Wizard, I Have Another World – Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Rebellion

Knight!

Formal Knight!

A knight who has condensed a Life Seed has undergone a leap in their life essence compared to ordinary people.

They are

no longer the same species as ordinary people.

Their strength is comparable to that of lions and black bears, their speed is no less than that of cheetahs and tigers, and their agility is like that of eagles and falcons soaring in the sky.

After donning armor, knights are an invincible presence on the battlefield.

“Matthew!”

Seeing the newcomer, Jacqueline subconsciously clenched her hands, her eyes filled with grief and helplessness.

Matthew, Captain of the Seventh Squad of the City Guard.

He was also the murderer who killed the leader of the Wind Whisperers.

Many of her companions and comrades died at the hands of this man, and only by kneeling and submitting like her could they survive.

“Karl is finished!”

The moment Matthew appeared, several people had already guessed the outcome. Dunlop shook his head regretfully:

“What a pity!”

If the other party hadn’t been so impulsive, they could have supported each other in exploring the path ahead. Now it’s too late to say anything.

A flash of a blade.

The heavy scimitar, weighing dozens of pounds, drew a graceful arc in the air, slashing down towards Karl.

“Clang…”

A clashing sound rang out.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Jacqueline, who had been indifferent, suddenly tensed up, her dead and dull eyes bursting with an unbelievable light.

The stagnant onlookers, their eyes seemed to suddenly have a bit of life, rippling slightly.

An emotion called hope, emerged for the first time!

The scene before them was beyond everyone’s expectations.

“A knight?”

Karl held a broadsword, his body slightly bowed, the blade firmly against the scimitar, his feet not even retreating:

“Is this all?”

Facing the sudden attack of a formal knight, he was calm and easily blocked it.

“You…” Matthew’s cheek muscles twitched, he abruptly pulled back and swung the scimitar again, the blade gleaming brightly.

Martial Skill ━ Tremor Blade!

This martial skill could imbue his scimitar with a vibrating force, making it easier to break through the opponent’s defense.

Even the tough skin of exotic beasts could be easily torn apart.

Karl raised his hand:

“Guna!”

Minor Force Field!

An invisible force field instantly enveloped the surroundings.

He had already constructed three zero-circle spells in his Sea of Consciousness, a true intermediate wizard apprentice. His mental power was condensed, and the power of his spells also increased.

The force field cast by an intermediate wizard apprentice could weaken a peak knight squire to the level of an ordinary person.

The effect on a knight was not as good, but it would still be affected.

And…

“Whoosh!”

“Clank!”

With a flash of light from the ring, a suit of armor automatically appeared, firmly enveloping Karl.

In an instant, a black-armored warrior with a cold and murderous aura appeared in the scene.

This scene…

Even Matthew, the knight who was his opponent, was greatly shocked, looking at Karl in disbelief.

What is this?

Where did the armor come from?

And how did he put it on?

“Clang…”

The broadsword once again blocked the incoming scimitar.

“Hmph!”

Karl let out a cold snort, his physique of nearly 1.5 erupted with terrifying strength, pressing towards the opponent.

His strength was already greater than that of ordinary knights, not to mention the suppression of the force field.

Matthew’s body trembled, the scimitar in his hand slowly retreated, his entire body being pressed down and bent. In the contest of strength, he, as a knight, was actually at a disadvantage.

“Ah!”

Amidst a roar…

Matthew’s figure spun, the scimitar in his hand slashing out afterimages.

Martial Skill ━ Revolving Blade!

In a head-on confrontation and contest of strength, he was no match for Karl, so he had to avoid the direct confrontation.

“Hmph!”

Seeing this, Karl snorted coldly, wielding the broadsword in his hand.

Martial Skill ━ Gale Slash!

Seven sword shadows appeared out of thin air, colliding with the incoming afterimages, the rapid impacts like raindrops hitting banana leaves.

Terrifying power erupted as the blades collided, a gale swept through, and the two figures crazily clashed.

And the one above…

Was Karl!

Fury Strike!

Slash!

Karl was like a black-armored warrior without any emotional fluctuations, rapidly wielding the giant sword, slashing towards his opponent.

In terms of martial skills…

He was not as good as Matthew.

Gale Swordsmanship was alright at the knight squire stage, but it was indeed not considered good for a formal knight.

But relying on pure strength and the armor on his body, he had been suppressing Matthew from the beginning, forcing him to retreat again and again.

Every heavy slash made the opponent’s body tremble violently, and his blocking stance was on the verge of collapse.

“Captain!”

At this moment…

Several soldiers rushed out of the passage again. Seeing the situation, their expressions changed drastically, and they drew their weapons and charged towards Karl.

“Hu…”

Figures moved.

Jacqueline, with a scar on her face, suddenly struck, her longsword intercepting the soldiers.

“What are you doing?”

The soldier’s eyes turned cold, and he shouted angrily:

“Get out of the way if you don’t want to die!”

“You’re the ones who are going to die.” Dunlop from the Shadow League chuckled softly, and at the same time, he dashed out, the two short spears in his hands thrusting fiercely at one of the soldiers.

The others also made their moves.

“Attack!”

“Kill them, follow Brother Karl and charge out!”

“Clang, clang, clang…”

“Pfft!”

Whether it was Jacqueline or Dunlop, they were both peak knight squires, their strength far exceeding that of ordinary soldiers.

In the blink of an eye…

A City Guard soldier fell to the ground.

“Where there is oppression, there will be resistance.”

Bard Mond raised his arm, flicking out a soft sword, and using his agile movements, he pounced on the remaining soldiers.

“Attack!”

Little Nan’s face was filled with ecstasy:

“Kill them!”

Leon, however, curled his lips. If there really was resistance wherever there was oppression, why didn’t you resist earlier?

It’s only because you see an opportunity, a hope, that you dare to fight, right?

Immediately, he lowered his body, using the Shadow Rune, his entire person becoming like a phantom as he pounced on one of the soldiers.

Encouraged by the few, the miners in the scene stood up one after another, their dead eyes successively showing rich colors.

“Kill them!”

“Charge out!”

“We’re all going to die anyway, might as well fight!”

“…”

Their once-dissipated fighting spirit rose again, and they put down their picks and clenched their weapons.

“Clang…”

A sharp, piercing clashing sound rang out.

“Die!”

Karl stepped forward and slashed furiously, the broadsword carrying immense force as it fell from above, knocking away the scimitar and landing on Matthew’s neck.

The blade flashed.

“Pfft!”

Blood splattered.

The knight…

Died!

“Haha…”

Jacqueline laughed wildly:

“A knight!”

“Karl, you actually killed a knight! No matter what the outcome is today, I’m following you.”

Karl’s entire body was covered in armor, including his face. No one could see the change in his expression. They only saw him gently flick the blood off the blade.

“Let’s go!”

He dashed forward, slashing his sword and killing the two soldiers who were still resisting, charging upwards.

Footsteps approached from ahead.

They could vaguely see the figures of two City Guard soldiers.

Karl raised his hand.

Magic Missile!

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

A glimmer of light appeared out of thin air, shooting towards the oncoming City Guard soldiers, piercing through them like sharp arrows.

The power of Magic Missile was not as strong as the Fire Rune, but its casting speed was fast, its attack range was long, and it was not easily detected, especially in an environment like the underground.

The key was that it consumed very little mental power.

Karl, as an intermediate wizard apprentice, could easily kill unarmored soldiers with Magic Missile.

If he encountered armored soldiers, he had the Fire Rune to deal with them.

With spells from afar and martial skills up close, Karl, clad in armor, led the charge, the first to rush out of the tunnel.

“Eh?”

Jacqueline’s face was full of surprise:

“Why are there so few people?”

Karl’s strength was unexpected, but they hadn’t encountered any decent resistance along the way, as if the City Guard had collectively resigned.

Even if the guards were slacking off, it wouldn’t be to this extent.

“Thud!”

Just as the group was surprised, a figure fell from above, twitching lifelessly after hitting the ground.

“Someone from the City Guard?”

Dunlop looked up, his ears twitching, hearing the sounds of fighting above. He couldn’t help but show surprise:

“Someone else is rebelling!”

“An opportunity.”

Jacqueline’s spirits lifted:

“Let’s charge!”

“I said, oppression will inevitably lead to resistance.” Mond smiled:

“It’s true!”

Tunnel.

More than ten corpses lay on the ground.

There were armored City Guard soldiers and ragged miners.

“Thud!”

Two figures collided in the air.

Although there were only two people, they exuded a powerful aura as if thousands of people were fighting on the battlefield.

“Holy Law!”

The middle-aged man in worn armor held a longsword, his face serious as he looked directly at his opponent, Barnard.

As he uttered two syllables with a holy aura, a soft white light emanated from him, and the Yin Energy that permeated the surroundings dispersed.

The dark underground tunnel was as bright as day at this moment.

“Holy Light?”

Barnard gritted his steel teeth:

“The goddess you protect has long since fallen!”

“Get lost!”

Amidst the roar, the Life Force within him instantly boiled, like a volcano about to erupt.

This caused his body to swell slightly, his entire person seeming to grow larger, and a strange blood-red secretion appeared on the surface of his skin.

Martial Skill ━ Roar!

Powerful strength surged from within him, flowing along his tendons, bones, and muscles, merging into the longsword in his hand.

“Boom!”

An invisible aura emerged.

In the perception of others, Barnard was like a burning human-shaped flame, every move exuding terrifying power.

Battle Aura!

After knights condensed a Life Seed within their bodies, they could release Battle Aura when they reached a certain level.

Battle Aura was invisible and intangible, but it had astonishing destructive power.

Holy Light and Battle Aura collided.

One was like a devout soul, emitting a pure radiance, the longsword piercing through the gloom, bringing hope.

The other symbolized pure destruction, a terrifying aura spreading throughout the scene, the surrounding ground trembling.

At the moment of their collision, the fighting crowd nearby felt a chill all over their bodies, involuntarily stopping their movements, subconsciously wanting to get away.

“Clang!”

“Clang, clang…”

The ear-piercing clashing sounds echoed back and forth in the tunnel. For a time, they could only see the sword shadows interweaving, but couldn’t clearly see the figures moving back and forth.

In a corner not far away, the child named Lane looked worried:

“Uncle Russell!”

“Don’t disturb him.”

Someone hugged Lane and retreated:

“Holy Knights fear nothing. Mr. Russell will win. He promised to take us away, and he will definitely do it.”

“Thud!”

Before he finished speaking, the two figures in the scene suddenly separated. Holy Knight Russell rolled and flew backwards for more than ten meters.

“What a Holy Knight.”

Barnard looked down at the sword wound on his chest, a hint of fear appearing on his face:

“If you were at your full strength, I definitely wouldn’t be your opponent, but unfortunately…”

“You’re not!”

“Thud!”

He leaped up, swinging his sword fiercely.

Russell rolled over to block, coughing up blood from time to time.

He was once a powerful knight, but due to some reason, he was seriously injured. Every time he fought after that, it was at the cost of consuming his Life Force.

He could still handle ordinary opponents, but he was far from being able to deal with a formal knight who possessed Battle Aura.

Holy Sword Technique!

With a focused mind, pure faith allowed him to instantly suppress the distracting thoughts in his heart, controlling his body to block with his sword.

Holy Knights…

Would never admit defeat, even in death.

They feared nothing, even in the face of death, they could bravely wield their swords.

“Get down!”

Barnard roared furiously. The Killer Whale Swordsmanship he practiced was wide and powerful, every sword strike carrying a howling Battle Aura.

“Get down!”

“Get down!”

“…”

“Whoosh!”

Seeing that the opponent was about to fall, his vision went dark. A black-armored warrior suddenly appeared in the scene, charging forward with a gust of wind.

Who?

There was no time to think. Barnard swung his sword.

“Clang…”

The two swords collided.

Barnard felt as if he had crashed into the head of a charging rhinoceros, his strength suddenly stagnating.

Then, his entire person, along with the longsword in his hand, was directly knocked flying.

“Die!”

Karl swung his broadsword, pressing his attack.

Martial Skill ━ Eagle Strike!

Martial Skill ━ Gale Slash!

His figure flashed, approaching Barnard, the broadsword swung, seven afterimages along with the main body whistling down.

“Clang…”

“Clang, clang…”

“Thud!”

Barnard’s expression changed drastically. He exerted all his strength to wield the longsword in his hand, his feet rapidly retreating.

But no matter how he retreated or dodged, he couldn’t avoid the dense and relentless attacks.

“Thud!”

The broadsword cut through his block, hitting him squarely in the chest.

In mid-air, countless ribs were broken under this blow, his body heavily smashing against the wall, slowly sliding down like a hanging painting.

His hand loosened.

The longsword clattered to the ground.

He was breathing more and inhaling less, his eyes lifeless, his life fading fast.

“Battle Aura?”

Karl sneered and shook his head:

“Quite a reputation, but nothing much!”

He had been preparing for a long time, waiting for the right opportunity to launch a sneak attack, but in the end, the opponent couldn’t even withstand a combo attack before collapsing.

Of course…

He knew very well that he had only taken advantage of the situation. If they were to fight head-on, it was still unknown who would win.

“Pfft!”

Russell coughed up blood, a wry smile on his face.

If he hadn’t consumed most of Barnard’s strength, this person, though strong, wouldn’t have won so easily.

However…

“Thank you!”

Struggling to stand up, Russell bowed:

“I don’t know your name, but I will repay you when we get out.”

“Now is not the time to talk about this, let’s get out first.” Karl waved his hand and said in a muffled voice:

“What are your plans?”

He hadn’t expected that there would be other people rebelling, and there was even a knight among them. But this was just right.

They had been very successful in fighting their way here.

They had even dealt with Barnard, who should have been the most troublesome opponent.

“Save people!”

Russell’s expression turned serious:

“There are still people imprisoned by the City Guard in other tunnels. They shouldn’t be here, they should be free.”

Hmm?

Karl’s face showed surprise.

He had been in Black City for so long, and what he had seen the most was deceit and treachery. He hadn’t encountered many kind-hearted people.

This person was an anomaly.

A Holy Knight?

“Alright!”

Nodding, Karl said:

“You go save people, I’ll go ahead and scout the way. In case the City Guard reinforcements come, you’d better hurry.”

“Yes.”

Russell nodded:

“I understand.”

The situation was urgent, and the two parted ways. Karl took the lead, using Fire Rune and Magic Missile to clear the path.

Even if someone rushed towards him, he was fearless in his heavy armor.

Moreover…

Jacqueline and the others were following him. If they encountered scattered City Guard soldiers, they would also deal with them.

“Thud!”

Karl kicked open a wooden door, swinging his sword and killing the two people inside. A smile appeared on his face.

This was the City Guard’s warehouse.

In addition to mountains of food, there were all kinds of weapons, bows and arrows, and even rare “collectibles.”

“Uncle!”

Little Nan rushed in and rubbed his eyes vigorously:

“I’m not dreaming, am I?”

“So much… so much…” Leon stammered, his face looking as if he were in a dream:

“So much food!”

In his eyes, there was only food.

Seeing this, Jacqueline, Mond, and the others exchanged glances and quietly retreated.

They were smart.

They knew that with Karl around, the things inside weren’t something they could touch.

And the most important thing at this time was to escape from the underground. Otherwise, no matter how much they gained, it would all be in vain.

“Mr. Karl.”

Jacqueline spoke from outside the door:

“We’ll go ahead and scout the way.”

“Hmm.”

Karl nodded:

“Be careful.”

“Without knights, we fear nothing.” Jacqueline smiled, waved her hand, and led the others forward.

Karl’s gaze fell on a corner of the room.

Unlike other places…

The things in the corner were mostly kept in boxes.

“Click!”

He opened a box.

Pieces of exotic beast meat, Rune Seeds, precious items, and even Inheritance Runes were in plain sight.

“Take them!”

Taking a deep breath, Karl said:

“Choose the valuable things, take as much as you can!”

“Hmm.”

Little Nan and Leon’s eyes lit up, nodding heavily.
