Are You a Dual Class?

In the middle of the village square.

Of the original dozen or so knights, only nine remained, desperately holding on under the Wolf Demons' human-wave tactics and the Dike Clan Shadow Walkers' repeated sneak attacks.

"Captain Ouyang, escape on your own. There's no need to die with us," said the young knight beside the Fifth Stage Knight, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do I look like someone who's afraid of death?"

Ouyang glared viciously at the Wolf Demons before him. "I've already lost count of how many I've killed. Every one I kill now is a profit."

At that moment, the Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon, which had been hiding behind the ordinary Wolf Demons, stepped forward.

Opening its mouth, still hanging with bits of flesh, it sneered, "Human, you're already exhausted. What are you going to use to kill my people?"

Pfft!

Ouyang spat out the blood in his mouth.

He looked disdainfully at the lead Wolf Demon. "I thought you'd only dare come out after I died. Coward..."

Ouyang snorted and added, "A beast is still a beast. Even after reaching the Fifth Stage, you're still scared shitless."

After being insulted repeatedly by Ouyang, the Wolf Demon's face twisted. "Your mouth is probably the only hard thing left on your body. It should make a fine drinking snack."

"Die!"

As soon as it spoke, the Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon pounced at Captain Ouyang.

Its sharp wolf claws shot straight for his throat.

Just when it thought the weakened man before it could never block this attack—

Ouyang's lips curled slightly.

"Beast, you've fallen for it."

The instant Ouyang's words fell, the depleted spiritual energy within him began to surge rapidly. But in exchange, his life force plummeted at an alarming rate.

"Madman! You're only a Fifth Stage Knight, yet you dare use the Seventh Rank skill, Sacrifice!"

The Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon's eyes filled with terror as it sensed Ouyang's change. But even though it realized something was wrong, it was already too late to regret it.

Captain Ouyang gripped his sword with both hands and roared, "Holy Sword!"

In an instant, a golden sword aura several meters long enveloped the Knight Sword in his hand, its pressure no weaker than that of the Sixth Stage.

Without the slightest hesitation, he swung his sword, striking the Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon squarely.

It rolled more than a dozen times through the wolf pack before finally stopping.

As Captain Ouyang unleashed that blow, he completely lost his ability to fight. He could not even hold onto the sword in his hand.

Yet even the attack he had unleashed by overdrawing his life force failed to kill the Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon.

Amid a fit of coughing, the Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon clutched its kidney and slowly walked toward Ouyang.

"Cough, cough..." It bared its teeth and said, "That really hurt. If you'd aimed for my head, I might actually have died."

Seeing that the Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon was still alive and still closing in, everyone completely lost the confidence to continue fighting.

Just as their hearts fell into despair and they awaited death—

A voice suddenly sounded from overhead.

"Lin Feng, can you stop moving around? I can't hold on to you anymore!"

Everyone present immediately looked up at the sound.

They saw a flying mascot using every ounce of her strength to drag an eight-year-old child down from the sky.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Lin Feng waved and greeted them. "Hope I didn't interrupt your meal."

Ouyang: "..."

Wolf Demons: "..."

Under everyone's gaze, Lin Feng landed safely.

"Boss, why is food falling from the sky too?" A Wolf Demon beside him sniffed the air and swallowed. "That flying food smells so good."

The nearby Wolf Demons all turned to look at the panting Paimon. They nodded in unison, drool pooling all over the ground.

The exhausted Paimon pointed at herself. "Are you talking about me?"

The Wolf Demons did not answer her. Instead, Paimon seemed to stir up their beastly instincts. Their eyes turned blood-red, and they no longer obeyed the high-ranking Wolf Demon's control. Suddenly, every Demon Race creature below the Fourth Stage charged at Paimon as if they had been starving for over ten days.

Faced with these mad-dog-like Wolf Demons, Paimon, who had been too tired to catch her breath, was suddenly filled with energy. She continuously dodged the Wolf Demons' attacks.

Although Paimon's body was round, she was extremely agile, constantly evading the Wolf Demons' pounces...

Looking at the empty area around them, everyone fell into deep thought.

Hadn't they just been surrounded without even a gap to breathe through?

Watching Paimon run from the Wolf Demons, Lin Feng had to admit that he had underestimated the system panel's description of her.

Her taunt value was completely maxed out!

Lin Feng did not remain idle either. He took out pills that restored spiritual energy and handed them to the remaining knights. Ying Suifeng had given him these items before they set out.

At that moment, the still-dazed Ouyang swallowed the pill Lin Feng handed him and recovered some spiritual energy.

Then he looked at Lin Feng. "Are you from the Assassin Temple's Holy Temple? Besides you, are there any others?"

"There's one more, but he seems to have gone somewhere else."

Ying Suifeng had actually come down during this rescue mission as well. But when they landed, Ying Suifeng seemed to notice something deep within the forest. After giving Lin Feng a brief instruction, he left.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Ouyang stared at him in shock. "You're saying there were only two people who came to rescue us, including you, and one of them ran off?"

Lin Feng nodded. "You could put it that way."

He remembered Ying Suifeng's exact words: "One crippled Fifth Stage and one early Fourth Stage. You should be able to handle them."

After saying that, Ying Suifeng had left.

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Ouyang's face turned ashen as he looked at the child from the Assassin Temple who had risked his life to save them.

With difficulty, Ouyang picked up his sword and struggled to his feet.

"You're from the Assassin Temple. Your speed should be a little faster than others at the same rank. I'll hold it back for a while. Maybe you can escape from that Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon."

Lin Feng finished distributing the last pill.

He glanced at Ouyang. "What nonsense are you talking about? I came here to save you."

The Wolf Demon, which had been ignored the entire time as it clutched its kidney, gritted its teeth. "Are you really going to keep disrespecting me like this?"

It moved with its voice.

Accompanied by a wolf howl, Demonic Qi burst from the Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon's entire body. Its dark claws, wreathed in purple Demonic Qi, slashed toward Lin Feng.

"Holy Light Guard!"

Seeing this, Ouyang hurriedly squeezed out the last trace of spiritual energy in his body, coating Lin Feng in a golden defensive barrier.

But Ouyang's spiritual energy was already scarce. Facing the Fifth-Rank Wolf Demon's full-powered attack, the barrier held for only a moment before shattering.

Facing the wolf claws slashing toward Lin Feng, Ouyang and the others instinctively closed their eyes.

But the next second, they felt a golden light pierce their eyes.

When Ouyang looked at Lin Feng again, he saw Lin Feng holding the Unsharpened Sword in one hand. The golden light around his body was exactly the same as the Holy Light Guard Ouyang had just cast.

Looking at the one-handed sword in Lin Feng's hand and the skill he had used, Ouyang said in astonishment, "Are you a Dual Class?"
