CHAPTER 521: CHAPTER 472: OVER-INTERPRETATION EVERYWHERE

Whoosh——

Both are Great Knights, but due to different paths and inclinations, Anita, shrouded in a layer of jade-colored glow, sprinted swiftly across the water surface, far more at ease than the former "Steel Knight."

Each time she lifted her foot, waves automatically surged to her soles; the seawater was not an obstacle but rather an excellent aid.

She had just launched several magic-like abilities:

[Jade Dragon Vein] passive ability: Bathed in the constitution of Sea Dragon Blood, experiencing a fundamental change; ordinary swords find it hard to harm, with enduring stamina and infinite strength.

[Steel Wrist] active ability: After complete liberation of the flesh, the arm strength amplifies again by 100%.

[Swift Run] active ability: Speed and reaction capability amplify by 60%, walking speed on water amplifies by 100%.

Having gone through several Extraordinary transformations, the perfect contoured body of Anita seemed truly to hide a Dragon Vein Demon. With these formidable abilities, she was about to sweep away the two Wizards daring to speak ill of Aiven!

Facing this impressively dominant Female Knight charging the fleet single-handedly, Bald Wizard Harvey’s face involuntarily changed slightly; he had clearly heard the previous conversation.

The "Curse School" had its stronghold in the southern part of the New Continent, in the Chaotic Territory Cabral. Not far southeast, after setting sail, was the Mist Sea waters.

As a Wizard, he naturally had no interest in the normal promotion of a Great Knight, but when "Jade Light" bathed in Dragon Blood to promote to a Great Knight, it nearly became a legendary story; even the ordinarily oblivious Bald Wizard had heard of it.

And such a phenomenally legendary Female Knight had joined the "Dragon Cavalry Pirate Gang," even residing below the White Knight.

So what strength does the White Knight commander wield exactly? Could he be weaker than this woman? Is he experienced or at the peak? So why did he let Billiver go back then? There must be a deep meaning behind...

Bald Wizard’s mind swayed, thoughts irresistibly over-interpreted.

"Teacher!"

The young wizard Tarren next to him couldn’t help but shout.

Bald Wizard Harvey, finally coming to his senses, realized that a Great Knight must not charge onto the ship. They needed to complete the strategic retreat before that "unfathomable" White Knight appeared.

Hence, he quickly gave his command:

"Load, fire!"

The entire fleet’s original formation was to encircle Hatrafa Port and block the sea and land. Hastily, they couldn’t change formation, only the flagship targeted by Anita could engage.

On the warship’s cannon decks, a group of vacant-eyed men in black began crew gun operations like machines, with over a hundred Cannoneer’s movements uniform like an assembly line, yet causing an inexplicable dread.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!...

Not knowing what sort of witchcraft materials were added to the gunpowder, the shining cannon flames emitted a cold blue-green.

However, using cannons to stall a "Steel Knight" without agility specialization may work, but for Anita, who specializes in both strength and agility, it yielded almost no effect.

Bald Wizard quickly realized this, uttering softly towards his side:

"Billiver!"

Beside him stood a figure with a gleaming metallic head, all metal structure above the nose, and eyes glowing red, expanding and contracting like telescopes.

Without any clothing, the bronze-like body shimmered, with metallic spine visible, even the sound of his body’s tightly wound gears could be heard.

This was the strongest mercenary, the Clockwork Man, seemingly restored after a fierce battle with Aiven.

Yet, he seemed unlike his previously sarcastic demeanor, now silent as gold, without a word.

Bald Wizard knew best, although the mind of this cyborg remained, its personality had been "formatted," hardened and cold like a ruthless killing machine.

Whether due to nearly having his brain sliced open by Aiven’s sword or his creator’s new evil alchemical ideas, it was indeed a tragedy for him personally.

However, it didn’t hinder his inner desire for vengeance for that sword strike.

Hiss——

The silver metallic box he had been carrying fell onto the deck. Amidst rising white steam, countless gears meshed and rotated, and the metal box began breaking down and transforming with clicks.

Stepping onto the box, flesh and metal plugs extended along the crevices in his body, and within a few breaths, the box transformed into a pair of giant silver wings.

Inside the clockwork man, cold mechanical sounds like a music box emitted.

"Ka, mode switch, Eagle."

With a flap of the wings, he soared up like a large bird of prey, effortlessly crossing the artillery fire net woven by the battleship, circling mid-air arriving above Anita, who charged rapidly.

Face as cold as stone, the shoulder-mounted twin barrels both began spewing flames.

Bam! Bam! Bam!...

The rapid-fire scorching bullets snapped like fiery whips toward the Female Knight.

Although not reaching the level of an Alchemy Firearm, they were far stronger than common firearms. Limited by the Material World’s technical level, where Aiven could create electromagnetic cannons via witchcraft, evidently others could breakthrough in different places.

Even facing such "abnormal" firearm attacks, Anita only slowed her steps, dodging while continuously deflecting the fired bullets with her sword.

Taking advantage of this opportunity.
