Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

The old man seemed to extend a warm invitation, but in reality, he wanted to lure Soren and the others into the town to control the situation, preventing them from having any further opportunity to explore the secrets hidden behind the town.

The intention hidden within that smile was obvious to anyone with discerning eyes; it was nothing more than a charade.

Soren couldn't possibly miss the deeper meaning in the old man's words, but surprisingly, he responded with a smile: "Elder, your kindness is something I cannot refuse."

Having said that, he led Earthshadow towards the direction of the old man.

His pace seemed unhurried and relaxed, but in reality, every step held hidden secrets. As Soren walked, he subtly observed the surroundings, constantly vigilant for any potential changes.

When Soren and Earthshadow were less than ten meters away from the old man, the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense, as if the air itself had solidified.

At this critical moment, Earthshadow suddenly and unexpectedly launched an attack.

His aura erupted violently, and the majestic and vast power of a Saint-level expert surged forth like a raging tide. He stomped fiercely on the ground, and his entire being shot towards the old man like an arrow released from a bowstring, his speed so fast that only a blurry afterimage remained in the air.

Earthshadow chanted incantations, and in an instant, a shield emitting a brilliant light appeared out of nowhere in front of him. Runes flowed across the shield, radiating a powerful defensive force, clearly a measure he had prepared in advance to counter the old man's potential retaliation.

At the same time, he waved his other hand fiercely in the direction of the old man, and a sharp, earthy-yellow knight's sword whistled out. The knight's sword sliced through the air, emitting a piercing shriek, carrying a powerful force capable of tearing space apart, and slashed straight towards the old man.

This attack was both ruthless and accurate, catching the old man completely off guard.

The moment Earthshadow made his move, Soren didn't stand idle. He retreated slightly, his eyes fixed on the battlefield, ready to respond to the situation at any time. After all, when facing such a powerful opponent, every detail and every moment was crucial. A slight carelessness could lead to complete defeat.

The old man and Earthshadow instantly engaged in battle. For a time, energy surged within the area, light flashed, and the collision of powerful forces stirred up gusts of wind, making it difficult for the surrounding people to open their eyes.

The old man's figure was agile, his sleeves danced wildly in the wind, and his hands constantly changed hand seals. Streams of brilliant light flew from his fingertips, transforming into sharp spells that attacked Earthshadow.

Those spells either shot out like sharp arrows or enveloped the sky like a net of light, each strike containing immense power, as if to instantly crush Earthshadow.

Earthshadow also didn't show any weakness, relying on his own excellent defensive skills and the powerful Holy Knight's power, he calmly responded.

The shield in front of him, emitting a brilliant light, constantly flashed with runes, accurately blocking the old man's attacks time and time again. The ripples generated by the energy collision spread out in circles.

At the same time, Earthshadow seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, either swinging a giant fist condensed with the power of earth element, bringing up gusts of dust and whistling towards the old man, or summoning sharp earth spikes from the ground, shooting towards the old man's location like bamboo shoots after a rain, each move ruthless and merciless.

The two of them exchanged blows like this, and in the blink of an eye, they had fought more than a dozen rounds.

The old man felt increasingly棘手 as he fought, and thought to himself, originally, he thought that with his own strength, taking down the opponent in front of him should be a piece of cake, but he didn't expect that Earthshadow's defense was so solid and his counterattack was so fierce, that he couldn't subdue him for a while.

Seeing that continuing the stalemate was not a solution, the old man had the idea of summoning his companions to help, after all, having one more helper would increase his chances of winning by several points.

At the moment when the old man was distracted and preparing to secretly use the summoning technique, Shadow, who had been lurking in the dark, seized this excellent opportunity.

He appeared from the void like a ghost, his entire being seemed to blend into the surrounding darkness, without revealing any aura, making it difficult for people to detect his approach.

At the moment of his appearance, Shadow struck, and a dagger emitting a cold, ghostly light appeared in his hand at some point. The dagger seemed to be surrounded by wisps of black aura, exuding a deadly dangerous aura.

Iden and Edmund heard the order and replied in unison: "Yes, Your Highness!"

Both of them were seventh-level knights, and at this moment, they exuded a powerful aura, their eyes full of determination and resolution.

Having said that, the two of them quickly led the Royal Guard Knights under their command and began to act in an orderly manner.

Iden took the lead, commanding a part of the knights to gallop towards the various entrances and exits of the town, the sound of horses' hooves reverberating, raising a cloud of dust.

After reaching the designated position, the knights quickly formed a formation, pointing their spears in unison at the possible directions within the town. The cold spear tips reflected a chilling light in the sunlight, as if silently warning the people in the town that anyone who dared to disobey the order and try to break out would face a ruthless attack.

Edmund was also unambiguous on his side. He led another group of knights to patrol back and forth around the town, closely monitoring the surrounding movements, ensuring that there were no omissions in any corner.

The warhorses under them stepped in a neat pace, and the sound of their steps was like a battle song, demonstrating the discipline and majesty of the Royal Guard Knights.
