Legacy of the Dark Sage

Chapter 931 Tying Up Loose Ends (4)

Cyneah's brow furrowed as she sensed the scene below. Like she could not see Kyran's light, the numerous spheres below did not emit light. They were instead covered in boundless darkness.

Soon after, the darkness that covered these spheres was replaced by lights with varying intensity.

It was the varying intensity of lights, as well as their numbers, that caught Cyneah's attention, resulting in furrowing her brows.

"Kyran, how do you plan on dealing with all of them?"

Before Kyran could respond, a mechanical roar reverberated in the air, causing every knight behind him to feel goosebumps up their arms.

This roar was followed by the reveal of what was inside the massive sphere.

Their expressions instantly turned grave after seeing a gigantic automaton emerging from the massive sphere. It tore out of the sphere like a fierce beast unable to contain its thirst for blood.

Kyran's eyes narrowed at what the gigantic automaton did. Though the spheres were only meant to imprison them and possessed no offensive capability, they were still made of Void energy. Kyran had an inkling that the gigantic automaton had a specific immunity to Void energy, but seeing it once more made him wonder how it differed from the other automatons.

Pushing aside his doubts, Kyran raised his hand and aimed at the gigantic automaton. Another oppressive pressure fell upon it from above, resembling an invisible object that weighed several tons.

In an instant, the gigantic automaton was forced on its knees while it raised its hands, trying to support the weight of that invisible object. The ground beneath it cracked as the invisible object continued to press down.

Kyran's move was reminiscent of Dusk's move during their first meeting on the Human plane. Previously, Kyran did not comprehend the spell Dusk used to attack them. He initially believed it had something to do with the nature of Dusk's magic. Still, after a year of wandering in other planes and even joining Loar and Wings to gather resources at times, he discovered that Dusk's move back then was made purely out of his magic pressure. He learned this because Loar and Wings had sometimes employed similar moves using their magic pressures.

Kyran had wanted to try it out, too. Unfortunately, using the Void magic's magic pressure was too dangerous because its target could get turned into nothing if he exerted a tad bit too much Void magic energy. For the Draconic magic, the problem was Kyran's body. He could not take the pressure he released himself— an embarrassing and pitiful reason, to be honest.

After his body had undergone enhancement, however, Kyran did not have to worry about getting crushed by his own magic pressure. Nonetheless, using magic pressure to attack was not advisable. Because it used one's raw, pure energy, resulting in one's magic energy getting depleted faster.

A Sovereign's magic core could store far more energy than those with lower levels. Thus, the danger of them experiencing energy depletion was low. Besides, they only used their magic pressure as a form of intimidation and not to kill.

On the other hand, Kyran used his magic pressure to restrain the gigantic automaton. Because he still had something to do and could not immediately confront it.

"That's... a lost technology?"

"I have heard rumors about mechanical complete beings, but I imagined them to be the same size as us... not like that..."

"How are we going to deal with that enemy?"

Nevertheless, Kyran was not worried. Compared to the Knights, the puppets were made of sturdier material. Though their energy cores had limited magic energy, that would not hinder them from accomplishing their task.

As for what their task was, they only needed to restrain all three to four thousand knights before them.

Alas, this task appeared simple, but to the others, it was a tall order.

By the time Kyran and Cyneah landed on the ground, all the people in the spheres had already been released.

In an instant, the side where the puppets and the Armakea Knights congregated erupted into a fierce melee. The knights summoned their Divine Armaments and attacked the puppets. Some of their attacks were rendered useless, while some did scratch the surface of their body frames. Nonetheless, the puppets were undeterred by the knights' attacks and engaged them fiercely.

On the other side, the gigantic automaton, which Aran controlled, still struggled from Kyran's magic pressure. Meanwhile, Mo and the Legendary-level Knights with him finally escaped from the spheres and prepared to engage the enemies.

Mo's eyes immediately glowed with killing intent as he looked at the figure that stood a few meters before them.

"Filren... you have also fallen, I see," he growled through gritted teeth.

Filren did not reply and looked at Mo and the rest of the Legendary-level Knights.

While Mo appeared pissed and was raring to fight Filren, some of the Legendary-level Knights were a little hesitant.

In the first place, compared with Mo, they found Filren easier to approach and a respectable aide to the King. Of course, all respected Mo, especially with his status as the top aide to the King, but Filren had a certain charisma that made the other knights respect and trust him.

"It is not too late to return to your senses, sir Filren."

One of the Legendary-level Knights tried to talk it out with Filren.

"He had made his choice," Mo growled, not allowing Filren to respond to the Legendary-level Knight's plead.

"Yes, I did. And it is a wise one," Filren replied solemnly.

"Traitor to your King!" Mo snarled, summoning his Divine Armament instantly and cleaving it toward Filren.

Filren remained calm as he watched the approaching blade of Mo's dual-blade battle axe. His green eyes glowed with a tint of silver as he raised his hand and caught its blade.

With Mo's Divine Armament infused with Gravity magic, its force of attraction was ten times more than usual. When Filren caught its blade, a loud boom erupted as its pressure exploded, forcing him to sink a few inches to the ground.
