Chapter 178: The Knight and the Sword Master

"Divine skills!"

For this kind of knightly ultimate power that even Her Royal Highness Princess Alicia has not mastered, Karl can't help but be fascinated.

Seventeen kinds of divine skills, which is a lot of them, but in addition to the most ancient seven kings and the three great emperors who have been deified, only seven knights have mastered divine skills as pure knights, and they have touched this power that surpasses people and is close to gods.

"I wonder if there are any knights of the present generation who have this kind of power?"

Karl sighed longingly, the battle that had just defeated the Papal Knight and the Night's Watch had made him gradually taste the joy of having power, so he instinctively paid attention to this peak power that belonged to the knight.

"Of course, there is!"

Lady Loriss said elegantly: "The undefeated Thugrati, the second knight of the Baiotin Empire, is the one who has mastered the Ninth Divine Skill to break the slash!"

"Second Horseman?"

Since the knights of the round table of the Knight King, the knights have liked to compete and rank, just like gamers are obsessed with the combat power rankings, and the knights who like to boast of their strength are also keen to compete with the knights' combat power, and they have to distinguish the first, second and third.

This custom even reached its peak in the era of the Glory Emperor, who, in the name of the Empire, bestowed on the knights of the town kingdom the honor of knights with the rank of "first" and "second". This custom continues to this day, and has been inherited by several major empires, especially the Baiotin Empire, which attaches the most importance to the ranking of imperial knights, which is almost the real strength ranking of the knights of the town country.

However, what makes Carl curious is that the second knight has mastered the magic skills, so what about the first knight who is still ranked on it?

"There is no First Horseman!"

As if seeing Karl's doubts, Lady Loris smiled and said, "Although the emperor of the Baiotin Empire wants to bestow the glory of the first knight of Shugrati, this undefeated knight who has defeated countless strong enemies insists on calling himself the second knight. So now there is no first knight in the Baiotin Empire. ”

This is a very famous allusion on the continent, there is no doubt that the undefeated Thugrati is one of the strongest knights in the world, he always maintains a comfortable demeanor in battle, never makes mistakes, never makes mistakes, and can even accurately say before the battle that he will defeat the enemy after the first move.

Since Xiu Gratti became famous, no challenger has ever been able to hold a thousand moves under him, and even the successor of the strongest challenger, the previous generation of "Dawn Sword Saint", who holds the "Dawn Sacred Sword" and is known as the legendary powerhouse "Dawn Knight" who is most likely to seize the title of the next generation of "Sword Saint", was also defeated by Xiu Grati in the 999th move.

For a long time, people believed that the undefeated Thugrati was the strongest knight in the continent, and many people even used it as a benchmark for combat power, ranking those Heavenly Destiny Knights who had already stood at the peak of knighthood by the time they had defeated other knights.

However, Thuglati firmly rejected the title of the first knight, because above it, there is another insurmountable peak, that is, counterattacking as a commoner, not allegiance to any king and lord, not accepting any titles, mastering the seventh divine skill "God Extermination", not a knight but recognized by all knights as the strongest contemporary "Sword Saint".

"After the end of the era of the 'Dawn Sword Saint', almost everyone thought that the undefeated Xiugratti would defeat all the competitors and seize the title of 'Sword Saint', but they didn't expect that Shugrati was unexpectedly defeated by the 'Lightless Sword Saint' who had only advanced to the Heavenly Mandate Knight at the age of three hundred!"

Speaking of the legendary stories of these legendary figures, Lady Loriss was obviously also quite interested: "It's a pity that even if His Excellency Shugrati has mastered the Ninth Divine Technique Heavy Slash, he will not be able to defeat His Excellency the Sword Saint who also has the Seventh Divine Technique Divine Slash......"

"Juggernaut" is the honorific title of the strongest warrior in the human world, and in every era, only one warrior can win the title of the strongest person in the human world to some extent after defeating all the strong and defeating all opponents without dispute.

Although there are mages, priests, wizards and other spellcasters, the "Sword Saint" may not be the strongest human in the true sense, but every generation of strong people who have won the title of Sword Saint must have won the recognition of all knights and warriors, at least the strongest of all combat positions.

Moreover, the history of the existence of the honorific title "Juggernaut" is even older than that of the Ancient Magic Empire, and it was born long ago when humans were still under the enslavement of orcs and elves. The original human beings are inferior to the elves in casting, and they are not as good as the orcs in terms of toughness, even if they have a bonus of fighting spirit, they can make up for the gap between humans and orcs at the grassroots level, but because of the gap in basic values, the strong in the human race are also at an absolute disadvantage when facing the orcs and elf powerhouses of the same level.

It wasn't until the first generation of Sword Masters came out that he pioneered the creation of the method of "the unity of human swords and the parasitic body of divine soldiers", which integrated the power of divine soldiers with the human body and turned them into an extension of human limbs, so that human beings had claws and fangs that surpassed super monsters for the first time, and for the first time in the duel of the strong, they could overwhelm the orcs and deteriorate elves head-on, and stand on the peak stage of the continent in a dignified manner.

Therefore, the title of "Sword Master" has extremely far-reaching significance, representing the glory of the strongest of mankind. Although the method of "Parasitic Divine Soldier" has been fully integrated into the cultivation inheritance of knights, and the equipment fused is not limited to sword divine soldiers, the honorific title of "Sword Saint" is still retained, and as a tradition, it is respected and pursued by all strong people.

Almost every knight has the ambition to become a legend, defeat all the powerhouses of the same generation, and win the title of the supreme "Sword Master".

After saying these anecdotes about the powerhouse, Lady Loriss couldn't help but smile and joked about Carl: "Dear Carl, you are also a knight, did you also dream that one day you could also obtain the title of 'Sword Master'?"

"Me?"

Carl couldn't help but laugh dumbly when asked by Lady Loris, if he was a real knight and had received formal knightly education since childhood, he might have longed for the title of "Sword Master" like all children who dream of becoming heroes.

But as a traverser, he has no sense of substitution in this world, and he has no special feelings for the title of "Sword Master", so naturally he will not be represented by anything to look forward to it.

If you want to become a sword master, maybe Alicia's ** is a little stronger than him.

However, the lifespan of legendary powerhouses is relatively long, at least around a thousand years, even if the knight has too many dark injuries because of frequent battles, which affects the overall lifespan, but as a legendary powerhouse, it is normal to have a lifespan of five or six hundred years.

Therefore, the era of a sword master reigning is very long, even if the contemporary sword master is a Heavenly Destiny Knight who was promoted after almost reaching the end of the life of the Golden Knight, after becoming a legendary powerhouse, he naturally extended his lifespan and could still stand at the peak of the knight for many years.
