BXBX NOVEL Chapter 836 Captured
Yet, he still needs to consume a lot of mana to prevent being roasted alive. While Gofrey struggles for his life, Otebon gives a silent signal to the nearby Extermination Squad. Then, he takes out a dark liquid bottle and pours it into his body.
A moment later, a strong flame armor covers his body before Otebon charges forward like a bullet. *BANG* Fortunately, Gofrey always pays attention to Otebon and deflects his charge spear attack in time.
Gofrey swung his sword spear over his body in a circular pattern. It creates a powerful wind barrier, simultaneously deflecting the incoming fire spear and Otebon attack. [Spear Art - Gale Vortex].
*CLANG* When Otebon\'s spear clashes with Gofrey\'s sword spear, he decisively abandons it and lets it stagger in the air before kicking Gofrey to stop his spear art. *BAM*
Not giving Gofrey a breath, Otebon grabbed his spear in the air again before swinging harshly at Gofrey. *BANG* Such a forceful attack breaks Gofrey\'s stance and rhythm. It allows the others to launch a Fire Spear at him.
Usually, a reckless attack like this is full of holes and could easily be countered. The opponent could even counterattack and kill the user if one weren\'t careful. However, Otebon is not alone. Dozens of elite knights under him are ready to launch the Fire Spear anytime.
Moreover, Otebon seems to have an excellent tacit understanding with his team. He could easily let the others throw their Fire Spear without hitting him. Such a battle style is only gained from years of battle experience.
As someone who also experienced team battles, Gofrey also noticed such a situation. He didn\'t expect Otebon to use such a ruthless tactic to bring him down. However, this is also an opportunity. As long as he could bring down Otebon, he could also create an opening to escape.
"Don\'t underestimate me, Otebon!! Illuminate… Vorsfang!!" said Gofrey.
The sword spear again shines brightly and covers Gofrey with mysterious white energy. For a moment, Gofrey seems invincible, and Otebon\'s forceful attack does not affect him. Using this opportunity, he charged forward and stabbed Otebon ruthlessly.
Unbeknown to Gofrey, he fell into Otebon\'s trap. *CLANG* Unexpectedly, Otebon\'s flame armor stopped the sword spear. A faint dark gas could be seen between the sword spear and flame armor.
"This… Impossible!!" said Gofrey.
"NOW!!" shouted Otebon.
Hearing Otebon\'s signal, the surrounding knights immediately take black balls before throwing them in Gofrey\'s direction. *Bom* *Bom* *Bom* The black balls exploded, creating a large black smoke.
"This is… Dark Matter?!!" Exclaimed Gofrey weakly.
Dark Matter is a unique substance that is made of Divine Energy. It has many names, such as Dark Matter, Curse Matter, Black Divine, etc.
Since divine energy is purer and more potent than mana, it can only be fought using other divine energy. Dark Matter is one of the unique substances that could counter Divine Energy.
As a division that often handles religious groups, the Extermination Squad also has access to the Dark Matter. Still, it is not easy to get Dark Matter since its main ingredient is the Divine Energy itself.
Even if they manage to get Dark Matter, it usually still has some influence from the original Divine Energy. If it belongs to a good God, it may not matter. But, if it belongs to an Evil God like Plargos, the Dark Matter may also corrupt or poison everyone, be it in their mind or body.
Moreover, no religious group will give their God\'s Divine Energy to others just for them to create something to counterattack them. It is a scarce material that is hard to find in the biggest black market.
However, the Heart Kingdom has abundant Divine Energy from the Plargos epidemic not long ago. Moreover, Angus is also involved in this project to extract and create Dark Matter. Hence, this Dark Matter is very pure without any side effects.
Ever since Angus got attacked by the Bliasm religious group and felt hopeless under the presence of God, he started to prepare how to fight these Gods and their divine energy. One of these products is the Dark Matter Bomb that the Extermination Squad uses now.
With the Dark Matter covering the area, the divine white energy seems to find its nemesis and rapidly depletes. Previously, Gofrey was like a beacon covered in white energy. Now, he looks like a dim lamp that will go off anytime.
*Stab* Not wasting this opportunity, Otebon stabs Gofrey\'s arm and directly turns it useless. *ARRGHHH* With Otebon\'s stab as his cue, the others\' fire also hit Gofrey\'s other limb. Otebon knows a full-fledged sixth-grade is very hard to kill.
Even if they target his vital part, there is a chance he could still survive. Therefore, the Extermination Squad rarely targets vital parts but prefers to hit the opponent\'s limb. This will drastically lower the opponent\'s movement and ability to fight back.
The only thing they need to watch is if Gofrey is trying to suicide by exploding himself. A self-destruct from a sixth-grade combatant is very destructive, especially if it is combined with a particular self-destruct skill.
However, this move is akin to suicide, which is avoided by most people. Still, based on Otebon\'s experience, fanatic people like the religious ones often prefer to use this self-destructive move rather than get caught.
As Otebon and the others slowly apprehend Gofrey, a silver-white eagle looks in their direction from the nearby tall tree before flying away in a particular direction. In this direction, a group of people gather around.
"Haa…. No Matter how I feel it, I will never get tired of this warm sensation." said a black-haired young man.
"Axel, hurry up!! Or we are going to leave you." called a blue-haired woman.
"Gezz… Can\'t you calm down for a moment? Besides, we are already inside the kingdom." replied Axel while playing with the small blinking lights surrounding him.
*Whooshh* A moment later, a chilly gust came from the blue-haired woman as she sent a deathly phoenix glare at Axel.
"Mia, calm down!! You will disturb the surroundings," said the nearby black-haired girl.
"Tch… Millie, you are too kind. If it were not for this greedy goblin, we should have already reached the capital by now. Ian, you too, say something about him." grumbled Mia.
A brown-haired man riding a big white tiger glanced at Mia before frowning in the other direction. Then, a silver-white bird flew from a distance before roosting at his hand. Ignoring his friend\'s banter, Ian communicates with the silver-white bird.
This group of people is none other than Angus and Jayna\'s classmates. A few years ago, they were sent by Angus to search for Frozen Heart at the Snow Peak in the Reese Mountain Range.
After a few years of traveling together and encountering many deadly situations, they all become a full-fledged adventure that could complete many high level quests.
Noticing their companion\'s behavior, "Is there something wrong?" asked Axel warily.
"There is a huge battle a few kilometers away in that direction. It seems we need to choose another path." replied Ian.
"A battle?! In this place?" asked Mia.
"Filkas said it is a group wearing full armor with burning spear emblems against an injured sixth-grade person." said Ian.
"Burning spear?! It should be the Extermination Squad. Guess.. We could only choose another path." commented Axel from the side.
"Haa… If only Angus or the Fourth Princess were here, we could ask to use the teleportation network." added Axel.
"Don\'t bother. Didn\'t you hear about the recent news about him? He got a huge bounty on his head. It would have been better if he hadn\'t left his house. Though, I doubt a mere assassin could handle him." said Ian.
"*Sigh* Alright, let\'s get going." said Mia.
As they continue their journey using a carriage, the battle on the Otebon side ends. Living up to its name, the Extermination Squad specializes in arresting people. No Matter what ploy Gofrey used, they could easily counter them.
With the help of Hell Prison Formation and Dark Matter, Gofrey\'s mana soon bottomed out. Combined with his injured limbs, he could only passively receive a beating without even being able to self-destruct.
After ensuring the knockout Gofrey is bound by a special shackle, Otebon and his team immediately leave the area while some knights take care of the aftermath. The battle may not last long but still affect the surrounding nature.
Many rice fields and other crops were destroyed during the battle. This will cost a significant amount of gold to repair. Still, none of the nearby farmers protested them since they had already received huge compensation after the fight.
A few hours later, Otebon\'s group noticed an unknown carriage not far from them following the stony path. Unbeknown to Otebon, they choose a path that crosses with Ian\'s group. Sensing a strong trace of mana inside the carriage, most of the knights immediately raise their vigilance.
"Halt?!!" stopped the extermination knight.
