Chapter 386: Something's Wrong, Very Wrong!

~7 min read 1,334 words

"No! Although the Knight Commander is being beaten to the point where he can only defend, he hasn't used his own offensive magic yet. There's still hope!"

!!!

Someone shouted this sentence, suddenly reminding the crowd in the training ground.

That's right!

The Knight Commander hasn't used offensive magic yet!

As long as the Knight Commander uses his ultimate move, everything will get better.

Holding this mentality, everyone's eyes were filled with hope again.

In fact, let alone these rookies who hadn't finished their training.

Even the official members of the Knight Order were paying attention to this matter.

Although Lan Qingyou knew about the Knight Order, it was because she had invited them during the last auction.

If they really talked about fame, the entire Knight Guild was still in its self-development stage right now.

It could be said that without the intervention of the Supreme Council like with the Adventurer's Guild, they would have to develop for at least another period of time before they could possibly step out of their birthplace and export their fame.

However, now with Lan Qingyou's mention, it let some attentive people know of the existence of this Knight Guild.

Even if they didn't know what this guild exactly did right now, it didn't prevent them from first taking note of this guild and slightly making contact.

Anyway, for some people, this was nothing more than wasting a little bit of time.

After all, a person who could be remembered by this Witch was definitely not simple.

To this, if Lan Qingyou knew, she would only say they were overthinking.

Of course, she didn't have time to know right now.

Although she was currently just hovering in one place and simply dropping Potions downwards, this simple repetitive action would still make one feel somewhat tired after doing it for a while.

From the beginning until now, which was about a minute or so, Lan Qingyou had thrown roughly two to three hundred bottles.

Meaning, at least five Potions smashed onto Holger's body every second.

With this frequency, let alone a level twenty-something Shield Warrior, Lan Qingyou felt it would be a sure thing even against a highly representative Dryad.

Because down below was currently experiencing a duality of ice and fire coupled with explosion smoke, Holger couldn't be seen clearly.

Thus, Lan Qingyou decided to pause for a bit to check the situation.

But just as she thought this, a sudden bout of dizziness hit her, making her almost fall off the Magic Broom.

Hmm?

Stabilizing her flight posture, Lan Qingyou held her head with one hand and frowned, looking at the back of her hand.

Right there was her Personal Information.

As she expected, the sudden trance in her spirit was because her Mana Value was rapidly draining.

Lan Qingyou didn't even need to think to know who caused it.

"Holger, I'm going to launch my final attack next. If you can't hold on, hurry up and surrender."

Thus, out of respect for her opponent, Lan Qingyou shouted towards the smoke-shrouded area below.

Although Lan Qingyou didn't consider herself a good person, Holger was truly a good person in the truest sense according to the intel she got.

He was also a knight who strictly adhered to the Eight Virtues and Twelve Precepts of Knighthood in the truest sense.

So naturally, Lan Qingyou didn't want such an existence, rarer than even an honest person, to die.

After all, although such a person had their own moral standards and was troublesome to deal with, if one applied the right remedy, they could sometimes be very useful.

And down below, Holger was currently bewildered.

He was certain he had heard a voice just now, but because the sound of the explosions was simply too loud, coupled with the numerous un-dissipated frost nearby, he couldn't hear clearly what it was at all.

However, right now he was using his skill to attack the oblivious Witch. Based on the current situation, he should be able to achieve his desired effect in about another half a minute.

Holger shook his head, focusing all his attention on the Personal Information on the back of his hand.

In his Personal Information, his Health Value was continuously dropping, filling up, dropping, and filling up, just like an electrocardiogram.

If going by a normal situation, he indeed wouldn't be able to withstand this level of bombing, just as Lan Qingyou had said.

But right now, he was still persevering.

All of this had to be attributed to his SSS-grade innate talent, [Famine Scales].

This was an overbearing innate talent that could forcibly convert an enemy's Health Value or Mana Value into his own Health Value.

However, overbearing as it was, it also had some restrictions, just like Li Huai's SSS-grade innate talent.

That was, it could only target one person each time it was activated, and as long as the damage sustained at one time exceeded his maximum Health Value, he would die on the spot.

So normally, Holger wouldn't fight an uncertain battle, especially not participating in this kind of battle where a big ultimate move could smash over at any time and claim his life.

But in order to realize his ideal, and also for the Knight Order that was currently on the rise.

He also had to make this trip.

Currently, besides needing attention and fame, the Knight Order also needed means to enter the eyes of the Supreme Council.

Only with the support of the Supreme Council could their Knight Guild usher in an explosive development like the Adventurer's Guild.

In this case, he had to at least enter the top four to let more people see.

The remaining people here could be said to be each more like a monster than the last.

So no matter what, he had to win this battle against the Witch.

With his innate talent, even if his attack range was insufficient, he just needed to stall the other party to bring victory to himself.

He just needed to wait until the Witch ran out of Mana Value, then no matter what kind of drive that Magic Broom used, there would definitely be problems.

When she descended, placing a blade against the other party's neck would be considered a victory, right?

However... something seems a bit wrong around here?

Holger, who was just having wild thoughts, suddenly realized something was a bit wrong.

Quiet.

Too quiet.

The explosive sound that felt like it was going to rupture his eardrums just now had disappeared.

Replacing it was an incomparable tranquility.

Did the Witch stop bombing?

If so, could it be a change in attack method? Or perhaps because of the surrounding smoke and dust, she wanted to pause and check the effect first?

Forget it, no matter what, this is an opportunity for me.

His previous retreat was originally just intended to distance himself from the other party for observation.

But he didn't expect the other party's speed in the air to be so fast and attacks so fierce, so he was forced into a corner before the Witch's attack began.

Now that there was an attack interval, he had to change locations immediately.

Although both were passively taking beatings, it was still better than being in this kind of open area.

Going to a corner, because of the Magic Shield, he wouldn't have to suffer attacks from at least two sides in the corner.

Meaning the Witch's damage per second to him would drop by at least a third, only consuming like this would be advantageous to him.

Thinking this, Holger immediately chose the most suitable path amidst the frost and dashed out.

As a result, he hadn't taken many steps when he noticed the shadow under his feet seemed to be growing larger.

Could it be the Witch's new attack was already switched?

A puzzled Holger turned his head to look at the sky, only to see something he never would have thought of.
