Fate Online: Shadow-Chapter 407 - Holy Knight

Chapter 407 - Holy Knight

It was supposed to be a plan to lure out the Lich King that's commanding the undead horde at the back, but the one that made an appearance was its Death Knight instead and landed on a predicament where its army is slowly dwindling by the minute.

A result of its arrogance and for underestimating its enemies.

After all, Solitary Tempest and the others were just baits to lure out the big dogs.

The Death Knight probably wasn't expecting that the target had turned towards it when it came out to play and thought the allied army was just trying to gain an advantage on them by pushing them back and recovering their lands lost when they suddenly started attacking in full force!

Of course as a high ranking undead, it also has the ability to resurrect the dead. So it kept using it while fighting the Human General, the only problem is that they are as weak as a goblin, which makes them very useless, a waste of the Death Knight's mana as the level of resurrected undeads isn't comparable to the ones resurrected by the Lich King.

And thanks to the timely appearance of the Imperial Cavalry, Solitary Tempest and the group finally managed to regroup with Moniker and Zabuto.

"You two, okay?" Viper said with a mocking look on his face.

Moniker just snorted and said, "Tsk, shut it" while receiving a couple of [Great Heal] from the Priests.

Ripley looked at the battle between the two BOSSES and said aloud, "Should we lend a hand?"

Black Sparrow smiled amiably and replied, "Of course, isn't this what we came here for?"

The others who weren't part of Revenants Guild could only gasp hearing the conversation taking place and one of them said, "Wait what? What are you guys talking about?! This wasn't part of the plan at all!"

[Starfall!]

[Shadow Knives]

[Reaper Strike!]

"Holy f*ck! Stop! You guys are so f*cking crazy!"

Solitary Tempest on the other hand, just laughed dryly watching Viper and the others who had already charged forward and started attacking the Death Knight with the old general while saying…

"Now I truly understand why Michael is friends with these people, they're all peas in the same pod. People who just love causing trouble" before following them.

Looking at the people from Revenant Guild rushing towards the Death Knight without hesitation, the players who joined them on this quest could only look at them with a dumbfounded look on their faces.

"These people are crazy!"

"They're lunatics! This wasn't part of the plan!"

"Shut it, we're already crazy the moment we accepted this mission! I only joined this bandwagon because of the presence of the people from Revenants!"

"But this must be why they are so strong! They never hesitate to hunt down a monster stronger than them! Allowing them to level up faster! It was the right choice that I didn't go with the people from Wandering Souls! Only stupid people would let go of this opportunity" The moment the person were saying those words, his eyes quickly lit up in excitement and hurriedly summoned his mount and immediately followed after the trail of Solitary Tempest and the rest.

"EXP points, here I come! Hahaha!"

Then the others looked at each other, before they hurriedly summoned their mounts and followed after the rest when they finally realized that what the man said had a point!

After all, the members of the Revenant Guild are known for their high levels and overpowered items that had exceeded most of the players already, and probably only the nine major guild leaders and a few rankers could be on par with them.

"Motherf*cker! We have gone bat sh*t crazy for doing this!" a player holding a bow couldn't help but shout with a mad look on his face as he still couldn't believe what the f*ck he's trying to do!

"Hahaha! I know, right~?!" replied a fellow player who was also laughing crazily as they just followed along the crowd, either willing or not, because both options lead to death, especially the latter one.

So they'd rather follow the rest of the flock and bet on the fact that they wouldn't be among the casualties facing the Mini Boss, the Death Knight.

Solitary Tempest charged over and jumped out from her mount, brandishing her Scythe towards the Death Knight.

A large shadow figure appeared behind her as her weapon started getting coated in a cloud like deathly aura.

[Soul Crash!]

Similar to a Warrior's [Wind Blade], Solitary Tempest's attack flew towards the Death Knight like a knife cutting through the butter unimpeded!

The Death Knight who was focused on his fight against the old general, and ignored the small fries around him suddenly flinched when he felt a very familiar aura approaching him fast.

He immediately whipped his bony head around and saw the attack that Solitary Tempest had sent hurling towards him, and it quickly infuriated him!

"Foolish! Did you think that had any effects on me?!" The Death Knight roared angrily as he just slapped the [Soul Crash] to the side, like it was nothing at all.

Solitary Tempest smiled and said, "I wasn't planning on doing that though"

The Death Knight was about to say something when a burst of light filled with holy energy emerged on his side, and when it whipped his head around, it saw the Human General holding a ten meter long golden sword made of pure holy energy and staring at him with a determined look on his face.

The aura of the holy sword was so powerful that the undead near the vicinity had turned into ashes, while those who barely got hit by the aura crumbled onto the ground in pieces!

"We were planning to use this for your Lich King, and you just had to come and die! Be honored Death Knight, because you're dying under this sword!"

[Sword of Judgement!]

The old man gave a yell as he slashed the humongous sword down towards the Death Knight who was just staring at it while muttering something in shock!

"Why? Why do you have that skill?! We have already exterminated the Holy Church in the last Race War!" The Death Knight was indignant and in despair as it wasn't expecting to see something that should have disappeared a long time ago!

The Death Knight didn't even bother resisting, as he knew that he wouldn't be able to survive even if he tried.

The Holy Sword didn't slice the Death Knight into pieces, but it just went past through its body, before it slowly started turning into ashes as its HP that was still half full earlier was immediately bottomed out.

"H...how…" muttered the Death Knight in question while unwillingly looking at the Human General.

The old general half knelt on the ground, panting with his sword as a support while his men immediately circled around him.

He weakly looked at the dying Death Knight, smiled slightly and said, "Because I am the last generation….of the Holy Knights"

"I see...so someone.. still...survived...in the...end...we were...care-"

The Death Knight didn't manage to finish what it wanted to say, before his last bit of bones and consciousness disappeared into the wind, which were followed by the death of the undead it had summoned.

The old general smiled, before his body leaned forward as he fell on the ground.

Thud!

"General!"

Some of his men quickly dismounted from their horses and quickly checked up on the old man, before a group of them hurriedly brought him away while the rest stayed and continued their clash with the remaining undead on their side.

Meanwhile, the players who were just planning to land their fifth volley of attacks looked at the scene before them with dumbfounded looks on their faces.

"What the heck?"

"What the hell...just happened?"

[Ding!]

[World Announcement! The mini-boss [Death Knight, Aradon] has been slain!]

[Rewards...]

[...]

But when they saw the world announcement echoing in the sky, and the notification that appeared before their eyes, they immediately felt their blood boiling in excitement and raised their weapons in the air!

""Ahhhhh!""

"We didn't do sh*t, but this is awesome!"

"Hooray!"
