Lord of the Sky City

"What do you want to do with me?"

Rocky’s words made Liliya question if there was something wrong with her ears. They were clearly discussing important matters concerning Thunderhawk City; how did the conversation suddenly shift to this topic?

"Didn’t you say I should practice more? I’m free today, so I thought I’d seek your guidance."

With a hearty laugh, Rocky didn’t give Liliya any time to respond and pulled her away from the City Lord’s Hall, heading straight to the garden behind the City Lord’s Mansion.

The so-called garden behind the City Lord’s Mansion was actually just a relatively large grassy area. Logically, this was where Rocky practiced his martial techniques, but he hadn’t been there since his arrival from another world.

"Rocky, do you really want to practice martial techniques with me?"

Having been forcefully dragged to the garden, Liliya was still somewhat disbelieving. She had indeed urged Rocky to spend more time on martial techniques and magic, but Rocky had never listened; what was different today that he was so proactive?

"Of course."

Facing Liliya’s disbelief, Rocky appeared very confident, clearly not joking.

But then, he quickly added, "However, you are much higher in level than me, so I need to wear the Void Magic Armor."

"Void Magic Armor?"

"You, you’ve already successfully modified the Void Magic Armor?!"

Liliya, being very intelligent and aware that Rocky had been working on modifying the Void Magic Armor using runes, immediately thought of this when he mentioned it.

"It’s not a modification, just an enhancement."

Liliya’s words made Rocky unable to resist showing a proud smile because, as Liliya had said, after many days of effort, he had finally succeeded in enhancing the Void Magic Armor using runes!

That’s why he had sought out Liliya to try his hand and see what kind of power the enhanced Void Magic Armor could unleash!

"You, you really did it?!"

Seeing Rocky’s proud face, Liliya was also extremely delighted, because whether it was an enhancement or a modification using runes, it was a pioneering act!

Thus, Liliya too became excited and was very interested in the enhanced Void Magic Armor.

Afterward, Rocky returned to his room, put on the Void Magic Armor, and didn’t leave through the door. Instead, he flew directly out the window to the garden.

"Really..."

Seeing his somewhat ostentatious entrance, Liliya shook her head helplessly, thinking that at times Rocky really did seem like a child who had never grown up. However, she quickly turned her attention to the Void Magic Armor, eager to see what the enhanced armor looked like.

Unfortunately, when she looked at Rocky, she found that the Void Magic Armor he wore still looked the same. While it still appeared impressive, there was no change in its shape, and there wasn’t even a rune visible.

This wasn’t surprising, because Rocky, in order to avoid drawing attention, had specifically drawn the runes inside the lining of the Void Magic Armor; thus, the real change in the armor was internal.

After making a stylish entry, Rocky looked up at Liliya with confidence and said, "Should I go easy on you?"

"Go easy on me?"

This comment made Liliya laugh out loud. The Void Magic Armor might be strong, but its effectiveness depended largely on the person wearing it. With Rocky’s limited abilities, even in the Void Magic Armor, Liliya was not worried.

So, without saying anything further, Liliya drew her side sword from her waist and pointed the tip at Rocky:

"You better be careful; I won’t hold back."

The moment her words hit the air, she suddenly lunged forward, closing the distance between them in the blink of an eye, and then swept her sword toward his chest!

Curious about the power of the enhanced Void Magic Armor, Liliya went all out from the start, not holding back at all, knowing that with the armor’s protection, Rocky was unlikely to get hurt; she didn’t need to worry.

It must be said that Liliya was definitely not just for show. Not only did she possess the strength of a Third-Level Warrior, she had also experienced the carnage of the battlefield firsthand, truly qualifying her as a genuine warrior. Therefore, even when faced with Rocky wearing the enhanced Void Magic Armor, which brought him up to the level of a Fourth Level Warrior, she was not afraid at all!

In the blink of an eye, Rocky hadn’t even fully grasped Liliya’s movements when he felt the sword light at his chest. Then, he heard a clang as the sword struck directly upon his chest. Although it didn’t injure him, the immense force still pushed him back several steps!

This is the … enhanced Void Magic Armor?

Unexpectedly, with one strike, Liliya forced Rocky into a retreat. She paused, totally not anticipating this outcome; the enhanced Void Magic Armor seemed no different from before.

Rocky, equally surprised by this result, stabilized himself after retreating four or five steps and was utterly astonished. He had not expected Liliya to strike as quickly as she did, nor did he anticipate such immense power!

And just as he was secretly amazed, Liliya appeared in front of him again.

"Wait...!"

Seeing Liliya charge at him again, Rocky was just about to speak when he realized that Liliya had only feinted an attack before disappearing from his view.

By the time he relocated Liliya, he had already been fiercely kicked, following her feint which had allowed her to move behind him and kick him off balance!

"Wait a second..."

In just a few rounds of engagement, Rocky was already thoroughly disoriented and hurriedly tried to call a halt.

Unfortunately, Liliya didn’t give him a chance to speak. Her figure blurred once more as she charged at him again, forcing him to leap into the air and fly up.

"Liliya, wait, wait a minute..."

Having escaped into mid-air, Rocky tried to continue speaking, but then saw Liliya on the ground raising her hand toward him.

This gesture immediately made Rocky’s skin crawl, followed by a foreboding exclamation, but it was already too late!

Because afterwards, Liliya sent three fireballs hurling towards him with whooshing sounds!

Liliya was not only a Third-Level Warrior but also a Level Two Mage!

Facing the three fireballs flying towards him, Rocky hurriedly dodged. Just when he barely managed to avoid them, he spotted a figure leaping from the ground out of the corner of his eye, then felt himself being powerfully kicked and sent crashing towards the ground!

With a boom, Rocky slammed into the ground like a shot-down cannonball, creating a huge crater in the grass...

For a moment, dust was thrown up, completely covering the spot where he landed, making it impossible to see the situation inside.

It wasn’t until a while later that the dust finally settled, revealing Rocky’s disheveled figure.

At that moment, Rocky was a complete mess, his Void Magic Armor covered in mud, looking like a soldier who had just fled a lost battle.

Seeing his disheveled state, Liliya also opened her mouth awkwardly, and it took her a long while to finally say:

"Rocky, is this your enhanced Void Magic Armor? It seems... it seems no different from before..."

Although she didn’t want to demoralize Rocky, Liliya couldn’t help but speak her true thoughts. She really couldn’t see any difference in the Void Magic Armor!

Defeating Rocky without him being able to resist was exactly the expected outcome, because Rocky lacked actual combat experience and had only mediocre fundamentals. Thus, even with the Void Magic Armor, he couldn’t win against Liliya, a fact known to both of them.

Liliya had initially thought that after being enhanced by runes, the Void Magic Armor would greatly increase Rocky’s capabilities, at least making him not so inadequate against her, but now it seemed not to be the case at all, as if the enhancement of the Void Magic Armor did nothing.

However, just as she finished speaking, Rocky, crawling up from the ground, started to roar!

"What do you mean no difference! Who asked you to move so quickly, I, I haven’t even activated the rune’s mana yet!"

Now, Rocky was infuriated. Because Liliya had acted too quickly, he had absolutely no time to activate the rune’s mana...
