Chapter 13: Chapter 9 Intense Battle_1
“Boom!!”
The spear and the war hammer clashed together, the resulting sound echoed, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Duanmu Huai, holding his war hammer, stood his ground. But the Chaos Knight shook and was forced to step back on horseback. However, he didn’t retreat but instead spurred his horse onward and with a sudden kick of his front hooves, the horse aimed for Duanmu Huai!
“Humph!!”
Facing the horse’s trampling, Duanmu Huai scoffed. Instead of retreating, he charged forward, colliding with the horse and throwing it off balance. The horse lost its balance, let out a neigh, and fell backward. Then Duanmu Huai’s war hammer whizzed past, breaking the horse’s neck at a ninety-degree angle—it was clearly past saving.
“Phew!!”
The Chaos Knight was no easy opponent either. The instant his horse lost balance, he leaped into the air, thrusting his spear straight at Duanmu Huai. At the same time, Duanmu Huai kicked hard against the horse’s carcass, hurling it towards the Chaos Knight, blocking his attack.
The heavy carcass of the horse collapsed to the ground with a thud, and for a moment, silence once again engulfed the battlefield.
Duanmu Huai and the Chaos Knight stared each other down until the Chaos knight let out a fierce roar, his eyes instantly glowing with a brilliant red light.
Berserk!
As for the Chaos Knight’s Berserk Skills, Duanmu Huai felt no surprise. Every follower of the Brutal God had this move, it was a basic entry-level skill. Like all priests could use Holy Light. If a follower of the Brutal God did not possess Berserk Skills, they were surely fakes.
Of course, going berserk would increase the opponent’s strength, but… Duanmu Huai wasn’t fighting alone!
As the Chaos knight lunged at him again, Duanmu Huai dodged and brandished his war hammer, charging forward. Simultaneously, several puppets appeared beside him, their swords slashing towards the Chaos Knight.
The puppets’ attacks were not strong enough to kill the Chaos Knight but could cause him some trouble. Seeing the puppets lunging towards him, the berserk Chaos Knight did not hesitate and swept his spear, destroying Duanmu Huai’s summoned puppets. He thrust his spear forward again, but Duanmu Huai responded with a fierce swing of his war hammer, smashing it down onto the spear, pinning it to the ground.
After missing his first strike, the Chaos Knight surprisingly let go of his spear, clenched his fist, and punched Duanmu Huai, landing his blow on his Power Armor. The impact slightly shook Duanmu Huai’s armor. He staggered a bit, but quickly took advantage of the moment. The Chaos Knight grabbed his spear again and rushed at him, but Duanmu Huai held his war hammer in front of him, defending against the Chaos Knight’s renewed assault.
“Zzzzz——————!!”
Both sides were locked in a stalemate for a moment. The Chaos Knight, panting heavily, growled and pressed forward. Duanmu Huai, however, stood his ground, blocking the Chaos Knight’s advance. Then, he suddenly extended his left hand, aiming it at the Chaos Knight.
“Bang!!!”
Accompanied by a blast of fire from the launcher on Duanmu Huai’s left hand armor, the Chaos Knight staggered backward, as if hit by a powerful blow, his armor shattered in places. The sudden turn of events shocked the Chaos Knight, but before he could react, he felt a severe pain in his knee. He lost control and fell to the ground. Next, all he could see was an endless shadow of darkness, completely engulfing him…
“Splurt.”
The heavy, robust Power Hammer crushed the Chaos Knight’s skull and helmet into a pile of bloody, broken flesh.
“Whew……….”
Duanmu Huai let out a sigh of relief, picked up his hammer, and turned his head to look ahead. At this moment, a timid Elisa peeked her head out and looked anxiously at Duanmu Huai.
“Sir Black Knight, is it over?”
“No.”
Duanmu Huai shook his head.
“The real fight’s about to start.”
As Duanmu Huai spoke, a large, ferocious man emerged from the dust and sand. He was just as tall as Duanmu Huai in his Power Armor. His hair was braided into small ponytails, a battle-axe in one hand, and a silver shield in the other. His face, framed by a big beard, looked fierce and tough, giving off an intimidating aura.
[Brutal Fanatic (Elite)]
[LV30]
Yeah, he indeed looked quite formidable.
“You’re impressively strong, warrior.”
Looking at the fallen comrade in front of Duanmu Huai, the man started speaking casually, seemingly apathetic about his comrade’s demise.
“Strong, ruthless, cruel, these are the attributes my God requires of his followers. To spread His doctrine. There’s still time, hand over the offering, become my God’s follower, and thus……”
“Boom!!”
But before the man could finish his speech, Duanmu Huai abruptly raised his left hand, firing another shot. The man’s reflexes were quick, raising his silver shield almost instantaneously to block Duanmu Huai’s attack.
“Well done!”
Once the smoke cleared, the man moved his shield away, his face turning deathly pale.
“In that case, I will offer your head to the Skull Throne!”
As soon as his words ended, the fanatic ceremoniously banged the shield. Suddenly, a fiery red flame portal appeared before him, and a large group of demons stepped out from it. They had goat-like hooves; their bodies were bright red, with elongated, alien-like heads crowned by long horns; they all tightly clutched a black greatsword in their hands.
