Thunder God's Reincarnation

Chapter 232

Chapter 232

Blackbosses were large monsters that resembled a bear. Their front paws had terrifying destructive power and were covered in thick scales that even Aura Blades found difficult to pierce through, and their claws could release an Aura that was as strong as an Expert-rank knights.

However, their strongest weapon was their charge. Coated with a strong magic force field that not even Aura could penetrate, stopping them on their tracks was difficult even for Master-rank knights. Expert-rank knights would struggle even if they had Chevalier Armor.

We should prioritize deterring the Blackbosses charge. Mu-Gun commented.

Agreed. If they manage to destroy our formation, we would likely find ourselves in deep trouble, Philford commented.

How about we position the Masters up front and have the Experts attack through the gaps?

We only have eight Master-rank knights. I doubt they can stop the Blackbosses by themselves.

I know. Thats why Sir Philford, Lady Camilla, and I will be the ones stopping their initial charge,

That is a good idea. Considering they heavily outnumber us, it would be no exaggeration to say that it is up to you two Grand Masters to stop the Blackbosses, Camilla said.

That applies to you as well, does it not, Lady Camilla? Mu-Gun asked.

Compared to you two, I am a nobody.

What? You do not pale in comparison to a Grand Master, so please dont say that, Philford replied.

Camilla smiled. You praise me too much. I will do my best not to fall behind.

I would like to launch the preliminary attack alone, Mu-Gun volunteered.

Why? Do you have another strategy in mind? Philford asked.

I will break the Blackbosses formation.

How do you plan to do that?

It would be easier to see it for yourself, Mu-Gun replied, stopping Philford from asking any more questions.

The two then briefed the Golden Lion Order and Crimson Dragon Order about the operation. Although they called it an operation, there was nothing special about it.

Having no plans to let up, Philford sent forth more Aura storms, brutally tearing apart the Blackbosses within range. At the same time, Camilla attacked the Blackbosses right flank with Gravity Press, having finished its incantation. Unable to withstand the immense pressure it caused, the spell easily crushed all the monsters that entered its area of effect.

The three slaughtered around two thousand Blackbosses in total. The sight they left behind served as a testament to how powerful Grand Masters and Archmages were.

Over three thousand Blackbosses remainedfar too many for the Golden Lion Order and Crimson Dragon Order to handle themselves. Hence, Mu-Gun used the Heavenly Thunder Storm Burst again, killing a thousand and paralyzing hundreds more. As Philfords Aura storms continued to lay waste to the Blackbosses left flank, Camilla cast Gravity Press again, crushing hundreds of Blackbosses. Soon, only a thousand were left, which was still quite a lot but nothing two Knight Orders could not handle.

Having been waiting for this moment, Schwartz and the four other Masters put on their Chevalier Armor and rushed toward the monsters. The Crimson Dragon Orders Master-rank knights followed suit, wearing Chevalier Armor that looked completely different from the Golden Lion Knights.

Emphasizing different traits, the Golden Lion Knights Chevalier Armor had a sleek shape since they focused on speed and agility, while the Crimson Dragon Knights had a relatively bulky one because they focused on solidifying their defenses. Since their effectiveness varied depending on the situation and the knights abilities, it was hard to determine which was better. However, The Crimson Knight Orders Chevalier Armor was more effective in stopping the Blackbosses charge.

With the Expert Knights following closely behind them, the Master-rank Knights rushed into the middle of the Blackbosses formation and launched a barrage of attacks, the Auras sweeping through them like waves. The Blackbosses leading the charge were flung back and sent crashing against those behind them.

The Master-rank knights could not hold them all off, however. Those out of their range quickly rushed toward their flanks. Their aggressive charge and the magic force field covering them created quite a daunting sight.

In response, the Master-rank knights quickly split off into two groups and bombarded the Blackbosses flanking them with Aura. The attacks blasted the monsters away and tangled them up with each other.

As the Master-rank knights blocked and broke the formation of the monsters rushing head-on, the Expert Knights ran forward and attacked the Blackbosses rolling on the ground.

Dozens of Blackbosses tried to get up and raise their front paws to defend themselves. Considering that the thick scales around their paws could deflect even Aura Blades, Expert-rank Knights could never pierce through their defenses even if they were wearing Chevalier Armor.

However, many knights were attacking the monsters. Even if their paws were impregnable, they were not big enough to completely cover them. Aiming for undefended parts, the knights Aura penetrated the Blackbosses hearts and heads.

Having killed their targets, the Expert-rank knights retreated instead of being greedy to achieve more. The Blackbosses in the back chased after them, but the Master-rank Knights stopped them with Aura.

After the Master-rank knights broke the Blackbosses formation, the Expert Knights quickly headed to the front and finished off the monsters. It was a simple offensive tactic that heavily relied on the Master-rank knights but brought impeccable results. If they failed to stop the charge or break their formation, the results could have been different.

The Blackbosses did not just blindly rush in either. Planning to leave the Master-rank knights behind and take down the Expert-rank knights in the back, they used their brains to inform the others and hit areas that the Master-rank knights could not defend.

However, the Blackbosses failed to take into account Mu-Gun and Philford. The two closely monitored the situation, eliminating anything that tried to slip past the Master-rank knights. Their presence on the battlefield allowed the Golden Lion Order and Crimson Dragon Order to launch a powerful offense without worrying about enemies coming from their rear.

The knights orderly attacks quickly reduced the Blackbosses numbers, eventually wiping them out.

The Golden Lion Order and Crimson Dragon Order hugged each other and basked in the joy of their triumph. They suffered less than twenty casualties compared to the enemys five thousand.

Thanks to Mu-Gun, their long battle resulted in a perfect victory.
