"...all of this still could affect your body." said Axel from the backline.
Seeing that Ian and the others can handle the invincible holy knight, Otebon and the Sur knights focus on the other assailants with war drums. Although the War God Temple holy knights have broken invincible skills, it doesn't mean they are unbeatable.
In fact, divine skill only gives them invincible bodies, not strength. In other words, they only resist damage and become good punching bags for some battle maniacs.
Moreover, high-elemental magic could still affect and restrict them. Some even said the best way to deal with these people is to bury them alive or use high-concentration poison. There are various ways to deal with their invincible divine skill.
The Dark Matter mist could also heavily restrict this invincible holy knight. It may not fully cancel the invincible divine skill. But, it will continuously deplete the holy knight's divine energy.
Divine energy is very hard to cultivate. It can only be gotten from God. Hence, each high-rank priest or holy knight has very limited divine energy. Once it is used up, they can't regenerate it like mana or chi energy unless bestowed by their God.
Ian and the others also know about this weakness. Combined with the holy knight's great pride and arrogance, they provoke this knight through direct confrontation.
"Tch... What a fool?" chimed the other assailant with a war drum.
Unlike his partner, who is brash and likes direct confrontation, he does not face the Heart Kingdom's knights directly and keeps his distance from everyone.
He deflects the Extermination knight's Fire Spear attack and encirclement using his war drum's indestructible characteristic. *Thumb* *Thumb* *Thumb* *ROARR* Occasionally, the assailant knocked the wardrum and created an invisible wave towards the surrounding area.
With each wave, more knights suddenly transform into abomination monsters. This transformation affects not only the reinforcement knight but also the few Sur knights.
"Bastard!! Stop this at once!!" roared Otebon in anger.
Otebon rushed forward toward the assailant with his flaming spear [Spear Art - Flare Torch]. *SWISHHH* *BOOOM* an intense explosion erupted in the area.
"My... My... Why so serious?" said the assailant unscathed.
A thin white divine energy covers the assailant and protects him from harm.
"Invincible skill?!! Throw the bomb!!" ordered Otebon.
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* Soon, Dark Matter mist also covers the area. However, the assailant was also not stupid and tried to leave the mist area.
'Crazy!! Just how many of them have brought the Dark Matter? Did they have unlimited Dark Matter?!!' thought the assailant while trying to get away from the area.
Unbeknownst to him, the Heart Kingdom has recently gained much access to Dark Matter. Just as he got away from the area, lightning flashed before him and hit him back into the mist area.
Just as the situation became a stalemate and more chaotic, the heavy storm got stronger and harsher. Fortunately, Axel could control the entire area's wind. Otherwise, the Dark Matter mist may be gone as soon as it appears.
Unbeknownst to everyone, an unknown cloaked person walking slowly approached their location. The person looking at the harsh storm solemnly.
"Tch... Tch... The twin seemed not to want to see me, and it had already passed the time for me. *Sigh* If it was not for the turn of those lazy bums, I would have returned long ago. Hmm.... A battle?" said the cloaked person.
With a swift movement, the cloaked person suddenly jumped a few dozen meters away, dodging every lightning bolt that seemed to be targeting him.
In the meantime, the battle against the War God Temple is becoming more chaotic. The transformed monster starts to become an unstoppable force and disturbs the whole battlefield.
Only a powerful all–out attack could damage them. However, such an attack would render any elite knight in a mana deficiency state and useless for the rest of the battle. None of the knights dare to use such an attack decisively in this chaotic situation.
They could only restrict them with Millie [Soul Chain] 's help. Even then, Millie also couldn't cast this type of skill endlessly. Otebon and Isvel also noticed this situation and couldn't think of a solution.
The best they could do is restrict or lure the transformed monster away from the others. At this moment, the cloaked person arrives at the chaotic battlefield and observes the situation for a moment.
At once, the person could see the true nature of the transformed monster who wreaked havoc on the battlefield. Looking at the abomination transformed monster, resentment and fury are deeply etched on the person's heart.
"HMPHH.... How dare you create such an abomination!!" the cloaked person furiously grumped.
*THUMB* At once, the cloaked person hit the ground with its wooden staff [Ancient Magic - Infinite Star]. Suddenly, the stormy area stopped, turning into a dark space filled with stars. They could feel the weightless gravity but couldn't move their bodies.
Everyone feels like they are inside the infinite space in the sky. Without wasting any moment, the cloaked person chanted in an unknown language while rotating its wooden staff. Various complex magic circles appeared in front of him and the whole area.
'Another one?!' thought Otebon warily.
"Wait... He is..." muttered Isvel.
At this moment, the cloaked person reveals himself as a goatman. However, the beastman goat race has a mysterious feeling and unique starry eyes.
His pitch-black eyes have a bright starry pupil in the middle of them as if they contained the stars themselves. This creates an enchanting yet dreary feeling for those staring at it.
"Star above.. Star below... [Ancient Magic - Nature Cycle]" muttered the goatman.
A giant, complex magic circle appeared below everyone and covered the whole area. Then, the whole area was covered with bright light before diminishing. The next moment, the transformed monster dispersed into dust without a trace.
Seeing this, the assailant holding the wardrum frantically hits his drum, but no other knight is transformed, not even those reinforcement knights in the distance. Noticing their chance, Otebon and Isvel immediately order their knight to focus on subduing the two War God Temple.
