Chapter 973 Combat Sense
Grades didn’t mean everything in the infinite universes!
It was only a means of differentiating the changes of a species at different levels of strength.
However, this differentiation of grades became less meaningful whenparing across different species.
Take the current situation, for example. Even though all the fighters appeared to be Third Grade, an unexpected oue would present itself if everyone fought with all they had.
Simply put, Third Grade Thunder Dragon Arms utterly eclipsed Gold Knight Lambert in power.
Both of them relied primarily on their Strength and Physique, with Spirit as their secondary source of power. They used both physical strength and arcane forces inbat. However, Arms thoroughly crushed Lambert in all of these aspects due to his tremendous attributes as a dragon.
Even though they were both at Third Grade, Arms only needed to pay a small price to exterminate Lambert.
Meanwhile, Arms had no chance of beating Greem now that he possessed both the Fire Throne set and Sodden’s Holy Ring.
Taking into consideration the elementium magical machine, Greem even had a significant likelihood of killing this arrogant Third Grade thunder dragon. The reason Arms had been so obedient as ofte had much to do with Greem’s rapid growth in power!
Now the Third Grade thunder dragon and the Third Grade elementium magical machine had joined hands to fight against the holy knightmander. Lambert roared out loud in fury and anger, but there was no changing his situation of being beaten down by his two enemies.
If it weren’t for therge groups of Second Grade Silver Knights charging into the fray and using their bodies as shields to desperately obstruct the dragon and the machine, Lambert would already be dead.
Greem did not participate in the fight. Instead, he stood to the side, his zing eyes sweeping across all the buildings as a hint of disdain glowed through his eyes.
This Holy Light Chapel had two Third Grades stationed. Yet, only one had arrived. That obviously meant that the other Third Grade knight was waiting in the shadows for a chance to strike. That knight’s target was very likely Greem himself!
Hehehe. If you won’te out, then I’ll smoke you out like a rat!
Greem snickered to himself and immediately started chanting the major spell Summon megate.
With him, the elementium magical machine, and Arms fighting in the Holy Light Chapel, the ce had already been turned into utter chaos and a mess from their sheer size and power. If another horde of terrifying fire creatures were to appear, this battle would be over.
Just as Greem got halfway through his chant, a white light shed in the hall behind him. A powerful sword radiance fast as light and white as snow instantly appeared behind him.
A series of crackling sounds rang out.
The Inferno Shields and Lava Shields around Greem were all destroyed by this one longsword; it contained tremendous holy power. The longsword sliced against the fire giant’s waist, tearing a one-meter long and half-meter deep gash into the magma armor.
Red mes spilled forth from the giant’s body, along with boilingva.
The athletic figure dodged Greem’s giant hand and sliced upward with his de, chopping off another two fingers.
The series of wounds caused Greem to fly into a rage. His Strength and Physique had indeed increased after he turned into a me giant, but his Agility had also been reduced to an uneptable level.
Greem was no longer willing to y a game of cat-and-mouse with his opponent. He lifted his thick zing leg and stomped against the ground. The next second, a powerful halo of fire erupted around him and spread outward.
Any living creature within range of the me halo would be pushed back fifty meters and have to endure 220 points of fire damage.
me Halo of Repulsion!
It was one of the Third Grade fire spells that Greem had carefully chosen for the Chip’s optimization. It possessed both a damaging and knockback effect, making for a shockingly practical spell in battle.
The Gold Knight was a fast swordsman specializing in Agility. He immediately retreated upon seeing the halo of fire approach. The Halo of Repulsion remained half a meter from his feet, unable to catch up to his fleetingly fast silhouette.
After fifty meters, the energy of the wave had worn out and dispersed into singing sparks. The Gold Knight stopped his body and once again charged toward Greem like a sh of lightning.
Even though he would have to endure the fire by diving into the sea of mes, the resistance of a Third Grade Gold Knight allowed him to cut a few more wounds on Greem’s body before his protective holy light was burned through.
At their level, attempting to win against an enemy without sustaining damage was nearly impossible. Most of the time, it was a matter of who was more ruthless.
As long as you are more heavily injured than me, as long as I can recover faster than you, then that will be enough!
However, what Ke never expected was that this otherworldly fire adept he was fighting was no ordinary adept. The adept was a melee adept who was capable ofpeting at close range as well.
With the Fire Molding ability of the Emblem of Fire, Greem couldpress and reduce his size, turning himself into a terrifying three-meter-tall humanoid bursting with bright yellow mes. A fire shield formed in his left hand and a firence in his right. He gave Ke no opportunity to close the distance, immediatelyunching thence at the knight.
All of the material world vanished from Greem’s sight, instead reced by patches of color in various shapes and sizes. With his Elementium Sight, Greem could directly see the flow of magical elementium. He could vaguely make out the distribution of power within his opponent’s body.
Spots of red light in different sizes and intensities were scattered across Knight Ke’s body, mostly concentrated around his legs, chest, and right wrist. These spots were not unmoving and unchanging. Instead, they were continually shifting slightly with every stance and movement that the Gold Knight made.
When Ke nted his foot against the ground and mysteriously changed trajectory, the red light on his legs was practically blinding. When Ke charged to Greem’s side to attack, the right wrist by which he held his sword would let forth a powerful light.
However, Greem paid the most attention to the massive white light on Ke’s chest.
Countless white threads extended from that white light, connecting all of his limbs and organs throughout the body. It was the white light that supported Ke and allowed him to maintain his phantasmally quick movements.
With the aid of the Chip, Greem was able to defend against the attacks of this agile knight through analysis of the flow of power within the knight’s body. Greem would always be able to predict the strange and sudden movements of the knight ahead of time. If Ke’s Agility had not exceeded Greem by so much, he would probably have been wounded by the firences.
It was thebat support system that Greem and the Chip had produced after much thought and refinement.
ording to Greem’s initial ns, this system should have at least helped him obtain perfect control over the battlefield. It didn’t matter how many enemies there were or how powerful they were. Their power could not be present everywhere and at every moment. Greem could move freely across the battlefield by seeing through the state of thebat and predicting it ahead of time.
He could move to where the enemy’s power was the weakest–move to where the enemy could not exert control–before closing in and ying the enemy on the spot with the lowest risk possible and with the least amount of energy required.
It was a good thought, but the reality was much harsher!
Controlling the battlefield required one to have a perfect grasp of the enemy’s dynamic movements. The Chip’s ability was enough against ordinary people. However, when dealing with an opponent at the same grade or above, the Chip had a tremendous amount of work to do. It needed energy vision, elementium sight, remote distance sensing, dynamic movement capturing, and a series of other abilities to support its calctions, not to mention the massive amount of calction itself.
The use of all these abilities exhausted Greem tremendously.
His current Spirit could not support the use of so many analytical abilities. At the very least, Greem could not do so in the heat of battle.
Rather, the Chip could not do it!
The Chip could provide simple elementium sight and energy vision at the moment. However, it could not entirely capture the dynamic movements of the opponent. After all, enemies of higher grades tended to have exceptionally sharp and immediate responses. They would instantly correct theirbat strategy once they discovered Greem changing his ownbat stances and attack patterns.
When the Chip calcted the enemy’s next position and attack, it not only had to calcte all sorts of factors such as Strength, Physique, Spirit, battle conditions, and battle environments, but it also had to calcte the enemy’s potential reaction to Greem’s adjusted movements.
All of these demanded a remarkably powerful calction ability!
Clearly, in its current form, the Chip was not capable of such a colossal task.
Even so, the few simple support systems it provided helped Greem’s battle tremendously!
From Ke’s perspective, it almost seemed as if his opponent was a devil who could read his mind. It didn’t matter what feints he used or what misleading footwork he made; the opponent would always throw his fire spears at the most awkward spots.
Many fire javelins that he assumed were inurate shots would prove to be frightening and calcted attacks after one or two seconds. That was because Ke would often be forced into the radius of the explosion of these javelins by the enemy’s powerful attacks.
Though the protective holy light deflected most of the mes, Ke was quickly exhausting the holy light power within himself as well. Once the holy light power vanished, Ke would start to sustain damage while remaining within the opponent’s Burning Domain.
When that happened, it would probably be his turn to be the prey!
