Chapter 152: Battle

Exodus Tales Exodus Tales

When wolf rider captain of Flaurling was retreating, Abel screamed, “Knight Acceleration.” This was a secret technique of the Bennett family. Although he rarely had the chance to use it, it was useful to sacrifice his combat qi for speed when facing a much faster and flexible worgen. With the use of this secret technique, Abel’s body immediately felt lighter as his pace had instantly doubled. However, using this technique had consumed 1/10 of his combat qi within his body. This was a substantial amount as Abel’s combat qi store was a few times larger than an ordinary knight. This meant if an ordinary knight ere to use this technique, it would have consumed half of the combat qi that was on their body.

With the increasing speed of his acceleration, Abel waved his ice magic sword and prepared the standard knight’s melee tactics. Abel continuously sliced, stir, stab and wipe, but the wolf rider of Flaurling was very experienced with these knight tactics. The opportunity was lost the moment he retreated. Afterward, The wolf rider captain used its battle-ax to constantly repel Abel’s attacks one by one while continuing to retreat slowly.

“Golden combat qi and holy combat qi seems like it can’t help you,” shouted wolf rider captain of Flaurling, as he slowly drew back. At that moment, his battle-ax was already covered entirely with frost.

As the two weapons collided with one another multiple times, the frost on the ice magic sword had finally burst out, as wolf rider captain of Flaurling’s body was covered entirely with frost. When Abel was about advance his attacks, wolf rider captain of Flaurling gave a loud howl, and a full body of combat qi armor emerged in a flash, sending all the frost flying out of his body.

At that moment, wolf rider captain Woolf finally understood why an intermediate knight like Abel was able to compete with him in terms of strength. Other than Abel’s massive power, he also had something known as “holy combat qi,” which would allow him to attain 4x the combat qi he had. Throughout history, anyone with this kind of golden combat qi could often hold battle with an opponent who was a rank above them, and those who could hold a struggle with an opponent who was two ranks above them was indeed a rare gem.

Followed by wolf rider captain of Flaurling’s second howl, his combat qi suddenly extended outward, like a whip that was striking towards Abel.

It seemed that wolf rider captain of Flaurling had never used up all of his strength since the beginning of the battle. This was because the iconic combat qi armor and the combat qi aggression of the wolf rider weren’t used until now. However, with the appearance of the combat qi armor and the combat qi whip, now it seemed that wolf rider captain of Flaurling was using all of his might to engage in this battle against Abel.

The combat qi whip was very agile and flexible. Even if Abel was using his “Knight acceleration” ability, he was still unable to dodge some of the sharp attacks from the combat qi whip. With the current situation on his hands, it seemed that the only way Abel could win this battle was if he had used magic spells. But Abel’s mana inside him wasn’t filled up, as his mana was only enough for him to cast two times of “Ice armor” and “Firebomb” before running out of mana.

Abel was blaming himself to the heart for not refilling of his mana before departing the city, Abel knew he had to use magic now, but how could he defeat his opponent with the amount of mana he had.

“Elves of the ice! Use your divine power, weave pure white armor, and protect me!” As Abel chanted the ‘frozen armor’ spell and drew the pattern of the spell in the air with his ice magic sword. After a second and a half, armor made of ice crystals had appeared on Abel’s body.

As soon as the captain of Flaurling heard Abel casting a spell, he was stunned. He knew that the blacksmith master in front of him had only been inside the magic tower for four months. So how was he able to use magic already?

Wolf rider captain of Flaurling’s sudden shock gave Abel time to finish up his magic spell. Now with the protection of the ice armor, the combat qi whip would not cause any damage to Abel until the armor has fully shattered.

As Abel completely ignored his defenses, he began to attack wolf rider captain of Flaurling with all of his might. Without mercy, Abel continuously cuts through the air from time to time with his magic sword. For captain Woolf, he was also very confident in his combat qi armor. Like Abel, he ignored his defenses and even attacked with his full might.

The two masters were fighting like barbarians.

The majestic forms and techniques from the start had disappeared entirely, and replaced with an even more vicious and dangerous head-on head battle. The sounds of clashing filled the battlefield. It was the sound to wolf rider captain of Flaurling combat qi whip striking upon Abel’s ‘frozen armor.’ The sound of ‘shi.. shi” could also be heard, which was the sound of Abel’s ice magic sword colliding with wolf rider captain of Flaurling’s combat qi armour. The frost continued to engulf the body of wolf rider captain of Flaurling. However, it was soon harshly expelled by his combat qi armor.

By this time, wolf rider captain of Flaurling was no longer dared to attack Abel’s ‘frozen armor with his weapon directly. He knew the spell quite well, and if he did attack the helmet, he would’ve been frozen regardless of his combat qi armor. This was one of the reasons that made these wizards terrifying to face.

After more than a minute of this unaesthetic fighting, Abel felt his ice armor was beginning to crumble, so he quickly backed away. As he did so, he swung his ice magic sword in front of him, and his mouth began chanting, “The spirit of ice! Use your divine power, weave pure white armor, protect me!”

How could wolf rider captain of Flaurling miss such an excellent opportunity to allow time for Abel to cast his “Frozen Armour” spell again? Although it took Abel 1.5 seconds to throw the “Ice armor” spell, in Elite level battles like these, 0.5 seconds was already considered as a very long time.

Wolf rider captain Woolf then began to rush forward, closing in on Abel with all his might. His combat qi whip increased the intensity of his attacks, trying to disrupt Abel from casting his second “frozen armor” spell.

Abel had put so much effort in front of him. Wasn’t it because that he wanted to keep wolf rider captain of Flaurling at a close distance?

The ice magic sword stopped in the air, and so did the spell Abel had spoken, all of which indicated that the spell ‘frozen armor’ had been successfully interrupted by wolf rider captain of Flaurling.

Wolf rider captain of Flaurling was relieved, without the protection of the ‘Ice armor,” it would be difficult for Abel to withstand his whip attacks. Even if he had stepped up to his melee attacks, there would be no chance for Abel to cast his spells again.

At the moment when the wolf rider captain of Flaurling began to be more relaxed, a complete picture flashed out in front of the ice magic sword in Abel’s hand. It looked as if it had been printed directly in the air. Then the picture turned into a fireball and flew straight towards captain Woolf.

When the unsuspecting wolf rider captain of Flaurling saw the fireball coming at him, he was shocked. This casting speed was too instantaneous to even think about it, and now it was too late to avoid it.

If it were a typical “Firebomb” spell, it wouldn’t have been able to smash open a wolf rider’s combat qi armor. But Abel’s “Firebomb” was no ordinary spell. It was already an Elite level 7’s ‘Firebomb’ spell. Captain had underestimated its’ power as the firebomb tore apart his combat qi armor like a piece of thin paper.

Abel had witnessed the power of his ‘firebomb’ many times in the Rogue encampment, but only to those creatures from hell with scary defensive power. After wolf rider captain of Flaurling’s combat qi armor had been torn in front of him, the ‘firebomb’ penetrate his body immediately. In a sound of “bang,” wolf rider captain of Flaurling had been sent flying.

Abel did not stop there, as he cast a second fireball that followed the flying body of the captain Woolf and struck him again in the air.

Abel was not confident to attack a wolf rider captain in the mid-range. No matter if it’s the ‘firebomb’ or other spells, it required a bit of time to draw the magic pattern in order to be executed. Worgens were natural very speedy. If Abel had used the ‘firebomb’ from the start, it could easily be dodged by wolf rider captain of Flaurling. Therefore, Abel tried to get the captain of Flaurling to some long-distance attack first, and only burn him to death when he got exhausted.

Of course, this was only because Abel’s rank was too low. If he were an official wizard, he would be able to lock in his power of the will, which would make his opponent very difficult to escape the spell, no matter how fast they were.

As wolf rider captain of Flaurling fell onto the ground from the air with a “Bang” sound, Abel felt as if the wolf rider was a candle in the wind, on his last gasp.

“If I had my mount wolf around, It wouldn’t have ended like this!” Came the faint voice of wolf rider captain of Flaurling.
