Chapter 287 The Old Ways
The Snake_haired Ghoul stood coiled in the center of a tightening circle of Knights, her snake-limbs lashing out like whips, forcing them to keep their distance. The Black Knight did not stand in the front line. Instead, he stood just behind the ring of his warriors, his dark, impassive helmet tracking her every twitch, every hiss, every subtle shift of weight. He was a strategist analyzing his prey."Press her! Don't let her breathe!" a Knight shouted, lunging forward with his sword.The Ghoul moved with liquid speed. A snake that formed her arm detached, wrapping around the Knight's wrist before he could strike, its fangs sinking into the gap between his gauntlet and vambrace. The Knight cried out, stumbling back as his comrades dragged him away, his arm already swelling and turning black.Another Knight tried a different approach, throwing a weighted net. The Ghoul simply dissolved the arm the net landed on into a swarm of smaller serpents, slipping through the holes and reforming
Chapter 286 A Dying Curse
Ali’s consciousness returned not with a jolt, but as a slow, painful tide washing over a shore of agony. The world resolved into the dim, canvas-filtered light of a field hospital tent. A groan escaped his lips as he tried to sit up, his head throbbing in rhythm with his heartbeat.“Easy, easy there,” a young voice said beside him.Ali turned his head, a wave of dizziness following the motion. It was the young Knight who had intercepted his fall. The boy was sitting on a nearby cot, a medic carefully wrapping a bandage around his wrist, which was visibly swollen and purpled with a nasty sprain.“The medics said you took a bad hit,” the young Knight continued, his voice full of genuine relief. “Alhamdullah you’re safe. We were afraid you’d suffered a severe concussion… or worse.”Ali’s memory was a blur of noise and pain. “What… what happened?” he managed to ask, his own voice sounding rough and distant.The young Knight finished with the medic and stood, flexing his bandaged hand with
Chapter 285 Aerial Threat
The world was a disorienting swirl of sky and sand for Ali. The sonic screech had short-circuited his systems and turned his bones to jelly. He braced for the killing blow, knowing he was defenseless in his fall.But it never came.A blur of armored silver intercepted his descent, a young Knight throwing himself into a desperate slide and catching Ali just before he smashed into the ground. They tumbled together in a heap of limbs and armor as a split-second later, the spot where Ali would have landed was obliterated by a concentrated blast of air from the diving Ghoul.Simultaneously, three more Knights, seeing their leader in peril, broke from the defensive line with a unified battle cry. They charged the serpent Ghoul, their swords slashing at the constricting coils around the Black Knight. Surprised by the sudden, coordinated assault, the Ghoul instinctively recoiled, her serpentine limbs retracting as she leaped back to avoid being surrounded, freeing the Black Knight from her c
Chapter 284 The Threat Of The Siblings Ghouls
The third day dawned with a tense, grim anticipation. On the front line, the formation had shifted. Malik and Ali now stood alongside the Black Knight. The air crackled with a different energy, a blend of Malik’s controlled gusts, the sound of Ali’s Sword of Light, and the Black Knight’s silent, imposing presence.Malik’s role was clear. His War Fan became the sole defense against the sky. As swarms of flying Ghouls descended, he met them with powerful, calculated blasts of wind, shredding their wings and sending them crashing to the earth before they could breach the Knights’ lines.On the ground, Ali was his perfect counterpart. His enhanced sensors and lightning reflexes allowed him to pinpoint the slightest shift in the sand. The moment a burrowing Ghoul erupted from below, he was there, his energy blade cutting it down before it could fully emerge. He was the shield against the subterranean threat.And between them, the Black Knight was an unbreakable wall. Just as Hazim had been
Chapter 283 The Vow
From his command post in the watchtower, Professor Riyad monitored the battle through his fleet of drones. His sharp eyes, trained to notice the smallest detail, caught a discrepancy in Haitham’s movements. The giant Knight, usually a bastion of unstolid power, was moving slower. His footwork, once sure and crushing, had become unsteady, causing him to sway and stumble as he fought off smaller Ghouls.“A deviation in biometrics,” the Professor murmured, his fingers flying across a console. He zoomed a drone in, enhancing the feed. There it was, a small dark puncture on Haitham’s chest plate, right below the collarbone, with a faint, sickly green discoloration around it. “He's been poisoned.”He immediately contacted Hazim through the system in Hazim's armor. “Hazim, this is Professor Riyad. Haitham is in trouble. He sufferes a venomous injury. He requires immediate extraction before the toxin causes further degradation of his motor functions.”On the front line, Hazim received the mes
Chapter 282 The Creepy Spider
The front line this time was a picture of a hard-won order. Hazim stood like an unbreachable fortress, and to his side, Haitham was a mountain of contained power. Because of them, the ranks of Knights behind them fought with a confidence that had been absent the day before. The lines were organized, disciplined, and held firm, the bitter lesson of the previous battle having been learned in blood.Hazim was cleaving through a pack of canine-like Ghouls when, without warning, the ground itself seemed to erupt. A swarm of Ghouls, each the size of a large dog but shaped like monstrous, skittering insects, poured from a hidden burrow directly at the two leaders."Where did all these come from?!" Haitham roared, his hammer sweeping in a wide arc to crush several of the creatures."It's just as Hadi said," Hazim grunted, his Sword of Fire incinerating a cluster of them. "On paper, we as an army are supposed to be fighting five or six thousand. On the ground, you find yourself fighting an ent
