Chapter 1440: Strike Back

Abel was very curious, yet confused as to why two God Rank Knights were heading his way.

There were no cities around, so there could only be one reason. They were there for him!

But the Guardian Wings shouldn’t be able to spot him. If the Demon from Beyond hadn’t been reawakening, he almost wanted to take over the Holy Kingdom.

Indeed, a take over would have been ideal. After all, he could imagine just how powerful the Demon from Beyond was, considering how confident the Wizard Union was in their president.

Still, he couldn’t be too careless. If the Guardian Wings hadn’t spotted him, they must have found Thief God Milton!

He immediately connected to Thief God Milton through the soul chain and noticed he was on full speed using his Holy Speed ability. It was almost as fast as moving in a Flash, so it was basically impossible for the Guardian Wings to stop him.

Abel quickly also noticed a bit of energy leaking out around him, which explained why the two God Rank knights were around.

Afterwards, Abel let out a bit of light energy from his angel avatar and merged himself with the environment around.

He had only learned to use light energy like this with his normal body after some time training and being in the Holy Kingdom.

He was not planning to let those knights go. It was an invasion, and if he was lucky, he might be able to kill two of them!

He had six God Rank Summons in his Monster Ring: God Ranks One through Five, as well as Doff’s avatar.

Since the Wizard Union could not divine anything within the Holy Kingdom, he had no worries about using God Rank Five.

“Seems like this is the shore!” Knight Felix lowered his voice as he looked at the map again.

“Yeah, let’s ambush him here. We cannot let Thief God Milton escape. We have to force him to return all the holy crystals and holy gear he has stolen from our lord!” Knight Harrison nodded.

As the two God Rank knights flew along, they knew they should have enough time to prepare an ambush.

But suddenly, Knight Felix paused.

Knight Harrison also stopped and asked, “Felix, what happened?”

Every second was very important and Thief God Milton could appear at any moment, so he asked.

Knight Felix shook his head. “Something doesn’t feel right!”

As powerful knights, their intuition was extremely powerful, and was their most powerful defense.

Abel had the intuition of a head commander, which was about the same as a God Rank knight, but he was also a true master at using it.

He did not look at the other God Rank Knight directly as he suppressed all of his murderous intent. He even stopped his mental processing, just like a rock.

Knight Felix quickly sensed something was wrong.

It was just that he didn’t know where the threat was coming from. After all, Abel was only a Half-god wizard and all of his Summons were in his Monster Ring. Abel alone could not do that much to the knights, even if he fully unleashed his murderous intent.

“You are right, I also sense something odd!” Knight Harrison exclaimed softly.

As the God Rank Knights exchanged gazes, they quickly unleashed their Worlds. Ice and lightning energy covered the area.

—

Abel felt his brain hurt. He was not expecting his ambush to fail, but he had no choice now, so he immediately brought out his six God Rank Summons.

Doff’s avatar was the only one with a teleportation ability. Although God Ranks One and Five could move via Flash, they could not engage in close battle with knights as wizards.

Knight Harrison was stunned as he gasped, “Retreat, they have six God Ranks!”

Almost without hesitation, the two God Rank knights charged backwards with their Energy Auras unleashed.

Doff’s Avatar disappeared and reappeared in front of Knight Harrison. He did not care that Knight Harrison was charging as he unleashed a Hurricane.

The sword and shield on his hand began to spin; there was no direction for Knight Harrison to go!

By that point Abel had given up on his idea of killing both knights, and instead he decided he should just focus on one. Using God Rank Five to chase after Knight Felix was just for show.

His true target was Knight Harrison. With five God Rank Summons ganging up on the knight at once, Abel’s Summons would be less than useless if they failed!

—

An alert was immediately sounded from the Guardian Wings as soon as the six God Rank Summons appeared.

The Saint’s face immediately sank. He knew Knight Felix and Knight Harrison had gone after Thief God Milton, and this meant Thief God Milton had backup!

Soon, his face turned paper white. There were only so many God Rank Knights in the Holy Kingdom and five of them were battling in the front line. There was no way two God Rank Knights could win against six God Ranks!

Although he disliked Knight Felix, he still couldn’t stand by and do nothing!

“We have six God Rank invaders, call all the God Rank knights on the front line to return!” he yelled.

“Yes, Your Grace!” an attending holy knight bowed.

Those holy knights guards were actually even more anxious than the Saint, since most of them worked under the God Rank Knights. They cared deeply about their safety, so they immediately contacted the front line.

The Saint did not stop his connection with the Guardian Wings. Instead, he kept an eye on the knights’ condition, even though it was using up Faith.

—

Knight Harrison was in an awkward situation; he was now surrounded by three other God Rank Knights, and his attacks were being fully countered by them.

He would definitely win in a one-on-one situation, since their Worlds were empty.

Something must have happened to their Worlds. They only had a form and no details, which drastically reduced their power, but still, it was very hard for Knight Felix to win against three of them, let alone with Doff’s avatar and that God Rank wizard off to the side.

He could feel his life force dropping at an alarming rate. If it continued, he would return to his lord!

“Traitors, you betrayed the lord, you will be condemned!” he screamed at them.

He didn’t understand why those God Rank Knights would go against him. He sensed an oddly familiar energy coming from them, but he just couldn’t believe they were resurrected.

Abel smiled as he saw that was happening. He was standing five miles from the battle and knew he was safe. If Knight Harrison tried to attack him, he would need to get past five God Ranks.

But Knight Harrison probably couldn’t hold on for long anyway. If Abel hadn’t needed a fully intact body, he would be dead already.

Knight Harrison’s fate was decided. It only came down to how long it would take. There was no way for him to escape, as his body was now filled with frost from God Rank One.

The frost still did not stop the bleeding from his wounds. The wounds were all opened up by Doff’s avatar and the three God Rank knights, but at the same time they did not hit as hard, avoiding a fatal strike.

“Ah!!” Knight Harrison roared as he helplessly swung his sword about. He did not care how much energy was draining from his World as he crazily unleashed his skills from within it.

But everything was futile. After all, he was facing five God Ranks at once. He did not have any special skills and everything he did was perfectly countered.

Wounds kept appearing on his body, and if he hadn’t been a God Rank, he would have been dead from blood loss already.

“Harrison, I will use some holy energy to open a path for you, try to escape!” a voice sounded in his ears.

He shook his head. Was it an illusion from his blood loss? But he soon understood, he was under the protection of the Guardian Wings! It unleashed a powerful suppression on those other God Ranks with holy energy.

His gaze was filled with hope as he quickly looked around. Everything had stopped, and he finally noticed Abel as well

He knew he was not as fast as Doff’s avatar and the suppression would only work for a short while on these God Ranks.

He checked on Knight Felix, but he was nowhere to be found.

It made sense since he was only chased after by one God Rank, but he was still irritated by the fact that Felix did not even try to help him. Just luring away another God Rank would have been nice!
