Chapter 1012: Sacred Kings vs Knights (III)

Ivar the Flawless was a name that rose to fame as one of the greatest geniuses of the Magi World, and that reached the point where he stood at the same level as Primarchs while being a Rank 8 life form.

Even after hundreds of thousands of years and the entire universe changing into the Daybreak Universe, the tale of the young body that hated Gods and brought their doom was still spoken.

Although his talent could not match the speed of certain geniuses like Ezequiel, he had never stopped rising higher, so it was no wonder he managed to evolve to the Fourth Realm after gaining Soulblood Brain.

However, that was not his only Fourth Realm weapon since he had never stopped using the spear that brought the end of the God's Path of Power.

It was not wrong to call Ivar the Strongest Sacred King!

And that was why he had taken the responsibility of facing the strongest of the Knights in this parallel dimension.

At the beginning of their fight, the Knight's body resembled what could only be described as a twisted demonic box with strange faces.

The power of the Knight was formidable, but Ivar was able to detect that the energy of this one was too high for an Initial Stage life form to handle.

Clearly, the Knight had managed to enhance his energy and soul force to the Middle Stage level but could not control it due to his weak cultivation base and lack of Omnipotence. Using wisdom that surpassed Ivar's comprehension, this one must have found a way to split his body into six avatars capable of fully using all his power.

Although learning all that from a single clash might seem too much, Ivar's mind was capable of analyzing every cell of his body as if it were an entire world, so his insight and cognitive abilities were superb, to say the least.

Ivar knew there was not one true body among those six, and all of them were the real Beyonder's Knight, so if he wanted to kill the enemy, he would have to kill them all.

The Imperishable Body Sacred King clenched his fist, covering this one in dark golden Astral Force, before striking back against a bastard sword coming for his neck.

"¡BOOOOOM!"

The attacker had a muscular body with what could only be described as a pyramid for a head. There were dark runes engraved on his chest depicting his name.

Destroyer.

The strength the Destroyer could unleash did not fall behind any of the other Knights, but Ivar's fist still sent him flying away.

Unfortunately, the Sacred King could not relax since two more attacks came his way, both aiming at his spine.

The two new Knights also had their names engraved on their chest.

Slasher.

Reaper.

Slasher resembled a woman in dark armor holding a burning sword, while Reaper's appearance did honor his name, going to the point that he wielded a scythe.

Ivar's eyes were sharp as he twisted his body, using the torque to enhance his strength, allowing his kick to send the duo flying away.

There was no time to breathe for the Imperishable Body Sacred King since a barrage of dark arrows and lighting arcs was approaching him.

Archer and Speller.

Both Knights stood in the distance. Their bodies seem much more fragile than the rest of their battle partners. It made sense since both were a manifestation of the Strongest Knight's spell mastery and long-range abilities.

Ivar saw the ocean of projectiles coming his way. It was so massive that it hindered his view of the entire battlefield, but his heart remained calm as he grabbed Ars Goetia with both hands.

A single wave of the spear generated an arc of dark golden force that split that ocean apart!

Just as it seemed that Ivar was in total control, the last of the Knights managed to appear next to him.

Breaker.

The last of the six Knights was a giant covered in a dark robe, wielding a massive pillar.

"¡BOOOM!"

Despite his size, Breaker managed to strike Ivar's chest with immense speed, and the power of that pillar was catastrophic.

Ivar's eyes widened as he felt the air leaving his lungs due to the potency of the attack. He regained control over his body almost instantly, but there was a solemn light in his eye as he felt the blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.

The Imperishable Body Sacred King's constitution was by far the mightiest among the Sacred Kings, so if that attack had landed on anyone else, it would have broken several ribs.

"I am surprised to see you standing just like that."

All six Knights spoke simultaneously, with their voices echoing across the battlefield.

"It has been very long since someone managed to last more than a few minutes with me. Let's see just how much your body can endure."

A bloodthirsty aura emerged from the six Knights as their battle intent burst.

"I, Abysscry, the Silence of Death, will break you piece one piece at a time. Enjoy the power of my Six Avatars of Doom!"

The six Knights shouted in unison as they flashed toward Ivar, all bursting with energy, savagery, and killing intent.

'I can not afford to lose.'

Ivar's eyes burned with silver light as he understood what would happen if Abysscry were to defeat him.

"Astral Cloak!"

He clenched his grip over Ars Goetia, making his dark golden aura cover his entire body, enhancing every aspect of his body, but that was not all.

"Astral Burst!"

The dark golden force grew even more potent, pushing Ivar's body to the next level. The increased energy output put his body under tremendous stress, but he was able to resist.

Ivar was about to clash with the Six Avatars of Doom when he saw a golden dragon about to reach his back. The creature's presence only made him smile since once it connected with his body, his life and soul forces burst with power.

That dragon was not unique since a mythical beast full of life and energy reached every single one of the Sacred Kings, healing their bodies and souls before filling them with bursting vitality.

Obviously, the one firing those mythical beasts full of life and soul force was not other than the Genesis Sacred King. Unlike the others, Dante flashed across the parallel dimension, ready to use the Starlight Eternal Arc.

Of course, the Knights would not just let someone constantly heal their enemies, and one of them went after the Genesis Sacred King.

"Coward, come and face me, Wraithshriek, the Acolyte of Demolition!"

Wraithshriek resembled a demonic storm with fire inside his body. He was a proud Fourth Realm life form, but right now, there was nothing but shame and fury in his eyes.

Unlike the rest of the Knights in the midst of great battles, he was chasing a young man that refused to enter a direct fight. He was an Initial Stage life form but was also the weakest of all the Knights, which was exactly why he was left for Dante to handle.

The Genesis Sacred King showed a cold smile as he saw the Knight chasing after him. Wraithshriek was fast, but Dante managed to raise his speed to the next level by constantly burning his soul force and life force.

Such behavior would have quickly drained the Genesis Sacred King's life and battle power. However, no matter how much damage he took, the Starlight Eternal Arc kept healing him.

The energy core used as raw material for the weapon could heal the body and soul of a Peak Middle Stage life form like the Samsara Thearch, so its effects on an Initial Stage life form like that could be imagined.

Wraithshriek felt the gazes of the other Knights on him, making him tremble. Why would they allow him to live once the Daybreak-Beyonder War was over if he was useless?

However, no matter how much effort he put in, the Knight could not catch Dante. A flash of fear appeared in his eyes as he turned toward the other battles.

He would have little effect in the fights between Sacred Kings and Knights but could do a lot of damage if he attacked one of the six formations. After all, despite their power allowing the formation to take on Beyonder's Knights, they were full of Extreme Rank 9.

A vicious light appeared in Wraithshriek's eyes as he focused on a formation resembling a chimera full of bloodline warriors controlled by a beautiful woman.

"¡BOOM!"

A shock wave spread across the battlefield as Wraithshriek flashed toward the formation, but not even a second had passed when he felt a burning sensation on the side of his face.

"Do you really think I am so naive as to let you lose?"

Dante's voice was the last thing Wraithshriek heard before dozens of burning suns clashed on his body.

"¡BOOM!"

Roku, Ira, Eve, Ragnar, Pan Gu, and Bahamut smiled as they saw that explosion in the distance, but they did not let it distract them as they faced the Knights.
