Chapter 1458

As for the others, even the Knave, Argenti only occasionally swung his spear at her.

Most of the time, Argenti let his summons deal with the Knave.

If possible, Lyney naturally hoped to see the Knave go further and thereby obtain a Path.

The Knave was unaware of Lyney's thoughts at this moment.

After briefly sensing her current state combined with the power from Luo Feng's buff, she immediately turned into a blur and charged toward Argenti.

"So you've come."

Argenti, who had long sensed the Knave's situation, smiled slightly.

He thrust his spear toward the empty space beside him.

Just as the spear extended about half a meter forward,

The Knave suddenly appeared in the previously empty space.

Seeing the red spear already reaching before her eyes, the Knave quickly raised the scythe in her hand.

Clang!

With a crisp sound, the Knave gritted her teeth and withstood Argenti's strike.

This time, she did not retreat because of Argenti's power.

"Remarkable."

Argenti nodded in admiration.

"I knew you Fatui still had an ace up your sleeve."

Lumine also looked over.

"Even so, my power is not as great as yours right now."

"Go, Traveler. You take the lead, and I will support you."

The Knave said.

Although the other party was Fatui, Lumine didn't think too much about it at this moment; she raised her blade and once again turned into a pale light, arriving behind Argenti.

Just as Argenti retracted his spear to aim at Lumine, the Knave immediately swung her scythe to block Argenti.

For a moment, the three of them fought back and forth.

Navia, Clorinde, Collei, and others seemed to be encouraged by the Knave and Lumine, and they all swung their weapons to block the sculpture summons, preventing them from reinforcing Argenti.

【Arataki Itto: Such an intense battle, it's truly a pity. If only I could be there right now.】

【That Raiden Ei, she's just sitting beside Lord Luo Feng like that. Is she not planning to participate?】

【Yae Miko: Perhaps she's someone who lacks the strength to truss a chicken, which is why she chose to sit beside Lord Luo Feng?】

【Charlotte: We shouldn't judge whether someone possesses power based on whether they are sitting beside Lord Luo Feng, right?】

【If that were the case, wouldn't Lady Furina also have to be counted as someone who lacks the strength to truss a chicken?】

【Arataki Itto: Yeah, isn't it said that Raiden Ei is the shadow warrior of the Raiden Shogun? Since she's a shadow warrior, shouldn't she know a thing or two about fighting?】

【Yae Miko: This "shadow warrior" talk is, after all, just your speculation, isn't it?】

【Arataki Itto: I always feel like you fox-lady are hiding something.】

【Yae Miko: Hehe, it seems necessary to have a chat with you.】

【Kuki Shinobu: Shut up, Boss.】

………………

"The Fatui Harbinger's power is not weak."

"But she hasn't achieved any results!"

Raiden Ei frowned tightly.

"How about it, are you concerned?"

"If so, why not join the battle now?"

"I think Argenti wouldn't mind one more person to duel."

Luo Feng glanced at Raiden Ei sitting beside him and said.

"……Next time."

Raiden Ei thought for a moment and finally shook her head.

The other side had already fought to this extent; it didn't seem appropriate for her to enter the fray now.

Besides, Venti hadn't displayed the power possessed by a god either.

Although Raiden Ei didn't know why Venti would do this, it indeed reduced her desire to act.

In the end, she also glanced at Furina, who was sitting on the other side of Luo Feng.

It was as if she were saying that since Furina hadn't acted, there was no need for her to act either.

"W-what is it? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I just don't want to obtain a Path through fighting, that doesn't mean I don't understand combat."

Furina pursed her lips and said to Raiden Ei.

"Obtaining a Path without fighting……"

Raiden Ei lowered her head slightly, as if pondering whether this could succeed.

Regarding this, Luo Feng just shrugged indifferently and turned his gaze back to the Knave, Lumine, Navia, and the others against Argenti and his summons.

Although he allowed everyone to fight inside the train, it was limited to a certain extent.

Plus, Luo Feng could clearly sense the swarm of True Stings wandering outside the train and even infiltrating it; he couldn't just leave these bugs alone forever.

So he was prepared to intervene in the duel between Argenti and the passengers like the Knave at the necessary moment.

………………

"I can feel your longing, everyone."

"I presume that after this battle, you will surely be able to understand the true meaning of Beauty."

Argenti said with a smile while brandishing his long spear against Lumine and the Knave.

"If I can manage to knock you down, I think I might be able to understand the true meaning of Beauty."

The Knave said this while raising her hand and waving it toward Argenti.

The next moment, scarlet spikes grew from beneath Argenti's feet, pinning his entire body in place.

Seeing this, Lumine held her blade high, gathering a dense amount of Path of Trailblaze power, which transformed into a massive white sword.

"Although I do not wish to disappoint you, as a Knight of Beauty, I cannot be defeated so easily."

Argenti smiled and held his long spear upright in front of him with both hands.

Hum!

It was as if the sound of a bell tolling had rung out from where Argenti stood.

As the sound faded, those scarlet spikes constructed by the Knave that were attempting to pin Argenti down shattered instantly.

"What?"

The Knave's eyes widened.

Lumine's eyes narrowed, and she decisively leaped forward, as if to cleave Argenti in two with the greatsword in her hand.

"Before I see that radiance once more…"

Argenti opened his eyes, looking at Lumine, looking at the Knave, looking at Collei, Navia, Sigewinne, and the others behind them, and then looking at Venti, who was clearly hiding his true strength.

Every person Argenti gazed upon felt a massive pressure descend upon their shoulders out of thin air.

It was as if some terrifying entity had set its sights on them.

No, it shouldn't be called a terrifying entity.

After all, they did not feel any killing intent; this sensation was as if some gentle giant had cast its gaze upon them.

"…I shall defend all the beauty in the galaxy until the very last moment!"

Argenti said the second half of his sentence with a smile.

As his voice fell, his long spear had already been swung out toward Lumine, the Knave, Venti, Collei, Navia, and the others.

Lumine bore the brunt of it; seeing Argenti's spear strike, she hurriedly shifted her blade, which was condensed with Trailblaze power, from offense to defense.

With a single 'clink', Lumine's body was sent flying backward involuntarily, landing beside the Knave, Navia, and the others.

Fortunately, she herself was a traveler on the Path of Trailblaze,

and coupled with the buff from Luo Feng and the fact that Argenti had no intention of harming anyone,

she was not injured, and even managed to steady her posture well the moment she landed.

However, the Knave's luck was not quite as good.
