A Knight's Power has four main attributes, which are external manifestations of their Spiritual Power. While they can all be broadly classified as Knight Power, the characteristics of each attribute are completely distinct.
The Elemental Domain is flexible and versatile. The development of its Special Abilities and Combat Techniques relies on imagination—to construct armaments, alter the environment, and command fundamental principles!
Powerful Elemental Knights can even perform Elementalization on parts of their own flesh, change the weather, and possess immense combat strength.
Knights with the Guardian Barrier Attribute are stalwart and resilient. With integrated offense and defense, they are well-balanced and often form the backbone of the Imperial Mixed Corps, serving as the absolute main force on the front lines.
Like the Special Ability used by Earth Knight Erich, it provides protection and enhancements to nearby allies. In large-scale battles, Guardian Knights are often of strategic value.
The types of Extraordinary Armaments are incredibly diverse.
Reinhardt's Morphic Armor is a living substance that combines speed, defense, and recovery. Knight An Jie's Extraordinary Armament is a rare Energy Wing Suit that grants the ability to briefly hover and move at high speeds.
Karamor, the captain of Squad Three who once fought alongside Reinhardt on the fortress walls, wields a retractable, giant Crossbow of gears and Mechanical Structure. It is a typical Extraordinary Armament for Beyond-Visual-Range Attack, making it first-rate for assassinations. Even in close combat, the range of its Extraordinary Crossbow Arrows provides an overwhelming advantage.
Extraordinary Knights may have fatal weaknesses due to their Special Abilities, but their unique powers are always the most difficult to handle.
Take Reinhardt, the "Friend of the Demon" of Frostfire Fortress, for example.
Morphic Armor is severely lacking in offensive power, but it possesses astonishing speed and defense, and can even restore a small amount of stamina, making it almost a perpetual motion machine in a war of attrition.
But beyond these three attributes of Knight Power, there is the Destruction Force Field—a Power that completely forsakes defense, with all its Special Abilities born solely for battle and slaughter.
It is also the only type of Knight Power where the number of awakened Special Abilities is not directly related to one's overall strength!
In the hands of a true Body Technique Powerhouse, a sufficiently strong Physique is all that's needed to fuel their Knight Power. Even a Destruction Force Field with no Special Abilities can unleash terrifying combat power!
The Fear Knight confronting Reinhardt—the powerful aura erupting from him was a Destruction Force Field! Moreover, it was a Power with no Special Abilities, just like Friedrich's!
The vast Northern Wilderness.
Dark purple and crimson clashed and parted, joints colliding! Brutal, bone-crushing blows!
The friction of their Powers whipped up a howling gale!
Reinhardt's Extraordinary Armament, the Morphic Armor, had Special Abilities covering speed, defense, and recovery. Among Two-star Military Rank Knights, if it were merely a contest of the quantity and strength of Special Abilities, few could be his match.
But now, facing this Fear Knight from the Abyss, this wielder of the Destruction Force Field, the immense pressure was like a mountain crashing down on him from the very first exchange!
Empowered by the Destruction Force Field, the Fear Knight's speed was not only a clear step above his, but every one of Reinhardt's movements—every attack and dodge—was completely anticipated by the Fear Knight!
This wasn't just a one-sided suppression born of combat experience; it was the most terrifying aspect of a Body Technique Knight! When one's Special Abilities and Power Level aren't enough to completely overwhelm them, the advantages of the Body Technique Stream are magnified infinitely!
From the Abyss Faction, any Knight qualified to don the red robes and bear the title of "Fear" is a veteran of a hundred years, without exception!
They are the past champions of the Slaughter Death Arena!
This nameless Fear Knight before him—it was, without a doubt, the strongest and most terrifying enemy Reinhardt had ever encountered in his life. Bar none.
Even the pressure he'd felt from Vice Commander Erich couldn't compare to this Red-robed Knight!
Compared to it, Reinhardt—who had awakened his Knight Power less than a week ago—was like a newborn baby. The fact that he could rely on Body Techniques to survive for ten breaths of time was a feat to be proud of!
Out on the wilderness, the Convicted Demons that had chased them from the fortress were like uncaged beasts, unleashing their savagery and cruelty!
Every training camp apprentice they caught died a violent death on the spot.
But as they tried to rush past to seize Robie and Ober, intending to declare a savage victory with the boys' blood and death, they ran headlong into the terrifying aftershocks of the battle between Reinhardt and the Fear Knight. The Convicted Demons froze as if struck by lightning, not daring to advance another step.
Abyssal Creatures, though cruel and merciless, are intelligent lifeforms with their own languages and unique social structures.
Convicted Demons worship violence; in their world, the strong rule as kings! Only overwhelming martial power can make them submit.
And so, at that moment, a bizarre scene began to unfold on the perennially desolate Northern Wilderness.
The Convicted Demons—over three meters tall, with dark scales and physiques like iron towers—gathered in an open space two hundred meters from Robie and Ober. It was as if an invisible barrier stood before them, and they dared not take another step.
In their line of sight, two half-grown boys knelt beside a corpse. Fine snow drifted down on them, melting and vanishing. The emotions of fear and pain were delicious and tempting.
Not far from them, the aura of Power erupting from the dark purple and crimson figures was thick with the bloody stench of slaughter and madness.
Few Knights could ever leave a deep impression on these Tier Two Demons from the Abyss.
