Chapter 663: Chapter 273: Austin, What Have You Protected (Thanks to the Alliance Reward from ’Neng Tian Shi’)_2

...

The sky was gloomy, and the Dark Sea was boundless.

The howling winds stirred like roars, rolling up the damp, cold and dark breath, crushing the reef area by the sea’s edge.

The barren reef area was like a corner forsaken by the world, a bleak mix of black and gray, desolate and melancholic, devoid of any signs of life.

In the distance, a black forest sea rolled with the terrain, its profound darkness filled with an indescribable sense of oppression; centered around the reef area, it corresponded with the Dark Sea to constitute this vast, dark world.

Austin stood atop the reef, putting away the Ancient Silver Coin, unleashing the suppressed Dark Power within his body.

Shadowy light diffused from Twilight Deadlock across Austin’s body, the Blacklight Armor devoured all the light on him, painting everything about him in darkness.

Clad in Armor, Austin pulled out Twilight Deadlock from the void and closed his eyes to sense the whereabouts of Allen.

Austin did not trust Allen. Judging others by his own measure, if he knew his opponent’s secret and weakness, he would relentlessly pursue them.

And very likely, halfway through the battle, Allen might suddenly withdraw his Life Force Field, exposing Austin’s Dark Knight appearance in full view before his wife and children.

Knowing this, Austin still transformed. More than being seen by his wife and children, he feared that Allen would take his wife and children hostage and then force him to transform.

Twilight Deadlock was a cursed game by the Dark Goddess, bringing great pain to Austin.

After transforming into a Dark Knight, this pain would temporarily disappear, but if Austin faced an invincible enemy and needed greater strength, he would have to understand more pain through Twilight Deadlock.

The greater the pain, the stronger the Dark Knight’s power!

In case Allen suddenly withdrew his Life Force Field, Austin continuously accepted this pain, understood it, and then transformed it into his power.

In the high skies, the dark clouds parted to either side, Allen’s enormous face loomed overhead.

Thunder was his voice, and howling wind his tone—he was the god of this world!

"Austin, you have finally drawn Twilight Deadlock, hand it over. This power isn’t yours; you are just a thief."

"Allen, you’ve been deceived. I’ve never stolen the power of Twilight Deadlock; I acquired this sword in a deal with the Dark Goddess!" Austin did not specify the details of the deal. Holding Twilight Deadlock, the Goddess wanted him to find the true God-chosen Knight.

On one hand, he did not believe that Allen was the God-chosen; on the other, he needed Twilight Deadlock. Even if the true God-chosen stood before him, he would not hand over Twilight Deadlock.

Pain spread throughout his body, tormenting Austin’s mind. On the black Face Armor, a pair of crimson eyes suddenly opened wide.

At that moment, Austin seemed like a humanoid black hole, plundering all light and sound around him, even the unique energy of the Four Elements within the Life Force Field, which was ruthlessly devoured upon touching his body.

Around the dark figure, the Life Force Field faded, and the reef area turned white and transparent, as if white ink had dropped onto the heavily inked canvas.

Only the center remained dark. freёweɓnovel_com

"Hand over Twilight Deadlock!"

The sky thundered in fury, with red lightning chains exploding in all directions.

Allen, terrified by the all-consuming Dark Power of Austin, was also elated that this power would ultimately belong to him. He manipulated the conversion of material energy; a dull red thunderous hand descended from the heavens, targeting the reef area where Austin stood.

The black figure was hazy, the red eyes seemingly possessed infinite Magic Power, mesmerizing and captivating.

Black sword light soared into the sky, cutting through the thunder, devouring it, from bottom to top, cleaving everything it touched in twain.

The black stream of energy seemed to extend endlessly, severing the thunderous hand, and the momentum did not stop, striking and sweeping towards the darkened sky, splitting Allen’s enormous face in two.

The clouds parted along a vertical line, the twisted face dissolving into the black clouds, and with a roar, the entire dark world came to life.

From within the Dark Sea, Element Giants each a hundred meters tall, bellowed as they emerged;

In the continuous forest sea, various bizarre figures, like Void Behemoths, approached the reef area.

Earth, fire, water, wind...

Energy aggregated and reformed, creating countless powerful figures, as if the prologue to a mythical era was being replayed right there.

Amidst billowing black smoke, a Wind Elemental Giant mixed with darkness arrived first, its figure ballooning like a blown-up balloon; in the blink of an eye, its stature soared to a kilometer high.

Mountainous feet lifted, aiming a stomp at the reef area.

The wind roared, and blast waves were released.

At that moment, dark light burst forth, and a straight cutting line ran along the body of the Wind Elemental Giant, from the sole of its foot to the neck and shoulder, slicing its body in half, causing the Giant to stagger and slowly topple to either side.

The Legendary Mage’s Life Force Field was not real, everything was a false construct, a projection of the void manipulated by the Mage, who then filled this world with a lifetime of knowledge, perfecting the world with energy combinations, making it vividly lifelike.

Austin, who was no Legendary Mage and only an ordinary silver, was not hindered in his battle against this world. Even if his perception was distorted, he still had the power to confront a Legendary Mage.

Real or fake, everything seen or unseen before him would be hacked to pieces.

Many Golden Mages understood this but almost none could achieve it; with insufficient Magic Power and limited thinking, once one entered the Life Force Field, they could only be at someone else’s mercy.

Austin, wielding Twilight Deadlock, embraced pain, his strength flowing endlessly. Without fearing exhaustion, he swung Twilight Deadlock, and before the pain overwhelmed him, he would not fall.
