Chapter 649 - Burning Island 2 (2/2)
The captain, who identified the enemy’s real identity, warned his men.
Every single one of them that heard the message went into the line.
“One, two, three… Thirty-two in total.”
“Captain, normal attacks don’t work on them.”
In a short moment, the rider, who managed to compete with a Death Knight, frowned.
“I know.”
The captain of the Triton unit had fought a Death Knight in the Lamer City during the last Undead attack.
He knew that a Death Knight could smash a Gigant.
A Death Knight was a lot faster and stronger compared to normal humans.
A normal Gigant wouldn’t even stand a chance against them. Dealing with more than 30 Death Knights wouldn’t be possible for a weak Triton.
“Of course, that is if we use normal attack.”
Death Knights were strong but not invincible. They had an obvious weakness.
“You are talking about that?”
“Yes, it is time to use that!”
At the captain’s words, the riders pulled out a large glass bottle from the leather pouch, which was hanging by every Triton’s waist, and threw it at the running Death Knights.
Crack!
Splash!
The glass bottle, which broke, spilled all over the Death Knight.
Kiikki!
Kikikiki!
Death Knights that were covered in the water ran wild.
Black smoke rose on their bodies as if they were set on fire.
“Your Majesty’s Holy Water is working!”
“Even if they are Death Knights, they are the Undead.”
Before attacking the island, Luke discovered the Undead coffins.
There might be strong Undead like those who attacked the southern coast of the Symphonia Kingdom, so everyone prepared countermeasures.
And what they came up was the Holy Water, which was made by infusing water with Divine power.
“Pour Holy Water on your swords! A weapon with Divine power will do a great deal of damage on them!”
At the orders of their captain, Triton riders took out the Holy Water from their pouch and poured it over their swords.
KiKikikii!
The bodies of the Death Knights were covered in Holy Water and melted like a candle.
The Tritons that applied Holy Water on their swords ran ahead and crushed the Death Knights.
The moment they cleared the Death Knights, a new one appeared.
The Lich.
Five low and intermediate Lich were flying in the sky and directed magic attacks toward the Tritons.
The riders weren’t aware, but the low-level Lich could use magic up to 7th circle and the intermediate one could use 8th circle.
Swoosh!
Bang!
Crack!
Black flames and lightning burst everywhere.
With the powerful magic coming at them, the Triton captain yelled to his men, “Damn, don’t face them head-on. Try to avoid it!”
However, despite his warning, about half of his men were hit and their Gigants were destroyed.
In fact, the attack toward him and his fallen allies made the Triton captain stunned.
During that time, another group of Death Knights and warlocks appeared from the woods.
“Kukkku! How dare you people come to this place?!”
“Kill all of those who attacked our Veritas Magic Tower and turn them into Undead!”
The warlocks that appeared were the elders of the tower and their disciples, who run from the pyramid to stop the attack.
In order to prevent the enemy from landing, they considered it urgent to wipe out all of the Triton troops and take control of the pier.
However, the riders of Triton, who took the lead in the pier, didn’t seem like easy opponents to deal with.
It was because Luke made the unit of Triton based on skilled knights, who had strong sword skills.
“Use Flash Bullets!”
The Tritons used Flash Bullets that contained Holy Water in all directions.
Pop! Bang! Pop!
Dazzling flashes burst on earth.
When they saw the bright flash caused by the Holy water, the warlocks closed their eyes.
As they stopped giving orders, the movement of the Undead stopped for a brief moment.
In the meantime, the Triton troops grabbed the fallen Gigants and escaped from that spot.
“Those rats!”
“They think they can live by running away!”
One of the elder warlocks led his two Undead to pursue the Triton troops.
But just then, a fire rang from afar and huge shells fell at him.
“Th-this is!”
The disciple of an elder tried to use shield magic in a hurry.
However, the shell fell a lot faster than his magic.
Auster’s large-caliber shells that could smash any Gigant went for the Undead and warlocks.
The elder screamed at the disciples since they were slow to react.
“What are you doing?! Shells are pouring in! Hurry up and deploy the shield magic!”
The Tritons used Flash Bullet not just to escape, but they used it to tie their opponent’s feet and inform the sailors of the Auster on where to fire.
“Shield magic, hurry…!”
Swoosh!
As the elder shouted, shells rained on them.
As a result, the elders couldn’t pursue the Triton troops and were busy looking for ways to survive the shelling.
