Chapter 825 - Embarrassed And Battered (1/2)

Norfeller was facing that exact situation now. Although five Death Knights were besieging Norfeller, none of them were his match at all. However, the perfect cooperation between the five Death Knights made his speed almost useless. They were greatly restricting his movements, and even though he was moving from left to right like a black ray of lightning, he was still like a bug trapped in a transparent jar which could never break through the invisible walls.

The attacks that Norfeller launched were all blocked by the Death Knights, and Norfeller’s figure also appeared in between the Death Knights. There was a tinge of panic on his sullen face, and even though he was well aware that he wouldn’t be able to share much of his master’s burden with his current abilities, since the enemy was too overpowering, he still didn’t mind risking his life to grasp even the slightest opportunity for his master.

Norfeller grabbed the Retribution Daggers, each embellished with Gems of Curse, with his pale hands while staring coldly at the five Death Knights. Maroon tattoos climbed out of the collar and cuffs of the robe and quickly covered Norfeller’s exposed skin. His pale face became even more terrifying and menacing because of the blood-red lines. The b.l.o.o.d.y odor that his body emitted also became increasingly stronger.

Back in the green dragon’s lair, Norfeller drank the blood of three green dragons. Although it was the lowest-level type among all wyrms, it was still a true descendant of the ancient wyrms, after all. The power in its blood was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine. The ma.s.sive power contained in the dragon blood was not consumed entirely when Norfeller entered the Legendary-realm, and there was still a large portion of it left, which would even be enough to support him until he reached level-24.

At this moment, Norfeller squeezed out the remaining power in his blood, and although it was beyond what his body could take, it was enough to make his abilities rise by a small level within a short period of time. Although he knew that his improved strength would have a very insignificant effect on the current situation, he still did it nonetheless.

In the blink of an eye, Norfeller’s body was already engulfed in the thick blood flames, and two red rays of light almost a meter long were released from the Retribution Daggers in his hands. The violent and bloodthirsty aura seemed to be surging towards the Death Knights in the surroundings. Under the oppression of the aura, even the Death Knights who had once carried out a ma.s.sacre in the Breezy Plains under the Retribution Knight Rodhart could not help but break into a commotion.

“BOOM!”

Norfeller suddenly appeared in front of a Death Knight, and the two red rays of light emitted from the Retribution Daggers overlapped on the Death Knight’s body. His lance broke, and the Nightmare Beast wailed while its body crumbled into pieces because of the red light. At this moment, Norfeller who was in the middle of the Death Knights that were surrounding him looked a little illusory while the red flames shrouded his body.

Norfeller’s sudden eruption was beyond the Death Knights’ expectations. After all, the Death Knights were actually only at the peak of level-19. Although Rodhart’s supportive magic spells had given them some a.s.sistance, and the Death Knights could also exert powerful combat power above the Legendary-level through their seamless cooperation[1], it would be impossible for them to resist the attacks of level-23 powerhouses if they were singled out.

After attacking successfully, Norfeller did not continue attacking, and instead rushed towards the center of the palace without stopping because his master was struggling while fighting the terrifying Retribution Knight.

However, the hundreds of Death Knights that Rodhart had summoned were still terrifying and not to be belittled, even though their army was no longer as big as it used to be. Although Norfeller had killed a Death Knight and broken away from the encirclement, there were more Death Knights rus.h.i.+ng towards him and surrounding him before he could even get far.

In the blink of an eye, Norfeller was once again surrounded by a formation made up of 10 Death Knights that cooperated seamlessly, making it impossible for him to advance again. Everything seemed to have returned to normal. Although Norfeller had unleashed all his potential, he was again blocked by a stronger wall, and could only roar furiously under the siege of the Death Knights.

The Lich Ujfalusi was riding the Humerus Wyrm and waving the Skeleton Staff not too far away from Norfeller. He continuously released Necromagic spells and moved around with more than 10 Death Knights. Although the Humerus Wyrm could still fly in the air, the Death Knights’ Nightmare Beast could also move in the air. Their power and abilities were not affected at all. Hence, it was rather difficult for Ujfalusi to deal with them.

On the ground, a black vortex was continuously spitting out an Undead Army that consisted of Skeletal Warriors that formed hordes, h.e.l.l Ghouls which were launching h.e.l.lfire bombs, and Skeleton Mages who were waving Skeleton Staffs. All sorts of Undead creatures surged out of the vortex like a grayish white tide.

However, the triangle formed by the three Death Knights blocked the front of the Undead Army like an efficient grinder. The three black lances were stirring up bones and ashes which seemed like heavy snowfall. The Necromancers had always been proud of the daunting Tide of Death which brought endless horror to the world. However, it was firmly restrained from advancing by the three Death Knights, and regardless of how many Undead creatures there were, it was impossible for them to force the three Death Knights to retreat.

Compared to Norfeller, Ujfalusi wasn’t as loyal to Lin Li. After all, he only chose to surrender to Lin Li and become his slave because his life was threatened. However, regardless of whether he was willing or not, the binding power of the Soul Contract made Ujfalusi too scared to even show the slightest dissatisfaction with Lin Li under any circ.u.mstances. Otherwise, Lin Li would be able to extinguish his soul fire easily.

However, in the current situation, Ujfalusi was not going all out and risking his life like Norfeller did, even though he didn’t spare any effort, either. Although he would have to be buried with Lin Li if the latter died, he would not take the initiative to reverse the sequence and die before Lin Li did.

Besides, Ujfalusi also knew that no matter how much power he put out, it would be futile in the face of the Sanctuary-level Retribution Knight. He felt that it would be better to buy some time by holding the Death Knights back and share some of the burden with Lin Li.

On the other side of the palace, the Lord of Nightmares and the Crimson Dragon were also surrounded by several Death Knights. The Lord of Nightmares was actually rather powerful. After all, he was chosen to be sealed in the Summoning Lamp by Osric. How could it be weak? Unfortunately, he was good at mental strength attacks, which the Death Knights and Nightmare Beasts were highly immune to. Hence, he could not quite handle the four Death Knights that were his opponents.
