He happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, or the right place at the right time, depending on your perspective, and happens to save the kingdom’s princess. As fortune would have it, love prospers, but in a world of peasantry and nobility, a middling, peasant-born soldier has no right to love a princess.

As early as a year ago, the battle strategy for activating the Fairy World had been decided. This was the result of the joint efforts of the most elite strategists of the Hall of Knights and the astrologers of the Sanctum.

The battlefield was divided into thirty regions, covering two-thirds of the activated Fairy World.

The higher the order of these regions, the more dangerous it was.

The first region was the most difficult region to conquer, as predicted by the astrologers of the Sanctum a year ago.

And from the map of the activated Fairy World, the first region was located in the region where the trunk of the World Tree was located.

That was the holy city in the eyes of the activated fairies. So far, the high-level combat power that had been revealed was a powerful sunflower fairy.

The Sanctum and the Hall of Knights had assessed this sunflower-animated fairy to be far more powerful than the banana man Arnold. Logically speaking, the Apocalyptic Deathray, which was not easy to prepare, should have been reserved for a powerhouse like the sunflower-animated fairy.

But the main reason why the higher-ups of the Sanctum and the Hall of Knights changed their minds was that the astrologers predicted this place to be extremely dangerous.

No one knew whether the World Tree that Sir Odysseus wanted was not to be trifled with, or whether there was some invisible power in that place. But it was not important, because victory would always belong to the mages and knights of the Three Western Isles.

It was just a mere miniature plane.

In the Fertile Soil Continent, the originally verdant valley was now ravaged by ravines at the bottom of a giant sinkhole. Three Radiant Knights led dozens of level-2 Earth Knights here.

Light spots from the erosion could be seen everywhere, and the surrounding air was still filled with active elemental molecules, causing the concentration of magic in this area to be high.

At least for the next three years, this would be a blessed land for mages to gather magic, which could speed up their recovery speed by 20%.

But even so, very few mages would come to this place, because if they were not careful and their magic leaked, they could turn into dazzling sparks at any time.

This was not the inert magic in ordinary sacred cultivation grounds.

The three Radiant Knights walked at the front, and they began to investigate in three different directions in the giant sinkhole.

There were currently four level-3 lifeforms in the Demonized Fairy World, and there were two in this valley alone. Under the premise that Sir Odysseus could not participate in the battle, these level-3 lifeforms from other planes were the biggest threat to the invading army.

Once it was confirmed that two of them had fallen, the impact on the overall situation would be tremendous. It would directly accelerate the progress of this Planar War.

"There's one here!" said a radiant knight under the brass armor.

The surrounding Erdritch Knights leaned over and took a closer look. They saw a piece of black fur embedded in the ground. The black fur had been burnt beyond recognition by the high temperature and powerful magic.

The lower end of the fur was connected to the ground. An Earth Knight went forward and tugged at it, but to his surprise, he was unable to pull it off. After circulating his qi, his arm immediately thickened, and with a sudden tug, the fur was pulled off the ground.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to tell what kind of creature the fur belonged to from the broken threads and the remnant patterns on the fur.

"That Sky Overlord Bear?" An Erdritch Knight asked uncertainly. Among the creatures that were active in this area, only the Tyrant Giant Bear they had released had fur. Only the fur of the Tyrant Giant Bear could survive the direct attack of the Apocalyptic Deathray and leave behind some remains.

The radiant knight nodded solemnly. He was a classic battle maniac. That Sky Overlord Bear was one of the slaves of the Hall of Knights. Level-3 lifeforms were rare in the first place, and this Erdritch Knight had trained with this Sky Overlord Bear many times.

The outcome of every battle was a ratio of four to six. The Sky Overlord Bear had outstanding defense, and many powerful radiant knights were helpless against it.

Unexpectedly, this Sky Overlord Bear still couldn't survive the power of the Apocalyptic Deathray.

Although this radiant knight in bronze armor had seen the explosive power of the Sanctum's mages working together with the main cannon of the Void Fortress many times, he still couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine when he saw it again today.

Was this the power of mages? It wasn't without reason that the Sorcerer World had always been dominated by mages of various schools.

Even if knights cultivated to level-2, 3, or even 4, they would still be suppressed by mages. There were a total of three level-4 knights in the Three Western Isles, but they were all led by the master of the Sanctum, Banam.

"Just throw it away. It's useless now," said the radiant knight before walking away.

The Sky Overlord Bear that had suffered the attack of the Apocalyptic Deathray had already disappeared from the world. All that was left was a pile of fur that had been destroyed by the intense chaotic elements, rendering it worthless.

The Erdritch Knight who was holding the pile of fur was also a knowledgeable person. He threw the charred pile of fur away without the slightest reluctance.

Apart from this, the other radiant knight had also discovered something.

"This ground … Something's wrong!" The radiant knight in white armor half-squatted down and picked up a solidified, crystal-like lump of soil.

Within the brown, translucent soil was a smear of dark yellow.

The radiant knight picked up the lump of soil and examined it for a long time. When he didn't find anything special, he took off his mask, revealing a young and handsome face.

Under the astonished gazes of the surrounding Earthly Knights, the handsome radiant knight's mouth stretched to two sides in an exaggerated manner. The white skin on his face gradually turned yellow, and a few thick tusks grew out of his lower jaw. In the end, his head turned into the head of a yellow-skinned giant.

Above the tall and slender white armor was the head of an ugly, bald, yellow-skinned giant. It was truly bizarre.

The radiant knight tossed the lump of soil in his hand into his mouth and chewed it carefully. Only someone like the radiant knight could ignore the active elemental waves in the soil.

"Hmm, there's a strange smell." The yellow giant tilted his head and looked at the radiant knight in bronze armor who was walking over.

"It's that level-3 large potato, isn't it? I can smell its scent." The bronze radiant knight smiled.

"It should be. This is probably the product of its body mixed with the soil," said the yellow giant. Perhaps it was uncomfortable to use his human body to carry such a large giant's head. The radiant knight twisted his neck and quickly returned to his original appearance.

He still had the same handsome face, with the holy white armor and the condensed combat energy wings on his back. With this outfit, this radiant knight would definitely cause a commotion if he entered the city center of Princeton.

Those rich ladies liked little fresh meat like him.

Of course, the premise was that he wouldn't expose his ugly giant incarnation.

Finally, after a thorough investigation and measurement by the accompanying Erdritch Knights, they found that the soil within a radius of 100 meters contained a different substance from other places. It was undoubtedly the remains of the level-3 potato man.

"Where's the other sprite?" The two radiant knights were puzzled. They didn't believe that there was anything in this plane that could resist the Apocalyptic Death Ray.

"Search this area carefully!" The two radiant knights ordered.

The final result made the level-two and level-three knights who came to this valley very unhappy. After the three radiant knights gathered, they found that there were only the remains of three level-three creatures here. Obviously, the sprite that had been animated by the banana man had escaped.

"These are the teeth of the Steel-Armored Quetzalcoatlus." The last radiant knight in black armor opened the glove on his hand, and a few shiny triangular teeth appeared on it. These were the only traces left by the silver pterosaur.

These were the hardest parts of its body.

These teeth were relatively well preserved. Not only were they not affected by the Elemental Frenzy, but they also seemed to have undergone some changes under the illumination of the Apocalyptic Death Ray.

Alchemists all liked this strange substance. If he brought it to the Holy Tower to find a powerful alchemist, even a radiant knight like him would be able to make a small fortune.

However, the few radiant knights present didn't notice this detail. After showing the traces he had found, the radiant knight in black armor put away the silver teeth.

"We also found the blood and internal organs of the banana man in the deep pit. Due to the influence of the elemental fluctuations, it has been destroyed to the point where we can't tell when it left," the radiant knight in white armor said in a deep voice.

Being able to withstand a single blow from the Apocalyptic Death Ray was already completely out of their expectations. In the various dimensions, there were Level 3 creatures with such powerful strength, but they were definitely in the minority. All of them were prodigies of their dimensions, rare individuals that would only appear once in tens of thousands of years.

As long as this kind of life form didn't die, it was very likely that they would advance to level-4, or at least peak level-3. It was not difficult for them to obtain the title of demigod.

"The earth knight who is good at tracking has already followed the clues we found, but that guy is also an expert. The clues were cut off halfway," the radiant knight in bronze armor said, his tone filled with reluctance.

It was a very rare opportunity to fight with a powerhouse of this level. In addition, it must have been seriously injured. Under the suppression of the other two radiant knights, he would definitely be able to fight to his heart's content. This was the key to whether he could advance further.

"Go back and report. Even if it's a demigod, Argus will deal with it!" The radiant knight in white armor said. Their mission was only to investigate the final results here. Since they had already obtained the information they wanted, there was no need to add to it.

He was not a battle maniac. If they continued to investigate, it would not be good if there were unpredictable consequences. After all, this was a different plane, and they did not have the geographical advantage.

"Alright!" The radiant knight in bronze armor said. The name 'Argus' was one of the few people in the Hall of Knights of the Three Western Islands.

That banana man might only be a demigod, but Argus was a real demigod, a radiant knight at the peak of level-3!
