I have an Apocalypse City - Chapter 711

Chapter 711: Chapter 711 Undead Knight

“Undead Knight, the ninth challenge is an Undead Knight!” Gao Dongxin exclaims with surprise, followed by a furious expression. “This is cheating, that undead horse is even an elite level 35 boss!”

“Additionally, that mount itself has tier one combat power. Its strength is probably slightly lower than the knight,” Zhao Dan shakes his head. “Besides, it’s not just any undead horse, it’s an Abyssal Nightmare, skilled in fear magic.”

“How can we fight this? Even though Song Jian has first-tier combat power, it’s two against one; how could he possibly win!” Gao Dongxin said indignantly.

They are already at the ninth level, getting closer to success. Gao Dongxin’s anticipation is getting higher, but now, the appearance of the Undead Knight was like a bucket of cold water poured over him.

Song Jian stands up, looking at the Undead Knight slowly stepping out, with a sober expression on his face.

The Undead Knight is dressed in dark metal armor, only two eyes are glowing with a bright red light. Underneath is the Abyssal Nightmare, flames burning on its four limbs, wrapped in battle armor.

The Abyssal Nightmare is similar to an undead creature, with scarce flesh and most of its bones exposed, emitting a black abyssal aura.

The Undead Knight is a formidable being with a “Fatal Strike” passive capability and is the only first-tier combat power creature capable of killing a second-tier combat power creature.

Accompanied by its Abyssal Nightmare, the combination of two elite bosses with first-tier combat power, the effect would definitely be more than one plus one.

Seeing the Undead Knight coming towards him, Song Jian steps forward and calls out: “My name is Song Jian, who are you, the knight of which undead duke?”

With the Undead Knights’ rarity, each one inherently holds a noble title upon their creation. Only a noble of Count level and above would have the privilege to recruit them.

“My… name… Her…” the Undead Knight began, but stopped after just two words.

A moment of pause later, the Undead Knight spoke, “Human, do you wish to know my true name? When I kill you, I will tell your corpse my name. If possible, I could turn you into an undead creature, becoming my servant.”

Song Jian was a little disappointed, but since the opponent was an undead creature, it probably wouldn’t have much flesh. Even knowing the true name, he didn’t know if the Shackles Mark skill would work on it.

With a neigh, the Abyssal Nightmare suddenly accelerated towards Song Jian. This is the Undead Knight’s charge ability, boosting its speed by 150% in an instant, causing a 30% damage boost on impact and a high possibility of causing a stun effect.

Boom!

Suddenly, Song Jian’s body was engulfed in raging black flames, filling the air with a strong abyssal aura.

“Swish~”

The Abyssal Nightmare had already sprinted to a distance less than ten meters from Song Jian. But the moment the abyssal flames rose, the Abyssal Nightmare abruptly stopped. With its forehalf raised high, its hooves swung wildly in the air. Fearful, it looked at Song Jian and lowered its head towards him.

The charge was interrupted by its own mount, the Undead Knight suffered a backlash. Over a thousand points of damage floated above its head, leaving it stunned for three seconds.

The Undead Knight probably never expected its own mount would betray itself. This has never occurred since the day it became an Undead Knight.

The fourth-tier Abyssal Flames on Song Jian, now bestowed with first-tier combat power, gave off a terrifying aura. Despite both the Abyssal Nightmare and the Undead Knight being elite level 35 bosses with first-tier combat power, they were on completely different standings.

Undead Knights are part of the undead aristocracy, but Abyssal Nightmares are only strong common beings in the abyssal world. Confronted with Song Jian’s terrifying abyssal aura, the natural hierarchy discouraged it from initiating an attack on Song Jian.

“Stupid!” The Undead Knight’s eyes blazed with a bright red light, kicking the belly of the Abyssal Nightmare repeatedly, desperately tugging the reins to make it move. However, no matter how hard he tried, the Abyssal Nightmare remained stationary, constantly letting out a mournful neigh.

“Waste!” The Undead Knight struck at the head of the Abyssal Nightmare, dismounted, took out a lance hanging on the Nightmare, intending to rush at Song Jian but hesitated. He put the lance back onto the Abyssal Nightmare, took out a two-handed greatsword from the other side, and rushed towards Song Jian.

Without the speed boost from the Abyssal Nightmare, the Undead Knight was essentially just an oversized foot soldier. Many of its skills, which require a mount to execute, were unusable, making a fight against it extremely dangerous. The Undead Knight’s passive ability “Fatal Strike” could trigger anytime, whether in a mounted fight or close combat, with melee combat seemingly having a higher chance.

“I can’t engage in close combat with him!” Song Jian thought, repeating the fight strategy used against the Fire Elemental Lord. Controlling four long swords and constantly unleashing ‘Snowy Night’, keeping a safe distance from the Undead Knight using Sword Shadow Step.

After losing the speed boost from the mount, the Undead Knight wasn’t fast to begin with. Under the heavy snow, his speed was slower than a normal person. Seeing Song Jian continuously ‘kiting’ the Undead Knight around the coliseum while the Abyssal Nightmare was harmless, standing in the middle of the coliseum causing an uproar in the spectator stands; they didn’t seem satisfied with the situation in the coliseum.

“Cheating, this is cheating! An Undead Knight without a horse- still call it a knight? Unfair!”

“Damn it, you can’t do this. This kind of battle is completely unwatchable!”

“Kill him, we want to see bloodshed, not some pansies fighting!”

…

“What the hell are they up to? Just now, against two Level 35 Elite Bosses, they never once shouted!” Gao Dongxin angrily hit the observation deck.

“They just want to see how these monsters kill real humans…” Zhao Dan said.

“Those bastards!” Gao Dongxin cursed. As long as Song Jian sticks to this plan, It’s possible to wear down the Undead Knight. If the ninth level could be passed this easily, then the chances of achieving ten wins in a row are much higher.

Suddenly, an Undead Witch in the spectator stands stands up and shouts out, “I am willing to offer a pair of speed boots to this pitiful knight, request for a bloodletting judgement!”
