Chapter 1222: Attack
The three legendary knights from the Holy kingdom and the two legendary wizards from the Wizard Union floated in front of the golden castle in disbelief.
Although they knew the golden castle had the most powerful protection circles in the continent, they still wouldn’t believe it could handle ten strikes from a legendary.
“Legends, it seems like we need to go all out. Something is odd with this golden castle!” Knight Chase lowered his voice and said to the wizards.
“Ok, you guys take the left, and we’ll take the right, but don’t get too close!” Wizard Jules nodded.
Since their contract did not guarantee that they wouldn’t hurt each other with their attacks, it was best to keep a distance.
“Ok, let’s see who can break the defense first!” Knight Chase smiled.
He then nodded to the other two legendary knights, and a sword and s.h.i.+eld appeared on their hands. They charged like a beam towards the left of the protection circle.
At the same time, he unleashed his rank 29 energy and heavily slammed against the golden castle. However, it was no use. Their energy couldn’t even make it to Abel inside the circle.
It was the special power of merging magic circles from two different worlds.
Of course, the number one protection circle was still the guardian wings that guarded the Holy kingdom against the Howling castle for thousands of years without any deterioration.
The three legendary knights ignited their aura as they charged. With Holy Freeze in combination with holy charge, waves of lighting and ice slammed against the protection circle.
However, it was not even as effective as the wizard’s meteoroid. After the knights realized their tactic was not working, they changed to a mad aura.
A mad aura could double their attack power, and they ignited a charge again. They were moving so fast that their attacks were no longer visible
Since they were attacking a fixed target, they could fully unleash their combo strikes and as many elements as they wanted.
On the other side, Wizard Jules and Wizard Harrick used the same tactic, but they did not go all out. Instead, they took turns and unleashed eight meteoroids at once.
Although a legendary Wizard had many spells and their recovery speed was scary, unleas.h.i.+ng ten top-level spells continually was still quite draining.
Especially since there were knights around, they couldn’t guarantee if the other side would turn on them once they captured Grandmaster Bennett.
Actually, both sides were still in an awkward situation. The three legendary knights also took turns to recover their holy energy.
Still, their attacks were real, and Abel had to focus his power of the will on the condition outside.
Soon, he became less worried. At this current rate, it would take those five legendaries days to break his energy s.h.i.+eld even if the golden castle could not replenish itself.
That was only the energy s.h.i.+eld. The scariest thing about the Golden castle was the physical defense of the starlight protection circle. With 40 battle forts alone, even the power of G.o.d could not easily break it, according to Thief G.o.d Milton.
Since those five legendaries were so confident, they did not pay much attention to their defense as they focused on attacks.
But of course, their natural instinct to sense threats was very serious.
After all, they were five legends, two rank 28 legendary wizards and three rank 29 legendary knights. A rank 26 druid stood no chance, especially a newly leveled-up druid.
Another reason they did not have any protection was to display their trust towards each other, at least before they accomplished their goal of capturing Abel.
Abel gazed around at the five legendaries and found a target.
Although he was not expecting to kill all 5 of them, badly injuring or even killing one of them when they were unaware was not impossible.
Those legendaries could clearly see Abel within the protection circle, but they could not see the angel hidden behind him or the ancient bow on his hand, the dark gold Buriza-Do Kyanon, a powerful bow of the Dark World.
Although his angel body did not have any archery skills, what it had was speed. With the special ability of the Buriza-Do Kyanon, the power it could produce was scary.
However, since he still wanted to keep his angel body a secret, he would only use it once the situation fell into chaos.
After 5 minutes, the legends began to get a little tired. It was not often they make crazy attacks like this.
Just when they were about to attack again, they sensed energy beginning to gather around the golden castle like it was a mana gathering circle.
But instead of gathering mana, it absorbed all kinds of energy produced by their attacks.
In a few seconds, the golden castle’s energy s.h.i.+eld was back in top condition like nothing happened.
The legends’ jaws dropped. They spent 5 minutes attacking this energy s.h.i.+eld, and it recovered in a few seconds?
It was at that moment of distraction, the 225 stone-throwers on the 40 battle forts began their attacks.
Since those battle forts were invisible and under the protection of the starlight protection circle, those legendaries did not notice them in time.
250 energy b.a.l.l.s shot out of the stone-throwers. Abel had tested them before. Even his power of the will could not predict their moves with their speed.
Therefore in a split second, those five legends were covered by a sky of energy b.a.l.l.s of all colors.
Green, the energy of poison. Red, the energy of fire. Blue, the energy of ice. And yellow, the energy of lightning.
It was fireworks.
At the same time, the stone-throwers began to gather energy again. Since they had many top-level gems as supply, they could unleash a round of attacks every second.
How strong was each energy ball? According to Abel’s calculation, it was a little stronger than a spell.
Abel was not expecting those stone throwers to work so well, and they were perfectly divided into two sides. 100 energy b.a.l.l.s on the right for the two legendary wizards, and 125 energy b.a.l.l.s on the left for the 3 Legendary knights.
Those stone-throwers were too fast. Who could have guessed, this seemingly stable golden castle that did nothing but defense for 5 minutes could unleash such scary power.
As Abel saw a sky of flying colors covering the legendaries without him even making a move, a golden energy s.h.i.+eld suddenly emerged and protected the legendaries.
“Holy crystal!” It was an energy s.h.i.+eld formed by a Holy crystal.
A holy crystal was priceless. Any professional who used it would gain tremendous power, no matter in battle or in training.
Abel always disregarded using a holy crystal as a lifesaver, but it seemed like it came in handy for those Legendaries in that situation.
Still, there was a limit to its power, and it couldn’t last for long if those stone throwers kept attacking.
“Retreat!” Wizard Jules yelled. He witnessed the power of the Golden Castle’s defense, and he had lost his confidence.
Wizard Harrick fought with Wizard Jules for countless years, and he immediately knew what to do. In a situation like this, they could no longer care about their pledge with the knights. The moment before their golden energy s.h.i.+eld was broken, they ignited a flash and vanished from the spot.
By the time they reappeared 1000 meters away, they were covered in dust, and blood was dripping down from the corner of their mouths. They did not look good. They were not only poisoned, but they were also cut by frost, and their robes were burned. There were even sparkles of lightning remaining on their body.
They couldn’t even imagine what would happen if they did not make it fast enough.
What did we get ourselves into?
Both of them knew very well that was only the power of the Golden Castle. They had no idea how much more Abel had in store if he made a move himself.
“Let’s go!” Wizard Jules lowered his voice.
Wizard Harrick also sensed how easily it was for the Golden castle to gather energy and throw out those 250 energy b.a.l.l.s. The second round of attacks might be even greater.
Up to this point, he immediately ignited a flash and retreated with Wizard Jules.
Abel saw the wizards retreating and felt a little irritated. He was planning to kill at least one of those legendary wizards. They were the one who was seeking trouble from him after all.
Little did he know how much of a chicken those rank 28 wizards were. Just a bunch of stone-throwers had scared them away.
But it was too late for Abel. He could only turn his gaze to the remaining knights whose golden s.h.i.+eld was about to fade.
The knights quickly ignited their support aura to increase their resistance to elements.
They then followed up with a pure aura to heal the wounds on their body. However, since they had taken quite a big hit and poison normally took much longer to recover, the pure aura could do the trick for so long.
The three legendary knights formed a triangle with their s.h.i.+elds upfront. With a holy s.h.i.+eld spell as support, their defense shot up tremendously.
