33: Fight to support the war! Upgrade

With the general's command, before the beastmen army could arrive, the city gates opened wide, and countless soldiers charged out.

The Gran Wall would not rely on the city walls for defense until the very last moment.

Because once they relied on it for defense, while limiting themselves, if the beastmen tide accumulated and the Gran Wall was torn open, then it would be a free-for-all.

Therefore, the Gran Wall was the last line of defense, not something to defend with from the start, even though the Gran Wall had magic runes carved on it, it could not withstand the continuous attacks of the tide-like beastmen.

That's why the order to sally out and meet the enemy was given, and why there were so many casualties every year.

This year was a beastmen tide! And it came early!

Although there was a beastmen tide every year, the numbers were not very high, and a large tide would appear every few years.

"Kill!!!"

Countless human knights charged out.

The general here was a Radiant Sun Knight, leading from the front, charging out first.

He plunged directly into the beastmen tide.

With one Sword Wave, he cleared an area of several hundred meters.

At this moment, a beastmen commander charged out, nearly five meters tall, clad in armor, wielding a steel club, and attacked the general.

As the club smashed down, a whirlwind gathered on the general's sword.

Clang!

Boom!!!

The Ground beneath the general's feet shattered, and dozens of meters of The Ground collapsed, with cracks spreading out to a hundred meters away.

The general and the beastmen commander were locked in battle.

Clarissa charged down, but she didn't directly enter the main battlefield; instead, she advanced towards the side.

[Whirlwind Sword]

Clarissa entered the fray, her body spinning as she passed through three beastmen, her knight's sword directly slicing open their vital points.

Boom!

Clarissa sidestepped to dodge a beastman's attack, then spun her body with a backhand, swinging her knight's sword in a circle and smashing it down fiercely.

[Earth Shattering Slash]

Terrifying sword energy erupted, directly splitting the beastman in front of her in half.

Clarissa looked at the endless stream of beastmen still surging towards her.

Coincidentally, Clarissa had intentionally chosen to enter from the edge, where there were fewer people.

This way, she didn't have to worry about harming friendly forces.

Clarissa took a deep breath and roared fiercely at what was in front of her.

[Intimidating Roar]

Buzz~!

An invisible sound wave spread out in front of her, with sound waves also present around her, as it was sound, but the strongest impact was still the frontal fan-shaped area.

Dozens of beastmen were affected by Clarissa.

However, these berserk beastmen's mental fortitude was difficult to shake, not to mention Clarissa's mastery was not very high, and this [Intimidating Roar] was not specialized in mental attacks, with physical impact accounting for a portion of its effect.

These beastmen only paused, then all of their targets shifted to Clarissa, and they charged at Clarissa, howling.

Clarissa delivered a horizontal sweep.

[Sword Wave]

A fan-shaped sword energy, like a tide, erupted.

A [Sword Wave] with a high degree of mastery could be fired twice.

One after another, like a tide, a double attack.

Pffft! Pffft!

The beastmen fell one after another.

Clarissa's eyes lit up, and she secretly glanced at the system; she had gained over two thousand source points!

Area-of-effect monster grinding was fast!

Clarissa continued to 'observe from the sidelines' and slowly blended in.

There was nothing she could do; with her current strength, Clarissa could only do this. She could influence local battles, but her impact on the overall battlefield was not significant.

However, this was already very good, after all, Clarissa, who almost possessed the strength of a Star Knight, could basically walk sideways as long as she didn't encounter a beastmen commander of that level.

In addition, she was also quite "cautious," constantly killing beastmen along the edges.

At the same time, she also "conveniently" saved (stole kills from) many friendly forces.

Half an hour quickly passed.

The battlefield had not yet fully entered its most intense phase.

After all, whether it was beastmen or knights, they all cultivated their bodies, and battles between them were not easily decided, especially since each one had strong bodies and decent recovery capabilities.

However, the human side had the help of mages.

They had firmly held down the beastmen tide, preventing it from advancing much.

The battle between the high-end combatants (beastmen commanders and human generals) was estimated to take at least half a day to conclude.

In half an hour, Clarissa had killed at least several hundred beastmen.

She saw that her source points had already reached over seventy thousand.

With continuous combat, under the effect of her terrifying talent, the growth brought by actual combat was immense.

With combat and the Breathing Technique, Clarissa's potential was continuously being unearthed.

Coupled with her own "bloodline."

Her physical attributes had increased from 52 points to 55 points.

Adding to that her double bonus in swordsmanship from [Talent Enhancement IV] and [Swordsmanship Mastery IV].

[Intimidating Roar] and [Sword Wave] both broke through in mastery, from mastery to proficiency.

[Sword Wave] even changed from 2 sword energies to 3, and its power and range were both improved, but the consumption only increased by a little.

This was the powerful amplification brought by a high degree of mastery.

With over seventy thousand source points, Clarissa decided to "take a risk."

Upgrade [Dragon Blood Warrior]!

Fifty thousand source points were deducted.

[Dragon Blood Warrior II]

Clarissa felt a tremor from deep within her bloodline.

Her already "modified" bloodline began to surge.

Clarissa's skin began to redden, and even wisps of white steam began to emit.

"Ah!!!" Clarissa roared, charging directly into the beastmen tide.

Like a rampaging wild ox, she charged madly.

All the beastmen along the way who tried to stop Clarissa were split in half by her sword.

Even beastmen who swarmed her, those in front, Clarissa directly crashed into them, and the sound of cracking bones rang out; even the beastmen, known for their strength and physique, were sent flying back with broken bones and torn muscles.

Clarissa completely ignored some of the beastmen's attacks; they landed on her body without causing any reaction.

Clarissa's physical attributes were continuously rising and rising.

60 points... 70 points... 80 points...

In just a dozen breaths' time.

Clarissa's physical attributes settled at 117 points.

Her physical attributes alone had already reached the level of a Glittering Moon Knight.

Her rank also broke through Elite Knight to Star Knight by virtue of her super strong physique, plus the two mastered intermediate combat skills she possessed, the rating of Star Knight was completely appropriate.

Her source points also increased by more than eight thousand points during this process, and her balance had reached 30000+.

Clarissa's burst of power also attracted the attention of many people.

"What a fierce female knight! What a wild fighting style!"

"Is that an auxiliary army?"

"Where did such a fierce person come from!"

Clarissa continuously killed her way towards the rear of the beastmen tide.

"Roar!" Clarissa had gone too deep, and her movements were not small; a beastmen captain charged towards Clarissa.

A beastmen captain was equivalent to a Star Knight, but their physical body was stronger than a Star Knight of the same level.

However, when it roared and charged towards Clarissa, attempting to smash Clarissa's head with a club.

Clarissa suddenly looked up at her opponent.

The beastmen captain saw Clarissa's eyes and was slightly dazed; a fear from the depths of its soul spontaneously arose.

They were vertical pupils!

At the [Dragon Blood Warrior II] level, Clarissa was fine normally, but when fighting with full power, her eyes would turn into dragon eyes, and at the same time, dragon might would be produced on her body!

This was the suppression of a higher-level life form over a lower-level life form!

Obviously, neither humans nor beastmen could escape this suppression.

Under the suppression, even if the beastmen captain wanted to exert full power, it couldn't, only able to exert eighty percent, at most ninety percent, of its strength.
