[Bonus chapter] Rescue
Chapter 58: Rescue
At that moment, the Holy Knights also arrived closer to Raollet and tried to pick him up.
But the ring in Raollet's left hand shone suddenly and created a small forcefield around his body!
"Let's break it!" One of the Holy Knights spoke in a solemn tone.
Although the Holy Knights got surprised by the forcefield, they instantly acted according to their plan.
They unsheathed their weapons in unison and slashed at the forcefield from all directions.
In the meantime, Abium continued to run for the next five seconds and soon arrived near those Holy knights.
He also noticed that Margrave Eliot and Baron Tibbott had already arrived near the forcefield and slashed their weapons to break it.
'Okay. It's time to see if I can use the advanced 'Chaos Slash' sword skill.' Abium quietly muttered as he gripped the Sword of Wrath tighter and sent mana into it.
But as soon as the sunshine sword aura appeared around the sword, he felt a strange sense of pricking sensation.
Like a ray of blood, a mysterious scarlet aura appeared around the edges sooner and radiated in a dangerous light.
At that moment, Abium also felt that the mana in his body also depleted completely and went pale.
But that was not the end of it.
He felt massive pain all over his body because of using a double-edged skill at this early stage. But he gritted his teeth and endured the tremendous strain.
Finally, he took a sword stance as he arrived behind three Holy Knights, moved a step forward, and slashed his sword at them.
A red surge arose from the sword, causing everyone to halt their movement.
It was not some random skill but a powerful skill created by a Grandmaster Swordsman after killing more than 1000 Mid-Demons!
He created this skill after the arrival of the Chaos Era and gave new hope for the warriors to survive in the Demon-filled land.
Unfortunately, practicing this skill wasn't an easy thing, though. It would consume more mana and even harm the user's body.
It was more like a double-edged sword.
Simultaneously, an immeasurable killing intent emerged from the sword and enchanted the skill's power!
The scarlet aura soon turned into a pure red and gave off destructive feelings to everyone who stood on the battlefield.
That aura gave an impression that it could destroy everything in its way and annihilate its target.
At that moment, Abium also entered into a battle mode and slowly analyzed everyone's movement.
The other two Holy Knights, Margrave, and Tibbott, also noticed his arrival and opened their mouths to warn the three Holy Knights.
But his attack went faster.
Before they could say a word, the sword ripped the air and directly passed through those three Holy Knights' bodies while sending a destructive shockwave.
A sonic sound resounded on the battlefield, causing everyone on the battlefield to halt their movement and shift their gaze towards his direction.
Even Holy Maiden and Prince Raollet stopped their battle and looked at him, surprised.
They soon saw that a strange red line appeared on all three Holy Knights' chest areas and became dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, the three Holy Knights lowered her gaze, looked at their chests, and soon saw a horizontal cut that appeared over there.
They tried to open their mouths to scream, but no words came out.
Only pain assaulted their minds.
Before long, their vision gradually black, and they fell slowly, leaving thudding sounds behind.
All three Holy Knights took their final breath in two seconds.
On the other hand, Margrave Eliot, Baron Tibbott, Holy Maiden, and even the other nobles got shaken by this sudden change and froze.
They also felt that some invisible power appeared from half-elf and quivered a little.
"It ended smoothly."
Abium spoke out loud and shifted his gaze towards the Crown Prince.
Unlike others, the Crown Prince wasn't intimidated by his Chaos Slash skill and only looked at him in confusion.
"I'm your ally." Abium only said a few words and then shifted his attention towards the greenish forcefield that covered Prince Raollet.
Then, he made a swift slash, shattered the forcefield into countless pieces, and calmly dismissed the sword skill.
He didn't show a single sigh of tiredness and remained calm as water.
At the same time, he heard Crown Prince's words from afar.
"Thanks for the help, my friend. The royal family will forever be in debt to you!"
A smile appeared on his face.
As for Margrave and others, they were too shocked even to move a muscle.
At that moment, they knew that the strange sword aura could kill everyone on the battlefield and took a step back in fear.
'That's what I wanted to see.'
Abium calmly glanced at them and spoke loudly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will take care of Prince Raollet."
While speaking, he casually raised his left hand and snapped his finger.
Two reddish orbs of fire appeared out of thin air a moment later and flew towards Margrave and one of the Holy Knights at an unimaginable speed.
Two explosive sounds echoed as the [Fire Orb] spells made contact with their bodies and threw them in different directions.
Even Baron Tibbott and the other Holy Knight also got affected by the shockwave and fell backward.
On the other hand, Abium quietly bent down, picked up the Prince Raollet, and put him on his shoulder.
Then, he hurriedly turned around and started running in the direction where Nicolaus was lying.
Meanwhile, the Crown prince understood his intention, took out a vial from his space ring, drank a strange alchemic potion to replenish his mana, and went all out against the Holy Maiden.
Simultaneously, he took out a strange black scroll from his space ring, tore it while blocking the sword attacks from Jeanette, and threw it at her.
The black scroll suddenly burned in a black flame and created a head-sized magic circle a second later.
Jeanette squinted her eyes upon seeing this, moved her sword at an unimaginable speed, and tried to break the magic circle.
But before her sword tip could touch the magic circle, a fist-sized magic stone flew out of Huggin's hand and directly entered the magic circle.
A second later, eerie dark chains made of some metal appeared out of the magic circle, encircled the Holy Maiden's body like slithering snakes, and completely bounded her.
Although she tried to break it using brute strength, her efforts turned futile.
Meanwhile, Huggin hurriedly turned to his right and started running.
Within a few seconds, he arrived closer to Abium and hurriedly checked Raollet's body.
"What happened to him? Is he okay?" He asked in an anxious tone.
Meanwhile, Abium waved his hand and responded calmly.
"He is just unconscious, Your Highness. It's better to get away from this fortress first."
The Crown Prince took out a teleportation spell scroll from his space ring and tore it quickly.
But no magic circle appeared from the torn scroll and caused Huggin to go pale.
"It's not working!" He muttered in shock.
At that moment, Abium also widened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
'Wait. Is it the [Dimensional Lock] spell?'
He didn't expect the Light Church members to use such a precious scroll to capture Raollet and clicked his tongue.
'Damn it. We have no choice but to escape using the land route.' He cursed inwardly, turned his gaze towards the sleeping Nicolaus, and spoke.
"Please take this guy and follow after me, Your Highness. The Light Church might have used the Dimensional lock spell to seal this whole town. If we want to leave this place, we need his help."
Without waiting for Huggin's response, he turned around and ran towards the fort wall.
Although Huggin was skeptical of Abium's identity, he didn't have any other choice but to believe him for now.
Heaving a deep sigh, he picked up Nicolaus with both hands, put him on his shoulder, and followed after Abium.
The fort walls were already destroyed due to the previous clash between the mysterious illusionary bird and Holy Maiden, making it easy for them to escape.
By the time they left the fortress, Jeanette had also managed to break the eerie dark chains, flapped her holy wings, and slowly rose in the sky.
Then, she closed her eyes and started to chant in a weird ancient language.
