Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 819 - 702: Pseudo Authority: Usurper_2

The arrogance and conceit in his character were evident, and naturally, he could not be frightened into a hasty retreat by a mere tornado.

Glancing at the crew members who turned their hopeful eyes towards him, the self-respecting "Eternal Flame" had no intention of letting his title be tarnished, and lightly left a message:

"Everyone do your part, I’ll be right back."

Swish!

His entire body exploded with fiery red Combat Qi Flame, and this Titled Knight, standing at the pinnacle of the human Extraordinary World, shot into the sky, reaching the tornado in the blink of an eye.

Boom——!

Without striking a pose, his whole body was blazing with Combat Qi Flame, gradually transforming into a sea of fire behind him, the dazzling bright white light almost bringing this sea area back to daylight.

Subsequently, the infinite light gradually condensed into a fiercely burning Thorn Crown above his head.

Though to ordinary people it appeared to be a combination of fire and thorns, to every believer of the "Eternal Flame," it was the Holy Statue of the True God.

From the second Chapter of the "Eternal Flame" scripture, "The Gospel of Revelation": Vision and Mission—the manifestation of divine glory in the burning thorn bush.

[Titled Ability: Heart Image: Glory of the Holy Spirit]

Undoubtedly, this Titled Knight "Thorny Fire," besides being the Imperial Guardian of Hilus, was also a devout believer of the "Eternal Flame," with beliefs aligning with the more inclusive "Tinder Sect."

Woosh——

Raising his right hand high, the blazing Thorn Crown descended into his palm, silently transforming into a crimson thorny vine full of spikes, resembling a fierce whip made of vertebrae.

Without hesitation.

Staring directly at the incoming waterspout, he bellowed.

"Ha!"

The thorny whip in his hand, carrying a scorching flame capable of melting gold and iron, lashed out like a flash of lightning.

Boom——!!!

The entire sky seemed to tremble, the burning thorny whip easily tore through the atmosphere, striking the towering tornado with a diameter of hundreds of meters, splitting it in two.

The next moment, the unstoppable terrifying power began to gradually dissipate.

"Ah! Long live the Imperial Guardian!"

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The rescued crew members looked reverently at the majestic figure standing in mid-air, surrounded by flames, wind, and thunder, now... showing him the reverence due to a deity.

In the cabin of the [Sea Soul], Aiven jumped up, almost ready to run.

"Is this the [Titled Sacred Artifact] capable of harming gods?!"

With his current dual-path strength, augmented by various enhancements, he was highly confident against ordinary Titled Knights. However, existences with a Personality comparable to a Wizard’s [Truth Embodiment], who nurtured a [Titled Sacred Artifact], were still far from his match.

There was no other choice but to escape, at least if he were to be struck by the absolute [Titled Sacred Artifact], there would be no opportunity to use a second or third life.

But he quickly realized he was just worrying needlessly.

"No, this is just an illusion, it doesn’t have that kind of absoluteness belonging to a [Titled Sacred Artifact]."

The so-called "Titled Sacred Artifact" is a dreamlike weapon said to possess "absoluteness," nurtured with the power of a Titled Knight’s accumulated "name," using their own Heart Image as the framework, some historical artifact as the carrier, with a bit of divine power at its core.

For example, the "Rose Sword Saint" Ilvendi’s Titled Sacred Artifact [Sword of Cutting All Things: Geldios] possesses the absoluteness of "Unbreakable."

But currently, although "Thorny Fire" was preparing to condense his own [Titled Sacred Artifact]—also derived from the scripture, the [Bloody Thorn Crown: Messiah], it was merely reaching the threshold of consolidating a "Titled Sacred Artifact," still a distance from true success.

Although Aiven did not follow the orthodox knight’s path, he had personally witnessed the Heart Image of the "Rose Sword Saint" early in his Extraordinary Path. He was also the only one in the world who could execute the Secret Sword Art that could even slice through the sky—[Rose Flower Country].

He had the discernment to identify the level his opponent was at.

"Gave me a fright, since it’s not yet a [Titled Sacred Artifact], still at the level of a Titled Knight’s Heart Image, then don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Aiven raised his right hand again and slammed it down hard.

As drawing a knife to cut water makes it flow more, drawing wind follows the same logic, and the cold and warm air masses were readjusted by Aiven, who activated the [Usurper], and the howling tornado immediately returned.

This time it did not hold back, the tornado directly coalesced into an enormous Wind Element giant hand, which then aggressively swatted at "Thorny Fire," who was styling himself in mid-air and enjoying the adoring gaze of his subordinates.

[True: Heaven-Dropping Palm Method]

"What?"

It was only at this moment that "Thorny Fire" suddenly realized there was a malicious Magical Transcendent controlling this tornado behind the scenes.

However.

Just as [Heart Image] expanded to firmly protect him within, the swift giant hand already pummeled him away.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

Skipping across the turbulent sea, he bounced more than ten times.

Meanwhile, the exploration ship he was safeguarding was mercilessly snatched up by the tornado-formed giant wind element hand and dragged several hundred meters into the sky like a straw.

Creaaak!

Standing in the captain’s cabin of the [Sea Soul], Aiven gently clenched his right hand, and a skyful of blood mist, mixed with shattered planks and cannons, fell like rain.

With enemies destined to be opposed sooner or later, one must seize the opportunity to shoot them in the back without mercy!

Boom!

The majestic Combat Qi Flame burst forth, and the formidable "Thorny Fire," barely injured, emerged from the sea in the distance. Seeing his subordinates turned to blood rain, even though he was seething with anger, he could only impotently rage:

"Ah——! Who dares to oppose Hilus, show yourself, I’ll kill you!"

Losing two Great Knights and a group of elite soldiers was a minor issue, but having the [Titled Sacred Artifact] delay by years was intolerable to him, so close to completion.

Boom! Boom!...

The thorny whip in his hand continued to smash into the water, surging huge splashes tens of meters high, and the immense Flame Stream almost boiled the sea.

At this moment.

Because this sea area was only a few hundred meters deep, and the [Sea Soul] was too large a target, Aiven simply put it away, directly transformed into a Blue Flag Demon Shark, leisurely swimming away.

"Haha, I just love seeing you hate me but unable to do anything about it. Oh my, how terrifying, I’m outta here! I’m outta here!"

Provoke him and then run immediately, exhilarating. Hmm, as long as this guy stays in the New Continent, I’ll find an opportunity to provoke him again someday.
