Chapter 29: Eternal Temple (3)
The Knight Bone Commander, Echo Warden with his strong and sharp sword began to cut down several troops from the Mercenary.
The Moonshade Knights also tried to fight against the Echo Warden’s attack.
"CLANG!"
The clash of swords returned, and Echo Warden began to give another attack with his very sharp bone sword. Giving a big slash until the air around him seemed like it would be cut.
However, the attack was successfully stopped by the Moonshade Knight Commander, Morvhan.
At that time, Morvhan tried to stop the Echo Warden’s slash with an advanced slashing technique.
He slashed repeatedly to stop the Echo Warden’s attacks.
Then, Commander Morvhan said with a seemingly exhausted breath.
"Ugh, what a powerful attack."
"I don’t know how long it will last, but at least the other troops can hold out until the mage’s preparations are ready."
Morvhan also tried to stop the attacks from Echo Warden continuously.
The goal is for the mage from the mysterious black robe troop to be able to cast large-scale magic. In order to defeat the Knight Bone Commander, Echo Warden.
"All mage troops! Come faster!" Said one of the mages from the mysterious black robe troops.
At that time, the mages gathered so much mana, and formed a giant ball that floated in the air.
The air around him felt warm and hot, all the other troops tried to avoid the direction where Echo Warden was standing, so as not to be affected by the mages’ attacks.
After the giant ball was formed, then the ball turned into a giant arrow enveloped in hot fire and lightning.
The mages immediately launched their attacks on Echo Warden with giant spears covered in hot fire and lightning.
At that moment, the Knight Bone commander, Echo Warden, tried to stop the attack with his bone sword.
Then, he released a dark aura around his sword to strengthen the bone sword.
However, the spear attack was extremely powerful.
"BOOM!"
The surrounding area exploded as if hit by a large meteor that fell directly to the ground.
The gust of wind from the explosion caused all the troops present to be blown quite far from the blast area.
Many troops died as a result of the explosion.
However, some of the other troops looked so happy because they had managed to defeat Echo Warden with a powerful attack from the mages.
However, the pleasure was only temporary.
The commander of the Bone Knights, Echo Warden, was still standing strong with the armor on his body looking slightly cracked.
Echo Warden managed to survive the giant spear attack with the help of the magic shield on his armor and also the attack from his bone sword which emitted a dark aura.
Then, a voice echoed in the air again.
"The Highness... Thalrion... Will... Arise!"
The echoing sound was heard throughout the remaining troops.
And that made them unable to move, due to the enormous pressure of the echo of the voice.
"Ugh, this pressure... why is it getting heavier!?"Said one of the Knight troops from Moonshade.
With such heavy pressure, all the troops present were unable to carry out an attack.
They looked like they were out of breath, their chests felt tight. The air around them seemed to disappear.
Then, some troops began to fall due to the pressure of the voice.
Seeing this nearly defeated army, the mysterious figures who had been staying in the horse carriage, they also started to come out together.
And there were ten figures who looked great.
They are members of the royal family of Veltrazia.
At that time, Knight Cedric tried to see from a distance behind a large rock, where Theo and the others were hiding.
Knight Cedric was very curious about who these ten mysterious figures were.
Then, the ten mysterious figures were seen, one of whom was a member of the De Valemir family.
Knight Cedric was very surprised, he did not expect that one of the De Valemir family was a traitor.
"Really, this doesn’t make sense! So it’s you who’s behind all this." Said Knight Cedric with great anger.
However, the person who looked very angry was the mage Alden. He used to be one of the mage team from the kingdom of Veltrazia.
However, unexpectedly, the kingdom he once respected was a kingdom that hid its true identity. Two of the ten mysterious figures came from the Veltrazia kingdom.
The mage Alden could tell, because both of them were wearing a symbol shaped like a rose shield on the side of their sleeves.
They secretly entered the ancient ruins just to find the manuscript of immortality. The mage Alden did not know whether this was an order from the King of Veltrazia or there was a traitor who wanted power.
Then, one of the ten mysterious figures quickly slashed at Echo Warden who was currently in a weak condition, due to the previous spear attack.
"SLASH!"
The slash felt like cutting a very thin leaf. Everyone who saw it was shocked, they didn’t even realize, since when the mysterious figure could be near Echo Warden until he managed to cut him neatly.
However, the commander of the Bone Knights, Echo Warden. Before his body was destroyed, he said the same sentence again.
"The Highness... Thalrion... Will... Arise...!"
Once again, the sound echoed back throughout the area around the surviving troops.
Then, not long after, a bell was heard again.
"DONG!... DONG!..."
The sound of the bells grew louder and louder, until the ears of some of the remaining troops bled.
Shortly after, after the bell stopped ringing.
Suddenly...
The ground shook again like an earthquake. But this tremor was much greater than before.
The real fight has just begun.
A giant figure appeared, his body looked slippery and had so many scales on his skin. The giant figure was a very large snake, namely the Snake Basilisk.
The ancient snake Basilisk is a legendary creature that only existed in ancient times, and is said to have eyes that can bring death and curses.
This snake looks like Guard the Gate, enter the Eternal Temple.
"Damn, why did such a big snake monster appear now!"
"That, isn’t that like the snake in the Ancient Record book?"
Seeing the snake, the entire army began to run separately to avoid the snake. They tried to avoid being seen by the snake’s gaze, so as not to be cursed or killed.
At that time, Theo, Knight Julian, mage Alden and also Knight Cedric who was carrying the princess De Valemir. They rushed to escape in the middle of the current battle.
