624 Against Alton - Part 4
"Urghh!? Alton grunted as he held his belly. The pain was there from the strike, but he was more curious about where the strike came from. He recalled what Tang Shaoyang did, and his opponent was swinging the battle-ax. However, he was sure that the battle-ax did not reach him.
Once again, the Legend Rank Knight found out that his enemy was still hiding something up in his sleeve. 'What was that?' Alton tried to analyze what happened just now. He then looked at the Dragon Destroyer in Tang Shaoyang's hand. 'Is that the secret of his weapon where he can elongate his weapon?'
'I don't know, but I have to try it again. But this time, I have to be cautious.' Alton's analysis timing also gave Tang Shaoyang more time to adapt to the new things in his head. It was not just Zaneos' innate ability, but he gained the Demon Swordsman's experiences that had gone through countless battles.
Tang Shaoyang shook his head as it was too much information he had to proceed with. He focused on the old knight who was approaching him. Alton did a simple move which rushed toward him straightforwardly. As Alton moved toward him, The Old Knight summoned twelve flame swords around him.
It was a quick reaction from Tang Shaoyang as he summoned the [Chaos Fire]. The black fire formed a curtain around him, protecting him from the twelve flame swords. The reaction was instant, so the moment the twelve flame swords shot toward him, the black flame neutralized all the twelve swords.
At this moment, Alton arrived in front of Tang Shaoyang, two meters away from him. The knight was about to swing his sword horizontally, but Tang Shaoyang reacted faster. He swung the Dragon Destroyer first, the same move as before as he used [Invisible Slash]. He then saw the overlapping images again.
The two overlapping images were the same movement as before, but there were two additional overlapping images despite his counter. In the first overlapping image, Alton pulled his sword back and raised his shield. In the second overlapping image, Alton canceled his attack and leaped backward.
Slowly, the overlapping image became a reality where Alton raised his shield to block his attack. The Invisible Slash hit the shield before the battle-ax's blade hit the shield. As he was being hit, Alton immediately retreated as he had achieved what he wanted, and it was to find out about the invisible slash.
'I see, it's not the weapon, but a skill-' Alton figured out what was the thing that hit him, but he did not expect that his opponent would counter him at this time. All this time, he had cornered his enemy, so he did not expect the counter.
Tang Shaoyang cast [Flash Step] and appeared before Alton. At the same time, he raised his battle-ax as the Slayer Energy shrouded the blade. That did not stop there as Tang Shaoyang also activated [Thousand Blast]. Simultaneously, three spaces cracked around Alton with the same battle-ax.
He combined all the skills and abilities in one attack. Three battle-axes from the cracked void and added with [Thousand Blast]. With all of that, he produced four thousand blasts that had been imbued with Slayer Energy.
Alton did not expect the counterattack, exceptionally this fast. The counterattack gave the old knight no choice but to block the incoming attack instead of dodging the attack. He put the flame shield forward, and the crimson flame turned into the golden flame. The golden flame then spread out like a cocoon that would protect him from the attack.
Bboom! Bboom! Bboom! Bboom!
The continuous blast resounded as the ground was shaking fiercely from the impact. As the blast stopped resonating, a figure flew out of the explosion. The flaming figure was sent flying backward and crashed to the ground. This was the first time Alton suffered injuries.
The old knight laid down on the ground and coughed up mouthful blood. It was not just one cough. Alton coughed up more blood as he tried to get up.
Psssh! Psssh! Psssh!
The blood around his mouth immediately evaporated under the burning fire. At the same time, the blood he coughed up on the ground was boiling. By the time he stood up, Tang Shaoyang was standing right before him.
At the same time, Alton noticed shadows hovered above them. The old man looked up and saw three giant black fireballs descended toward him. His quick instinct told him to get away from this, but then he suddenly realized he could not move.
Alton looked down and found out that his feet had sunk into the ground. He tried to force himself to move away, but his feet were firmly stuck in the ground. By the time he realized, he did not have much time either. Once again, he was forced to receive the attack. The golden flame shield intensified and once again spread out, forming protection around his body.
However, Tang Shaoyang had prepared more than just three black fireballs. He used [Slayer Blade], creating twenty-four dark-red blades around him that pointed toward the golden flame cocoon. Yes, the Slayer Blade was tainted with dark energy. The pure red energy was mixing up with the darkness, changing the color of the blade darker.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The twenty-four Slayer Blades flew toward the golden flame cocoon before the three black fireballs could hit Alton. The Slayer Blades pierced through the golden flame cocoon, and right after that, the three giant black fireballs landed on the golden flame cocoon.
Boom!
The black flame erupted out, sweeping hundreds of meters of area. Tang Shaoyang was still standing right in front of the golden flame cocoon. It was his own black flame, so it could not hurt him. The black flame went wild, and it did not disperse until a few minutes later.
As the black flame slowly died down, the golden flame cocoon also disappeared, showing Alton's sorry figure. The Legend Rank Knight was no longer in his plate armor. Even the golden flame that shrouded around him was gone. Alton was bleeding all over his body, but the knight was still holding his sword and shield.
"Hah… Hah… Hah… Hah…" Alton breathed heavily as he fell with one of his knees. He was in a dire situation where he could no longer continue to fight. Everything happened so fast, and his enemy managed to catch him off guard. He thought he had the battle in his hand after he figured out how to fight his enemy.
The knight looked at the figure in front of him in wonder. Everything was weird during the battle. As the battle continued, his enemy was getting stronger. It was as if he was fighting a different person from five minutes ago.
Tang Shaoyang took a step forward. He was precisely a step away from the Legend Rank Knight. He was about to say, "Give up, Alton! And follow me!" But those words never came out of his mouth as the battle-ax fell off from his hand. He took a few steps backward as his hand clenched around his chest.
Tang Shaoyang grunted in pain as he fell with one of his knees. His expression was in pain as he clutched his chest tightly. He did not know what had happened, but he felt an excruciating pain in his heart.
—What's wrong, My Lord?
Zaneos panicked for the first time. He was flustered because Tang Shaoyang was still in a battle against the Legend Rank Knight. Alton might not look like he could continue the fight, but the knight was surely capable of killing an immobilized opponent. However, Zaneos did not receive the response he expected. There was no response from Tang Shaoyang.
The situation only made Zaneos flustered. He tried to take control over Tang Shaoyang's body, but he realized it was not possible. He tried everything he could, but there was nothing he could do in his position.
Tang Shaoyang truly could not hear Zaneos' voice. His ears were filled with buzzing sounds, and he could not hear anything. The pain was not lessening for sure, and it only got more painful as he tried to endure it. His vision started to get hazy.
Alton noticed Tang Shaoyang's abnormality. The Old Knight noticed that his enemy's eyes slowly turned black while clutching the chest area. He did not know what had happened to his opponent, but he was aware this was the golden chance to kill his enemy. It might not be in accordance with his path as a knight to kill the helpless enemy, but he would die if he did not take this chance.
Alton used all his energy to get up as he threw away his shield. When he stood up, he took a deep breath and made his way toward Tang Shaoyang, dragging the sword with him.
Tang Shaoyang could see that Alton was coming for him, but he could do nothing about it. His ears were buzzing, the pain was amplified, and his vision blurred. At the same time, it was as if his energy was being drained out of his body. His head screamed at his body to move, but his body did not listen to the order.
"Hah… Hah… Hah…" His breath turned erratic as the knight was approaching. 'After all of the things I experienced, am I going to die like this?' This was the silliest way to die for sure. He died in a battle, but he lost to himself? He did not die because his enemy was strong, but something ridiculous happened to him.
When Alton arrived right in front of him, Tang Shaoyang's vision blackened out.
