The First Magic World War

At the moment of life and death, Charles' hand was exceptionally steady.

This shot hit the arrogant knight of the South Serif Restoration squarely.

The Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullet could kill even High-Level Transcendents, let alone this arrogant knight who wasn't one. Even with the Proof of War and the Blood Butcher's empowerment, he couldn't withstand a single Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullet.

Both armies, countless people witnessing with their own eyes, one side's morale was sky-high with knights charging, while the other side casually picked them off with rifle shots.

In the end, Alchemy prevailed over the Blood Butcher.

With one shot, Charles blew away the upper body of this arrogant knight.

The warhorse, carrying its master's lower body, still galloped for dozens of meters before coming to a confused halt beside Charles.

The Blood Butcher could turn every part of the body into a weapon, with muscles and bones as tough as steel and formidable stamina allowing combat until the end of life. It could easily fend off ordinary bullets, but when faced with a Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullet crafted through Alchemy, this tragic demise was all that awaited.

Even though he'd killed the enemy cavalry commander, Charles' situation hadn't improved at all.

In the center of the battlefield, with charging knights ahead—now leaderless but showing no sign of stopping—and his own knighthood behind, if he fled back in panic, the Westwind Knights would probably not support him and would likely collapse even sooner…

Charles took a deep breath and shouted, "Charge! Charge for me! Kill these people of Baron!"

He waited a moment. If his men didn't move at all, or if their charge was weak and disorganized, he'd have to abandon everything and flee using the Quickness Technique and Spiritual Spider Technique.

But contrary to Charles' expectations, the Westwind Knights yelled out and actually began to charge.

Being someone born in peacetime, he couldn't comprehend how killing the enemy commander on the battlefield—especially in such an overwhelming manner—could boost morale so tremendously!?

Most importantly, most of his men were prisoners and gang members; they had scant military discipline, but in a favorable situation, they could still fight reasonably well. After all, whether prisoners or gang members, they had really fought before, even in street brawls; they were somewhat experienced in fighting. Stay tuned for updates on empire

Once the Westwind Knights began charging, Charles steadied himself, raised his left arm to brace the rifle, and started shooting continuously at the enemy's main force knights.

As the two armies clashed, Charles had already killed seven or eight men. He hurriedly unloaded the Magic-Breaking Bombshell Bullet, shoved the rifle inside his collar, and switched to the Vampiric Hand Axe and the Blood Rose for close-range combat.

Though both Extraordinary Weapons were ill-suited for the battlefield, as a Sixth Order Transcendent, Charles could still wield them with immense lethality.

Before the battle, Charles had wanted to hide the fact that he practiced Bloody Glory, but now that the fight had begun, there was no need for secrecy. He unleashed Bloody Glory in full force, and he didn't forget to deliver an extra blow to the severed lower half of the arrogant knight.

Even though his upper half was blown away and his life force nearly depleted, every little bit helped.

If it was a direct confrontation on the battlefield, the Westwind Knights, despite numbering three thousand, had low combat effectiveness, and their morale was questionable. Facing nearly two hundred elite knights of Baron, they were more likely to be on the losing end.

If things had gone as Charles had planned before the battle, forming a solid defensive formation with rifles and handguns to hold steady, the knights of Baron might have evaluated their losses and possibly retreated on their own, never engaging in battle.

After all, knights breaking through a solid defense would inevitably suffer losses, and not everyone is a knight equipped with protective Fighting Spirit.

But he had not anticipated that while he was thinking of deceiving the enemy, he would be lured out of the battle by the enemy's commander from the very start, triggering a desperate attack.

The battle tilted towards a situation that no one could have anticipated, and once it began, it was unstoppable.

During the charge of the Baron cavalry, Charles used the Anti-Space Sniper Rifle to "pick off" several knights who were at the forefront, almost completely annihilating the cavalry's Transcendents, which also caused the momentum of these elite Baron cavalry to falter again and again, making their charge outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

Taoles had not expected that his first time on the battlefield would be this kind of fight. Miss Sumei, with her profound family learning, did not use any offensive magic but instead took out a card named "Gale" and used it against the people of Baron just as the two armies were about to clash.

When a strong wind appeared on the battlefield, bringing with it dust and sand, the people of Baron involuntarily closed their eyes.

Knight who closed their eyes on the battlefield were as good as walking Military Merit Medals.

Within Charles's Knighthood, there were two other Transcendents, Yellow Bear and Philedrica.

Although Yellow Bear was only a First Rank Transcendent, as a demon hunter who used the Heart Core of a demon bear during his ascension, he was incredibly tough and immensely strong. On the battlefield, he was as effective as the Blood Butcher, but he was currently gathering the defeated troops and was still behind.

But Philedrica, a Leopard People girl of high Intermediate rank, a Tenth Grade orc assassin, had real combat power even higher than that of Charles, far surpassing Yellow Bear. On the battlefield, she switched to a Knight's Spear and fought with such formidable bravery that she rarely met an adversary who could withstand a single blow.

The accumulation of numerous conditions allowed what was originally the weaker side to unleash a one-sided slaughter, and in an instant, nearly half of the nearly two hundred Baron knights were killed or wounded.

Charles killed several people in succession and simply put away the Vampiric Hand Axe, relying on the Asiluo Clan swordsmanship to move through the battlefield like a ghost. His Magic Stabbing Sword was like a venomous snake, claiming countless souls.

With a clear ringing sound, Charles's rapier was blocked for the first time on the battlefield by someone wielding a shield, who parried the Magic Stabbing Sword and then hacked down with an axe, the force mighty and heavy.

Charles nimbly dodged, counterattacking with his sword to kill another Baron knight, he shouted, "Blood Butcher?"

The man did not say a word, his axe and shield whirling wildly.

He possessed immense strength and although he wielded a heavy weapon that was not an Extraordinary Weapon, he managed to hold off the Blood Rose.

After several exchanges, Charles had the upper hand, but still could not break through the opponent's solid defense, which was like a tin can. His swordsmanship techniques changed over and over, trying to find a flaw, but the Blood Butcher was also a Mid-Level Transcendent. If it wasn't for the battlefield, Charles would have many tricks up his sleeve, but surrounded by enemies on all sides, he could no longer adapt as easily.

Charles changed his sword technique from the Dawn Fire to Dawn Sky, his sword light shimmering like a sky full of silver stars, penetrating everywhere, but there were no openings to be found on his enemy.

Charles killed three Baron knights who had rushed to help their comrade, and suddenly Bloody Glory began to simmer. Inside the Bloody Vortex on his left arm, the runes shaped like a rapier flickered subtly, faintly gaining an additional layer of colorless light.

At the same time, Blood Rose's blade also spat out a pale golden aura no longer than a few fingers, retracting and extending unpredictably like a serpent flicking its tongue.

Charles shouted loudly, his longsword gracefully slashing down. The Blood Butcher, wielding the iron shield and huge axe, tried to deflect this stroke, but with the blade now coated in that pale golden aura, it became exceedingly sharp, slicing through the man and his shield as one.

Charles sheathed the Blood Rose, only to discover that there were no longer any standing enemies on the battlefield.

Enemy corpses lay everywhere as the Westwind soughed.
