Chapter 279. Avenger (1)
Death Knights surged in from every direction. Hidden between houses, dark mages hurled spells without pause.
Boom!
A fireball drenched in dark mana hurtled toward Caron. Acid rain poured relentlessly from the skies, and the ground twisted upward, trying to ensnare his feet.
But Caron didn't flinch. He swung his sword without hesitation.
"Let there be light!" Saintess Seria shouted.
A miracle blazed forth from her hands. The radiant light parted the dark clouds and poured down upon the land, washing away the dark mana tainting the earth.
Flash!
Caron stepped onto the light-drenched soil. The radiant light clung to his black armor, and as it shimmered, it cast an almost terrifying brilliance.
Screech!
The leading Death Knights let out eerie metallic howls as they raised their swords. Dark auras burst from their blades as they tried to slice Caron's neck—but Caron moved effortlessly, sweeping his sword in an arc that conjured waves and flower petals.
Those petals spun atop the waves, forming a resilient shield of dark blue energy. The shield repelled the Death Knights' deadly strikes as if it had been waiting for them.
Clang!
