If Reiger were to assess him, Lancelot could be described as having at least ’Strength’ at the S stage, with ’Agility’ and ’Dexterity’ even higher, breaking through the limits to reach a level comparable to Reiger’s SSS stage.
As for the level of this young female Knight, without doubt, she is Lv.8.
Stronger than Woodworth.
Stronger than Lubedo.
Perhaps even stronger than the Sword Saint Reiger once encountered in the treasury of the Kingdom of Ginas.
The title of the strongest was indeed well-deserved.
Far from feeling apprehensive, Reiger’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
He suddenly cast magic.
This was a magic that could set transparent landmines that would explode upon sensing an enemy, and they could even be placed mid-air.
Thus, as Lancelot, transformed into a white comet, sped towards Reiger and was about to collide with him, she triggered the mine set in the air.
A grand explosion suddenly erupted, whipping up hot winds and fierce flames, enveloping the white comet.
Without a hint of fear, Lancelot extended her arm, and a lightsaber popped out of her bracer. With a sudden slash, she cleaved through the flames wrapping around her.
"[Triple Enhancement·Maximum Enhance·Thunder Strike]!"
Three enormous bolts of lightning descended from the skies, striking Lancelot who had just cleaved through the flames, blasting her away on the spot.
"[Un-chanting Magic·Arc-shaped Beam]!"
Reiger again fired light-beam-like light arrows, piercing through the atmosphere and shooting towards Lancelot.
Spreading her arms, Lancelot soared upwards while being blown backwards, accelerating once again.
"Your magic may be powerful, but let’s not mention the natural resistance I have to magic as a dragon fairy, just my charge alone is something your magic will never catch up to!"
Lancelot shook off the fiery barrage, rendering Reiger’s [Arc-shaped Beam] ineffective.
"That’s not necessarily the case."
As Reiger uttered these words, the failed [Arc-shaped Beam] suddenly changed course, soaring rapidly upwards, chasing after Lancelot.
"A bombardment with homing capabilities...!?"
Lancelot’s expression tensed as she immediately changed direction, shaking off the approaching [Arc-shaped Beam].
But no matter how many times Lancelot dodged the light-arrow-like beam chasing her, it relentlessly continued its pursuit.
"[Holy Rite·Aurora]!"
At that moment, Reiger activated another spell, causing streams of meteor-like flashes to converge behind him, aimed at Lancelot, and blasting her with a overwhelming barrage.
Lancelot smacked her lips, gave up on charging forward, and instead retreated explosively, flying at high speed and zigzagging left and right, darting back and forth to dodge the incoming flashes one after another.
But just like the "Holy Rite·Aurora" and "Un-chanting Magic·Arc-shaped Beam," the attack magics with tracking effects relentlessly pursued Lancelot despite her changes in direction, acceleration, and attempts to shake them off. Every time they missed their mark, they would redirect and sweep back towards her in a relentless chase.
"Can’t shake them off, huh?"
Realizing this, Lancelot instantly sprang out two lightsabers.
"In that case, I’ll destroy them all!"
With this declaration, Lancelot exploded with energy, bursting not only with speed but also power, and swung her blades at the approaching flashes of light.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!"
In an instant, the entire sky echoed with a continuous series of explosions, creating shock waves that rolled back upon themselves.
Lancelot’s hands, wielding the lightsabers, waved them in rapid succession, creating a vast expanse of sword light and an absolute vacuum circle, where all the flashes entering this circle were severed by the lightsabers and exploded on the spot.
"Well then, what about this?"
Reiger extended his hand in Lancelot’s direction.
"Maximum Enhance·Radiant Light!"
"Enhanced·True Darkness!"
"Maximum Enhance·Crimson Nova!"
"Maximum Enhance·Polar Claw!"
Four magic arrays subsequently appeared around Lancelot—one white, one black, one red, one blue—completely encircling her.
Immediately, brilliance surged from the white array, darkness erupted from the black, flames emerged from the red, and from the blue, claws emanating chill air swiped down in unison, striking the surrounded Lancelot with impeccable accuracy.
The quadruple release of high-tier magics, cast by Reiger, who possessed magical abilities like "Magic Conduction" and "Incantation," was unimaginably powerful.
Especially the "Radiant Light" and "Crimson Nova" spells, one of light attribute and the other of fire, both fall under the amplifying effect of the "Daybreak Pioneer," doubling their power. When they hit Lancelot, the damage was undoubtedly immense.
Even the "Polar Claw," a spell with the highest damage among the cold magic category, added to the "True Darkness," a rare dark attribute magic that could directly ignore an enemy’s defenses—if the target had no resistance to the dark element—they would suffer the full brunt of the damage. Barraged by four spells in succession, even Lancelot, the strongest Elf Knight, couldn’t help but let out pained cries.
"This much is nothing...!"
The Dragon Girl roared as she sliced through the brilliance, the darkness, the flames, and the icy claws, bursting forth with even greater speed than before, reaching Reiger’s presence in the blink of an eye.
Reiger’s pupils contracted, and just as he tried to react, the reflexes from his "Swift Assault" ability simply couldn’t keep up with Lancelot at this moment.
The white meteor then heavily slammed into Reiger’s body, once again taking him from high in the sky, plummeting towards the ground.
Before long, the meteor hit the ground, causing a tremendous shockwave in Salisbury that shook the entire district.
