Levi had already equipped them with the best-quality Core of the Undead, enough to sustain their combat for a long time.
The sudden appearance of five grand knights startled the forces of Montenegro Mountain. He couldn't comprehend how they had suddenly emerged.
However, he reacted quickly and used the advantage of his larger numbers to surround Levi and the others.
Unfortunately, whether it was Levi or the living dead, they were all tireless killing machines.
With the assistance of the Earl of Blood's army, Levi managed to break through.
Levi successfully reached the Duke of Montenegro's presence.
Boom!
Golden Cross Slash!
Advanced Waves!
Levi unleashed his most powerful killing move!
His sword came down upon the Duke of Montenegro.
The Duke of Montenegro blocked the attack with his greatsword.
In the next moment, he felt as if his giant sword was about to be overpowered.
"An expert!"
The Duke of Montenegro didn't dare to underestimate his opponent. He knew he had encountered a rare master!
"Go to hell!"
Levi swung his sword at the Duke of Montenegro once again.
The Duke of Montenegro swiftly responded.
"Your strength is impressive, one of the best in the kingdom. Though I don't know why you want to assassinate me, since you dared to come, be prepared to face death!" The Duke of Montenegro sneered, and an unparalleled aura burst forth from his body.
In Levi's eyes, this aura was comparable to the Fist of the Empire.
Even the top-notch grand knights were not a match for it.
Simultaneously, the Duke of Montenegro's body began to grow taller and taller, from his normal height to two meters, two meters three, two meters five… up to 2.8 meters.
An indomitable black demon appeared on the battlefield.
"I had intended to save this trump card for the Nation Guarding Divine Sword, but since you're so eager to meet your end, I'll grant your wish!" His body was enveloped in black gas, even submerging his armor.
His back was incredibly broad, resembling a true black whale.
On his back, grotesque bulging muscles formed a ridge, akin to that of a giant whale's spine!
His wide-open mouth exhaled white vapors, resembling venom.
The Duke of Montenegro's monstrous appearance startled even his soldiers.
They hastily retreated from the battlefield.
Seeing this, Levi remained composed, as he knew the Duke of Montenegro had likely perfected the ancient breathing technique, much like Levi's gaseous black scales, which showcased some similarities to a black whale.
The Duke of Montenegro was on the verge of becoming a legendary knight.
Nevertheless, this outcome was well within Levi's expectations.
Spectral figufigures through the void, transforming into concealed black gas projectiles, aimed at the Duke of Montenegro's back.
However, the Duke of Montenegro's dense black gas either deflected or trapped
all of the projectiles, thwarting their attempts to breach his defenses.
Unperturbed, the Duke of Montenegro dismounted from his horse, causing the earth to tremble upon his landing.
"Pale Shadow, have you betrayed me too?" He squinted his eyes, emanating a fierce aura. Only the Pale Shadow possessed such a distinctive attack.
Specter remained silent, offering no response.
The Duke of Montenegro had realized that the person before him had somehow manipulated the Pale Shadow through an unknown spell. "Very well. I'm becoming increasingly intrigued by your secrets."
"Black Sea Infinite Slash!"
Like Levi, the Duke of Montenegro had mastered advanced combat techniques.
This was the Montenegro Mountain family's ancestral "Black Sea Sword Skill"!
It was a perfect-grade sword skill!
The Black Sea Sword Skill was executed with tremendous force, capable of cleaving mountains, opening the heavens and earth, and creating a torrential force that could overturn rivers and seas!
Magic Shark, who stood in the Duke of Montenegro's way, was sent flying by a single sword strike, soaring hundreds of meters before crashing to the ground…
Levi noticed that the Magic Shark's armor had been completely torn apart.
However, he couldn't spare any attention to the Magic Shark at the moment.
As long as he could take down the Duke of Montenegro, everything would be worthwhile.
Golden Cross Slash vs. Black Sea Sword Skill!
The supreme Ripple Force clashed once more against the Duke of Montenegro's greatsword.
The Duke of Montenegro's weapon was also crafted from exceptionally pure mithril.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to withstand the impact of Levi's Frostmourne.
No one dared to approach the battlefield where Levi and the Duke of Montenegro were engaged in their fierce battle. It felt as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was cracking.
Indeed, the Duke of Montenegro was formidable. Among all the people Levi had encountered, he ranked only second to the Fist of the Empire.
Without relying on any seals or spells, Levi could only barely suppress
Montenegro Mountain with his current status as an all-rounded warrior.
However, what Levi didn't know was that the Duke of Montenegro was even more astonished.
One must understand that he had cultivated the Montenegro Mountain family's Montenegro Mountain breathing technique to an unparalleled level, surpassing all predecessors.
Even the White Horse Knight might not be his match.
Yet, he was, being suppressed by a Nameless individual.
The Duke of Montenegro swung his sword, cleaving Specter that attempted to ambush him into two halves.
Levi couldn't help but mourn for Specter. He had only been on duty for a few days and was already rendered useless.
Currently, only Demon Mountain and Demon Hai remained on the battlefield.
Seeing this, Levi pretended to be overwhelmed and quickly withdrew.
The Duke of Montenegro was at the peak of his power. He gazed at the fleeing assassin and chased after him.
This assassin must not be allowed to escape!
Since Montenegro Mountain had already been forced to reveal his strongest form, he couldn't afford to waste this opportunity and had to kill the assassin to prevent any future harassment or assassination attempts.
At this point, Montenegro Mountain had a clear understanding that the betrayal of the Earl of Blood was undoubtedly connected to this assassin.
Moreover, this assassin must have mastered some form of witchcraft, which intrigued the Duke of Montenegro even further!
Levi and the Duke of Montenegro chased each other across the wilderness..
