The Devil’s Cage - Chapter 312

Chapter 312

Thunderous gallops were heard as black bodies flew like the raging tide .

Riding their red-eyed flaming black horses, the Black Knights were running towards Kieran and co . surrounding them completely .

About 500 Black Knights circled the Picard, causing Kieran, Schmidt, Raul and Cidney to turn slightly pale .

When they had decided to return to Forende Town, they had expected resistance, but not these kind of numbers .

"I’ll go on the offensive! Schmidt, Raul, cover me! Cidney, take over the wheel and drive us away from this sh*thole!" Kieran ordered everyone before picking up the box with [Arrogant Word] and getting out of the car .

Kieran did not give much thought to the situation before him . He just ran out at full force .

He wouldn’t use [Devil Transformation] or [Desire Summoning], unless it was his last option . He only had one Golden Skill Point left after all .

"If that Golden Skill Point could be replenished…"

Kieran gripped [Arrogant Word] tightly, his eagerness for that Golden Skill Point rising in his heart . He knew that, even though the Black Knights had a high Fire Damage Resistance, if he used the devil’s flame, they would be turned into ashes .

Now though?

Kieran stood on top of the front hood, signalling at Schmidt, who was loading a machine gun by the trunk of the car .

"Charge!" he shouted .

Kieran was like an arrow let loose, rushing towards the circling Black Knights ahead .

He was dragging the dark red greatsword up and down with a slanted slashing move . The sharp edge sliced the war horse and the knight on top, splitting them into half .

Then the sharp edge was swung back down, executing another slash .

At the sound of the slicing metal, another Black Knight was split in half .

A couple of black spears were lunged at Kieran, but they couldn’t advance anymore .

[Primus Scale]!

As the slanted slash struck home, Kieran screamed out loud, channeling all his strength into swinging [Arrogant Word] with a horizontal slash . Kieran purposely dislocated his step to suit the swinging slash of [Arrogant Word], his body spinning like a top as the dark red blade moved in deadly circles .

The black spears were broken by the spinning slash, followed quickly by the Black Knights .

Kieran was like a meat-grinder advancing forward, whipping up a bloody storm and carving a bloody path among the Black Knights surrounding him .

Schmidt pulled the trigger of the machine gun repeatedly, firing over and over again .

Bullets rained down on the Black Knights, piercing their armor . However, a black mist shrouded their bullet holes, helping recover it .

The force of the raining bullets made the Black Knights stagger though, allowing Kieran to widen his escape path .

Cidney stepped hard on the pedal . The Picard’s tires spun on the spot for a couple of rounds before emitting a burnt rubber stench and letting loose like a wild horse dashing forward at lightning speed .

The sudden dash had moved the car away from 1/3 of the encirclement in an instant, but the Black Knights reacted quickly, ditching the front blockage and flanking the Picard from left and right .

The Night Owl’s speed and explosive energy allowed the Black Knights to run in a parallel line with the Picard while dishing their weapons on the car .

Their black spears and swords were stabbing and slashing at the car .

The Picard, which had been whole a moment ago, was turned into scraps . The passenger door had been stabbed by a black spear and split into half by a knight’s sword .

The windows of the Picard had all been shattered, and the engine hood had sunk down .

The trunk of the car, which was made of pure steel, had also suffered some slash marks .

"F*ck!"

Schmidt tightened his fingers around the trigger . After he fired at a Black Knight heading for Cidney, the corners of his eyes picked up a few more Black Knights hurling their spears at the car’s tires .

Schmidt quickly turned his machine gun around .

However, as he turned the gun away, a Black Knight from the other side struck again . His target had also been the tires .

After a sudden loud noise, Raul hurled out a jade-colored vine .

The vine was nimbler than a snake as it constricted around the hurled black spear . Not only did it alter the spear, but it also caused the Black Knight who had hurled it to fall off his horse .

"NICE!" Schmidt cheered as he watched the scene . His face turned sour again quickly though .

The machine gun was jammed!

"Those f*cking business scoundrels! When I get back, I’ll shoot their asses up!"

After cursing, Schmidt threw the machine gun inside the trunk and pulled out his ace from his pocket . Grenades .

"Beat this, you black bastards!" Schmidt yelled, hurling two grenades at the Black Knights .

Boom!

The Black Knights and horses on both sides were thrown off their feet at the explosion .

"Step on it! Step on it!" Schmidt shouted, tapping the roof of the car eagerly . He wanted to get away from the Black Knights fast .

Even if Schmidt was not urging him, Cidney would still have tried his best to accelerate .

In fact, Cidney had been stepping on the pedal from the moment the fight had begun .

The Night Owl horses were too fast though!

After a few seconds, the concentrated galloping noises approached them again .

"Faster! Faster! They are coming back!"

Schmidt was reloading his machine gun as he urged Cidney . The Black Knights were back on their tail again .

"This is the fastest it can go!" Cidney shouted back at Schmidt .

Even though Cidney was a polite doctor, his manners were of no use in that situation .

Pieces of glass were crashing all around him, making him bleed all over his body . The Black Knights pursuing them had appeared again . He wished he could jump from the car and push it himself to get it to go faster . This was just wishful thinking though .

As Cidney was stepping down on the pedal with all his strength, a figure jumped on the roof of the car .

It was Kieran! Cidney was delighted, and so were Raul and Schmidt .

Kieran had proved himself to everyone, unconsciously affecting the natives around him .

Schmidt, who had been reloading his machine gun nervously, started reloading it calmly .

As he cleared the jam and reloaded the gun, Kieran took out a couple of grenades, hurling them skillfully at his target .

Boom! Boom!

The explosions took place almost simultaneously .

The Black Knights on the front row were blasted to the ground, dragging the others with them like a heel rope .

The Black Knights toppled down in groups .

Everyone in the Picard was delighted, but suddenly their delight was killed off by shock .
