Chapter 157 Defense Battle 3 (1/2)

”Beware! The enemy main troops are coming!” Officer Molke shouted to remind all of the soldiers and students.

Splassh... A blood gushed out from nearby noble student's arm. When the enemy thief tried to follow up his attack, that noble's guard intercept the attack. Meanwhile, a warm light covered the injured noble student healing him.

Although, there were huge level disparity between the student and the enemies, however the remaining student already proved their own strength. They were not a pushover. They could still maintain to receive one hit from the enemies. Moreover, with the help of teamwork and cleric they could stand up against one enemy.

Seeing his attack was failing, the thief retreat a bit, then looked out for another weak and unprotected target. They also looked for an opportunity to strike at the cleric. However, it was very difficult since the cleric was protected from all side.

An enemy thief aimed at nearby commoner student. Pulling out his knife, he activated his movement skill and move fast towards the unaware student.

Before the knife could slashed the student vital point, a [Wind Slash] stopped his advance. A noble student launched that attack to him. Although, the [Wind Slash] could stop his advance but it didn't enough to stop his attack.

The thief moved out still targeting the same commoner student disregarding the noble student who already stopped his advance. The thief tried to use [Vital Strike], a deadly skill for thief that 100% produce a critical attack and 100% stun the target for 1 second.

Although, the stun was only last for 1 second, however for a thief who was aiming kill the target in short time, that 1 second enough to link it with another skill and kill the target.

At first, the commoner student didn't aware that a thief targeting him, however, after the noble student manage to stop the thief advance, the commoner student aware of this. He recognized the thief tried to use [Vital Strike] to him. He tried to dodge however, it was late to dodge.

The student tried to block the attack although he knew that blocking didn't mean anything. He raised his swords to block it. With fast speed, the thief dagger also coming towards the student.

However, before the dagger and sword could connect, a [Fire Bolt] hit the thief moving hand which held the dagger. The [Fire Bolt] managed to deflect the attack of the thief. The thief gnashed his teeth knowing his chance was gone. He retreated back and looked at the direction where the [Fire Bolt] came.

There stood a male mage looking back at him, then the mage looked at another direction where another battle took place. That mage was Auron.

Every time Auron launched a spell, the enemy was attack was stopped or failed. Although, the damage from his spell was not that great, but the timing of his spell was precise. It managed to come at crucial moment and saving lives.

It was thanks to his position as a mage that positioned at the back, he manage to calmly calculated the enemy attack and launched a counter attack at precise moment. However, in a crowded and intense battle, this behavior was difficult to recognize. Moreover, with a weak damage it didn't raise any attention.
