Wizard Immortal

Chapter 321 Taking Action

Boom!!

A tremendous sound erupted from the spot. In that instant, the two figures crossed paths simultaneously, and then one of them flew rapidly into the distance, crashing heavily into a wall and creating a huge crater.

That was Anum, who now had a shocking wound on his chest, from which blood was flowing continuously, and his internal organs could be vaguely seen.

He was, after all, just a Sky Knight, and was still a long way from being a titled knight like Oris. Not to mention that his severed limbs had only been reattached by Adir not long ago, and he had not yet fully adapted to them.

There was no chance of luck; he was utterly crushed by Oris the moment they made contact, unable to withstand even a single blow.

Looking at the pitiful state of Anum before him, Oris stood rooted to the spot, his breathing unsteady, and a murderous intent flickered in his eyes as he stared at Anum.

He quickly stepped forward, seemingly unwilling to show any mercy and intending to take this opportunity to finish off Anum.

But just as he took a step, his figure paused and stopped abruptly.

As a seasoned and powerful warrior, Oris clearly sensed a chilling sense of danger approaching from behind, causing his gaze to instantly turn serious.

bump!!

The sound of metal clashing echoed in place, carrying with it the vibrations and collisions of life energy.

Caught off guard, Adir unleashed a burst of power, thrusting his longsword at his opponent, which collided with the opponent's sword.

Two streams of life energy erupted instantly, their power transmitted to each other through the longsword.

In an instant, Oris's expression changed, and his hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

"How can there be such a huge amount of life energy?!" This thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but be shocked as he looked at Adir.

In the collision with Adir, he could clearly feel the life energy emanating from Adir. Although powerful, it was only at the level of an ordinary Sky Knight, far inferior to his own.

However, despite some deficiencies in quality, the quantity reached a level that shocked and puzzled him, almost several times his own, which greatly surprised him.

This is the benefit of having strong vitality.

Although Adir was only a Sky Knight, he had already far surpassed that level in terms of life essence.

The vitality of a level two wizard, combined with the enhancement of the moon elf bloodline, gives Adir powerful vitality and physical attributes.

In this respect, not to mention the Sky Knight, even the true Radiant Knight is only on par with him.

With a strong physique and vitality, one's life energy will increase accordingly. Although it cannot compare with Oris in quality, it is enough to suppress him in quantity.

"Could he be a royal descendant?" At that moment, this thought suddenly popped into Oris's mind.

As a titled knight and a noble family with a history spanning hundreds of years, he has stood at the pinnacle of the Maran Empire, possessing knowledge of many things that ordinary nobles cannot access.

The term "royal descendants" literally means the offspring of a king.

Legend has it that during the epic era tens of thousands of years ago, there was a period of great glory.

During that period, one progenitor knight after another emerged, wreaking havoc across the world, their power shaking the entire world.

Historians who later studied this period called it the era of the rise of many kings. Each of the pioneering knights who achieved greatness at that time would have been a king who could unify the entire world like the King of the Earth if placed in later generations.

Therefore, in this world, the descendants of the progenitor knights are called royal descendants.

As descendants of kings, these royal descendants will awaken various talents once they awaken their bloodline. Not only will their knightly talents far surpass those of ordinary people, but they may also inherit certain traits from their ancestors.

Faced with Adir's terrifying performance, Oris immediately thought of the royal bloodline.

Before he could think any further, the burst of life energy began again right before his eyes.

boom!!

A violent explosion suddenly rang out, accompanied by wisps of battle energy, some silver and some blue.

Upon seeing this, Oris and Adir both retreated, their expressions becoming somewhat serious.

Composing himself, Adir looked calmly at Oris before him and swung his sword down.

The silver Moon King's Sword instantly shone brightly, with streaks of silver life energy flashing across it. It instantly transformed into a terrifying silver sword beam, rushing towards the distance.

To Oris's astonishment, the sword's ultimate target was not him, but a corner of a wall in the distance.

There, a middle-aged man, dressed in tattered black clothes with a large dent in his chest, was struggling to support himself against the wall. His face looked very pale. He was the same middle-aged man who had attacked Adir earlier.

He had been standing there watching the battle, thinking that everything would be settled after Oris made his move, but he never expected Adir to suddenly emerge as a dark horse.

At this moment, as he looked at the silver sword light approaching from afar, his expression changed drastically, and his eyes revealed horror and fear.

His first instinct was to escape, but the severe injuries he had sustained were still there. Even as a Sky Knight, it was already quite a feat to stand there, let alone try to escape quickly.

"Damn it!" Seeing this scene, Oris cursed inwardly, but his actions were without the slightest hesitation. He rushed in front of the middle-aged man and blocked the silver battle aura with his sword.

Taking advantage of this moment, Adir had already walked up to Anum, picked him up with one hand, and rushed out quickly, showing no intention of continuing the battle with Oris.

On the other side, looking at Adir's figure in the distance, Oris's expression was uncertain. Looking at the middle-aged man behind him who was unable to move, after hesitating for a while, he ultimately did not pursue him.

Training Sky Knights is no easy feat. Even for a long-established knightly noble family like Count Oris, there are only two Sky Knights in the family, and they cannot afford to lose them easily.

Losing a Sky Knight just to chase after Adir and his companion is simply not worth it.

After all, today's attack wasn't solely the work of the eldest prince's side. The Turing Cult was the main force behind it, so there was no need for them to personally engage in a life-or-death struggle.

Especially Adir, who is suspected to be a royal descendant, has a terrifying level of life energy within him. Even if he, a veteran titled knight, were to personally take action, he might not be able to defeat him in a short time.

Thinking of this, Oris's previously unpredictable expression gradually returned to calm. Watching Adir's disappearing figure, he felt somewhat solemn and regretful at the same time.

"What a pity. An awakened royal descendant. If he could be brought to the Crown Prince's camp, perhaps a true Radiant Knight could be cultivated." He looked at Adir in the distance, feeling regretful. "It's a pity that such a person chose to side with that princess."

"Since you refuse to surrender, then we'll just have to find an opportunity to get rid of you."

His gaze drifted into the distance, as if he could see rows of swords and corpses in the distance.

Step...step...

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed from the spot.

On a grassy field, Adir carried Anum on his back and walked quickly into the distance. His speed was so fast that even the sprint champions of his previous life would be ashamed.

However, due to concerns about Anum's injuries, his speed was not very fast, at least far from his limit, and even slower than that of ordinary Sky Knights.

Fortunately, there are only a limited number of Sky Knights in this manor. Apart from Oris and the other two, it would be very difficult to encounter a third Sky Knight.

As for the other great knights, let alone being unable to keep up with Adir's speed, even if they did catch up, it would only take them one sword strike at most.

boom!!

At that moment, a loud bang came from afar, accompanied by the clanging of metal against metal from weapons clashing together.

"It's from the princess's side!!" Hearing the voice and determining its direction and distance, Anum's expression changed drastically; his already pale face became even more ashen. "Something's happened! Count Oris really is going to attack us!!"

Hearing the sound, Adir's hurried pace also slowed down.

He looked in a certain direction in the distance, sensing the sounds of fighting coming from afar, and frowned, seemingly puzzled.

"Are attackers these days so bold? They don't even bother to hide anything and just start their attack right here in this manor?" He looked in the direction the voice came from, somewhat puzzled, and his expression became much more serious.

"Because that's the eldest prince." Behind him, Anum coughed a few times before finally managing to speak: "That's always been the eldest prince's style. If he wants to kill someone, he'll kill them no matter what."

"Don't think this is just Earl Oris's manor. Even if this were the royal palace, the eldest prince would still do it if he really made up his mind." He coughed up blood, his face growing paler without him realizing it. "That's the military's usual practice."

"That's really domineering and direct," Adir sighed softly.

Before deciding to pledge allegiance, Adir had also thoroughly analyzed the information of several successors of the Maran Empire, and the eldest prince, as the strongest among them, had naturally studied it as well.

This prince has always been domineering and direct. At the age of ten, he dared to fight a lion. After nearly dying, he not only felt no fear, but challenged the lion every day until he finally killed it.

Domineering and direct—this has always been the military's style, and some of the situations it has caused were even unexpected by Adir.

Just like this time, Adir thought that, given the other party's status, even if they wanted to take action against Elina, they would at least consider their reputation and the King Maran behind them.

As long as the other party has any reservations, given Alina's current situation, she can simply use the protection of Maran Academy to delay for several years, allowing the other party to focus their attention on others while she slowly accumulates her strength.

However, reality and ideals are quite different.

The other party completely disregarded the consequences and gave Alina no time whatsoever, directly ordering their subordinates to attack Alina without leaving any room for maneuver.

This domineering and direct style left Adir somewhat speechless and feeling a bit of a challenge.

"Adir." Anum's voice came from behind again.

Lying on Adir's back, he spoke with difficulty, "Put me down, Princess Elina is more important."

"I'm seriously injured. Going there now won't help you at all; in fact, it will only hold you back."

He looked at Adir and spoke with some difficulty, his voice growing softer and softer.

Looking at Anum behind him with some surprise, Adir did not, as described in some books from his previous life, refuse to abandon his companion even at the cost of his life. Instead, he nodded directly.

This choice isn't too difficult to make.

Just as the other party said, Anum was severely injured by Oris, and his combat strength was reduced to less than one-tenth. With his current strength, he would be lucky to be able to fight against a Grand Knight, let alone deal with a Sky Knight.

With this kind of strength, going to rescue Alina would be a disaster. Let alone helping her, it would be good enough if they didn't get captured and blackmailed. In the end, they would only end up harming themselves and others.

Standing still and looking up, Adir suddenly waved his hand, and a glint of silver light flashed on the silver longsword in his hand.

ah···

Several screams rang out from the spot, accompanied by the stench of blood blooming and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Adir immediately killed all the living people around him, then carried Anum to an inconspicuous little cubicle.

The small cubicle looked tiny, filled with straw, and had a faint fragrance about it.

Upon reaching this point, Adir put down Anum from his back before speaking: "You stay here and hide, don't let anyone find you."

"Okay!" Looking at the small cubicle in front of him, Anum nodded with difficulty and walked in without any hesitation.

After doing all this, Adir turned around, erased all traces, and walked away into the distance.

Meanwhile, in the distance, a fierce battle was also beginning.

Bang! Boom!

Several loud noises rang out in the spacious hall.

Dozens of knights stood in formation, each carrying an aura of life energy, and were currently engaged in fierce combat.

In the center of the knights, Alina, dressed in a red robe, was gradually gathering red battle aura as she looked solemnly at the person opposite her.

They were several men dressed in black robes, almost entirely covered in black robes, with only their dark, inky eyes showing.

These people had eyes that held a deathly stillness and calmness, along with an extremely obvious sense of fanaticism and madness, which combined to create a highly contradictory feeling.

On the foreheads of these people, a triangular mark gradually emerged, with a horizontal eye in the center, exuding a strong sense of majesty, symbolizing that these people were indeed descendants of the Turing Dynasty.

"People from the Turing Cult?" Looking at the group of black-robed figures with triangular markings on their foreheads, Alina spoke up with a serious expression.

However, none of the black-robed men spoke when she spoke; they simply stood still, their lifeless yet crazed eyes fixed on her.

These individuals were all very strong, radiating life energy befitting Sky Knights, yet they all possessed excellent natural beauty. Despite their overwhelming numerical advantage, none of them took the initiative to attack; they simply watched Alina quietly, seemingly intending to surround and kill her here.
