Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 511 - 252: Tier Two Peak Showdown, Shifting Between Reality and Illusion_2
It should be noted that most Temple Knights, if placed in the outside world, are esteemed talents, ranked at the forefront of the Tier Two Celestial List.
To stand out in such a powerful organization, they must have their own unique advantages, which cannot be measured by common standards.
Fortunately, the Knight Commander himself is only at the Mid-Tier Two stage. If it were an Elite Knight at the Late Tier Two stage, temporarily eroded by the Gu Bulieyang Curse and forcibly initiating an Undying Battle, even the aged Grand Priest would need to retreat first.
With only a Mid-Tier Two rank, as long as he withstands the invincibility duration of the Undying Battle, under the backlash of the overstrained state, the Knight Commander would lose even the ability to continue moving.
At this moment, the Grand Priest is locating cover to retreat and reminding the nearby Middle and Early Stage Priests to distance themselves from their respective opponents.
To avoid becoming the next target of the Knight Commander.
However, the Knight Commander, turned into a killing machine, has already locked onto the Grand Priest as his target.
In the Undying Battle state, his mind is exceptionally clear, knowing well that only by killing the Grand Priest can the Knight Order reverse the fate of being surrounded and annihilated, allowing other knight squads to successfully break through.
Otherwise, even if he killed several ordinary Middle and Early Stage Tier Two Priests, it would have a negligible impact on the overall situation.
As soon as the Knight Commander falls, the Grand Priest can easily deal with the remaining Apprentice Knights and the other two squad leaders leading the breakout.
And the Grand Priest, naturally aware of the killing intent emanating from the Knight Commander, understands it as a feeling of locking onto prey, unyielding until death.
But the Grand Priest, imbued with Fiery Sun Divine Power, wouldn’t feel afraid due to this.
He is like a walking miniature sun on earth, radiating immense light and heat from his entire being.
The energy fluctuations on his surface have long surpassed a hundred degrees, resembling ignited flames, with extremely high temperatures on the outer layers manifesting yellow-white scorching hues, while the blue-orange halo at the core circulates at lower temperatures, supplying continuous fuel to the exterior.
As soon as they clash, the Fiery Sun Curse Energy overflowing from the Grand Priest’s body will swiftly spread like snake venom throughout the Knight Commander’s entire being.
Even if he ignores destruction in the Undying Battle state, he’d ultimately perish as his body tissues suffer extensive necrosis, with the Scorching Sun Curse accumulating to a critical level, leading to his body exploding.
Every second the Knight Commander delays now infinitely increases his chances of eventual death.
The Grand Priest, aware of this, must cautiously avoid being pinned down by his opponent, achieving a life-for-life exchange. He must strategically retreat to minimize damage.
Fortunately, despite entering the Undying Battle state, the Knight Commander’s power ceiling hasn’t increased significantly; he merely ignores the spreading of the Fiery Sun Curse within his body.
Simultaneously, he no longer fears the continued invasion of Fiery Sun Divine Power during subsequent clashes.
This allows him to attack without any reservations.
But even as the Grand Priest steps into old age, his Evolution Level at 29 is genuine.
Moreover, he’s a renown Tier Two Limit Strong Person, having reached levels far above his peers Bai Ye and Oasis Bishop.
He can still briefly unleash his peak youthful state if he overdraws his life force.
Coupled with various status enhancements from Fiery Sun Possession, he can burst out with subsonic speeds exceeding 300 meters per second instantly.
Even if brute force cannot contend with the Knight Commander, he can use his speed advantage to evade the attacks.
And the subsonic burst appears to ordinary people like teleportation; 300 meters in one second, 30 meters in the blink of an eye, enough to dodge attacks from any direction.
Thus, both parties engage in pursuit and evasion, continuously shifting their appearances amidst the ruins of Ancient Zhengzhou City.
During this time, the Knight Commander, relying on precognition and reaction speed, successfully wielding his spear to strike the evading Grand Priest, only to have it blocked beforehand, causing no direct severe injury.
But persistent overdrawing of life also caused a decline in the Grand Priest’s condition.
While the Knight Commander, empowered by the Undying Battle, hasn’t shown any signs of decline in his invincibility state.
Until after they clashed dozens of times within twenty seconds, the Grand Priest suddenly sensed through contact that the Holy Spring’s power within the Great Knight was gathering toward the Undying Holy Armor’s head.
Aiming to maintain consciousness clarity, fighting till the last moment.
However, this means releasing all reserves without holding back, indicating no intention to repair the body post Undying Battle state.
Thus, regardless of the final outcome, the Knight Commander has decided to sacrifice himself in exchange for the survival chances of others.
Upon realizing this, the Grand Priest’s expression turns grave.
Because this means the duration of the Knight Commander’s Undying Battle might extend further.
Swift action is necessary to deliver a fatal blow, increasing the consumption of the Undying Battle state, quickly ending the fight.
With a change in strategy, the Grand Priest promptly initiates a counterattack.
The offensive strategy is straightforward; given the Great Knight has relinquished survival opportunities, relying slowly on the Fiery Sun Curse to kill him doesn’t yield any results.
Infusing a dying person with a slow-acting poison might stimulate them, making them more active.
Thus, what’s needed isn’t infusing Fiery Sun Divine Power but directly detonating the curse, igniting the Life Source Material.
Although the Fiery Sun Energy within the Great Knight hasn’t yet spread to spontaneous combustion levels, forcibly igniting the effect may not fulfill expectations.
But it can inflict substantial damage!
Moreover, forcibly igniting the Fire of Life can only be achieved by a Tier Three Divine Envoy, which is one of Yang Nie’s instincts, rescuing people from the fatigue of life and death.
