The First Magic World War

Anthony's body surged with power and he suddenly broke through a barrier, just like his father, the Old Earl of Brittany, stepping into the Twenty-fourth Order, the very peak of the Sacred Order!

The Black Knight's Lance in his hands also manifested the mark of the Black Moon, and when he activated this Sanctified Knight's Spear, a Black Moon appeared behind him, a sign of blessing from the Lady Black Moon!

Anthony even felt that his strength was still increasing, reaching the limit of what humans could achieve.

In comparison, the power of Flame Evil God Anululu was continuously declining.

Although humans couldn't perceive it, almost everyone guessed that the Lady Black Moon had already cut off the channel through which the Flame Evil God was transferring power from the distant New Continent to the Old Continent. Although the Goddess was motionless, this was just an avatar; the true form of the Lady Black Moon might have already taught the Flame Evil God an unforgettable lesson.

Without the support of the power of his main body from the New Continent, this avatar was like fire without a base, water without a source.

Anthony, soaring across the sky, inflicted wounds on the avatar of the Flame Evil God Anululu with each strike, wounds which the deity was healing more and more slowly.

Kratos, at this moment, envied in secret and thought to himself, "If it were the Era of Radiance, it would surely be The Lord of Radiance who came, and I could step onto the Twenty-fourth Order just like Anthony! If I could just experience the power of the peak of the Sacred Order in advance, I could surely break through to this realm on my own strength several years later."

The once Five Greats of the Fars Empire's Three Heroes are now divided into three levels.

The Old Earl of Brittany stands out alone, having stepped into the ranks of the ultimate powerhouses of the Old Continent.

Count Galanode and Princess Akso, though slightly less capable, are still among the top powerhouses of the Old Continent.

Kratos and Midaphis fiercely chased after them; although they still couldn't compare to the Old Earl of Brittany, they were now on par with Count Galanode and Princess Akso!

Duke Robin, Duke Mosley, and Duchess Mesu were a notch below; they were older, their potential exhausted, but were still of the strong segment of the Sacred Order on the Old Continent, with few rivals!

In fact, those of the Sacred Order that Charles usually saw, such as the Black Dragon, Golden Ram Herolf, and Qiudelo, were not active on various battlefields, those who were really active were like Vigo, of the lower segment of the Nineteenth Order!

Charles lay sprawled, his brain due to high-speed functioning for slapping the Goddess's little butt, had completely crashed. However, this angle just happened to be perfect for enjoying a panoramic view of the battle in the sky.

The eleven Bloody Vortexes within him kept inhaling and exhaling Blood Energy; Bloody Glory was operating automatically, but what was driving Bloody Glory was not Charles himself, nor his subconscious, but the Blood Spirit Rhino within the body of the Flame Evil God.

At this moment, Charles's mind was completely empty, he thought of nothing, nor did he consider the abnormality.

Anthony, shrouded in a rich mist, suddenly saw through a flaw in the Flame Evil God's avatar. The Black Knight's Lance in his hand shone with a black moonlight, like a black meteor, crashing towards the avatar of Anululu. The Knight's Spear burst forth with a rending force, slashing open half of the Flame Giant's body.

The strike dealt heavy damage; even as the Evil God Anululu bellowed loudly, it seemed incapable of repairing itself for a moment. With a single arm extended toward the sky, a ferocious flame tornado that had pierced the heavens actually reversed its course, being grasped in its hand, and was fiercely thrust outward.

Locked in by some force, Antonio found himself unable to dodge for a moment. Facing this earth-shattering strike, this loyal knight of the Black Moon Goddess saturated himself in mist, with a Black Moon emerging behind him, and charged forward without a hint of fear.

The Lady Black Moon, who had been quietly observing the battle, raised her delicate hand and gently tapped once.

Antonio felt an immense column of energy, larger than a mountain, softly pushing against his back; then it suddenly surged in power, propelling him forward at a speed rivaling thunder, soundly blasting through Anululu's flame tornado and piercing straight through the massive body of the Flame Evil God.

Though Antonio had hit the gigantic avatar of the Evil God, which was as vast as a mountain range, multiple times, he had never managed to inflict damage. But this time was different. The strike, driven by the Goddess, pierced the Evil God Anululu like a needle through a balloon, causing his power to leak out wildly.

He could no longer maintain the giant's form, instead burning into a mass of flames.

Gazing upon the Evil God, whose mountainous body had been shattered by this strike, Antonio's heart surged with emotion—for he had never imagined that he could kill a deity! Even though this victory wasn't by his own strength, but with the help of the Goddess's divine might, the act of killing a deity was still just that, even if it was only an avatar of an Evil God and aided by divine power. This accomplishment would still be forever etched in the Brittany Family's glorious history.

As Antonio saw Charles lying on the ground, capable of reveling in victory, he suddenly recalled that his own battle efforts against the avatar of the Evil God might only be summarized in history with a short mention.

It could never compare to his sister Anne's story, which would be thoroughly passed down and likely spawn countless versions.

Having just achieved the grand feat of "slaying an Evil God," Antonio still felt his heart a bit congested.

The Goddess, who had been so peaceful, suddenly lifted her hand and gently twisted. The fiery avatar of the Evil God, originally bursting into flames, began to contract and collapse as though being "swept away" by some force, eventually shrinking to a single point before falling to the ground.

The Lady Black Moon raised her left foot and lightly stepped down, creating a pathway made of countless twinkling lights that extended from the boundless heights above. She stepped onto this illuminated road at a leisurely pace, returning to Her divine realm.

Everyone who witnessed this spectacle was deeply shaken to their core.

Only the most lucid Old Lizardman, floating down gracefully after a while, returned smiling with a man whose fate was uncertain, as well as a bracelet in tow. He placed Gareth on the ground and handed the bracelet to Charles, saying, "Head of the McAllen family, I have retrieved your Blood Spirit Rhinoceros for you."

Charles took the Blood Spirit Rhinoceros, about to retract the Bloody Vortex in his right arm, when he suddenly noticed a small anomaly. Theoretically, the Blood Spirit Rhinoceros should transform into a weapon once a Blood Core was embedded within it, differing based on the Blood Core of the Vampire race inserted, even though the original Alchemist Master had never completed this design.

After the loss of its original Blood Core, even with a new one, it still required remaking to regain its power.

But now, there were seven slots for embedding on the Blood Spirit Rhinoceros, two of which already had "cores" embedded; one was the Sacred Order Blood Core from the Duolian Clan, and the other was a dark red like flames, still faintly wrapped in swirling mist…
