Chapter 87: Killed In Seconds

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Ah! In the end, you allowed them to run to the City of Dawn.” A strange and barely audible voice came from the darkness, as if something was running inside.

A pale Orc appeared and gradually slowed down. He was large but agile.

He glanced at the person who had blocked his path, but did not charge forward. Ignoring him, he spoke, “That city lord William is a detestable fellow. I really want to kill him. There’s also the assistant city lord Odom. There is a high bounty attached to his head.”

“Indeed. As a fellow half-elf, I become unhappy when I see him.” A half-elf slowly walked out from the darkness.He had three scars on his face, and his eyes were full of cruelty.

Subsequently.

Three figures walked out from the darkness behind him.

One of them was a mysterious man dressed in a black magical robe. He was the silent guy.

The other was a warrior whose body was covered in dense scales. He stretched out his long tongue and locked the blood on his face. It was as if he was obsessed with this.

The last person was a human warrior burning with black flames.

Just these five people,

They had killed the majority of the Temple Knights.

They were bounty hunters who traveled in the world of darkness…

They were not separated by race or gender. In this dark, underground land, only the strong were respected.

The goal they worked for was to kill whoever they could.

There was a large difference between these people and mercenary soldiers. Mercenary soldiers did not dare to violate the law on the surface. Even when they accepted assassination missions, their targets were often criminals. Bounty hunter did not care who their target was. They did not care whether what they were doing was righteous or evil.

Lancelot saw these people appear one after another. He gripped his longsword, which was burning with holy battle energy, and positioned it in front of him.

His gaze was firm, and he was ready to fight.

He was not afraid. If the five of them wanted to get through him, they would have to step on his warm corpse.

“If any of you aren’t going to attack, then I will. Although his bones are slightly hard, he is still very delicate.” The humanoid creature narrowed his eyes. The soil underneath him flew as he rushed over like a cannon.

Lancelot did not lose to the creature in terms of speed. He swiftly turned his body and slashed in a direction. It looked blindingly dazzling.

At the same time, dark green scales were also sent flying.

But three wounds had also appeared on Lancelot’s face, and blood started dripping down from them. His face had been damaged. He could not employ the use of Battle Energy to protect his body. Whatever battle energy he had in his body, it all had been channeled into his weapon. He was aiming to inflict the most harm to his enemy.

“Die!” The scaled monster roared. It was a surprise attack, as he bared his sharp fangs and tried to bite Lancelot.

But the knight in front of him did not use his sword. He punched his opponent’s teeth instead.

Lancelot did not care about the intense pain in his hand. He kicked the scaled monster, but could not resist his massive strength. The attack had not managed to move the monster, as his legs were firmly planted on the ground. He retaliated, and his sharp claws pierced through Lancelot’s armor, poking holes through his body.

“For glory!” Lancelot recklessly shouted. He gathered the last of his battle energy and tried to bring the scaled monster down with him.

But…

Anyone could see that the amount of holy battle energy was not enough to kill the scaled monster.

But suddenly.

A flash of blue light appeared, and a sharp sound of a sword disturbed the silence of the place. The phenomena instantly split the two of the parties and created a massive crater in the ground.

The five bounty hunters looked in the same direction at the same time. Their gaze was full of caution…

Who was this visitor?

It was just a person who could not sleep at night and was patrolling his territory by himself.

It was not because of anything else.

When William saw his territory and his city, he thought about the good days in the future. He felt very happy.

Coincidentally.

There were unexpected gains from tonight’s patrol.

“What a coincidence! Five bounty hunters, and all epic levels. Why have you come to disturb me?” William actually regretted firing that shot.

He had not not brought his transmission scroll with him, when he had woken up due to insomnia.

Now, even if he shouted, no one would come to help. Only very few troops patrolled outside the City of Dawn at night. Furthermore, they were not here…

Luckily, William was good at acting and, was combat was his strong suit. He was not afraid. He jumped down from the tree and narrowed his eyes as he walked over. A confused expression crowded his face. He tilted his head and said, “It’s the middle of the night. You are not cultivating your battle energy, nor are you finding women. Are you patrolling on behalf of the city lord?”

“The city lord of the City of Dawn?” The bounty hunters were shocked. They became full of not only caution, but also greed.

“What is your name?” William did not care about the five of them. He turned to look at the well-known Temple Knight, Lancelot!

That was right.

Through his insight, he discovered that he was impressive. The future head knight of the Temple Knights, Lancelot would become an idol among the people.

In particular, he would all the standards of a knight.

Modesty, honesty, compassion, heroism, justice, sacrifice, glory, and spirit!

He was not afraid in front of strong enemies. He was someone who was courageous and loyal, someone who was devoted and just. He had a clear conscience and would rather die than submit. He protected the weak and followed the rules!

I pledge to treat the weak well.

I pledge to resist the violent with courage.

I pledge to fight back against all wrongs.

I pledge to fight for the defenseless.

I pledge to help all those who ask me for help.

I pledge not to harm any wives.

I pledge to help my fellow knights.

I pledge to treat my friends with sincerity.

I pledge to not yield till death, and not fear death itself.

It was simple.

This knight was pure!

He was a perfect person.

Furthermore, he had no connections with any queens. He maintained the discipline of a knight to his death.

Thus, he would go on to become the dream lover of many female players. They daydreamed about him. They shouted and told everyone that he was the standard for their future partner…

“But how has he ended up in this fatal situation? I have to help him. If not…” William thought about it briefly and understood. It was a butterfly effect!

“Lancelot from the Temple Knights.” The knight, who was kneeling on the floor, replied weakly. He did not collapse, as the belief in his heart did not allow him to.

He could not watch the city lord of the City of Dawn facing attacks from the enemy for him.

William looked at him and sighed with emotion. A middle level knight with Legendary bloodline was only level 41. He had just advanced to the middle level. But being surrounded by five epic warriors was like being bullied.

“Three level 49’s and two level 50’s. It is rather cruel.” William was only level 46. It was not that he took a long time to advance. It was jus that je needed a lot of experience to level up!

William suddenly laughed. “Then, you guys come out too!”

The five bounty hunters stepped back at the same time.

They were not afraid of the lord of the City of Dawn. William did not have outstanding solo combat achievements.

They were afraid of the group of Elfin guards that never left William’s side, as well as Elfin guards Lautner who had always been protecting him.

“Are you not coming? Then I will!” The moment William finished talking, he raised his hand and shot a lightning arrow. Before the others could react, it pierced through the chest of the scaled monster.

[Light of Dawn: On some battle energy skills, it can increase 50% of battle energy, increase the attack power to 250% and increase 230 points of thunder damage. Its cooldown is 23 minutes.]

This crazy skill allowed him to strengthen an ordinary shot and break through the defenses.

A fatal blow had been dealt!

Not stopping just there,

Saint Spirit Surprise Strike!

William had passed through space and arrived in front of the monster. Before it could think of running away…

He stabbed the monster with both the Sword of Thunder and the Poisonous Short Sword simultaneously!

Instant death.

It was an indescribable force.

A massive hole had appeared in the scaled monster’s body. His organs were exposed. Blood gushed out of his body.

Less than two second later.

William pushed the lifeless corpse away and looked at the rest. His look was one of extreme curiosity.

“So strong?” The four remaining bounty hunters gulped.

The city lord narrowed his eyes. Of course, he would not admit that he had used up his tricks. If they really fought him, he would have definitely run!
