Chapter 278 - Against Red Chivalries
The three lightning swords swept a big area, Mark and the other five Grand Royal Knights were forced to flee from the explosion while Wen shot up to the sky to avoid the impact. Kairu remained on his spot, he received the explosion with his body.
"This brawny idiot!" Wen cursed Kairu. The Jade Eagle knew what his friend thought. Kairu received the explosion impact to prove to Tang Shaoyang that he was strong.
The explosion quickly died down, and flame spread out, burning the surrounding trees. Wen could watch the whole burning area from the top, he saw his friend was fine. The Flaming Lion was standing still on his original spot, unscathed.
The Jade Eagle scanned the whole area to find where the six Grand Royal Knights were. Soon, he found them, Mark and his friends were three hundred meters away already. Quite fast for the knight. As for Tang Shaoyang, he was shrouded in lightning, perfectly fine too.
A series of notifications rang in his head, his main level leveled up twice, and his second class [Slayer] reached level 79. Wiping out hundreds of knights boosted his level quite a lot. From leveling both classes, he learned that leveling up the second class did not help him to recover his Mana and Stamina. Only when his main level raised a level that his Mana and Stamina would recover.
\'Reach level 100 [Slayer] before the Beast Stampede is possible,\' he thought while looking toward the direction where the six Grand Royal Knights were. His original plan was to reach level 100 for his second class, and he would join the beast to attack the city.
Just as he was about to walk toward the six Grand Royal Knights\' direction, four people came and blocked him. Two people were in heavy armor, holding a big shield and a big sword.
Two men behind were holding a sword and a spear respectively. They were in their battle stance, seemingly ready to fight him.
[Basic Detection]
He immediately cast the skill on one of them. From their equipment, he could tell that these people were not from the same group as the Royal Knight.

The two people in the front were knights, he could tell that by their equipment. But what surprised him was that they were over level 200. Even Templar Knight the people feared was not even level 200.
\'So this is maybe the Diamond Rank Party Selena talked about,\' he turned his head and saw six more people from the other sides. Two archers, four mages? He was not clear about their classes since four of them wore a robe, but soon he found their classes.

\'Two archers, two healers, and two magic users. Isn\'t their formation quite weird? Why did the knights split up with their mages and clerics?\' Tang Shaoyang found it was weird how the party split up.
It took him a few seconds to realize why they split up like this. First, it was to block his path to retreat. Second, the mages and the clerics were not without protection, but the assassin type of class that protected them.
\'As expected of over level 200 party. They want me to attack the group of six, and one, or maybe two or even three assassins would ambush me,\' he read the party\'s plan well.
"Do you need my help?" A voice came from the top, Wen was hovering above him, "They are quite strong than the Royal Knights."
Tang Shaoyang was thinking to ask the beastmen\'s help. But then, he would get less level with Wen\'s help. He also did not want to expose his integration with Zaneos, not until he could determine the beastmen was a foe or an ally.
His greed put him into a dilemma as he was not sure how strong a level 200 individual was. If it was one against one, he was confident to beat them, but if they were in a party that was a different matter.
While he was in dilemma, Tang Shaoyang canceled the integration with Zowen and integrated with Karan. He integrated with Zowen to take advantage of her wide range of skills so he could easily wipe out the Royal Knight.
Now the subordinate knights had been taken care of, so he could fight the main opponent without worrying his subordinates to fight the Grand Royal Knight. In this situation, integrating with Karan was his favorite.
He did not reply to Wen and cast two consecutive skills on himself, the new skill.
[Mana Shroud] [Flame Shield]
The mana discharged from his body and covered through his skins, from every spot of his hair to his toes. After that, crimson energy formed a sphere around him, giving him protection.
As for [Dispersal], he still did not get how the skill worked but Selena explained to him that it dispersed the damage on his body, not all of them but around fifty percent. That was an op skill for him, and he tested all the new skills here.
\'You thought I would be going for the mages, right?\' Tang Shaoyang smirked and activated [Flash Step]. His figure flashed toward the four close combat adventurers.
Indeed, the four men were surprised that Tang Shaoyang was going for them instead of the other group. Garen and his friend were prepared for this, the two put their shield forward, creating a curved wall, protecting them all from the incoming Tang Shaoyang.
\'My biggest advantage is that they don\'t know my skill, I have [War Cry] and [Earth Split] to surprise them,\'
As soon as he arrived in front of the four, he activated [Raged Alteration].
[You have entered a raging state, boosting your attributes by ten percent for one minute!]
Ten percent might not be that much but for his current Strength, that was a lot. If he combined it with [War Cry], he believed that could out strength these knights, but he saved [War Cry] for later. In the case of emergency.
Swoosh!
He slashed the scythe horizontally, without any more skills.
Bang!
The shield wall crumbled and the two knights were pushed back from the impact. He could see how surprised the two knights were that their shield crumbled in one attack.
Tang Shaoyang did not stop there, he immediately threw [Wild Axes] at the Vermilion Knight. The knight had their shield up, he could only rely on the armor to block the spinning axes.
Just as the axes were about to hit the knight, a spear thrust the spinning axes in the air. The spear broke the axes easily.
At the same time, a shadow came from the top of him. He looked up, the Magic Swordsman was ready to slash him down with his sword that was covered in flame, "I guess you are not that strong as the rumor!" The swordsman was confident with his skill that he could take Tang Shaoyang down.
Tang Shaoyang smirked at the swordsman, he did nothing but prepared his scythe for his next attack instead of defending himself. The sword in flame hit on the crimson sphere.
The thing about the [Flame Shield], it was only him who could see the crimson sphere, only the caster. Everyone else could not see that he cast the skill, he had tested this in front of his subordinates. That was why the swordsman thought he could take him down because he did not see the crimson sphere that protected him.
Bang!
The flaming sword stopped by the crimson sphere and disintegrated instantly. However, the crimson particles did not disappear, it turned into a flame and attacked the swordsman who was still in the air.
This was the charm of the [Flame Shield]. It was a defensive but also an offensive skill at the same time. As the flame was about to engulf the swordsman, a transparent layer formed around the swordsman.
Tang Shaoyang glanced back and found the cleric was in range to help the swordsman. This was the main reason why the cleric became the main target on the battlefield. Their supports were annoying to fight against.
\'I am not done yet,\' he slashed the scythe toward the swordsman who was defenseless.
[Invisible Slash]
The Spearmaster came for the rescue, he blocked the scythe with his spear shaft before it could reach the swordsman. But soon the Spearmaster found Tang was smiling even though his attack was blocked.
He was wondering why until he heard a scream from behind. He pushed the scythe away and looked back. His friend\'s swordsman suffered a big and deep cut on his chest.
"It\'s [Invisible Slash]!" The Spearmaster yelled to inform his friend, "Ahrin! Joan! Come and heal Wayne!"
Not expecting the opponent would be this strong, leading the experienced party into disarray. The two clerics rushed toward the swordsman under the two knights\' protection.
