Chapter 1016: Violence

Of course, the biggest reason why the crossbow attack succeeded was because of the battle cry of those 2 elite Barbarians. Their sacrifice dropped the knights’ defense by 88%, which allowed the arrows to penetrate their armor and kill them.

There were a few powerful ones who managed to survive, but things did not stop there.

The giant rocks had yet to come. Although the elite holy knights could counteract it in their top condition with the support of their formation, their formation was on the verge of breaking down. The charge had drained too much energy from them, and they were affected by the battery, so they could only helplessly lift their shields again.

The rock made holes on the ground. Blood gushed out from all directions. The dead bodies of the knights were no longer recognizable, and the rocks continued to roll on the ground.

Mad knight Mead roared. There were only around a hundred knights left in his formation.

They were no longer at an advantage. If this continued, they would only get worn out by the Barbarians.

“All the rank 19 and above holy knights, gather!” He yelled.

All 10 knight formations were badly hit as they returned to Mad knight Mead. After all, he was the commander of this mission. His words were the word of god.

As long as the god did not give up on mad knight Mead, all the knights could not disobey him.

Soon, a new formation was formed around him with 9 mad knights by his side and 80 rank 19 knights following.

“My lord, the knights need the blessing of your energy. Please help us wipe out our enemies!” mad knight Mead took out a golden crystal from his waist. It was given to him by the temple. As soon as he used it, he would be punished regardless of the success of their mission.

However, he knew he had no choice. All he wanted was to get the sacred totem pole and retreat, but his knight formation could not achieve its full potential with so many mad Barbarians.

A knight formation could distribute an attack. Without it, a single mad Barbarian might be able to take down a rank 21 mad knight and badly injured a more powerful one.

Their mission would definitely fail if that happened, so he needed his formation.

A golden flash emerged from the crystal and engulfed the knights.

“Glory to the lord! Charge!” Mad knight Mead yelled when he saw the golden energy surrounded him.

Another crimson red Barbarian jumped forward with a jumping attack technique, but this time it was blocked by the golden glow.

He roared and self-destructed, but the golden shield barely budged.

“The power of my lord is not something you can move!” Mad knight Mead charged at full speed. He swung his sword, and the giant rock in front of him blasted open effortlessly.

There were many disadvantages to the Barbarian profession. They didn’t have many long-range attacks, and they had limited fighting techniques. Unless they entered a state of madness, there was not much they could do in battle.

They might not even be able to hold down a normal knight formation. Just the Holy Freeze aura alone might freeze them to death.

However, this was not the reason why the wizard union suppressed them. It was because they lacked elemental attacks, so they almost couldn’t do anything to a wizard.

When the knights’ crystal unleashed the energy of God, the table suddenly turned.

Mad knight Mead’s formation kept charging forward. Hundreds of mad Barbarians dashed forward, but they were all helpless in breaking that golden shield.

Mad knight Mead grew desperate. The golden shield made from their God’s energy was impenetrable, but it had a time limit, especially under so many vicious suicidal attacks.

Since those knights no longer needed to worry about defense, they unleashed the energy aura and turned their charge to the highest level.

Since the weakest knight in the formation was still rank 19, they could go much faster.

The leftover knights lost their will to battle. They lost their leader, and their formation was in chaos.

They were driven to insanity on the verge of death. They began to sing and go all out with any approaching Barbarian.

If they didn’t kill, they would be killed, and the process repeated itself.

It was a Barbarian city, so there were much more Barbarians than knights. It was a bloody battle with both sides taking zero consideration for their lives.

Barbarian Ruin lived on the other side of the city. By the time he arrived at the battlefield, the battle had already reached climax.

His gaze turned towards the furthest side of the city. Around 40 holy knights held up their shields, trying to counteract the attacks of Barbarians.

Since there were no mad knights around, their holy freeze and holy charge aura could not kill the Barbarians instantly.

The Barbarians no longer needed to go mad and sacrifice their lives to approach the knights.

If they had a choice, even the fearless Barbarians would not go mad for no reason. They knew it was just a matter of time until the leftover knights got worn out.

Barbarian Ruin held up his double ax. He did not use any techniques. Instead, he boosted his body to top condition with a roar and ‘battle mode.’

Imagery of the hurricane (damaged) skill which Abel taught him flashed in his mind. He did not tell his headmaster about this since he returned. Not because he didn’t want to, but he had to master it first to show its true power.

During this time, he had been practicing the skill day and night, and he has been waiting for an opportunity to use it.

Abel deeply analyzed this skill. As long as a close-range fighter was not too untalented, they should be able to do it.

Barbarian Ruin spent a long time just to grasp the first step of the Hurricane (damaged), but he had done so successfully nevertheless. Therefore, the first thing that came into his mind when he saw those knights was not the traditional Barbarian skills, but the hurricane (damaged).

After he increased his defense to the maximum, he charged into the holy freeze aura.

When a holy knight was about to do a shield strike on him, he did something, unlike any Barbarian.

That holy knight was an elite holy knight, so he was extremely familiar with any spells and skills in the Central Continent.

What Barbarian Ruin did completely caught him by surprise.

After countless years of development, the skills of every profession were set in stone. Although some extremely rare genius might put an interesting spin on a skill, creating an entirely new skill was impossible.

What Barbarian Ruin did was unlike anything in a Barbarian’s elite skill. The Holy knight was sure of that.

With a gentle twist, Barbarian Ruin’s ax landed on the shield of that Elite Holy knight.

Barbarian Ruin sensed the great rebound, but he did not stop spinning. Instead, he absorbed the force and transferred it into his right ax, adding to his spinning speed.

He saw the shield strike pattern flying towards him, and he knew he would be knocked out once he was hit.

All of a sudden, he retracted his power of will and energy as his body kept spinning.

Since only recognized Barbarian skills could unleash the Barbarian energy, a strange wave carried the shield strike pattern away from Barbarian Ruin.

He didn’t think too much as he followed through with another strike with his right ax instinctively. It landed on another holy knight, but this time it was clearly more powerful.

That Holy knight counteracted with a ‘sacrifice’ attack. Dong! But it only made Barbarian Ruin spin faster.

2 Barbarians were about to attack, but they were immediately stunned by what Barbarian Ruin was doing.

Although the defense of those knights dropped because of the battlecry, a single elite Barbarian still couldn’t go up against them.

“That’s a top level skill, the hurricane!” A Barbarian gasped.

He knew Barbarian ruin was an elite Barbarian. How could he use a mad Barbarian warrior’s skill?

“It doesn’t really look like it!” The other Barbarian shook his head.

They could no longer see Barbarian Ruin’s body. They could only hear sounds of weapons colliding.

At first, the knights still stood a chance, but after 5 to 6 strikes, Barbarian Ruin’s was no longer something they could withstand.

A hurricane emerged around Barbarian Ruin. The knights wanted to slow him down with the Holy Freeze, but Barbarian Ruin was no longer moving with his own energy, and all elemental and patterned attacks were carried away by the wind.

The real hurricane skill would not be affected by any knockout or knock-back attacks as soon as it was unleashed, but Abel’s Hurricane (damaged) could only achieve the same once the skill was in full swing. This was because it lacked the fundamental Barbarian energy.

However, because of this, Barbarian Ruin had spare energy to carry those pattern attacks away.
