Chapter 573 RetreaAbel’s eyes sparkled. He had learned this spear technique before. He just rarely used it since he always felt like he did not have a good grasp of it.The spear technique’s power did not originate from one’s self. Instead, it borrowed energy from some powerful being. Abel didn’t know if borrowing energy from an unknown power would cost him anything, so he rarely used it. This was a Royal Worgen spear technique. It seemed like the wolf rider captain was a royal.
While Abel was thinking, the wolf rider captain’s long spear collided with the giant combat qi whip. Just like a bat hitting a ball, the wolf rider captain was blasted away with blood gushing out of his mouth.
As the wolf rider captain was in the air, Abel also shot an arrow at him. It entered from the soft tissue below his forehead and penetrated his brain.
When his body landed on the ground, a grey beam of 10 meters shot up to the sky.
After this strike, the combat qi whip vanished, and the knights finally collided with the wolf riders.
A patch red glowed from the sky, and red rain began to pour down. Abel felt a sudden lift in his body, like a layer of protection had been stripped.
This was the effect of the deity’s ‘damage enhancement’ curse. It could double the damage of physical attacks, which worked very well with the speedy attacks of the skeletons and wolf riders. It was the scariest curse from beginner deities.
Just like a sharp blade, the front line head commanders plunged into the 100 wolf riders. The knights were all wrapped in white combat qi, making their arrow shape charging formation look like an actual arrow.
All the knights stuck out their long spear straight in their hands, ready for an attack.
At that time, the wolf riders also had death qi concentrated on their spears, and they viciously charged towards the knights.
In the moment of collision, another curse erupted from the sky. However, its range was very small– only enough to surround the head commander at the very front.
Abel knew it was a ‘weaken’ curse. It could decrease the power of the attacker by a third. The orc deities had grasped the perfect timeline to unleash this curse, so a third of the knight charging formation’s power had been absorbed.
The head commander at the very front smashed into 2 wolf rider captains, and all the knights at the back also smashed into the wolf riders. In a split second, 2 knights had lost their lives, and the entire front line wolf riders had been knocked out.
Even with only a third of power, the head commander still bumped the 2 wolf rider captains. They didn’t get hurt too bad, but the wolf riders behind were not as lucky.
The arrow charging formation began to show it’s power. A pathway opened among the team of wolf riders. Although a wolf rider captain had killed a knight during the collision, the mount wolf below him could not withstand the force of the charging formation.
A second knight in the charging formation charged towards that wolf rider captain. That wolf rider captain used strength beyond human power to block. The knight failed in his strike but kept charging forward.
Afterward, the third and fourth knight in the formation charged towards that wolf rider captain. They all unleashed a strike and kept charging forward.
At that moment, the wolf rider captain’s hands began to get numb. He had lost his agility. Although his opponents were all beginner knights, their power had increased a few times under the charging formation.
The 5th knight had arrived in front of him. He struck out his long spear to block again, but since his hand had gotten numb, the massive force of the knight blast his spear away. That knight tried to increase his contributions as he kept charging forward.
Without a weapon, the 6th knight had easily plunged a spear in the captain’s chest and torn his heart apart. His armor could not handle the force.
In this charging formation, a glow of death qi shot up to the sky. It was the 4th beam of death qi in this battlefield. The knights’ confidence grew tremendously while the wolf riders began to feel daunted.
Abel was ruthlessly shooting arrows, and every arrow would take a wolf rider’s life.
As the knight charging formation cut open the team of 100 wolf riders and approaching the deities, a deity threw out a potion, and the bottle shattered on the ground.
A smog of green smoke gushed out in front of the knights.
“Turn left!” Head Commander Bodley yelled.
The charging formation abruptly turned, but a few knights had been touched by the green smoke. Their war horses neighed and dropped to the ground, and the knights were helpless.
The wizards in the formation had been waiting for their chance to face the deities. They all had their spells prepared, and they all threw their spells out.
However, this sudden change in direction forced them to throw out their spells early. This round of spells was aimed specifically at the deities, so even though 2 wizards were disrupted by the turn, most spells still flying straight towards the deities.
The bone armor on 4 deities had been destroyed, and 3 of them were open right in front of Abel. 3 arrows shot out, and the 3 deities were dead in a moment.
“What godly archery skills!” K3305 yelled.
All the knights and wizards in the team also agreed.
With 3 more deities dead, the 5 remaining deities began to get anxious. 2 of them threw a few bottles of potions, and black smoke appeared in front of them.
Afterward, Abel heard something running away; the other teams of wolf riders also began to turn and rush back to the Orc Empire’s direction.
“Stop!” Head Commander Bodley yelled with an extremely satisfied tone.
As the wind blew, the green and black smoke were carried away. There was not a single wolf rider left at the scene–only a few ownerless Mount wolves howling.
“Ah,” they heard a scream of agony from the back, so Abel quickly turned around. It was the knight who had been consumed by the poison smoke. By that point, he could no longer contain the pain. He was screaming.
A knight quickly jumped down to have a look. He then turned back at head commander Bodley and gently shook his head.
A few knights in the ground also yelled, “Let me go with a thrill!”
“Let’s give them a thrilling goodbye!” Said head Commander Bodley in a low voice with a face full of sorrow.
That knight nodded and took out a little dagger from his waist. A long sword was for the enemies, and these little daggers were normally only used to end the suffering of their badly injured teammates.
“Wait!” Abel jumped down from his horseback deer and yelled.
“No one can defuse a deity’s poison other than themselves, not even other deities. Just let them end his suffering earlier!” k3305 gently said.
“I have a few poison antidotes on me. It’s worth a try!” Abel didn’t want to see a few knights die in vain just like this. It was glorious to die during the battlefield, but if you wanted someone to kill you because you were suffering from poison, that was suicide. It was the most embarrassing way to die in the Holy Continent, even all the wizards and knights, including head Commander Bodley, would say these knights were killed during the battle.
“Quick, give it a try!” Head Commander Bodley knew Abel was mysterious. Most of the orcs that had died in the fight were killed by Abel’s scary bow.
Abel stepped forward and looked at the knights. The green smoke has started to eat their skin. They were all in extreme agony. Even their airways were being consumed by the poisonous smoke.
Abel took out a few poison antidotes he made himself. They were not as powerful as the ones from the Dark World, but the poison from those deities was like nothing compared to the poison in hell anyway.
And handed those bottles of liquid with blue colored electric arcs swirling inside to the knight by his side, and that knight began to feed them to knights on the ground one by one. Soon, the knights had stopped screaming. Their bodies had stopped decaying, and the effects of the poison began to vanish. Although their injuries remained, they would heal with some rest.
