Chapter 267: Savage Charge

Chapter 267: Savage Charge



After some thought, Galina also stepped down from the carriage, feeling that personally activating the mechanism would be safer.

The Giant Axe Guardian Golem, in ancient times, was responsible for guarding the depths of the Black Flame Temple. Recently, the Black Flame Cult had the fortune of discovering several remains of these ancient guardians and, more importantly, their blueprints during excavations at various cult sites! These gigantic golems, aside from their weapons, were crafted entirely from a special stone material—Gray Spine Stone.

Wales County was one of the few places in the Dragon Empire where Gray Spine Stone was produced, so the task of creating the Giant Axe Guardian Golem was assigned to Wales County.

Galina, the High Priestess of the Black Flame Cult in Wales County, naturally took on the additional title of 'Chief Supervisor of the Giant Axe Guardian Golem' and was responsible for ensuring the timely completion and testing of the golem.

The golem on the cart was the latest replica of the Giant Axe Guardian Golem.

Suddenly, Galina turned to the Black Flame Cultivator beside her and said, "You few, take those new cultists and stop that person. Consider it a practical combat training exercise."

Huh? The Black Flame Cultivators were startled, immediately lowering their heads, feeling their scalp tingle. They exchanged glances, seeing fear in each other's eyes.

For a moment, he was too focused on the battle to pay attention to anything else!

Since Ren's fist and Bardalis' eyes were almost level and facing each other, the angle made it extremely difficult to notice the sudden lengthening of the blade. For the onlookers, the two moved too quickly for them to understand what had happened.

However, suddenly, she became aware! She looked up to the west and muttered to herself, "Bardalis has finally arrived!"

He had a clear view. Just then, a tall and muscular figure, with a low waist and hunched shoulders, rushed into the battle formation with the speed of a charging bull.

But either way, it meant that he couldn't possibly defeat this golem in a short time.

In the blink of an eye, the one-handed hammer transformed into a dual-handed hammer! With an advanced technique, 'Crushing Hammer', the skull hammer struck the golem's waist and abdomen! But Ren's expression at this moment was not one of relaxation! He could sense that the giant golem's surface had just flashed with black light, as if a mysterious black energy, like a flexible and slippery rubber coating, had blocked his previous attack! Sure enough, before the knights could even cheer, everyone saw the golem stand up again! The spot on the golem's body that had just been attacked was only slightly larger than a fist, with a white mark, and could be said to be completely undamaged! "Oh?"

A terrifying aura suddenly spread from the giant axe guardian's massive body, permeating the surroundings.

At the same time.

But now, with 'Wild Bull' Bardalis instantly defeated, the outcome of this battle became uncertain.

"Bang!!!

The people in Kleya's formation had just experienced a rollercoaster of emotions within those ten seconds.

Upon seeing this, Kleya and Duke Seril cried out in unison!

With the arrival of the giant axe guardian, an intimidating aura filled the entire area!

He knew he had to act quickly!

"Behind!"

This caused everyone, including Kleya, to change their expressions. Everyone understood that in the face of a golem with almost unmatched offensive power, losing mobility meant certain doom! "Whoosh!"

But what caught Ren's attention the most were the enemy's arms.

Accompanied by a deafening boom, a five-meter-tall, ten-ton giant axe guardian was knocked down by a single hammer strike! "What a powerful technique!"

As Kleya's guardian knight, he couldn't possibly allow her to be attacked right under his nose.

The enemy's previous attack, in terms of power, was at least of intermediate technique level! Moreover, this was already the third technique they had used!

"Enemy!"

After all, there was a significant difference between 'Wild Bull' Bardalis' height of 2.3 meters and Ren's height of 2 meters.

The black flame cultivators also heaved a sigh of relief.

"Sir Ren! We're here!"

Upon seeing 'Wild Bull' Bardalis charging through the enemy formation, the black flame cultivators' expressions brightened.

When the sky falls, someone tall will surely come to hold it up.

At this moment, in the center of the formation, Duke Seril was crouching, while the other two were above him, one on the left and one on the right. Together, the three peak knights, each holding a shield, prepared to intercept the charging enemy clad in a ramming shoulder armor! Seeing the three peak knights in a formidable formation, 'Wild Bull' Bardalis showed no signs of slowing down, his face contorted with ferocity! "Barbaric Charge!"

'How could he hit me first? My arms are longer than his, and my spikes are longer than his blades,' thought 'Wild Bull' Bardalis in his final moments.

This prompted the group of hesitant new cultists to spring into action!

".

With 'Wild Bull' Bardalis charging from behind, they were guaranteed to win with the pincer attack!

When 'Wild Bull' Bardalis saw Ren rushing towards him, he was about to dodge to avoid the blade, as he had just unleashed the 'Barbaric Charge' technique and needed a few seconds to recover.

The next second, the sound of grinding rocks filled the air, and the giant axe guardian slowly rose, extending one leg to the side.

"Quick! Block them!"

Instantly, Ren's toes touched the ground, and his entire body rushed back into the formation like a silver streak! On the other side.

The sound of footsteps, "Thud, thud, thud," immediately intensified, and the giant axe, dragging its body, suddenly accelerated towards the formation!

"What are you all standing around for? Get moving!" Galina was furious at the relieved expressions on her subordinates' faces.

The long-handled battle axe in his hand was also unusually long, a double-bladed weapon nearly three meters in length.

Upon seeing this, Galina couldn't help but smile. She quickly began chanting, and the next second, a black circle of light spread around the giant axe guardian.

Everyone was confused, but they saw the four blades on Ren's knight gauntlets pierce the enemy's forehead first.

As the giant axe guardian fully stood up, the black flame cultists finally felt the oppressive pressure from its towering height and massive weight. For a moment, the black flame cult's momentum reached its peak.

Ren narrowed his eyes. With this, his original plan to continue charging forward had to be abandoned for now.

So, Ren chose to punch! He unleashed the intermediate technique, 'Heavy Punch Combo', and struck the enemy in front of him with a powerful blow.

No mistakes in this chapter, read the flawless version at 69shu!

"The surface pattern can instantly absorb the attack's energy?"

That's right!

As expected!

At this moment, Ren, although rushing back to defend, felt the massive and evil aura coming from behind.

So, as soon as he broke through the formation, he was like a fish in water, basically killing the knights with a nudge, and even formal knights would fly with a slight touch!

Why do we have to take action?

In an instant, three or four cavalrymen in the rear of the formation, wearing chain mail and holding shields, were knocked into the air, three to four meters high, vomiting profusely, with their limbs or bodies twisted unnaturally, most likely dead.

Whether friend or foe, everyone in the field either turned around or looked up.

The few, thinking of their new high priestess' methods, could only grit their teeth and say, "Yes, High Priestess."

Through the mist, Ren saw the vague figures in the distance and knew that the black flame cult had mobilized their entire force.

The main problem was that Bardalis died too quickly! If he could have lasted ten more seconds, allowing their church's two groups to attack from both sides, the entire situation would have been difficult to reverse.

Kleya, upon hearing Rayen's voice, instinctively sidestepped without a moment's hesitation. In an instant, Rayen burst forth from Kleya's oblique rear, launching a powerful punch at 'Wild Bull' Bardars. The four blades of the claw hammer emitted a sharp, piercing sound as they cut through the air. Why didn't he use other weapons?

Although most people wore expressions of hesitation, there were still many die-hard fans among the crowd.

After Rayen struck down 'Wild Bull' Bardars, he quickly retracted his fist.

Fortunately, the battle formation was densely packed, and a few knights with shields and short weapons managed to delay the enemy's advance.

Suddenly, a cold glint flashed by, and two rows of cavalry with shields, totaling fourteen or fifteen, were directly waist-cut by the giant axe golem's strike! "Disperse!"

'How could this be!'

Galina witnessed this scene and nodded slightly, but instead of lingering, she made her way to the large cart.

"Leave this to us!"

Normally, anyone two meters tall who wasn't a 'Long-Armed Ape' would have a wingspan exceeding two meters and thirty centimeters.

Suddenly, a series of "Dong! Dong! Dong!" reverberated, like muffled thunder. With each step, the ground trembled slightly.

Through the mist, a figure taller than five meters emerged, approaching step by step.

A servant nearby quickly pulled back the canvas cover of the cart.

Instantly, nearly a hundred new converts of the Black Flame Cult, following several Black Flame Cultivators, charged from the front.

What's going on? Weren't they just here to observe?

It was like a perfect strike in bowling as the three of them were sent flying simultaneously.

The next second, his body radiated black fluorescence, and with a roar, his speed suddenly increased as he unleashed a technique, resembling a meteorite, and charged straight at Sir Seril and the others. Sir Seril's expression changed dramatically, and the three of them shouted in anger, defending with all their might.

As Galina quickly chanted and cast her spell, a strange black energy beam shot out from her palm, striking the giant axe golem's forehead.

Simultaneously, she cursed inwardly, "What an idiot! Don't you know that my height and wingspan are superior to yours?"

In an instant, everyone within a diameter of several dozen meters felt their feet sinking into a quagmire, their movements slowing down several times over.

"It seems that the previous attack was just a feint!"

Should I go up? The knights looked as deflated as wilted eggplants, dejectedly approaching the new converts.

Rayen's gaze instantly locked onto the black-robed woman among them.

'Wild Bull' Bardars has arrived? Great, they won't have to rush forward to their deaths.

However, among the nearly a hundred new converts in gray robes, many balked at the idea of blocking the formidable figure ahead.

If the opponent chose to avoid the fight or retreated into the crowd, it would be challenging to take them down quickly due to the interference of their own people.

The opponent's speed within the battle formation was also impressive!

Anxiously, they felt that the young Rayen had no chance of blocking this attack. Even if he didn't die, he would likely be severely injured! Including Sir Seril, they believed Rayen was being overly confident.

This made them involuntarily shout! Just as many knights were considering following Rayen into the battle formation, a tall figure had already penetrated the enemy's dark ritual array.

".

The knights' morale was high, and even Kleya found it difficult to stop their spontaneous volunteering.

However, to achieve a swift victory, they had to force the formidable, spiked gauntlet-wielding warrior to engage in a fierce battle.

This was because Rayen had already sensed the intense commotion behind him.

Currently, the only one exposed to 'Wild Bull' Bardars was Kleya, dressed in noble hunting attire and wielding a greatsword.

In the blink of an eye, Rayen considered two possible defensive modes the opponent might employ.

It was worth noting that this individual had been rampaging through the battle formation, and even Sir Seril and the other two knight masters had failed to stop him. Yet, this formidable opponent had been defeated by the young Rayen with a single strike. The crowd's gaze toward Rayen was filled with respect.

"Your punch didn't land, but mine did!"

Rayen's dark ritual array was located on a small hillock, providing relatively good visibility despite the fog.

"Pfft!"

The onlookers exchanged glances, and their blood boiled with excitement.

As many people wore expressions of despair, a silver figure emerged, surging upstream like a silver lightning bolt, charging straight at the giant axe guardian.

The combination of these two factors.

'Wild Bull' Bardars' expression turned joyful, but the next second, his face changed abruptly. Because just as he was two or three meters away, a silver light rushed towards him from the side. "Dodge!"

The knights' gazes burned with anticipation, hoping Kleya would agree.

As several knights prepared to charge forward, a loud crashing sound and cries of surprise erupted from the rear of the battle formation.

"Yes, Miss Kleya, I don't think we should let Rayen fight alone!"

Just then, Rayen had drawn the skull hammer from his waist, and with the aid of metal transformation, its handle extended, forged from hardened electrum.

The next second.

On the dark ritual array.

Simultaneously, his metal helmet was transformed into a bull horn helmet with two sharp horns.

Despite the overwhelming disadvantage, Rayen managed to turn the tide. "Miss Kleya, Rayen has already endured the most challenging attack for us!"

Although the crowd reacted swiftly, the commotion in the rear of the battle formation didn't cease; instead, it intensified, spreading towards the center of the formation.

Decapitation tactic!

However, Galina wasn't one to be trifled with. Noticing Rayen's gaze, she immediately began chanting, and the next second, a black beam struck Kleya.

This beam seemed to have no lethal power.

Kleya only felt as if she had been struck, and a faint black light appeared on her forehead, causing no discomfort. But the next second, she understood the opponent's intention. "This is a mark!"

The giant axe golem abandoned its current target, as if it had found a new one. It fixed its gaze on Kleya, gripping the long-handled battle axe and striding towards her with heavy steps, 'Dong, dong, dong.'
