Chapter 596: Stunning Everyone (2/2)

The enemy magic knights at the front row raised their shields and blocked our ranged attacks. This time, the bombardment didn’t nearly go as well because their defense line was tankier, and they were cooperating with each other much better than before. That being said, a lot of magic knights still collapsed under our arrow rain. Beiming Xue’s archers were just too powerful.

Thud thud thud…

The magic knights at the front fell off their horses and died, but that didn’t stop the players at the back from pushing forward. Stepping on their comrades’ bodies and continuing on their way, their archers and mages finally got into attack range and began retaliating in earnest. The archers drew their bows and started firing their own Far Shots at our frontliners.

Clang clang clang clang! My HP decreased, but it was completely inconsequential. 200 damage was nothing at all. My comrades couldn’t claim the same thing, however. Some of the lower-level players lost 50% of their HP in no time. They were only surviving because our numerous priests kept healing them non-stop.

I smiled. ”Alright, it’s time. High-level fighters, move to the front and keep the enemy twenty yards away from our formation! Don’t give them the chance to engage us in melee!”

”Got it!”

Xu Yang, Chaos Moon, Li Chengfeng, High Fighting Spirits, and the others moved immediately. I was the fastest of all of them as I engaged three magic knights from the first subguild of Throne Seeker. Their levels were between 125 to 130, and they were all wielding spears. To my surprise, they actually let out a high-spirited laugh after they saw me. ”Hahaha, who is this? It’s one of the strongest fighters of Sky City, the Little Heavenly King Falling Dust! Let’s kill him and show the world that he’s nowhere near as good as he's made out to be, hahaha~~~”

An involuntary smile crept to my face as I released the Sky Obsidian Greedy Wolf. Then, I charged toward the three magic knights!

Whoosh!

The moment I got within range, I immediately executed Burning Blade Slash!

Swhoosh swhoosh swhoosh!

The three magic knights turned pale and raised their shields in a hurry to guard against the flaming sword aura. However, they were naive to think that this level of defense was enough to stop me. Flicking my wrist and changing my attack angle to bottom-up, I knocked their shields above their heads with the second strike and cut down both men and horse with the third strike. A bunch of damage numbers popped above their heads—

4902!

13829!

20192!

That satisfied my bloodlust greatly. Magic knights at their level were seriously fragile!

I let out a shout and swung my sword in front of me. Thousand Ice Slash fell from the sky and landed at the center of a group, dealing an insane amount of damage to all the players caught within the blast radius. The one strike was so powerful that it had carved an entire hole in the enemy’s formation. Players died and covered the ground in potions and equipment.

”Holy shit, how powerful is he? Archers, why the fuck are you standing there and doing nothing? Shoot him! Fighters, Charge! Those with Barrier Break should go first!” an assassin shouted.

A warrior responded to the command, ”Like hell we’re charging until our archers are done with him, not to mention that there are less than 20 people in our subguild who have Barrier Break, and not all of them are here…”

The enemy archers started focusing me, forcing me to raise my left arm and block them with my wristguard. It was unfortunate that I was a warrior and not a magic knight, or I would be able to equip a shield and block the attack perfectly. Of course, no class was really better than the other. A warrior didn’t have a magic knight’s insane defense, but a magic knight didn’t have a warrior’s insane attack power either.

A dozen or so fighters tried to surround me from all directions, so I stomped the ground and killed all of them with War Crush. Before they could recover from their shock, I tossed out an Ice Cyclone Domain onto a crowd and Barrier Break’d a nearby target, killing a dozen or so archers in rapid succession. Then, I tossed my sword at the distance and watched as Sword Boomerang sliced through a couple of mages who hadn’t activated their shields!

Thud!

After my sword had returned to me, I immediately slashed my left and right side and knocked two assassins out of stealth. The idiots thought they could ambush me while my Dark Pupils were active, and I proved it with the sword in my hand that their efforts were completely futile. They probably didn’t know how they died until it was too late.

Crack crack!

I did a series of rapid slashes and sent a Level 132 magic knight stumbling backward. Suddenly a bright flash appeared from my ring—it was the Silver Dragon Ring triggering its Silver Dragon Storm again—and I launched a fearsome-looking silver dragon into the crowd. Everyone and everything that stood in its path was annihilated.

……

The skill subsided a couple of seconds later. All the Throne Seeker players around me forgot what they were doing and stared stupidly at me.
