721 Grand Sorcerer Mu En Part 1 (1/2)

Mu En was from Qin so he was fully aware of the abilities of Qin iron knights. Since he was sandwiched amongst the six jade skeletons, he had no choice but to charge towards the Qin iron knights.

Qin heavy-armored knights weighed close to two-thousand pounds including both human, horse, their armors, and their weapons. All the warhorses were equivalent to grade-1 or grade-2 magic beasts that feared neither water nor flames. They would continue to charge fearlessly ahead even if it was a sea of flames ahead of them.

Qin heavy-armored knights were at least high-level swordsmen. They had no problems wielding weapons of thirty to fifty pounds even if they were in full armor.

The armor worn by the horses protected even their limbs. There was a metal ram on their chest that could break down big shields.

The long spears carried by the heavy-armored knights were alchemy equipment that could negate spells and pierce through normal heavy armor easily.

Even if they did not wield any weapons, the way the heavy-armored knights charged could easily break the bones of those they made contact with.

If these heavy-armored knights were given magic heavy swords, their ability to kill would be overwhelming. The winged skeleton was one of the rare spirits of the dead that was willing to read up so he was familiar with the way Qin armies fought. It was strange that he would match his death knights up against the heavy-armored knights.

Death knights could easily handle light-armored knights, but only powerful spells could deal with heavy-armored knights.

Mu En followed the winged skull's instructions and held up the magic staff in his hands. Gray-colored waves dispersed violently. The moment these waves swept across the death troops, it was as if they had consumed some drug that increased the speed of their movements as they charged at the heavy-armored knights.

As they were charging at their highest speed, Mu En pointed his magic staff ahead. As he pointed, the winged skeleton triggered the spell that had been stored in the staff.

Sorcerers usually would not be willing to get so close to heavy-armored knights unless they were flying in the air without the threat of alchemy crossbows. Under the control of the winged skeleton, Mu En, the fake mage, did some things that caught the heavy-armored knights by surprise; he commanded the skeletal warhorses to charge towards the Qin iron knights.

A sorcerer's combat abilities would never surpass a swordmaster. Even if his spells could kill one-hundred to two-hundred men, the remaining knights would still be after his life.

A spell was cast instantly from the magic staff in the form of black fog that condensed into an evil dragon. The dragon dove straight into the midst of the heavy-armored knights.

This black evil dragon was three-headed and wherever it passed, the armor and muscles of the heavy-armored knights turned to ash, leaving behind entire sets of skeletons. Even the warhorses underneath them were not spared.

The black evil dragon was attacking the heavy-armored knights at will. Even silver grand swordmasters could only try to hide from grade-8 death spells. Although this was not a spell that attacked multiple targets at once, it was able to stay in effect for a long time under the control of the death mage.

Hundreds of heavy-armored knights were turned into skeletons by the black evil dragon. Soul flames suddenly burned in the eyes of these skeletons as they turned into skeleton knights directly. A long bone spear appeared in their hands and they began to kill their former companions around them.

Spirit form was a rare death spell. The winged skeleton was not a death mage, but a spirit of the dead himself, which made it easier for him to cast or store. The black evil dragon was immune to physical attacks so the heavy-armored knights were helpless against it.

In no time, more than three-hundred heavy-armored knights had been turned into skeletons by the black evil dragon.

The winged skeleton threw six white-robed mages to the jade skeletons to be put behind the warhorses. These six mages had already lost consciousness. Although spirit shock was not a high-level spell, it was still effective against these low-level mages.

The three-hundred or so skeletal knights had completely messed up the heavy-armored knights' formation. It would have been better if they only turned into ashes. By turning from companion to spirit of the dead suddenly, the impact on the remaining heavy-armored knights was incredible.

Nevertheless, these heavy-armored knights were considered elite as they began to chop away at the skeletal knights around them. Now that their attention had been diverted, the death knights were able to charge all the way unhindered. The black evil dragon began to dissipate as another one-hundred knights turned into skeletons.

A grade-8 spell alone managed to eliminate more than four-hundred heavy-armored knights. This was completely accidental. The heavy-armored knights were clustered together behind the chariots with huge alchemy crossbows opening up the way. They never expected any mage to dare to come within such a short distance, much less a death mage.

If an element sorcerer were to cast a spell and successfully killed more than one-hundred men, he was already considered lucky. If not for the pursuit of speed, the heavy-armored knights would not have gathered on the road and resulted in so many casualties by caused by spirit form.

The remaining heavy-armored knights were going mad. They were all experienced warriors and were aware that the heavy losses that they had suffered were due to their formation. The captain behind pointed at Mu En and shouted, ”Charge ahead and kill him. Don't let him fly!”

Some heavy-armored knights immediately slowed down and took out their javelins. The moment Mu En showed any intention to fly and leave the safety boundaries provided by the skeletons around him, they would shoot these javelins at him.

Mu En did not know how to fly at all though. Indeed, he was courageous, but he would never think of charging at Qin's main forces. Right now, he could only pray the winged skeleton would not do anything insane. If he was going to die, it had better be for something worthwhile.

A small team of forty iron knights gathered in a single direction and charged at Mu En. The winged skeleton was pleased. He wielded his giant axe and attacked as well. In no time, Mu En had become a magnet attracting all the enemies. As a swordmaster, there was no way he could escape. He could only wield his magic staff around, as if he was commanding his spirits of the dead.
