Chapter 212
Chapter 212 Fish Bait
Hyde’s tricks were utterly useless before a Second Grade knight.
Without even using his knight battle techniques, Meusel shattered the spinning blades with simple slashes before slashing horizontally at the awl flying towards his chest.
Oddly enough, the sharp awl shattered on contact. It instantly split into several dozen tiny spikes, shooting towards every part of Meusel’s body.
If it had been any other day, such a simple attack would not have even grazed Meusel.
Today was not Meusel’s day.
Meusel roared and charged through the barrage with his sword before him. He rushed at Hyde and slashed at his energy shield.
With just a single heavy slash, the energy shield shattered and blasted Hyde into the woods behind him.
…………
A kilometer away, Charles, who had just led everyone through the heavy siege and was currently resting in an area with few trees, suddenly stood up and gazed in the direction behind him.
He felt a powerful and ravaging energy signature exploding there!
Yet this signature was so familiar that it caused him put a name to it almost unconsciously.
“Meusel!”
With how powerful the Second Grade knights were, they would not usually use such a wasteful energy explosion. This type of energy blast might appear to cover a large area, but in truth it consumed tremendous power to generate and was highly inefficient. It was far inferior in terms of lethality when compared to the concentrated knight battle techniques!
Only the spellbreaker knights that had barely mastered the utilization of energy favored this sort of grand knight battle technique. The radiant knights, on the other hand, knew that a flame shockwave that covered an area of ten meters was far weaker than a simple yet concentrated slash.
Meusel was a veteran radiant knight. There was no way he didn’t understand this. Yet he still committed such an amateur mistake. This either meant that he was up against enemies that outnumbered him, or that he was no longer able to control the energies within his body!
Regardless of which it was, it was obvious that he was in a dire situation!
“You lead the army and continue forward. I’ll go and bring Meusel back!” Before his wild shout had even dissipated, Charles had already disappeared.
A strange pair of energy wings appeared behind Charles, giving him the ability to fly across short distances. Tall trees whistled past his body, the dense branches hitting his face and body as he flew by.
He had already directed most of his energy to the wings and no longer had any additional strength to protect himself. Thus, he kept his eyes opened with all his strength, clumsily adjusting his speeding body and trying his best to avoid the trees. He no longer had any strength to avoid the dense branches and vines, and could only endure them with his tough body.
A distance of a kilometer was quickly covered with the ability to fly.
A short moment later, the barren battlefield appeared in his vision.
Meusel crouched and shrunk his body on the half-collapsed hill, trying his best to defend against the spells flying at him like a thunderous storm from all around him.
Fire, lightning, blood arrows, wooden spikes, sharp awls…
Terrifying spells of all variety rained down on Meusel’s body. They were on the verge of riddling him with holes and turning him into a human strainer.
Charles, who was watching all this happen before him, roared violently. His energy wings folded slightly, and instantly he landed besides Meusel. He waved his large sword, and a terrifying force blasted outwards, annihilating all the attacks around him in a brilliant scarlet sword radiance.
“Meusel, hang on, I’ll… ”
Charles waved his longsword with one hand, shattering one spell after another that shot towards him, and grabbed Meusel with his other hand, trying to charge out of the battlefield.
However, before he could finish his sentence, something sudden occurred.
