The Ruined Death Knight

Chapter 88 - Acting To The Ground

The men rushing towards Danzel came to a halt when they saw one of their friends having almost half body cut in half.

The previous confidence that they had built up from having more numbers started soon to fade away and be replaced by fear.

"H-He must be from the 2nd-tier!"

"For him to use such a powerful ability too should make him of a high-end 2nd-tier!"

"We can't..."

Just as the cloth mask people started to have thoughts of retreat, they heard a voice from behind them.

"Mana head my call and aim at my enemy [Magic Missile]!"

The man that was casting raised this staff to the air with one hand, three balls of mana appeared beside him.

And soon enough to three balls flew towards Danzel with similar speed as him.

Looking at the incoming blue balls Danzel didn't plan to stay and see what the balls have to offer.

'By the speed and the fact that he used casting magic to create it should have some punch.'

Though the balls had a similar speed with him, their path was very clear in Danzels eyes.

The moment the balls flew towards him he immediately run to the side towards the cloth masked people.

But unlike his expectations, the three balls of mana suddenly changed their direction towards Danzel.

Looking at this phenomenon Danzel was shocked.

'Serious!? Homing missiles!?' Danzel cursed at his little understanding of magic.

"Can't dodge them all..."

Realizing that he no longer could dodge the incoming missiles, he turned around to face the three missiles.

Swinging the Veren sword at the first missile, a huge pressure came from the ball.

Though the missile was cut in half and the mana in it had dissipated in the air. The power alone pushed Veren away and almost throw him off.

"This is..." Before Danzel could finish his sentence the two other missiles came shortly after him.

*Bnigh!

*Bnigh!

With no other choice, he had to bring out this shield and block against the next missile.

Unfortunately for him, history repeated itself and the second missile pushed his shield away, leaving his back open to welcome the third missile.

And the men who saw this broke into jeers.

"As expected of a 2nd-tied mage! The overseer is indeed powerful."

The overseer who was bathing in praise of his colleagues didn't felt must happy from the result.

'Not only did he block two of those, but received one as well. And he is still alive?'

The man's frown didn't go unnoticed by the other magic caster.

"What are you still standing there! Don't you see that he is still alive! Move you a*se and capture him already.

'By the looks of it he is done for, but taking it more serious wouldn't hurt...' He sneered at the dark plate armored guy who wasn't able to stand up.

The cloth masked mask notice the shaking of the dark knight who a few seconds ago were so scared of.

"Hehe, you dare to come in here and create such a fuss? I will kill!"

"Let's remove his armor and beat him up! I bet both him and the armor would fetch some good coins"

"Hey, since when we're you into that kind of stuff? There way more pretty boys to one of the filth cages anyway."

"You..."

"Hahaha!"

Unknown to them who were laughing at someone's fetish with their confidence back.

The one who was shaking to the ground looked at them with these ethereal green eyes.

'Idiots.'

Danzel had to admit that the missile was way more powerful than he had expected but to bring him to the point where he couldn't stand up was not.

Ignoring the fact that as an undead he wasn't able to feel pain, the armor that Gerak crafted him wasn't just for show.

His shaking body was just an act to let those guys come near enough to massacre them all!

Considering the rune that I carved into my helmet too, when my helmet faced down to the ground I was capable to look around 180 degrees around me without needing to move the position of the helmet by itself.

Thus, with my acting and the rune, I created the illusion of someone looking at the ground powerless while shaking from pain.

In a way, those ignorant fools were literally walking to their deaths.

'I have to wait until the very end, the faster I kill those guys the faster I will be able to reach those magic casters. I will never do the same mistake again...' Danzel swore while still staring at them nearing me.

Though it was around some months ago, the memory of being held by goblins and right after receiving a damn fireball head on was still vivid in his mind.

Biding this time, Danzel patiently waited while pretending to be badly hurt  .

10 meters...

5 meters...

3 meters...

"Hmm? Hey guys, don´t you find it weird that there is no blood or groans of pain from him?" One of the cloth men asked with a frown on his face.

`I guess that´s the limit...´ Seeing that I have been caught, I hesitated no longer.

[Sin of Wrath]: Activate

The dead mana inside of my body spiked up and engulfed my armor with dead mana. Newfound strength was slowly creeping inside of my body while the massed bloodlust found its way outside.

Feeling the sudden increase of blood lust from this knight together with mana they have never seen before the one magic caster who cast [Magic Missiles] cursed out loud.

"Dammit! I knew he was pretending, this damn rat! Hey! Cast with me!" 

Upon hearing this colleagues, his mind got cleared from the sudden blood loss that came from his knight.

`Right, we both are 2th-tier mages and he is purely a 2nd-knight. With all of us, we still got advanced.´

Or so he thought.

Compare to these two who were fifteen meters away from him, the cloth masked men had it much worse who was just three meters away from him.

Their faces immediately turned pale and a deep fear was crippling inside their hearts.

"Ahhh! Kill him! Kill him now!" One of the men screamed out loud, resulting in a chain reaction to all the others.

"Ahhh!"

All of them raised their swords ready to smash the dark knight while he was still to the ground out of desperation.

"Hehe..." Raising his one feet to the ground, he slashed diagonally to the one coming at him.

`[Gale Mana Blade]´ 

The Veren long sword soon ripped the men in front of his path with not even sparing the ones who were behind them that were killed by the massive air blade.

Without even being able to resist, half of them were cut to half with only a lucky one escaping the fate of his now colleagues.

"High!" Seeing the fate that his colleagues had faced in front of him, he imminently turned around and run away without looking back.

Though Danzel could probably kill him if he chased after him, he decided against it.

"Kill him!"

After all, why chase a dog when the whole pack is here?

"[Shiled Bash]!" Using one of the skills that I haven´t used for a long time, I bashed one of the man's faces and soon started my massacre.

Their number was reduced by the second, and it wasn´t long before I killed everyone single of the cloth masked people, excluding  the coward who escape.

Turning my attention to the two magic casters, I cursed to myself.

"Tch, I guess I was too slow..." 

Seeing the blue mana forming into the form of balls I knew that I was too late.

"Mana head my call and aim at my enemy [Magic Missile]"

"Mana head my call and aim at my enemy [Magic Missile]"

Looking at the six missiles forming up, I calmed myself down and raised my hand.

`Keep it in...´

[Sin of Wrath]: De-activated

Being now completely in control of my mind, I guided the mana towards my hand and I started to chant my own spell.

"Let´s see how you eat this you bastard!" 

The magic casters yelled, release  their magic missiles towards my location

"I know how your little trick works now, and I won´t fall for it for a second time! [Earth Wall]!"

Casting my spell, the wood screeched and the loud sound of wood breaking down echoed through the whole building.

And shortly after the sounds started a massive earth wall started to ascend from the wooden floor itself.

"What!" Both of the magic casters yelled while dumpstuck.

`He was a magic caster too!?´ They asked themself.

With the wall raising higher and higher, I pierced Veren directly to the wall, which results in me being dragged together to the wall higher.

The missile soon hit the wall and broke it.

With the earth wall now crumpled, I was still on the air gathering my mana into the Veren sword.

"Take this!"
