Chapter 11: Encounter Battle_2

"Stop!" She cried out to Mo somewhat resentfully. This slightly brusque act was something she had never done since she had become sensible. But for some reason, she was very angry now!

Realising that she might be somewhat unreasonable, she became even angrier...

Extremely, extremely angry! Extremely, extremely upset!

And a little bit inexplicably aggrieved.

"Stay away from me." Mo coldly said without looking back, "Or I'll kill you!"

Without a doubt, he was serious. He didn't kill Ji Xiaodao before not because she has a good figure and beautiful looks, but he didn't want her to reveal his existence after being resurrected, which might interfere with some of Mo's plans. But if this girl is too annoying, he wouldn't mind killing her. Not to mention a game character, even in reality, if necessary, he is capable of doing it...

"Then kill me!" Ji Xiaodao yelled at his figure, not feeling like herself at all.

Mo sighed, stopped once again with a gradually consolidating dark red energy sparkling at his fingertips, preparing to stop talking and kill her, but unexpectedly...

The sound of horse hooves rang out, and more than a dozen knights in armor galloped towards them from not far away. The leader held a golden lance, yelling at the two from afar, "Halt, who are you! Stop for inspection!"

"How annoying…" Mo sighed, waving to Ji Xiaodao, "Stay away if you don't want to die."

Then he turned around to face the upcoming squad of knights.

Mo didn't need to guess that this group should be the knights of the Shevan Empire. During the process of destroying Banther City, he had received plenty of information, and it was about time for someone to come looking for him.

Everything was originally proceeding according to plan, but unfortunately, because of a certain girl's delay, an unexpected event...

"Who are these people?" Ji Xiaodao disregarded his order and instead stood beside Mo, nodding her chin toward the oncoming squad of intimidating knights.

"Living people." Mo didn't bother to send her away. He simply stared in the same direction with a small smile, "But soon they'll all be dead."

At that moment, the leading human knight had already pulled his horse to a halt in front of them. He pulled out a large two-handed sword from behind his back, shouting, "Don't make any sudden movements. Put down your weapons and submit for inspection."

Mo didn't have a weapon in his hand, but Ji Xiaodao still did.

She swung the Dark Curse Rapier she had just taken up and asked in a low voice, "Are they your enemies? Do you need help?"

Mo didn't answer her. He just took two steps forward and then looked up at the robust middle-aged knight who was towering over him. "Are you the advance party heading for Banther City?"

Whoosh—

A gust of wind brushed past them, and a giant sword had been drawn to Mo's neck without him even noticing. The weapon's owner was watching closely, "Who are you? What do you know? What happened to Banther City?"

"Hehe~" Mo paid no attention to the giant sword beside his neck that could behead him with the slightest movement. He lifted his head and gave a crazed grin: "It's all been destroyed~~"

Poof!

A dark red glow appeared from beneath his cloak, slashing directly through the horse's neck beneath the knight, and went on attacking the rider on its back without losing any momentum.

"Ahh!!!" Although he managed to avoid the deadly attack at the last moment, the knight's sword-wielding forearm was blown to pieces. He fell awkwardly from his collapsing horse and let out a tearing scream.

[Blood Flash]

Active Skill

Requirements: Wisdom 30, Agility 45, black wizard occupation, with hands.

Cost/Limit: 5%–30% of Health Points, [Chaotic] alignment

Effect: Fire a flash of light generated by converting blood power with your index finger, causing penetrating damage to the enemy in the direction the finger is pointing at. The intensity depends on the total amount of converted blood. It can also cause meat explosion effect, the damage depends on the strength of the opponent's physique. Cooldown time: three seconds.

※ Hidden effect ※

As the spell caster possesses the Talent of Dark Blood, damage bonus increased by 20%, consumption reduced by 50%, very low chance to trigger the 'Flesh to Ash' effect (burn the target's life value on the same percentage as the spell cost).

[Remarks: a spell created by Stedligul, a heretic in the black wizard association, known as 'Blood Demon', uses part of his own blood as payment to pierce the enemy. It is a rarely used long-range combat method in the life of 'Blood Demon'. Blood Flash is not often used, but used more to torment dying prey.]

The Blood Flash that Mo unleashed by sacrificing 15% of his HP had instantly rendered the leading knight powerless. Due to the hidden effect of the Dark Blood talent, this skill had undoubtedly dealt full damage to the opponent and also triggered the 'Flesh Explosion' effect, blowing up the knight leader's half arm.

As a member of the temporary advance party, the knight leader, who was acting as high-level cannon fodder, wasn't too powerful, but he wasn't weak either. Normally, even players with around level 20 in profession might not be able to defeat him easily. At the time frame of the second day of server opening, he was almost invincible compared to the players, but Mo, who had a very strong initial ability, could still effortlessly render him defenseless, even when not using his trump cards...

This shows how many powerful skills and equipment he had obtained during his previous city rampage.

Ji Xiaodao was nearly dumbfounded. Although she had confidence that she could achieve this combat strength in time, it definitely wasn't now. Even for many big gamers or club leaders, achieving this was impossible!

[This guy... must have cheated…]

Ji Xiaodao, who was usually calm under most circumstances, was utterly flustered.

However, Mo had no time to worry about her composure. At this point, the subsequent dozen or so knights had arrived and quickly formed a triangular battle formation, rushing towards the mysterious man who had severely damaged their commander at their first encounter.

With the best angle, the simplest formation, and the most powerful mass skills!

Knight Charge!

Despite being less than twenty people, the knights then demonstrated an overwhelming force akin to a mighty army, a testament to their excellent basic skills.

But it was... useless...

The space subtly distorted, shaking, when a figure less than a meter tall suddenly appeared in front of the knights, shrieked, and was instantly torn and tossed aside by numerous lances!

Then the second one!

The tiny figure, ablaze, was knocked down and squashed into a pile of flesh by a galloping battle horse even before it could make a sound.

The third one!

Punctured and flung behind...

The fourth one!

Dead...

The fifth one...

The sixth one...

When the knights finally got within five meters of Mo, their previously torrential momentum had entirely disappeared. Despite maintaining speed and momentum through a series of hindrances, there was always a limit. After the ninth little creature was knocked away by the two knights at the forefront, they finally stopped…

The tenth tiny creature appeared in front of Mo, it had slender limbs, claws, thin scales covered its legs and it grinned maliciously at the knights!

"Oh? Is that it?" Mo shrugged, then raised a hand and pointed ahead: "Alright, go scratch them!"

[Summoning Skill: Lesser Demon]

Active Skill

Requirement: Intelligence Level 6, Job class 'Summoner'/'Magician'

Exhaustion/Limitation: 25 Magic Power

Effect: Summon two lesser demons from a lower plane who understand basic commands to fight for you. Cooldown period: 10 seconds.

Note: You cannot expect them to understand anything too complex, these tiny wreakers of havoc do not have any more intelligence or fighting capability than a pair of adult huskies.]

Under the influence of the skill [Demon King], the cooldown time for all of Mo's abilities was only thirty percent of the original duration. Using a frequency of two every three seconds, he used nine lesser demons to slow the knights' momentum in a short span of time. As per his command, the last one dashed forward, baring its teeth and claws...

And then...

[Summoning Skill: Explosion]

Active Skill

Requirement: Intelligence Level 10, Job class 'Summoner'

Exhaustion/Limitation: One obediently commanded summoned creature

Effect: Command the summoned creature to self-destruct, causing damage equivalent to three times the summoned creature's HP within a two-meter radius, cooldown time 20 minutes.

Note: Ex~plo~sion!!]
