Chapter 77: The Mighty Super Spellcaster

The clamorous noise had already faded away.

The streets now seemed somewhat empty.

On the street, the Demon Knight and the Super Spellcaster "Captain Jack" faced each other.

The humans far down the street, and those hiding behind glass in the houses on either side, watched the battle of these transcendent powerhouses cautiously and silently.

Although they did not know the identities of these two transcendent beings, from the terrifying burst of flame aura, they could sense that this was likely an extremely powerful transcendent.

And those transcendent beings who knew the identities of the two combatants were even more eagerly anticipating this duel.

"Isn't that Demon Knight guy 'Ido'?"

"You know him?"

"Of course I do. I heard that when he was at the fifth rank, he hunted a high-ranking Knight Commander in the Southern Church but was defeated. I thought he was dead, but I never expected he escaped and has already reached the sixth rank."

"A six-star, sixth-rank Demon Knight against that Super Spellcaster—this should be quite a show."

"Heh heh... This Super Spellcaster, Captain Jack, had better perform strongly enough."

"Otherwise, there's no way he's getting out of here today."

"As far as I know, there are several powerful sixth-rank bounty hunters here."

"Once this guy is defeated by the Demon Knight, or even injured, those guys will definitely swarm in and devour the Super Spellcaster down to the last scrap."

"Heh heh... Naturally."

"Look, they're about to make a move."

...

As a Blood Escape Technique landed,

Gunie quickly retreated, stepping back.

Sure enough, the Demon Knight suddenly lunged forward.

In the blink of an eye, he crossed over thirty meters, his sharp spear wrapped in flame radiance sweeping down toward Gunie again.

"His charge speed is very fast; this guy must have trained hard in this charging ability. Right, for a transcendent of this type, only by increasing his approach speed can he effectively strike his enemy."

"Unfortunately, I'm not a slow incantation caster."

At this moment, Gunie, in motion, tapped his foot, his form instantly pulling a blur, dodging this strike as fast as lightning.

Gunie's such swift speed secretly startled many transcendent beings observing from the shadows.

Earlier, Gunie had only used incantations to dodge.

But now, Gunie was relying entirely on his own speed.

And his own speed was much faster than that of an average fourth-rank Shadow Walker.

For an incantation caster to possess such speed was quite astonishing.

After all, an incantation caster's own speed and agility were generally nothing to write home about.

"This Captain Jack's speed is actually this fast? That wasn't in the intelligence."

"Indeed, it wasn't. It seems this Demon Knight is in for a hard time."

"Feels like he's going to suffer a big loss. After all, this Demon Knight only has this charging ability to close in."

"And if that ability is countered, he'll definitely gain no advantage against a long-range spellcaster."

"The only thing to watch is how many incantation bombardments he can withstand."

"He needs to seize an opportunity during the opponent's casting."

"Mm! Right now, the only thing this Demon Knight can somewhat boast about is his defense and toughness."

"But that might not hold up against this Super Spellcaster, who excels in attack."

As Gunie dodged, the Great Thunderflame Incantation was finally ready.

While retreating, the condensed, ultra-powerful, already fourth-level Great Thunderflame Incantation, guided by the Soul-Fixing Spirit Ring Incantation, blasted straight through.

The Demon Knight lacked such instantaneous dodging ability and could not avoid this strike; he could only endure it head-on.

Facing this blow, relying on his strong physique and extremely high toughness, the Demon Knight "Ido" showed no fear and charged straight forward.

"Zzzt!"

A thick bolt of purple lightning pierced through, even enveloping the Demon Knight's massive three-meter-tall body and his mount, the Elemental Fire Horse.

"Roar!"

Ido, in mid-charge, let out a scream of agony. His massive body suddenly stiffened, and then both man and horse crashed to the ground with a "thud."

This scene left the onlookers dumbfounded.

A six-star, sixth-rank Demon Knight had considerable toughness.

Many of them knew that Ido, at the fifth rank, had withstood several Secret Pattern Incantations without dying.

Now, at the sixth rank, his transcendent body's toughness was naturally even higher.

But they hadn't expected that this Super Spellcaster, Captain Jack, would knock "Ido" to the ground with just one Secret Pattern Incantation.

After knocking down the sixth-rank Demon Knight with one blow, Gunie quickly chanted another Great Thunderflame Incantation.

Gunie possessed dual casting.

The main soul cast spells, while the secondary soul remained vigilant against unexpected situations.

Ido, catching his breath, rapidly surged his internal source energy, and the Elemental Fire Horse coalesced again.

"How can this incantation's power be so terrifying? Damn it."

Ido, his body numb and even stiff and hard to control, felt a mix of bitterness and shock.

The higher the level of an incantation, the harder it was to upgrade.

For incantations as powerful as the "Secret Pattern Incantation,"

in the hands of many incantation casters, they were basically in a state where they could be released but hadn't even reached the first level.

Only those transcendent beings willing to train hard in incantations could possess a first-level Secret Pattern Incantation after a transformation.

Only by taking the Secret Pattern Incantation as a core and training hard over many years could one achieve second-level or even third-level powerful Secret Pattern Incantations.

And Gunie, after half a year of idling,

had his Great Thunderflame Incantation at the fourth level.

This fourth-level Thunderflame Incantation was naturally incomparable to those ordinary Secret Pattern Incantations that were merely in a releasable state with only basic power.

The difference in power was as much as seven or eight times.

This Demon Knight might be able to withstand the attacks of those basic Secret Pattern Incantations.

But he couldn't withstand Gunie's fourth-level Great Thunderflame Incantation, which contained terrifying power.

Manipulating his somewhat numb transcendent body, "Ido" had just mounted the Elemental Fire Horse again when he looked up and saw another heart-shaking thick purple lightning sweeping toward him.

"Crack!"

As the purple lightning pierced through,

"Thud!"

This time, Ido tumbled headfirst from the Elemental Fire Horse.

Even his Elemental Fire Horse could barely hold together, showing signs of dissipating.

At this moment, many transcendent beings stared at the scene in shock.

A six-star, sixth-rank Demon Knight was an existence with extremely solid toughness.

A powerful being who had once withstood several Secret Pattern Incantation bombardments while charging.

But now, two Secret Pattern Incantations had nearly made him unable to stand.

If it were any other transcendent profession, they would likely have been killed on the spot with a single blow.

This guy was only at the fourth rank; how could his incantations be so terrifying?

Is this what a Super Spellcaster is?

Gunie's formidable incantation immediately made several capable bounty hunters secretly abandon their intentions.

Such a terrifying incantation could take their lives with a single strike.

They dared not try it lightly.

Just as the Demon Knight was propping himself up to stand,

Crack!

The third Great Thunderflame Incantation blasted over.

This time, the Demon Knight never got up again.

From over thirty meters away, through the Demon Secondary Soul's sense of smell, Gunie clearly sensed that this six-star Demon's soul was severely injured.

After replenishing himself with a new Blood Shield to fill the energy burned by the flames, Gunie glanced coldly around and then walked toward the Demon Knight.

Approaching the Demon Knight, this six-star, sixth-rank Demon Knight was indeed as sensed—not pretending to be injured, but truly unable to stand.

Blood Tentacles shot out to kill.

Gurgle...

A large amount of blood was drawn by Gunie.

"The blood of this sixth-rank Demon Knight tastes quite good."

While savoring the blood, Gunie said softly.

After draining the blood, the Demon Secondary Soul inhaled and completely devoured the Demon Knight's soul.

Thus, the sixth-rank Demon Knight fell completely.

After looting the Demon Knight's transcendent storage equipment and the also dropped fifth-rank Shadow Assassin's transcendent storage equipment,

In front of the many prying eyes, Gunie swaggered away into the darkness of the alley.

And this time, no one followed.

When Gunie disappeared from sight,

News of this battle spread at an extremely fast pace.

The reputation of the Super Spellcaster quietly stirred up a wave within the entire Dragon Head Great Harbor.
