Chapter 11: Direct Confrontation With The Boss
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Undead Knights had come to the front. Xue Linglong glanced at the teachers and students hiding in the corner, grit her teeth, and stretched out her long leg to kick the wall. Her body then folded back on itself. With a clever feint, she dodged a spear, which almost cut her face.
“Great awareness!” Link looked at her, and there was a flash of appreciation in his eyes.
Xue Linglong had yet to gain enough battle experience at this time. The fact that she had such spot-on spontaneous reactions was proof that she was extremely talented. Moreover, she chose to stay with the teachers and students.
This kind of behavior seemed a little stupid to Link. If it were him, he would definitely not stay. However, he had to admit that she was adorably stupid. At least, he couldn’t bring himself to dislike her.
…
Pant!
Xue Linglong returned to the crowd, panting heavily. Her hair was stuck to her forehead with sweat, and she looked quite bedraggled. She looked at the people around her. Her mind whirled, thinking about how to get out.
“They… they are attacking again. Classmate, hurry up and stop them!” Lin Jian suddenly screamed. He rushed to Xue Linglong and shoved her frantically, trying to get her to stand out and face the Undead Knights. However, with his physique, how could he move Xue Linglong, an awakened Extreme Ice Combat Maiden?
Instead, he staggered and almost fell.
Xue Linglong glanced at him with disgust. Others might not have noticed when Lin Jian pushed the security supervisor out earlier, but she saw it all. She had already labeled Lin Jian as a shameless villain; there was no way she would listen to him. In actual fact, this group of Undead Knights was rushing towards her whether she wanted them to or not.
The crowd dissolved into chaos. They fled, trampling everything.
More than 20 lives were lost again. Everyone was completely exhausted. They were unlikely to survive the next charge!
At this moment, the Undead Knights’ neat ranks suddenly separated.
The Undead Knight Commander appeared on its mount. It pointed its spear—which was thicker than the spears usually carried by Undead Knights—forward.
Rumble!
The skeleton horse raised its front hooves high and let them fall heavily.
The hooves’ huge impact caused cracks to spread outward like fine cobwebs on the floor. It looked as if the floor was about to collapse.
The Undead Knight Commander didn’t want to play any longer; it intended to end the battle!
“Ah—”
“I don’t want to die… don’t want to die…”
“Help… who will save us!”
“Mother…”
Xue Linglong’s heart tightened, and her pupils constricted suddenly. The thought of impending death filled her mind.
The Undead Knight Commander turned into a black shadow and darted forward. It was an unstoppable and terrifying force. Even the air crackled.
The sharp spear was pointed directly at Xue Linglong’s head.
Xue Linglong had no time to do anything else. All she could do was raise her right arm—where blue energy coalesced—in front of her and lowered her head. After that, she felt despair.
In her heart, she knew that this little bit of energy was simply not enough to resist the Undead Knight Commander’s attack. Her actions were merely a conditioned reflex.
…
She was prepared for excruciating pain and even death. However, for some reason, the expected attack didn’t happen. Instead, a very pleasant sound of metal clashing against metal reverberated.
She raised her head. A figure blocked the light in front of her. The figure was not tall. Rather, it was a bit thin. However, in the eyes of Xue Linglong, it was very impressive!
“You should be the highest-ranked monster in this school…” Link looked at the Undead Knight Commander in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.
The Undead Knight Commander looked at the human who had appeared in front of it in astonishment. Its anger then surged, and the strength in its hands increased substantially. It wanted to crush the tiny insignificant human being with its brute strength. However, it didn’t expect that the young man’s arm, which held the long sword, would not waver at all.
This human… actually had power that was on par with its own! How was it possible?
…
At this moment, the large conference room was extremely quiet.
Everyone stared at the scene before them blankly. Subconsciously, they gulped. Everyone knew how powerful the Undead Knights were. Just now, even Yan Lanxi and Xue Linglong, two very powerful people, barely managed to survive the Undead Knights’ attacks.
Not to mention, the Undead Knight in front of them was clearly stronger than the others that had come before. But why… was this young man—who had appeared from nowhere—able to block its full-powered blow so easily?
“Link… is that you?” A sweet female voice came from the crowd behind him.
Link turned his head and saw a beautiful but dusty face.
Qiao Ruowei, Ling Ge’s class monitor, and also the school belle! She was also one of the commended people in Dragon City No. 1 Middle School’s commendation ceremony. She was extremely bright and beautiful, the recipient of admiring and envious looks. However, Doomsday came so suddenly and unexpectedly that she almost died.
“It’s really you!” A surprised smile appeared on Qiao Ruowei’s face. It was as if she had met her savior. “Are you here to save me?” She bit her lip lightly. If it were some other less dangerous time, the lip biting would be very attractive. However, her face was currently all dirty!
Link ignored her. Actually, the two of them were not close. God knew why the woman had developed such an unrealistic delusion. Instead, he glanced at Xue Linglong—who was squatting behind him—and quietly asked, “Can you still stand up?”
Xue Linglong was slightly startled. She stood up and walked to Link’s side, then posed as if she was ready to fight. “Yes!”
Link sneered instead, “If you can stand up, move away, Don’t affect my performance!”
Xue Linglong was startled. Silently, she wondered if Link was going to face the terrifying monster alone? She was about to say something, but she swallowed her words and quietly retreated into the crowd upon seeing Link’s completely indifferent eyes.
“Do you know Link?” A voice sounded next to her ear.
She turned her head and saw that it was Qiao Ruowei. Immediately, she shook her head. “No. I only know his name!”
When Qiao Ruowei heard this, she subconsciously checked out Xue Linglong’s body. Her eyes flashed with unconvinced anger before she fell silent.
…
Roar!
The Undead Knight Commander roared angrily and raised its spear high. The black air swirled around the spear blade like a small tornado. The Undead Knight Commander charged at Link, aiming straight for his chest.
The corners of Link’s mouth curved up slightly. Holding [Red Sky], he stepped forward to meet the Undead Knight Commander head-on.
The next moment, [Red Sky]’s aura burst out, entangling with the black energy.
In the laboratory building opposite, Luo Xingyao and the other person stared intently at the battle in the conference room. They were utterly shocked.
“My god… Where is that crazy guy from? He actually clashed head-on with that guy?” The muscular man licked his dry lips, disbelief apparent on his face.
They knew too well just how powerful Undead Knights were. They were something they had no hope of winning against. Furthermore, the one that Link was fighting against was clearly not an ordinary Undead Knight. Just looking at the amount of power in its movements and gestures were enough to make one’s scalp go numb.
But Link… was actually holding his own?
