The Naturalism Church and the Dark Knight were bound to have a final battle, the teacher had treated him well, and he couldn’t bring himself to turn his cloak and renounce his allegiance, to reject the light and pledge himself to the Dark Knight as his godfather.
The Dragon-Slayer Sword Technique might just come in handy at the critical moment, under the teacher’s cover, he struck the Dark Knight down with a single sword strike, ensuring a happy ending with everyone rejoicing.
Wayne liked happy endings, he hated tragic ones, and was willing to put in any amount of sweat to avoid them.
A streak of red light flashed in his eyes, and he conjured a Blood Crystal staff in his palm, bumping the disoriented Villi out of the way, and charged straight at the Valkyrie.
The female Knight’s sword movements were slow, focused on teaching swordsmanship, and after a couple of exchanges with Wayne, she pressed down on the staff and asked him why he always held his sword with one hand.
"I keep one hand free for a gun," Wayne replied seriously.
On the side, Villi had an epiphany, expressing that she had learned something new.
The Valkyrie had slept for too long, she was a relic from the previous era, with no concept of firearms, Wayne saw this and took out a handgun from a nearby suitcase to demonstrate right there and then.
He did the huff and puff, gesturing with the staff in one hand, and within seven steps, suddenly raised his hand and shot at the Valkyrie.
The bullet went through the Valkyrie’s translucent head and hit the rock wall behind her, leaving behind a face of astonishment.
"How about that, Knight Teacher, isn’t it impressive?"
"Wayne is so awesome!"
"It’s alright, but I can be even more awesome."
The female Knight became furious, chastising the two Knight Apprentices who were not focusing on their craft, questioning how they could master swordsmanship if their minds were not fully dedicated to it, claiming that handguns and such were heresy, and that a true Mage should use a sword.
Knights, times have changed!
Wayne criticized internally, the Knight Teacher’s methods were outdated, and he boldly predicted that mages of the future would enchant airplanes and cannons, holding anti-material sniper rifles and exchanging fire head-on.
The destructive power of firearms had already surpassed that of Silver Mages, and even Golden Mages couldn’t withstand much of it - clinging to those outdated notions would only result in being crushed by the tide of time.
Thinking this, Wayne began to ruminate on the Dark Knight again, if he were to set a buffet, signal with the shattering of a glass, and ambush with five hundred Gatling gunners, how would the Dark Knight cope?
That would be interesting!
At the port of Dragonheart Island, the Lando Family’s private yacht was docked.
A group of people disembarked from the yacht.
Austin stepped onto Dragonheart Island with a dark expression, flanked by two beauties, both of whom had short golden hair.
A few days ago, Veronica disappeared, and Austin knew where she had gone, the pain in his heart was acute.
Who gives themselves away , even your mother wasn’t so eager back in her day!
Veronica merely followed Wayne to Dragonheart Island, that Austin could still tolerate, but once Ker returned to Lundan and included all the details in his report to the White Glove Association, Austin couldn’t sit still anymore.
Wayne had disappeared too!
Austin could guess what Wayne’s disappearance might entail, even using his toes, and hastily contacted Hefei, taking the fastest ship to Dragonheart Island.
At that moment, all Austin hoped for was that it was not too late, and just like him, the pretty boy was sent flying out of the house with one punch.
As he got off the ship, he glanced at the north side of Dragonheart Island, according to the schedule, the King Kong Crew was filming in the jungle.
It seemed that with the charm of a big star, he had already settled matters on the yacht.
Perfect, with his wife and daughter both present, it was time to expose the pretty boy’s true face.
"Surprise, she was my setup!"
