Chapter 1328
Face Divine Punishment
“Yes.”
A deep, hoarse voice echoed from the void.
It was like a middle-aged Brave, a former Savior who had once saved the World.
Now, he was extremely weary, yet he had no choice but to draw his sword.
“Don Quixote, fighting for you.”
Although the voice was as light as a murmur, like telling a story to a child, the moment he spoke, it completely obscured the roar of the cannon fire and explosions.
In an instant, the entire world fell into a strange silence.
A man in a grey-white robe, with a tall and straight posture but appearing somewhat thin, materialized before Eivass.
As Don Quixote appeared, he instantly drew the Long Sword from his waist.
As he slowly raised his Long Sword above his head, the missiles, bullets, arrows flying in the air, and even the giant axe of the giant statues all gradually came to a halt.
As if the hour hand of a clock was slowly pointing to twelve.
It was as if time had frozen—
—
The next moment, Don Quixote slashed his Long Sword downwards.
With a flash of sword light, all projectiles in the air, all that had a trajectory, were uniformly split in half from top to bottom, vertically!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The moment the silence ended, continuous explosions resounded through the sky.
It was like fireworks going off during New Year’s Eve.
As ultimate silence turned into ultimate movement, countless fiery blooms appeared, like flowers slowly opening.
“…Hmph.”
Don Quixote sneered, his gaze sharpening.
He turned into a grey-white light, leaving behind afterimages, meandering through all the armored giant statues—but just then, Don Quixote’s figure suddenly stopped.
At this moment, numerous transparent chains had emerged from within these giant statues that he had pierced.
Their texture was like transparent little silver fish, with one thin golden thread like a strand of hair. The moment Don Quixote pierced them, it had already clung to him.
It was precisely because of the entanglement of these chains that Don Quixote’s warp was halted. It was as if he was covered in a sturdy spider web,
And a Knight still charging forward.
—If one looked closely, they were all inscribed with the Oath of [Anti-Summon]!
This was the power from the Path of Balance, its essence being the soul chains used by the former Anxi Slave Knights when capturing slaves.
And these Goblins had clearly obtained information from Eivass—they knew that Eivass’s main combat ability came from summoning, so they had specifically forged these chains inside these golems.
Their purpose was to bind Eivass’s summoned entities!
“…You don’t think this kind of thing can trap me, do you?”
Don Quixote was somewhat annoyed.
This man, who had awakened from the dream called Knight of the Round Table, unleashed his full power for the first time.
“Face—Divine Punishment!”
With a flash of sword light—these specialized chains, capable of suppressing all summoned entities, couldn’t even withstand a single blow before being completely severed!
Because their priority was lower than Don Quixote, who had now merged with the Heavenly Envoy Fragment, this suppressive power simply failed to take effect!
Don Quixote suddenly turned and swung his Long Sword.
As the grey-white sword light left his body, it instantly expanded hundreds of times—the tropical forest was instantly shattered like weeds caught in a weed wacker, mountains were cut in half, and rivers exploded.
The traps and landmines laid on the ground were all triggered, along with the metal fortresses on the road, all of which were shattered!
It was just one sword strike.
The sword light didn’t just flash and disappear; it lingered in place for several seconds like mercury. The mountain that was cut in half was as if it had been gnawed bit by bit, completely annihilated section by section!
From him all the way to fifteen kilometers away, the area was directly dissolved by this sword light, leaving behind only a patch of void-like, yellowish-brown land!
This was no longer a level that pure Swordsmanship could achieve—this was a sword strike that involved the Authority of a Heavenly Envoy.
However, facing enemies of this caliber, the Goblins seemed to have made preparations long ago.
They not only did not retreat, but launched an unprecedented fierce attack on Eivass!
Countless artillery fire continued to roar and explode—physical attacks relentlessly struck Eivass, causing the transparent barrier around him to vibrate violently, shaking Eivass inside as well. It felt like the recoil when firing a rifle.
The earth cracked, and numerous strange missiles flew—they did not attempt to use high temperature or burning to harm Eivass, but instead shed their shells in mid-air and accelerated, like rockets, shooting out incredibly heavy lead arrows from within.
Those slender armor-piercing rounds also had lead warheads.
After all, lead was the magnificent metal closest to gold among the seven metals of Extraordinary Power; it possessed a weak demon-breaking property.
The reason for not using heavier, harder gold was not because the Goblins could not afford it, but because gold was the “metal of the Sun.” Arrows of gold, symbolizing the Sun, used against Eivass, could not kill him at all.
Concurrently, lead was the most lowly metal among the seven metals of Alchemy, symbolizing the end of human life due to aging, and also symbolizing the coming winter of death.
Only pure mass could shoot down this flying bird!
And only the winter of death could completely bury the Sun!
Crack.
Finally, under the continuous bombardment, Eivass’s shield outside his body finally showed a slight crackling line.
And at this moment, a giant statue, seemingly missed by Don Quixote, finally got its chance.
It raised its enormous spear high and, like a fisherman forcefully gouging ice, thrust towards the crack in Eivass’s shield!
Once, twice, three times!
With each thrust, the crack widened—after all, the shield was mainly used to defend against piercing attacks, and its defensive power was greatly reduced when facing attacks mixed with slashing and blunt force.
However, Eivass, standing within the barrier, showed no expression.
Eivass’s composure and calmness even made the Goblins watching from afar somewhat fearful.
Yet, the more this was the case, the more frantic they became. “Kill him! Kill him!”
“Continue! Mobilize more firepower—”
The Goblins hiding in the distance shouted, spittle flying.
Their faces were contorted, their fingers trembling. More than excitement, it was akin to fear.
There were no shortage of Fifth Tier powerhouses among them, but none were willing to appear before Eivass—compared to facing danger themselves, spending money was more practical.
If they couldn’t win—
Then flee quickly!
They could flee; they were already separated from Eivass by the entire Southern Continent.
Yes, they had set up battle formations on the northeast side of the Southern Continent, while they themselves hid in the southwest corner.
If the front line was defeated, they planned to directly board ships and escape!
The Goblins, who should have been powerhouses and great merchants, were crowded in front of the cameras.
Under their eager gazes, the barrier on Eivass’s body finally completely shattered!
In the next moment, the storms of iron and fire completely engulfed Eivass!
