Chapter 243 - Grand Royal Knight

"Hah, I am not too late," not too late in his mouth was the fact that the battle was not over yet. He extended his hand toward one red-armored knight.

[Chain Lightning]

The lightning shot toward the target and forwarded to the next target. The lightning was not as powerful as [Thunder Wrath], but that helped to paralysis the knight.

He cast [Basic Detection] on two red-armored knights. Royal Knight was another branch of Knight Class. He was clueless about the differences between these knights, but from the level, these Royal Knights should be around the same as the Guardian Knight.

"Who are you!?" One Royal Knight noticed they were attacked from behind. He turned around and pointed his sword toward Tang Shaoyang. The latter, of course, did not bother to reply. With [Flash Step], he arrived in front of the red-armored knight.

Swoosh!

He swung his battle-ax toward the neck part, aiming for a one-shot kill. But the knight was experienced, the knight was caught off guard but he managed to react in time to cast the defensive skill. A blue barrier formed to protect his body before the battle-ax could reach the neck.

Bang!

The barrier shook as the red-armored knight flung backward from the impact. The body was flying meters away. The clash between him and the red-armored knight caught the other knights' attention. Instead of advancing to the abandoned village, they swarmed toward him in the formation of five.

Tang Shaoyang extended his left hand to a group of a knight, [Lightning Cage]. A cage made of lightning rose, trapping one group. Once again, his move surprised the knights. They stopped their advance suddenly.

Tang Shaoyang was fighting like a warrior but he had mage's skill. The knights were caught off guard and confused as to how to face him.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang was taking a peek at his mana. He had been casting his skill consecutively, he would be troubled if his mana was depleted in the middle of the fight since magus was mana-dependent class.

[Mana: 4904/32040]

'I still have enough mana to face them all,' he then scanned the surroundings, he could not find his subordinates, all of them were the Royal Knight.

Tang Shaoyang then rained down the [Thunder Wrath] at the group trapped in Lightning Cage. Three times of [Thunder Wrath] was enough to take them down, but that did not kill them. He could see them wriggling in pain on the ground.

"What about the skill I haven't tried then," he muttered in a low voice as he cast [Thunder Storm].

The dark cloud immediately gathered above him. The sudden change phenomenon caused the knights to stop their advance and looked up to the sky. A skill that could cause a natural phenomenon was without a doubt a high-tier spell.

Even though the Royal Knight did not know what the skill would do, they immediately activated their defensive skill. Each of the Royal Knight was covered in a blue barrier before the skill could be cast.

Tang Shaoyang himself did not know how strong the skill was since this was the first time he cast the skill.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The thunder roared from beyond the dark cloud. He could see the yellow thunder flashed from the dark cloud, then…

Boom!

The first thunder descended, it struck the three Royal Knights at once. What shocked him was the fact that the barrier immediately disintegrated and the knights fell lifelessly. It was similar to [Thunder Wrath] but a much stronger version.

That was just the start before the nightmare of the Royal Knight. More thunder descended, for the first time in his life, Tang Shaoyang experienced a rain of thunder.

Of course, none of the thunder struck him, but it rained down his surroundings. It was a full minute rain of thunder before it stopped and the dark cloud disappeared.

By this time, the surroundings were devastated by the thunder. All the Royal Knights were lying down on the ground, heavily injured. Yes, it was surprising none of them die.

"The skill is too overpowered, and I have to be careful to use the skill next time," he could not control the skill, and it could harm his people if he was not careful.

Ignoring the lying Royal Knight, Tang Shaoyang rushed into the abandoned village. As soon as he entered the village, a deep frown formed on his forehead. He could see a few women from the Ropina Village, lifeless with a few stabs into their chest.

He found four corpses to the sides. Uneasiness started to fill his heart as he picked his pace. Soon, he found a familiar body, still breathing weakly. Leaning his back against the wall of a house, blood wet his armor, and he had his eyes closed.

Next to the young boy were three lifeless Royal Knights. He rushed toward the young man, checking his wounds, six stabs on his body. Two around the chest, three on the belly, and the last one on his shoulder.

"Hold on, Boy! I will bring the Cleric to you," he whispered to the boy's ear. He did not have a healing potion in him, but he remembered Liang Suyin had them.

Of course, Gu Yingjie did not reply to his words. However, the young man responded by moving his right arm. He was pointing in a direction, deeper to the village.

"I will come back soon, hold on!" After whispering to Gu Yingjie, he rushed deeper into the village in the direction his subordinate pointed at.

As he was rushing deeper, he found more dead bodies. They were Ropina Village's villagers mostly with a few Royal Knight's corpses.

[Lightning Flash]

Anxious, he activated his skill, and he soon found the Royal Knights were circling the villagers and Chief Rick in the square of the village. The villagers and Chief Rick had their weapons, but they were at their limit.

Tang Shaoyang canceled his spirit integration with Zowen and cast another [Advance Spirit Integration] with Karan. He leaped in between the two groups and cast [War Cry].

Roar!

[War Cry activated, boosting your attributes by 50% for ten minutes]

A lion-like roar escaped from his mouth, stunning the surrounding Royal Knights. His eyes moved around, trying to identify the leader of these knights. He soon found out the leader of the Royal Knight with his [Basic Detection].

Tang Shaoyang threw [Wild Axes] toward the Grand Royal Knight. The spinning axes accelerated in the air toward the Grand Royal Knight. He thought the axes would hit the knight, but he was underestimating the knight.

The Grand Royal Knight managed to break free from his [War Cry] faster than the other knight. A barrier formed around his body, protecting the knight from the axes.

Bang!

The axes disintegrated as the barrier cracked. The Grand Royal Knight was also pushed three steps back from the impact. A surprise plastered on the knight's face.

[Raged Alteration]

[You have entered a raging state, boosting your Strength by 10% for one minute!]

The distance between him and the Grand Royal Knight was merely seven meters. With a quick dash, Tang Shaoyang arrived in front of the knight, he swung the battle-ax toward the Grand Royal Knight.

[Royal Bulwark]

The knight responded with a defensive skill. A golden bulwark formed and blocked the battle-ax.

Bang!

The battle-ax hit the golden bulwark. To Tang Shaoyang's surprise, the Grand Royal Knight perfectly blocked his attack. The knight managed to hold his ground despite his monstrous strength.

[Royal Judgment]
