Chapter 554 - Straight Into The Trap 3 (1/2)
Kabooommmmm-!
All of a sudden, a huge explosion occurred right behind the Guard Knights and Hwang Bo-sung, who were guarding the sanctuary.
With the huge force the explosion did, the Gigants bounced back a few dozen meters away, and some of the Gigants smashed into the ground or were covered by the debris of the fallen buildings.
Boom! Kwang!
“Ugh!”
Due to the unexpected explosion which shook them, the knights that fell down along with their Gigants, feeling extreme pain.
However, thanks to the thick armor and the defensive magic circles on their Gigants, they were able to escape the worst possible case.
No rider had died in there.
Hwang Bo-sung, who got up first, looked back at the sanctuary in dismay.
“M-master…”
The sanctuary couldn’t disappear.
There were huge stones, which made up the magnificent structure of it, just a moment ago.
“Kuek!”
“Uhk!”
The knights, who were getting up one after the other, groaned in pain and asked with despair in their voices, “C-commander!”
“What are we supposed to do now?”
“What do you mean by that?! Search for His Majesty right away!”
Right when the knights, who were ordered by Hwang Bo-sung, tried to approach the ruins
Crack! Crackk!
All of a sudden, the large stones in the structure of the sanctuary moved, and Gigants jump out of there.
Hwang Bo-sung and the knights were shocked to see what had happened.
“W-what was that? An ambush!”
“How many Gigants were being hidden there?!”
The grey colored Gigants, whose origin couldn’t be understood by the Symphonia Knights, rushed over to the Symphonia Gigants.
However, neither Hwang Bo-sung nor his knights were too shocked to stand still.
Their instincts were honed through the battles they fought alongside Luke. They hurriedly began to attack the enemy Gigants that were circling them.
Kang! Clang!
Puck! Puckk!
The situation seemed to be against the Symphonia Guard Knights.
Surely, the Gigants of Symphonia had better output and performance, yet most of their Gigants had lost their swords and shields in the previous explosion.
Hwang Bo-sung, who was proficient in close combat and martial arts, was able to hold his ground by using the Trinity Martial skills.
“Do not panic! If there is no weapon on you, pick up the weapons that were dropped by the enemy and fight back!”
Despite the constant guidance from Hwang Bo-sung, the situation of his knights didn’t improve by much.
It was because the number of men, who were there to ambush them, were huge.
Hwang Bo-sung began to sigh after seeing the Gigants of his knights fall down one after the other.
They were going to get wiped out before they even know where their Master was!
Crack!
“Kuk, this!”
Hwang Bo-sung, who knocked down the enemy Gigant that had approached him with the Trinity Punch, seemed frustrated with the fact that the right arm of his Gigant was damaged.
Unlike his Puppet, the Gigant wasn’t a weapon designed to withstand close combat.
Even when used with aura, it was made for the purpose of holding a weapon.
“Come here! Get rid of him!”
Noticing that the right arm was broken, the enemy Gigants rushed toward Hwang Bo-sung.
Right when Hwang Bo-sung had switched from offensive to defensive position.
The land beneath them began to tear apart.
Crack!
“Kuakkk!”
A sudden explosion made the Gigants fall.
However, Hwang Bo-sung and his knights didn’t seem to be too glad.
They wouldn’t be at ease until they saw a Gigant rise from the cracks and confirmed it to be the Gigant of their King, Avenger.
“Hehehe! I got them at the right time!”
Luke smiled after seeing the enemies look irritated.
Hwang Bo-sung managed to approach him and ask with concern, “Master, are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere?”
“I’m completely fine. The moment the explosion happened, I summoned my Avenger and boarded it.”
The moment Archbishop Antero triggered the explosion magic, Luke had created a distance between him and them by using Blink and summoned his Avenger from his subspace bracelet.
And he knew that being in the Gigant would be better for him than to face the explosion with his bare body.
Luke boarded his Avenger and began to use a lot of shield magic layers.
The shield magic that was amplified by the core engine managed to keep Luke safe inside Avenger during the explosion.
“Huh. For a second, my mind began to realize. Even a priest who held his hands out for God, eventually, he is nothing but a human being… And I just learned that even he could be brainwashed.”
Luke’s words seemed calm and casual, but Hwang Bo-sung and the Guard Knights could feel the rage in his words.
It was because the energy flowing out of Avenger was terrifying.
It was as if they were witnessing the demons that were summoned from Hell.
“I did get a very good experience from it. Now, how am I supposed to reward those men who have given me such great and different kind of experience?”
Luke turned his Gigant toward his enemies that didn’t fall from the previous shock.
He could never imagine for a Gigant ambush to take place even after falling into the explosion trap.
Luke was too focused on the zombie disease and securing the area that he hadn’t paid much attention to the traps of the Gigants or the mana circles that were sealed by Baymon.
While Luke was trying to figure out how to deal with them, the enemy Gigants had recovered from the shock and were ready to engage in battle.
“The enemy’s head has appeared! If we can kill him, the true disciple of God will give us great rewards!”
“Attack him! God’s warriors!”
The shouts of those that seemed to be commanders rang through the place.
The enemy Gigants rushed toward Avenger all at once.
When Hwang Bo-sung and his knights tried to counterattack, Luke stopped them.
“Guards, stand by.”
“Master, but how…?”
“These men had given me a great experience. Shouldn’t I show them my true skills as a sign of gratitude? That way, even if they die, they will understand what I mean.”
Luke was so upset with the enemy ambush that he wanted to wipe out all his enemies.
‘True skills of Master in the sense…?’
