Chapter 34 - Dark Knight

"Your Highness, please calm down." The one who answered was a Skeleton Mage whose bones were covered with runes.

The Skeleton Mage was wearing a leather cloak.

The cloak was covered with golden runes.

However, if one looked carefully, one would realize that the cloak was sewn with human skin.

This Skeleton Mage was also level 5.

"Tell me how to calm my anger! My soldiers are dying! My enemies are standing on their city walls and laughing at us!" the Skeleton Prince shouted loudly.

"Your Highness, if I'm not wrong, there should be a high-level Priest in the camp who cast a divine spell to dispel the effect of the halo. The fusion pearl can only fuse the effect of the halo together. However, once the halo is dispelled, the fusion pearl will naturally be ineffective."

The Skeleton Mage named Anthony spoke slowly.

"Then what do you think we should do?" the Skeleton Prince said coldly.

"It's very simple. We haven't completely failed. We'll wait for the White Bone Elephant to charge forward. As long as the White Bone Elephant reaches the camp, the defense of the camp will definitely be destroyed. At that time, the Skeleton Army will swarm forward and easily crush the camp into pieces," Anthony said.

"No, this speed is too slow. I will lose too many soldiers. I have to rush back to fight for the right to inherit the throne. If I lose too much here, it will greatly affect my plan," the Skeleton Prince said coldly.

"Then please ask the Dark Knight beside you to step out. As long as the Black Knight can charge into the enemy's camp and kill the Priest, then the dispelling effect will naturally disappear. At that time, those halos can be restored, and your soldiers will once again become invincible warriors," Anthony said calmly.

"Can you do it?" The Skeleton Prince looked at the Skeleton Knight who was completely covered in black armor beside him.

This was the advanced class of the Skeleton Knight, the Dark Knight. Its class level was as high as level 5, and its entire body was covered in hard black armor. The black armor was full of terrifying spikes, and attacks below level 3 could not cause any damage to it at all.

On its back were two long, two-handed greatswords.

It also had many offensive skills such as Chop, Cleave, and Slash.

It was a class with powerful single-target attacks.

Because its combat strength was outstanding, it had been promoted by the Skeleton Prince to a guard, and it had always been by its side.

"No problem, it's just a Priest. I can kill it with one sword!"

The Dark Knight's eyes flickered with soul fire, and it revealed a disdainful smile.

"Go, get rid of that Priest and bring back their leader's head at the same time. If he dares to hurt my soldiers, I will use his skull as a wine bowl!" the Skeleton Prince ordered.

"Yes, Your Highness." The Dark Knight received the order and walked out of the skeleton carriage.

It glanced at the distant city wall and revealed a disdainful smile.

The city wall was only six meters tall. It might be able to block ordinary Skeleton Soldiers, but to the Dark Knight who was at level 5, it was just a slightly higher slope.

"Ha!" the Dark Knight roared angrily and rushed toward the city wall.

It ran very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the bottom of the city wall. The Dark Knight accelerated and ran two steps, rushing toward the city wall.

One of its feet stepped on the city wall, ready to use the power of the charge to run up the city wall and kill the Priest with one sword.

However, just as it took two steps up, two hands stretched out from the city wall and grabbed its ankles.

At the same time, a few skulls stretched out with mouths, ready to bite the Skeleton Knight.

This was the effect of the Wall of Sighs.

After it was built, the dark creatures it encountered were too weak and had no chance to use it.

Now that it was finally used, it turned out to be a level 5 Dark Knight.

Caught off guard, the Dark Knight lost its balance and fell onto the city wall. It was dizzy from the fall.

A few skeletons rushed over to bite it, but they could not break the black armor on its body.

After all, the Dark Knight was a level 5 powerhouse. The level three Wall of Sighs might be able to ambush it, but it was still too difficult to kill it.

The Dark Knight was just caught off guard by the ambush. By the time it reacted, the Wall of Sighs would no longer be able to trap it.

The Dark Knight roared angrily, and green flames burned on its body.

The skulls and skeletal arms seemed to have met their natural enemy, and all of them retreated.

This was the Dark Knight's signature skill, Dark Fire.

It could summon the Dark Fire from Hell and attach it to its entire body, increasing its damage.

The Dark Knight returned to the ground and looked at the city wall angrily.

"Ha!" it shouted loudly and drew out the two-handed greatsword on its back. It stabbed into the city wall, forming a springboard.

The Dark Knight leaped and jumped onto the two-handed greatsword. Then, it leaped into the air again.

The Dark Knight pulled out the second two-handed greatsword from his back in the air and slashed downwards with the momentum of Mount Tai.

The target of his slash was Thomas.

There was nothing he could do. The appearance of the Commandment Priest was too similar to that of a Heavy-Armored Soldier. That huge tower shield made the Dark Knight directly ignore him.

As for Thomas, although he was also wearing light armor, he was covered by a cloak and held a scepter in his hand. He looked more like a Priest.

"You actually dare to hurt Sir Thomas? You're courting death!" Arnold, the Commandment Priest, who was at the side, saw the Dark Knight charging over. His eyes widened, and the huge tower shield in his hand was raised horizontally, blocking in front of Thomas.

Dang!

With a loud sound, the Dark Knight's double-handed heavy sword hacked onto Arnold's tower shield.

Seeing that Arnold actually dared to use the tower shield to block its double-handed heavy sword, the Dark Knight revealed a cruel smile on its face.

There had been countless heavy soldiers who wanted to use the tower shield to block it, but the Heavy-Armored Soldier was only a level 3 Warrior.

And it was a level 5 Dark Knight. Any Heavy-Armored Soldier who dared to block it would be cut into two without exception.

The Dark Knight couldn't wait to see Arnold cut into two.

Only human blood could excite it.

However, something unexpected happened.

The huge tower shield firmly blocked the double-handed heavy sword. Not to mention being cut in half, there was not even a trace of a sword mark.

"What's going on?" The Dark Knight turned pale with fright, "How can a mere Heavy-Armored Soldier block my attack?"

It did not believe it and raised the double-handed heavy sword in its hand, slashing down at Arnold once again.

Moreover, this time, it specially added Dark Fire on the double-handed greatsword, increasing the offensive power of the double-handed greatsword.

Seeing this, Arnold laughed loudly.

"Disperse!" Arnold pointed the scepter in his hand at the Dark Knight, and a white light enveloped the Dark Knight's body.

The Dark Fire that enveloped it was extinguished.
