Chapter 76: Demon Knight

Their movements were fast enough.

But Gune had long been prepared, and moreover, Gune's speed was faster than they imagined.

The moment the other side made a move.

Gune locked onto the fifth-rank caster who charged in through the window.

This was a fire elementalist.

In his hand was an already activated high-level anti-magic scroll; if it hit Gune, it could directly seal Gune's source pool.

Just like the 'Source Sea Prison Cage' back on the ocean.

Even if it was only a high-level anti-magic scroll, without a corresponding countermeasure, it would be enough to lock Gune's source pool for a minute or two.

Therefore, Gune's first priority was to take him out.

The moment this fire elementalist shattered the glass.

Single-second stacking erupted wildly, and dense little thunderflame curses shot through in rapid succession.

The second little thunderflame curse broke the fire elemental's flame shield.

Then the third, fourth, fifth, and even the tenth fourth-rank little thunderflame curse viciously pierced through the fire elementalist's body.

With a dull 'thump!'

The fire elementalist's rather frail frame was electrocuted to death by Gune mid-leap.

When he crashed heavily to the ground, his corpse was nearly cooked by the electricity.

Gune's spell release speed was so fast, coupled with the soul-paralysis effect of the little thunderflame curse.

It directly denied this fifth-rank elementalist any chance to activate the high-level anti-magic scroll in his hand.

The fifth-rank shadowdancer, still in stealth, felt the heart-stopping energy brush past and viciously pierce the fire elementalist.

His inner shock was imaginable.

How could such a powerful spell be released so quickly?

The instant he electrocuted the fifth-rank elementalist, Gune moved his feet and darted into the room.

Because in the corridor, flames were already surging in.

The powerful sixth-rank demon knight had already charged over.

The sixth-rank demon knight was fast, and his aura was very dangerous; in this cramped space, Gune was not in a good position to fight him.

The moment Gune entered, the hidden shadowdancer reacted half a beat faster than Gune.

His dagger slashed viciously at Gune's neck.

With a 'bang!'

The blood shield withstood the fifth-rank shadowdancer's blow.

Gune estimated that the arc could still block a second strike.

But blocking this one strike was enough; it bought Gune a tiny bit of time.

In that split second, Gune cast the Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Curse, which instantly bloomed inside the room.

Then Gune's form turned into a flash of blood light and jumped straight out through the broken window.

The floor Gune was staying on was the twenty-fifth. At such a height, with the puppet secret thread in hand, Gune was not worried about jumping down.

Even if he crashed directly onto the ground, it would be the stone tiles that shattered, not Gune's body.

After him!

Without any hesitation, the fifth-rank shadowdancer leaped and followed like a shadow out the window.

Unfortunately, he pursued too closely.

The moment he jumped out the window.

He saw purple lightning interweaving toward him.

Startled, the fifth-rank shadowdancer knew well the fate of the fifth-rank fire elementalist—electrocuted until his whole body smoked, dead beyond dead.

With a slight twist of his body, he instantly activated Shadow Walk.

He vanished from the spot, and three little thunderflame curses that shot through in succession missed.

Eh? He still had time to react. Fifth-rank shadowdancers are already high-rank transcendents, with quite decent skills, Gune thought as he descended.

Too bad, you've been locked by my Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Curse.

Guided by the Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Curse.

Gune quickly unleashed a wave of little thunderflame curses.

The fifth-rank shadowdancer, who had just landed on the glass wall, immediately sensed danger approaching.

But his Shadow Walk had just landed and could not be used again.

He could only twist his body desperately to dodge this strike.

However, the guidance of the Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Curse could not be avoided by micro-movements.

Sizzle!

A purple little thunderflame curse instantly pierced his body.

The terrifying penetrating destruction power of that fourth-rank high-level curse immediately made him understand why the fire elementalist had died so miserably.

The power of this curse was terrifyingly dreadful.

Not only the flesh, but even the soul was paralyzed and stiff, hard to move.

Hit once, the shadowdancer had no chance to dodge again.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

Seven or eight dense purple electric lights interwove and directly blasted the fifth-rank shadowdancer to death.

This fifth-rank shadowdancer's tankiness was not much better than the elementalist's.

The speed and reaction of a fifth-rank shadowdancer were indeed impressive.

Too bad my speed and reaction are no slower than yours.

Overall, you were a threat to me, but not a big one.

Just after killing this fifth-rank shadowdancer.

Boom...

The outer wall of the room where Gune had jumped from exploded directly.

Debris and glass flew everywhere.

The surging flames bloomed to the extreme, illuminating the dark street all around.

You... die!

The roaring sixth-rank demon knight charged madly down from the glass wall of the twenty-something floor toward the descending Gune.

Such a commotion naturally attracted a lot of attention.

And the many bounty hunters secretly spying on Gune were carefully observing the battle from various corners.

Using the puppet thread, Gune slid directly down to the street opposite the hotel entrance.

Then.

Bang, bang, bang...

A large amount of debris rained down.

With a 'boom!'

The sixth-rank demon knight from over twenty floors up made a hard landing.

The ground beneath his feet sank half a meter deep, and the ground within seven or eight meters all cracked.

The fiery blast radiated outward over twenty meters.

The glass doors of the Bolaiden Hotel instantly shattered with 'bang, bang, bang...'

Many passersby caught by the flames were quickly burned, dying amidst screams and wails.

This flame was no ordinary flame; it was lava fire from hell.

With the demon knight's brutal landing.

Screams and shouts of panic and other frantic sounds rose on the street.

Passing carriage horses also neighed in panic, trying to flee.

For a moment, the entire street was in chaos.

Fortunately, it was night, and there weren't too many people here.

Soon, many pedestrians fled the area.

Whoosh...

Thick dark red flames spread continuously from the demon knight's body, turning an area of six or seven meters into a sea of fire.

Plants within thirty or forty meters of the street, decorations in the hotel lobby, and nearby windows, curtains, doors, etc., all quickly caught fire; even the ground was scorched red by the flames emanating from the demon knight.

The area within thirty or forty meters around the sixth-rank demon knight was completely an ocean of fire.

When the flames burned to where Gune stood.

Gune reinforced the blood shield, which had lost about half its energy, on his body.

Six-star demon knight.

A transformation-type combat transcendent profession.

After transformation, he takes the form of a demon knight and can summon an 'elemental fire horse.'

Immune to fire attacks. Has strong resistance to various elemental attacks, spell attacks, and even source force martial techniques.

His own tankiness and defense are extremely strong; with an elemental mount, his speed is also decent, and his attack power is strong.

It can be said that the demon knight is a top-tier melee transcendent profession.

The only drawback is short reach; this guy is purely close-combat, with almost no ranged attack methods.

The flames burning on his body continuously incinerate nearby enemies.

There are very few transcendent professions that can fight a demon knight in melee.

At this moment, Gune stood across the street, not fleeing, just quietly watching this six-star sixth-rank demon knight.

It was rare to encounter such a formidable opponent.

Naturally, Gune would not let him go easily; it was just a pity about those passersby.

After a slight movement of his fingers, Gune's eyebrows twitched slightly.

This flame is very powerful; it can burn through my puppet secret thread in a few seconds. Truly hellfire. Strong-effect spell control should be impossible now.

Fortunately, the Soul-Fixing Divine Ring Curse has locked this guy firmly.

In that case, I'll just blast him directly.

The moment Gune acted.

The demon knight also moved.

Boom!

Like a missile, the demon knight charged toward Gune.

This seemed to be some kind of charge skill; the thirty-odd meters were covered almost instantly, and as he moved, he left a trail of fire like a dragon.

At the same time, a sharp flame ray pierced toward Gune's head.

Such fast speed.

Gune, silently reciting the Great Thunderflame Curse, thought to himself.

Relying on speed to dodge was already somewhat too late.

Fortunately, Gune's secondary soul had already been preparing in the shadows, and he released a Blood Escape Technique.

The advantage of dual casting was fully displayed at this moment.

During the casting cooldown of Gune's primary soul, the secondary soul could perfectly fill in.

With a flash of blood light, Gune had already appeared in the middle of the street over thirty meters away.

Perfectly avoiding the demon knight's charge attack.

By now, the nearby people had mostly fled; in such an open space, it was more suitable for Gune to fight.
