Chapter 94: Bringing down the Rain 2

The explosion turned the entrance of the monastery into rubble. He knew that making the well-known monastery blow up. He would attract countless enemies coming to the aid of the church. But that was not the problem. The problem was that all the ascended knights inside.

With the monastery in rubbles, the least shocked knights inside the building rushed out with their mana surging to the roofs. All of their abilities enhanced and spells on full throttle.

He saw them. He saw them destroy the marble walls easily. The heart of his pumped, yet he methodologically pressed his cheeks on the stock of his silenced rifle. Time seemed to slow down as his eyes dilate, his heart pumping to a very dangerous degree. All of his blood vessels were flowing blood abnormally and the sugar in his head made him perceive time slower than normal.

With the massive amount of Epinephrine flowing forcefully around his body, he was able to aim at the weakest knight first and shot the knight right in the eye.

The Knight could not even see the bullet as it went pass through his cornea and outside of his skull. Blood spattered and the knight fell down lifelessly in front of him like a kite who lost it's string.

There were other knights. And they continued to bring their sword down upon him, not daring hold back their power, cruelly trying to end him at once.

He could only shot once before they would appear near him so he aimed his silenced rifle at one of the weakest knights, and did the same thing.

Then the strongest looking knight came crashing down upon him. His sword flowing with mana forcibly pummeled towards Arden.

Arden, around the time, saw the sword three inches away from him, he managed to convert the silenced rifle into the hardest metal he can convert it to. But even with that, the metal turned rifle got chipped, and bent. To avoid taking all the impact, he uses the force of the swing, curled his back and used his legs to throw the Knight off.

The other knights went bearing upon him. Their swords cutting the rain, and making a hissing sound as the mana slowly charges forward at him.

He then converted the rifle back to mana, pressed his palms on the flagstones, and rotated his lower body and hit the two knights right in the chin.

The Knights got rattled by the kick and it was enough for Arden to make use of the opportunity to dodge. He then tumbled away and rolled upright, putting himself back into a stance, while the knight he threw with his legs attacked him again.

He then uses his Mana, and his enchanted senses to manifest bits of skin into Inconel. The changed shredded the skin on his arms.

But doing so, he was able to use his Inconel-turned forearms to deflect the wild flurry of blows from the knight. Left, right, up, down and vertically, the Knight was fast and precise.

If it wasn’t for his fighting method, then he would have suffered. His fighting method consisted of using his forearms like a shield, and elbows like daggers that he could use to counterattack. The other knights didn’t stay still and tried to take him too. So he pulled the pin sticking out of his belt and detonated the bomd, then a flash happened.

It blinded the Knights and using that, he wrapped his legs around one of the Knight's cervix and twisted the throat of the Knight backward.

He then used the shoulder of the knight as a platform and launched himself like a panther into one of the knights, pulling his dagger, and stabbing it right in the mouth of the knight. He could not possibly injure the Knights while they were wearing thick armor, so he made sure to aim at the unprotected parts like the eyes or the mouth.

The Knight saw his comrades fell. He went into a tranquil fury and before the heathen could pull his dagger out, he used a burst of strength and impaled the man right in the torso.

The blow pierced Arden’s body armor, but it managed to slide down where it won’t be vital. He was only a mage and the Knight before him was a true ascended knight, an old Knight who held power. He expected to be injured, thus he could only use his own hands to break the blade of the Knight, seal the wound while the blade is intact, and use drive his fist right into the mouth of the knight, and dropped the pellet bombs right in the throat of the Knight.

The Knight tried to spit out the pellet bombs but within the second, it exploded and blew the insides of the Knight, caving the armor of the knight inwards.

Arden got blown away by his own explosion. He felt his ears ring and his body trembling. He touched his wound and turned it back into flesh. He pulled the broken blade and coughed blood. He then forcibly weaved his wounds and then stood up, while biting his teeth.

He could still feel the knights inside the area. So he focused his Mana, chanted his mantra and constructed a firearm with black circular barrel near the trigger. This weapon could fire in succession and be constructing one almost made him faint.

Red lines appeared on his body and steam seemed to come out of from the lines. Arden felt like he was being burned but still he turned his unlit golden eyes at the hole where the knights came out. He dragged his injured body there, his posture a bit unsteady, and his limbs a bit trembling.

The Ascended Knights were no joke. And he only fought four Knights and he was already injured. But Arden couldn’t stop now. He needed something from this monastery and he will get it. He knew that inside was the most dangerous place he will go but nonetheless he focused his mind with a single-minded grim determination, to go there and fight.

He wanted to know and he will get what he wanted.

...

The explosion shook the area around Dunwich. Various Knights and Ascended Knights looked at the source of the explosion and their eyes narrowed and knitted.

One of those who heard it was Sena. She heard the explosion and immediately she went to the walls of the City with a maddened dash and enhanced his senses to an extent.

Other Knights that could use their eyes like telescope saw the statue of the sun that glows, toppled, replaced with a few dust and smoke from the explosion.

Seeing the Monastery attacked. Almost all of them knew what to do next. It is their duty and thus they could draw their swords and rushed to the monastery to help. In their minds, only fools or strong individuals could dare to attack the monastery.

Sena, along with the others went to the monastery at full speed. Their legs enchanted with Mana, all of the hundred Ascended Knights and Knights rushed at the Monastery to help.

For the actions that were done to the Monastery, is of Blasphemy and a direct insult to the God of Light that protects the town from the dire and monsters around the area.

The sun’s crown statue that was located on top of the monastery has prevented the town of Dunwich from the mythical beasts. And now that it was topped or possibly destroyed. Sooner or later, the monsters will start clawing the walls of the flourishing town.

Most of them don’t know who the enemy is. But one thing for sure is that they will do their utmost best to neutralize the threat.

For no one messed with the sun’s crown and its protection. For all men and women of the area have relied on its light and now that the light has been desecrated by a chaotic individual, it is up to them to bring back order to chaos.
