Pillar of Yita

However, it was evident that in the current battle, the difference between the first two was no longer sufficient to alter the outcome—at least not for now.

Yet there was a third kind of difference on the battlefield.

The difference between him and Irs.

This difference was naturally significant, if placed outside, he wouldn’t even need any Dragon Knight Rigging; just a single glance from the opponent could kill him a hundred times. But here, Irs’s profession was a warrior, and the attribute distribution of a warrior in this world was certainly of no use.

Of course, the opponent’s level was high, and the tenacity of his soul certainly far surpassed his own.

But what about calculative power?

Of course, in combat between Dragon Knights, under the base of Dragon Soul’s calculative power, his slight advantage in calculative power was naturally insignificant; more or less by a hundred, it wouldn’t affect the outcome.

But Fang Hong suddenly thought, what if another battlefield were opened up?

He could multitask, controlling multiple Constructs in battle, but as a warrior, that was absolutely beyond his capabilities.

”A few more Energy Angels, Miss Tata.”

Tata executed the command accordingly.

And on the battlefield, as a few streaks of white light revealed the elegant forms of Platinum Swordsmen, Irs finally widened his eyes, an expletive beginning with ’w’, ’t’, and ’f’ could not help but spill out—

In fact, in the previous battles, Fang Hong was feeling incredibly frustrated, and so was he? The opponent’s strange mannered Dragon Knight, with unbelievably formidable strength, was something he had never heard of before, several times he nearly won, but the opponent always had some bizarre ability to turn the tables.

Moreover, that damned kid was equally headache-inducing, claimed to be only level twenty-something? Yet some of his maneuvers always gave him a feeling of déjà vu, always like he had seen them somewhere before.

Sometimes he even felt as if he was confronting FOX, and sometimes the opponent would suddenly transform into Nether or some other person, with a style so bizarre it could drive one crazy; even though each style was a bit raw, if it wasn’t, then God help him?

Wasn’t this akin to facing a dozen or so top experts all alone?

He clearly had the upper hand, yet he couldn’t take down the opponent due to these outlandish little tricks. He, a dignified Dragon Knight, a star player, where was his dignity?

But unexpectedly, not only was he denied any face-saving, at this moment, the opponent turned around and summoned more Energy Angels?

WDNMD, probably the only taste in Irs’s heart at this moment.

But soon after, it wasn’t just astonishment; it turned into a real threat.

As Fang Hong analyzed in his heart, he could multitask, open up a second battlefield, but Irs didn’t have that ability. Usually, he was his own second battlefield, as a top-level warrior, his strength wasn’t inferior to his own Dragon Knight Rigging.

But in this world, the situation was vastly different. Physical attributes couldn’t be leveraged; what was left of a warrior? Higher perception? But keen perception wouldn’t help him defeat his opponent.

However, when the three Energy Angels blinked, forming a triangle in front of him, facing the glittering blade arms, Irs immediately felt things were getting troublesome.

Of course, just troublesome—

He almost grit his teeth as he commanded, ”Hillofen, Domain.” He really didn’t want to use this ability. After all, playing large against small against the opponent to begin with, using the Dragon Knight Domain meant winning wouldn’t differ much from losing.

Knowing it would be this embarrassing, he would have just opened the Domain from the start.

An invisible ripple instantly opened from Hillofen, instantly enveloping Fang Hong, Miss Tata, and where Xiuma was, also encompassing the three Energy Angels.

Fang Hong was instantly immobilized.

All Constructs came to a halt at once.

”It’s the Gravity Domain, Mr. Knight,” Tata calmly replied.

Fang Hong was already clear in his mind; the ’Dragon Knight Domain’ was the most unique ability of a Dragon Knight, originating from the Dragon Soul Crystal, thus each Dragon Knight’s ’Domain Field’ was different.

Ye Hua’s Hailan excelled at the ’Perception Field’ and ’Repulsion Field.’ The ’Gravity Domain’ was precisely the specialty of Hillofen and Irs.

Generally speaking, only the power level of the Second World could counter the Domain. But for someone like him faced with a ’Domain Field,’ it was akin to being crushed; thus, as soon as the ’Gravity Domain’ opened, it was as if time had frozen for him, rendering him immobile.

His body felt like it weighed thousands—

Irs exhaled lightly, only then raising his head to look at him, with a complex expression, finally asked, ”What on earth is your Dragon Knight?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the courtyard seemed to awaken from a dream, a slight murmur swept over the crowd—yes, wasn’t this guy supposed to be a Combat Artisan, how could he possess a Dragon Soul and Dragon Knight?

Few realized that a Combat Artisan indeed could possess a Dragon Soul and Dragon Knight, it just required giving up many things.

Fang Hong remained silent, his eyes directed to where a faint light appeared behind Irs.

There, within the Light Gate that opened, the last Energy Angel was hidden.

A flash from the sword, even with Irs’s keen perception, it was too late. Because with the ’Domain Field’ opened by Hillofen, there was no time to turn in that direction—he had anticipated almost every move of Fang Hong in the earlier battles, but at the last moment, the opponent instead seized his intentions first.

The Dragon Knight Domain was within Fang Hong’s calculative range.

But what he hid was beyond Irs’s computations.

That sword was neither too fast nor too slow, aiming to pierce Irs’s back. But a silver light shot forth, hitting the blade, with a clang of sparks, the Energy Angel’s blade remarkably broke.

This seemingly foolproof strike missed its mark, Fang Hong’s heart sank. He had pinpointed the direction from which the silver light came, but he couldn’t turn; he simply heard a voice from that direction say:

”Irs, that’s the Dragon Knight Xiuma, surely you’ve heard its legend?”

”To lose to it is only appropriate for Hillofen.”

Irs’s expression turned grim as he lifted his head, gritting his teeth: ”I haven’t lost.”
