Chapter 452 - One-Sided Slaughter
Tang Shaoyang could feel the eagerness in Zaneos's words. He seemed to get something new and wanted to try it without his interference. If he joined the fight, the Elemental Knight should not be an issue for him. He could easily kill them since the gap between them almost doubled.
However, it was not different with the spirits, most of them were at the same level as him but Karan. These knights were easy prey for his spirits. He actually wanted to fight the two Captain Knights. He wanted to test out the power of the Lionax Kingdom's force by himself.
"Two hundred knights and a prince. The prince should not be going on an expedition alone with just two hundred knights. There should be more knights, maybe in the other cities," Tang Shaoyang surmised in a low voice.
The Lionax Kingdom had captured four cities, all the cities under the Dacian Kingdom. It was reasonable to split their force to defend the city from a potential attack.
"Alright, I will not join. You guys can have fun, but with two conditions! First, Don't kill the Captain Knights and the Prince. Second, make sure to leave the corpse," Tang Shaoyang backed away from the encirclement.
As soon as he backed away, all his spirits released their aura. He could feel the violent aura and also killing intent fuses together. From the distance, he could see the Prince's legs were shaking.
"Is this the way of using aura skill?" He had a few aura skills with all of them being passive skills. Since it was a passive skill, he thought he could not control the skill, but it seemed he was wrong.
'But if this aura is used to intimidate the enemy, it's a quite useless skill in battle. However, it's quite useful to scare the weak and to act cool,' he thought to himself.

Weed and Reed let out an audible dejected sigh. The prince's arrogance got them in this situation as well. Both agreed that this world just entered the Game, there should not be a strong individual hence the two did not bother to do a standard protocol for the expedition. They did not bother to scout the area as they entered the city arrogantly, thinking they were invincible.
"Don't be in a daze, lest I accidentally kill you two," a cold voice entered two Captain Knights' ears. Two Captain Knights raised their shields and directed their swords toward Bronson that suddenly appeared before them.
Gulp!
This feeling was too familiar, this was not the first time Reed got this feeling. He remembered. It was the day when he underwent training under the Left Wing Guardian. That old man radiated the same aura as this armored undead.
"That's the spirit! Don't give up so easily, you may have a chance to win, it's two against one, after all," Bronson raised his reavers and swung it toward the two Captain Knights.
Of course, even though they knew the enemy was stronger than them, they were not going down without putting up a fight. They were a Knight, the knight of the Mighty Lionax Kingdom.
There was a gale swirling around Reed's shield while fire covered Weed's shield. The gale and the fire were supposed to reduce the force of Bronson's reaver.
Bang!
The two reavers clashed against the shield. The fire exploded while the gale struck back toward Bronson. At the same time, Weed and Reed's complexion paled as their body was pushed back by the attack. Their boots slid on the ground, pushing them seven meters backward.
That was just pure brute force yet they could not completely block the attack with their skill. The gale and the fire also could not hurt the undead, not even scratch on the pitch-black plate armor.
Weed and Reed's hand, the one holding the shield was visibly trembling from the impact. Now the two Captain Knights realized the gap between them and the undead was just too big.
"Arghhh!" A scream echoed through the air. Weed and Reed looked toward the direction where the scream came from. The Demon Swordmaster cut their three subordinate's hands.
Not long after the hands, their heads slid down from the neck and followed by their bodies. The Demon Swordmaster slaughtered their subordinates as if the knights were living stock.
The Dark Wyvern easily pierced the shield through their armor with its pointy and long tail, killing three knights at the same time. At the other sides, the undead with lance penetrated their knight's head with the lance.
The Orc Warrior smashed and crushed the knight's shield and armor with his punches, and the flying ant cut the knights with its front legs. Malki's front legs were the sharp blade, similar to mantis but shorter.
The Chimera was not idle as well. There were two knights pierced by the goat's horn. The two bodies stuck on the horn as blood flowed through the horn. The Chimera's goat head seemed to enjoy drinking the blood. The lion head easily tore apart the knight's neck and the snake tail coiled around the knight, crushing the armor and the bones beneath the armor while the snake's mouth was holding a lifeless knight's neck.
Meanwhile, The Demon Prince was fighting. No, it was not fighting, the Demon Prince was bullying Prince Kaiden. The Archmaster Elementalist could not defend himself from the demon's swift assault.
"What are you doing! Protect Prince Kaiden!" Reed bellowed at his subordinates, but none of them listened to Reed as the knights themselves occupied with the terrifying monsters in front of them.
Reed was about to help Prince Kaiden but the cold voice sent a chill to his spine, entered his ears, "You should never look away from your opponent when you are in the battle!"
Bronson grabbed Reed's head with his hand and slammed Reed to the ground.
Boom!
At the same time, he swung the reaver toward Weed who put forward his shield. Defending the strike without using a skill was a mistake. The shield flung to the air as his body shot backward and crashed into the building. This was not a battle but one-sided slaughter.
