Chapter 982: Thousand Years Old Dragon
Abel kept his mouth shut. The spells of a thousand-year-old dragon appeared in his mind naturally without the skill tree.
They were instinctual to him. There was no need for spells or spell patterns. He could just cast it any time he wanted.
“Ice armor!” He mumbled, and a thick layer of ice armor appeared on him. It looked thick and sturdy on the surface, but it was as flexible as his body.
“Ice cloud spell!” He thought to himself, and a thin layer of ice cloud appeared beside him.
Of course, he would be in big trouble if it was an actual thin layer of ice. This ice cloud worked very similarly to the knights’ Holy Freeze, but anyone would be affected as long as they entered a range.
His power of will dictated the range, and every enemy within it would be slowed down. They might even get frozen on the spot.
“Sharp claw!” Finally. He added a golden layer to his claw. His claw was already extremely sharp and indestructible. With this spell, it could cut through armor and break spells.
It only took him a second to cast all these spells, and he immediately speeded towards the knights on the ground.
“Go back!” Mad knight Dan no longer wanted to attack. It might be worth a try if they were only fighting a dragon, but those lightning law-defying wizards, that Beamon, and that ice law defying wizard were still around. All of them together was not something they could kill.
The knights charged in chaos. Even with their defense and recovery, they didn’t have much of an advantage against a thousand-year-old dragon.
Nothing was more bold-handed than a dragon. They were the reason why the continents never got attacked by those powerful spiritual beasts in the ocean.
If dragons were more battle thirsty, the Evil Kingdom would have been attacked by them long ago.
Mad knight Dan knew the power of Dragons from rumors and documents. They followed closely behind the gods, above the existence of all beings.
Mad knight Dan was still 5 miles from the castle. It would be a challenge to get back, but the protection circle and the knight attack amplifier were their only option.
After long years of battle, the knights and wizards knew each other very well, but Abel’s appearance caught their strategies by surprise.
Take that Beamon with his ancient rod, for example. Its rebound effect was a nightmare to close fighters such as knights.
It could block the attack of 8 mad knights and break their formation.
As long as the knights stayed in their formation, taking them down would be much harder.
At that moment, Doff moved again. It flashed above the 7 mad knights with its rod.
Frankenstein also moved. He appeared behind doff in front of the knights. With a blizzard storm pattern on his hand, grey clouds swirled above them.
Mad knight Dan knew they would be fighting against a thousand-year-old dragon if they stopped. According to mad knight Mead who attacked the elves, this dragon’s close body fighting skills were almost invincible.
Therefore, he would not test it until the last moment.
He stepped on the left, and his body lifted off the ground. A white light flashed from the shield on his left, and the 6 other knights followed. Just like that, their entire formation leaped up.
A shield strike could send their target unconscious, and they were about to make contact with Doff’s rod.
As they collided, mad knight Dan suddenly shifted his shield at a slight angle and defused most of the impact. Afterward, a magic pattern flew forward into Doff’s chest.
Doff was immediately knocked out. Its body heavily landed on the ground like a brick.
However, Mad knight Dan no longer had time to finish Doff. What he did relied on the Doff’s momentum, and his charging formulation was soon carried to a side in mid-air.
This also perfectly avoided the Blizzard Storm. It was a spectacular move.
Of course, it was also because of Doff’s lack of official training as a Beamon. Even though it would sometimes use tree trunks to attack before it got its rod, it mostly just fought with his bare hands.
Mad knight Dan knew this, and he took advantage of it.
Abel couldn’t help but think about Johnson as he watched from the sky. Johnson’s fighting ability grew tremendously ever since he taught it the 11th rider spear technique, but he didn’t know any rod fighting techniques. He needed to search for some and teach Doff.
He was not worried about the knights’ escape, and those 5 Lightning wizards also started their attack on their 5-star magic circle.
Although they could directly stop the knights, their chain of lightning with its numbing effect could still slow the knights down in their formation if the knights gave up their attacks.
The numb could be distributed in a formation, and speed would be the most affected factor, especially since the chain of lightning’s power could accumulate.
But suddenly, Mad knight Dan took out a scroll and ignited it. It was a move in a flash scroll, and their formation was immediately flashed forward for 100 meters.
It was not that he didn’t want to go further, but he only had one scroll, and he had a team of 6 mad knights behind him. 100 meters was its limit.
“Bastards!” Wizard Davy roared in fury. There was no need to explain. The only way those knights could get their hands on a move in the flash scroll was from a dead wizard.
It disgusted him just thinking about those knights using the work of his men to escape his attacks.
Move in a flash scroll were lifesavers, and normally they would be used up before a wizard was killed.
Wizard Davy flashed as well in his 5-star magic circle. They could only do hit and run with the knights. If they got too close, they would still be affected by the Holy Freeze aura.
Doff regained itself after a few seconds, but the knights and wizards were already a few kilometers away.
Abel did not attack as he flew, looking at the rate those knights were flashing. 4 scrolls were used up almost instantly.
No matter how fast he flew, it was no match to a move in a flash. Of course, he might be able to catch up if he exposed his wizard identity, but it was no longer needed. Frankenstein appeared beside his giant dragon body with a move in a flash spell pattern, and immediately he was teleported forward.
As Mad night Dan was igniting another scroll, he suddenly sensed the energy around him tense up. It was like he had fallen into a pool of glue.
He looked above, and there was a giant dragon with Frankenstein by its side.
“Slay the dragon!” He roared. He was not afraid. After all, he was a mad knight.
His blood was burning as though a dragon was nothing to fear.
He quickly changed his formation, and the 7 of them struck forward with their sword.
Abel ignited his world stone ability, and everything began to slow down. From the sword of those knights, he saw an opening.
He gently twisted his dragon body and perfectly dodged the swords.
As mad knight, Dan’s sword struck empty. The just ignited burning thirst for battle within him has washed away like the tides.
He never saw anything like it, a being escaping the sword of 7 mad knights at this range, especially since his target was this enormous.
It would be nowhere as much of a shock if the dragon just counteracted their attacks with its defense, but dodging their swords was enough to make him question reality.
Abel couldn’t care less about what he thought. His sharp claw quickly slashed open the defense of a mad knight, and the Holy Shield immediately faded into sparkles.
The knight’s armor was like a thin piece of paper against his golden claw, and it plunged into his skin and bones, cutting through his organs.
“My lord, rake back my soul!” A look of insanity flashed in that mad knight’s eyes as he let out his last roar and ignited the last bit of holy energy within him.
His holy energy was like fire in oil, and it began to fuse with the element around.
“Self-destruct!” Abel immediately knew what the knight was about to do.
He quickly retracted his claw and fixed his power of the will on that self-destructing knight.
Through his calculations, a mad knight self-destructing at this range would be a threat to him even with his powerful dragon defense.
Although self-destruct was an extremely fast process, it was not much for Abel with his World stone ability.
He quickly found the knight’s core and gently pressed his claw onto it. Just like a deflated balloon, holy energy began to sift out, and the self-destruct failed.
Meanwhile, mad knight Dan kept flashing with the scrolls.
As Abel was occupied with the self-destructing mad knight, they were already thousands of meters away.
Abel was about to chase after them with Frankenstein, but he was quickly stopped by something.
After the knight stopped breathing, its pure white soul beam did not fly towards the sky or the evil kingdom. Instead, it flew towards his dragon body and entered the crystal angel statue between his eyes.
He didn’t know what was happening, but he didn’t feel any danger, so he paused on the spot.
Wizard Davy and the wizards were busy chasing after the 6 mad knights. The battle was tense, so no one was aware of the soul beam behind them.
Especially Mad knight Dan on the lead. They had run out of scrolls, so they could only use potions to hold down their injuries.
They did not have time to wonder why the dragon didn’t chase after them, but they were glad it didn’t.
