Chapter 412 - A Chase of Death
From Abel’s tests, Wizard Cliff didn’t even want to attack Flying Flame. He thought Johnson was thought an easier enemy so he decided to focus on bringing it down first.
When the “blizzard” spell was cast, a bunch of clouds started mixing in the sky. Large snowflakes started falling down, and most of them landed on Johnson’s body. To respond to this, the #10 Thul rune metal spheres on Johnson’s body started coming out to the surface. It was perfect against ice element attack. The blizzard did practically no damage at all.
Still, what Wizard Cliff did provoke Johnson. It started sheathing the king-sized ballista. Then, as it changed to the super-size knight’s big sword, it started spinning on the ground. It was like a tornado made of metal. The more it spun, the more dirt and rocks were kicked out of the ground. Wizard Cliff could easily dodge this, but the more sediment started to flying towards him, the more he had to waste his mana on “instantaneous movement.”
Once Johnson was satisfied with how much energy Wizard Cliff had to waste, it finally stopped spinning and listened to its master’s orders.
Suddenly, a bolt of dark lightning flew to another spot. When Wizard Cliff watched to see what was going on, he could see that Flying Flame and Johnson were blocking either side of his front.
There was also a dark shadow. It was a fully-armored knight. The armor was black, and so was the mount that it was sitting on. If Wizard Cliff didn’t get it wrong, the mount was supposed to be a spirit wolf. The sight bewildered him. Even the druids couldn’t ride on spirit wolve’s backs.
This time, Wizard Cliff chose to take the initiative. By waving with his hand, a “firewall” surrounded the spiritual guardian knight captain. He wasn’t fast enough, though. It was already disappearing from where it was standing. The next thing he knew, it was using its knight’s long lance to stab at him.
Wizard Cliff activated the rune pattern for the “new star of frost.” By creating a circular blue ripple out of his body, an ice shield came out to block the lance from entering his body. It would’ve frozen the spiritual guardian knight captain, but the 75% freezing resistance allowed it to withstand the counter-freezing attack that could’ve potentially immobilized it.
To prevent a second hit from the spiritual guardian knight captain, Wizard Cliff used his “instantaneous movement’ to move to another spot. It followed him with the same speed. Whenever Wizard Cliff went somewhere, it would always catch up to him and continue the attacks. The attacks never stopped, actually. Wizard Cliff didn’t have a chance to think.
He was still a very smart man. After realizing that the ice element attack wasn’t doing anything, he switched to his “fireball” spell and shot at the spiritual guardian knight captain. To counter this, it switched to its fire enhancement mode. The 75% fire resistance buff allowed the fireball to be neutralized with its shield.
Wizard Cliff was scared by this. He never thought that knights were strong enough to guard against spell attacks like that. He wasn’t done yet, however. After grinding his teeth, he shot a “lightning spell” at the spiritual guardian knight captain. Because of how fast it was, it was hit straight on without any time to react.
For reasons that Abel wasn’t sure of, Wizard Cliff managed to deal the maximum amount of damage from his lightning spell. (the damage that could be dealt by lightning spells was often randomized) Because of this, the spiritual guardian knight captain went down right away. It had no defense against lightning attacks, so there was nothing that it could do to protect itself against the lightning.
Just when Wizard Cliff was about to let out a sigh, a purple light came over the spiritual guardian knight captain that went down. Soon, it started getting up like nothing had happened. Wizard Cliff didn’t know, but Abel just fed it a “full recovery potion” via the soul chain. Obviously, that lightning wasn’t enough to take out the spiritual guardian knight captain completely, but he just felt like rubbing it in a bit more.
“Okay, good, good,” Abel said through the soul chain, “We’re done here. Give him all you got now.”
Soon, Wizard Cliff was forced to face the full assault of Abel’s summoned creature squad. White flame started forming inside Flying Flame’s mouth. Johnson started lifting its super-sized knight’s big sword in the air. The spiritual guardian knight captain readied its lance. They all ran to Wizard Cliff simultaneously. It was pretty obvious now. There had to be someone that’s instructing all these creatures. Apart from Abel, there wasn’t anyone else that Wizard Cliff could think of. In fact, he was no longer certain that a revenge attack was possible.
To guard against the three summoned creatures, Wizard Cliff threw magic scrolls at him. The “fireball” one was for Flying Flame, which wasn’t even enough to leave a scratch on its body. Johnson pretty much just walked over the one that had the “fire wall” spell in it. The spiritual guardian knight captain didn’t even bother doing anything. As long as the attack was not lightning, it could pretty much just walk straight towards Wizard Cliff. Wizard Cliff didn’t even bother checking if the scrolls had worked. He wasn’t planning on dealing any damage. He just wanted some time for him to escape. He just wanted some time to think of anything else. So far, there was only one direction for him to run to. It was the direction that Abel had purposefully left without any barriers. All the other ones were barricaded by the summoned creatures.
