The moment the Flaming Lion charged forward, Mark realized that talking was not an option anymore. He signaled his people to move forward.
Two groups of Royal Knight moved together to face the Flaming Lion. That was a normal tactic, sacrificing them to know how strong the beastmen were. Even though it was impossible to know their limit, he could at least estimate how strong they were from this clash.
The Flaming Lion was fast, but it was not something amazing from someone as strong as this beastmen. The lion beastmen's arms enveloped by crimson flame as it rushed forward.
Kairu had a maniac laugh, he had been waiting for this. The battlefield was where he belonged to. Soon he clashed with the Royal Knight. He raised his first and punched toward the Royal Knight in front of him.
There was nothing fancy from his move, and it looked like just a normal punch, not a skill. The Royal Knight raised his shield to block the incoming punch. But as soon as the fist touched the shield, the Royal Knight was blasted in crimson flame.
The Royal Knight was spinning in the air in flame as it flew back. Mark made his move and caught his flying subordinate. When he caught the subordinate, he extinguished the flame but his subordinate was no longer breathing. He saw a big melting hole on his subordinate's chest.
When Mark raised his head, he saw the remaining subordinates were taken down. All of them got taken down in one punch and their bodies were in flame.
"He's a dangerous one, two of us should face him," two in his mouth were two Grand Royal Knights. Brand watched the whole fight and realized that the Flaming Lion was not an opponent they could overwhelm with a number. The lion beastmen practically just one punched all twenty Royal Knights.
While the Grand Royal Knights were discussing their tactic to face the beastmen, Kairu turned toward Tang Shaoyang and Wen, "Twenty!" He slammed his hairy chest as he declared proudly.
Two big paws made of crimson flame formed above the lion beastmen. Kairu did not give them a chance to move as they had to fend themselves from the attack. Mark, Brand, and the other four Grand Royal Knights raised their shield upward.
Then their mana formed a layer of protection. It was just like a dome, protected including all the Royal Knights. The paw hit the mana shield, the crimson flame went wild but it failed to break the protection.
Boom!
As the crimson flame was getting swept away by the fierce wind, Mark saw the lion beastmen had prepared for the next attack. Countless punches made of crimson flame were hitting the protection.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Punch after punch hit the mana shield, in just a few seconds, the first layer of the protection crumbled. Less than a minute, protection from the six Grand Royal Knights disintegrated under a barrage of Kairu's flame punches.
Two Grand Royal Knights were about to charge toward Wen's direction, and the remaining two were about to chase Tang Shaoyang who went around their formation.
However, Wen was faster than them, fierce hurricanes surrounded the six Grand Royal Knights. It was just not a normal hurricane for sure as the hurricane was made of wind blades. The hurricane seemed not enough to corner them, the sky suddenly turned dark.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Dark clouds gathered above them, thunder flashed from beyond the clouds. Wen looked toward a direction, Tang Shaoyang stopped running the moment he managed to hold the six Grand Royal Knights.
"So this is what you mean by being careful of thunder above," Wen muttered in a low voice.Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.
