Chapter 12: Holy Charge
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“So strong...” Luo Xingyao’s breathing quickened, and strong yearning and pursuit flashed in her eyes. That was the kind of power she wanted!
Dang!
The weapons clashed, and the powerful impact caused the skeleton horse beneath the Undead Knight to be pushed back a few steps.
On the other hand, Link didn’t move at all. His smile was still the same as before, insipid as ever.
“ROAR... die!”
The [Soul Fire] in the Undead Knight Commander’s eyes expanded crazily, and it actually spoke. With a violent roar, it controlled its mount to charge towards Link with all of their might.
A mist of death surrounded its body. It was like a piece of a pitch-black sharp sword. It was also like a large hammer as it charged toward Link with a seemingly unstoppable force.
Suddenly, the entire conference room—which was already insufficiently ventilated—echoed with a roaring noise that sounded like a ghost crying as the air was compressed by this terrifying force.
Death Charge!
The Undead Knight Commander’s exclusive skill!
Link’s mouth curled up slightly. He changed his single-handed grip on the sword into a two-handed grip, holding the sword in front of his chest vertically.
[Red Sky]’s sword body suddenly shone brightly, and thousands of tiny runes lit up at the same time. The surrounding temperature suddenly increased by several-fold, and even the air began distorting.
In Link’s eyes, an endless sea of fire could be faintly seen.
“Red Sky God Flame!”
Swoosh!
Holding the sword in front of him, Link swung it downwards, creating a scarlet wave of sword energy that cut across the air.
The sword energy rubbed against the air and actually transformed into a raging fire in the next instant, growing. It spread at a mad speed, swallowing up the entire space in front of him.
Everyone turned their heads away subconsciously, afraid to look.
The light was so dazzling, and the temperature was so high that it even seemed to burn their sight.
“Ah—”
Ghastly howls resounded through the sky as if they were ghosts enduring endless torment in hell like in the legends, causing those who heard these howls to be frightened!
In the laboratory building opposite, Luo Xingyao and her friend became even more shocked. They could see more from their vantage point.
The sea of ??flame formed by Link’s sword directly swallowed most of the teaching building’s fifth floor; it also almost instantly turned the walls in the direction the sword pointed toward into ashes!
The reinforced concrete had no room for resistance under this terrifying flame. f(r)eewebnovel
The man beside Luo Xingyao swallowed and said uncertainly, “Is he... a Sword Immortal?”
“Maybe...” The light in Luo Xingyao’s eyes flickered.
In their cognition, the power that Link exhibited had completely exceeded the scope of humanity’s capabilities.
...
“Is it over?”
“Are we saved?”
“Great!”
In the dilapidated conference room, the survivors hugged and wept, their faces filled with joy from surviving the disaster.
The female students stared at Link’s back with bright eyes full of gratitude and yearning as if they were looking at a great hero in a fairy tale who saved the world.
Unbeknownst to them, Link wasn’t interested in them at all. On one hand, he saved them because he didn’t want Yang Xuerou to be sad. On the other hand, it was because Xue Linglong’s talent and character were both not bad.
As for the others, he saved them because they were on the way, that’s all!
[Ding! Successfully killed an Undead Knight +1. Gained experience +100!]
[Ding! Detected that you have killed a unit with a higher level than you! Awarded bonus experience +100%!]
[Ding! Successfully killed an Undead Knight +1. Gained experience +100!]
...
[Ding! Successfully killed an Undead Knight Commander +1. Gained experience +300!]
[Ding! Detected that you have killed a unit with a higher level than you! Awarded bonus experience +100%!]
[Ding! Congratulations on reaching Stage One, Level 5!]
A series of notifications sounded in Link’s ears.
Not only did this move—[Red Sky God Flame]—kill the Undead Knight Commander just now, but the nine Undead Knights behind it also failed to escape.
Link’s mouth curled up slightly, and he placed the sword back into the scabbard as his eyes scanned the ruins in front of him.
Two flashing lights appeared at the spot where the Undead Knight Commander died!
Link walked up and picked them up, finding a skill book and a black spear.
[Death Charge] (Silver): Skill book. After learning, you can cast Death Charge. Gather all the strength and charge forward a certain distance. During the charge, become immune to all control skills and 40% of the frontal damage. Hitting the target can cause a lot of damage, knockback effect, and stun effect. Cooldown time: 30 seconds!
[Undead Spear] (Silver): Weapon. Condensed from the mists of death in the abyss. It has a decent lethality. The wounds inflicted by this weapon can apply corrosion effect and weakening effect to the opponent.
“As expected of a boss-level monster! The drop rate is quite high!” Link was quite surprised because the monster drop rates were quite low in [Doomsday Online]. Just now, Link cleared the dark creatures in the entire teaching building, but not a single thing dropped.
Now, two drops appeared together. This was really quite a surprise. Also, it was quite rare for two Silver-grade items to drop from a low stage monster. Of course, items with such a grade were still too low for Link.
Let’s bless the skill book first! Thinking this, Link directly used Supreme Blessing on the [Death Charge] skill book!
Buzz!
The next moment, the skill book in his hand quickly turned its pages.
Dots of light appeared out of nowhere, gathering together and forming a ball of light as they slowly fused with this skill book’s every page.
Gradually, Link clearly saw the words on the cover page being erased. Other large, golden words then replaced them—Holy Charge!
[Holy Charge] (Legend)
Description: The exclusive ability of the legendary paladins who guard the light.
Effect: Charge in the specified direction, accumulating power on the way, and cause 250% area-of-effect damage in a small area upon hitting the target!
Additional: Apply additional knock-up, stun, and silence effects to target for 5 seconds.
Additional: Immunity to all control and damage during the charge for 3 seconds.
Cooldown time: 30 seconds.
Tsk tsk!
High strength-attribute damage bonus with multiple control effects. It also granted immunity to control and short-term invincibility. This was really an incredible skill for close combat.
Just this skill alone was enough to double the combat power of any [Doomsday Online] player.
For those professions that focused on the strength attribute, this skill would increase their combat power even more.
For Link, with his current high strength attribute, he would be able to dominate all existences in the same stage once he learned this skill!
Without question, Link directly chose to learn this skill. Therefore, a golden skill icon appeared in his skill list.

Very good, very powerful!
The Supreme Blessing skill had a three-minute cooldown time, so Link had to wait a while before he could bless [Undead Spear].
Link turned around and looked toward the survivors. Lastly, his eyes landed on the principal—Lin Jian—and his mouth curled into an inexplicable smile.
Seeing this, Lin Jian instantly walked out and smilingly said, “Student, you are really a young hero! I actually didn’t know that our school has a highly-skilled person like you. I haven’t been doing my job as a principal well!”
“Student, you have done a meritorious service by saving us! Once this matter is over, I will definitely submit a request to the provincial minister to give you a certificate of outstanding student and a sum of monetary reward. How does this sound?”
Hearing this, Link squinted his eyes slightly, gradually moving closer to the principal. He insipidly said, “You are too courteous, but I don’t want any of those things!”
After he said this, Lin Jian’s pupils suddenly shrank.
