With a cold silence, Swordless withdrew the golden sword into his pocket. Unmovingly, he endured my fireball, probably he had already forcibly logged out.
I was almost reluctant to do it, but I knew that what was at stake was not just myself, but also the lives of my friends. A white light flashed, and Swordless Heartless vanished.
I went back to pick up the golden longbow that Lao Yue Shen dropped. It seemed that he was really unlucky. He gave the bow to me twice, saying that he didn't want to lose it. By the way, I had never bought any equipment before...
Looking up at the time, I felt that the long battle had lasted for such a long time, but in fact, it was only thirteen minutes. I had to hurry!
Ignoring the flying hooves that might alert the Fire Lord, I ran towards the place where they were lying in wait.
Far away, a shout was heard: "Is it Lao Yue? Swordless? You only one person came back?"
I didn't reply. I raised my hand and fired a fireball. Ding-ding, the system message said: "Your fireball has been upgraded to intermediate first class!"
It was just in time! Of course, it would have been even better if I had upgraded earlier.
Several loud curses came from ahead. The Fire Lord shouted loudly: "Those three idiots, they actually lost this kid. Everyone, don't be chaotic. Other enemies are about to log in. Let's guard here. Lankes, you stop him. Don't let him come over, and don't chase him!"
Lankes galloped to my front, coldly saying: "Fire Lord, are you stupid? Let me, a knight, stop a mage! In your eyes, a knight is just a tank, right?"
The Fire Lord snorted and didn't reply. Looking at Lankes' stance, I knew he was about to launch the "Rapid Charge".
The charge of a knight is very different from that of a warrior. One is that the range of the knight's charge is much farther and more powerful. More importantly, after the charge, it is almost 100% dizzy.
Knights are undoubtedly the biggest nemesis of players with ranged attacks. According to the remarks I saw on the forum, I haven't heard of any mage or archer who can defeat a knight by more than ten levels!
Of course, the fantasy god of magic I saw yesterday was an exception.
I didn't have space transfer. How to deal with the knight? Although with my stats of health, attack, and defense, I could consider myself a melee player, but the terrifying skills that melee players have, I didn't have any. How could I fight him?
Turning my horse around, since Lankes wanted to charge, I would go too.
Flying Lightning galloped rapidly, but I only heard the rain-like hoofbeats pounding on my heart like a hammer. It quickly approached me.
Less than five meters ahead was a turn. Passing through it would give me a breather. The hoofbeats seemed still ten meters away, and just as I was relieved, I felt a sharp pain in my back. I was hit!
Lankes' rapid charge had already exceeded the speed of sound! The hoofbeats were ten meters away, and the horse had reached behind me! Moreover, he was catching up with me even when my steed was running at full speed!
The black horse in the charging state was much faster than my Flying Lightning. I flew off from the horseback and crashed heavily against the cave wall in front.
Flying Lightning was also lifted up by the black horse, landing almost with depleted health and emitting a mournful cry. I didn't have time to look at my injuries. As the dizziness disappeared, I quickly recalled Flying Lightning to the pet space.
Lankes surprisingly didn't shoot me a bullet. He rode his horse around me, sizing me up, and suddenly shouted at me: "Young man, no 30-level mage can withstand my 'Rapid Charge' attack. Even 40-level ones don't. Get up and fight again!"
I checked my health. This rapid charge actually reduced my health by 410 points! Indeed, even 40-level mages would be killed by it. If it wasn't for the impact of my Flying Lightning's running speed on the force of the charge, I might have suffered a loss of over 500 points of health. It truly deserves to be the profession with the highest attack - Knight!
I slowly restored my health, but I wasn't discouraged. If it weren't for the fact that I wasn't facing Lankes head-on and was hit by the vital part of his back causing enhanced damage, I wouldn't have been so badly injured.
But how could I defeat him?
The knight is taller and has slightly less health and defense than the warrior. If they have a good mount, their agility is even higher. Their most obvious drawback is that they are prone to being restricted by the terrain. Also, once their long spear is blocked by the enemy, it's difficult to change tactics.
The mounts of ordinary players are easily killed, while the horses of knights have the right to be equipped with iron armor, which compensates for this weakness.
If I have time to climb to the top of the cave again, of course, I will be invincible. But the problem is that I don't have this opportunity now.
I raised my head: "Is it Lancel? I know you are a righteous person. What kind of person is the Lord of Fire Spirit? You must also be aware that the hatred we had with him was not our fault! Do you really have to help them?"
Lancel's body paused for a moment: "I don't know who is right and who is wrong. There's no need to know. We play games, we don't pursue justice, we just fight. If you want to convince me, prove it with your power!"
I snorted coldly: "Among the eight virtues of knights, there is the virtue of justice. If you don't care about justice, what are you doing as a knight?"
Lancel angrily shouted: "Are you still a man? To avoid fighting by talking is what women and cowards do. If you don't fight, get out of this cave!"
I couldn't help but feel my blood boiling: "I'm just trying to save my friend. I don't want to waste time on you. Do you really think I'm afraid of you? Knight? To hell with you!"
Lancel laughed heartily.
Almost simultaneously, the knight's spear completely penetrated my right chest without any obstruction and emerged from the back!
This shot wasn't blocked by the shield and the sheild god suit. I lost over 100 points of defense and it was a critical attack. It knocked off over 500 points of health from me in one go.
My approach was truly without any thought. I didn't know if it was because I was angered by Lancel or if it was an instinctive move to come up with this countermeasure against him.
Lancel was stunned and before he could react, he had already been struck by two lightning bolts on his face, losing 150 points of health.
Not paralyzed by the lightning, Lancel shouted loudly and forcefully pulled the spear, but I grabbed the empty hand left by the shield with my left hand and couldn't pull it out.
Lancel didn't expect that my strength was not much weaker than his. In the blink of an eye, my lightning spell landed on his head again. This time, he was stunned!
The reason I didn't use a more powerful fireball to attack him was because my body couldn't withstand the next blow. I hoped to use the lightning to paralyze him for a little while.
Lancel's health should be over 450, and he definitely has a quick-acting blood medicine. He shouldn't be able to be killed for now. But my health was rapidly decreasing due to excessive blood loss. I hesitated for a moment and didn't attack Lancel. Instead, I took a blood medicine and cast a healing spell.
Since I had controlled the knight's spear, the greatest threat to Lancel, victory should be close.
But in this split second, Lancel had woken up. He shouted loudly and suddenly a white light appeared on his spear - "Holy Light to Destroy Evil"!
The white light burst out from inside his spear. Although I had turned off the pain sensation beforehand, I almost fainted. The white light almost took away all the strength in my body. And my HP was rapidly decreasing as my blood flowed out.
I miscalculated. The Holy Light caused me over 100 points of damage. My health was almost depleted!
The healing speed of the blood medicine and the healing spell counteracted the damage from the Holy Light and the loss of health. My HP was still decreasing at a rate of 10 points per second, and I could only hold out for 9 seconds!
I added another healing spell to myself, and suddenly Lancel swung his long spear: "Gale Spin!"
My body flew up with the long spear. Lancel's strength seemed to have suddenly increased. The long spear, carrying my body, spun in the air in a circle. The centrifugal force almost threw me off.
If Lancel continued to use the Holy Light spear technique, I could only hold out for a little longer. Maybe he was trying to tell me that he has more than one way to break my "Spear Lock Technique"!
Now, this move of his, although it seems even more terrifying and tears open my chest cavity, inflicting 60 points of damage in the first round, has given me a glimmer of hope.
I saw the right moment and suddenly let go, my entire body flying out like an arrow released from a bow. I collided with a concave cave wall. I tightly clung to the rock on the wall, let out a breath, and the impact force had reduced my health to only 4 points!
Healing spells, blood potions - all were added crazily to myself. I gritted my teeth, Lancelot, now it's my turn!
No, that's not right. This guy is different from the merciless one under the sword. His gun is four meters long! With a single movement, he can stab me.
Lancelot's voice echoed on the ground: "Friend, you are a true warrior. I retract what I said just now. If you still have strength, go help your friend. I will no longer participate in your conflict!"
The hoofbeats sounded, and Lancelot's figure disappeared into the darkness.
Was it out of a sense of justice, out of respect for heroes, or out of pity? I didn't have time to consider. I only knew that my brothers had one more chance.
Although our battle was far from the Fire Spirit King and his group, the Fire Spirit King still knew the outcome. The angry shouts came from afar, but he didn't come to kill me.
Just one step away from success! Now there are only four enemies: the Fire Spirit King, the Summoner, the Magic Warrior, and a Priest.
As long as I can hold back the Fire Spirit King and one of the Magic Warriors, the Summoner and the Priest are not terrifying. If the first to enter the battle is the Tiger King, there is a chance to survive the first wave of attack!
There's still time, six minutes left. That's really great. The Tiger King and his group were so punctual, not a single one arrived early. Well, being too punctual is not good, arriving late is best, and the longer the delay, the better!
I suppressed my excitement and tension, quickly arranged the Satyr God suit, the serious injuries on my body couldn't be completely cured by my current healing spells and potions. Eating the medicine, my blood was still decreasing at a rate of 2 points per second, and various attributes also decreased due to the serious injury state, but I didn't consider that anymore. I strode towards the enemies.
The Fire Spirit King was really calm this time. He cursed me shamefully, didn't know what lies he used to provoke Lancelot, but didn't mean to attack or call for others to come over.
I'm already within the range of the Fire Spirit King's magic. My intermediate fireballs are not far enough. This was the best timing for him to act, but the Fire Spirit King still didn't move. It seems he is determined to focus his energy on the others who will enter the battle first.
Is the Fire Spirit King not so stupid? I chuckled to myself, looking at the enemies in the field. All four were present, no ambush, and they have already entered my magic range. It's up to me.
Suddenly, everything went dark. I entered a blue space. My intuition quickly told me, it was an array!
