Chapter 245 - Battling The Royal Knight

The moment the Grand Royal Knight executed his skill, Tang Shaoyang also activated [Spirit Eyes]. He did not know what [Royal Judgment] did, so he used the [Spirit Eyes] to find what.

[Royal Judgment] was similar to [Harmony Judgment] but the scale was much smaller. A six to seven meters long sword formed above Tang Shaoyang. Thanks to the [Spirit Eyes], he could see what was coming for him. Tang Shaoyang leaped backward, avoiding the golden sword timely.

Boom!

The golden sword struck the ground, creating a shock wave. If it was before, he would not hesitate to test how strong the Grand Royal Knight was. However, he could not do that now, his subordinates were in danger. This was not the time for doing that.

The moment his feet landed on the ground, he activated his skill, [Flash Step]. His body flashed forward and appeared in front of the Grand Royal Knight.

Completely different from the Templar Knight he faced earlier. The Grand Knight had his barrier always up. Even though his movement caught the knight off guard, the knight was still prepared for the worst.

Tang Shaoyang swept his battle-ax toward the Grand Royal Knight. The moment the Destroyer hit the barrier, it cracked, spread outward like a spider web. The Grand Royal Knight was pushed back too, he took two steps backward.

[Revolving Axes]

Four axes formed around his heels and revolved around him. The axes hit the cracked barriers from time to time, and the barrier disintegrated in the fourth hit. However, even without the barrier, the Royal Grand Knight had his shield.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Royal Grand Knight put his shield forward and blocked all the revolving axes. The knight managed to hold his ground under the assault. While the knight managed to hold his ground, the shield was cracked too under the axes.

[Swords Judgment]

From his [Spirit Eyes]ʼs perspective, he could see golden swords formed around him. Nine golden swords circled him with the tip aimed at him.

[Earth Split]

He stomped the ground before the golden swords could shoot toward him. The ground cracked and split open, the crack reached the Grand Royal Knight, and the knight fell to the fissure. At the same time, the nine golden swords vanished as the skill was interrupted.

[Wild Axes]

Two axes formed in his hand and he threw the axes toward the trapped Grand Royal Knight. Two axes were spinning toward the head. The axes pierced through the helmet and pierced through the head. The Grand Royal Knight instantly died from the impact with two axes stuck in his head.

The fissure not only trapped the Grand Royal Knight, but seven Royal Knights behind also fell into the fissure. He ignored the trapped Royal Knight and also the notification in his head as he activated [Flash Step].

There were around sixty to seventy Royal Knights, he had to finish them off fast and got the healing potion from Liang Suyin. He has scanned Chief Rickʼs group but he could not find his subordinates amongst them.

His goal was to clear the Royal Knight first for the villagersʼ safety, and he would look after Liang Suyin afterward.

Maybe the Royal Knight was still shocked they lost their leader in a matter of minutes. They could not react as their leader reacted to his flash movement, these Royal Knights were defenseless.

[Revolving Axes]

The axes whirled around his body, dismembering the Royal Knightʼs body around him. The armor they had on their body could not save them from the axes. After dozens of the knights died, only then others reacted. They tried to rush toward him disorganized, not something the Guardian Knight would do.

Thanks to [Rages Alteration] and also [War Cry] combined, no Royal Knight could hold their ground just like the Grand Royal Knight. The result of getting hit by the Destroyer was three.

One, the knight would die with their bodies split if they did not have a proper defense. Second, their defense skill would crumble or the shield would fly from their grips. And third, their body would be sent flying from the impact.

Each of his swings would at least take one Royal Knight down. When the knight tried to circle him from all directions, Tang Shaoyang would cast [War Stomp]. The shock wave would cause them to lose their balance and they became an easy target for Tang Shaoyang.

He gained two more levels after killing thirty Royal Knights. If it was normal time, he would shout out of excitement. But Gu Yingjie filled his head, he had to finish the Royal Knight quickly.

ʼThis is weird, these Royal Knights are too weak,ʼ he remembered his clash against the Guardian Knight, Templar Knight, and Grand Royal Knight.

He managed to kill the Grand Royal Knight because the latter did not know much about him, his skills, and his style of fighting, ʼThese Royal Knights without a doubt are strong, but they are inexperienced.ʼ

—You are right. They have the power, but they never experienced the battlefield. The moment you take down their leader, they are like chicks who lost their hen.

Zaneos voiced his input too.

Meanwhile, Chief Rick watched the whole fight with his jaw dropped and his eyes opened wide. He knew Tang was so strong after he managed to reach here after battling Templar Knight, but he was not expecting the man would be this strong.

Single-handedly killed the Grand Royal Knight and faced the whole battalion of the Royal Knight, alone. But soon he snapped out of his trance, ”Raise your bow and shoot the knight bastards!” The old man yelled and pointed his spear at the knight that tried to encircle Tang.

With the help of the villagers, Tang Shaoyang took down all the knights within five minutes.

He leveled up twice, but he did not have time to celebrate this. As soon as he finished off the last Royal Knight, he rushed toward Chief Rick, ”Whereʼs Liang Suyin!?”

”Ah!?” Chief Rick pointed in the direction of the deeper part of Orin Forest, ”I have your men to leave while-” the old man could not finish his words as Tang Shaoyang used [Flash Step] toward the direction where he was pointing at.

Tang Shaoyang rushed within his maximum speed. On the way of chasing his subordinates, he found a trail of blood. Faint but it was still clear to his eyes, he followed the trail.

Thanks to his [Spirit Eyes], he easily found them after following the trail for five minutes. Nine Royal Knights were dead, Fan Rui and the other also stopped running. He saw Elin, Arina, Cao Yuntai, and Liang Suyin as well.

Tang Shaoyang rushed toward them, Arina was healing Cao Yuntai while Liang Suyin was holding a body. He recognized the body, she was Chief Rickʼs daughter, Delia.
