Chapter 53 - 53 53 Calling for Dad at the Moment of Life and Death

53: Chapter 53: Calling for Dad at the Moment of Life and Death 53: Chapter 53: Calling for Dad at the Moment of Life and Death Lu Hong finally stopped the force of his charge after smashing through several walls, which showed that the knight had strength at least of the Second Transition, Second Level.

“Come out, I know you’re not dead!” The knight plunged into the dusty building, searching for Lu Hong’s figure.

At that moment, Lu Hong was hiding behind a pillar, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

This knight was really shameless, launching a surprise attack like that, he wondered how the Holy Light taught its followers.

“Come out!” The knight carefully observed his surroundings, his shield already gathering a considerable amount of Holy Light power, ready to unleash a Holy Light Strike the moment he located Lu Hong.

“Daddy’s right here!” Upon seeing the knight step into his attack range, Lu Hong thrust his sword forward.

Clang!

The knight deflected Lu Hong’s blade with precision, then pushed with his shield.

“Not good!” Lu Hong was shocked and hurriedly executed the ultimate move “Rolling Donkey.”

The shield suddenly emitted a strong beam of Holy Light, piercing through the entire row of houses’ walls with enormous power!

“Go to hell!” The knight, seeing Lu Hong dodge, swung his sword down again.

The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle, with neither side willing to give in.

The Magus Slayer he killed before actually wasn’t very strong in close combat.

It was only because he had thought Lu Hong was paralyzed by the thunder that he hadn’t expected to engage in close quarters.

But this knight was different.

His foundation was solid, and his skill in using the shield for defense was extremely high.

No matter how furiously Lu Hong attacked, he could not break through the knight’s shield.

What a tough nut!

Lu Hong cursed under his breath.

Knights of a higher level than him were truly difficult to deal with, especially a Second Transition Holy Knight, with all their defensive skills that made your scalp tingle and seemingly impenetrable defenses.

A Holy Knight actually didn’t have many attack skills, other than the Holy Shield Strike he had used at the beginning and the beam of light he had just fired, which is why normally every Holy Knight must handle their weapon proficiently, or else they would be nothing but a punching bag.

“You can’t break my defense, just die obediently!” The Holy Knight tilted his head slightly, and Lu Hong’s greatsword missed, striking a stone pillar next to him and leaving a deep crack.

“You, a Holy Knight, how could you get involved with the rebels?” Lu Hong pulled out his greatsword and began to gather strength.

The Holy Knight wasn’t in a hurry, confident that once the hunters outside erupted, those First Transition students would pose no challenge to him; it was just a matter of time.

“Rebels?

We are merely purging the empire!

Konstantin the Great Emperor is incompetent and oblivious; only the Eight Great Families, blessed by the Holy God, can save the empire!”

“Are you saying the Eight Great Families have rebelled?” Lu Hong’s expression changed—those families had profound resources, and it would not be too difficult for them to upheave the entire empire.

“It’s not a rebellion; it’s a cleansing!” The Holy Knight corrected, “We are merely heeding the call of the Eight Great Families.

For the future of the empire, what is the harm in sacrificing oneself?”

“That’s not sacrifice; that’s betrayal!

With many external threats to the empire, didn’t you think about the possibility of annihilation when you started this rebellion!” Lu Hong roared.

He was well aware of the external threats to the empire—the Snowy Region to the north, orcs to the west, although the eastern seas were safe for now, the restless elves loomed to the south.

Even the Snowy Region alone, if it invaded the empire in full force, how could they fight back without the nation’s combined effort?

“This is a necessary process for the metamorphosis of the empire; under the leadership of the Eight Great Families, the empire will surely become even stronger and more prosperous!

United Continent of God’s Grace,” the Holy Knight said, utterly convinced of his belief.

“Idiot!” Lu Hong, having fully charged his power, swung out his sword.

Huh?

The Holy Knight, who was prepared to defend, realized the attack’s lack of force and just stepped back a bit, the blade posing no threat at all: “Did you exhaust all your strength?

Your last hit had made my hands go numb.”

“No, I still have plenty of strength.” Lu Hong struck the same pillar again, cracking a smile: “I’ve got companions waiting outside for rescue, so I’m not going to play with you anymore.”

“You won’t escape!” The Holy Knight saw Lu Hong fleeing and quickly chased after him.

“War Challenge!” Lu Hong suddenly turned around and threw himself into the strike with all his might.

“Useless, I told you, you can’t break my defense!” The Holy Knight held up his large shield, and Lu Hong’s blow sent him retreating more than ten meters away, but still, it didn’t inflict any real damage.

“I never intended to hurt you, but bye-bye,” Lu Hong waved his hand and dashed outwards.

“Don’t even think about running.” The Holy Knight was about to get up and pursue when the whole building suddenly shook.

“Holy shit!” The Holy Knight’s face turned pale as, under Lu Hong’s sword skill’s infusion, the building collapsed thunderously, crushing the Holy Knight beneath it.

Lu Hong had timed it right and dashed out of the building in the last second.

He hit the ground rolling several times to stabilize himself.

Looking up, he saw all the students lying on the ground, heavily injured or dead, and Lock Fan was being held up by the throat, midair, by a hunter.

“Damn it!” Lock Fan’s face was red with effort; his weapon had already fallen to the ground, and he could only weakly beat the hunter with his limbs.

“Let him go!” Lu Hong shouted lowly.

“Hm?

Where’s Fuen?” The hunter casually threw Lock Fan, slamming him into the building across the street, and turned to Lu Hong with a ferocious expression.

It seemed that the three who had died previously were not his companions, but the Holy Knight was the one he cared about.

“Well, as you can see, he should be under there,” Lu Hong pointed to the collapsed building next to them.

“Very clever, but Fuen isn’t so fragile,” the hunter had great faith in Fuen’s strength, not believing that the weight of a building could kill him so easily.
