Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 735 - 632: The Task of the Holy Knight

Whizz——

Under the afternoon sun, a squad of Silver Knights, consisting of four riders, carved four long trails beneath the white clouds, shooting towards the direction of the "Mountain Giant".

Evidently, this mountain-like towering humanoid golem was impossible to ignore for them, passing through the sky.

Moreover, after discovering this existence terrifying as deities and demons in the eyes of ordinary people, their first thought was not to retreat but to approach for reconnaissance.

Perhaps because they lean on the domineering style of the "Dawn Church" back in their homeland, this Silver Knights squad hasn't experienced much societal hardship, and their manner is somewhat reckless.

But anyway, the "Silver Knights" are ultimately the elite of the elite in the "Dawn Church", and necessary tactical competence is still present. When they were at least fifteen kilometers from the Mountain Giant, they gradually slowed down and circled around it.

It's baffling.

When they saw the full picture of the Mountain Giant and clearly realized the power disparity between them, the Silver Knights showed no intention of leaving but instead charged back up to a high altitude to hover far away.

"The Silver Knights squad should have at least five members, including one Tier 3 Great Knight, but it seems they're missing a leader-type figure. Are these guys waiting for reinforcements after reconnaissance?"

Aiven thought for a moment and sharply sensed the subtly unfriendly intentions of the Silver Knights.

Particularly with Aiven's current status, he knew well that neither the "Iron Wall Knights" nor the "Silver Knights" are permanent forces in the colony.

If encountering one could be a coincidence, encountering two clearly freshly arrived from the homeland to the New Continent Holy Knights in a short time, he couldn't help but suspect something shady.

Moreover.

Although Aiven had no grudges with the Silver Knights, he hadn't forgotten the freshly repaired sword mark running through half the "Mountain Giant", from three hundred years ago, which force actually left it!

Thus, his heart moved.

The "Mountain Giant" stopped walking and turned towards where the Silver Knights hovered.

Stepping forward, he crouched, and amid their slight agitation, suddenly stamped the ground to leap.

Rumble!!!

After a massive earthquake, he leapt over ten kilometers like a mountain collapse.

Suddenly reached out with his moss-covered hand like a hill towards the sky.

Buzz——

A ring of earth-yellow ripples suddenly exploded from the Mountain Giant's palm.

"No, get higher!"

Having not faced a High-tier Wizard for a long time, the Silver Knights seriously underestimated the explosiveness of a "mountain" and were about to pull the reins to distance again.

But first, they were already engulfed by that ring of earth-yellow ripples.

Subsequently, a heavy force acting on every cell of their bodies made these Silver Knights inevitably and instantly sink.

Ah——!

Despite the gleaming Divine Art Spiritual Light on their bodies, the flying horses beneath them desperately flapping their wings, they couldn't alter this trend.

The "Mountain Giant," now repaired, besides possessing formidable power, also held three Magic-like Abilities: [Gravity Core], [Commanding Earth Element], [Mountain Collapse].

Using [Commanding Earth Element] to dig canals, he just utilized [Gravity Core].

The Mountain Giant gently scooped up, altering gravity's direction again, bringing them, horses and all, into his broad palm. At this moment, each of them felt like bearing tons of weight, unable to move an inch.

"Hesi!"

"Understood!"

The Mountain Giant slightly bowed, his eyes slowly flashing with Spiritual Light like Cat's Eye Stone.

[Gem Witchcraft: Enchantment]

Under Aiven's signal, Olivia asked the first question to the four people whose gazes were becoming vacant:

"Why have you come to Tulip's territory?"

Though they resisted fiercely, taking quite a bit of time, their answers were perfectly unanimous:

"We are executing reconnaissance missions using aerial advantage to identify any anomalous personnel that might threaten the Church's mission, marking, gathering intelligence or... eliminating them prematurely."

Aiven and Olivia exchanged glances, realizing these Holy Knights' arrival in the New Continent indeed hinted at significant issues. What kind of mission merited such fanfare?

Quickly they pursued further:

"The Church's mission? What mission?"

However, this question seemed to strike a forbidden zone within their consciousness, and each resisted with unprecedented force.

Olivia quickly caught a large Cat's Eye Stone and increased her output, striving to suppress their resisting consciousness.

Nonetheless, the Silver Knights indeed were worthy of being elite among the elite of the Dawn Church, despite being caught off-guard and fully captured by Aiven's crew, each one had incredibly resilient willpower. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Each clenched their teeth, half-awake, half-asleep, instinctively using all their strength to resist the mind-confusing enchantment.

Until two minutes later, a knight who appeared youngest broke his mental defenses, struggling as he slowly spoke:

"Our... mission is... heading towards... the clock soon... emerging in... this era..."

"Shut up!"

Clang——

A sharp sword sound suddenly interrupted the words he was about to say from the sky, dispersing the enchantment effect of Olivia's [Cat's Eye Stone: Enchantment] with divine power, and the four Silver Knights instantly regained their clarity.

Then.

A brilliant sword light emerged from the horizon, then suddenly shot down like golden lightning.

Before the person arrived, a solemn prayer echoed through the heavens and earth:

"I, upon the name of Langdoc, swear: Sound the horn of fertility, attend to God's flock!"

Ss——

The golden rainbow-like sword light flashed out splendidly, about to directly sever the Mountain Giant's right wrist to rescue his companions.

[Holy Sword: Leivodin]

It's the weapon once wielded by Frey, Angel of Fertility under "Dawn", also the reason for the confidence of facing the "Mountain Giant" with a sword.

Just like the divinely bestowed weapon {Holy Spear: Durandal} used to subdue Opera God Persel in "New Inn Port", it's overwhelmingly powerful force granted by gods to mortals.

However, only divine use truly reveals the artifact's power; moreover, it's merely a Holy Sword?

The Mountain Giant's left arm already surrounded with a ring of frost-white Sword Qi, pierced the air with sharp cries, collided fiercely with it.

Rumble!

The golden sword light recoiled, revealing a tall, burly figure.

Undoubtedly, this was the captain of the Silver Knights squad — Peak Grand Knight Langdoc.

A ring of gold-rimmed like wheat adorned the Grand Knight's side, enabling him to stand in mid-air. Gazing at the Mountain Giant before him, Langdoc's golden pupils slightly contracted.

While every denomination has Holy Swords, only the devout Holy Knights who serve gods heartily may wield them. Others, don't say using, even a mere touch might cause severe backlash.

Though indeed powerful results ensue, even with the bearer being merely a Peak Grand Knight, aided by such a weapon, unquestionably not weak within Tier 4.

Despite sheathing again, its divine light flashed ominously, ready to erupt fatally anytime.

Rather than knights wielding a Holy Sword, it's more that knights are attendants of the Holy Sword. Through the feedback from the Holy Sword, he keenly sensed the Rock Giant's strength.

Nonetheless, just a hasty random strike earlier meant nothing.

Yet just as he placed his hand back onto the golden ear-of-wheat-like sword hilt, he suddenly heard a voice from the Mountain Giant: "I will return your people, the flying horses will stay here as amends."

Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz!

Gravity flipped, and four figures were instantly thrown out.

"Hope you remember the lesson next time and don't casually trespass on others' territory."

Feeling the palm's [Gravity] that couldn't be severed even by a Holy Sword, Langdoc deeply regarded the Mountain Giant with his golden eyes.

Without uttering nonsense, he directly scattered the golden ear-of-wheat-like rainbow light, curling up to fly towards his companions, instantaneously breaking through the sky.

Leaving only Aiven and his two companions watching their departure backs, while their expressions slightly solemn:

"The clock of this era... shortly to manifest...?"
