Second World Novel Chapter 891

Chapter 891. Knights of the Round

Chapter 891. Knights of the Round

Consume Soul was a skill that had a chance of inflicting instant kill. But by luck, Jack was under the buff of Gold Dragon Vitality, which protected the user from the instant kill effect. Still, with Jack’s high luck stat, probably the instant kill would not be triggered even if Gold Dragon Vitality was not used.

Jack still received large damage from the attack. But due to his large health boost, he still got some to spare.

The hellion panther, which was originally pinned by the brave golem, was saved by Four Winds. His Titan Strength had a short cooldown and it was available again when Abasi was assaulting Jack. Four Winds activated it and turned his body into a giant. Although he was an expert martial artist, he wasn’t confident enough to break through the blockage to get to Jack, so he instead relied on the Hellion Panther to go after Jack in his place.

Despite his increased size, Four Winds was still only half Brave Golem’s height. Yet, his enhanced strength managed to push the Brave Golem enough to free the Hellion Panther. He then instructed the panther to go after Jack. With the panther’s speed and strength, it had no problem charging through the small soldiers.

Jack was not killed by the panther’s consume soul skill, but he was still not out of the woods yet. His body was still hugged by the whisker despite the panther continuously getting stung by lightning damage. Jack was unable to move freely. Four Winds’ intention was to unsummon Everlasting Heavenly Legends’ guild soldiers by killing Jack, so that was the hellion panther’s sole objective.

The panther opened its large maw and attempted to bite Jack directly this time.

Jack had been casting a spell since he was hit by the Consume Soul skill. His spell was completed just before the panther’s teeth arrived.

Jack turned intangible. The panther’s mouth came and clasped at Jack, but it was like it was biting air. It looked at Jack in confusion. The whisker that had been holding Jack had also come off. Jack floated away as if a ghost. This was the effect of his Ghost Form spell.

The Hellion Panther chased after Jack and tried to claw and bite him, but its attack just passed through Jack without hurting him.

Everyone had focused their attention on Jack and they forgot about Nilrem. At this time, her spell was completed. Jack was amazed to find out it was a seven runes mega spell!

A pushing force erupted from Nilrem. Whether it was allies or enemies, they were all pushed away. This created a wide empty field around Nilrem. Then all of a sudden, twelve large bronze doors dropped from heaven.

“That… That is the Knights of the Round spell!” Jack heard Peniel’s voice. She had just arrived.

“Knights of the round table? From the Arthurian legend? What does this spell do?” Jack asked.

“It’s a summoning spell,” Peniel answered. At the same time, the twelve bronze doors opened. From the door, twelve knights with full armor covering their entire bodies, including their faces, walked out.

The closest to Jack was a knight in complete white armor. In his hands were two white longswords. Jack used his Inspect on this knight.

Sir Lancelot (Rare Elite Human, Court Knight), level 73

HP: 820,000

‘So high!’ Jack thought of the level. He assumed at first this summon would be at Nilrem’s level.

Peniel, who heard his thought, explained, “The Knights of the Round spell summoned court knights of at least level 70. Any additional level after that is affected by the caster’s intelligence stat.”

Jack looked at the other summoned knights. They were all at the same level as Lancelot, and they all had names from the knights of the Arthurian legend. Arthur, Gawain, Geraint, Percival, Bors, Lamorak, Kay, Bedivere, Gaheris, Galahad, and Tristan. All except Arthur had the word Sir before their names and had the title of Court Knight. Arthur had the title of Court King.

Arthur was covered by a bulky golden-silver armor. His weapon was a very large greatsword with a shining jewel at the center of its crossguard. This jewel emitted a magical light that enshroud the greatsword.

‘Is that Excalibur?’ Jack wondered.

Arthur pointed his greatsword at the sky. A shooting light radiated out from him, covering a large distance. Allies touched by the light recovered their HP and received a buff, including Jack.

Lancelot then burst forward. He was the first to charge into the enemies, followed by Galahad, his son in the legend. Jack was not sure if the Galahad here was his son or not. Lancelot swung his two longswords and two lines of energy split the ground and damaged everyone in their paths.

The other court knights also rushed forward after the two’s lead. They dove into the enemies and started a bloodbath.

Even one level 73 rare elite could heavily affect the course of the battle, what’s more twelve of them. The orc force was in disarray.

One of the orc chieftains had pulled Abasi away after he was blown by the pushing force when Nilrem’s spell was cast. He summoned his mount and they rode away. Abasi, who had lost one arm, didn’t insist on staying.

Four Winds had also sent a message to Water Lily to issue a retreat for their guild army. Once Jack failed to be taken down and Nilrem finished casting her spell, he knew it was time to split.

The hellion panther ran back with its speed and agility to pick up Four Winds and their guild hero, Kishale. They then retreated with haste.

The ones that were still slow on the uptake were Warsong Rising’s guild army and the native soldiers that Abasi had brought here. These armies now faced the brunt of the knights of the round’s assaults. Jack and the others joined in on the slaughter.

The right side of the battlefield, where the guild armies had been fighting, soon had a clear victor. Everlasting Heavenly Legends, continued pushing inward, flanking the orc’s main army, spearheaded by the Arthurian knights.

The orc’s main army, which was fighting with the human’s main army, was already at a disadvantage from the start. Mainly because of Jack’s first strike that disrupted their formation, and then with Abasi taking many of their capable soldiers to fight Everlasting Heavenly Legends’ guild army, further weakening the main army.

Thus, with their originally already disadvantaged situation, coupled with Everlasting Heavenly Legends pushing from their flanks, their situation turned from bad to worst.

Jack had already united with Arlcard and Therras whom he left behind to fight the main army. Together with Paytowin and Brave King, they stormed the orcs and continuously pushed them back. Mihos was still somewhere around the sea of orcs.

The orcs, being battle-hardened folks, continued to fight back even though their loss was a forgone conclusion.

Jack fought on the frontline to reap more exp and souls, but since his Body Double spell had a limited duration. He had to change place with the one that was stationed behind the command platform, or else the entire guild army would be forcefully unsummoned.

While behind the control platform, he could afford to sit back and look at the battlefield relaxingly. The battle continued to rage on for some time.

From behind the platform, Jack noticed Nilrem floated up into the air. Up there, she started casting a spell. Rune symbols are formed one by one. But before it was completed, a loud horn was heard.

It was the horn signaling for the orc to retreat. The orcs were a brave race that continued fighting despite losing, but after the retreat command was given, they didn’t insist on continuing the battle. Chivalry and suicide were two different things.

Seeing the orcs rapidly move away from the battle, Nilrem stopped her casting. The spell formation that was almost completed fizzled and disappeared. Before it did, Jack saw that the casting already had the spell formation at the beginning of its eight runes.

An eight-runes spell! Jack thought it was a pity that he didn’t see what the spell was. The mythical-grade hero their guild had here was indeed not disappointing.

After the orcs retreated far enough, Jack gave the command to stop chasing. The battle was concluded and the Knights of the Round vanished with a flash of light. Everyone uttered a triumphant yell. The plain was soon filled with cheering from the human army.

The corpses of the players and guild armies on the ground vanished after the battle was over, but the corpses of the natives remained. Some left behind loots. Those were the ones directly killed by either Jack or Paytowin and their minions. The ones killed by the human army or the guild army didn’t drop any loots.

The guild army, however, gained the bonus of exp as well, similar to players. Although the exp received was not as much as players, it was still an increase compared to the native army. Thus, for the ones surviving this battle, most of them increase by one level. Their guild heroes, Nilrem and Uruk, increased their levels to level 59 and 63 respectively. While the guild guardian, Penny, was now level 63.

Paytowin increased by two levels to level 55. He killed quite a number of enemies with his Mothership Bombardment. His Brave King was also fierce enough to reap many victims. His level was now like Jack’s, above most mainstream players’ level.

Mihos was already one level higher than the last time they saw him when Paytowin summoned him. After this war, he increased to another level and was now level 51. He had left without any word after the war was over.

Arlcard and Therras also increased by one level. Arlcard was now level 63 and Therras was level 59.

As for Jack, he gained the most exp points since he also received the exp from the enemies killed by the human native army nearby him. He received four times level-up. His Brave Swordsmaster increased by one level to 58, his Time Sage increased by two to level 58 as well, and his Beastmaster class was now level 57.
