Chapter 1030 Among Sacred Knights

Michael had considered adding more Soultrait Symbols to his arsenal but was against it. There was no logical reason not to add anymore Soultraits since his Energy Vortex had expanded drastically after his High Ascension. Other than that, Michael could hunt many more enemies with another 6-Star or higher Soultrait. The energy increase from an additional Soultrait Symbol would be rebalanced by the increase in enemies hunted due to the extra Soultrait.

Still, Michael didn't do it. Why? Because he liked the challenge.

His main body didn't have many challenges left, and the number would dwindle even further once his training period was over. It was a fact which annoyed Michael only a little. Being incredibly powerful was great and all, but having a hard time defeating your opponent was also enticing. Michael couldn't help but feel like he would miss out on something grand if he inserted more Soultraits into his Soul Sphere this soon. Maybe it would help him in the future, but Michael was unwilling to rush into anything with his secondary body. He wanted to enjoy his life. At least the secondary body should enjoy everything while the main body continues working tirelessly. At the end of the day, that kind of mindset would help both the main body and the secondary body stay mentally and physically fit. The secondary body would cause the mental health package, whereas the main body would overflow with great power.

Michael wielded the Mythical Spear and thrust it into the neck of a Lesser Lifeform. The Tekur collapsed before him and was trampled to death before the gaping hole in its throat could end its life. The Tekur charged at Michael and his people, but a massive wall of Holy Power quickly blocked them.

The Sacred Knights beside Michael raised their shields and cast Holy Guardian, a holy technique that created an invisible shield that stopped all rapidly charging enemies. The Tekur in the invisible shield – it could still be penetrated as long as you moved slowly – were slowed down, thus blocking the advances of the Tekur behind.

Some tried flying across the battlefield, but Holy Guardian also affected the enemies high in the air. The Tekur slowed down, granting the Sacred Knights and their comrades enough time to slash and stab the Tekur before them.

"There might be more enemies, but the Sacred Knight Temple will prevail and succeed!" Siegfried roared, brandishing his massive broadsword to simultaneously cleave through several Tekur, including two Higher Lifeforms. Michael raised one eyebrow but moved forward as well. Greater Psychokinesis worked well in the Holy Guardian shield. It disrupted the Sacred Knights, forcing them to concentrate more and maybe use some more Holy Power to maintain Holy Guardian, but the damage caused by the pointed Void Scales and Greater Psychokinesis were worth the additional consumption.

The Tekur screeched loudly, but Michael didn't care. He circulated Soullife Energy through his body and triggered Foundation Break. The technique was dangerous for most Higher Lifeforms, but Michael didn't mind the dangers since he had already attained perfect mastery of the technique with his main body. Foundation Break wouldn't kill him after all if he didn't make a mistake.

His speed increased drastically, and he accelerated suddenly. His top speed was enough to unleash a flurry of devastating thrusts further augmented by the [Thrust] enchantment on the Mythical Spear.

He killed six Tekur in the mass before they could retaliate. Poisonous green mist conjured before Michael as one of the Tekur Awakened used his Soultrait, but Michael ignored it. He smiled as Siegfried used Purification, another Holy technique of the Sacred Knight Temple. It drained a considerable amount of Holy Power from Siegfried, but the poisonous green mist was no more dangerous, even before it could cause any harm.

"Thanks," Michael said lightly before turning away as he saw something from the corner of his eyes. Fueled with enough energy to kill a Higher Lifeform, a glist of light came their way at high velocity. It was too high to be blocked easily.

"Wall!" Michael bellowed, and the Sacred Knights moved instinctively. They stopped their attacks and unleashed the Holy Shield technique, which expanded their shields, which were tuned to holy power, and drastically increased their defenses.

They stopped fighting and jumped into full defense without any hesitation.

A moment later, a spear of light impacted hard on a Sacred Knight's shield, piercing the Holy Shield and their shield before dispersing right after.

"That was a close one."
