Chapter 454: Volume 9: Phantom of the Ancient Castle - 10: Counterattack_2
Balmore, while chasing after two shadows zipping through the encirclement of his own camp like lightning, clearly realized that these two figures far exceeded his and Baron Haranto’s strength. The shadows split and joined back swiftly, and almost every lunge resulted in the death of two or three high-level warriors beneath their spears. These were the elite of his army, each capable of serving as a Centurion or higher, yet the line formed of these martially adept high-level warriors might as well have been made of paper in front of the two shadows.
Solonberg was growing increasingly impatient. These damned warriors had surprisingly tenacious strength and fearless spirits, which he and Vladimir Koff found astonishing, but that did not stop their combined attack.
However, killing the opponent with their speed advantage was too slow a process. The two enemies at their rear, despite being unable to pose a substantial threat, never gave up their pursuit, doggedly tailing them like shadows, seemingly waiting for the moment the two of them were exhausted to deliver the final blow—a naïve thought.
Exchanging a glance with Vladimir Koff who passed by, the two of them almost simultaneously soared into the sky, leaving the two pursuing enemies suddenly exposed in front of them. Having switched positions, Solonberg and Vladimir Koff struck decisively at the same moment. The tips of their Knight Spears erupted with a dark glow so intense it made one’s pupils contract.
Baron Haranto’s heart sank abruptly. Just by the burst of dark light at the tip of the opponent’s Knight Spear, he knew the extent of power unleashed, but there was no turning back. Gritting his teeth, he raised his Knight Spear to meet the onslaught.
The clash of the two Knight Spears sent Baron Haranto spinning out like a severed kite; despite his best effort to maintain his posture in mid-air, the severe damage inflicted by the strike rendered him incapable. Fortunately, several soldiers immediately caught the Baron, collectively cushioning him. The immense impact caused three of the soldiers who caught him to immediately cough up blood and collapse, but this at least saved the Baron’s life.
