Novel Full Chapter 208 Testing the Waters
“Sorry, I won’t be involved in this matter.”
After Rocky had actively expressed his stance like a patriotic young man, Karina spoke up too, but her attitude was the direct opposite of Rocky’s. She clearly stated that she had no interest in the matter and did not plan to get involved at all.
“Karina?”
Rocky was somewhat surprised by her stance, because the fall of Tulip City was no small matter. It was truly a major event. It is no exaggeration to say that if this were mishandled and the situation worsened, it could potentially affect every person in the world!
In such a case, how could one just stand by and do nothing?
“I am not the only City Lord in the world. Even if I do not get involved, naturally, there will be others who will handle it. Moreover, I am not interested in any Alliance, nor do I wish to have any contact with one,” she stated.
From Rocky’s puzzled gaze, Karina could tell what he was thinking, but she did not care in the slightest.
“Besides, there’s you.”
With a slight smile toward Rocky, Karina casually pushed the entire matter onto him…
“This… Okay then…”
Rocky could somewhat understand Karina’s decision, knowing her past and how she had once been abandoned by the Alliance. It was natural for her to have some aversion to sending Wilton to the Sky Alliance.
“Let’s do it this way then, after we return to Sky City, I will directly contact the Sky Alliance. Once everything is settled, I’ll head to Lingyu City, and we can meet there.”
Since Karina wanted no involvement with Wilton or the Sky Alliance, Rocky did not press further, and he then voiced his own suggestion.
“Alright, let’s do as you say. We’ll meet in Lingyu City.”
With a nod, Karina gave Rocky a slight smile, then she and her guards left the Thunderhawk and returned to her flagship.
Not long after, the fleet reentered the Traceless Battlefield. Although there was now a distinguished guest on board, both Rocky, who was headed to the Sky Alliance, and Karina, who was headed to Lingyu City, had to return to their respective Sky Cities, so the fleet still had to pass through the Traceless Battlefield.
While this route avoided the threat of the Magic Dragon, it also faced the threat of the Magical Energy Storm, so the level of danger was still considerable, and everyone was somewhat on edge.
However, once the fleet entered the Magical Energy Storm, Holy Knight Wilton showed everyone what he could do!
Having awakened, upon learning the fleet intended to traverse the Magical Energy Storm, he donned his Holy Knight Armor and flew alone into the sky!
“My heavens… what is he doing…!”
Rocky was unaware of Wil’s actions. When he found out and hurried to the deck, he was shocked by Wil’s actions!
This is the range of the Magical Energy Storm!
Orton had previously mentioned that the Magical Energy Storm could automatically target and attack within its range. Therefore, all targets within its enveloped airspace were in danger, especially aerial targets. That’s why the fleet dared not fly at high altitudes but only at low altitudes, even though they still had to endure the storm’s onslaught.
But Wil, after having flown out of the Thunderhawk, had risen directly to the high altitudes!
What was he trying to do?
Was he challenging the Magical Energy Storm!
Such audacious, or might as well say suicidal, action stunned everyone in the fleet, whether it was Rocky, Karina, or the crew members on each warship. At this moment, they all came out on the deck, and each of them looked up at Welsh in the sky as if they were looking at a madman.
However, the next scene left everyone gasping in surprise!

In the sky, Welsh, unsurprisingly, suffered the onslaught of the Magical Energy Storm. Dozens of lightning bolts flashed out from the huge dark clouds encompassing the entire battlefield. Each lightning bolt seemed alive, clawing and snarling as it shot straight towards Wilton!
But faced with these numerous attacks, Wilton in the air raised his long sword and then furiously slashed at the lightning bolts barreling towards him!
The long sword equipped with the Holy Knight Armor was vastly different from the standard long swords. The biggest difference was that it was larger, wider, and longer, and naturally, it was heavier. Therefore, it was more appropriate to call it a two-handed great sword.
Yet this great sword, handled by Wilton, seemed to have no weight at all as it swung extremely smoothly. It might not look very fast, but every slash would hit the lightning precisely and shatter it with a single strike!
It took only a few blinks of an eye, and dozens of lightning bolts had been shattered by Wilton with his great sword, while he himself remained unharmed!
Experts are known from the moment they act. As Wilton demonstrated his skills in front of everyone like slicing through butter, warriors like Rocky and Karina were utterly convinced. Those were lightning bolts!
To slash at the lightning with a great sword required incredibly quick reactions, precise movements, and tremendous strength. Wilton managed to do this and made it look easy!
Of course, his ability to perform such a feat, aside from his personal strength, was also greatly aided by his custom-grade Armor.
It is important to know the attacks of the Magical Energy Storm are not just scratching an itch— those are genuinely deadly attacks. To withstand them, Wilton’s Holy Knight Armor must possess extremely high magic energy, for only with a magic energy value of the same intensity could he use his great sword to cleave through lightning; otherwise, it would be suicidal.
After this, Rocky couldn’t help but turn to Orton beside him.
“Teacher, how high is the magic energy value of this Holy Knight Armor?”
Since Wilton was wearing the top-of-the-line custom-level Armor, its contained magic energy could not be judged by the standards of regular Armor. Thus, Rocky could only ask Orton, who, as a Magic Energy Master involved in the development of customized technology, must be able to estimate the magic energy of the Holy Knight Armor.
But when Rocky looked at Orton, he found Orton was frowning at Wilton, as if deep in thought.
“Teacher?”
Seeing that Orton didn’t respond for a long while, Rocky asked again.
This time Orton finally came back to his senses, but he did not answer Rocky’s question and instead glanced at him.
“It’s time…”
Without responding to the query, Orton turned and left the deck, heading back to his own cabin, leaving a bewildered Rocky behind…
