Chapter 26 Close combat (2/2)

Just after the goblin saw white light flying towards him he almost fainted from fear and when he heard that loud bang when Shaar used his shield to block that short spear, he immediately started screaming.

“Oh?” The knight’s eyes lit up. This fellow actually managed to block my spear with his shield?

Running quickly towards that goblin, Shaar started to stare cautiously at the knight while quickly picking up his shield.

The spot where the short spear hit the great shield was already dented and it also left behind a short but deep scratch! This made Shaar very anxious – this was the best weapon he ever had.

“Magical beast hunter, you are quite skilled.” The expression of the knight was somewhat gloomy. He tightened the saber in his hand and declared: “But you declined my good intentions!”

“Even if it’s a goblin, he’s my soso.” Shaar kept his head high: “If you can’t even protect your own spoils of war, then you don’t need to try your luck in Primal Wildfire.”

“I have to ask you a question.” The knight turned his horse and encircled him: “Do you come all the way from south? Did you encounter any other humans?”

Shaar shook his head: “Only met you.”

“Hm.”The knight gave him a cold laugh: “Really?”

Shaar did not speak and calmly observed the other party.

“Alright.” The knight mumbled something and his eyes suddenly flashed a strong blood thirst: “Kill him.”

Just when his voice vanished, the another knight already rushed forward! When the horse’s hoof ran two steps, the knight was already wielding his saber. With his horse flying forward, that fellow bent over his body sticking closer to his horse, creating a perfect unity between man and horse. That sharp saber in his hand was still stained with blood from a previous battle! Under the sunlight, this glowing piece of people cutting blade was awe-inspiring!!

With one shout, rider, horse and blade arrived in an instant!!

Rushing in front of Shaar, this knight quickly struck down his saber!

Hiding behind that rock, the Pitiful Creature’s legs became soft from shock!

The moment the other party rushed towards him, Shaar had already squinted his eyes transforming into two slits and flashed cold killing intent. Preparing his balance, he took a small step backwards and prepared his body while facing the incoming horse. He subconsciously leaned his body and lowered his center of gravity ……

Bang!!!

With a dull noise, both men staggered and Shaar was greeted with the full force of both horse and saber. In that moment, he suddenly raised his shield while keeping it before his own head!

The knight on the other side had already leaned in and boosted his force with the power of his horse. The combined strength of rider and horse hit Shaar’s shield and propelled it into the air splitting it in half!

Being hit by the full power of a running horse, Shaar’s body shook violently. It was a bit too much for him to endure and his chest tightened, taking his breath away. His left arm that lifted the shield just a while ago was in severe pain and his whole body was shaking while his vision became somewhat blurry.

However, he still started his counterattack.

Moving sideways with all his strength, he twisted his body and barely avoided the charging horse. Feeling the horse’s body and the rider’s leg grazing past his back, he felt the friction. Screaming with all his might, Shaar suddenly used his whole body to ram the horse!

After a long neigh, the knight immediately felt his own horse staggering while crashing down!

With Shaar’s inhuman strength, he unexpectedly knocked down a speeding horse, however it took its toll on his body. His strength started to wane and he was out of breath. Nevertheless, right now he could not relax and turned around with a leap. Raising his axe in his hand, he prepare to strike!

The rider that fell to the ground desperately tried to climb up, but failed. Before he realized what that white light was, Shaar’s axe was already over his head!

The knight immediately rushed to lift his saber trying to block the incoming axe. With a loud clang, his saber managed to parry the axe, however with the tremendous difference in strength and with one knee on the floor, the knight could only roll on the ground while avoiding this tight spot.

Holding the upper hand, Shaar would not let him escape and followed up with two consecutive chops.

After two loud bangs, the saber finally broke in the knight’s hand and his palm was full of blood. Widening his eyes, he stared at Shaar in shock.

Just when Shaar was lifting his axe to finish this guy off, he heard hoof beats coming closer and when he turned round, he saw a group of black shadows rushing towards him!

The leader of the knights rushed at the front with his saber raised and his face was making a ferocious expression! The sharp blade was already in front of Shaar’s head!

Desperately blocking the saber with his axe, Shaar’s whole body felt like it was being electrocuted after a bang! In a flash, his opponent’s blade was cutting deep into his axe that was made of fine steel. The sharp blade shook violently and radiated a grey smoke!

The blade that was emitting the weird smoke was constantly cutting deeper into his axe’s blade!

Getting thrown away by that tremendous and fierce strength, Shaar’s body fell to the ground and his mouth tasted dust. His whole body was in severe pain and while trying to get up, he spat out several mouths full of blood and dust. Feeling that his hand suddenly became lighter, he took a look and saw that the waraxe made of superior steel in his hand was slashed in half!!

Restraining his horse, the knight leader made a proud expression only to notice that his own saber was missing a palm-sized pieces when he accidentally took a look! This discovery took the knight leader somewhat by surprised, since he knew his own strength very clearly. A moment ago, he used his ki and thought that his blade would split this fellow in half. However, not only did that not happen, he actually received a blow himself – he had also used the power of his horse!

“Your skill is good, magical beast hunter.” The knight leader hung his saber on the saddle and looked coldly at his companion on the ground: “Get up you failure! Do not embarrass us!”
