Chapter 485 - Legendary Battle (1/2)

485 Legendary Battle

Mountain forest

Felina hid behind a big tree and looked at the large mass of soldiers in the distance. After carefully counting the number, she jumped down and whistled. Then she ran towards Gladstone City.

After a while, two companions appeared beside her.

“Did you see? There are two Nagas with Duke Abel,” Felina said while running.

“I saw. It seems he’s completely fallen.”

“This is a disaster.”

Felina nodded. “We must tell the duke now.”

Another figure jumped down in another direction of the forest. It was Skinorse. He started sprinting deep into the forest while mumbling, “I knew Abel had problems. This guy actually dragged all the soldiers to massacre the city. Holy crap.”

After a while, he reached the waterfall where Kanorse and the others were hiding. “Morrigan,” he yelled. “Open the door.”

After calling three times, the waterfall split open, and Morrigan walked out. He cast a Levitation spell from 150 feet away before Skinorse could jump in. Once inside the cave, he explained everything he’d seen.

Annie was awake by now, though she was still very weak. She was curled up with a blanket in the corner. Hearing Skinorse’s news, her expression darkened. Feeling down, she sat in the corner without a sound.

No matter what, Duke Abel was her father. The others couldn’t comfort her about this. They could only stay silent with her.

After a long while, Kanorse suddenly asked, “How’s the plague in Gladstone?”

“Not sure, but Master Link’s there. I’m sure there won’t be a problem… Don’t look at me like that. I ran around so much, and my legs even got thinner. I need to rest.”

Kanorse shook his head. “My injury is already better. I can’t just watch the general do this. I must stop him even if I die!”

Duke Abel must have feared Kanorse would stop him last time in Garrason, so he sent Kanorse away. When he returned, the killing was already over.

If he had been present, he definitely wouldn’t let the general do that.

Skinorse couldn’t understand this. Throwing up his hands, he said in disbelief, “Hey, you’re not his match at all. Abel’s power is too deep to understand now. I just glanced at him from afar, and he seemed to notice. He looked over at my hiding spot many times. My soul almost flew out in shock. I think that you should just rest up first. It’ll be better if you break into Level-9. Then it’s possible to defeat him!”

Beside them, Morrigan also urged, “Kanorse, didn’t you hear Skinorse? Duke Abel has 40,000 people with him. You’re injured. If you go, you’ll just waste your life.”

Kanorse shook his head. “No, my father was a stable hand for the Abel family. It was the general who gave me the chance to learn martial arts when I was young. If he wants to venture into darkness and murder, he must step past my body.”

As he spoke, he walked to the mouth of the cave. “I’m going. Please take care of Princess Annie.”

Without waiting for anyone’s reply, he jumped out of the cave. After he disappeared, everyone exchanged glances awkwardly.

“He’s going to die if he goes. No doubt about it.” Skinorse shrugged.

“Not exactly,” Morrigan said. “The Ferde lord will be there too, and you said he has King Leon. Maybe he can successfully revoke Duke Abel’s military control?”

Moya, who hadn’t said a word all this time, suddenly said, “You’re wrong. Those 40,000 soldiers aren’t to fight against Master Link. The military control is meaningless too. Those soldiers are there to restrict the master’s power.”

“What do you mean?” Morrigan was just a Level-5 Magician. He didn’t really understand a top Magician’s power.

“Let me put it like this,” Skinorse explained. “At the Orida Fortress, Master Link once used a ranged attack to destroy the Dark Elves and demon army. Each time, he killed more than 30,000 within ten minutes. A mortal is powerless against him. If he tries, the 40,000 soldiers will be obliterated instantly. But he won’t do that, obviously. With the soldiers present, Master Link must restrain himself while fighting…”

Morrigan gulped. He was first shaken and then worried. “Holding yourself back in a battle of life or death… According to you, General Abel already has Legendary strength. The black-haired Naga is at the Legendary level too, and the other Naga isn’t weak either. How can we fight?”

Skinorse sighed. “I don’t know. This is tricky.”
