Thunder God's Reincarnation

Chapter 231

Mu-Gun and Philford stood face-to-face in the training hall. For safety purposes, it was reinforced with various magics.

Youre not carrying a sword. Philford looked displeased.

I have one within me, so pay it no heed. Let us begin, Mu-Gun replied, catching Philfords interest. He seemed to be hinting at the Ego Sword, an Aura Blade that could be materialized using will alone. It was one of the tell-tale techniques that set Grand Masters apart from Masters, but not all Grand Masters could use it at will.

Mu-Gun coming unarmed evidenced how skillful he was with the technique. After all, it meant he did not need an actual sword for it to form around.

Curious about how amazing his Ego Sword would be, Philford announced, Well then, lets begin.

Mu-Gun nodded. Their sparring began.

Taking the initiative, Philford rushed toward Mu-Gun and thrust his sword, sending a blue Aura storming and sweeping over his target. Mu-Gun manifested a Thunderbolt Sword and used the Celestial Moonlight Sword in retaliation. Imbued with thunder qi, the golden moonlight qi engulfed the area in front of him and clashed with Philfords Aura storm.

Easily torn to shreds, the blue Aura storm exploded. Philfords expression stiffened as he swung his sword again, launching a stronger and larger Aura storm that appeared capable of filling the entire room. It lashed toward Mu-Gun, seemingly putting him in a dangerous situation where he could be torn to pieces as soon as he was caught in it.

Nevertheless, Mu-Gun looked unbothered. He calmly unleashed the Hundred Golden Lightning Wheel Wave, enveloping himself with a wave of energy shaped like a huge wheel. The blue Aura storm collided against it, resulting in a powerful blast.

The Aura storm struck the golden wheel countless times, but the latter remained unscathed. When the storm subsided, the wheel split into a hundred Thunderbolt Swords and shot toward Philford.

Philfords eyes widened in surprise, but he still managed to swing his sword in defense, enveloping him with an Aura storm and blocking Mu-Guns offense. However, the Thunderbolt Swords easily penetrated through his defenses.

Philford shut his eyes tightly upon seeing the Thunderbolt Swords penetrating through his Aura storm, believing that they would soon pierce through him. However, he did not feel anything. When he opened his eyes, he saw the Thunderbolt Swords hovering around him. It seemed Mu-Gun had commanded them to stop the moment they got through his defenses.

The Thunderbolt Swords surrounding him unleashed waves of lightning, the sight of which gave him goosebumps. Even a Grand Master would find it extremely difficult to manifest a hundred Ego Swords alone, yet Mu-Gun did not just easily accomplish such a feat. He also controlled them so perfectly that it was as if they were a part of him.

Realizing that Mu-Gun was beyond his league, Philford was convinced that Mu-Gun had become Gods representative.

As far as he knew, Mu-Gunno, Argon was only twenty-three years old. Even a genius could not advance to his current stage at such a tender age. Unless God granted him power, his strength was inexplicable.

Do you need more proof?

No. I believe you. Now, please release the swords.

Alright. Mu-Gun shrugged and did as requested.

Camilla, who was watching the spar, approached Mu-Gun. That was truly magnificent. It was my first time witnessing Sir Philford so helpless in combat. You truly are different.

I believe I have proven myself enough as Gods representative. Whats next?

I apologize for making you go through such a discourteous procedure to confirm your identity instead of thanking and bowing to you for helping our country first. However, this matter put the fate of our nation at stake. We had to be certain. Blindly trusting you could have put us in a predicament if we turned out to be wrong, Lord Argon.

Do not worry. I understand why you had to go to such lengths. That aside, how is the situation now?

Things are not looking good. More than five thousand Blackbosses have devastated our fiefdom and are now advancing toward our Royal Capital. At their current speed, they will likely reach it in three days, Camilla briefed.

Have you prepared countermeasures?

We were planning to take advantage of the water properties and duke it out in the Royal Capital. Now that you are here, however, taking a more aggressive approach is our best option. Naturally, that is only if you agree to it, Lord Argon.

Let us head out now, then. We should not waste any more time,.

You want to leave now?

Are there any reasons why we cannot?

"We have to get permission from His Majesty first.

We will wait.

How about you join us for an audience with His Majesty instead?

I will formally pay respect after annihilating the Blackboss. There is something I must do before heading to battle.

Alright. I will leave you to it.

Camilla headed to the Royal Palace to meet the Kraiss Kingdoms King, Lavio Caribbean Kraiss. Meanwhile, Mu-Gun asked Philford for permission to use the training hall for a while. Philford granted his request and left shortly after.

Why are we staying at the training hall? Schwartz asked.

I have something for you and the other Master-rank knights, Captain.

What is it?

Chevalier Armor.

You mean

Yes. I am going to give you all E-Class Chevalier Armor.

Are you being serious? Arent those only worn by the Golden Dragon Orders captain and Master-rank knights? Schwartz asked in disbelief.

I put in some effort. Grinning, Mu-Gun took out a ring from his Magic Pouch. Here.

Is it really okay for us to take this? Schwartz reluctantly asked.

If you dont want to, I can just give it to someone else.

No!

When Mu-Gun tried to pull his hand back, Schwartz quickly reached out and took the ring.

You dont need me to tell you how to bring out the Chevalier Armor, do you?

Of course not.

Mu-Gun also handed Gellion, Gilford, Diaz, and Vilmoth a ring each.

Can we try it out?

Test it out as much as you like.

Schwartz was the first to wear the ring and summon a Chevalier Armor. Summoning the armor was fairly simple. One simply had to inject a certain amount of Mana into the rings spacial stone.

Taking a deep breath to calm his nervousness and excitement, Schwartz poured Mana into the rings space stone, which then emitted and enveloped him with a blue light. Metals soon clanked as a Chevalier Armor mounted over him.

The impressive and majestic armor was more than five meters tall and boasted a heavy build, which was evidenced by the thick outer armor that maximized its defensive capabilities. Fortunately, the various magic circles inscribed into it kept Schwartz as fast and agile as before he put it on.

The magic circles inscribed on a Chevalier Armor differed from nation to nation and were important factors in determining its performance. What the Pantheon Kingdoms Chevalier Armor lacked in defense they made up with excellent speed and unconstrained maneuverability.

After moving around with the armor, Schwartz unsheathed the Chevalier Sword hanging by its waist and unleashed his Aura. With his Mana amplified, a Flame Aura began to soar around the Knight Sword. Schwartz swung the sword while maintaining the Flame Aura.

Schwartz sent out a long beam of Flame Aura with a swing of his sword, making him look as if he was the manifestation of fire itself. His valor right now gave off the impression that he could slaughter the Blackbosses.

Chevalier Armors were also imbued with a lethal move known as Mana Breath, an offensive magic similar to a dragons breath. Using it would shoot out the Mana from the Mana Heart embedded in the Chevalier Armor.

An E-Class Chevalier Armors Mana Breath was powerful enough to knock down a Grand Master. However, since it was designed to act as a last resort, using it depleted the Mana inside the Mana Heart, rendering the Chevalier Armor inoperable.

After Schwartz, the four Master-rank knights tested their armor as well. Experiencing its outstanding performance, which far surpassed the ones they had worn in the past, made it hard for them to hide the joy they felt.

The other Golden Lion Knights looked at Schwartz and the four Masters with envy. After reaching the Master rank through the Thunder God Enlightenment Spell ahead of the others, they now received an E-Class Chevalier Armor. The other knights could not help but find it unfair.

The rest of you, please dont be too disappointed. You will also soon reach the Master Stage and obtain an E-Class Chevalier Armor, Mu-Gun, who easily read their thoughts through their expressions, reassured them.

The knights were relieved. To them, Mu-Guns words were essentially Gods words. If he said that it would come, then it would. Hence, they calmed themselves down and waited for their turn.

Are you not going to wear a Chevalier Armor, Lord Argon? Schwartz asked.

I do not have much use for E-Class Chevalier Armors anymore. I would have considered it if we had an F-Class Chevalier Armor, though. Anyway, please do not feel burdened while using them.

Understood. Schwartz was immediately convinced. Wearing such low-level armor would certainly be meaningless, considering Mu-Guns capabilities.

They had finished testing out their new equipment when Camilla and Philford returned to the training hall together.

How did it go? Mu-Gun asked.

His Majesty has given us permission.

Great. Let us depart at once.

As you wish.

Mu-Gun and the Golden Lion Order followed Camilla to the Kraiss Kingdoms portal and immediately teleported to Basque City, which was under threat of the Blackbosses invasion. Philford and the Crimson Dragon Order accompanied them.

When they arrived, Hamilton Travis, Basque Citys mayor, welcomed them in person.

Welcome. I am Hamilton Travis, the one in charge of Basque City. It is an honor to serve you, Sir Philford and Lady Camilla[1], Hamilton warmly greeted.

We will have to skip the formalities due to the direness of the situation, but at least allow me to introduce Lord Argon, the representative of the Sky God Yupir. He will be fighting the Blackboss with us, Camilla said.

Did you just say the Sky Gods representative? Hamilton looked at Camilla with surprise.

Yes. Sir Philford and I have thoroughly checked his identity. There is no reason to doubt him.

It is an honor to meet you, Hamilton greeted Mu-Gun.

The honor is mine, Mu-Gun returned.

We do not have to worry about the Blackbosses anymore now that you three are here.

How far have they advanced? Philford asked.

They are about only an hour away now. If you arrived a little later, our beloved city would have likely already been reduced to ashes.

Considering they are already that close, it appears we will have to head out immediately, Mu-Gun commented.

Philford nodded. I apologize for all this trouble. We cannot even grant you the rest that you deserve.

I can still do that once we wipe out the Blackbosses anyway.

Philford chuckled in response.

Shall we go, then? Camilla said.

Mu-Gun and Philford nodded. Wasting not even a moment, they immediately marched out of Basque Citys castle gate and made their way to the Blackbosses. The Golden Lion Order and Crimson Dragon Order followed closely behind them.

1. In the olden days, women could also be called Sir as a form of respect.
