Legacy of the Dark Sage

Kyran immediately recognized Breira among the ones falling from above. He also saw some of the automatons he acquired and a few knights he did not recognize.

Breira also sensed his connection with Kyran returning as soon as Mo destroyed the room they were in. Following the reestablishing of their connection, he immediately felt the Sigil's Blessing taking effect.

[Master! Mo has returned.]

Was the first thing Breira told Kyran. However, he did not tell this because he was not confident in dealing with him. Instead, he said it to alert the latter in case a change in their current plan had to be made.

Even before Breira disclosed Mo's arrival, Kyran already sensed a powerful aura among the ones coming down from above and more or less guessed who it was. Besides that, he saw Mo's imposing figure, holding a gigantic dual-blade battle axe, while he used the debris around them as a foothold as he descended.

Breira and the others did the same, but Mo's figure was truly eye-catching, which was why Kyran spotted him quickly. As a matter of fact, Kyran also watched Mo cleave the gigantic battle axe horizontally toward Breira and a sword and shield-wielder automaton like he was waving a regularly weighed battle axe and not one that weighed more than a ton.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As Mo cleaved his Divine Armament, every debris it collided with exploded into bits. Just from this, it was enough to determine how much strength his battle axe possessed.

Before Kyran could respond to Breira, the gigantic automaton was already on the move, stomping its huge feet right at him. Kyran's eyes flashed as he used the Dragon Steps to move out of the way. He then abruptly stopped the moment he arrived at his desired location because three automatons were already there, waiting for him.

These three automatons wielded a great sword, similarly designed as the automaton that led the first fifty automatons they encountered.

BAM!

The three automaton smashed their great swords to the spot where Kyran had just been, while he jumped just in time to evade them.

Without even giving Kyran a breather, two automatons wearing gaiters jumped with their leg raised above their heads and performed an axe kick.

The female spirit, quietly spectating everything that Kyran did while atop his head, let out a gasp, seeing the three incoming kicks. After all, if the axe kick connected, it would be her who would suffer first.

None of that happened as Kyran returned his swords to his pouch and raised his hands in time to grab each of the automatons' calves.

Doing such a thing while someone was about to do an axe kick was quite tricky. If done incorrectly, the person's soles would still connect. Besides that, the one catching the calf would have to bear the brunt of the unreleased force of the axe kick, resulting in his hand and forearm going numb.

But Kyran did not experience any of that because his body could easily negate the force from those kicks. To him, the force that slammed onto his arms was akin to a small flick.

After catching the calves of the automatons, Kyran somersaulted, taking the automatons along with him and throwing them to three automatons approaching in front.

Meanwhile, Breira and the sword and shield-wielder automaton used some of the debris near them as a foothold to evade Mo's attack. As if the two were of the same mind, they did not try to keep their distance from the battle axe and instead jumped right onto it.

When Mo saw this, he growled in anger and immediately willed his Divine Armament to turn back to its original size.

As the battle axe shrunk in size, Breira and the sword and shield-wielder automaton were pulled toward Mo.

Contrary to Mo's expectation of the two deciding to get off the battle axe once he retracted its size, the latter two ran the length of the battle axe's retracting shaft toward the former.

Mo's eyes narrowed.

"Very good. It appears the courage you found applies not only to your decision to betray your King but also to the way you fight. COME!"

Mo unsummoned his Divine Armament, forcing Breira and the automaton to jump and use the debris around them to get near him again.

"Do not be blinded by the pact you have with King Aran, Mo!" Breira shouted while he jumped and sent out a punch at Mo. "Just think about a little. You know a knight cannot break the pact by himself!"

Mo received Breira's punch with a punch of his own, "Are you telling me that you are forced out of the pact?"

Others listening to them would have wondered how Mo arrived at that conclusion. But if one knew how definite the pact all aides to the King had, they would understand that only the King had the ability to remove his pact from an aide.

Breira was sent flying backward as Mo's punch overpowered his. Seeing this, the sword and shield-wielder automaton launched himself forward and helped Breira regain his bearing.

The two stepped on a large piece of debris before preparing to jump on other pieces of debris.

"Is it not because you acted against the King's will, which is why you are forced out of the pact?" Mo continued as he propelled himself toward Breira after stepping on a piece of debris. He carried a terrifying momentum that shattered the debris as soon as he launched himself forward.

"Mo— ugh...!"

Breira barely got off the debris he and the automaton landed when Mo's body slammed straight at him. Breira could only grit his teeth while thinking how hard it was to fight another while airborne.

Looking at how Mo could continue to attack imposingly regardless of the current condition of their surroundings, Breira felt aggrieved.

'Breira. What are you doing?'

Breira's ears perked up as his new Master's voice rang in his head.

What was he doing? He was trying his best to fight Mo.

Breira did not say this aloud, but he did not have to. If he did, he would have made a big fool of himself because rather than Kyran saying those words as a question, he actually said that scoldingly.

'Remember, you're my Sigil. And right now, you're within my range!'

Breira's eyes widened as realization struck him. That was right. He was no longer an aide who relied solely on his own strengths to deal with the King's enemies. He now had a new master, who was gracious enough to bestow them a blessing whenever they were within range.

"Your death will serve as a warning to every knight that dared betray the King!" Mo shouted as he raised his hand toward two huge pieces of debris near them. He then attracted their momentum and Breira's, wanting the latter to be sandwiched between the two.

Mo also increased the attraction, which made the weights of these two pieces of debris tripled. After that, he prepared to separate himself from Breira.

It was at this point that Breira was reminded of his new identity. A faint silver glow appeared on his eyes as the Sigil's blessings came into full effect.

After Mo separated himself from Breira, the two huge pieces of debris came hurling and smashed right onto the latter.

BOOM!

The debris exploded, sending ripples of the shockwave from the impact in every direction.

Mo did not stay to watch, though. As soon as he landed on a piece of debris, he turned his attention to the shield-wielding black armored soldier.

By this time, they were already close to the ground. As a matter of fact, some of the Legendary-level knights and automatons had already landed and resumed their fights.

Mo could not help but frown when he saw the black armored soldier looking over at him without any signs of rushing over. It looked as if the latter had given up on attacking and had decided to just stand on the piece of debris and wait until he landed on the ground.

"You're next," Mo declared, ultimately pushing all other thoughts he had aside.

But as Mo prepared to launch himself toward the black armored soldier, he sensed an incoming danger from behind.

"This—!"

BAM!

"—ugh!"

Breira shoulder-slammed Mo from behind, sending the latter crashing to the ground.

BOOM!

Mo crashed to the ground, destroying the ground as he got buried a few feet deep.

"My death?" Breira snorted. "Don't write me off just yet. We're not done, Mo."

BOOM!

The ground exploded as Mo rushed out from it and flew straight at Breira.

"You're getting quite full of yourself!" Mo growled, summoning his Divine Armament as he came flying toward Breira.

FOOOM!

"Wha—?"

"Ngh...!"

Before Mo could approach Breira, an ear-deafening explosion sounded, sending the whole surroundings to quake frantically.

"My decision to come here has been correct."

A soft-spoken male voice resounded throughout the place.

Everyone, including the automatons, stopped in their tracks after hearing the man speak.

After which, an invisible force seemed to sweep through them as the man said, "Dimension."
