Chapter 1070: Combined attack (2)
When I gave the order, Klein didn't hesitate as he gave his own order.
"Fire the flames breaths around him, clear out the undead and create a path for him."
The royal guards also didn't hesitate when they received this order.
They had been well trained, so they immediately reacted when they received an order from a superior.
Flame breaths rained down on the undead around Alidus, but he didn't seem surprised at all. Instead, he just continued charging straight forward in the same direction that he had been charging in before.
He was charging right at the Death Knight.
It seemed that he was planning on going all out against the Death Knight with the way that he was charging at it.
Was he just confident or was he just foolish?
That was the thought that passed through my mind when I saw him charging at the Death Knight like this.
After all, the way that the Death Knight had stopped all those flame breaths with a single slash was still on mind. It was a brilliant display of might, one that couldn't be forgotten that easily.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
With this kind of might, it wasn't hard to imagine what would be needed to take down this Death Knight.
So it was hard to imagine that Alidus would be able to do anything to this Death Knight. But it didn't matter what they believed.
For now, all that mattered was observing what Alidus was planning to do and clearing the path for him.
With Alidus' size, he easily made his way across the battlefield with the path that had been created for him. It took no time at all for him to arrive in front of the Death Knight, but the Death Knight had been waiting for him.
The Death Knight had its sword raised as if it was prepared and all of a sudden, it slashed out with that sword.
The same thing happened where there was an almost visible slash that cut through the air. The pressure of this slash was immense, especially since there were traces of dark energy that followed this slash.
It was clear that this wasn't just a normal slash, it was a slash that utilized the dark energy that was a part of the undead horde.
This slash cut through the air and was aimed right at Alidus.
It seemed like this slash was about to cut right through Alidus with the way that it was flying out, but...
Alidus didn't seem to show any fear on his face when he saw this slash coming at him. Instead, it almost seemed like he was excited as he raised the club that he had in his hand.
It seemed like he was about to face that slash head on.
As he raised the club, there was a faint blue light that appeared around it.
This was similar to how the slash of the Death Knight had traces of the dark energy in it.
After the faint blue light finished gathering, Alidus swung his club down at the slash in front of him.
There was a moment of balance between the two forces as neither side was able to break through, but in the end, it was Alidus' club that was able to break through the slash and shatter it apart.
With the momentum of the club swing, he was able to approach the Death Knight even faster. Though the Death Knight had the face of a skeleton, it was still clear that there were traces of surprise on its face from having its slash shattered like this.
However, the Death Knight did not remain idle for long as it raised its sword once more and prepared to attack again.
Even though its attack had been stopped, it didn't seem discouraged.
Alidus didn't seem to mind this either as more faint blue glow gathered around his club.
"They're even." I muttered under my breath.
I had been able to see the flow of mana because of my developed senses and I could see that when they clashed, the mana had cancelled each other out. It only seemed like Alidus was stronger because there was a constant flow of mana to his club, rather than a single burst of mana like with the slash.
That was why he was able to keep pushing forward like this.
But once he reached the Death Knight and fought directly with it, it was hard to tell who would win.
Klein and the others were still clearing the path for Alidus, so there wasn't anything else that they could do.
The only one that was free was me who was sitting on Joan.
Joan was different from all of the other wyverns because of the amount of supplements that I gave her. That meant that she was stronger than any other wyvern that was in our army.
She was more than a match for the Death Knight if she were to fight it.
It was just that Klein hadn't allowed me to go down with her.
But in this situation, it seemed like it was the only choice.
At the same time, I would be the only one that could stop the lich if it came to it...
So after coming to a decision, I didn't wait for anyone to say anything as I patted Joan.
Joan followed this order from me and dived down at the Death Knight.
"Your majesty, don't!" Klein shouted to no avail.
He wasn't even able to follow me or send people after me since they were still dealing with
the undead.
Alidus was able to make his way over to the Death Knight and he swung his blue glowing club right down at the Death Knight.
The Death Knight didn't show any fear at all as it swung its sword up to meet the club.
There was a shockwave that was released when the two weapons met that pushed back all of the undead around them.
But before Alidus could make his next move, he heard something coming from above.
"Move out of the way!"
Alidus was caught off guard, but he still moved out of the way when he heard this voice since
he recognized it.
It was my voice.
Once he moved out of the way, flames suddenly passed by him and hit the Death Knight head on, completely engulfing it in flames.
