Age of Adepts

Chapter 0974 - A Sudden Enemy

The battle was short, but it was tragic.

And the outcome of the battle had been certain from the moment the battle began!

The first to fall was of course that Holy Knight Commander.

Even if he was as skilled as he was, and as pure as the holy light was, under the attack of two powerful opponents in one up and one down, Lambert was still indisputably put down. His longsword was also smashed by the elemental magic weapon, and his body was even scorched black by the violent thunderstorm.

After laying down the victory in one fell swoop, the Level 3 Thunder Dragon soared into the sky, and after a quick glance, it pounced towards the most prosperous and luxurious area of the city. Of course, it didn't forget to give that Sensitive Knight another swift Dragon's Breath before it left.

Thus, Kennett, who was originally able to barely put right with Grim, was also tragic this time. First, he was staggered by a dragon breath, and the holy light protection on his body began to flicker and fade, and then he was flooded by Grim's violent fireballs.

By the time he hissed out of the fireball, all of the clothing on his body surface had ignited, and even the thick sacred armor had been blown apart into some shattered metal armor that was barely hanging on to his body. The skin beneath the armor was covered in charred and crisscrossed scratches, and a terrifying wound tens of centimeters long and several centimeters wide beneath the right rib, the flesh on the surface of the wound had charred and carbonized.

3rd Order...this was the 3rd Order of the Enwek bit!

Grim's flame-filled face showed an imperceptible smirk.

In the En Vik's realm, they, the 3rd rank Golden Knights, might have been considered top-notch combatants, but in the eyes of the powerful sorcerers who came across the border, they were nothing more than difficult hunting targets.

With Grim's current strength, a Gold Knight was nothing to him. If those two Golden Knights were combined together, the combination of Grim and the Elemental Magic Weapon would still have a great chance of victory. If the five Golden Knights from Hessian City were here and Grim went all out, with the Elemental Magic Armament, Thunder Dragon Ams and the newly advanced Plague Poison Remy, they would still be able to beat each other.

If Grim was ruthless enough to deplete another card and pull the Flame Tiger Sindar from the Fire Elemental Plane as a fighter, their side would even have a sixty to seventy percent chance of winning!

But Sindar wasn't one of Grim's men, and it had only promised three chances to fight, so Grim wouldn't waste the promise of a 3rd rank Flame Tiger in such a place if he didn't have to.

Both Gold Knights had fallen, and what remained were some low to mid-tier Silver Knights and Black Iron Knights, and as for the uninitiated Trainee Knights, they didn't even have the ability to set foot on the battlefield.

Not to mention, just Grim's Burning Field, or the vast dragon power of the 3rd ranked Thunder Dragon, were not something their feeble strength could fight against.

When the difference in strength was too great, they wouldn't even have the chance to fight to the death, let alone gather in groups to besiege the enemy.

The battle was over!

Grim smiled as he leaned down, ready to wipe out the two defeated Golden Knights and then search out the materials for the Sorcerer Formation.

But just as he leaned down, the wind whistled in the air, and Grim tilted his head slightly, catching a magnificent, moon shaped sword light out of the corner of his eye.

Holy Light Cut!

It's the Holy Light Cut!

"Drip, drip... warning, warning... super energy convergence detected, preliminary prediction of energy level 4.... "

Harsh screeching alarms rang out in Grim's mind, and his 'clumsy and stiff' body obviously couldn't dodge the sudden and violent sword light in time.

But fortunately, the Elemental Demon Armament was standing right at his side, so with a large hand, his body moved forward in time to block the sword light.

The violent holy light slash and the protective force field of the Elemental Demon Armament collided together, like a red-hot dinner knife cutting through butter, and it cut through the protective force field without a sound. The one-meter long half-moon shaped holy light slash slashed straight at the indestructible metal body of the Elemental Demon Armament, leaving a terrifyingly large wound on it.

With a mere 5 cm difference, this lightsaber would be able to directly break through the 30 cm thick metal body of the Elemental Demon Armament and kill it in one blow!

Even after blocking such a terrifying blow, the Elemental Demon Armor still felt as if it had been hit by an elephant, its entire body flying through the air, crashing through the wall behind it and falling into the ruins of a large building.

With the Elemental Demon Armor's defense still ended up like this, if that holy light just hit him... Grim swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, and for the first time, a little bit of fear rose from his heart.

Grim stood upright, quickly replenishing himself with external body protection while distantly examining the tall and imposing figure that stepped in from the entrance of the Chapel of Sacred Light.

The short, rooted white hair, the pristine, clumsy face, and the look of rage that was so majestic that it dared not be looked at... Grim's heart grew heavier and heavier.

Chapter Four.

The glow of energy emanating from his body was literally like a rising sun in the night, and the shining Grim had to order the chip to turn down the intensity of his elemental vision.

"How...is that possible? You're supposed to have three more days to get here..." even with Grim's calm composure, this was a moment of open-mindedness.

Before doing so, Grim was carefully and carefully investigating the trail of this 4th rank divine knight.

He left the capital on June 12, taking a group of men straight north to the city of Harkans. By the time Grim had slaughtered the city of Harkanth by force on June 17, the holy knight was only halfway there. And when Grim fled thousands of miles to Zola, the other party should have just arrived near Harkans City.

Thus, Grim is perfectly placed to stagger the trip with the other side!

Even if the other side received a message from Hessas City and turned here in time, they shouldn't have arrived so quickly! Did...did something go wrong somewhere?

As Grim's eyes flickered, suspicious, he saw three odd figures of déjà vu behind this 4th rank divine knight.

Although they were all wrapped in thick black cloaks and even their faces were concealed inside low hanging hoods, Grim still recognized them by the 'familiar' energy scent and strange elemental fluctuations.

It's them!

It was the three strange wizards who had crossed the border to hunt themselves!

Did these bastards even choose to work with the Paladins?

Grim felt a spinning sensation, somewhat frightened by the horrible reality before him.

But the doubts just now were resolved.

The Paladins might be long on defense and clumsy on movement, but with the aid of these three sorcerers who had crossed the border, it didn't seem so unacceptable to cross thousands of miles in only four days.

Only this would also indicate that the two groups of enemies that were hunting him were now completely merged! And his situation....

Faced with the 4th rank divine knight striding towards him, Grim didn't dare to hesitate at all, immediately raising his hands and summoning a sprawling rain of fire to smash towards the visitor. His choice was also very shady, as this rain of fire apparently also enveloped the two fallen Golden Knights on the ground.

"Hmm, bold!"

The 4th rank divine knight shouted violently and quickly shot out two holy light bullets, drilling into the two golden knights before the rain of fire could reach them. The two golden knights whose bodies had already turned into charred human forms shuddered steeply, spitting out a mouthful of thin magical flames on their backs, Ug opened their eyes.

Although their injuries were still severe, the holy light in their bodies was triggered by the holy light bombs from earlier and began to dense with a layer of holy milky white light, quickly healing their injuries.

As for the rain of fire, it pressed down to 3 meters to their side and turned into a scattered stream of heat and turbulent flames induced by a strange force, unable to harm them in the slightest.

With a 4th rank holy knight present, Grim would have had no desire to continue fighting.

This time, the rain of fire was summoned both to hinder their continued progress and to limit the Holy Knight's shot so that it could turn its attention to protecting the two Golden Knights.

Grim, on the other hand, took this opportunity to rush into the ruins, retrieve his elemental magic weapon, and flee westward toward the city without looking back.

The three sorcerers who were following the holy knight sneered, which was intended to intercept Grim, but the evil winds whistling overhead and an incredibly powerful thunder grid had wrapped around them all.

"Damn Grim, I knew you wouldn't give me a good introduction... Damn damn damn damn... It's a 4th rank big guy..." the 3rd rank Thunder Dragon's majestic body slid over the Holy Light Chapel, and after spewing out a mouthful of lightning dragon's breath with its low head, it too fled desperately into the distance.

The three sorcerers and that holy knight looked up at the dragon's sturdy and majestic body at the same time, and they were all in awe of it.

That legendary fire witch can summon dragons?

It really doesn't look like a guy like that can be allowed to continue to grow!

The holy knight Ade Kale grunted angrily, his sword raised towards the dragon in the sky, and a milky white holy light instantly descended on the body of the thunder dragon Ames, who only struggled a few times before he couldn't bear the holy power that suddenly swept over his whole body, and was expelled back to the Lance plane under the effect of the prayer of justice.

By this time, Grim was on fire, had fled more than a mile away, and was making a mad dash to the west of the city.

"According to protocol, this guy is ours! You don't have a problem with that, do you?" The sorcerer at the head of the group inquired coldly, hissing softly in a rare and odd manner in his cold words.

"Get out of here, you evil wizards! Remember, if you harm the people of our Zambis Empire, our agreement is null and void. I will personally recapture you one by one, so that you can be purified in the holy light!" The 4th rank divine knight warned in a stern voice.

The muscles on the giant snake sorcerer Natagu's face twitched a few times, but he finally managed to swallow the bad breath and quickly chased after him with his two companions following the scent of the flames left behind by Grim.
