Chapter 201: Chapter 208: Testing the Waters


    “`


    “Sorry, I won’t participate in this.”


    After Rocky enthusiastically expressed his stance like a young patriot, Karina also spoke up, but her attitude was the opposite of Rocky’s. She directly stated that she had no interest in this matter and had no intention of getting involved.


    “Karina?”


    Rocky was somewhat surprised by her statement because the fall of Tulip City was not a trivial matter. It was a major event, and it was no exaggeration to say that if this was not handled properly and the situation worsened, it could affect everyone in the world!


    How could one just ignore it under such circumstances?

    “I’m not the only City Lord in this world. Even if I don’t get involved, someone else will naturally take care of this matter. Besides, I’m not interested in things like alliances and have no desire to interact with any of them.”


    From Rocky’s puzzled look, Karina could tell what he was thinking, but she didn’t care one bit.


    “Besides, there’s still you.”


    With a slight smile at Rocky, Karina effortlessly pushed the whole matter onto him…


    “This… alright…”


    Rocky could somewhat understand Karina’s decision. After all, he knew about Karina’s past and that she had been abandoned by the Alliance before, leaving a shadow in her heart, so it was normal for her to be resistant to sending Wilton to the Sky Alliance.


    “Then let’s do it this way. After we return to Sky City, I’ll contact the Sky Alliance directly. Once the matter is settled, I’ll head to Lingyu City. We’ll meet again in Lingyu City then.”


    Since Karina didn’t want any entanglement with Wilton and the Sky Alliance, Rocky didn’t force it and soon made this suggestion.


    “Okay, let’s go with what you said. We’ll rendezvous in Lingyu City.”


    Nodding, Karina gave Rocky a slight smile, then flew away from the Thunderhawk with her guards and returned to her flagship.


    Not long after that, the fleet re-entered the Traceless Battlefield. Although there was now a distinguished guest on board, both Rocky heading to the Sky Alliance and Karina going to Lingyu City still needed to return to their respective Sky Cities, so the fleet had to pass through the Traceless Battlefield.


    Though this route could avoid the threat of the Magic Dragon, it also had to face the threat of the Magical Energy Storm, making it equally dangerous, leaving everyone a bit on edge.


    However, when the fleet entered the range of the Magical Energy Storm, Holy Knight Wilton showed everyone a remarkable feat!


    Having already awakened, upon learning that the fleet planned to pass through the storm, he donned his Holy Knight Armor and flew into the sky alone!


    “Oh my god… what’s he doing…?”


    Rocky had no idea about Wilton’s actions. When he learned about it and hurried to the deck, he was stunned by Wilton’s actions!


    This was within the range of the Magical Energy Storm!


    Orton had previously mentioned that the Magical Energy Storm could automatically target and attack anything within its range. Therefore, everything within its domain was at risk, especially aerial targets, which was why the fleet dared not fly at high altitudes and had to keep low, but even then, it still had to endure the storm’s wrath.


    Yet after Wilton flew out of the Thunderhawk, he directly soared to high altitudes!


    What was he trying to do?


    Was he challenging the Magical Energy Storm?


    Such a bold, or rather reckless, act left everyone in the fleet astounded. Whether it was Rocky, Karina, or the crew on each warship, at that moment, they all gathered on the deck, looking up at Wilton in the sky as if watching a madman.


    However, the next scene left everyone with their mouths agape!


    As expected, Wilton in the sky was struck by the Magical Energy Storm. From the enormous dark clouds enveloping the battlefield, dozens of lightning bolts instantly shot out, each one seeming alive, clawing straight at Wilton!


    But faced with countless attacks, Wilton raised his sword in the air and fiercely slashed at the lightning coming towards him!


    The longsword paired with the Holy Knight Armor was vastly different from standard longswords, with the most apparent distinction being that it was larger, wider, longer, and naturally heavier. So it was more appropriate to call it a two-handed sword rather than a longsword.


    Yet such a giant sword in Wilton’s hands seemed to have no weight, being wielded with extreme smoothness. Although it didn’t appear very fast, each strike accurately hit the lightning, smashing them with one blow!


    In just a few blinks of an eye, all the dozens of lightning bolts were shattered by Wilton’s greatsword, leaving him unharmed!


    An expert reveals their skill with one move. As Wilton casually showcased this feat in front of everyone, Rocky, Karina, and the Void Magic Warriors were left in utter amazement. That was lightning!


    Using a greatsword to cut through lightning, how quick a reaction, how precise the movements, and how formidable the strength must be to achieve such a feat? Yet Wilton did it effortlessly!


    Of course, his ability to complete this feat was not only due to his exceptional personal strength but also thanks to the custom-grade armor he wore, which played a significant role.


    One must know that the attack of a Magical Energy Storm was not a mere itch; it was a truly lethal attack. To counter it, Wilton’s Holy Knight Armor certainly had to possess a high level of mana. Only when the magic energy value reached the same level of intensity could he cut through lightning with a greatsword; otherwise, it would be suicide.


    So after this, Rocky couldn’t help but look towards Orton.


    “Teacher, how much magical energy does this set of Holy Knight Armor have?”


    Since the armor Wilton wore was the top-notch custom-grade type, the mana it contained could not be judged by the standards of ordinary armor. Therefore, Rocky could only ask Orton, who as a Magic Energy Master and someone involved in the development of custom-fitted technology, would surely be able to estimate the magic energy in the Holy Knight Armor.


    But when Rocky looked towards Orton, he found Orton staring at Wilton with a furrowed brow, as if pondering something.


    “Teacher?”


    Seeing that Orton hadn’t responded for a while, Rocky asked again.


    This time Orton finally came back to his senses, but he didn’t answer Rocky’s question. Instead, he glanced at him.


    “It’s time…”


    Saying something completely irrelevant, Orton turned and left the deck, heading back to his cabin, leaving a bewildered Rocky…
