Pillar of Yita

”Check the magic guidance.”

”Magic guidance check complete.”

”Connector.”

”The connector is fine too.”

In the faintly trembling hall, it seemed as if only two voices, one large and one small, conversed with each other within the mind.

The intertwined light and shadow in the sky and the exploding sparks occasionally illuminated the boy’s face. But Fang Hong’s expression was serious as he opened each part of the Dragon Knight Rigging’s shell, checking if the structures below and the magic links were still intact, utterly focused.

The complex and grand layers of Alchemy structure and the hundreds of stacked single arrays were beyond his understanding. He could only rely on some experience accumulated during the Morning Dawn Star period, his innate keenness for Alchemy, and Miss Tata’s help to barely identify them.

As for whether there were any potential hidden dangers, neither he nor Tata could say for sure. They could only hope that the staff at Elfendo, considering this Dragon Knight’s legendary past, would perform thorough maintenance each time.

Moreover, the Grand Artificers who once created this Dragon Knight might have been competent enough to allow this ’old knight,’ after a long wait of nearly a hundred years, to retain the grace of a century ago.

Fang Hong was even a bit nervous:

”What do we do next?”

Miss Tata’s voice remained as calm as water:

”First, find its Main Crystal entrance.”

”The Dragon Knight’s Main Crystal is made from materials similar to the Dragon Soul Crystal. They are the most core and vulnerable components of the Dragon Knight Rigging, so they are often protected in the thickest part of the Exterior Armor, which is generally the chest.”

”But the Main Crystal must be isolated from external contact, so the craftsmen designed a Resonance Crystal. To connect with the Dragon Knight’s Main Crystal, you must first find its Resonance Crystal, the entry point to the Main Crystal.”

Fang Hong forcefully pushed up ’Xiuma’s’ chest armor, revealing a fine-quality amethyst below—if placed in an ordinary Magic Guided Conductor or even a Main Construct, this amethyst would also qualify as a Main Crystal.

But here, it merely served as the ’connection’ to the Dragon Knight’s Main Crystal entrance.

Simply put, this was actually a Resonance Crystal—

Fang Hong had long since been tipped off by Miss Tata, and at this moment, he simply placed his hand gently on the crystal:

There was a loud noise from outside the tower.

The two silently glanced in that direction, a Knight not far from the High Tower was struck by a black light and exploded, the unrestrained Guy Crystal instantly turned into a rain of Light, slowly falling.

Bits of light sparkled in the sky above.

”Already one-third damaged, but there are some reinforcements on the ground.”

”Elfendo’s Combat Artisans have regrouped.”

The various tracks in the sky, like slowly extending paintings, were reflected in Tata’s calm gaze. However, what she seemed to see was not a real picture but rather a set of cold numbers.

With just a glance, Tata could calculate the quantities represented by those light trails.

Fang Hong remained silent; he understood this answer merely meant that time was running out.

He couldn’t truly wait for the constructs of the craftsmen to be entirely destroyed before taking action, because neither he nor Tata was a true Dragon Knight. Moreover, even if one were a true Dragon Knight, how many could single-handedly challenge the Dragon’s Witch?

Not everyone in this world is a Hero like Xiuyuede.

Nor does everyone receive recognition from Galapea.

At this moment, the crystal in his palm glowed faintly—

Tata’s voice was devoid of any emotional fluctuations: ”The first step, I’ll rewrite the computational core that coordinates and controls the Dragon Knight Rigging and reconstruct its control laws—Mr. Knight, please concentrate.”

At this point, Fang Hong swung his hand forcefully.

Below, the Energy Angel was sending the last of the Dragon’s henchmen flying, his calm gaze watching the monster plummet into the crevice with bared fangs.

But he no longer controlled his Flexible Construct, merely watching as the silver girl crashed into a protruding rock, then rolled and fell into the Abyss below, perishing alongside the monster she had slain with her own hands.

Fang Hong then turned back and nodded.

At this moment, another flash of light slowly blossomed outside the High Tower—

On the plaza.

What was reflected in people’s eyes was the splendid light in the sky at that moment, specks slicing through, then blooming like flower buds, their fiery glows extending long filaments before finally turning into a dazzling rain of light.

The rain of Light scattered down, gradually dissolving into the backdrop of the sky.

But the falling rain of Light, at this moment, reflected humanity’s hard-fought battle. People gradually could see that the Scales of the battlefield were slowly tipping towards the henchmen of the Dark Giant Dragon.

Over seventeen ’Knights,’ driven by the Guy Engine behind them, turned on the battlefield, instantly pulling out more than ten pale blue trails. But Nikopolas opened its massive mouth, a golden blaze spewing forth like a sword piercing the sky, sweeping horizontally past the ’Knights.’

In an instant, two constructs were obliterated.

”Hole Five, Hole Left, behind you!”

”Force it to turn towards area A5.”

The ’Knights,’ having passed through the Golden Flame, collectively began to decelerate, expelling streams of white steam from the coolers at the rear, condensing into clouds mid-air.
