’I have to save him!’
Helen moved before her mind fully caught up to what was happening.
Fire exploded around both her arms while she thrust her palm directly toward the charging Knight Captain. Instead of spreading wildly, the flas compressed tightly into a concentrated stream aid straight across its path.
BOOOOM!!!
The blast crashed into the Captain hard enough to tear apart part of the stone floor beneath its feet. Flas swallowed the armored undead completely for half a second while heat spread across nearly ten ters of the courtyard.
"Zich, move!" Helen shouted while gasping for breath.
The Knight Captain walked out of the flas anyway.
Part of its armor glowed red from the impact while lted tal dripped slowly from one shoulder plate, yet its speed barely slowed. Before Helen could create another spell, the Captain twisted sideways and drove its armored boot directly into her stomach.
CRAAACK!!!
Helen’s body blasted backward across the courtyard.
She crashed through a broken pillar nearly one ter thick before rolling across the stone floor several tis. Blood escaped the corner of her mouth while cracks spread through sections of her light armor. Pain exploded through her body.
Jayden’s expression changed instantly after seeing her get hit.
"Helen!"
Right ahead, the Knight Captain had already reached Zich, who was still stunned at how quickly Helen had thrown herself into harm’s way for him.
The massive sword descended vertically toward his head with terrifying speed. Zich snapped out of his daze and activated Blink at the exact last mont possible.
FWOOSH!!!
His figure vanished instantly.
BOOOOOOM!!!!
The sword smashed into the ground hard enough to create a crater nearly four ters wide. Broken stone exploded outward violently while black energy spread through the cracks beneath the courtyard floor.
Zich reappeared several ters away afterward.
His heartbeat sped up slightly, but his expression remained calm. The first Blink worked perfectly.
Unfortunately, the Knight Captain paused.
For barely half a second, the undead commander slowly turned its helt toward Zich’s new location as though analyzing sothing. Its burning red eyes flickered faintly afterward.
Zich imdiately felt sothing unpleasant.
The Captain moved again.
BOOM!!!
Its armored body crossed the distance instantly while the sword swept sideways toward Zich’s ribs. He activated Blink again without hesitation.
FWOOSH!!!
The mont his body reappeared, the Knight Captain turned.
Its blade changed direction before Zich fully stabilized from the movent itself.
SKRRRRK!!!
The sword passed within a milliter of his chest. Part of his clothes split apart instantly while the pressure from the swing alone left a shallow cut across his skin.
Zich’s pupils narrowed slightly afterward.
’What kind of ridiculous adaptation speed is this?’
Helen forced herself upright despite the pain spreading through her stomach. The mont she saw the Captain already adjusting toward Zich’s second Blink, flas exploded around her hands again.
"Over here!"
FWHOOOSH!!!
Compressed fire slamd directly into the Captain’s side. At almost the sa mont, Blood Leech burst upward from behind the commander with both claws aid toward the neck joint.
The Knight Captain reacted instantly.
BOOOOM!!!
Its armored leg kicked backward violently.
Blood Leech flew across the courtyard like a broken doll before crashing through a damaged statue nearly five ters away. Stone chunks scattered across the ground afterward while the summon slowly pulled itself back upright again.
Varok saw everything happening from the frontline.
Unfortunately, helping directly was impossible.
Multiple undead soldiers had already pressed aggressively against the Velhari side while archers continued targeting anyone attempting to break formation. Even the giant Velhari was currently pinned between spear users and shield knights while roaring in frustration.
"These things won’t let us move!" the giant shouted angrily.
Varok pierced another knight through the visor before responding coldly,
"The Captain understands battlefield pressure. It is locking us down while hunting the summoner."
Another sword strike descended toward Zich imdiately afterward.
Slimy bounced forward.
"Silk Barrier!"
BOOOOOM!!!
The translucent wall exploded into existence directly between Zich and the descending blade. For one brief second, the barrier actually held.
Cracks spread across the surface the next mont.
KRRRRRK!!!
The barrier bent inward violently while fractures covered nearly the entire structure within monts. Slimy trembled as several poison bubbles burst nervously across its body.
Zich’s eyes flashed when he realized sothing.
Repeated Blink was no longer safe!
The Captain had already started reading the movent timing, and if he continued relying on predictable teleport escapes, eventually the sword would arrive before he fully stabilized.
’So only use it at the last mont.’
The Knight Captain lunged again.
This ti Zich did not use Blink imdiately.
He sprinted sideways first while Slimy spat poison repeatedly toward the Captain’s legs. The corrosive liquid slowed the armored undead slightly while Helen launched compressed flas from the opposite direction.
BOOOOM!!!
Fire exploded against the Captain’s shoulder.
At almost the exact sa mont, Blood Leech rushed in from behind and slashed directly toward the back joints of the armor. The Knight Captain rotated afterward, forcing Blood Leech backward again while Helen’s flas continued pressuring from range.
Zich finally Blinked right before the sword reached him.
FWOOSH!!!
His body vanished less than a fraction of a second before impact.
The Captain’s blade missed by centiters before smashing apart another broken pillar entirely. Zich reappeared behind the commander while Slimy launched another poison stream toward the exposed leg joints.
PSHHHH!!!
Smoke erupted from the armor again.
Helen noticed the opening instantly, and her flas struck the damaged section without hesitation while Blood Leech attacked from behind again, forcing the Captain to split its attention repeatedly. Little by little, the undead commander actually started losing ground.
"They are syncing naturally," Varok muttered quietly.
None of them spoke unnecessary instructions.
Slimy slowed movent, Helen pressured openings with fire, and Blood Leech constantly harassed from blind spots.
Zich used Blink only during lethal monts instead of spamming movent wastefully.
Together, they gradually forced the Knight Captain backward across the ruined courtyard.
anwhile, Jayden’s face beca colder with every passing second.
Even while fighting three spear knights directly, his eyes kept shifting toward Helen repeatedly. The way she moved toward Zich without hesitation earlier had already irritated him enough.
Watching them coordinate this naturally made it even worse.
