Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

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.

Michael passed through the piles of fallen enemies and watched as more enemies fell. However, the Sacred Knights were forced to pull back not even a minute into Holy Guardian. They retrieved their Holy Power without prior warning, resulting in a small backlash. Some older Blessed Squires, who had been too unfortunate to never receive another promotion even after their Tier advanced to the 2nd, were swallowed by a mass of Tekur. It looked like the mass of Tekur moved in unison as they dived into the group of Blessed Squires, devouring them in one go. The Blessed Squires couldn't be seen anymore, but their screams resounded through the vicinity. Unfortunately, or fortunately, in their situation, the screams didn't last long. They ceased seconds after the Tekur mass had swallowed them.

Michael faintly sensed the loss of several Links of Loyalty, but as unfortunate as it was, Michael had already gotten accustomed to this sensation. At this point, hundreds of millions of Summons resided in his territory. As if that wasn't enough, each jungle monster was connected to him through a similar Link of Loyalty as his Summons and Awakened too. It wasn't uncommon for Links of Loyalty to sever. In fact, Michael was the reason for many severed Links of Loyalty as he also killed the highly aggressive mutations and evolutions of jungle monsters.

But while it was obvious to get accustomed to the loss of Links of Loyalty, Michael didn't feel great at the sight of his trusted Summons' deaths. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He cursed and charged the mass of Tekur alongside several Holy Knights. A pair of sledgehammers appeared in the hands of two Holy Knights while a third wielded a massive War Axe. They would probably cause more damage than Michael, but that didn't mean his help was useless.

Michael's Void Scales attached to the backside of the War Axes and sledgehammers, and he pushed them forward with Greater Psychokinesis, the instance the Holy Knights attacked. Their sledgehammers and War Axe cleaved down like usual, but the force was several times higher due to Michael's help. The weapons accelerated and smashed and cut deep into the Tekur mass, crushing several Tekur with one blow and cleaving through many at the same time.

Michael didn't have Seer or a Soultrait working like Seer in this body, but that was also why he ended up focusing more on his perception. He trained his perception to work like Seer since he didn't own a Soultrait like this. That helped him improve and grow stronger than before. He didn't have to rely on a Soultrait like Seer to perceive the energy frequencies and their fluctuations in a large range anymore. Even the faintest details were unraveled to his perception, improving his combat prowess considerably.

That was how Michael ended up knowing which Summons and Awakened were left unscathed in the Tekur mass and which foes were about to die or were already killed by the Holy Knights' fierce blows.

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."
