Abe the Wizard - Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Abel was getting slower . Lord Marshall could feel it . He turned around to tell Abel to hurry up, but what he saw had him in total shock .

Every time Abel’s horse staggered for a bit, Abel moved in the same direction slightly with his body . It was like their bodies were synchronized . Forget about Lord Marshall . Such horsemanship would not be expected from someone who was born on a horse . Again, Abel has proved himself to be in a completely different league from the rest of mankind .

“I’m ready, Uncle Marshall,” Abel smiled as he finished performing his mount enhancing technique .

Abel felt really good right now . He had never been so intimate with his war horse before, and nothing could calm him and his partner down except for a good, long race .

“Open the gate!”

As Lord called for the gate to be opened, several guards came and lowered the castle gate . They quickly shut it back after Abel and Marshall went through .

As the two went out of Harry Castle, the low-ranked wolfriders started howling towards them . They wanted to spring at the two humans right away, but their commanders stood stationary at their posts . “Don’t start the attack,” their instincts told them .

As Marshal and Abel’s horses started trotting instead of galloping, Abel could feel himself very excited for the upcoming battle . Again, it wasn’t just him . His horse was ready for action, too . He could feel every inch of its muscles bulging at the sight of the wolfriders in front of them .

As Abel’s horse began to accelerate, it quickly went ahead of Lord Marshall and charged straight towards the wolfriders . Yes, it went solo into the enemy troops, and everyone was watching Abel from inside the Harry Castle . They did not know what their young master was planning, but they certainly felt admiration for his brave decision .

“Combat qi!” Lord Marshall screamed at the top of his lungs, and white combat qi started flashing out his body . Actually, because he was wearing the golden bull armor, it looked more golden than white, which was the color it was supposed to be .

Abel, too, screamed as he released his combat qi . Unlike the one his uncle pretended to have, his combat qi actually had the color gold to it . No one could tell, though . He was wearing a blue set of armor, so blue was the color that was reflected . Besides, since the sun above them was so bright, Lord Marshall looked more like the real deal than him .

“The knight’s charging on a horse technique!”

Almost simultaneously, Marshall and Abel screamed out the name of the Harry family’s secret technique . Suddenly, the speed of their horses was doubled as they charged faster towards the enemy troops . Both of them had dropped their helmets by this point . As the sun shone upon them, two streaks of light, one blue and one gold flew straight towards the same direction .

The wolfriders saw this and all howled at once . It was a matchup of 2 against 150, and neither side was backing down . As disadvantaged as the knights appeared to be, they were becoming faster and more ready at every instance .

Out of the 150 wolfriders that were charging towards Abel and Marshall, a high-ranked wolfrider was taking the lead . While the rest of them were yet to make contact, he was already facing Abel by himself . He didn’t think much of Abel, whose build was much smaller than his . For orcs like him, brute force was all that mattered in a fight .

Just when the two were about to clash their weapons against each other, Abel swung his lance and let the wolfrider take the first strike . He wasn’t going for a block . Instead, he was going to dodge the hit because he knew it wasn’t going to hit him .

Abel was right . He was too fast for his opponent . Within a blink of an eye, his lance was already through the wolfrider’s chest . It was like a hot knife cutting butter . The wolfrider wanted to resist, but he clearly had no way to make a defense .

Abel’s lance was not a regular wooden one . A wooden lance was meant for pushing back the enemy . It was a one-time weapon, something that would be destroyed right after it had done what it was designed to do . The one Abel was wielding was a steel one . Its base was hammered for 120 times before it was set into shape . It was a very heavy piece, but unlike most people, his muscles were sturdy enough to wave it around .

The wolfrider was stabbed in his heart . As strong as the worgens were, a stab to the heart was more than enough to kill them instantly . Abel didn’t stop, though . As the wolfrider’s corpse hung on his lance, he continued to speed up his horse towards his enemies .

A few arrows were shot at Abel, but with the armor that he was wearing, all of them . Abel didn’t even pay any attention to them . He was more focused on his second target, which was an intermediate wolfrider that was coming at him .

Unlike its dead superior, the intermediate wolfrider decided to parry away Abel’s lance with its spear . It was a bad choice . Excluding the weight of the dead worgen, there was about 300 pound of weight in Abel’s lance . A quick fling with it was quite enough to break the worgen’s spear into two .

The rest was pretty obvious . As Abel had his power of the Will fully turned on, he could clearly feel the wolfrider’s bones tearing up and smashed into dust . Even its organs were starting to turn into mush . Pretty soon, its dead body, too, was skewered along with the high-ranked wolfrider .

Despite having two dead worgens on his lance, Abel was not slowing down at all . Because of how fast he was going, both he and his horse were drenched with the blood of the dead worgens .

Another one . Another one . Fourth one . Fifth one . Abel was finally stopped after he charged towards the fifth wolfrider . If it wasn’t for the Harry family’s secret knight’s technique, he would’ve had to stop at two or three .

Lord Marshall stopped his horse as he had finally reached Abel . Whilst chasing behind Abel, he’s also killed a few wolfriders on his way .

“Now that’s more like it!” Lord Marshall screamed frantically . For him, it felt like he was going back to the battle against the Orcs . He was much younger at the time . Much more impulsive and vigorous, too .

Lord Marshall watched as Abel flung out the five dead worgens out of his lance . It was a frightening thing to look at on the battlefield . Fortunately for him, they were fighting on the same side .

“To battle!” Lord Marshall called, and twenty of the bodyguard knights appeared from the underground tunnel . While they were all trained in horse-riding, their decided to fight on foot because they were more used to that .

Even now, the advantage was on the side of the worgens . As efficient as Abel and Marshall were in their attacks, they still had a much greater number than their human foes . That being said, because Abel managed to kill a high-ranking wolfrider by himself, everyone watching from Harry Castle were assured of their victory .

The crowds were starting to quiet down as they looked at what’s happening on the battlefield . Up next, it was the most gruesome and crucial of all, close-range melee combat to the death .
