The First Magic World War

Anthony had already noticed, the heavy iron stick that Qiudelo pulled out from his ear, and was surprised when he heard, "The legendary treasure used by the dragon of eternity and illusion to instruct its descendants?"

"Exactly!" Tumishen exclaimed.

Above the Sacred Order, there is the Divine Order!

Above Sacred Extraordinary Items, there naturally exist unparalleled divine weapons.

But in reality, it is impossible for humans to possess Divine Artifacts. Even the ten great weapons of the Beastmen are not true items of the deities, they are merely imbued with the aura of divine spirits, or they are simply Sacred Transcendent Weapons related to divine beings in legend.

The problem is, the vast majority of those in the Sacred Order would be doing well to have even one High-Level Transcendent Weapon, and only a very few possess Sacred Transcendent Weapons.

Ever since Charles's arrival in this time, he had only ever heard of one Sacred Extraordinary Item, which was the emerald scroll made by Master Moni that erased Zimmerman's memories.

He had only heard of two Sacred Extraordinary Items. One was a Sacred Transcendent Handgun in the hands of Earl Brittany. The other was said to be a dragon hammer held by Elephant Man Argon, but Charles had not seen it himself and didn't know whether the elephant person truly possessed the Sacred battle hammer.

He actually had one "Blood Spirit Rhinoceros" himself.

Charles had nearly forgotten about this "bracelet."

Anthony let out a low growl, more cautious than when he had fought against the King of Ten Thousand Lions, Emisphada. His Knight's Spear trembled in his hand, and mist surged from his body as he charged into battle alone.

Qiudelo, not knowing who Anthony was, still showed little fear. Dragon Slaying Stick in hand, he wasn't even afraid of Emisphada. He pointed with his heavy iron stick, which emitted the roars of a myriad of mighty beasts, and the two Sacred Order combatants clashed fiercely.

The two only exchanged a single move, and the entire Red Cliff City shook, with a large part of its buildings collapsing.

Standing to the side, Charles shouted, "Why bother with rules against the Beastmen? We must fight quickly and decisively, and we can't let Anthony get hurt in battle. Everyone, attack together!"

The knights of the Brittany Family charged in without a word, joining the battle on Charles's command, with Golden Ram Herolf joining the fight as well. Mama Karen, with a smile on her face, opened up the Dreamscape, and the Old Leopard Man charged in as well, using his speed to divert some of Qiudelo's attention.

While Anthony was confident he could defeat Qiudelo in single combat, he was not one to stick to one-on-one fights, just as he had not refused to join others in attacking Zimmerman back in the day.

Qiudelo had originally thought that with the Dragon Slaying Stick in hand, he would be nearly invincible, if not quite. But never did he imagine a day when he'd be besieged by eight Sacred Order beings. Especially when the leading young knight's strength was comparable to the King of Ten Thousand Lions, Emisphada. Even with the Dragon Slaying Stick, Qiudelo might not be a match for this man, let alone since this fellow had helpers?

He quickly recognized Old Leopard Man Tumishen and cursed through clenched teeth, "Tumishen, you disgrace the name of the Leopard God, siding with humans to besiege your own Beastman kin."

Tumishen, feeling guilty, hastily responded, "I and the Black Dragon have not sided with the humans, but with the future of the Beastmen! I urge you to surrender too, so we can make a grand future together."

Qiudelo was shocked and called out, "The Black Dragon surrendered too? No wonder he tricked me into coming to Red Cliff City."

The Black Dragon, though a Beastman, spoke and acted differently from other Beastmen and shared ideals with the two leaders of the Orc Assassin Alliance, Tumishen and the human-eater Septimius. So, seeing the tide turning against him, he chose to surrender immediately; after all, if things didn't turn out so well for Charles's side, he could just slip away. Being of the Sacred Order meant they had the freedom to come and go as they pleased—who could trap them?

But Qiudelo was different; a true Beastman who believed in the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest. He believed that whether human or Beastman, both were mere passengers in life, that no one could hold onto life forever, that since death was inevitable, many things simply didn't matter.

Just like now, he had decided to fight to the death against the eight formidable enemies, absolutely refusing to give in and surrender.

Soon, all nine of the Sacred Order combatants were airborne, fighting in the sky.

Charles wanted to watch the fight, but he didn't expect a large number of Beastmen to swarm out, only then realizing that he still needed to block the exit of Red Cliff City. Originally, nine Sacred Order beings would have been enough to seal off Red Cliff City, but with Sabastine commanding the fleet, and the other eight battling Qiudelo, only Charles was left.

For a moment, he almost thought he had a "buff for being abandoned by allies."

Charles did have his Knight's Spear with him, but he planted it in the ground and drew the Withering Rose, continuously firing.

This Extraordinary Weapon, while less powerful against Mid-High Tier Transcendents, was perfect against regular Beastmen. Especially because the more enemies it killed, the more Blood Energy Bullets it produced, never running short on ammunition.

After advancing to the High Order, Charles had not really been in combat; now, making a debut, he was covered by Insight, armed with god-like Gunmanship, and holding the absolute advantage of the terrain, he managed to steadfastly defend the exit of Red Cliff City. And occasionally, when Beastmen broke through the bullet blockade, Charles had the Gunmanship of the Wings of Heaven at hand.

For long-range he used the gun, and for close combat, the gun as well. Half an hour passed in a blur, and Charles didn't even know how many Beastmen he had killed.

Caught in a tough battle, he suddenly heard a light laugh. A magic feather arrow fell and killed a charging Beastman, giving Charles a breather. He called out, "Thank you, Sabastine! Help me try to convince these Beastmen to surrender, and transport them back to Dubrovnik."
