Chapter 1087: Not Breaking

Druid Lendo laughed loudly, “Bring me too, Master Bennett! I’ll see a legendary knight, so I can tell my fellow druids about it!”

Wizard Hal had a weird smile on his face, “Whatever! Ha! The lightning clan is with you, Master Bennett! Either we live to tell the tale, or we die fighting to protect you!”

Abel wasn’t expecting this much emotion coming from all of them. It was funny and heartwarming to him, actually. He tried to stop the three potion masters before they opened their mouths. Whether these three could help was something else, but he was sure that the essence of the legendary knight alone was enough to kill them.

Abel had no way but to rely on Frankenstein, “Bring us to the topmost platform!”

Frankenstein was beside him to teleport him to the topmost platform. Once the instantaneous movement was activated, they saw Knight Ando very close to them.

Abel gave a loud greeting, “Hello! Are you looking for your missing finger, by any chance?”

No one else knew what to say. They never heard that Abel chopped off the finger of a legendary sacred knight. To be more honest, they were more afraid and curious than impressed by what Abel claimed he did.

Even Knight Ando was a bit taken by surprise, “Are you trying to taunt me, Bennett?”

After saying that, Knight Ando unleashed all the essence inside his body to hold down everyone on the golden castle’s topmost floor. He wanted to make it so that everyone other than Master Bennett would die. They all heard how he was being humiliated, so he must do what he could to retain his reputation.

Something was off, though. When his presence pressed downward, he realized that he could never make it to the outer layers of the golden castle. There was a barrier. He knew that. What made him surprised was the young female elf beside Abel.

“An elven sainte? Is she underaged?” he laughed and pointed at her, “I can kill two birds with one stone? All the better!”

He wasn’t sure if Lorraine was the Sainte, but if she was, his next move was to get as far away as possible. Not with an underaged one, though, because she couldn’t activate the divine bestowment to the max. Sainte’s had to be killed while they were underaged, actually. This was the perfect time to get them before the next one could be cultivated within decades or even centuries. The temple had always been through difficulties trying to find the right individual with the talent and mental qualifications to train into a Sainte. The Moon Goddess’s power might be frightening, but if this weakness could be exploited, that’s a lot of damage to recover from.

This was why Knight Ando was so happy to see Lorraine here. As far as he was concerned, he just needed to kill the elven Sainte of this generation and bring Master Bennett back alive. He wouldn’t just get his finger cured. He would’ve gained a whole lot more rewards for this.

Druid Lucia and Druid Buela were putting themselves forward, “Be careful, Lady Sainte!”

Knight Ando turned his head very quickly. He just realized how close this place was to the temple. Knowing this made him want to stop talking immediately. The temple had always had a special way to accept the powers of a divine spirit. It was meant to deal an instant killing blow to whoever was coming. With that in mind, he decided to be as quick as possible to finish his business here.

“Charge!”

By activating charging in midair, Knight Ando became a shadow flying straight towards the golden castle. The legendary strike of a knight could penetrate through a city’s defensive circle if done properly.

“Boom!”

Followed by a loud noise, ten invisible giant shields were created and blocked Knight Ando’s hit. Abel was a bit worried before, but he knew that there was nothing left inside of him. From his understanding, Knight Ando’s attack only wasted two top-level gemstones on the battlefort. Within the golden castle, about twenty stones were expended. This was a lot of damage in a very short amount of time.

But so what? Abel had tens of thousands of stones in this fort. His attack had to stay up for several days to actually break through. By the way, Abel had all the time and resources he needed to recharge the energy slots at any given point. He could kill Knight Ando by exhausting him to death.

Knight Ando screamed, “What is this circle?”

He activated his sword’s “vengeance” technique and slashed at the barrier in front of him. Fire, freezing lightning was constantly transforming from the blade he was slashing.

Abel just pointed at Knight Ando and made some comments, “That, Lorraine, is a legendary knight. This is called “vengeance,” a technique in which you fuse fire, freezing, and lightning elements to throw a killing attack to your target. It’s a serial attack meant to be very difficult to defend against. Look, those three elements and the blade itself is what makes it so versatile and difficult to fight against.”

Everyone else was watching, and they didn’t know what to think. The strongest fighters on this continent were just a few hundred meters away from them, but Master Bennett introduced their fighting techniques to his girlfriend.

Lorraine was starting to feel a lot anxious, “It’s very, um, yeah, visually it’s very cool!”

There was red fire, white freezing, and flashing lightning that looked like fireworks mixed with different gunpowders.

Druid Lucia asked Abel, “Should we get out of here, Master Bennett?”

Abel was confident, “Don’t worry! I’ve strengthened the defense of the castle. Unless this legendary knight’s attack is multiplied by, what, a hundred times? Unless he can do that, he’s just going to keep staying there.”

Nobody was anxious now. It was just one legendary sacred knight attacking them from above. It looked scary, but after hearing what Abel said, they felt at ease.

Lorraine was starting to point at the shields, “You have a very ugly defensive circle, Bennett. Look.”

Abel wasn’t sure what she meant, “What do you mean, ugly?”

Lorraine laughed and spoke, “It looks like a turtle shell!”

Everyone was laughing now. No one was feeling tense. Abel threw a thumbs up in approval. He knew that Lorraine was trying to soften the tension here. Otherwise, Knight Ando would overwhelm them with stress.

Meanwhile, a spiritual qi light ring was flashing underneath Knight Ando. The attack just then had no effect. He wanted to break through with some either means, but again, the castle’s defense consisted of physical and energy barriers. “Sacred freezing” was constantly flashing in the air. Frost appeared on the barrier, but nothing was effected on the inside. All it took for the elements to disappear was a few seconds.

Abel laughed and explained to Lorraine, “This is my octagonal hybrid circle! The dwarves helped me with it!”

Wizard Hutton was not sure how to respond. If the dwarves could actually construct something this advanced, they would’ve kept the Nation of God away from the frontline a long time ago. Anyways, back to looking at Knight Ando. He was just entertainment material for everyone now.

Knight Ando eventually stopped attacking and started calculating. He was starting to understand the principles on which this circle was built. All his attacks were dispersed, and unless his attack could reach a certain threshold, there was no way that he was going to break this through.

The only thing he was missing now was time. If he had time, he could clear through the energy dispersion function and let the circle break on its own. He needed to find a weak point. If he hit the right spot, the barrier would shatter instantly. With that in mind, he scanned to the circle in front of him.

Abel was standing on top of the platform. As he looked at Knight Ando, a sneer appeared on his face. Within the central operation room of the underground basement, the dark spirit was absorbing all the nearby top-level gemstones. A black mist was spread out and passed into the circle. The circle spirit seemed to be afraid of the dark spirit and did nothing to stop it.

Within an instance, a dark qi was appearing from the octagonal hybrid circle Knight Ando was standing on. There was a trace of gold in it, but no one was going to notice. Meanwhile, Knight Ando’s power of the Will was inserted into the circle. This was a thin, long thread of power that was going to be extended into the circle. As soon as it went in, it was entangled by the black mist.

“Ah!” Knight Ando screamed. He couldn’t believe that his power of the Will was being bitten by something. His thread was actually snapped. It felt so painful that he was found it hard to stand in midair.

Abel spoke softly, “Attack.”

No, it wasn’t said to the people around him. It was to the small-sized war puppets on the walls. Within an instant, all the puppets, under the commands of the research spirit and the circle spirit, started controlling the war machines and launched their first wave of attack.

Under the fire of the dwarven ballistas and giant ballista cannons, tens of arrows flew towards Knight Ando and covered his entire body.
