Volume 5: The Great Plains Chapter 157: Breaking Through (5)

  I waited for half a day, thinking about what kind of world the Shaman would conjure up this time, but things turned out to be far beyond my expectations - nothing appeared, and the space between heaven and earth was still empty.

  I looked around in confusion, wondering what was going on. Just as I was getting curious, four small black dots suddenly appeared in the distance and rushed towards me at high speed. As they got a bit closer, I realized that they were actually four knights dressed in black armor. The four black-clad knights rode on black horses, their movements uniform and flawless. They stopped abruptly about a kilometer away from me, not moving at all, like four silent statues.

  I suddenly felt a killing intent spreading across the sky and earth, and I almost couldn't help but take a step back. The uniform movements and black armor, long spears, made me feel an overwhelming pressure.

  I struggled to suppress the shock and fear in my heart, trying to conjure up a magical shield, but I found that although I could mobilize the magical elements here, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't cast any magic! The magic that had always helped me defeat my enemies was unable to take shape, and no matter how hard I tried, those magical elements seemed to have lost their vitality, making it impossible for me to form any effective attack or defense spells. Unwilling to give up, I attempted to cast the lowest-level magic - fireball technique - at the black-robed knights, but I sadly discovered that even such a low-level spell was still impossible for me to cast here!

  Just as I was foolishly trying out various magics, those black-clad knights suddenly sprang into action. They held their knight spears forward in unison and the four black horses silently lifted their hooves together before charging towards me!

  I'm still making futile efforts, trying out various magic spells, and before I know it, the four knights are upon me like grim reapers. I can clearly feel the earth shaking beneath my feet, as well as the cold glint of the spearheads on the four spears pointed at me.

  If he charges at me with such speed, I would not be able to escape the fate of being pierced by the black-clad knight in front of me without the help of magic! I tried to apply a wind-based auxiliary spell to myself, and this time it miraculously succeeded! I finally understood that the Shaman God only allowed me to use auxiliary spells in this battle, while attack spells and defense spells could not be used at all.

  I hastily applied a few auxiliary spells to myself, Rock Armor and Stone Skin enhanced my defensive capabilities, while Wind Spirit also provided me with an advantage in speed. I managed to dodge the four spears that were about to pierce me at the last moment, relying on the Wind Spirit and the agility of being an archer.

  Four black horses whizzed past me just as I dodged to one side. The four knights missed their strike and immediately galloped a short distance away before turning their horses around and charging at me again in unison. I cast a flash of light spell that seemed useless under normal circumstances towards the four knights. A dazzling radiance burst forth between me and the knights, causing great confusion to both the warhorses and their riders as the intense light temporarily blinded both man and beast. Taking advantage of this brief window, I retrieved my long-unused bow from my storage ring and nocked an arrow.

  I aimed at the middle knight and shot out a feathered arrow, the bowstring rang out, and the arrow on the bow whizzed past that knight, one feathered arrow accurately from the middle right of that knight's throat, Shaman God feared that I never thought I was not only a magician but also an intermediate archer.

  When the flash bomb flashed, the black-clad knights were almost immobile, their horses became a burden, and I could leisurely shoot an arrow through any of their necks. The feathered arrow left my hand, one knight was accurately hit by me, fell from his horse, but his three other companions seemed to have not seen it at all, letting his corpse fall to the ground.

  The remaining three knights did not hesitate to open up distance again and prepare for the next round of charging.

  The three remaining knights of our side raised my bow and arrow, attempting to attach wind magic to the arrow. To my surprise, it actually succeeded! The moment I released the bowstring, the feathered arrow imbued with Wind Spirit Technique appeared at the throat of the black-clad knight on the far left, piercing his throat before he could react, and another knight fell.

  Taking advantage of this brief moment, the two black-clad knights charged at me again. I didn't even have time to fire a second arrow before they were right in front of me. Helplessly, I abandoned my attack and leapt aside.

  But at the same time as I jumped, a snow-bright long knife came slashing towards my head like a poisonous snake. It turned out that a knight close to me had thrown away his lance and pulled out his long knife, trying to take advantage of my momentary suspension in mid-air to slash me under the horse.

  In a flurry, I raised the bow in my hand to block outward, and all I heard was a "ka" sound, the bow had already been split in two by the sharp and heavy long knife.

  I threw away the bow that had become useless in my hand and looked at the black-clad knight who was turning his horse's head to charge again. This is it, without a bow or magic, I'm just a useless person. As the two knights were about to rush right in front of me, I couldn't resist their attack at all.

  I stood quietly there, closed my eyes, and waited for the knight's spear or sword to reap my life.

  When I suddenly opened my eyes, what I saw was the enemy's weapon that had already infinitely enlarged in front of me.

  At this critical moment, I suddenly had a move in my heart. Just before the black-clothed knight arrived, I calmly raised my left hand and a lightning arrow flew out of my hand. The pale blue lightning arrow shot towards the enemy in front of me. The power of the lightning arrow was beyond my expectation, easily piercing through the enemy in front of me. The remaining force even knocked another black-clothed knight to the ground beside him.

  "Alright, you've surprised me in many ways. I didn't expect that you're also an archer, which was a huge surprise for me. Originally, I wanted you to use the lightning magic I granted you to defeat them, but that's no longer important now. You defeated them, and that's an undeniable fact. Fine, I'll consider you as having passed." The Shaman God's voice echoed once again, and at the same time, those black-clad enemies, whether they were wounded or dead, all vanished, and the world returned to calmness.

  I grunted and said, "What about my reward? You're not going to welch on it, are you?"

  The Shaman God smiled and said: "You really are a greedy guy! Alright, let you see the reward for this level, I believe you will be satisfied."
