Chapter 661: Fierce Battle

Ke Lai En froze for a moment, then quickly realized this was the God of Knowledge and Wisdom communicating with him. He knew few people had replaced the Sea God, but there happened to be an Ice Mountain General, which meant the God of Knowledge and Wisdom also knew this information. Yet, since He had already intervened in the battlefield, why didn't He act himself?

While pondering, Ke Lai En raised his field of view and lifted the Sea God scepter in his hand, its finely set azure‑blue gem instantly radiating pure, clear light.

Outside Ao Laise Dun Port, the surging sea that had been roaring suddenly froze, then retreated backward in defiance of physics, collapsing repeatedly; the towering waves lowered until they fell back into the sea, and even the layered dark clouds in the sky thinned considerably at that moment.

"This—" Anderson widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief as he watched the scene, his throat tightening as he kept swallowing the saliva produced by his nerves and shock.

He had a premonition that Mr. Fool was exerting influence.

Wait, I don't think I have any payment to give, nor did I promise anything to Mr. Fool; later, when I pray to Mr. Fool, I'll ask, and also gather some Russell diaries, hoping my luck isn't too bad so I can collect some useful entries.

After making up his mind, Anderson suddenly relaxed. Since Mr. Fool had already acted, the war's outcome was no longer in doubt—we would surely win!

Soon, his gaze was drawn to a massive vessel on the sea covered with a layer of silver‑white armor; the pattern on that silver armor resembled the full armor of the Silver Knight, appearing extremely hard, unmoved by any wave's assault.

"They equipped an entire Steel giant ship with 'Guardian'? At this level, only a demigod‑level miraculous item could achieve such an effect."

Anderson clicked his tongue as he watched the ship that slammed into a golden high wall made of countless undead; the silver armor, driven by immense force, was driven deep into the wall.

His sense of danger erupted instantly, as if he were standing at the mouth of a volcano ready to erupt, and the thudding in his chest made him see a blinding red.

The next second, the massive ship cloaked in silver‑white armor turned crimson and ignited instantly, spewing clusters of flames outward in all directions from its interior.

These crimson‑yellow flames were highly sentient, darting swiftly and precisely striking weak points of nearby structures and crowds, creating an exaggerated blaze.

In midair, dark clouds gathered rapidly; amid the rumbling, strands of silver‑white electric serpents surged forth, bearing a violently tangible destructive aura, swarming and striking precisely at each darting flame, extinguishing them.

Specks of bronze‑colored glimmer also appeared, skittering across Yin Di Si's armored ship, forming a pair of illusory eyes that directly perceived weak spots, creating eyes for the weak spots.

Above the gray mist, Ke Lai En, having noticed the scene, immediately understood and ceased finely controlling each bolt of lightning.

Within the heavy clouds, silver‑white lightning converged and intertwined swiftly, forming a silver‑white spear woven purely of lightning, descending toward the weak spot identified by those illusory eyes.

In the blink of an eye, a strand of silver‑white lightning from the sky struck, piercing the Steel giant ship, shattering into countless tiny electric serpents that leapt toward nearby conductive objects, inflicting secondary damage on the vessel.

In less than a second, the darting tiny electric serpents rapidly weakened and vanished completely.

Soon, more crimson‑yellow flames shot out from the ship's hold, landing on the dock, igniting all surrounding flammable material and creating an exaggerated fire.

Then the flames rose, converged ahead, reassembled rapidly, forming a small but formidable, well‑equipped army.

The wailing wind surged instantly, colliding with the air and sounding explosive; visible rings of terrifying vortexes spiraled and twisted, forming an unstoppable tornado.

The howling tornado swept the dock's stacked cargo, the burning flames, and even the newly revealed Yin Di Si troops into the air, pushing them toward the sea ahead.

At the same time, the massive Steel giant ship defied gravity and floated, ignoring the tornado's terrifying pull, retreating toward the rear sea while swiftly adjusting the deck's side cannons to aim all barrels toward the dock.

As engraved runes lit up in concentric circles, the Steel fleet's artillery fired again, its projectiles' paths distorted by the tornado, becoming chaotic and unpredictable.

The Yin Di Si unit caught in the tornado also reignited, turning into clusters of flames shooting outward in all directions, mixing with the artillery fire.

A massive sonic boom rang out, mingled with the wailing of the wind domain; under the layered pressure of the sky, it attempted to directly destroy the cannonballs hurled by the tornado and the intermingled crimson‑yellow flames.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Continuous explosions echoed in the air as the tornado‑thrown cannonballs detonated, painting the sky with dazzling golden flames.

Solar Realm purification power instantly spread, the air crackling with hissing sounds, strands of pale white smoke rising from nowhere, and transparent liquid seeping out. Around, masses of souls, undead and nature spirits surged like tides, emitting thin, painful howls that quickly dissolved.

Above the gray mist, Ke Lai En whispered in awe:

"On the battlefield, a 'Iron‑blooded Knight' wielding a relic is truly formidable, both in wisdom and extraordinary abilities."

As the words faded, he swung the Sea God scepter again, and with spiritual infusion it burst forth with a surge of pure, clear light.

Outside the dock of Ao Laise Dun Port, fierce winds scraped the air, producing bursts of explosions that formed a series of air cannons, hurling the floating Steel giant ship into the heights.

But soon the surrounding air grew viscous, and the air cannons could no longer generate enough thrust to push the massive Steel giant ship upward.

There shouldn't be any angels aboard; what miraculous item could this be? As the thought drifted, Ke Lai En halted the air cannon production and switched to releasing lightning.

Taking advantage of the raging sea's chaotic weather, he easily gathered a massive field of lightning, causing countless silver‑white electric serpents to cascade down.

Before they could approach, the silver‑white electric serpents turned crimson, their currents waning, becoming light and heat that illuminated the entire sea.

Pu La Ke Ai Ge Si's figure silently emerged within the crimson‑golden flames; he glanced at the nearby sea as if speaking to himself:

"This is the ability of the 'Knowledge Mentor', capable of altering physical laws to some degree, but that ship should not have any angels aboard."

While speaking, he thrust both hands forward forcefully, as if pushing open a non‑existent door.

In an instant, a bronze-colored gate adorned with indescribable mysterious patterns appeared ahead, trembling and creaking as it slowly opened.

Inside the gate lay endless darkness, filled with countless indescribable eyes staring outward, exuding malice as if they could see hidden souls through the flames.

As the gate opened, the death aura that had been purified thickened again, and a massive swarm of strange, indistinct, indescribable entities writhed and multiplied wildly.

Simultaneously, one star after another materialized within the gate, densely packed and dazzling.

An invisible wave dispersed unevenly, the surroundings suddenly darkened as if night had fallen, a tranquil, serene feeling arriving with specks of starlight.

The surrounding dense crimson‑yellow flames that completely enveloped Pu La Ke swayed uncontrollably, falling to the ground, rapidly converging and reconstituting into several figures.

Their belongings began to weather, their bodies aged, the speed so rapid it seemed as if hundreds of years had passed in just one or two seconds.

Within this area, all items grew mottled, continuously shedding fragments or being lifted as dust; the spirit within sentient items drained rapidly until none remained, turning into shards that fell to the ground.

Pu La Ke Ai Ge Si's eyes ignited with a pale flame as he gazed at a "Iron‑blooded Knight" ahead, wielding a long sword stained with mottled blood and clad in darkened full armor, fully capturing the opponent's silhouette in his gaze.

The opponent's aura instantly withered, as if sprinting toward death, and even the darkened full armor became mottled, its surface showing rust.

The intense stimulus jolted the "Iron‑blooded Knight" awake from his dormant state; his body ignited instantly, attempting to shatter into flames to flee the death‑ and darkness‑shrouded area.

Inside the open bronze gate, a pair of pale‑purple eyes silently emerged, meeting the "Iron‑blooded Knight's" gaze.

Within the eyes, complex illusory symbols coalesced rapidly, flooding the opponent's mind with a torrent of useless, chaotic knowledge, freezing him in place and quickly extinguishing the flames on his body.

Seizing the moment, Pu La Ke appeared behind the opponent; his right arm turned pallid, cold as a corpse, nails blackened, sharp, sprouting an extra segment.

In this state, his right hand easily pierced the rust‑stained full armor, cutting through flesh and bone, stabbing the opponent's chest.
