Chapter 712 – Honor for the Country (1/2)

Chapter 712 - Honor for the Country

I clenched my teeth. I wasn’t about to lose my objective, I hadn’t even killed the healer yet. I figured that my chances of success weren’t very high however and the situation was already too dangerous. The enemy’s archer and berserker had already locked their targets onto Dong Cheng. If Dong Cheng died, then our attack power would drastically decrease.

As I was running forward, a wave of ice surged forth before the Flying Scythe War Horse.

The moment that [Ice Domain] activated, The enemy clergy “Moonlit Bank” cleverly cast a [Anti-Magic Shell] to protect herself. She had completely dodged the ice seal effect of [Ice Domain]. At the same time, she used a group [Purification]. What a smart English girl. She was actually able to find the loophole in my skill at such a critical moment. The ice seal effect of Smile and Apollo had been purified.

I felt a shock run through my heart. Did they guess it, or…. Or did they already know the weakness of my skill?

……

The most damaging part of this all was that the enemy’s mage was also very smart. The moment he was defrosted, he shot a [Fierce Ice Arrow] into my chest. He was actually going to kite me at a time like this. At the same time, he lazily threw a [Eagle Lightning Formation] into Dong Cheng’s [Mana Shield]. With a dazzling light, he gave Dong Cheng a [Lullaby], and interrupted her [Lightning Eagle Formation].

“Good chance!” Smile shouted, “Slaughterer, kill her!”

Crimson light began to glow on the berserker’s axe, it was the [Blood Axe] skill. The skill increased the attack speed and attack power of the user by 30%. He dashed forward and threw [Burn the Boats]+[Skyshaker Slash] against Dong Cheng’s [Mana Shield]. Then, with the archers [Rising Dragon Shot]+[God of Archer], instantly dropping Dong Cheng’s health to critical.

“Oh no!”

Wan Er darted behind the berserker and threw a stab. At the same time she shouted, “Dong Cheng, be careful!”

Dong Cheng waved her staff. She was awoken from the [Lullaby] right as she was about to face death. That Slaughterer had aimed his battle axe right at her face. With this attack, Dong Cheng would most likely be instantly killed. Her total health was around 20,000 and that berserker’s attack power was not to be underestimated.

This was the most critical moment. Dong Cheng’s reaction had surprised everyone. She activated [Dimensional Leap], jumping towards us. Besides dodging the berserker’s attack, she waved her hand and threw a [Thunderbolt Finger]. Lightning flashed, surrounding Apollo and Smile’s bodies. She turned around and fired a [Ice Arrow] at the mage, instantly decreasing the mage’s speed.

……

“Die!”

Slaughterer turned his horse at Dong Cheng and then charged forward while Smile cornered her with a [Heroic Ram]!

Wan Er waved her hand, halting her initial moves for [Ice Pick Whirlwind] and softly said to Qing Qan in the team chat, “Li Xiao Yao, kill that berserker!”

I raised my right hand and threw a Seven Star Fragment Slash at Summer. At the same time, I threw my Brilliant Flame Emperor into the air. “Pu Chi Pu Chi!” my [Blade Spin] pieced through the berserker’s body twice, killing him at once!

“Peng!”

Before Dong Cheng had the chance to use her second [Dimensional Leap], she was stunned by Smile. He threw a stab with his spear and starlight flashed. Our number one mage also fell to the ground.

But my opportunity had finally arrived. I turned my Flying Scythe War Horse at Summer and dealt two cuts with my swords crossed. That mage’s [Mana Shield]’s durability dropped to 10%.

Summer quickly used his second [Dimensional Leap]. I raised my hand and used [Defeat the Dragon], and instantly grabbed Summer to my side. I could even see the shock and terror in his blue eyes as he used his third [Dimensional Leap]!

“Shua!”

My [Dragon’s Hook] plunged through Summer’s back. Once I activated it, he was pulled back to my side. This time, he can’t run. “Ding!” a golden hexagram appeared on the tip of my blade and I let a chain of attacks explode. Summer fell to his knees.

……

Behind me, Smile was like a loose wild horse now that he didn’t have the pressure of a mage’s firepower concentrated on him. He activated a [Blazing Shield] skill. The shield was only broken after Wan Er and Qing Qian had used up a whole chain of attacks. After all of their energy had been used, assassin’s had a clear drop in the damage of their attacks.

“Peng!”

Smile rammed his heavy shield while he was on his battle horse. Wan Er picked up her iron umbrella to parry the blow and was knocked backwards. She immediately raised her dagger and charged at Smile. However, not far from them, Qing Qian was stunned by Apollo’s [Scatter Shot]. Smile urged his horse forward as his spear glowed with the light from [Starlight Slash]. Our loli vice guildmaster fell and died.

I quickly charged at Apollo and said, “Darling Duck, don’t heal us anymore. Revive Dong Cheng!”

“Apollo, move towards me!” Smile shouted. He raised his hand and starlight began to rise from the ground. At that moment, he activated a Holy Ghost Second Tier Skill——[Eternal Star City]!

Starlight covered everything within a 30 yard radius. It was as though Wan Er, Darling Duck and I had been trapped in quicksand, completely slowing down our movements.

I hardened my heart and raised my blade. Golden light soared into the sky. Thankfully, I hadn’t used my [Halberd Flame] skill yet and so I still had enough Rage points. I activated my special skill——[King Domain]!

All of the stats for Wan Er and I had exponentially increased. I raised my palm and activated [Thundering Heavens] to cover the area! Right now, all I hoped for was Smile and Apollo to come after me. After all, my Holy Ghost Second Tier, [Invincibility] gives me 25 seconds of impenetrability. Once they try to kill me, then they’re loss is guaranteed!

……

Unfortunately, Smile wasn’t an idea. He turned his horse around and charged at Wan Er as he swung his spear, “Moonlit, don’t hesitate any longer. Revive Summer. We’ll only gain victory if we have his magic firepower!”

Moonlit Bank quietly stood there, stunned and abashed, “Smile, I can’t….”

“Why can’t you?!” Smile was starting to panic.
