Chapter 260 The So-Called Star Knight
"I didn't, Lord Wizard Leo." How could Ellis admit it? He quickly said, "I had Ellis use the secret technique first, hoping... hoping..."
Ellis opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything coherent.
Leo flipped through the parchment in his hand and said, "I'm not interested in your argument. What's your name?"
"Master Leo, my name is Peter."
Leo asked, "What if it's my order to have you test the drug?"
Peter said, "If that's the case, then it means I acted recklessly and am unworthy to serve the Wizard, and deserve to die."
After a moment of silence, Leo said calmly, "Since you defeated Ellis and became the first Sky Knight, then you shall take over everything that Ellis had."
"Ellis and I made a deal before. I gave him a secret technique to break through to the Sky Knight level without Shadowfish, and a Star Knight to help him rise above the Sky Knight level. In return, he had to help me unify all the Knight Orders."
"Can you do these things?"
Peter's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he knelt on the ground and said, "Lord Wizard Leo, I promise to complete the task you have assigned. What Ellis could do, I, Peter, can do as well, and I will do it even better and more perfectly than Ellis."
Leo nodded slightly and said, "Alright, since you put it that way, then I'll leave everything to you."
"Lord Leo the Wizard, what should Ellis do?"
Peter asked.
Although he wanted to kill Ellis directly to eliminate future troubles, he didn't dare to actually do so until Leo gave the order.
Leo said, "I don't care whether he lives or dies. You can decide his fate yourself. Take him away."
Peter was overjoyed and said, "Yes, Lord Wizard Leo."
He took the ashen-faced Ellis away.
Then, a flash of light swept past outside.
Leo sensed that Ellis was dead.
Leo shook his head and said, "If you can't seize the opportunity, you can't blame anyone else."
Leo gave Ellis a chance, but he personally handed that chance over to someone else.
Leo's formula is perfectly fine.
If Ellis had just followed the instructions, he would have been the first Sky Knight, instead of giving up the chance to become the first Sky Knight to Peter, only to be defeated and killed by Peter because he was weaker than Peter.
Several days have passed.
Peter knelt before Leo and said, "Master Leo, we have been using the remaining materials to refine a secret technique these past few days."
"Our Glory Knights now have thirty Grand Knights who have broken through to become Sky Knights. With our current strength, we are already capable of unifying all the other knight orders."
"However..." Peter hesitated for a moment, then said, "Now that everyone is a Sky Knight, I'm worried I don't know if I can control them well."
Leo nodded slightly and said, "You mean if I can't help you break through to become a Star Knight, then you won't be able to control these Sky Knights, right?"
Peter quickly lowered his head and said, "Lord Wizard Leo, I dare not think that way, but with my current strength, I really cannot control these Sky Knights."
Leo said, "Alright, the potion to help you break through to the Sky Knight realm is ready. It's all here, thirty bottles in total. These will quickly enhance your physical attributes. Drink them all, and you'll be able to step into the Star Knight realm."
Peter was overjoyed and said, "Master Leo, thank you for your gift."
Leo took the potion out of his spatial storage pouch.
Each of these bottles represents the perfect quality of the Deadwood Elixir.
For Leo now, these perfect-quality withered wood potions are no longer of much help to him; he might as well use them to try and interfere with the Tower Master's prophecy.
Leo asked, "You can take these potions and drink them slowly, or you can drink them here."
Peter was startled.
He could tell that Leo was testing him.
"You can drink here, Master Leo."
Peter picked up one of the bottles of Deadwood Potion and, without hesitation, drank it right in front of Leo.
With Ellis as a cautionary tale, Peter is no longer inclined to doubt the potion that Leo presented.
Otherwise, he might not become a Star Knight, but another Sky Knight who reaps the rewards.
Bottle after bottle.
With each vial of medicine, Peter could feel his physical abilities expanding.
This kind of improvement is different from the improvement provided by the Knight's Breathing Technique.
Peter could clearly feel that the Knight's Breathing Technique hadn't changed much, but the improvement in his physical body was real.
A moment later, Peter drank all the deadwood potion, and he felt his strength increase to an unprecedented level.
Peter felt that he could annihilate his Sky Knight self with a single punch.
Is this the level of a Star Knight?
"Terrifying!"
Peter was eager to try and show himself to the Sky Knights' subordinates.
Thinking of this, Peter said, "Lord Wizard Leo, I have now broken through to the Star Knight realm, and I will go and subdue the other Sky Knights."
Leo waved his hand and said, "Go."
Peter left Leo's room and summoned the other Sky Knights.
These sky knights all had a somewhat arrogant expression on their faces.
Peter said, "I have gathered you here today not for any other reason than to discuss what our Knights are about to do."
"Now that I am the leader of the Knights of Glory, I intend to bring other knight orders under my command, and I hope you can lend me a hand."
The other Sky Knights remained silent.
At this moment, a Sky Knight stepped forward and said, "Peter, I admit that you are very strong. But now we are all Sky Knights. Even if a captain is to be chosen, it should be the strongest Sky Knight."
Peter narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you disobeying Lord Leo's orders?"
The Sky Knight replied, "Of course I wouldn't dare. But Lord Leo only appoints people based on merit. You were able to replace Ellis precisely because you are strong enough to take his place."
"With so many Sky Knights here, I think we need to determine who is the strongest and capable of leading the Knights of Glory."
Peter said, "You're right, Lord Leo is indeed a person who values talent above all else. How about this, I can give you a chance. If you can withstand this sword strike from me, I will hand over the position of captain to you."
The Sky Knight laughed and said, "Peter, I can withstand not just one of your sword strikes, but ten of them."
Since they were all Sky Knights, he had nothing to be afraid of.
Peter stood up and drew his sword.
The Sky Knight also drew his longsword.
The next moment, the Sky Knight's longsword shattered, and he was sent flying backward.
Peter sheathed his sword and said, "Anyone who still thinks I am unworthy of my position can step forward."
"Many Sky Knights were shocked to see Peter so easily suppress a Sky Knight."
