Chapter 534 The Battle
"Boss. It's time for us to go." Baldy said.
"Yeah... We have to get it done before they can get ready." The Knight of the Bloody Rose nodded as he waved his hand.
The prickly vines headed toward him and gradually transformed into dark armor with the bloody rose symbol.
"Let's go." The Knight of the Bloody Rose said with a serious look and headed for the exit.
"Well, well, finally, we'll all be fighting together again. I've missed you already." Lucian muttered as a slight smile appeared on his face.
"Let's hurry up and finish work so I can get some sleep." Meria muttered as she tossed an apple into the basket on the table.
Whooooooooosh.
Several shadows headed toward the east gate. By the time they got there, it was already sunset, so there wasn't much time before darkness fell.
It was no problem for Knight of the Bloody Rose and the others to leave the city and head for the Dark Lizards' camp.
"Brother. Why do you think the Dark Lizards are back?" Cecilia asked as she jumped from one tree to another.
"It doesn't matter. They must die, they have made the worst mistake, so falling from my blade is their only fate." The Knight of the Bloody Rose muttered as he clenched his teeth.
They moved through the forest thicket for some time, and when a bright fire from a campfire appeared in the distance, they stopped.
"Boss. We're here." Lucian said while looking at the group of people ahead.
Next to the massive bonfire were many people in black robes and wolves that were walking around near the tents as if trying to find something.
"Great. We start right now, don't let anyone go, we'll kill them. Then, together with the Royal Blades, we will destroy the main camp of the Dark Lizards." Knight of the Bloody Rose said as he jumped forward.
"Eh, I hope this ends at some point." Meria muttered with a sad look, "The hatred and desire for revenge has completely consumed him... I want to see the old him..."
"No need to think about it. We must help him now, as we always have." Baldy muttered before bursting into action.
Whoooooosh.
The Knight of the Bloody Rose swung his sword and created a bloody blade that threw Dark Lizards members aside.
"We are under attack!" One of them shouted as a massive shadow appeared behind him.
"You shouldn't be so noisy." The bald man said in a calm voice as he grabbed the man's head and plunged him into the ground with a sharp movement.
The Dark Lizards members were baffled by this sudden attack, but they were experienced fighters that had been through dozens of battles in their lives, so they were quickly able to adapt to the situation and counterattack.
"Knights, I don't know why you came here, but this was your fatal mistake!" A man with a thick black beard uttered as he attacked.
Along with him, four more men headed toward the Knight of the Bloody Rose, moving in sync. Their swords were covered in darkness as they simultaneously attacked, raining the Knight of the Bloody Rose with a hail of blades of darkness.
However, the Knight of the Bloody Rose didn't duck, there was someone in his team who knew how to fend off such attacks.
Whooooosh.
In front of him appeared Meria, that with a calm look, raised her hand up. The ground trembled as a wall of blood appeared in front of her that completely swallowed up all the blades.
"That's not all!" The bearded man exclaimed as he went around Meria and attacked the Knight of the Bloody Rose.
Lucian jumped forward, stopped the sword with two fingers, and said, "No. We're almost done."
Then Lucian turned and, with all his might, kicked the man in the chest. The man vomited a mouthful of blood as the impact threw him aside, so he crashed into a tree.
"Bastard... I'll get you for sure!" The man shouted with a furious voice while trying to get up, but he couldn't do it because the wound was too severe.
"What? Is he still alive? Lucian, have you really decided to take pity on him?" Meria asked in a dazed voice.
"No... I hit with full force... It should have been enough to break his rib cage into many pieces... Why can he still stand on his feet?" Lucian muttered with a confused look since he was fully confident in his abilities.
"There's something wrong here..." Knight of the Bloody Rose muttered, "Look, they're all wounded, but no one died, as if something is protecting them... Moreover, the wolves still haven't attacked us, though they should definitely protect their masters."
"Brother, what is it!" Cecilia exclaimed before pointing at the bearded man's chest.
The place Lucian hit was protected by a purple barrier that absorbed most of the blow, so the man only got a recoil out of it.
"Isn't that..." Lucian muttered.
"Shit! We got caught in a trap!" Meria exclaimed.
"Exactly." Suddenly a mysterious voice sounded.
At the same time, a barrier with many ancient purple runs appeared around the camp. The Knight of the Bloody Rose immediately threw a bloody blade at it, but not even a crack appeared on the barrier.
'Huh, looks like things are getting interesting.' Wain said to himself as a smile appeared on his face, 'They decided to attack but ended up trapped themselves, but... is that really the case?'
"Well, well, I didn't expect you to be so easily led here, but it's even better." Once again, there was a mysterious voice as someone appeared in front of the fire.
It was a tall man with long black hair and ruby eyes. He wore a dark robe with a picture of a purple lizard that devoured an apple.
He lit a cigarette against the fire, took a puff, and said, "So... Where do we start? Are we going to fight to the death or talk?"
"Talk? You Dark Lizards killed my beloved! The only fate for you is death!" The Knight of the Bloody Rose shouted as his sword was covered in blood.
"Are you sure about that?" The man blew out a puff of smoke with a careless look, "Think about it. You probably didn't see your girlfriend die, did you?"
"What...?
