Chapter 1022: Telekinesis
Mad Knight Mad Knight Mead could sense Frankenstein and Doff from behind him. He didn’t even have the time to turn his head around. As far as he was concerned, he just wanted to accelerate. He needed to run.
Frankenstein was as silent as a ghost. Doff, on the other hand, was the complete opposite. Every time it performed another one of its teleportation abilities, it came with a deafening scream that would scare Mad Knight Mead to go even faster.
When the two were just a few hundred meters away from Mad Knight Mead, he suddenly tapped on his portal bag that contained a legendary item. Under white light, ten five-meter tall golems appeared at his back and ran towards Frankenstein and Doff. Being the natural fighter that it was, Doff began to fight them as soon as it laid its eyes on the target. The ancient pillar in its hand slammed towards the golems. Frankenstein only went after Mad Knight Mead as his master told him to.
In just two seconds, Doff smashed all ten of the golems into a bunch of trash metal. As impressive as that was, Mad Knight Mead was already far away. Frankenstein was quite close to Mad Knight Mead, but all of his attacks seemed to be slow. All of his spells were ice elements, and even his fastest technique, the freezing sealing sphere, was nowhere fast enough to catch Mad Knight Mead as he was trying to make a run for it. As for Mad Knight Mead, he wasn’t even thinking about hitting back, no matter the distance between them. As far as he was concerned, there had to be some trap waiting for him if Frankenstein allowed him to strike with his knight’s long sword. No, all that mattered right now was to get the totem pole away as quickly as possible.
Doff screamed and rushed forward once more. Mad Knight Mead was actually more scared of Doff than Frankenstein. Frankenstein was definitely going to win against him in a fight, but he could almost run every time if he wanted to. Doff was different. One hit was enough to kill him, so he needed to keep their distance. So, again, he took the portal bag and unleashed another ten golems. Doff fell for it again. Without any direct instructions from Abel, it was driven by its battle instinct to take down these golems once again.
While Doff was being held still by the ten golems, Mad Knight Mead switched his vitality light ring to sacred shock spiritual qi light ring. The spiritual qi light ring was a spiritual qi ring containing the element of lightning. As resistant as Frankenstein was towards it, his body was immobilized for an entire second when he was hit. Mad Knight Mead became a lot slower when the ring disappeared, but the fact that Frankenstein was immobilized actually increased their distance.
Still, Frankenstein possessed the wisdom of an experienced law-defying wizard. It was not easy for him to go down so easily with just one hit. Realizing that he was falling behind, he chased again by unleashing another instantaneous movement. He also decided to switch his method. When the sacred shock vanished away, his body immediately disappeared right next to Mad Knight Mead.
That’s when the frost newborn star was unleashed. At the same time, another instantaneous movement rune was ready in his other hand. An ice elemental shock wave swept across Mad Knight Mead’s body. Following that, Frankenstein disappeared and left the attack range of the sacred shock. Mad Knight Mead switched his spiritual qi light ring to purification mode. It purified the freezing effect of the newborn star, and again, the two were back at a game of cat and mouse.
If it was any other law-defying wizard casting this frost newborn star, Mad Knight Mead would still go at the same pace as he had always been. Frankenstein was different. His newborn star had a total level of 27. Combined with a level 11 command freezing, it could be said that the effect was pretty much just as strong as a level 24 law-defying wizard.
Because of this, Mad Knight Mead immediately retaliated with his sacred shock attack. Instead, he activated his vitality spiritual light ring and turned the “charge” ability to the max. He wanted to outpace Frankenstein, given that he thought that he was confident in dodging almost all of Frankenstein’s attacks. Frankenstein’s scream came in closer. Mad Knight Mead threw another ten golems. This time, however, he was not feeling pleasant about it at all. All the golems he threw were the best that he got from the dwarves. Apart from assisting in combat, they helped him with all sorts of other things. That being said, it really pained him that he wasted them in mere seconds just for stalling Doff for another few seconds.
By this time, there were only five miles before the cavern with the large teleportation circle was. Since Doff was fighting the golems once more, he could feel that it was really possible to run out of this place. Abel was just about to sense what was happening over here. He was disappointed to see that Doff kept falling for the same trick all over again.
Abel spoke directly to the soul chain, “Don’t worry about the golems, Doff! Your objective is that mad knight!”
Having heard that, Doff immediately gave up on the puppets and charged towards Mad Knight Mead. This was pretty much the moment that Abel realized that there was a huge difference between a human-type summoned creature and a summoned creature based on the form of a beast. Even if Frankenstein was not as strong as Doff in terms of intelligence, he was simply so much better at making all kinds of complicated choices.
From what it looked like, Abel thought that he should resurrect fewer beast-type corpses in the future. It’s not like he could find many that could satisfy his standards, but for the last few years, his priority was mad knights. Actually, given that there were seven fresh corpses right inside his personal storage box, it seemed to him that this was good timing to resurrect more minions.
After hearing another roar from the Beamon giant beast, it didn’t take Mad Knight Mead even one second to reach for another ten of his golems. However, this time, it appeared to him that Doff was not falling for the same trick after all. He was skeptical about it, though, so he quickly threw out another ten and had them behind him.
“Damn!” Mad Knight Mead cursed in his mind, meanwhile revealing the blizzard spell scroll in his hand. Now, the blizzard spell scroll wasn’t meant to do a lot of damage at all. It wasn’t even supposed to deal damage to advanced wizards, but obviously, Mad Knight Mead was looking for a way to slow down the ones that were chasing after him. One wasn’t going to do much, but he had about several tens of them inside his portal bag containing all sorts of them.
In this instance, Mad Knight Mead became a wizard with all sorts of spells being activated in his hand. Blizzard. Firewall. Fireball. Blazing Path. Ice tip pillar. He was casting everything that he could at Frankenstein and Doff. These spells weren’t powerful on their own, but they did do their job in slowing down Frankenstein and Doff in a short period of time. No, Mad Knight Mead was not going to switch his spiritual qi light ring anymore. He was doing everything that he could to gain a little more distance away from death.
“It’s there!” he screamed, his eyes locked onto the hill that was in front of him. He could see a seclusion circle in front of him. It wasn’t a specialist circle, but there were a total of ten top-level magic stones inside the energy slot. It should be more than enough to give him a chance to get himself out of this place completely.
After throwing all the remaining spell scrolls, Mad Knight Mead rushed right into the seclusion circle and disappeared. It made Doff and Frankenstein’s minds go completely blank. Very quickly, Frankenstein became the first to recover. The ice sealing spheres in his hands were immediately activated and flew right forward. Doff could see the ice bullets flying at him, and when he saw the barrier that was activated in his sight, he realized that the enemy was trying to form a barricade to protect himself.
Raising the ancient pillar in his hand, Doff went for a heavy slam towards the barrier. One. Two. Three. After two heavy strikes, a critical hit was landed to shatter the seclusion circle. When the barrier was gone, they could see a cavern in front of them. During this time, Mad Knight Mead was activating the large-size teleportation circle with his power of the Will. He was sending a signal to the nation of God to wait for a reply.
He had never been this agitated before. It was only so long before he waited, but today felt like the longest day he’s ever lived. The sounds outside made his heart pound extraordinarily fast. It took him a while to receive the response that he was waiting for.
He prayed faithfully, “My Lord! I can finally return!”
When the runes underneath him were filled with energy, he could feel his entire body contained with dimensional forces. During this time, Frankenstein was inside the cavern, whereas Doff was screaming as it was frustrated at how small the caver was for it to enter.
Mad Knight Mead looked towards Frankenstein and snarled, “See you then. I’ll make sure to kill you the next time we meet.”
Frankenstein wasn’t really listening, though. Without Abel’s commands, he was just acting out of his instinct to fight. Without thinking much, he followed his judgments and attacked Mad Knight Mead before the large-sized teleportation circle was activated. This was when the large-sized teleportation circle had not yet entered into protection mode. A basic telekinesis rune was generated on Frankenstein’s hand. It wasn’t meant to do any real damage, but it was more than enough to disrupt the large-sized teleportation circle before it was loaded.
No, Mad Knight Mead didn’t bother dodge when he saw the rune appear. He figured that the only thing that could hurt him was a legendary level wizard if he was under protection. With that being said, he allowed the telekinesis to hit him as his defensive spell disappeared. This allowed Frankenstein to drag him out of the teleportation circle, but Mad Knight Mead was not so weak that he would just be dragged out of the circle. What happened instead was that all his items were gone. All his armor, the legendary portal bag, all the clothes, and even the boots, shield, and sword were stripped off him all at once.
