Knight Breakout

"Archbishop, think of something! Otherwise, all my soldiers will be buried here!"

"Fine, I'll chant a spell to put out these fires." The High Priest gripped his staff and used magic to lift himself into the air, then began chanting rapidly. "Sweet rain of illusion..."

But the moment he flew into the sky, Mel locked onto him. Visible excitement rose within him. He was truly bold!

He should have been within Mel's one-shot range. Mel had previously tried the chanting method from the diary. Compared to casting a skill, it allowed him to pour in more magic power. Though he had forgotten the words, he could still understand this world's language.

"Great Bronze King... erupt in wrath!"

Just before the High Priest could finish chanting, a projectile from afar struck him. It was simply too fast. Even though he reacted, he had no way to immediately interrupt his chant.

If he had not been trying to cast a large-scale rain spell, he would never have flown so high.

He had never imagined that black mage would be so powerful.

Looking at the hollowed-out body beneath his head, he knew he was dead.

The instant the projectile struck, a scorching blast erupted. Almost his entire chest vanished, and he plummeted toward the ground.

As they watched the High Priest's body fall, the nobles sank into utter despair. Their eyes reflected nothing but the color of thick smoke.

"It's over! It's all over!"

"Quick, quick! Have the cavalry up ahead broken through yet?"

Crossbow bolts continued firing from the cliffs on both sides, while flaming arrowheads landed throughout the forest.

One nearly pierced the Earl's head. Having narrowly escaped with his life, he was practically crawling across the ground as his frightened horse bolted away.
