Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Bloody Battle
 

Windy Tiffany released her bowstring, and a spiral arrow of air shot straight towards Lucius.

The arrow stirred up the air, continuing to gather wind attribute during its flight and further enhancing its piercing power.

Just as it was about to hit Lucius.

Crack crack~~

A wall of bones formed in front of Lucius.

The impact site formed a strong vortex of air; the bone wall was completely destroyed, but it did not harm Lucius behind the wall.

The horn of battle had fully resounded with the launch of this arrow.

“Resurrect… my army!”

Wearing bone armor, holding a bone shield and a shadow short wand, Lenze appeared as though wielding an order flag, waving his short wand entwined with death attribute.

A domain that was grim and cold spread out from the feet of Lenze.

Over twenty undead swiftly formed under such domain.

Among them, sixteen were skeleton soldiers wielding serrated bone swords or heavy axes, and four were a kind of floating skeleton mages, draped in a transparent coat and holding a bone staff, capable of releasing highly corrosive shadow arrows.

One man is an army; this is the strength of a necromancer.

When Han Dong witnessed such a scene of undead resurrection, he couldn’t help but be astonished… In the past, Lenze in Stuart Manor could summon at most three or four skeletons.

Now with a wave of his hand, he could summon a small army, and the aura was completely different.

“This is the energy support given by the ‘Tree’?

The energy provided during combat is entirely incomparable to what a seed can offer… The gap between a Formal Knight and an Apprentice Knight is massive.

A true necromancer must have an extremely large energy supply.

Moreover… Lenze seems to possess a certain uniqueness that other necromancers lack; it was due to this that he was picked by Death God – Alex during the Knight Draft.”

Through the Little Demon Eye, Han Dong could see a detail.

The bodies of these undead soldiers were all connected to Lenze by an invisible undead thread.

If a skeleton were to be destroyed in battle, it would be quickly reassembled and regenerated through energy transmission… As long as Lenze does not die, the undead army will endure endlessly.

“Little skeletons are simply of the ordinary evil level… Bill, you seem to loathe necromancers, so we’ll let you deal with this guy.”

“No problem…”

“Tiffany, you’ll team up with me to fight this Blood Knight… A guy who was the second choice deserves our two-on-one attack.

I will strive to give you the best opportunity to attack. Given your destructive power, as long as you hit a few more times, this Blood Knight won’t be able to hold on.

Once his actions slow down, I will use a strong maneuver to crush him.”

The slender and tall archer with a goat-beard, Tiffany, nodded slightly in agreement with the 2-on-1 strategy while asking, “Barrett, there’s still one more person on their side… How will we deal with him?”

“He’s just a coward who doesn’t dare reveal his name. By his attire, he seems to be a Mystery Scholar. But among the last graduating knights, only one got picked in the top ten from the Mysterious Department.

She’s a masked female assassin.

This person isn’t worth worrying about… and, judging by his vibe, he seems rather weak and doesn’t even seem like a knight.

While we attack Lucius, if you have the chance, shoot a couple of arrows at this guy… killing him directly would be best.”

“Okay!”

Barrett gave a powerful Shield Bash, knocking the obstructing skeleton in front of him flying.

He picked up his Black Crystal Sword with his right hand and faced Lucius directly.

Both were from The Crusaders, and Barrett, who specialized in sword techniques and defense, believed he could handle this junior of his.

what Barrett needed to do was to engage in a prolonged showdown, providing the archer with enough offensive space.

However…

Ding!

The Dark Gold blood sword filled with bloody threads held in Lucius’s hand was rustling with blood.

A layer of ‘blood garment’ was draped over the sword.

When Barrett’s Black Crystal Sword clashed with this blood sword.

Although the strengths were comparable, Lucius’s attack pattern was strange.

Each time the blade struck.

The ‘blood cloak’ that covered the Blood Sword would attempt to morph into different shapes.

Sometimes it would form into a beast’s gaping maw,

or an array of elongated spikes,

or a series of blood vessels with an absorbing feature,

attempting to bypass Barrett’s defense and directly hurt his physical body.

Even though Barrett’s self-cultivated defense art could dismantle the blood cloak’s attack through strengthening his Chi with Blood Brew, it barely restrained it.

But this peculiar method of attack had disrupted Barrett’s rhythm of battle, causing his physical strength to rapidly deplete at triple the speed.

“This guy… he hasn’t even absorbed the Blood Brew yet he can keep up with my strength and speed? And he possesses such a bizarre blood attack technique, no wonder he was chosen second.”

“Tiffany!!”

With Barrett’s cry,

a burst of wind could be heard.

Three wind-attribute arrows came shooting from different directions, each equally powerful.

“Blood Hand”

A flash of bloodlight crossed before Lucius’ eyes.

The deep-red armor he wore was called the “Blood Curse Armor”.

Lucius triggered a special hidden quest because of his unique blood attribute during his destiny event, which led him to this curse armor in a mansion filled with grudges and curses.

The inner layer of the armor exhibited a leather structure that fused with Lucius’s skin, causing the Blood Curse Armor and Lucius’s physical body to react homogeneously, merging into one.

All physical martial arts could be released directly through the armor,

and the armor itself would protect Lucius from injuries,

If the armor were to be damaged, Lucius could regenerate it by using his own blood.

The armor was an extension of his flesh and bone.

Swish swish swish~ Three blood hands rapidly grew out from the surface of the armor to intercept the incoming arrows.

Rain of blood fell down.

The moment the blood hands collided with the arrows, they were instantly shredded.

Correspondingly, the wind element carried by the arrows was neutralized.

Releasing the Blood Hand technique during battle didn’t affect Lucius’s frontal combat… his engagement with Barrett’s sword skill never faltered, not even showing the slightest decline.

“This bastard!!”

Jealousy arose in Barrett…

Clearly, Lucius’s talent, potential, and skill were all superior to him.

This jealous sentiment quickly morphed into anger, stimulating the component of Blood Brew inside his body…His skin started to show enhancement of veins which accelerates his rhythm of the battle.

Lucius frowned slightly, doing his best to adapt to this rhythm.

…

“Captain Barrett, when activated by the blood, should be able to gradually suppress the other side… Let’s deal with the guy aside first. Although he hasn’t made a move, him standing there makes me uncomfortable,”

Bowman Tiffany saw the situation was stabilized, and chose to switch targets.

The degree of his bow pull increased.

An arrow pulling a tornado shot towards the Mystery Scholar who hadn’t moved since the start of the battle.

“He’s in range, he can’t dodge… Die,” Tiffany was convinced he would take down the target in one shot and showed a joyful expression on his face.

However, the smile on his face froze in the very next second.

When the arrow touched the Bird Beak Doctor’s clothing, it turned into a faint breeze and dissipated.

At the same time, the somewhat chilling Bird Beak Mask slowly turned towards him, staring at the Bowman with an eerie gaze.
