Magic Industrial Age

Talon, the Raptor's Claw, a fourth-tier rogue, awakened wind-based Battle Qi. He excelled at controlling wind, flying, and mimicking the soul of a golden eagle. His speed was unmatched, and his combat prowess was considerable.

He was the first fourth-tier expert Duke Avra had invited. Upon his appearance, he was enveloped in azure Battle Qi, transforming into a soaring eagle.

With each flap of his wings, endless gales followed, leaving a straight trail in the wake of the churning clouds.

From his vantage point in the sky, he took in the entire battlefield. Though somewhat surprised by the bravery and strength of the two individuals, he didn't hesitate for a moment!

Screech!

With a long cry, he descended from the sky. Before he even arrived, a giant eagle claw composed of azure Battle Qi had already swung down.

A whirlwind surrounded it, and the air shrieked in a series of piercing sounds.

The Oath Knight's face grew increasingly grim, not daring to underestimate the attack.

He once again used the 'War Stomp' skill, forcing Loye and Oliveira away. Then, he flung a blade of Battle Qi to collide with the eagle claw.

Of course, Oliveira and Loye had no intention of prolonging the fight, let alone trying to keep the Oath Knight there. Almost as soon as they caught their breath, they immediately fled.

They were incredibly fast, but after crossing the thousand-meter mark, they almost simultaneously stumbled and fell to the ground.

In true close combat, on the line between life and death, their minds were highly focused, and adrenaline was produced as if it cost nothing.

At that moment, they were naturally powerful, but when the crisis passed and their minds relaxed, the various injuries struck, and they couldn't hold on.

God's Sigh - Giant Beast Heartbeat automatically deactivated, Battle Qi receded, and their momentum plummeted.

At this moment, Loye lay on the ground, not wanting to move even a finger.

But when he turned his head and met Oliveira's gaze, he couldn't stop the smile on his face.

Oliveira was more reserved, merely looking relaxed, but Loye was even more unrestrained and jubilant.

He roared, almost using all his strength: "Hahahaha, I survived, I survived!"

"That Oath Knight, I didn't die, I didn't die! In the future, your days will definitely not be easy."

"I don't care who you are, what background you have, or whose orders you follow. All I know is that we have a feud now!"

"If there's a chance in the future, we will fight to the death!"

"Cough cough cough cough..."

His voice wasn't loud, and towards the end, he even choked and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He didn't actually intend to say it to the Oath Knight, but to himself, to strengthen his resolve.

However, the Oath Knight seemed to have truly heard him.

The knight's greatsword in his hand didn't stop swinging, and various Battle Qi skills were used one after another, constantly fighting with Talon, the Raptor's Claw.

But his gaze crossed the thousand-meter distance, locking onto Loye and Oliveira.

At one point, his expression changed.

The previous composure was gone, replaced by some unwillingness, some hesitation, some ruthlessness, and some determination.

He actually knew better than anyone the strength of Loye and Oliveira. These two, being able to entangle with him for so long, showed potential far exceeding their tier.

If, if they really could step into the fourth tier, today's pursuit would likely bring endless trouble.

So, some things couldn't wait!

Thinking this, the Oath Knight took another long breath, seemingly swallowing all the surrounding air into his body.

Then, his Battle Qi bloomed outwards as if it cost nothing.

The crystalline, jade-like, earth-yellow Battle Qi armor enveloped him again, and even more vast Battle Qi continued to spread outwards, like a giant stone thrown into the water, creating tidal ripples.

Layer upon layer, forming an extremely strong Battle Qi defense field.

This method of using Battle Qi was obviously extremely draining, even to the point that even a fourth-tier expert couldn't sustain it for too long.

Fourth-tier combatants, although each of their Battle Qi was exceptionally thick and the total amount was very exaggerated, it was never inexhaustible.

What's more, he had consumed energy in the pursuit of Oliveira, as well as in the subsequent battle.

Now, facing Talon, the Raptor's Claw, who was also a fourth-tier rogue, he shouldn't have used it like this, but he did.

At this moment, he had raised his defense to the strongest level.

Earth-based combatants possessed the power to communicate with the earth, and the Oath Knight was even more focused on 'guarding'. The strength of their defense was evident.

At this moment, he was relying on his powerful defense to cope with the attacks of Talon, the Raptor's Claw.

Then, he walked step by step towards Loye and Oliveira!

The resolute killing intent was something everyone could feel!

Talon, the Raptor's Claw, also felt angry. If he let the other party kill people in front of him, he would lose a lot of face.

He no longer hesitated, immediately stirring up a huge gale, turning it into a raging azure tornado, constantly colliding with the earth-yellow Battle Qi.

If viewed from a high altitude at this time, the fourth-tier battle felt like a collision between the earth and the wind, like two small natural disasters fighting.

The third tier was for transcendence, while fourth-tier experts had the title of mobile natural disasters.

But no matter how sharp Talon, the Raptor's Claw's attacks were, the Oath Knight still didn't stop his steps.

Although his speed was slower, and although injuries appeared from time to time, he still came step by step towards where Loye was.

The determination of his killing intent was evident.

But at this moment, Loye still looked very calm. He swayed and stood up, just looking at the Oath Knight, the expression on his face didn't change at all.

Even the look of sarcasm was even stronger!

But just as this person was constantly approaching, another roar came, like a giant roaring, bringing a burst of air distortion.

Behind Loye, it was as if a cannonball was coming straight over, crashing down.

Everyone could see that in mid-air, the 'cannonball' stretched its body, turning into a small giant nearly three meters tall.

He wasn't wearing armor, but animal skin. When he stretched his body, his muscles were knotted, and the pure power that burst out almost overflowed.

This was the second fourth-tier expert Duke Avra had invited, the half-giant Bane, a professional fighter.

That's right, he and the deceased Sir Dorji Petrovic were the same profession. They didn't practice Battle Qi, but only cultivated the Qi of a monk, and because there was giant blood in their body, their strength was exaggerated.

Of course, if you thought he was only good at strength, then he would use various joint techniques, throwing techniques, and ground techniques to beat you until you couldn't find north.

This one naturally didn't need weapons, but he just jumped down from mid-air, raising his huge fist and slamming it down.

At this moment, the Oath Knight no longer dared to move forward, but squatted down, accumulating strength to meet the impact.

Bang!

With a loud noise, the shock wave suddenly rippled outward, stirring up huge dust.

But before it ended, another series of collision sounds came, like continuous thunder, and a more violent shock wave spread outward.

Circle after circle, without end!

Loye was still standing, although his eyes were narrowed, but he was still standing straight.

This was not his own ability, but a magical defense force field appeared in front of him. The transparent force field was hit by the shock wave, creating layers of wavy patterns.

Fortunately, one layer could be rebuilt after it was broken, with a full five or six layers surrounding it.

Behind him, Mage Parr Paul stared at him, and couldn't help complaining.

"I said, Young Master, Young Master Loye, can we not be so reckless?"

"You're already like this, why do you have to provoke a fourth-tier expert?"

"Wouldn't it be better for us to send him away peacefully?"

Loye said: "This feud has already been formed, and face must not be lost no matter what!"

"Is face important, or is life important??"

"Of course face is important, and life is also important. Don't worry, we won't die now!"

While speaking, a figure flew out from the center of the collision.

Like a bowling ball being knocked away, it drew an arc and smashed onto the earth.

When the dust cleared, the person climbed up, and it was the Oath Knight.

Although he was still holding the knight's greatsword, the disheveled appearance of being covered in dirt could not be concealed.

The half-giant Bane strode closer, each step sounding like a mountain moving, rumbling.

His leader, Talon, the Raptor's Claw, stirred up an azure hurricane, circling endlessly.

Talon was a silent person who didn't like to talk, but the half-giant Bane wasn't!

He looked at the Oath Knight, grinning, his smile full of fighting spirit: "Since we are here, then what you want to do is destined to fail."

"So, aren't you going to escape?"

"Escape quickly, you still have a chance to live, otherwise if we catch you, it will be worse than death!"

The Oath Knight tilted his head slightly, looking at Loye through the two fourth-tiers.

The unwillingness in his eyes almost overflowed, but in the end, he turned his body, and the earth turned into water waves, dragging him away quickly.

Of course, the two fourth-tiers who came to support would naturally not let him retreat so easily.

One stirred up a gale, turning it into countless azure Battle Qi blades, cutting away.

One held his head in both hands, ramming barbarically, as if to crush everything.

The fourth-tier war started again, but the difference was that this time, they fought farther and farther away.

After a while, the sound of collision was like thunder, but it had disappeared into the sky.

Only when it was completely invisible did Loye sit down on the ground, rejoicing at this escape from death.

Parr Paul wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Finally gone, it wasn't easy!"

Loye looked at him: "Don't stand there, hurry up!"

"Hurry up what?"

Parr Paul hadn't reacted yet, making Loye speechless: "Hurry up and check the condition of everyone's injuries, and give a magic potion to everyone who can still be saved!"

"Oh oh, ah?"

Parr Paul finally reacted and immediately moved, and Loye also tremblingly took out a dimensional bag and took out various magic potions.

At this moment, he couldn't help but look at Oliveira. He didn't know when, but Oliveira had passed out.

First, here's an update, the later ones will be later!
