Chapter 894: Direct Kill
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The pure condensed iron ball ran through Johnson’s body after the 3 violent ‘revenge’ strikes from the rank 20 holy knight. If he still had his old body, a big chunk would be damaged already.
However, it only tipped off balance for a second, and the protection circle behind it supported it. Its increased weight and strength had dramatically boosted its defense.
The attack of that rank 20 holy knight angered Johnson. It struck out the lightning spear once again. Green lightning sparks shoot out like a whip.
It was an imitation of one of Abel’s head commander skills. It was just that no one was expecting a giant iron monster to use knight skills.
Even with the slowing of the frost, the force of Johnson’s attack was not affected. The spear quickly arrived in front of the rank 20 holy knight.
Wizard Hogg was afraid of getting near the holy knight ever since it changed to a holy freeze aura. Ice elements would attack anything that got near it.
When the Holy Knight paused because of Johnson, Wizard Hogg immediately cast the blizzard, firewall, and lightning towards the holy knight.
The calm exterior on the Holy knight’s face dropped. The attacks from a rank 20 wizard were nothing to mess with.
Even with an invincible defense, he wouldn’t take the attack of the wizard of the same rank head-on.
On top of the defense Johnson showed, he could imagine how powerful its attack was.
He viciously stepped back and changed to a lightning-resistant aura. At the same time, he unleashed a charge. The lightning strike was the first thing to land on him, but all it did was numb him for a split second.
The lightning-resistant aura counteracted a large part of the attack, but that split second of numbness was already enough for Johnson to land its spear on him.
The green energy was a brute force on display. Through the 11th rider spear technique, Johnson’s body’s force was fully carried out alongside the lightning element of the pure condensed iron b.a.l.l.s.
The most powerful force was still the green energy, and it directly deformed the Holy knight’s armor and almost made him suffocate. Afterward, lightning elements rushed in, and it was blasted out.
The blast carried the Holy knight away from Wizards Hogg’s attacks, but wizard Hogg did not stop. He cast a blizzard storm towards where the holy knight was landing.
Still, the holy knight had experience. He held down the pain and unleashed another charge. His body turned into a beam of light as soon as he landed. Wizard Hogg missed again.
WIzard Hogg had his eyes fixed on the Rank 20 holy knight. He knew he was badly hurt, so he definitely would not let this opportunity slide.
The wizard union would be alerted when a teleportation circle was damaged. The supporting team would arrive in less than 20 minutes.
It was almost impossible to kill an elite holy knight with the wizards alone. The Lightning clan thought about inviting other occupations into their teams, but looking at other mixed organizations’ conditions, other occupations would most likely drag down their powerful attacks.
There was only one thing in WIzard Hogg’s mind: drag-out time. He wasn’t expecting to kill the Holy knight. As soon as the support team arrived, the holy knights would retreat.
Johnson made 2 steps forward after his attack to chase after the holy knight, but it was a mistake.
Its mission was to guard its meditating master in the wooden house behind it.
Suddenly, a rank 17 holy knight emerged from the other side of the wooden house and heavily struck on the protection circle with its sword.
He had carefully hidden after being attacked. As Johnson and WIzard Hogg were occupied with the rank 20 Holy knight, it had already arrived in front of the wooden house.
The protection circle was much harder to break than he expected.
He was familiar with protection circles, and this protection circle was giving out the scent of a small-scale temporary circle base. It could only provide an intermediate defense. Even the attack of a low-rank holy knight could break it.
However, even after a ‘sacrifice’ enchantment on his sword, it barely even made a scratch.
Little did he know, this protection circle in front of him was supported by a top-level gem. Only Abel would do something lavish like this.
Johnson sensed the protection circle being attacked, so it viciously stepped back and twisted. It jumped up in mid-air and held its spear straight.
The 11th rider spear technique had merged with the battle instinct of Johnson after Abel’s guidance. As a monster with unlimited amounts of energy, it had been practicing the technique nonstop.
The result of its practice was on full display. Even in the face of fury, the technique was unleashed perfectly.
At that moment, Abel opened his eyes.
At first, it might take a few more minutes until he was fully awake, but his druid soul was in a state of emergency. It needed the help of the main soul, so Abel had to end his meditation early.
He immediately sensed the threat outside the protection circle, so he reached out with his power of will. There was a rank 17 holy knight.
The rank 17 holy knight did not break the protection circle with one strike, and he knew the knight had more than enough time to do another strike and escape from Johnson with a charge.
As the knight was about to do another strike, a spooky red cloud of curse emerged above him. Since he was busy doing a strike, he did not have enough time to dodge.
Also, he wasn’t expecting a priest to be around. As far as he knew, the Lightnings were exclusive to wizards, so that curse was most likely from a scroll. Due to the scarcity of priest scrolls, it was most likely a damage increase at best.
That false a.s.sumption made him pay. As the cursed raindrops poured down, death qi filled his body. It was almost like all the energy of his body was drained.
“An aging curse! There is an elite priest!” He thought to himself, but it was too late. He could no longer charge.
Everything happened in a split second. Johnson arrived above the rank 17 Holy knight and heavily struck down with its lightning spear.
The rank 17 wizard felt a s.h.i.+ver from his spine. An immense threat alert rushed from his knight intuition. He was in a life-and-death situation, but it was too late.
He held his s.h.i.+eld up high, but it was useless like a mountain landing on a feather.
The effect of Abel’s level 3 aging curse doesn’t last long, but it was already enough to dictate the fate of that holy knight.
“My lord, take me back to the holy land!” The rank 17 holy knight mumbled. There was no fear in his eyes. Death was freedom.
Abel had his power of the will fixed on the rank 17 holy knight. That fearless look in his eyes made his spine tingle.
Abel couldn’t understand how one could be so calm in the face of death. The desire to live was what drove every occupation to advance to this stage, but death to a holy knight was like a touch of G.o.d.
Johnson’s spear heavily landed on the skull of that holy knight. His helmet almost did nothing, and his head was bashed into his chest by the immense force.
The lightning spear did not stop as it continued down. Bones began to crack, and his chest was deformed. Finally, his heart shattered.
“Bang!” A pure white light shoots out towards the limitless sky from the body of the holy knight.
A light gem emerged, and Abel quickly did telekinesis. That light gem was stored in his portal bag.
It was a big light gem. It was the first time he had gotten such a big one from a Holy knight.
The sudden emergence of the beam of light sent both sides into a shock. Although there were men getting injured, no one died until this point.
“My lord, give me the glory to avenge Ebene!” Fury emerged on the face of that rank 20 knight. He roared and viciously expended the holy freeze aura below him.
The wizard around him, including Wizard Hogg, immediately flashed away. In order to do so, he had to stop his charge and took another spell hit.
The other holy knights madly sped towards him and formed a knight formation once again since they had scattered around the battlefield after destroying the teleportation circle.
With their experience on top of their rank, taking down those 10 wizards shouldn’t be a problem.
As long as a wizard was struck by either a holy freeze or holy impact aura, the holy knights would have a chance to get close to them and take their lives.
Although the wizards’ attack could damage the Holy knights as well, as long as they didn’t get killed in one strike, they would slowly recover with their aura.
The rank 20 holy knight wanted to profit before the support team arrived, but Abel disrupted everything. With one man down, they were at a disadvantage in numbers.
At the same time, the wizards gained another helper. The rank 20 holy knight quickly changed his tactic. He had to kill Abel and avenge his men. He had to use Abel’s blood as a sacrifice to his lord.
Under his leaders.h.i.+p, the holy knights charged towards the wooden house.
Abel was puzzled. The aging curse was something only a high-level priest could do. He still didn’t know much about the Central Continent, so he didn’t know how his team would think of him.
Suddenly, he realized a full team of Holy knights was charging towards him along with a vicious shock wave of ice.
The rank 20 Holy knight had expended his holy freeze area. Although its power was not as strong, it was still not something a rank 16 wizard could withstand.
