Lord of the Sky City

Time rewound to five minutes earlier.

Upon receiving the order, Schneider immediately took his men and surrounded Rocky. There was no helping it; Rocky was too easily recognizable in the White Demon Armor, even though Schneider had never seen him before. Once he saw the White Demon Armor, he guessed that he was the commander.

Also, to ensure his elimination and thereby cement victory in this battle, Schneider also specifically called for four squad members, making a total of five people to encircle Rocky!

"Surround him!"

When Schneider discovered Rocky, he immediately led his four squad members to form a tight encirclement from above, below, left, and right, then, without a second word, they attacked!

As the leader of the Void Magic Squad, Schneider was not only powerful but also had a considerable sense of strategy. He was very clear on how important his squad was in this battle and that they were the key to victory.

For this reason, regardless of whether Rocky was the commander or not, Schneider treated him as a target that must be eliminated. As long as he and the other Void Magic Warriors were wiped out, Wild Horse City would win the battle. Therefore, after surrounding Rocky, he didn't waste any words and chose to take action, clearly intending to fight a quick battle.

However, to everyone's surprise, before they could make a move, Rocky charged at them first!

Of course, Rocky would strike first, as his thoughts were exactly like Schneider's: he also wanted to fight a quick battle.

Rocky was well aware of the enemy's plan to rely on the Void Magic Warriors to decide the outcome of the battle. As the opponent, as the enemy, he naturally wouldn't let them succeed. Not only could he not allow them to succeed, but Rocky also wanted to fight a quick battle and then rely on his own Void Magic Warriors to determine the outcome of the combat!

So, after being completely surrounded, he didn't give the enemies a chance to take the first move. He instantly activated all the runes on the White Demon Armor, boosting the armor's magic energy value to the 10000-point limit in an instant, and then he charged toward the nearest enemy!

"Herman! Dodge quickly!"

The moment Rocky charged out, Schneider shouted loudly and charged out as well.

His suit, the Special Armor of the Fifth Generation, was equipped with a Mana Tracker. So, when Rocky activated all the runes and raised the magic energy of the White Demon Armor to 10000 points, Schneider immediately noticed and shouted to his team members. He knew that they wouldn't be able to withstand an enemy of this caliber.

Unfortunately, although his reaction was quick, it wasn't as fast as the White Demon's speed!

The full-powered White Demon Armor was incredibly fast, even the Windwalker, another top armor, couldn't catch up. So, as Schneider shouted, Rocky had already reached the squad member named Herman, and without giving the latter any chance to react, he swung the Mana Sword in a horizontal slash!

With a swoosh of the sword light, the Mana Sword cut across Herman's neck, and Herman's head was swept away as if it had been kicked like a ball...

The first Void Magic Warrior, dead!

"Everyone, get out of the way! You can't handle him!"

Watching his subordinate's head being sliced off, Schneider shouted and immediately accelerated, rushing towards Rocky, and in the process, he ordered the other squad members to retreat. Those in the Mass-Produced Armor, in front of Rocky, were simply there to be instantly killed, without even the chance to engage in a few exchanges.

However, Schneider's intentions, though well-meant, were unrealistic. It was easy for them to encircle Rocky because he allowed it, but scatter? Rocky wouldn't permit such a thing!

So, as he charged at Rocky, Rocky raised his hand to block the attack, and at the same moment, fired the Smoke Grenades mounted on his back.

With several muffled sounds, the launched Smoke Grenades exploded directly around everyone, and the spreading smoke quickly dispersed into the air, enveloping everyone like a murky dome.

Seeing Rocky release the vision-impairing Smoke Grenade, Schneider cursed inwardly, because this type of Smoke Grenade was not as sophisticated as ship-boarded smoke bombs; it only served to block the line of sight and was almost ineffective against him. The Special Armor was equipped with a Mana Tracker which, like thermal imaging, could directly detect the magic energy emitted by the armor, so blocking the line of sight was futile.

But while his armor was equipped with a tracker, the other squad members' armors weren't!

The reason why the Mass Production Type armors were named so was that they were simplified in various aspects compared to Special Armors. Even the Fifth Generation Mass-Produced Armors, except for very few models, did not have a Mana Tracker.

This was exactly why Rocky released the Smoke Grenade. In fact, he was even more eager to end the battle quickly than Schneider, for if these squad members escaped, Liliya and the others would face greater threats.

So, after deploying the Smoke Grenade, Rocky used the speed of the White Demon Armor to instantly shake off Schneider and directly rushed toward the squad member closest to him.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind this squad member and, without a second thought, stabbed the Mana Sword into the squad member's heart from behind. By the time he pulled out the Mana Sword, the squad member had already fallen straight down from the sky, dead without understanding what had happened.
