Chapter 895: Killed
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Johnson!” Abel yelled and turned into a flash of white light.
Suddenly, Johnson’s body began to change.
It was not obvious considering its 10 meters tall body, but a human-sized s.p.a.ce was opened up in its body. Soon, Abel appeared within.
With so many pure condensed iron b.a.l.l.s, nothing could hurt Abel. It was the safest place.
Abel ruthlessly altered Johnson to turn it into a s.h.i.+eld: a s.h.i.+eld that could save his life.
“The holy freeze shockwave slammed onto Johnson, but Abel was unaffected.
Wizard Hogg knew Abel had woken up from his meditation, but he couldn’t understand how Abel did an aging curse. Did he cast the spell or use a scroll? But soon, he grew worried again.
“Wizard Abel, be careful! Don’t get close to them!” He yelled.
Suddenly, Johnson turned into a flash of note light and reappeared 200 meters out.
A wizard could move in a flash with the object he touches, but the mana it drained corresponds to the object’s size.
With Johnson’s size, even the most powerful wizards could move with it a few times.
Mana was very important to all wizards, no matter the rank. Although an elite wizard’s mana storage was scary, none of them would cast spells for no reason. The mana drain of elite spells was nothing to mess with as well.
Once mana was depleted, a wizard would lose his ability to save himself.
After Johnson reappeared, he placed his hands together and formed a cannon shape.
Seeing Johnson. Wizard Hogg was suddenly reminded of something. His face sank, and he immediately flashed away.
The other wizards on the spot knew what that look on Johnson signified, so they also flashed away.
‘Glory to my lord, destroy this iron monster!” The rank 20 holy knight saw Johnson flashed away and yelled.
His plan was going smoothly until this rank 16 wizard showed up. It would be a huge embarra.s.sment if he went back without any rewards.
They still had around 10 minutes until the support from the WIzard Union showed up. He needed something to get back his dignity, so he chose Johnson.
He knew it was the rank 16 wizard who would flash away with that big iron thing, so it shouldn’t last for long.
As long as they stick together in a knight formation, they would recover quickly, even with attacks from the elite wizards.
They had nothing to fear. As long as he didn’t strike first and left his team behind, they would not have any more losses.
He just had to kill that iron thing and avenge his teammate before retreating.
Abel saw the knights charging again. He had a dilemma. He wasn’t sure if Johnson could withstand their force.
Although pure iron was one of the strongest things out there, a s.h.i.+eld with pure iron was called an indestructible s.h.i.+eld. Those things still got damaged in battle.
Still, Abel had placed a bet on the pure iron. He had taken out his mana cannon, and that thing needed a stable base for the 2 seconds it needed to ignite. He could no longer move in a flash.
Of course, Abel would not have done this if he wasn’t so confident in Johnson’s defense. He had more than enough mana to flash away anyway.
He wrapped his power of the will on the cannon base formed by Johnson’s arm and tried to hide the mana cannon’s energy wave as much as possible. He wanted to delay the time as much as possible.
Johnson paused, and the Holy knights immediately caught up with the charge. The rank 20 Holy knight gathered the force of the 8 other knights behind him and heavily struck his sword on Johnson’s leg.
Johnson was immediately knocked back a few steps, but Holy knights never ended with one strike. They continued to strike again.
Johnson kept stepping back, and its t.i.tan armor was damaged again before it could even regenerate.
The rank 20 holy knight was growing desperate. He couldn’t understand what this iron monster was made out of. Why was it still standing even with those attacks?
Johnson’s rebound power was tipping him off balance as well, but he doesn’t have to bear all the force in the knight formation.
Wizard Hogg wanted to help, but he knew he could get too close to Johnson. He knew what was inside its arms.
Even a law-defying wizard could not withstand that, let alone himself.
“That guy is mad!” Wizard Hogg thought to himself. Abel’s life was a legend, but he always thought it was exaggerated.
It seems like they were true after all. He began to doubt if it was even a good thing to bring such a mad man into his team.
Johnson kept stepping back. Although the attacks didn’t hurt it, it could not find stable ground.
Abel realized how much of a ha.s.sle it was to use a mana cannon in an actual battle. Even with an indestructible s.h.i.+eld-like Johnson, he could not find 2 seconds of stability.
“Captain, tell the team to move 2 miles away. I’ll go with them head-on!” Abel sent a message to wizard Hogg through the power of the will.
“Wizard Abel, don’t do anything stupid. You are still young. You can become very powerful in the future. Don’t risk your life with a few evil knights!” Wizard Hogg lowered his voice.
“Captain, you still have 6 seconds to get away!” Abel said in a certain tone.
Wizard Hogg was suddenly reminded of Abel’s explosion. It could almost wipe out a city.
“You are crazy, and I need you to live!” Wizard Hogg replied helplessly. He then connected with the others through his power of will. “Get away from Wizard Abel!”
The ruthless attacks from those Holy knights did not do much to Johnson so far, which gave Abel even more confidence.
He had it prepared. Once he was in trouble, he would jump into a teleportation circle with Johnson’s skull if Johnson’s body couldn’t withstand the explosion, no way those knights could.
Abel had placed another teleportation circle in a mountain a few miles out. It was his final lifesaver.
He would only do such a risky thing with that teleportation circle.
He held a super exploding ball in his hand. Since he had the transformation necklace, the scary energy of the exploding ball was perfectly hidden.
The moment he sensed the ball was about to explode, he threw it into the center of the knights through telekinesis.
A vicious energy wave emerged. Even Wizard Hogg and the team could sense it from 2 miles away.
However, the hoy knights did not stop their attacks since their charge was ignited. Although they tried their best to dodge that super exploding ball, they could not break their formation.
Bang! Abel felt his ears ring as Johnson was sent flying 10 meters above the ground.
“I am ok!” Abel felt his heart lift. His head commander and elite wizard intuition were never wrong. He didn’t sense a threat after an explosion, so he didn’t have to enter the teleportation circle.
Although his organs were a little damaged by the blast and his ears were ringing, it was nothing too serious.
He poured down a bottle of full recovery potion, and he was back in his top condition. Although it was a bit of a waste to use a full recovery potion on injuries like that, he still had to face the team of Holy knights.
Because if nothing too serious had happened to him, the knights could also survive like a miracle.
The moment before the blast, the Holy knights gathered tightly together and held up their s.h.i.+eld. They ignited a counteract aura, and their defense was shot up multiple times.
A rank 19 holy knight also ignited a preaching aura, which further increased their survival rate.
The power of a perfect gem was scary, but it was spread out. All it did was destroying the Holy knights’ gear and send some of them into critical condition. None of them died.
Abel couldn’t help but admire how resilient those Holy knights were. With power like that, you could just imagine how hard it must be to kill an elite holy knight.
However, Abel did not stop, as the Holy Knights were drinking their potions. He placed a perfect gem in the mana cannon.
A short silence emerged from the battlefield. The s.h.i.+elds of the knights were shattered, and their armor was damaged. They had to start using their potions. The aura alone was too slow.
Abel jammed the 33#zod rune into the mana cannon socket and ignited it with his power of the will.
“Defence, quick!” the rank 20 Holy Knight sensed a strong energy wave. The only remaining Knight in the team to ignite a charge was him and the rank 19 Holy Knight.
“My Lord, give me a few seconds, just a few seconds, and I will bring them back!” The rank 20 holy knight prayed and changed a s.h.i.+eld. He stood in front of the team and blocked. Hoping to make some more time for the team.
As he sensed the energy wave intensifying, his face grew white. He was not afraid to die, but his lord would not let him die easily. He exchanged gaze with the rank 19 Holy knight, and they suddenly charged forward.
The moment they left the team, a vicious beam of light shot out from the mana cannon in Johnson’s arm and arrived in front of the knights in no time.
Those 4 rank 18 knights and 3 rank 17 knights were already helpless, and that beam of light had directly liquified them before they could even react.
What was left was 7 pure soul beams shooting towards the sky and 7 big light gems. The existence of those knights was now history.
That rank 19 Holy knight moved a little late, and half his body was taken away by the beam, but the rank 20 holy knight quickly grabbed him as he sped towards the portal door.
Abel did not chase after. The rank 20 holy knight was too quick. Even if he could move in a flash, he could not stop him. He could not kill a single holy knight with his own ability anyway.
He was very sure. He only got lucky this time. There was no way he could hurt a holy knight if they were prepared.
The rank 20 holy knight sped into the blue portal and glanced back at Abel like he was the worst enemy when he disappeared. He was not the first holy knight who looked at Abel this way, and he wouldn’t be the last.
