Assassin's Chronicle - Chapter 438

Chapter 438: Battle

Mages tended to be treated with more respect than knights and swordsmen . Suzanna was a native of this world and she knew better than Anfey, which was why she was more nervous than him . She had summoned all of her combat power from the moment she drew her sword, because she knew they needed to get into the city as fast as possible . However, the defenses around the city were too well positioned . The closer Suzanna got to the wall, the harder it was to get through the defenses . Even though the wall was right in front of her, several bright sword radiances forced her to stop .

A master swordsman’s combat power was very powerful, but it was not powerful enough for Suzanna to be able to just ignore attacks from senior swordsmen . Her combat power would break if she ignored them .

Anfey knew now was not the time to stop . He gripped his fire sword and waved it in wide, sweeping motions at the swordsmen behind Suzanna .

A sudden surge of magic swept across the battlefield, and the stone under Anfey disappeared, replaced by a pool of lava .

Anfey had very quick reflexes, but this change was too sudden even for him to react in time . However, he did not panic . His body twisted and summoned a large wind blade with a wave of his hand . He pushed off of the wind blade and used a levitation spell to push into the air . He had already spotted his opponent . It was an old man . The mage had a red wand in his right hand and was holding onto a mercenary in his left .

The mage raised his wand again, and the tip of the wand burst into bright red light . A column of fire shot out from the wand towards Anfey .

Suzanna’s eyes widened . She recognized that it was a senior level spell called fire birds . Even though it was not as powerful as a meteor spell, it was much faster . What was even more shocking was that this mage could summon fire birds without spending any time chanting the spell . It was clear who this old man was .

Anfey raised his left arm and blocked the attack from the fire bird with his shield . The column of fire turned into a huge fire bird and crashed into the shield . The bird and the shield both broke into fire elements, and the impact of the crash sent Anfey stumbling towards the ground . The mage waved his wand again, summoning a pool of lava where Anfey would land . He hurriedly summoned a wind blade to prevent falling into the lava, but it was impossible to prevent himself from falling right into the bubbling lava .

Suzanna’s eyes widened as she moved towards Anfey, trying to save him . The swordsmasters around seized this opportunity and attacked her at the same time .

Seeing that he couldn’t get out of this situation any other way, Anfey clenched his fist and disappeared . A moment later, he appeared behind one of the swordsmasters around Suzanna and slashed at him with his sword .

"Suzanna!" Anfey called loudly . He knew that the best plan wasn’t teleporting behind the swordsmaster . He should have teleported to the mage and fought the mage, but he couldn’t teleport that far . Now that he had teleported once, he had to wait another day to teleport again .

Suzanna waved her sword and it burst into light . The sword radiances around her disappeared in the light and she dashed towards the swordsmaster whom Anfey had just attacked .

The swordsmaster had just taken a hit a few moments ago and could not move out of the way in time . Suzanna stabbed the man through the chest with her sword, then jumped back and dashed towards the others .

"Stop her!" the old mage ordered loudly . "I’ll take care of the boy . "

The remaining swordsmasters surrounded Suzanna, preventing her from getting away . The soldiers around them formed a circle to stop Suzanna . Even though Suzanna could take out several soldiers with every sweep of her sword, there would be more waiting for her . A dozen mages blocked her path, as well . They rained fireballs and lightning down on her, stopping her . Michael said he wanted to take care of Anfey, and the mages had no other option but to attack Suzanna .

Anfey lunged at the soldiers in front of him, gripping his sword tight and holding it out in front of him .

Michael frowned and raised his wand . He did not know why Anfey was acting so brash, but he couldn’t let this opportunity slip away .

Anfey’s body twisted and he waved his sword, striking the lava before it fully formed . The lava wavered and shattered into loose fire elements .

Michael frowned . Even though he was a top level power, he still could not shrug off the effects when a spell backfired . He stumbled a little, dropping the mercenary, and backed away .

Anfey bellowed as he dashed towards the soldiers in front of him .

Hearing his voice, Suzanna dispersed an incoming sword radiance and began pulling her combat power back to increase her defense .

Anfey pulled his longsword out and waved it, summoning lightning down on the swordsmasters and soldiers around Suzanna . Everyone around her, including Suzanna, disappeared in bright, crackling lightning .

Serial lightning was as close to a forbidden spell as possible without actually being forbidden . The soldiers around Suzanna all fell to the ground due to its effects; and even the mages were affected . The swordsmasters and Suzanna were all temporarily numbed by the lightning .

Anfey dashed towards the falling mages, sweeping his sword . Suzanna had overcame the numbing effect and slashed her sword at one of the swordsmasters . The swordsmasters could not move and couldn’t defend themselves against Suzanna .

Suzanna’s sword sliced through the combat power of one of the swordsmasters and sliced off the man’s arm . She pulled her sword back and stabbed at another man close to her .

The remaining swordsmasters only overcame the numbing effect then . They hurriedly drew back, avoiding Suzanna’s attack .

Michael spat angrily and waved his sword . A large fire dragon appeared in front of him . Michael waved his wand again, sending the fire dragon flying towards Anfey . Normally, a spell backfiring was enough to disable a mage, if not killing the mage . But Michael was a top level power, and he was strong enough to cancel out the effects by just using his own power . The best option for him was to hide and rest, but now he had no time for that . He had to attack and fight back .
