Vol 8 Chapter 2

ACT 2 Final Winner?

Heung, even with that its only going to extend the time until you lose. Crush them!

Raiden led the troops and rushed in.Although 30 people died from the paladins surprise attacks, the Hermes Alliance still had around 100 people. On the other hand, with the paladins the Dawn Blade coalition only had 50 people.The difference was twice as much.In addition, the damage of the paladins werent that strong. While on horseback outside the castle, their offensive dealt heavy damage to the magicians, but most of the users gathered in the Hall of Glory were users with high defense. It wasnt so easy to hurt them.No, since they had twice as many troops then there was still a large difference.

Ark, it is time for the final stage. Lets go!

No, please wait a moment.

Ark stood in front of Jjak-tung and said.In this situation it was clear that the Hermes Alliance had the overwhelming advantage but.

What on earth?

Ark looked at Alan strangely.Alan definitely looked uneasy before. But when the paladins appeared he immediately changed. He just sat back and watched the Hermes Alliance attack with a relaxed face.It was like a subtle sense of provocation was coming from him.!

Ark was soon able to confirm the ominous feeling.

Kill the enemies with the power of God, Divine Field!

The moment the two troops were about to crash into each other, Alan used a wide area magic. A blue light spread like a wave along the floor. But the soldiers from the Hermes Alliance didnt pay any attention.Alans Holy Knight skills were fairly well known.It was natural because Alan was famous.Among them, the holy magic that only exerted a lethal force on the undead. However to normal monsters and users it wasnt an intimidating skill. If it was damage received from a distance, then it would deal at most 70 damage. It was like a tickle for warriors with health around 3000 points.

Just ignore it!

Heh, he probably wants to save manais that why hes using these skills?

It is lucky that weve managed to back Holy Knight Alan into a corner.

The warriors snorted and laughed.However, it didnt take long until it turned into screaming.

Divine field!

The armour of the knights abruptly became white and red hot at the same time the spell was chanted. The floor became so hot that it turned blue. Including Alan it was 18 people!The divine field overlapped 18 times. The wide area magic dealt 1000 damage!

Keuahahak!

The fierce warriors had their health decreased by half as they were wrapped in the blue flames. The warriors who were barely out of the range quickly pulled out potions to recover from the incredible damage. Surprised words emerged from Raidens mouth.

What, what the? Isnt Divine Field a special skill of the Holy Knight?

T-thenthese guys are all Holy Knights?

No way!

Cries of shock and distress burst from the Hermes Alliance. And Raiden roughly shook his head.

Thats impossible. Holy Knight is a hidden profession. It isnt possible to change professions so easily!

Yes, they must have used other magic to cheat!

Divine field has a long cool down.

It must be the last desperate struggle. Dont be scared to attack!

The warriors swung their weapons and ran up again.Then Alan smiled and murmured coldly.

It is certainly the last desperate struggle. But that last struggle isnt something so trivial. Defense Aura, Elemental Aura and Warriors Strength!

He overlapped 3 of the Holy Knights special skills!Alan raised their defense, strength and elemental resistance, as well as increasing their willpower and total health by 20%.The Holy Knights skills were strongest in a group! But since there were 2 times as much troops it wouldnt make that much difference. No, it couldnt be. However.

Defense aura, Elemental aura, Warriors Strength!

Once again the knights armours glowed so they were using the same skill?At the same time, the aura was overlapped 18 times. It was an enormous boost in defense and health! Even the attacks of the level 180 pioneers werent able to properly hit. In addition, the health went up so much that it didnt even appear to decrease.Since they were unable to hit them, the soldiers ran around attacking the other members while avoiding Alan and the knights.

Come on, there is only 40 minutes left.

Alan said in a relaxed tone as he looked out the window.On a hill far away, the hourglass that signalled the siege deadline was already reaching the bottom.Alan only had to hold out for 40 more minutes.If no one occupied the throne then the siege wouldve failed.

Everybody start shooting at once!

After seeing the situation, Ark ordered the bombardment to start. However, the attacks were blocked by the knights shields.

.It was truly impregnable!

What, what is up with these ridiculous guys.!

Raidens face darkened.Since the knights protected Alan and the throne in a circular formation, there was no way to access it. Also, the damage dealers such as magicians or thieves had all died a while ago thanks to their low defense.In this situation, he didnt know if they could get through the knights wall of defense in the time limit. No, if they tried to attack with force then they might get exterminated instead.

Damn, theres not much time remaining..!

Raidens lips went dry at the sight of the falling sand. Ark was also impatient as well.He had thought it was over. So what was with the absurd turn at the last moment? If this siege failed like this then all his efforts would be for nothing.Sid would rot in prison and he wouldnt be able to get his 5,000 gold back. But was that all? The potions and repair costs that he wouldve received from Raiden would disappear into thin air.The damage would be thousands of gold!

It was just like a death sentence for Ark.

Even if I die, I have to make the siege succeed!

It happened when Ark started getting restless.

Saek saek saek?

He heard a familiar sound at his feet.When Ark lowered his head, Snake immediately climbed up and rubbed against his face.

Eh? Why is Snake here?

Ark soon had a strange thought in his head.While Snakes charm always made Ark laugh, now was not the time for Snake to be playing.However, whenever Snake rubbed its body against Ark it meant that it had something to vomit out. And it would move its head from side to side as if asking for praise.

Ah, thats how Snake looks when it has collected something that I would praise it for. Then

Ark took a deep breath and removed the item. After looking at the information window, he felt refreshed and full of ideas.
