A flash of green light, and Liens's sword sliced across Alfred's chest, the sharp sword ki cutting through his armor and leaving a clear wound on his body, but imdiately after, he was kicked away by Alfred.
The heavy force penetrated the dark silver armor, inflicting internal injuries on Liens as he was kicked away.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of hot blood couldn't be held back and splattered onto his face mask, staining his vision red.
Liens once again forcefully suppressed his internal injuries, cleared the blood, quickly stabilized his backward-flying figure, and then rushed back into the battlefield.
At the sa ti, a erald green healing light appeared on his body… This was healing from his teammates.
And similar situations, he and Balder and others had already experienced many tis.
After Alfred's aura diminished, Liens and their encirclent finally wasn't like the beginning, where they didn't even have the qualification to injure the opponent.
Two fists are no match for four hands; Alfred's strength was very great, but a single person with a single sword ultimately couldn't account for everything, so Liens and they could still rely on their encirclent to leave so injuries on his body.
However, most of them were minor injuries like the chest cut Liens just sustained, not even reaching the bone.
These minor injuries were sewn up by Alfred using elents before they even started bleeding.
Although Great Knight does not have a clear stage division, there is still a process from initial entry to perfection. This is true not only for Great Knight but for all professions.
First is the initial entry; this stage should be called transition, referring to the transitional stage where a Great Knight's spiritual will has just erged from the body but has not yet ford a "Spirit Phase."
In a sense, Liens is also in this transitional stage because his spiritual will has already erged from his body; it's just that the elents within his body are not yet saturated, and his body transformation is not yet complete.
Next is the middle stage, which refers to the stage of strengthening the "Spirit Phase." The stronger the "Spirit Phase," the more external elents a Great Knight can mobilize.
It's similar to the territory controlled by a nation.
Finally, there is the late stage. In this stage, the Great Knight's spirit will delve deeper into the elents, thereby imbuing or changing the original properties of the elents.
For example, Bard's "Guarding Fire" and "Fla of Resurrection" are examples of him using his spiritual will to imbue pure fire elents with properties they don't naturally possess, thereby enhancing his own moves.
The middle and late stages can proceed simultaneously, which is why it is said that Great Knight does not have a clear stage division.
Perhaps so Great Knight has already completed the elental property change, but his "Spirit Phase" is still at a very ordinary level.
There has never been a rule that the developnt of a kingdom cannot simultaneously expand its national territory and educate its citizens.
Alfred naturally couldn't be without elental property changes; his water elent can sew up and heal his body, thereby avoiding the continuous accumulation of injuries during combat, which would affect his strength.
And Liens, who has not completed the "elental property change," can only use elents to suppress his physical injuries and cannot give his own elents healing abilities.
Although Alfred was injured, Liens and the others didn't gain much advantage. As long as this Kingdom's Sword Saint was still present, they couldn't achieve victory.
But Liens and they did not give up; their plan was still to stall, to stall until the frontal battlefield below achieved victory, to stall until the military formation could be activated again.
That way, they would still have hope of victory.
"It's over… If you don't have any other ans, then this war should co to an end."
Alfred muttered faintly, sidestepping Robert's stab, swinging his sword to repel Balder, instantly leaving his spot to dodge the magic that followed, and naturally standing in the air.
Originally, when Alfred broke free from the encirclent, Liens would foresee his dodging position and then pursue him, not allowing him to leave the battlefield.
But at this mont, Liens foresaw a strong murderous intent, and it was this murderous intent that made him choose not to pursue.
"Be careful."
Liens didn't explain much, just briefly reminded Balder and the others, then focused his attention on Alfred not far away; he knew what the other party was about to do.
A profound aura appeared on Liens's body, and his expression beca indifferent; this was him entering the "Heaven and Man as One" state.
This was the first ti he had used "Heaven and Man as One" since the battle began; before, he had relied on his normal strength to fight.
Although after advancing to the true Grandmaster Realm, his mind also beca much stronger, plus one of the characteristics of Grandmaster abilities, "Heaven and Earth," reduced consumption.
"Heaven and Man as One" no longer lasted only a few minutes like before, but nearly half an hour, enough to support an ordinary battle.
Although if he had used "Heaven and Man as One" during the previous encirclent, their battle results might have been more significant, this still couldn't change the situation on the battlefield.
Alfred was too strong.
Even if he used "Heaven and Man as One," the threat to Alfred would only increase slightly, at most equivalent to one Robert. No matter how many, even two or three more, it wouldn't make much difference. In yesterday's instance, he had already fought Alfred with all his strength and knew their disparity.
Therefore, he had been reserving his strength, waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that might turn the tide of the battle.
Balder and the others also felt a strong threat at this mont, coupled with Liens's reminder, they did not continue to press forward to encircle Alfred but silently adopted a defensive stance.
"Your ability should be to perceive certain action information, right? Then you should know what my next attack will be. So… can you avoid it?"
Alfred looked at Liens and said calmly. Liens did not respond, only watched him with indifference.
"From your expression, it seems you've found a way to deal with it. Then let see how you deal with this sword."
Alfred smiled lightly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. Imdiately, an unnad aura appeared on his body, and the sky also changed at this mont.
The clouds dispersed, Mirror Lake appeared, and a distant, profound voice once again erged in everyone's hearts.
"Sword!"
At this mont, even the fighting on the ground battlefield ceased. Everyone looked up at the sky, watching the familiar blue greatsword erge from Mirror Lake.
Unlike the first ti's ignorance, almost everyone present knew the power of that greatsword, knew what kind of impact it would create when it fell.
Facing this desperate situation, many soldiers showed despair on their faces.
Looking at the greatsword in the sky, Ralph's expression was joyful; he knew that the Kingdom's Sword Saint, as a "Pillar of the Nation," would surely defeat those rebel forces.
Lucrezia's gaze was serious, her spirit delving deep into the magic, intending to activate certain contingency plans.
Liens could feel the lock-on from the sky; unless he could instantly escape to a very distant place, no matter how he dodged, he wouldn't be able to avoid the greatsword's strike.
However, this was the mont he had been waiting for.
"Extre Wind!"
