Chapter 949 - Furious Pursuit
Chapter 949 Furious Pursuit
Katherine finally knew how terrifying a rabbit’s retaliation could be when it was backed into a corner!
She had always maintained the absolute initiative in her battle against Greem.
As a mechanical adept, all of her combat techniques required next to no incantations or handsigns; all of her magical abilities were used to enhance her combat abilities and offensive options. As such, she was most capable of countering elementium adepts in melee combat, where their powerful elementium spells required more space to unleash.
Greem might be a deviant even amongst elementium adepts with melee combat abilities that were nearly on par with his fire spells, but he was still no more than a rookie when compared to Katherine.
Without the elementium magical machine’s assistance, Greem would have long since died to her compound, three-dimensional attacks. She would only need to suffer some heavy losses in return.
Of course, this had only been Katherine’s understanding of the situation!
Now that she had ambushed Greem and destroyed the wisp of holy light as she did so, she had incited Greem’s wrath.
Frantic alarms also went off in Hakans in the distance.
As the most prosperous and vital central city of the northern regions of Zambez, Hakans was stationed with plenty of holy knights.
A group of holy knights had just reached the closest city gate on warhorses when they ran into the fleeing Katherine.
After attempting to flee in every direction and still being unable to escape from the berserk fire adept, Katherine had no choice but to draw him toward the most heavily guarded stronghold– Hakans.
Perhaps the dense crowd and the legions of ferocious hoy knights would allow her to escape the fire adept’s mad pursuit.
The most powerful of the holy knights that had hurried to the gates was also a Second Grade Silver Knight.
He had just arrived at the city gate and stopped his horse. He had not even identified the disorder in the distance when Katherine set her sights upon him.
The Blade Princess had already made contact with these holy knights. She had a perfect grasp of their strengths and weaknesses.
With sufficient time to bless themselves with holy light, every holy knight would become an iron can protected by layers of halos. All sorts of magical resistances and physical resistances would be present, making it exceptionally difficult to kill them. However, if they were caught by surprise and without the protection of the holy light, their divine armor would be fragile.
As such, Katherine struck to kill without any hesitation the moment she discovered these holy knights.
Her silhouette flickered as she instantly crossed the ten-meter-long iron gates of the city, appearing in the middle of the ranks of holy knights. Five metal disc-blades shot out of nowhere, turning into a formation of death that completely engulfed the nearby knights.
Katherine herself charged at the Silver Knight, first immobilizing him with her spiritual pressure before passing through his body and shredding him and his warhorse into pieces of flesh.
This one moment of delay had allowed Greem to approach the city. He let out a furious warcry and pointed with his finger. A massive cloud of fire appeared above the heads of the holy knights and pressed down upon them.
Naturally, a long-ranged attack like that could not possibly hit Katherine. She simply accelerated and charged out of the cloud before heading straight into the city. The flames devoured the knights that had been scattered by the metal blades after a single cry.
A short moment later, only indistinguishable carbonized ash remained on the spot. Greem had already ravaged through the battlefield on the stone serpent, continuing his chase after Katherine.
The gate of Hakans might be tall, but it was still too small for this enhanced stone serpent.
The stone serpent’s giant body and tail swept against the city walls, causing dust to scatter everywhere and pieces of rock to collapse from the structure.
Seeing that the serpent was ill-suited for battle in the city, Greem unsummoned it and rushed into the city with the elementium magical machine.
A dozen wind spirits floated in the sky, acting as Greem’s ears and eyes while helping him track down the Blade Princess Katherine while cautiously watching for changes within the city.
If the lack of Third Grade natives he had encountered in the battles before this had been due to the enemy’s slow information system and rigid means of transmitting orders, then the chances of him running into one now would be much greater. After all, he had now broken into their city.
Greem might be confident in his power, but even he didn’t dare become surrounded by multiple Third Grade natives.
As such, Greem pursued Katherine tightly and charged into the massive city of Hakans, both nervous and expectant of the Third Grade natives.
