god of tomorrow

He really is the boss!

What grudge do you hold against me? Why are you showing up so soon? Didn't you promise you wouldn't leave the castle until all your underlings are dead?

Chapter 11 The more the enemy opposes, the more it proves I'm right.

The Skeleton Knight rode out of the Nightmare, and the moment he saw Gawain, his soul fire surged again, his entire head burning into a ghostly blue fireball like a gas stove.

The authoritative voice was filled with murderous intent, as if the speaker were facing their father's killer: "Human, did you offer the Underworld as a sacrifice to Chaos?"

Upon seeing that the Skeleton Knight could not only speak but also possessed considerable intelligence, Gawain was startled and simultaneously understood the other party's intentions.

No wonder there was such a commotion; it turns out that the aggrieved indigenous people came to the door.

However, the victim came to the wrong person.

It's a misunderstanding, sir!

Gawain shook his head repeatedly: "Respected knight, you have misunderstood. I am just one of the sacrifices in the Chaos Sacrifice Ritual, and also a victim. The mastermind is named Vanvich, a powerful dark mage."

This statement is self-righteous and without any guilt. Although the mastermind behind it all is indeed Gawain and Vanvich is just a gofer, this Gawain is not the same Gawain. Gawain planned the Chaos Sacrifice, so what does it have to do with him?

The culprit was poisoned to death by righteous passersby long ago!

Where is VanVleet?

"Uh, you might not believe it, but he was taken away by Chaos as a sacrifice." Gawain shrugged, he didn't quite believe it either, but it was the truth.

The skeleton knight didn't dwell on whether Vanvich was dead or alive, and coldly said, "Vanvich is dead, but you are still alive. You have obtained chaos magic."

"..."

How do you know so much? Were you there too?

"That means you sacrificed the underworld!"

Hey, this is being unreasonable.

Gao Wen was very dissatisfied. Wasn't he also a victim of the Chaos Sacrifice? More than a dozen senior students had died, and they were all his beloved friends and relatives whom he wouldn't trade for money. The victims were aggrieved, but he wasn't?

Seeing the prisoner's acquiescence, the skeleton knight's voice grew even colder: "I will not kill you. I will give you the fairest trial and then sacrifice you to the Lord of Death to redeem you for the sins you have committed against the underworld."

A sacrifice?

That's still a dead end, as if you're making it sound so noble!

Gao Wen snorted coldly, refusing to accept the trial.

He had already explained that the one who sacrificed himself to the underworld was someone else, and he was an innocent victim caught up in it all; it was not his will. Moreover, he could see that the Skeleton Knight, despite his righteous words, didn't care about the truth and only wanted a target to vent his anger on.

If communication is meaningless, then there's no need to waste time talking!

Gao Wen tightened his grip on the baseball bat, his gaze sweeping around, his intention to resist arrest clear at a glance.

To the skeleton knight, this scene was nothing more than a desperate struggle of a cornered beast, and he said no more, slowly raising his knight's sword.

A heavy sword with an ancient design, its blade as thick as a door panel, its two edges unsharpened and covered in cracks, as if it might break at any moment. The tip, however, was polished to an exceptionally sharp point, reflecting the constantly flickering ghostly blue soul flames, radiating a chilling and oppressive aura.

With the boss personally taking the lead, Gao Wen was on high alert, his mind racing as he instructed the AI ​​assistant to observe closely and search for even the slightest possible breakthrough.

Fighting is out of the question. Even if we defeat the BOSS, he still has five thousand minions. We can only make the subsequent battles more chaotic to disrupt his army's formation and give him a chance to escape.

"kill!"

The Skeleton Knight gave a low shout, and his Nightmare Warhorse emitted a black breath as it strode toward Gawain.

The speed wasn't fast, with only a brief acceleration. You could call it arrogance or confidence, but the heavy knight's sword, slashing down from above, still stirred up a violent surge of death energy.

This strike was quite powerful.

With the help of his fellow undead, Gao Wen has made significant progress during this period. He is no longer afraid of battle and has even developed a fighting style that suits him in actual combat.

He lacked systematic combat training, possessing only basic skills like the Iron Mountain Lean and the Five-Strike Whip, which was his weakness. Only by leveraging his fundamental strengths and delivering a fatal blow with absolute speed and power could he achieve invincibility.

Gawain lowered his body slightly, his muscles taut like a fully drawn bowstring. He launched himself forward, taking the initiative to attack. His baseball bat created a dense blur of afterimages as he slammed it into Nightmare's head.

Shoot the horse before shooting the man!

The skeleton knight seemed to have anticipated this, and with a flick of his wrist, he blocked the attack with his sword.

The sword and staff clashed, creating a shockwave that sent both sides staggering backward.

What incredible strength! x2

Gawain was surprised that the Skeleton Knight was so powerful that he could match him. The Skeleton Knight was also taken aback, not expecting that even with the advantage of the Nightmare Warhorse, he could not take down the prisoner in one blow.

It's not a big problem, just a technical error; it can be fixed quickly!

Gao Wen quickly calmed down. The encirclement was neither too big nor too small. According to the AI ​​assistant's calculations, this narrow space restricted the skeleton knight's warhorse's performance, preventing it from launching a long-distance sprint, and the skeleton itself had little flexibility on horseback.

With just a side maneuver, one can flip the horse and its frame to the ground.

The advantage lies with me!

That's reasonable and well-founded, and Gao Wen agrees.

He lowered his body, unleashing a powerful burst of energy in a short distance, and in one sprint, he was beside the skeleton knight. Before the knight could react, he channeled all his strength into his arms and delivered his strongest blow.

Bang!

The baseball bat slammed heavily to the ground, sending dirt and gravel flying. Gao Wen barely managed to stop, staggering forward a few steps.

Disappeared!

what happened?

A second before the hit, the skeleton knight and his warhorse vanished into thin air; he only struck the shadow.

Looking back, the Skeleton Knight was unharmed, riding his warhorse. Nightmare charged forward, still not very fast, each step like a slow-motion replay.

For some reason, perhaps due to magic, the slow-motion replay was like a mountain pressing down, turning the pebbles on the ground into dust under the horse's hooves, and even the flowing gray death energy was forced to a standstill by this immense pressure.

This kind of slowness is more despairing than speed.

Just as Gawain was fully prepared and about to launch his own charge, Nightmare's warhorse suddenly accelerated.

The immense force it carried transformed into extreme speed. The Nightmare Warhorse seemed to break free from the shackles of gravity, its speed leaving a trail of afterimages in the air. Under the impact, its power surged exponentially.

too fast!

Gao Wen's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively raised the baseball bat in his hand, trying to block this thunderous blow.

clang--!

A deafening metallic clang echoed throughout the encirclement.

The baseball bat and the knight's greatsword clashed fiercely, without any fancy techniques, only pure and extreme power clashing against each other.

Gao Wen felt an overwhelming force surge through his arms and spread throughout his body. After a brief moment of stalemate, his feet left the ground, and he was swept away by the terrifying force, crashing heavily to the ground below.

He swayed as he stood up, shook his groggy head, and noticed that the once straight baseball bat now had an elegant curve, bent from the impact.

I suffered because I lacked the skills!

With Gao Wen's current physique, this was just a stroke of luck. He could withstand a few more such mishaps, but he didn't want to be passively beaten again and again. He asked the AI ​​in his mind if there was a good solution.

Even without asking, it's clear that turning things around requires sacrificing one's lifespan, so the AI ​​assistant once again brings out the previously withheld benefits.

We can't keep overdrawing our lives!

Gao Wen frowned. With the help of the AI ​​assistant, he noticed that because he had fallen too far, the formation of the undead army around him had subtly changed, and a barely perceptible gap had appeared in the encirclement behind him.

I've decided on you. I'll start my breakthrough here.

Instead of breaking through immediately, Gawain swung his transformed baseball bat and charged towards the Skeleton Knight.

He looked like he was in a bloodthirsty frenzy and had lost his mind.

Perhaps because the skill was still casting, the Nightmare Warhorse did not accelerate as if it had teleported this time. The Skeleton Knight raised his sword to block the baseball bat, and the two sides began to struggle again.

This is the rhythm that Gawain likes, and it's also the area that the Skeleton Knight excels at.

The Nightmare Warhorse opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, and lunged to bite at Gawain's shoulder!

The change came too quickly. Gawain had never expected such an operation. He was first bitten on the shoulder, his strength was released, and then he was swept away by the skeleton knight, staggering back several steps.

Although he wasn't seriously injured during the newbie protection period, his shoulder and arm were scratched by the fangs, causing Gao Wen to grimace in pain, his eyes flashing with ferocity.

As we all know, the greatest weakness of human beings is that they always want to complete the game without pain, injury, or dust.

Once it's broken, they'll go all out.

I'm going to fight you to the death today!

Enraged, Gao Wen told the AI ​​assistant not to be afraid of death, but to stake five hundred years of his life and return the benefits that had been withheld from him.

The claim of five hundred years is just a fabrication; it's just a statement of our stance. Today, we're truly prepared to risk everything!

Because he insisted, the AI ​​assistant had no choice but to comply...

"Wait a moment, esteemed host, an army of undead is on its way. Your plan has succeeded."

Rumble!!

The earth trembled again as another wave of undead army charged in, with an equal number of soldiers, roughly five thousand in total.

The commander is also a skeleton knight, but the difference is that he does not ride a nightmare-like warhorse. Instead, he wields a spear and rides a chariot pulled by bone oxen.

The chariot was covered with tattered banners and hung with strings of skulls burning with soul fire, exuding an eerie and decaying aura.

"Hehehehehe————"

Amidst a burst of hearty laughter, the undead army launched its charge.

Upon seeing his mortal enemy appear, the Skeleton Knight was immediately startled, raised his greatsword, and commanded his troops to form a battle formation.

At the same time, they launched another attack on Gao Wen.

Seriously? You're not even going to fight a war, you just want to fight me to the death!

With a flawless roll, Gawain dodged the Nightmare Horse's trampling, then charged into the skeleton soldiers who were changing formation. Using his speed advantage, he dodged and weaved, and soon broke out of the encirclement amidst the roars of the skeleton knights.

He even patted his butt before leaving.

You have absolutely no speed, and you're riding a horse? You're asking for trouble!

The two torrents of the dead collided, creating battlefields in the air and on the ground, a truly chaotic and fierce fight.
