He was still chanting.

"[The relentless sun of the sky, all flee from thy presence]."

"[Burst forth, armor of the laurel tree]."

"[Lamu]."

A green luminescent film shimmered on Reiger’s body.

"[Acceleration]."

"[High-level agility enhancement]."

"[High-level wind attribute enhancement]."

Bursts of magic power flickered incessantly on Reiger’s body.

At this moment, every magic he chanted was related to speed.

Because he did not use Sun Breathing, Reiger no longer had to consider conflicts of magic power and could unreservedly chant various enhancement and buffing magics, letting the brilliance of magic power form a dazzling, resplendent film around him.

Before long, the Origin Ring he wore on his hand was also activated, increasing his strength, making his "strength," "endurance," "dexterity," "agility," and other close combat capabilities all enhanced.

Seeing the increasing magic light on Reiger’s body and the increasingly dangerous aura he emitted, Gawain could not sit still any longer.

"Reiger Brillhaut!"

The Elf Knight shouted loudly, raising his fiery greatsword and swinging it down decisively toward Reiger in front of him.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a tremendous torrent of flames swept out like a tsunami, rushing towards Reiger.

Wherever the torrent of flame passed, the ground either shattered or burned into a charred expanse.

The temperature in the air skyrocketed rapidly, causing the atmosphere to distort, wavering with heat waves, appearing somewhat illusory.

Meanwhile, Reiger was still chanting magic.

"[Gather, breath of the earth—I am called Alf]."

This was a supplemental defensive magic taught by Revilia herself, capable of enhancing resistance to both physical and magical properties, and also slightly healing bodily injuries—[Life-bound Illusion].

"[Oh spirits of the wood—realize my wish]."

"[Garment of the forest—I am called Alf]."

This defensive magic could resist all attacks—[Thin Veil Breath]."

Reiger used these two magics not only on himself but also on Altoria beside him.

By the time two layers of luminescent cloth appeared on them, Reiger had already stomped on the ground, propelling his body forward like a shot.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a deafening blast, Reiger not only shattered the ground beneath his feet but also stirred up a ring of shockwaves, carrying roaring air, like a rocket launched forward!

The torrent of flames engulfed Reiger but was quickly scattered by the storm swirling around him, making Reiger seem like an arrow of wind, piercing through the waves of fire, parting the flames and dashing up to Gawain!

"Clang!"

Gawain barely had time to react before his armor echoed with the sound of metal clashing.

The thin, cicada-wing blade struck Gawain, sparking intense sparks on the armor and sending Gawain flying.

"So fast...!"

Gawain’s pupils constricted sharply, his body hit the corridor wall, shattering it.

"Wind Breathing·Second Form·Claw·Kohu Wind!"

At that moment, Reiger appeared in front of Gawain, his long sword swung in a motion that sliced towards Gawain, unleashing four claw-shaped Wind Blades.

The Wind Blades, while splitting the floor, also tore through the air, like a wind that dispels all stains and grievances, neatly slicing through Gawain’s field of view.

"...!"

Gawain’s face paled, and in a desperate roll to the side, he avoided the incoming four Wind Blades.

"Bang!"

The explosive noise roared as the wall, shattered by Gawain, was also struck by the four Wind Blades, bursting apart like shattered rocks.

"Haahhh!"

Rolling to one side and dodging the strike, Gawain immediately raised both hands, shooting out chains that intertwined and spiraled towards Reiger.

"Wind Breathing·Third Form·Clear Mist Wind Tree!"

Reiger’s thin, cicada-wing sword slashed again, centering on himself, instantly unleashing three spiral Wind Blades.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"...

The spiral Wind Blades clashed with the incoming storm of chains, creating intense conflicts and causing the sounds of metal striking to echo incessantly.

"Bang!"

Blocking the chain attack, Reiger stomped the ground again, charging forward amidst the blast noise.

"Wind Breathing·First Form·Dust Tornado·Slicing!"

Reiger’s high-speed charge made spiral Wind Blades appear behind him as well, like a tornado enveloping him, as Reiger sliced through the ground, broke the sound barrier, and his long sword, carrying a powerful wave-like stream of air, sliced towards Gawain.

"Puchi!"

The wind-enhanced blade effortlessly broke through Gawain’s defense, leaving a sword wound on his body.

"Puchi!" "Puchi!" "Puchi!" "Puchi!"...

Before Gawain could react, Reiger turned into a whirlwind, spiraling around him, stirring the air, stirring the currents, repeatedly hacking at Gawain, instantly tearing him apart, blood splattering.

"Ugh...aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!"

Only then did Gawain feel intense pain, letting out an extraordinarily loud scream, his eyes also blazing with fire and blood, like a wounded, out-of-control beast, recklessly swinging his greatsword at Reiger.

"Clang!!!"

The sound of their clash soared directly into the sky, echoing through the entire palace.
