Chapter 413 Shield Attack

Wizard Cliff didn’t know what lance the spiritual guardian knight captain was holding, but he knew that it must be some sort of magical weapon. He was facing Abel, after all. There was no such thing as “too careful” when fighting against a grandmaster blacksmith.

There was a white flame ball and Johnson’s giant blade. If Wizard Cliff tried to escape from the spiritual guardian knight’s lance, he would have to take even more hits than he could. He had to run, but how?

Run. That’s all Wizard Cliff could think of. As long as he could run away, he could always find different ways to get revenge on Abel. In a very short span of time, his thoughts went from fighting Abel on his own, making an escape, taking down his summoned creatures, and now, it was to make an escape to regroup with the people he knew.

When Wizard Cliff was moving with his “instantaneous movement” spell, he didn’t notice that the spiritual guardian knight was luring him in a very specific direction. He was too busy trying to run-that, and turning on all the defensive mechanisms that he had on him. Fortunately for him, the mana he spent on “instantaneous movement” could always be recovered in a few seconds. If he wanted to, he could move at a super-fast speed for multiple days.

For every “instantaneous movement” Wizard Cliff cast, he could move at about 200 meters of distance. As for the spiritual guardian knight captain, it could only move at 100 meters per time. Unknown to Wizard Cliff. However, it was already changing to its Harry Bow for a long-distance attack.

Flying Flame was also flying very fast to make a chase. It didn’t go at full speed, though. It knew how hard it was to kill Wizard Cliff. Once he was to hide inside a city, it’d be very hard for it to launch any attacks. The super defensive circle was not something that a dragon could breakthrough. For now, it was for the best that it listened to Abel’s orders.

Johnson was the slowest one out of them all. It had turned itself into a gigantic metal ball, and it rolled towards Wizard Cliff. All the rocks and trees that were in its way were all trampled and turned into ruins.

Wizard Cliff was more scared than ever. He kept on throwing whatever magic scrolls at the enemies chasing after him. It was not the time for him to save up his resources. As long as he could reach Denan City, he would be able to regroup with two of his fellow advanced wizards. By that point, he would be safe from trouble.

Apart from Flying Flame, Wizard Cliff was sure that he could kill Abel’s other summoned creatures. Johnson might be resilient against spell attacks, but it could not guard against two types of elements at the same time. As for the spiritual guardian knight, while it was very easy to shoot it down with a lightning attack, it could always make an easy escape with its insanely-fast speed.

It wasn’t like Flying Flame was completely safe, either. Once it flew anywhere close to a city, it would be under the attacks of the giant ballistas from the city guards.

And that’s what wizards were like. Even in the most dangerous of times, they would always process their surroundings in a very precise and efficient way. Right now, Wizard Cliff was moving towards land that had a lot of tracks from the cows and sheep that went past there. There were a lot of animal feces there, so he thought that he would move to a spot that was cleaner.

It didn’t take him much time to do so. Without giving it a second thought, Wizard Cliff teleported himself to a spot that was engraved with a wheel of the chariot.

That’s exactly where Abel was standing. Abel was playing psychological tricks on Wizard Cliff. He was luring him to come there. Right now, under the camouflage of the invisibility hoodie, he had the small crescent shield and the Jade of Tan Do in either of his hands. He didn’t think that his wizard spells would do much to a rank 16 Wizard Cliff, so he decided that he would only use his knight’s fighting techniques.

Then, as his “shield attack” unleashed, the invisibility hoodie suddenly lost its effect. Wizard Cliff was surprised to find Abel at his location. He used up an “instantaneous movement” spell just then. Since it took about 0.5 seconds to recharge, the shield made its way to his body without failure.

For a very brief movement, Wizard Cliff thought that it was weird that Abel was attacking with a shield. It wasn’t like a shield could break through his multiple layers of defense. Right now, he was wearing the “energy shield,” which could absorb most of the attack into mana that could be used at his expense. He also had two passive magic items, so technically, it didn’t matter what kind of physical attacks Abel threw at him.

Next thing he knew, the small crescent shield changed course and slammed towards one of Wizard Cliff’s barrier shields. Wizard Cliff sneered at this. He thought that Abel was underestimating him. That wasn’t the case, however. While the barrier shield did block the shield, it didn’t stop the white light that was passing through it.

As Wizard Cliff started to feel faint, he realized that something was wrong. He was fainting from a level four “shield attack’s” stunning effect. He was going to be immobilized for 1.2 seconds, and it was more than enough for Abel to prepare his next attack. The golden combat qi started filling up the Jade of Tan Do in Abel’s right hand. It also combined with the dark-golden combat qi thread. Then, the power of dimension in Abel’s spirit started coming out. The whole process took him one second.

Abel was about to play his trump card. Wizard Cliff had thought that it was Flying Flame, but it was actually something that was much worse.

When Abel slashed his Jade of Tan Do towards Wizard Cliff’s barrier shield. It was like cutting through butter. Without the time to respond, two of his barrier shields slashed open.

That’s when the 1.2-second limit came. Wizard Cliff was starting to regain consciousness. As soon as he did, he cast an “instantaneous movement” spell to run away.

Something felt weird for him, though. His brain was thinking about running away. His legs were responding to that, but his upper body was staying at the same spot.
