Chereads / Rise of King Arthur / Chapter 21 - FIGHTING THE MAGE

Chapter 21 - FIGHTING THE MAGE

At this time, we heard someone screaming loudly in anguish. I looked at where the sound came from and saw that one of the fighters near the carriage died fighting protecting the carriage. He died from excessive injury in his body. But the scream didn't come from his mouth. It came from a bandit whose chest was pierced by the dying fighter. The fighter before dying took down one of the bandits.

"nooo.....",screamed the teammates of the dying fighter.

"bastaa-ar-d..",said the bandit who was killed by the dying bandit.

This action raised the anger and morale of the fighter's group. They started fighting like mindless maniac. This scared the bandits a lot as they were not expecting the fighter group to suddenly go mad.also, the bandit who died was among one of their best fighter in the low-tier. so, it lowered their groups overall strength.as a result, The fighter's pushed back the bandit group a little with their newfound vigour.

Seeing this, I thought that this is my chance. I have to take care of my side while the other side keeps majority of the bandits busy. If I take care of my side early, then it will be a one on one battle which gives us more chance at victory.

The battle between two groups were raging fiercely. Arthur and Lena fought like one unit. They covered each other's weakness when fighting. But they couldn't find the right timing for a finishing blow. Right now, the bandit mage was not using wind blade magic spell because he knew I can deflect it back at him. So, he used earth magic to attack me and wind magic to repel Lena's fire magic back at us. I was cursing at my dumb luck because this guy was shamelessly using my tactics against us. There's no respect for original creator in people's heart anymore. Everyone wants to shamelessly plagiarise other people's hard work. Well, like I am one to talk, I got my all skills from a cheat system.

Anyway, while fighting I was keeping an eye open for my surroundings, that's when I noticed that even though all the fights had ups and downs only the leader fight was somewhat without substance. I mean they are fighting for a while but they were not that much injured. Even though the archer was harassing the fighter groups leader he was not pressured. He could easily dodge or the arrow will miss him by an inch sometimes. I hope that I am only imagining things.

I focused on quickly ending my fight. Lena was getting exhausted quickly. If I don't finish this fighting fast, she might get in some accidents.

I decided to quickly try my newly learned sword strikes. [SIX WORLD DESTRUCTION SWORD ART] HAS six techniques. I learned third and fourth strike after my recent level up. But I haven't got the chance to try them out. I think now will be a great time to test them out.

My third strike is a kind of stabbing technique. It stabs through one's defence like a hot knife cutting through the butter. With this technique I can stab that mage bastard inside his earth wall. His earth wall is circular in shape so, although its defensive ability is good it also traps him inside with no way out for a while.

So, I wait for him to erect a earth wall while I attack him so that I can catch the bastard off-guard. I slash and stab at the bastard mage but he just uses earth thorn magic to attack me. I get frustrated with this so I asked Lena for help. After throwing some fireball spell at the burned bandit, she prepared a large fireball to attack the mage bandit. While she was preparing the spell, I protected her from both the mage and warrior bandit. I kept both bandits at a distance from Lena with much difficulty.

Seeing that they can't get close to Lena, the bandit mage started preparing his own magic. He created a wider earth wall magic this time with the burned warrior bandit inside it too. I laughed at their bad luck because I thought I will only get the mage with this plan. But I didn't think that both rats will choose to die in the same hole.

[FIREBALL]

When Lena throwed her big fireball at them, they entered their turtle shell and my opportunity arrived right after the fireball magic receded. The fireball didn't work as expected but it created an opportunity for me to catch them unaware.

"zhoosh....stab.."

I quickly stabbed them with my technique and my sword really went in. I stabbed where I saw them before and heard a 'puchi' sound. It felt like I stabbed something. I forced my sword even deeper hearing the sound.

The earth wall magic started disappearing and retreated back to where Lena is. When the earth wall disappeared, I saw that the mage was bleeding from his waist. My sword stabbed him in the waist. He was clutching his waist and groaning in pain. The warrior was shocked. He must not have noticed that I stabbed the mage inside the wall because of it being dark inside the wall.

Now, this is the perfect opportunity to finish both of them. I rushed toward the mage to strike a finishing blow. But before I could knock him out I was blocked by the burned warrior bandit. I 'tsked' and clicked my tongue at this ill-timed interruption.

But then I heard a yelling sound behind me. When I looked behind, my heart went cold immediately.
