The Adventures of an Overpowered Knight in Another World - Chapter 324

Chapter 324: Chapter 324- The Worsening Situation (4)
At the same time, the green glow that was on Karina’s blade moved on its own. As if it had a mind, it hissed, taking the form of a green snake and lunged towards the commander.

“Such highly lethal poison. Even I don’t want to touch them,” the latter muttered and activated his skill that generated an intense force field around his body, disintegrating the poison serpents and charged towards the assassin.

However, the latter was extremely slippery and melded with the environment to quickly disappear from there.

“Hmph, let’s see how you run away from this,” Saying that, the Commander slammed his sword on the ground. At that moment, the ground vibrated and waves spread through the earth and reached everywhere.

“Found you,” thanks to his skill, the position of the assassin was revealed.

“[Final Fracture]” He was not done yet. After finding her position, he roared out, using a power skill that sent forth shockwaves through the ground.

All these shockwaves gather in one single area before shooting forth towards the sky in a devastating display of power. A pillar of yellowish light rose towards the sky like connecting heaven and earth. It was so glaring and eyes catching that one could see it from anywhere around the city.

“Hmm?”

Vaerion, who was in the royal palace, greeting guests with Diana and protecting the royal family, when suddenly, his eyes were drawn towards the brilliant pillar rising towards the sky. Immediately, his eyes turned a little serious, and he rushed out of the palace.

“Kaelith, guard the King and Queen”.

And with that, he disappeared. BOOM… the park had completely disappeared, there was not even a single tree or even a stalk of grass remaining, all of it was blown away by the geothermal energy that released out of the earth.

Everyone was shocked as they looked at the man who was the commander of the Luminous Knights. Such power, even the knights from his own order, felt their throats getting dry. Thankfully, they all left the area as soon as they saw him use that skill.

They were lucky; however, not all of the civilians were. That huge AOE attack was simply too much to use in a crowded area. Many of them were injured despite being outside the boundary of the attack.

The same could be said for the members of the Temple of Light. Not all of them managed to get out of the range in time. The queen, who was a non combatant, and Delicia, who was unconscious, were lagging behind.

Seeing that they won’t make it, Vangeance stood like a shield in front of them while pushing them out of the way. Thanks to that, the knight was literally covered in blood from head to toe.

Yet despite that he refused to fall and exuded a great beast like battle intent that made the opponent knights freeze in their place.

“Senior Vangeance,” realising how badly he was hurt, the squires rushed to assist him.

“You all think this is a battlefield. Eyes on enemy and only the enemy. Nothing else matters,” he roared out, cautioning his too inexperienced teammates.

Meanwhile, at the centre of the devastation, the Commander walked over towards the area that was like the eye of the attack.

The pillar of geothermal energy might have expanded to cover more than hundreds of meters of area. However, most of its actual power was focused towards the core. As could be seen, the place had a deep, scorched hole that looked bottomless and unfathomable.

“Hmm? Did I disintegrate her?”

The Level 9 knight wondered. However, at that very instant, his instinct screamed, and his sword slashed to the side before he could even react. An application of [One with the Sword] and [Heart of the Sword].

Splash… blood flowed out, and Karina, who materialised at that place, had a deep gash on her shoulder. Nevertheless, she still managed to connect her attack.

At this moment, her right arm from the base of her shoulder to her finger, hand turned a dark green colour with scales appearing out of her skin. What was surprising about her form was that her hand and elongated and coiled around the sword of the knight to stab her dagger deep into the heart of the latter.

Drop.. Drop.. greenish liquid, corrosive enough to even eat away at the ground, was inserted into the heart of the man from her dagger. Even if he was a level 9 knight, he would definitely feel this.

“AHHH!!” Enraged and in pain, the commander of the Luminous Knight flailed his sword around, causing Karina, who was also injured, to back away.

Puff… he clutched his wound and puked out a mouthful of blood. Green veins quickly surfaced on his body, giving him a vision of a gigantic green snake coiling around his body. The toxin in those blades was so lethal that even a level 9 extreme knight like him was unable to bear it.

“Commander!!” The knights of the Luminous Knight came rushing after seeing their commander was injured.

“I’m fine, I blocked the poison trying to enter inside my heart. Just cast a healing skill on me.” His comrades nodded and cast [Vibrant Heal]. Quickly, the wound on him disappeared, and his veins returned to normal.

Poison might be a great weapon of assassination. However, it did not have much effect on the body of a level 9 extreme knight who had stepped in and beyond the realms of superhuman.

That said, the commander of the Luminous knights had to admit that the assassin was powerful and might have been able to kill him had it been an assassination. However, with him being aware of her presence, she lost the element of surprise to deal him a deadly blow.

If she thought that she could defeat him with just that, then it was a steep dream of hers. Be that as it may, after fighting with the assassin, he was starting to feel like something was wrong.
