Chapter 984 - Castle Invasion
Chapter 984: Castle Invasion
Frankenstein flashed forward with Abel’s giant body towards the castle on the peak while the 6 mad knights were still battling with the wizards.
They were only 2 kilometers from the castle. With another kilometer, they would enter the attack range of the 2000 holy knights.
The castle utilized the same technology as magic towers. After long years of battle, many low-rank professions and followers of god were taken in by the Evil kingdom.
Luckily this magic tower technology was made for wizards, and only wizards could fully unleash its potential.
Knights had an attack range of a kilometer, but wizards would at least be able to 10 times that range.
This was also why the Lightning clan only assigned 1 law-defying wizard to guard their castle. With a spirit as an assistant, invaders would be spotted from afar, so all the wizards needed was to protect the magic circles.
Although the castle sacrificed a lot in this battle, it was worth it, considering it was the front-line battlefield.
As Abel was flashing, he connected to Doff through the soul chain and sent it a command.
Its attacks dramatically slowed down the knights, but it suddenly vanished and began flashing towards the castle on the peak.
A kilometer was only a few seconds for the charging knights, so stopping them was not really possible.
It was also because Abel was dragged down by the soul beam earlier and did not chase after the knights.
Although Frankenstein tried his best to catch up with Abel, stopping them from kilometers was still unlikely.
Frankenstein might be able to do it by himself, but he was also carrying Abel’s 10 meters dragon form, which limited his spell casting speed.
As Doff entered the kilometer range of the castle, golden mana hammers suddenly emerged from the ground.
They began to swirl crazy in that kilometer range and formed a golden chain of the hammer in mid-air.
‘Preaching hammer’ was one of those rare automatic elite holy knight attack spells. With the help of the magic circle, this spell was amplified to a range of 1 kilometer.
1000 elite holy knights lined their preaching hammer up in a chain around the caste as they engulfed themselves in ‘focus’ and ‘meditation’ aura.
The attack of the preaching hammer was scary. It could almost disregard any elemental defense.
It was one of the most powerful moves of the holy knights, but it was rarely used in normal battles.
The reason was simple, its unpredictable swirling motion in mid-air made it hard to target an enemy.
On the other hand, the intermediate holy knights in the castle were ruthlessly casting Holy Bolts towards Doff.
Countless pure white holy beams flew out with holy energy. Even Doff could dodge them easily. The holy energy was helping the 6 mad knights recover.
The Lightning wizards did want to approach the castle. Once the knights started healing, there was nothing they could do.
However, at that moment, Doff’s power in defense was on display. The preaching hammer kept landing on its body, but they were all blasted away by its fur.
Those attacks couldn’t even stop it from flashing, and he was in front of the castle with 3 flashes.
Doff was an impulsive animal. It jumped up and heavily struck down on the castle wall with its giant rod.
An energy shield flashed on the castle wall, and it was more powerful than any large protection circle Abel saw in the Central Continent.
It was at least a city-level protection circle, and a thing like that was installed onto a castle. You could imagine its power.
Doff’s first strike sent a shockwave through the energy shield, but it did not break it. But it was because of that. Countless preaching hammers attacked him at once.
With such a big target, those preaching hammers would not miss even if they were hard to control.
Doff was knocked back. It was furious, but it soon got a command from its master.
Abel had no choice. Even with the fighting instinct of a Beamon, Doff would go insane once it was angry.
Abel knew it was not a good strategy, so he quickly made a command.
Doff immediately flashed away and reappeared on the other side of the castle after a second. It struck down heavily with its rod and sent a shockwave throughout the castle once again. Just like that, the process began to repeat itself.
All the others could see was a giant Beamon appearing and disappearing.
After 10 strikes, a clean cracking sound emerged, and the protection circle vanished into sparkles.
This circle was not only protected by a city circle but it was also made out of the best material. Luxury items like this would only be seen on the front-line battlefield.
Doff continued. It disappeared again after the protection circle was broken and started its invasion.
Each strike it made came with a bang, and big holes were opened up on the city wall. However, it was not enough for Doff to enter.
A normal castle wall would fall immediately with an attack like that, but this castle was entirely made out of iron and heavy metals. It was one of the strongest things out there.
Dong! Dong! All of a sudden, Doff was looking like a blacksmith.
The knights within the castle wanted to attack, but they could not follow Doff’s movements. Even if they did, it didn’t do much to Doff.
At that moment, the 6 mad knights returned, and they began to charge towards Doff.
At the same time, Abel, Frankenstein, and the 5 law-defying wizards with their 5-star magic circle also entered.
Those 2000 knights were trapped without a protection circle. It was not that they didn’t want to come out, but Doff’s metal rod had already merged the city gate and city wall into one.
It was a special character of metals to not break into pieces, so Doff’s momentarily role as blacksmith perfectly locked the knights up.
A metal castle was molded, not built, to increase its defense and stop the invasion. Metal strips also bound all the windows.
The only entrance and exit was the city gate. Although there were countless teleportation circles as well, they were all useless when the gate was shut.
Doff was having its moment. It didn’t even want to fight the 6 mad knights anymore. Instead, it kept flashing away and reappeared to attack.
The 5 law-defying wizards turned their 5-star teleportation circle towards the metal castle. Without a protection circle and many amplifying circles beginning to be damaged, it was no longer an impenetrable target.
They perfectly aimed at the window of the castle and cast 10 chains of lightning. There were 2000 knights in the castle. Their attack would be able to land on one even if they didn’t focus.
The special thing about the chain of lightning was that it would automatically shift to another 8 targets once it was unleashed.
Screams of agony began to emerge from the castle as soul beams shot up. However, the strange thing was that it was flying towards the giant dragon in the sky.
When the first soul beam entered Abel, he sensed calmness filled his body.
“Thief !” Mad knight Dan’s eyes were blood red. He no longer cared about the knights in the castle as he soul the soul beams being sucked into the dragon.
All souls would return to their god on the front-line battlefield once they died. This was why they were all willing to be so ruthless.
The soul of a holy knight belonged to their god, so what Abel was doing was stealing from their god. After all, the soul of a holy knight was their only peace of mind.
So, of course, Mad knight Dan and the other 5 mad knights were furious. They quickly turned their battle formation towards the dragon in the sky.
The 5 other mad knights gathered their holy energy on to mad knight Dan. With a roar, Mad knight Dan’s sword turned into a beam of light and shot up for a few hundred meters.
Abel was caught off guard, but there was nothing he could do. His body was bound by the soul beams crazily rushing into him.
He noticed the silhouette of knights appearing in his relaxed body. They all struggled at first, but they quickly fell to their knees and prayed like the most loyal disciples once they entered the crystal angel statue.
Wizard Davy, on the other hand, did not pay too much attention to Abel. He knew Abel would be fine. He was recognized by the goddess of the moon and was the recognized husband of elf Sainte.
Anyone could have a connection with the Evil kingdom, but not Abel. After all, the Goddess of the moon was at constant war with the demons from beyond.
Although the elves did not contribute much in the front-line battlefield, the goddess of the moon would definitely show herself and fight alongside the wizard union if the demons from beyond invaded.
It was none of his business that Abel was absorbing soul beams. Considering Abel’s connection with the goddess and the tree of life, anything could happen to him.
Therefore, Wizard Davy gathered the attention of the 4 other law-defying wizards again and began their massacre in the castle.
Yes, it was a massacre. A law-defying wizard could already dominate a group of elite and intermediate knights easily, and those knights were trapped in a damaged castle without the ability to get into their formation.
The 5 law-defying wizards expanded their power of the will and began to cast chains of lightning into the castle again.
Their speed of killing was scary, and 2000 knights were mowed down like grass.
Just like that, this castle built to protect the knights became their grave.
