Chapter 380: Supermodel Bro

Looking at the 【Great Deity Declaration】 in Li Ang's hand, Otavio's movement halted abruptly.

He had considered many possibilities, but never imagined the situation would develop like this.

The Empire had no records on Gungnir, since Li Ang rarely used this guaranteed-hit spear in the main world.

'Interesting.'

Otavio stretched his body; having stayed too long in the chaotic Kails Star Cluster, he'd almost forgotten when he last faced an opponent this strong.

'If I recall correctly, it was thirty years ago, on that battlefield, I encountered the 【Grand Judge】.'

As he thought this, the 【Star Plunderer Rider】's mind flashed with an image of a tall woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

After briefly calming his emotions, Otavio took a deep breath and vanished from his spot.

The next instant, the dark-golden spear tip had already reached Li Ang's face.

Ziiii—!

Sparks flew as the black knight's spear lashed out like a dragon, its long weapon striking the crimson-and-azure sphere like a storm of rain and wind.

Like the 【Great Deity Declaration】, the 【Imperial Choice·Star Piercer】 possessed no flashy abilities—only the most straightforward and brutal 【Piercing】.

Specifically, even with the Qiu Dao Yu's defense, fine white marks still appeared on Li Ang's body.

Seeing this, Otavio frowned.

Something was off; logically, the 【Imperial Choice·Star Piercer】 should have inflicted far more damage, even without direct contact.

'This level of bodily resilience… So that's it.'

Recalling the intelligence on the dragon before him, Otavio formed a tentative hypothesis.

The giant dragon before him was not underestimating him by refusing to reveal its true form—this appearance was likely its true form.

Only then could one explain why its bodily strength was so absurd.

Realizing this, he let out a roar brimming with battle lust: 'Good! This is how it should be!'

'?'

The sudden roar left Li Ang bewildered—he had no idea why the former Imperial baron had suddenly become excited.

Ignoring the opponent, Li Ang stared at the motionless spear in his hand with golden-lit pupils, then closed his eyes and pressed it against his forehead.

'【Great Deity Declaration·Gungnir】.'

Because Otavio's speed was too fast, Li Ang spent considerable effort to successfully anchor his presence.

But now, he no longer needed to worry.

The fate marker had been planted; the guaranteed-hit spear would inevitably pierce its target.

At this moment, the black knight raging over the dim yellow moon suddenly felt a chill.

Without hesitation, he stomped the ground and retreated backward.

Under the colossal force, the ground dozens of kilometers around shattered instantly; the massive recoil propelled Otavio rapidly backward.

But it was useless.

After the Type-Moon world's enhancement, Gungnir's 【Guaranteed Hit】 had been drastically strengthened.

No matter how fast Otavio moved, this guaranteed-hit divine spear moved slightly faster than him.

Seeing Gungnir already pressed against his breastplate, Otavio's pupils shrank sharply.

Faintly, he seemed to already see his own heart pierced through.

'This is!?'

Before he could think further, Otavio swung the 【Imperial Choice·Star Piercer】 to deflect the spear relentlessly chasing him.

Ding—!

He successfully deflected Gungnir.

But before he could exhale, the spear—glowing with bone-chilling cold—clung to him like a persistent parasite.

'Tch, such a nuisance.'

Otavio's expression darkened.

The situation was growing unfavorable—he had to simultaneously fend off this spear and other attacks from the distant dragon.

If this continued, he'd be dragged into an endless war of attrition.

Moreover, judging by the opponent's earlier wasteful use of energy, he was likely to lose.

At least Otavio knew he couldn't treat an attack like Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion as a basic auto-attack.

Only his exceptional defense kept him alive; a normal fourth-tier cultivator would have been dead already.

As the battlefield fell into stalemate,

Two indistinct figures stood in the void, watching the scene.

One of them sneered: 'I wonder what kind of dog luck your Federation scum had to stumble upon this aberrant little dragon.'

Hearing this, the other scoffed: 'If you're jealous, just say it, you Empire dog.'

Then, he added sarcastically: 'Or are you this dog too cowardly to fight fairly and resort to bullying a child?'

Facing the mockery, the first speaker didn't anger—he merely sneered: 'The Empire has no use for such tactics; it's your Federation that delights in these filthy schemes.'

'Heh, same to you.'

The second speaker took no offense; as a major power in this world, the Federation and the Empire were equally corrupt—neither had the right to judge the other.

After a brief silence, the figure clearly identified as the Empire's high-tier cultivator, gazing at the battle on the dim yellow moon, asked casually: 'This little dragon's class is strange—when did your Federation develop this path?'

'Guess.'

'Tch.'

Seeing he gained no useful information, the Empire's high-tier cultivator paid no mind and continued observing the juvenile dragon.

'Does a truly perfect class really exist in this world?'

No, if the Federation had truly developed this path, the Empire should have noticed something was wrong long ago.

So this transformation occurred only through a combination of talent and race?

Thinking of this, He quietly let out a breath of relief.

If this profession could be replicated, it would be terrifying—thankfully, it's probably just an isolated case.

He knew Otavio's strength, yet now he was completely overwhelmed by the Federation's little dragonling.

Of course, Otavio still had a chance to win.

As a high-tier professional of the Empire, the shadow had some understanding of what this former Empire baron might be hiding.

【Imperial Selection·Stellar Piercer】 was not the opponent's true trump card.

【Invincible Knight】—no mere external artifact could grant such a title within the Empire.

At this moment, the battlefield.

Li Ang watched the approaching black knight and casually unleashed a Golden Wheel Reincarnation Blast upon him.

Undeniably, the 【Star Plunderer Rider】 was the most troublesome enemy he had faced since becoming a professional.

Even facing both Gungnir and the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Blast, the opponent was merely disheveled.

But as long as the battle continued like this, Li Ang could simply wear Otavio down to exhaustion.

This was the confidence granted by the Third Method!

And whatever Li Ang could think of, Otavio could think of too.

He glanced at the young man far away, who showed not a trace of fatigue, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

After blocking Gungnir once more, he made his decision.

'There's no other choice.'

With resolve, Otavio drew a deep breath, then gripped his lance and charged straight toward Li Ang's position.

A black meteor, mixed with dark-gold light, crossed the earth in mere seconds.

At this moment, Otavio abandoned all defense, adopting a desperate, life-or-death stance.

Feeling the chilling cold behind him, he remained unmoved, pressing forward relentlessly.

Sssss—!

Sparks flew as Gungnir pierced through the knight's back armor and buried itself deep into his body.

Yet despite the searing pain coursing through his body, Otavio showed no reaction—only extended his left hand to block the approaching golden light.

Beneath the exploding Golden Wheel Reincarnation Blast, the earth shattered into massive fragments.

Wolves ahead, tigers behind—Otavio's situation plummeted.

Finally, he halted, summoning all his strength to thrust his lance forward.

"Stellar Piercer!"

With a thunderous roar, a spearhead phantom, rivaling half a moon in size, suddenly descended from the void toward Li Ang's position.

Seeing this, Li Ang raised an eyebrow.
