Chapter 430: Resist

Chapter 430: Resist

Editor: Tseirp

At about the same time that Abel started running, the entire Kingdom Army was also on the move.

Thanks to the by the Long-Range Diffusion Mercy of the Goddess, injuries were healed.

Of course, there were those who died in battle.

Considering they clashed with the substantial soldiers of the Djinn, it was natural.

However, despite the intense battle, especially against the Djinns minions, surprisingly few died.

But from there on was their true test.

Among the Djinns minions, the substantial soldiers were almost completely wiped out.

And even for the Djinn Garwin, creating substantial soldiers was not easy.

There is another army he can produce.

In an instant. And in large numbers.

Throughout the battlefield, phantom soldiers were being created.

The Monk squad proved to be surprisingly effective against the phantom soldiers.

That much was clear.

However, with them appearing all over the battlefield, even regular knights had to deal with them.

And for knights without the Holy Blessed Staves, even a single Phantom Soldier was quite a formidable opponent.

They had a clear shape akin to spirits, but they were vaguely corporeal.

When they attacked the cities or at the start of the war, they were created as mounted troops, but this time they were summoned dismounted.

They wielded sword-like objects in their right hands and small shields in their left.

Both their swords and shields were tangible and could inflict damage upon the knights.

Target the center! Strike the area around the throat from the center of their bodies! Thats where their magic power is concentrated. Aim there, and theyll vanish!

Such instructions spread across the entire battlefield.

When the Monk squad fought, simply touching the Phantom Soldiers with the Holy Blessed Staves was enough to make them disappear.

So, their precise weakness wasnt known, but

Experienced knights were still present, and it didnt take long for them to figure out a solution and spread it.

Of course, despite that, they were still numerous and formidable enemies.

In front of the Long-distance Diffusion Mercy of the Goddess and the priests protected by the , the Djinn Garwin just stood there, without taking any action.

Faintly smiling.

Even I have to admit, breaking through absolute magic defense is impossible for me. I accept that. But the problem is how long it can hold up.

Garwin knew well the strength of absolute magic defense deployed by light-attribute magicians.

At the same time, he knew that only high-level light magicians could use such magic, and it consumed quite a bit of magic power.

Therefore, he decided to do nothing and wait for all the priests to run out of magic power and for the absolute magic defense to collapse.

Once the absolute magical defense was down, the absurd device that healed the entire battlefield could be easily destroyed.

Then he could wipe out the knights with great magic or whatever.

But as long as this recovery device existed, he couldnt afford to let his guard down.

It would be ideal to kill everyone in one blow since killing tens of thousands of humans one by one would be quite troublesome.

Even with a great magic spell, while death would be instantaneous near the center, many would survive with serious injuries.

Humans are surprisingly tenacious creatures.

Garwin knew that from experience.

As long as there was even a little life left, they would be healed thats what this device was for.

Thats why collecting the Fragments of God by killing knights had to be left until the end.

First, he needed to destroy the device.

And in doing so, he would eliminate the priests as well.

If he could deprive them of their means of recovery, no matter how large their numbers, they would crumble.

Garwin remained surprisingly calm.

Clang.

However, some sought to defeat Garwin.

Not the knights who couldnt reach the main camp due to the phantom soldiers, but those who were originally at the main camp.

For example, the former A-rank swordsman and now King, Abel.

It was Oranj who received Abels sword.

That former commander was quite something for a human, but the Kings sword is impressive too.

Thanks, I guess.

Oranj chuckled, and Abel replied with a grim expression.

Abel understood.

The strength of the high-ranking follower before him.

(Hes not an opponent I can easily defeat)

But he didnt despair.

He had accepted the Kingdoms downfall.

But he left behind the seeds.

Now, all that remained was to give it his all!

Ill defeat you and kill Garwin.

Think youre up to the task?

Abel roared, and Oranj laughed.

And thus, their duel began.

Meanwhile.

Apart from Abel, there were others at the main camp.

Understood.

With that, Isolde hurried away.

Witnessing this, none of the Kingdoms members could move.

They could barely speak, let alone pursue the minions their legs wouldnt budge.

Even Ilarion, the most experienced one present, found himself immobilized.

Whats the matter, old man? Dont you have any more questions? Im feeling generous right now. I might just answer them.

Garwin asked the motionless Ilarion, his face twisted in a grimace.

For the Kingdoms side, gathering information was crucial

As for King Abel

(All I can do is hope he survives)

Having known Abel since he was a child, Ilarion resigned himself.

Then he asked Garwin a question.

You what do you intend to do with the Kingdom?

What do I intend to do? Obviously, Im going to destroy it, right?

Why?

Why? What a strange question. Im going to destroy it because I want to. Because I feel like it. Do I need any other reason?

Humans even if they want to, they restrain themselves.

Oh, thats because theyre weak. I get it. I used to be weak until I returned to this body, so I endured it for a long time.

Garwin chuckled as he spoke.

Then, he stopped laughing and continued.

But now that theres no need to endure, I wont.

And he grinned again and said.

Well, you could say its also a payback to Richard. If thats easier for you to accept, then thats fine too. Interpret it however you like.

Richard is likely referring to King Richard, the founder of the Kingdom of Knightley.

Who is said to have mastered magic of all attributes and reached the pinnacle of alchemy.

Legend has it that he sealed the Djinn in front of them but that was just a legend, or so they thought.

However, it seems that wasnt the case after all.

Naturally, he doesnt harbor good feelings toward the one who sealed him for over 900 years.

Well then, enough questions. Its been a while since Ive been in my own body. I want to see how much I can move around. Whos going to be my opponent?

The Djinn Garwin scanned the area deliberately.

Of course, well be your opponents.

Declared Imogen, the leader of the Valkyrie Knights.

And nodding were the vice-captain Camilla, magic commander Mew, and rescue team commander Scarlett.

And fifteen Valkyrie Knights.

Chink.

Garwin lightly took the blow from behind by Abigail, the scout leader of the Valkyrie Knights, with his left forearm.

Without hesitation, his left fist struck Abigail in the abdomen like a backhanded blow.

Abigail was sent flying.

That was the signal for the start of the battle.

O wind, by your will, be the blade that cuts through my enemies,

Due to the ultra-fast incantation, Ilarions invisible wind blade was released almost instantly.

However.

The moment Garwin chanted, the Air Slash changed its direction and flew towards Ilarion.

Ilarion barely dodged it.

Almost simultaneously, the Valkyrie Knights surged towards Garwin.

The aim was obvious.

To overwhelm with numbers!

One against fifteen, the odds seemed good

But what if its fifteen against fifteen?

To Ilarion, it seemed like there were fifteen Garwins attacking simultaneously.

He blew away almost at the same time the fifteen Valkyrie Knights.

CloningI believe its called?

Ive only heard of it in legends

Ilarion muttered, and Rashata replied.

.

Scarlett, the recovery team commander, instantly healed the Valkyrie Knights who were blown away with an instant AoE recovery spell.

Well, not bad.

Garwin said, nodding as he cracked his neck.

Then he continued.

Now then, knights of the Kingdom, what will you do? Give up?

Whos giving up?! Well be the ones to stop you!

Imogen retorted Garwins provocation head-on.

Hah. Ill give you credit for that spirit. Now come at me.
