128: Legend of the Confrontation Kingdom

Just as Jeh was completely disheartened, a resolute voice suddenly rang out:

"Your Excellency, my Kate Kingdom is not so easily bullied. Our strengths are not far apart, so taking down the Royal Family will probably not be easy for you!

Moreover, you have already seized the space ring and magical armor from Jeh. These items are quite valuable, shouldn't you stop while you're ahead!"

Jeh was very familiar with the source of this voice; it was the voice of Isaac, the Old Ancestor of their Kate Family, and his face immediately revealed delight.

Following the sound, sure enough, an old man wearing armor, with slightly graying hair but a full face, had appeared at the palace entrance without anyone noticing.

It was Isaac.

Melita knew she was in enemy territory, so she continuously released her Mental Energy to scan the situation within a radius of several thousand meters.

Therefore, when Isaac left seclusion and headed this way, she had already detected him, and she wasn't surprised by his appearance.

On the contrary, after confirming that Isaac had arrived next to the palace, she immediately activated the legendary ring of protection that Arthur had given her.

Although both were Legendary, Melita was a Mage, while Isaac was a Knight.

If the distance was too close, a Mage could easily be successfully ambushed by a Knight; it was a counter.

Therefore, to guard against a sneak attack, Melita had to prepare her defenses first, just in case.

On the other side, Isaac hadn't originally intended to show himself immediately. He had planned to wait for Jeh to probe Melita further.

He wanted to see if Melita had accomplices, or if she was determined to die in the Kate Kingdom.

These factors would influence Isaac's subsequent actions toward Melita.

But when Isaac saw Melita inexplicably raise a Shield, he knew he had been exposed, so he revealed himself right away.

The words he spoke after appearing were also a test of Melita's attitude toward the Kate Kingdom—whether she truly intended to fight to the death.

Seeing Isaac appear, Melita finally felt relieved.

As long as Isaac dared to show up, he wouldn't be able to escape.

This meant that the mission Arthur had assigned Melita would definitely be completed!

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Melita's face.

Seeing this, Isaac thought Melita intended to reconcile. Just as he managed to force a benevolent expression onto his old face and prepared to hear Melita's explanation,

he heard Melita say with a laugh:

"My primary goal for this trip is you. Taking down Jeh was merely to remove your assistance!

Stop while you're ahead? Isaac, don't overthink things!"

Hearing this, the fake smile on Isaac's face immediately vanished, replaced by a gloomy expression.

Although he was extremely furious at the moment and wanted to tear the threatening Melita into pieces, listening to her words, she was clearly targeting him.

Melita's Mid-stage Legend strength alone wouldn't be enough. She must have allies or other trump cards; otherwise, how could she say such a thing?

If you know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated.

Isaac suppressed his emotions and probed her with a challenging tone:

"Just with you!

We are only twenty meters apart right now, and I am a Knight—you should be the one who is afraid of me!"

Melita naturally saw through Isaac's intentions, but her helper was the Water Attribute Giant Dragon Joao.

Joao alone was enough to utterly defeat Isaac, and furthermore, they had left a contingency plan regarding the great magic formation in the city.

This meant Melita was not afraid of Isaac figuring anything out, since he couldn't escape anyway.

Therefore, Melita remained completely calm in the face of Isaac's provocation.

She refuted him unhurriedly:

"You may not know what my reliance is, Isaac, but I know a thing or two about yours.

If I'm not mistaken, the magic formation that covers the entire Royal Capital is one of your trump cards, isn't it!

Once activated, it can not only prevent enemies from escaping but also control the formation to attack enemies both inside and outside the formation.

Such a huge formation possesses astonishing power; even a Legendary Expert dealing with it would likely be somewhat flustered!"

The formation in the Kate Royal Capital primarily focused on defense while incorporating offense, so it could only make a Legendary Expert flustered, not truly life-threatening.

The formation covering the entire Royal Capital was indeed one of Isaac's main sources of reliance.

Now that Melita had mentioned it so casually, he immediately felt a bad premonition.

Since the enemy knew his trump card, how could they not have taken countermeasures?

Before he could think further, a small magic formation appeared in Melita's hand, and she clenched her fist.

As the small magic formation was activated, twenty locations in the Kate Royal Capital immediately experienced violent explosions simultaneously.

The power of these explosions was considerable, but when Melita and Joao set up the magic formation, they only intended to destroy the nodes,

so the explosive force was controlled within the range of the nodes, killing only the Royal Shadow Guards guarding those nodes.

Despite this.

Homicide cases were rare in the Royal Capital even during the day, so twenty simultaneous explosions immediately caused panic throughout the city.

With the sound of the explosions, Isaac's heart sank.

He wouldn't care if Melita killed tens of thousands of people, but judging by her words, she must have targeted the magic formation.

Holding this thought, Isaac immediately left the palace, flew into the air, and scanned the area.

When he clearly saw the locations of the explosions, his face instantly became somewhat ferocious.

It was important to know that this formation had not only cost Isaac hundreds of millions of Gold Coins but was also his massive reliance when dealing with Legendary Experts of equal standing.

Now, it had been directly destroyed. How could he not be furious?

However, this action also made Isaac realize how troublesome Melita was.

Generally, a Legendary Expert might not even be able to tell if there was a formation within the Royal Capital, let alone find the Magic Nodes.

Furthermore, for the sake of secrecy, the guards for the Royal Capital's magic formation nodes were all personally dispatched by him.

Even the Current King didn't know the specifics; he only possessed the key to operate the formation.

Yet, Melita was able to accurately find the Magic Nodes and destroy them, indicating she had some serious skills.

Troublesome as she was, Melita had provoked him twice in succession.

First, she poisoned the Current King of the Kate Kingdom, Jeh, and then she destroyed the Royal Capital's formation. He could no longer remain indifferent.

"This is going too far!"

A great Knight's sword, thick as a waist, immediately appeared in his hand. His figure flashed, and he instantly slashed down toward Melita inside the palace.

Melita was already prepared for this. Aside from the legendary ring of protection shield that was already deployed around her,

she instantly cast several Advanced Spells, covering herself with several Advanced Shields.

After all, although the legendary ring of protection's shield was strong, its energy was limited, so she needed to conserve it whenever possible.

It was best if the attack could be negated by other means.

The attack of a Legendary Knight was no small matter, especially since Isaac, in his grief and indignation, had used a powerful Battle Technique!
