Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 1)

Chapter 94 - Templar Magic

Violent Waves Rampant Surge stepped forward and intercepted one of the Manticores. He opened with Heroic Strike followed by Shield Bash. As soon as they witnessed their companion being attacked, the other two Manticores immediately switched targets and joined the fray. Against all three Manticores, Violent Waves raised his golden tower shield and firmly defended against their assault.

His movements were extremely nimble and adept, especially for a Fighter. However, if he didn't at least possess this little bit of skill, how could he have received the role of main tank in Holy Empire's elite team?

A line of damage values rose above Violent Waves as he endured the relentless onslaught of the Manticores. Soon, a gentle radiance enveloped him, replenishing a large portion of his missing health.

His health bar continued to fluctuate as the battle raged on. Though, ultimately, the Priests weren't able to keep pace as his health fell progressively lower. It appeared even Holy Empire's best Fighter wasn't able to endure against these fierce attacks.

The rest of the frontliners, which included Sleepy Fox, rushed forward and entered the battle in order to alleviate some of the pressure.

"Remember to use Anti-Paralysis Potions!"

"Understood!" Violent Waves replied.

Meanwhile, the Mages in the rear were emitting a brilliant radiance as magical energies coalesced. Some were still channeling high-level magic while others had already finished and were firing off their spells.「Bang! Bang! Bang!」Magic bombarded the Manticores and instantly obliterated the one they first engaged.

Nie Yan circled behind one of the two remaining Manticores and assailed it with Concussive Blow followed by Vital Strike.

"Holy shit! What kind of damage is that!?" Many of the team members felt their minds turn to mush. Were those really the attacks of a Thief? Why did they seem so much fiercer than some of the attacks of the Warriors in the team?

From their perspectives, Warriors naturally had the higher attack because Thieves accounted for it with high attack speed. This was common sense. So, when they saw Nie Yan deal so much damage, they were astonished.

While dual-wielding daggers, Nie Yan possessed both high attack speed and high damage. This combination was simply too overpowered!

「Thud! Thud!」With that, the remaining two Manticores collapsed on the ground. The entire team worked with quick efficiency, so even by Nie Yan's standards, he still had nothing to complain about.

After the first three Manticores were killed, the other thirteen had finally arrived.

All six frontliners, Sleepy Fox included, readied themselves to engage the Manticores. Directly behind them were the Paladins. Since they were a class that wore plate armour, they could occasionally serve as frontliners as well. Moreover, Paladins with good equipment possessed defenses no lower than a Warrior's.

"Dammit, these Manticores deal a lot of damage. Violent Waves, try to hold off that Alpha Manticore," Sleepy Fox ordered. As their guild leader, even he felt incredibly nervous when he saw Violent Waves' health continuously fall lower and lower. Needless to say, the other team members weren't faring much better.

The amount of damage these Manticores could dish out exceeded Sleepy Fox's expectations. Even though there had been just three of them, they were barely able to cope with it. Yet now, there were thirteen of them. Thankfully he placed their formation in a choke point; otherwise, if so many powerful Manticores were allowed to freely get to their backline, he imagined the consequences would be disastrous.
