Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Line

Inside the Hell Knight Corps.

Captain Marlon had known the special nature of this ‘Hell Kid’ for quite some time… However, even high-ranking demon bloodline and high adaptability didn’t count for much in Marlon’s eyes.

Nevertheless.

The situation on the stage piqued Marlon’s interest slightly.

Sean didn’t hesitate to consume a large amount of physical strength, halting the ferocious attack and decisively choosing to retreat.

Such insightful and decisive qualities are excellent attributes a powerful Knight should possess.

“Not bad… When the majority of the body has undergone a demonic transformation, the desire for rage is also enhanced.

To maintain a calm mind in such a state, simultaneously attacking and comprehensively analyzing the situation in battle.

Otto, The student you’ve been raising is really not bad.”

Hearing praises from the captain, Otto was all smiles, “Haha! Sean’s true strength is still far from fully displayed. He might even defeat this knight head-on.”

“Defeat? He’s still far from that… Otto, do you recognize this Symbolic Knight?”

“I don’t recall much. Since you ventured into Hell and took the Demon King’s test, I haven’t been involved in the Knight’s selection much… This knight was probably recently selected over the past few years.”

“So young, yet he has an aura of ‘royalty’… I wonder what methods Captain Hugo used to recruit him.”

…

On the stage.

No one can feel ‘danger’ more vividly than Sean.

Symbolic Knight – Charlie, who looked weak, left Sean feeling like he was treading into the deepest, most frightening dungeon of Hell. It felt as if dozens of hungry demons were casting the most primitive gaze of hunger at him, attempting to incorporate Sean into their body.

Charlie, who had fastened his buttons, appreciatively remarked, “Your reaction was quite fast… given yourself a bit more time to accumulate points.”

Sean didn’t respond. He dared not hold back in the slightest.

From this point on, he had to go all out… otherwise, he might not make it to the final match.

The formal match allows two weapons.

Although Sean was valued by the deputy head of the regiment, he only received preferential treatment during training. This allowed him to receive regular military education in the Hell Knight Corps ahead of time and hone his body in the harsh environment of Hell.

The issue of equipment had to be solved by Sean himself.

Being born in Hell, naturally, he leaned more towards offense…

Sean managed to obtain top-quality materials from the Fate Space and crafted two powerful weapons suited for himself on the Hell Iron Drill…

Due to the large and heavy nature of the equipment.

Sean preserved his weapons using a ‘demon rune’.

At this moment… both runes are crushed at the same time.

Accompanied by the surging lava.

Two different styles of heavy weapons appear in Sean’s left and right hands.

Sean’s exceptional strength, coupled with his giant palm, allowed him to wield these heavy weapons that normally required both hands with just one.

‘Fist of Marlowe (Unique Purple)’

A heavy hammer embedded with large bone knuckles, mainly forged from the entire arm of the ‘Subjugator – Marlowe’, and high-quality metal materials.

It grants the wielder an extremely powerful ‘armor-breaking’ ability, with a certain chance of ignoring defense levels when hitting an individual lesser than ‘Marlowe’ and crushing the target directly.

‘Bone-Cutting Ax (Blue Exquisite)’

The enormous ax, with a blade made of thousands of Hellhound Tooth Slices, inflicted massive damage on pure flesh bodies and caused terrifying bleeding effects.

The heavy hammer breaks the armor, the great ax shreds the flesh.

This is Sean’s offensive method as a prospective Knight.

Using the most simple power to offset the enormous weight of the weapons… Sean’s movement is unobstructed, and there’s a sense that he is still ‘growing’.

“So strong!!”

The blacksmith Winry down below could clearly feel this aura of power.

“He sure has something, the destructive power of this graduate from Hell is astonishing.” Dumps too, gave a positive comment.

Han Dong glanced at the Hell student a few times, but his attention was still focused on Knight Charlie.

Han Dong still couldn’t figure out what secret weapon this seemingly physically weak knight was hiding… what the use was of the ‘delicate line structure’ within his body that exceeded that of normal people by dozens of times.

“I should be able to find out soon… as the game only calculates the net fighting duration, such a stalemate is meaningless and will only consume Sean’s energy in vain.

In less than five seconds, Sean will make a move.”

Han Dong leaned forward slightly, his attention heightened, unwilling to miss any detail.

Just as expected, five seconds passed.

Sean’s body swelled, exhaling a kind of vaguely red breath from his mouth.

He charged at Knight Charlie again.

This time it was different.

Five meters away, Sean suddenly stomped the ground with his front foot.

Through clever use of his strength, Sean rotated by stomping on the ground in this manner, concentrating the inertia of his forward charge to the position of his foot…

[Body Art – Instant Step]

Whoosh!

An afterimage was left at his previous position.

In an instant, Sean had arrived behind Knight Charlie.

This scene caused several regiment leaders to look surprised. The Big Knight-of-arms Rolan from the Lionheart Knight Group couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice, “Hmm!? Such a strong body holding two overloaded weapons… can still perform an instant step? The Hell Knight Corps really found a treasure.”

The instant step was successful.

Sean had already swung the two weapons in his hands, “Got him!”

The heavy hammer struck Knight Charlie’s body.

There was a crackling sound… not the sound of a broken body, but the crisp sound of some hard shell or wood breaking.

The body broke apart.

The ‘broken arms and limbs’ that fell into the air were just puppets that resembled human forms.

At this moment.

One of Knight Charlie’s feet was firmly stepping on Sean’s head.

“What domineering power and control of the body… you almost hit me.”

The humiliation of being stepped on caused Sean to be enraged, his body size further increased, and just as he swung his weapon at the top of his head… Knight Charlie had landed ten meters away.

“Power of Hell… Full throttle!”

For a moment, visible red lines surfaced on Sean’s body.

His power and speed reached their maximum.

As Sean continued to charge, he felt that there was something wrong with his muscle operations… Upon inspection, thousands of transparent lines that were hard to see with the naked eye had already been attached to his body.

These fine lines were unknowingly inserted into Sean’s body by Knight Charlie when they made contact earlier.

“Mysticism! Stitcher!!” Han Dong in the crowd could not help but exclaim in shock.

Because of the influence of these fine lines, Sean’s charging became uncontrollable.

His direction changed and passed Knight Charlie, and he even had trouble stopping… If this continued, he would charge straight off the ring.

At the last second.

Through pure brute force and muscle hardening, Sean clamped the fine lines connecting the key parts of his body and forcibly stopped himself, stopping right at the edge of the ring.

ZZZZZ!

Steam rose up. Sean, through his achievements in training in Hell, raised his body temperature to soften these fine lines, and then tried to break free with force.

But at that moment.

A strange puppet controlled by Knight Charlie was already close to Sean’s back.

With a light push.

“Falls off the ring, game over.”
