Chapter 520: Chapter 493: Formidable Destructive Power

Under Ronin’s lead, the group moved far away from the mountain range ravaged by the Elemental Storm, stopping in a random, secluded spot.

"Ronin, have you really become Legendary?"

Sophia asked repeatedly, her shock and disbelief evident.

Back then, she, Simon, and the others had decided to follow Ronin not only because he was willing to fight Holy Storm, but also because they saw his potential. He himself had frankly stated he was confident he could become Legendary within ten years.

This was what they were counting on for their return to the Crescent Continent.

Ronin nodded, and the Elemental Powers of water and fire appeared above his hands.

"Being Legendary is truly extraordinary!"

He sighed in admiration. "In the past, mobilizing the Heaven and Earth Elements consumed a certain amount of Spirit and required Magic Power as a catalyst. But now, I feel the surrounding Elemental Power has become incredibly docile, as if it’s ready to obey my command at any moment."

As he spoke, he dismissed the Wind and Fire Elements, replacing them with the Earth Element, Water Element, Thunder Element, and so on.

Once one becomes Legendary, they can dabble in Magic of other Attributes and create all sorts of Magic Scrolls and Magic Arrays.

Of course, creating Magic of other Attributes required consuming Spiritual Power and Magic Power; it wasn’t as effortless as using one’s Innate Elemental Attribute.

Seeing this, Sophia confirmed the fact that Ronin had become Legendary.

Even though she was a prodigy from the City of Dawn and one of the top figures among the younger generation, she still felt inadequate in Ronin’s presence.

Of course, she knew Ronin must have some unknown secret to have broken through so quickly.

But everyone has secrets. And for her, it didn’t matter how Ronin broke through. As long as he grew stronger, it was beneficial to her, to Orland, and even to the entire Crescent Continent.

After all, when the Human Alliance fought against Demon Gods, they would never complain about having too many powerful allies.

Ridder and Macken were also amazed and happy for Ronin.

As Ronin’s summoned attendants and followers, they had witnessed their master’s step-by-step growth along the way and were filled with pride and admiration.

"Did you break through in both your classes at the same time this time?"

Sophia asked the second question that concerned her.

She had told Ronin before that if a Knight and a Mage reached the Proud Sun Level simultaneously and broke through together, the baptism from the heavens and earth would be stronger than a single-class breakthrough to Legendary.

Between two people who had just stepped into the Legendary Level, one with a single-class breakthrough and one with a dual-class breakthrough, the former would be far inferior to the latter in every aspect.

Ronin nodded. "It was indeed a dual-class breakthrough."

Sophia’s eyes lit up. "Well then, how about we test your strength?"

At her words, Ridder and Macken were also intrigued.

In their past lives, they had seen Legendary individuals. Take Ridder, for example; his teacher was even at the Sage Level.

But opportunities to personally fight against a Legendary were rare.

Ronin readily agreed.

He also wanted to see just how powerful he had become.

"Let’s do it!"

His figure flickered, reappearing a hundred meters away. "I’m confident I can survive your combined attacks, so don’t worry about me. Feel free to use your most powerful offensive techniques!"

"Alright!"

The three focused their minds and prepared to attack.

One Proud Sun Knight, one Magic Master, and one Silver Moon Knight—a lineup like that was top-tier anywhere.

But now, joining forces against Ronin, their hearts were pounding. They didn’t know how effective their strongest combined attacks would be.

Sophia raised her hand and began to channel Magic, starting with the Fire Magic, Flame God’s Roar. She poured in the maximum amount of Spiritual Power and Magic Power, pushing the spell’s intensity to its peak.

Macken let out a great shout. Surging Fighting Qi poured into the ground, shattering it. The shattered clods of earth were then condensed and compressed into sharp pebbles.

He swung his Longsword, and these sharp pebbles, imbued with Fighting Qi, flew like thousands of arrows released from their bows, capable of tearing apart even a body of steel.

The Eighth-level Combat Skill, Sand and Stone Storm, could reduce a person to a pool of blood.

Meanwhile, Ridder had already used the Heaven-Burning Secret Scripture to purify his Fighting Qi. This refined Fighting Qi, combined with the extremely penetrating Heavy Strike Burst Combat Skill, had a single-target attack power greater than Sophia’s and Macken’s moves combined!

Ronin hadn’t learned any Legendary Level Magic or Combat Skills, but when he gripped the Flowing Flame Sword, just like when he had advanced to the Proud Sun Level, the sword gained a new ability—a Combat Skill with super-strong single-target killing power, Vacuum Dimension Slash!

This was a Combat Skill that fused wind and fire, possessing both the speed and sharpness of wind, as well as the scorching heat and explosive properties of fire.

Ronin worried this move would be too powerful, so he didn’t use it. Instead, he once again used the Proud Sun Combat Skill, Celestial Fire Scorched Earth.

Using this Combat Skill at the Legendary Stage was different from before.

Not only had his own Fighting Qi undergone a qualitative leap to become the Extreme Element of Battle, but when he swung his sword, the Fire Elements in the surrounding heaven and earth were instantly mobilized, magnifying the move’s power.

The skills from both sides collided in mid-air. The hazy night was illuminated in an instant, accompanied by a tremendous roar, as if the entire world was shaking!

RUMBLE~

The shockwave transformed into a violent force that struck both sides. Ronin was fine, but the other three were forced to retreat.

During this time, Ronin’s Celestial Fire Scorched Earth had completely suppressed the trio’s combination attack and continued to surge toward them with residual force.

"Danger!"

The three either activated their Fighting Qi Armor, used a Fighting Qi Barrier, or instantly cast defensive Magic. Although they managed to block it without serious injury, they were still blasted several hundred meters away.

After a long moment, the surrounding world gradually quieted down.

At the center of the collision between the Combat Skills and Magic, a massive crater had been left behind. The surrounding ground was also destroyed, the damage extending all the way to their feet.

"So strong! It’s even more powerful than a cannonball!"

Even Ronin couldn’t help but be startled by this scene.

’The power gap between a Legendary and a Proud Sun using the same move is just too immense.’

’With this kind of combat power, forget three Proud Suns, I’m confident I could handle five of them on my own.’

On the other side, the hearts of the three who had blocked the attack were pounding with fear.

Sophia raised a hand to tidy her messy hair. "I’ve seen Extreme Elemental Power many times, but today I’ve experienced its strength firsthand. If Ridder hadn’t helped block part of the aftershock just now, I probably would have been injured."

"Yeah, it’s too strong!" Macken couldn’t help but nod in agreement.

The three crossed the battlefield and came before Ronin, expressing their admiration for his strength.

"My lord, I feel that with your current strength, the two Divine Envoys behind Holy Storm no longer pose a threat to us. Perhaps our future offensives can be a bit more aggressive?"

Ridder suggested, "After all, the longer we drag this out, the more so-called ’believers’ they will gather, allowing them to create more powerful individuals, which is disadvantageous for us."

A desire for battle also shone in Macken’s eyes. Of the three present, he was the only one who hadn’t experienced intense warfare. He felt stifled, unable to unleash his full strength.

"We’ll definitely fight, but there’s no need to be too reckless."

Ronin said, "Judging by the Royal Family’s attitude, it seems we’ll have to shoulder the main burden of the war from now on. But the Knight Order under our command isn’t large enough yet. Expanding our forces is still the top priority."

’Although dragging things out is advantageous for Holy Storm, the same is true for me.’

"Sophia, help me contact Harmon. See if he has a way to get intelligence on Flame Wings’ and Serdil’s strength."

Sophia was startled. "You’re planning a decapitation strike?"

Ronin slowly nodded. "A steady advance is for our army. If there’s an opportunity for a decapitation strike, it could save us from significant losses."

"I’ll contact Harmon. This is what he’s been working on all along, anyway."

Sophia hesitated for a moment before advising, "From my personal experience, Flame Wings’ and Serdil’s strength should be greater than Mephisto’s."

Mephisto was an Eighth-level Mage, which meant Flame Wings and Serdil were very likely at the Proud Sun Level.

It couldn’t even be ruled out that they were Legendary.

"A decapitation strike has its risks!"

Ronin nodded. "I will consider it carefully."

He looked at Macken and said, "Macken, take Sophia back to Mist City first. Ridder, you stay. I need to talk to you about something."
