The captain's neck twisted, making a crisp sound. His hands trembled slightly, like a fierce beast that had been imprisoned for a long time, finally gaining freedom.

Gradually, a holy light appeared beside the captain.

He was ferocious, yet sacred;

He was angry, yet calm;

He was twisted, yet gentle.

Two completely different styles merged on the captain, creating a disharmonious but real existence.

"I once made a vow... When I return... I will drink the blood of the Dark Moon."

"Roar!"

The captain roared and charged towards Karun and Ophelia.

Ophelia instinctively stepped forward, placing Karun behind her. A scroll appeared in her hand, and with a flick of her wrist, the scroll fell, instantly revealing a small formation rune.

From this rune, a sword hilt appeared.

Karun was familiar with this scene because there was an old refrigerator in his house that could serve the same purpose.

As the princess of the Dark Moon Island, it was normal for Ophelia to have such treatment. Moreover, she wouldn't feel distressed about the cost of summoning a weapon like he did.

However, Karun knew that when Ophelia used the scroll, the area of the rune formation she summoned was very small. In other words, this island was not far from the Dark Moon Island. If it were further away, Ophelia would not be able to summon her weapon.

In this regard, his old refrigerator had more advantages because it could be upgraded. However, the cost of upgrading was too high, and the price to use it would also be higher. In short... even if Karun used all his wealth, it would not be enough for this upgrade project.

Ophelia drew a large sword with a purple gem embedded in the hilt.

This sword was difficult to compare with the sword she gave him, the Sword of Achilles. Anyway, the princess would not be lacking in weapons.

Ophelia swung the sword, and the power of the Dark Moon burst forth. The sword emitted a dazzling purple light and immediately slashed towards the captain who was charging towards her.

Just as the captain's body was about to be cut in half by the sword, his figure suddenly disappeared. Almost at the same time, he reappeared behind Ophelia.

While Ophelia swung the sword, she instantly changed direction and stabbed behind her.

The captain retreated again, but a purple net appeared on the sword, blocking his retreat.

"Poof!"

The sword pierced the captain's chest. Without hesitation, Ophelia tapped the hilt, and a terrifying shockwave passed into the sword.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

Finally, the power was transferred into the captain's body.

"Boom!"

The captain's body exploded.

From the moment the captain charged towards Karun, Ophelia drew her sword, and the two clashed in an instant. Everything happened so quickly that Karun only subconsciously summoned the Armor of the Sea God and the Blade of the Dark Moon, but he hadn't had a chance to truly join the battle.

Then,

The captain exploded in front of Karun.

Karun blinked hard. He had always thought that being influenced by personal emotions during a battle was foolish, but rationality sometimes couldn't control emotions. The sudden loss of control by the captain had a great impact on Karun's mind, and the explosion of the captain's body left his mind blank for a moment.

"Be careful, he's not dead!"

Ophelia shouted to Karun.

A pair of hands appeared from under Karun's feet and grabbed his ankle.

In his dazed state, Karun sensed the threat to his life and instantly regained his focus.

"Order Cage!"

A cage appeared, enveloping Karun himself. He used the cage to seal himself off and also isolate the outside world.

Those white hands suddenly struck the cage barrier, and in an instant, cracks began to spread.

Karun intended to directly slash at those hands with the Blades of the Dark Moon, but suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

"Order Guardian Wall!"

Walls appeared beneath Karun, blocking himself and those hands. At this moment, the hands clenched into fists, and two white beams of light shot out, directly piercing through the walls summoned by Karun and breaking through the cage barrier around Karun.

The Armor of the Sea God on Karun's body quickly activated the ultimate water attribute power of the Primordial Ellen, instantly freezing.

"Boom!"

Karun felt a heavy blow to his chest, and his whole body was sent flying. In mid-air, Karun quickly adjusted his posture, but he suddenly noticed that where he was about to land, those hands had already appeared, as if waiting to catch him.

A black mist enveloped Karun, and after his body quickly dissipated, he forcefully changed direction and moved away from the spot.

The hands seemed to want to chase after him, but a purple sword fell directly, piercing the center of those hands. Then, Ophelia exerted force and pulled.

"Boom!"

The ground immediately exploded, but with the sword being pulled out, there was no blood on the tip of the sword, only a pierced doll.

Karun remembered this doll. It was the spoils of war from when they killed the Judge Luke last time. There were two in total, and it seemed that the captain had taken them for his own use.

The sword in Ophelia's hand made a faint sound, and the doll split open.

Karun's figure also appeared beside Ophelia. Karun's original intention was for each of them to focus on a different direction, but Ophelia said directly:

"I'll attack, you assist me."

Karun nodded and said, "Okay."At this moment, Karun had adjusted his mindset and no longer hesitated. Since the captain was already lost, he was no longer the captain, and he couldn't have any reservations.

"Hehe..."

Laughter came from the front, and the captain's figure emerged from the darkness.

Ophelia lowered the tip of her sword, preparing for another attack.

Karun put away the Dark Moon Blade and only kept the Sea God's Armor for defense. Since he didn't have a substantial weapon in his hand, the power of the Dark Moon Blade couldn't be fully utilized. It was better to focus on assisting Ophelia.

"God, let there be light."

As the captain's words fell, a circle of light appeared under Ophelia and Karun's feet. This circle of light rapidly expanded after its appearance.

Karun immediately squatted down, hands pressed tightly against the ground. The area was instantly covered in darkness, completing the seal.

But in the next moment, small bulging dots began to appear in the dark area, indicating that something was about to surge out again.

Karun tilted his head back and continued to infuse his spiritual power:

"Orderly Veil of Isolation!"

This was a Judge-level spell. Its function was to fill the surrounding atmosphere. Normally, this spell was quite useless because its most frequent use was when you were about to recite the "Order Regulations," which could create a better sense of mystery and solemnity.

But now, this seemingly useless move happened to be able to deal with the current situation.

Finally, the underground returned to calm. The captain's previous move had not taken effect and was forcibly suppressed by Karun.

"He was just testing us," Ophelia said.

He should be testing you, Karun thought.

But soon, Karun realized that even the captain himself seemed to not know his true strength. Therefore, the captain was also testing himself?

No, even if the original captain wanted to absorb the memories of "him," it would take time. So the "him" currently occupying the captain's body probably didn't know himself, at least not completely, and was unaware of his abilities.

"I'll try to hold him in close combat while you secretly activate the teleportation array," Ophelia said, adjusting her breathing. Karun stood up behind her, and a layer of black purifying power was applied to her. Then, Karun reached out and placed his hand on Ophelia's shoulder, and a layer of Sea God's Armor appeared on her.

"Thank you."

"Be careful."

"Hurry."

Ophelia waved her large sword, creating a sword flower, which was a gesture inviting a duel.

The captain tilted his head slightly to the right when he saw this.

"Interesting."

The captain raised his arm, and suddenly a white light descended from the pitch-black night, shining on him. The captain also appeared in armor, and a bright sword floated in front of him.

The spell, Radiant Knight.

The fully armed captain approached Ophelia. This time, his face showed seriousness, indicating that he was taking it seriously. When Karun moved away from Ophelia, the captain completely ignored Karun, who had left the battle formation.

He seemed confident that everything was under his control.

Karun appeared on the platform, quickly exploring and familiarizing himself with the formation. He needed some time.

However, Karun made a negligence here. Last time, when the captain defeated Anita, the inheritor of the Gravekeeper, Karun arrived at the scene after the captain had defeated her and did not witness the captain's formidable close combat strength with his own eyes.

Otherwise, he would never have agreed to let Ophelia delay the battle in close combat.

As the captain approached, raising the Sword of Radiance, Ophelia also raised her purple sword. The two swords clashed in an instant.

However, Ophelia, who wielded a substantial weapon, was gradually suppressed by the captain, who wielded a spell weapon. Her figure gradually showed signs of being overwhelmed.

This was a head-on confrontation, a pure contest of strength. Ophelia originally thought she had the advantage in this aspect, but now she realized that she was wrong.

This person in front of her not only excelled in spells, but his immense and terrifying power of light, combined with his strong body, gave him an absolute advantage in close combat.

And under this head-on confrontation, if either side fell into a disadvantage, they could only continue to face it head-on. Once they retreated, it meant that the other side would seize the opportunity and immediately deliver a terrifying blow.

Karun looked up at the battle, immediately understanding the situation. At this moment, he needed to help Ophelia break the current rhythm. In the next moment, two Judgment Spears condensed in Karun's hands, and he threw them directly at the captain.

The captain continued to hold the sword with his right hand to suppress Ophelia, while a simple white shield appeared on his left arm.

"Buzz!"

The Judgment Spears collided with the shield, but instead of exploding, they turned into two black dots and were absorbed by the shield.

Seeing this, Karun did not leave to join the battle formation. Instead, he had to forcibly calm his emotions and focus on the formation platform in front of him.

Ophelia continued to exchange blows with the captain for more than twenty rounds. In a gradually weakened state, Ophelia deliberately lowered her defense and gradually changed her tactics, which could lead to mutual injuries.

After noticing Ophelia's intention, the captain completely let go of his defense and swung his sword down at Ophelia.Ophelia saw the situation and didn't dodge at all. She swung her purple sword.

This was a sword that neither side defended against.

But at this moment, the light shield that was originally on the captain's left arm appeared in front of him. Ophelia's purple sword struck the shield, and the purple light on the sword was instantly drained, losing its brightness. Meanwhile, the captain's sword of light had already descended towards Ophelia's head.

A red light emitted from under Ophelia's clothes, and a tall figure appeared behind her. With both arms raised, the figure held the sword, but with the crazy boiling of the power of light, the red figure behind her was rapidly dissipating.

Obviously, this was Ophelia's trump card. She had a holy artifact that could summon the red figure behind her, which was the reason why she was willing to exchange injuries earlier.

But now, the situation was still firmly suppressed.

Ophelia reached out to pull out the purple sword, but at this moment, the light shield melted and completely attached itself to the sword, preventing Ophelia from pulling it out. The red figure behind her was also about to dissipate.

Ophelia could only retreat, but as soon as she retreated, the red figure completely vanished. The captain swung his sword towards Ophelia, who was retreating, but the sword did not touch her. However, the sword light directly hit Ophelia's body, sending her flying.

If it weren't for the Sea God's Armor and the purifying power bestowed by Karun, the damage she suffered would have been more severe. But even so, when Ophelia landed, she tried to stand up but instead coughed up blood and could only squat down.

The captain did not give her time to readjust. He appeared directly in front of her, raising his sword of light.

But Ophelia flipped her left hand, and a small mirror fell to the ground. Suddenly, countless illusory tentacles appeared in the mirror, entangling the captain's body.

The captain instantly lost his balance and knelt on the ground.

Ophelia's gaze focused, and she opened her right palm, revealing a brooch. She intentionally pierced her own palm with the brooch, and as her blood stimulated it, the brooch turned black and transformed into a silver radiance. Ophelia raised her right hand and stabbed directly at the captain's head.

But a helmet appeared on the captain's head.

"Bang!"

The powerful penetrating force of the silver radiance only shattered the helmet on the captain's head. The captain shook his neck, making a slight sound, but he was not fatally injured.

Unable to successfully counterattack, Ophelia could only smile helplessly. She was no match for the captain. She had lost.

The captain reached out and restrained her, cutting off her perception of the outside world. At the same time, his other hand with the sword was ready to strike. Ophelia had already closed her eyes in despair.

At this moment, a black mist appeared behind the captain, and Karun's figure appeared. And at this moment, Karun was holding the purple sword that Ophelia had dropped earlier.

With the infusion of the power of the Dark Moon, the sword once again radiated light.

The captain sensed the attack from behind and the huge shield appeared behind him, once again blocking the purple sword. But the shield that seemed to be able to defend against all attacks was broken this time.

"Poof!"

The purple sword not only pierced through the shield but also penetrated the captain's armor, coming out from his chest.

Because when the sword pierced, Karun applied a layer of light power to it, and powers of the same attribute would accommodate each other, especially the power of light. This effect was most obvious.

After opening her eyes, Ophelia felt the weakening of her confinement. Although she didn't know why she was isolated, she, who had almost given up resistance, regained hope. She opened her hands, and the Dark Moon Blade appeared, slashing towards the barrier that imprisoned her.

"Light of Incineration!"

Terrifying flames appeared on the captain's body, as if they were going to melt the two people he was holding onto.

The Sea God's Armor on Karun's body covered the person he was facing through the conduction of the sword. The rising flames began to rapidly evaporate, attempting to suppress the moisture on him. At the same time, the water power of the ancestral Allen within Karun's body was fully stimulated.

For a long time, the accumulation of spiritual power within Karun's body had been his advantage, and at this moment, he fully exerted this advantage.

At this moment, the fire and water on Karun and the captain's bodies began to collide rapidly.

"Bang!"

Ophelia broke free from her confinement and regained her freedom. She saw Karun piercing the person's body with the sword, and the two of them were almost madly entangled, with the power of fire and water on their bodies colliding in a terrifying manner.

Karun's face was distorted, shouting, "The formation is only one step away, let's go!"

Ophelia bit her lip, without hesitation or useless words. She activated the remaining power of the Dark Moon within her body, quickly arriving at the formation platform.

Indeed, Karun had almost completed the preparation of the formation, with only one step left. Ophelia infused her spiritual power into one of the positions, and the formation successfully activated, emitting a white light.

She looked over there, Karun was still tightly entangled with the opponent, the scorching temperature roasting Karun's skin, and white smoke had already risen from his body.

"Roar!"

The person seemed to sense the activation of the formation and tried to stand up forcibly."Ah!"

Karun let out a roar of fury. The rapid output of his spiritual power began to distort his consciousness, but he still forcibly gripped the purple greatsword with both hands, pushing the captain back again.

"Karun..."

Ophelia's figure disappeared from the formation, she was teleported away.

Karun took a long breath, he had already pushed himself to the limit, the captain was simply too powerful.

He suddenly remembered the words the captain had said to him in the evening: "If you can't discover it yourself in advance, then come die with me."

But captain, you didn't last that long!

The purity of the white flame on the captain's body was higher than his own water attribute power, so he needed to expend more spiritual power to counteract it. Karun's spiritual power was exhausted, he knew, he was about to be incinerated.

However, just as Karun's Armor of the Sea God dissipated due to exhaustion, the originally terrifyingly hot flame also disappeared.

"Everyone's gone, aren't you going to pull out the sword quickly?"
