Chapter 641 The Battle of Spirit Guardian Knights

If there were visible skeletons on those 8 knights and if they weren’t on a mount, those 4 orc priests would definitely think they were skeletons.Those 8 knights looked nothing like skeletons, but they might at least be dead creatures of soul. They had such a dense amount of death qi as well as that flame of soul, which was hidden but could be seen by priests very clearly. All of this had made the priests extremely confused.

A human wizard had 8 dead creatures of soul, and the human didn’t seem to be affected by death qi. Did the human find a way to counteract death qi and summon dead creatures of souls?

This scary idea emerged in the minds of those orc priests. But still, the most important thing at that moment was to fight, fight against those 8 knights.

“Kill them!” Abel lowered his voice.

As Abel’s words landed, a battle set off in the deep dark night.

The first move was made by a quick-handed priest, and a ‘damage increase’ curse emerged above the spirit guardian knight. However, before the cursed raindrops even got the chance to emerge, the spirit guardian knights had already disappeared.

The glowing red cursed raindrops fell down on empty grounds.

4 spirit guardian knights appeared next to the 4 orc priests and 4 other spirit guardian knights appeared next to the 2 bearmans between the head wolf rider captains and the orc priests.

This was the habit developed by those spirit guardian knights in the Dark World–attacking the spell caster first in a battle.

Most of those intermediate orc priests’ skeletons were beyond their range. Most of the time, they would only keep one or 2 skeletons next to them.

The spirit guardian knights’ first round of attack was blocked by the skeletons. It was the first time 2 altered skeletons had fought against each other, but those spirit guardian knights were equipped with extremely powerful gear, so they dominated the other skeletons–especially the spirit guardian knight captain. A ‘damage increase’ was immediately triggered after it unleashed its first strike with the Iron sword. In a flash, all 4 priests were cursed.

“Who are you; how do you have this ability!?” An intermediate priest yelled.

Another intermediate priest drew out another spell pattern. But those 8 spirit guardian knights had already disappeared the moment a red glow emerged from the sky. The cursed raindrops missed again. Afterward, the spirit guardian knights re-emerged from their original position and continued their attacks.

After failing to cast their curse a few times, the priests realized those 8 knights had the same ‘move in a flash’ ability of human wizards. Putting a curse on them would not be easy.

The intermediate priests changed their tactics and began to throw out ‘bone spears’ towards those spirit guardian knights. However, those attacks could all be easily blocked with their shields.

The spirit guardian knight captain was the first one to make a result. It wrecked a skeleton into pieces in 3 strikes. Now, it was directly facing an intermediate priest.

The spirit guardian knight captain lifted up its iron sword above the priest and viciously struck down. At that moment, a spell pattern flashed on that priest’s hand. He wanted to summon a ‘bone wall’ for protection.

But it was too late, the iron sword of the spirit guardian knight captain had a 50% chance of causing a wound with each strike even if its strike had landed on the bone armor of the priest.

An unbearable sharp pain spread throughout that priest from the wound. It hurt so bad, it let out a scream, causing his bone wall spell pattern to fail.

The spirit guardian knight captain would not stop because of screaming. The second and third strikes quickly followed.

Although the physical damage had been counteracted by the bone armor. The 50% chance of wound had turned the priest into a blood swamp.

The actual damage made by these strikes was actually not that huge. It would be much more effective if the defense were broken. But, a priest was not a hell creature. A wound would not affect a hell creature’s performance.

Although intermediate priests basically looked like a lifeless ghost after being corroded by death qi for so long, they were still orcs–alive. They would basically become helplessly if they were relentlessly torn apart like this.

After hearing the scream of their teammate, the other 3 priests were also distracted.

The Bone armor broke open, and the second layer of armor created by the ‘mud monster’ was also destroyed by 3 more strikes. The spirit guardian knight plunged its long sword into the priest’s hopeless gaze.

All of a sudden a few skeletons on the battlefield lost control and dropped into a pile of scattered bones on the ground.

It was like the first domino had been pushed over on the battlefield after the first priest had died. The spirit guardian knight captain continued to unleash its attack on another priest. The battle was not looking good to them.

At that moment, the 4 head wolf rider captains had given up attacking those spirit guardian knights with perfect knight skills. Those things were clearly far superior when it came to both defense and offense.

If those priests did not have skeletons by their side, they might have all been dead already. 7 skeletons were gone after the first priest had died. They didn’t even know how to help themselves all of a sudden, let alone help the 3 priests behind them.

“Change target, kill that wizard!” The leading head wolf rider captain yelled.

The result was clear, it was useless trying to save those priests. Therefore, it was better to focus on taking down that wizard watching from the side while they still had the skeletons to keep the spirit guardian knights occupied.

4 head wolf rider captains took a turn on their mount wolves and dashed towards Abel. The 2 bearmans held up their shields and blocked those spirit guardian knights, giving them a little bit more time.

A funny smile emerged under Abel’s mask as he watched those wolf riders dashing towards him. He had been a head commander for quite a while by that point, but he had never used his head commander skills to fight against anyone of the same rank.

These 4 head wolf rider captains would be quite a treat. A golden combat qi armor immediately popped out from Abel’s body as he took out his ‘Iron’ sword and Ancient Pledge shield.

The 4 head wolf rider captains arrived in front of Abel, but they could never expect in a thousand years that a wizard could turn into a head commander at an instant. How was this even possible!

But by that point, they no longer had the time to care. The power those spirit guardian knights had shown made them understand that they did not have much time left.

Attacking from the ground needed skill; you couldn’t just dash forward and strike–just like those head wolf rider captains. They had worked with each other countless times, so their group attacks were extremely skilled.

2 head wolf rider captains stepped up front and unleashed the first strike with their spears. The other 2 head wolf rider captains followed behind. As soon as the first attack exposed Abel’s weak point, they would be able to unleash a life taking blow.

This was a great idea, but their enemy was Abel. Abel was not stupid enough to use his brute strength against those wolf riders.

By that time, his power of the will was already fixed on those 4 head wolf rider captains, and their movement dramatically slowed down.

When the 2 long spears struck forward, all Abel did was a little twist. He did not use his shield. Afterward, golden lighting combat qi filled his iron sword and plunged into a wolf rider.

The grey combat qi on those head wolf rider captains was extremely scary. It was filled with death qi. The only thing was that that death qi only held a tiny amount of energy, only allowed them to do close body combat and form a combat qi armor.

Normally their grey combat qi would be slightly dominant against the attributed combat qi of a human knight during a battle.

This was because the attacking power of death qi infused combat qi was too strong. It could hold down all attributed combat qi.

If there was one kind of combat qi that could break this tradition, it would be Abel’s lightning combat qi.

Also, there were different qualities of combat qi. Golden combat qi was basically the pinnacle of combat qi. As soon as it made contact with the grey combat qi armor of those wolf rider, a hole blast open.
