I, the Knight King, wield my sword for my myriad subjects.

It spread its wings covered in blue feathers, gathered ice elements to form several ice cones, and launched an attack on the one-eyed wolf from the side.

The one-eyed wolf reacted quickly, turning its head and using its wind-elemental-encased claws to sever all the ice spikes.

At that moment, Arthur seized the opportunity and swung his sword at the one-eyed wolf's unsuspecting forearm.

Amplified by the Flame Wave, the sword once again cleaved through the airflow barrier on the one-eyed wolf's body, tearing open a deep bloody gash.

The one-eyed wolf felt excruciating pain, but did not turn around.

Instead, it manipulates the flow of wind elements to unleash another second-tier wind magic it possesses, "Wind Strike".

next moment.

The airflow barrier that had been torn at the one-eyed wolf's wound did not heal; instead, it was compressed.

The one-eyed wolf compressed an air cannon and fired it at Arthur.

Because they were too close, Arthur had no time to dodge and could only grip the sword with both hands and raise it to defend himself.

However, the air cannon at close range was so powerful that it caused Arthur excruciating pain in his hand after hitting him.

Then, he lost his balance and staggered back a few steps.

At this moment, the one-eyed wolf turned its head again and pounced on Arthur, who was off balance.

But at this moment, the Frost Raven King also unleashed the second-tier ice magic "Body of Frost," which hardened its body with ice elements.

Using its hardened body, it launched a dive attack from the sky at the one-eyed wolf.

They sensed the threat posed by the Frosty Raven King.

The one-eyed wolf had to stop its attack on Arthur and instead fend off the Frost Raven King's icy dive.

King Frosty Raven resolved Arthur's crisis in time.

The one-eyed wolf unleashed another second-tier wind magic, "Wind Strike," which neutralized the Frost Raven King's swooping attack.

Next.

Arthur joins the battle, fighting alongside the Frostraven King against the One-Eyed Wolf.

After ten rounds.

Arthur pushed his life force to its limit, unleashing its full potential.

The flame waveguide on his body began to flicker like a candle in the wind.

After thwarting another attack from the Frost Raven King, the one-eyed wolf sensed Arthur's declining health.

at this time.

Its stamina was also largely depleted in resisting the attack of the third-tier Frost Raven King.

But it realized that it had finally gotten its chance to tear this human in half and devour him!

The one-eyed wolf could clearly sense:

The human in front of me has exhausted his life force, and his current combat strength is probably not even as good as that of an ordinary soldier on the border battlefield of the Western Wilderness.

just now.

It can release the endless hatred that has been building up in its heart by killing and devouring this human offspring that carries the blood of its nemesis.

By then.

It no longer needed to fight the troublesome third-tier Frost Raven King in the sky.

If it tries to escape, this ice-type magical beast of the same level has no way to catch it.

The moment the one-eyed wolf had this thought, it began its final pounce.

It first unleashed a second-tier wind magic spell, "Wind Strike," at the Frost Raven King, who had also exhausted most of its strength.

"Cuck!"

Frosty Raven King was entrusted by its master, Leon, with the mission of protecting Arthur, and it cared more about Arthur's condition than the One-Eyed Wolf.

This momentary lapse in concentration caused it to be struck by "Wind Strike," leaving it briefly stunned.

next moment.

The one-eyed wolf launched a final pounce on Arthur.

In its eyes, this human, whose life was as fragile as a candle flickering in the wind, was already a torn and bloody mess.

Arthur seemed to be just as the one-eyed wolf had thought, his life force exhausted. He did not resist, but just stood there blankly, waiting for death to come.

As a result, the one-eyed wolf and Arthur grew closer and closer.

10 m.

5 m.

2 m.

1 m.

But as the one-eyed wolf approached Arthur, it abandoned its guard and opened its blood-red maw toward the human knight.

Arthur laughed:

"One-eyed wolf, you've been tricked!"

At this moment, Arthur issued a command to the Knight Lord System in his mind:

"Spend 100 Virtue Points to redeem the Blessing of Valor!"

[Virtue Points -100, Host receives the blessing of valor.]

[Blessing of Valor: Level Lv.1, consumes 100 Virtue Points, grants a battle buff of infinite stamina and infinite health, lasting for one minute.]

Chapter 16 "The Blessing of Heroism," A Minute of True Manliness

When the "Blessing of Valor" was bestowed upon the frail and dying Arthur, a miracle occurred that the one-eyed wolf could not comprehend.

Arthur's depleted life force was restored to its peak state in an instant.

This caught the one-eyed wolf, who was leaping towards Arthur in mid-air, completely off guard.

At this moment, look at Arthur.

The "Flame Lion Breathing Technique" is activated again, and the combat skill "Blood Boiling" is released simultaneously.

Arthur once again stepped into the temporary Iron Rank realm.

Its vigorous life force transformed into a powerful wave of fire without delay, instantly enveloping Arthur's limbs and torso, providing him with a power boost.

But the crimson flames enveloping Arthur burned more fiercely than ever before.

This is thanks to the blessing of "Heroic Blessing," Arthur's last trump card in this battle, which grants him one minute of unlimited stamina and life force.

It turns out that Arthur had already made this plan when he began his confrontation with the one-eyed wolf.

After two weeks of basic training, his virtue points were restored to 195 by practicing the chivalrous virtues of "humility" and "justice".

With 195 virtue points, Arthur can redeem another blessing of virtue.

Arthur had been using the Knight Lord system for over a month, and he already knew the effects of the eight different virtues.

Therefore, after making the decision to rapidly unleash the potential of life force to gain powerful combat strength in a short period of time.

Arthur then decided which virtue's blessing he could exchange for to break the deadlock and defeat the one-eyed wolf.

That was the "heroic blessing" that he called himself a "one-minute man".

Back to the present.

Arthur put himself into the game, using his most genuine, near-death appearance to lure the one-eyed wolf into his trap.

The one-eyed wolf was deceived by Arthur's perilous appearance and launched a desperate attack on him, abandoning all defenses.

But in Arthur's eyes, the one-eyed wolf's attack was full of flaws.

After being granted unlimited strength and vitality, Arthur raised his sword again, bent down, and kicked backward.

next moment.

Arthur launched himself forward, charging towards the one-eyed wolf leaping through the air.

Arthur adopted an offensive strategy, continuously slashing with his sword, each strike aimed at a weakness in the opponent's attack posture.

The one-eyed wolf was caught off guard by Arthur's miraculous recovery of vitality and had no time to prepare.

Its attack was thus interrupted in mid-air by Arthur's continuous slashes.

Soon, both of them landed from the air.

At this moment, the one-eyed wolf had several deep, bone-revealing wounds all over its body, from which blood flowed incessantly.

The one-eyed wolf began to pant heavily. Although it could not comprehend the miracle that had happened to Arthur, its hatred for Arthur drove it to retaliate.

Its single, slender, eerie green pupil locked onto Arthur once more.

Immediately, the one-eyed wolf opened its blood-red maw, condensed wind elements, and released a wind blade, preparing to shoot it at Arthur.

But at this time.

The Frost Raven King, who was previously misled by Arthur's critical condition and struck by "Wind Strike," has also recovered from his paralysis.

Fueled by its rage against the one-eyed wolf, it unleashed the second-tier ice magic "Ice Body" once more, launching a blizzard attack.

They sensed the Frosty Raven King's anger and threat.

The one-eyed wolf had no choice but to change the direction of its wind blades and shoot them at the Frost Raven King.

"boom!"

Thus, the enormous wind blade, over a meter long, collided with the Frost Raven King, which was swooping down in ice, generating a violent shockwave.

The shockwave shattered the Frost Raven King's icy body, turning it into countless tiny ice spikes that rained down on the ground.

The one-eyed wolf had no time to dodge and had to endure the secondary damage from the Frost Raven King's ice spikes.

But the rapid offensive has not stopped.

Arthur did not leave the ice spike field created by the Frostraven King. He let the ice spikes pierce his armor and cut his skin, but he still drew his sword and charged at the one-eyed wolf.

See this scene.

The one-eyed wolf was convinced that the human knight had gone mad, attacking him so recklessly.

He wasn't a knight; he was more like a berserker intent on fighting to the death!

at this moment.

For the first time, the one-eyed wolf felt fear towards the human knight, a feeling separate from hatred for his bloodline.

When he realized that he was actually afraid of a Black Iron Knight.

The one-eyed wolf felt that its dignity as a third-tier magical beast had been ruthlessly trampled upon.

Its clan was once the overlord of this land, led by a fourth-tier wind wolf.

The glory of once dominating the outskirts of the Warcraft Forest is still vivid in my mind.

However, all this beauty was destroyed by a human knight.

Thirty years ago.

That human knight almost single-handedly killed the leader of the tribe he had once followed and annihilated more than two-thirds of his tribe's brethren.

In that battle, it was struck by the aftershock of a human knight's sword and permanently lost one of its eyes.

But it was lucky enough to survive and escape back to the depths of the Monster Forest.

As one of the surviving elite wind wolves, it became the new alpha wolf of the pack.

But from that time onwards...

Its race lost its dominant position, and the monster races that had once bullied them no longer feared them and began to drive them away.

Therefore, it could only eke out a living and develop its population within its shrinking territory.

Over the past thirty years.

Every time it rests, the sword scars left around its eyes remind it of the nightmare of that massacre and of that human knight.
