Our Family Has Fallen-Chapter 762 - 445: Pigman Slaughterhouse_1

Lance had just cried out when he suddenly raised his hand to slash to one side, and instantly, there was the sound of metal clashing against metal.

Taken by surprise, Lance was also sent stumbling back a few steps before he steadied himself. He looked ahead to see it was the Pigman Knight that had charged and now stood before him.

The Pigman Knight had already broken free from the Abyss's shackles and recovered. Clearly, as a Knight, it had a charge to protect.

The combination of the Pigman Knight and the Pigman Priest brought even more pressure to the team already besieged by pigmen.

"Leave the Pigman Priest to me!" Amanda stepped forward; she specialized in countering spellcasters, and whether they were human or pigman made no difference to her.

"Good." Lance didn't waste words. He trusted his companion's abilities.

But at that moment, the situation on the battlefield changed further. After its failed sneak attack, the Pigman Priest raised its Magic Wand and cast Sorcery. This time, however, its target wasn't Lance and his team, but rather the Pigman Knight itself.

SQUEAL! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

A pig's squeal expressed the uncontrollable, furious strength of the Pigman Knight.

However, Alhazred wasted no time either, raising the Skull Candleholder to cast his spell.

Curse of Weakness!

So, they weren't the only spellcasters here. They enhanced their knight? Then he would weaken it.

Both spellcasters used the Pigman Knight's body as their battleground, and it was clear that Alhazred's strength was superior.

The eerie power took hold of the Pigman Knight, stripping away its newfound strength and plunging it into weakness.

But there was no pausing in the fight to await turns. Almost immediately, everyone picked up their weapons and the battle commenced.

Lance charged forward to confront the Pigman Knight head-on, his long sword blocking the sweeping Lance; the Knight's diminished power was unable to shake him.

In turn, Lance raised his hand to deflect the Pigman Knight's Lance and then advanced, countering with a backhanded slash.

Defend and counterattack!

The Pigman Knight stepped back to regroup, its massive form still surprisingly agile.

The Wolf Fang slashed, barely striking the Shield the pigman wore. It left a tear on the Shield's surface, as if a wild wolf had bitten into it.

Lance surged forward. The Pigman Knight reacted, extending its particularly long iron arm to smash down on him. However, Lance blocked it with a sword strike. Even the metal arm could not withstand the Wolf Fang's sharpness, notching upon impact.

Yet the Pigman Knight's Lance came smashing down again...

Meanwhile, Amanda took the opportunity to throw a Flying Dagger at the Pigman Priest, who was busy preparing to cast a spell.

The Pigman Priest was clearly not one of those defenseless spellcasters. It waved its Magic Wand to deflect the Flying Dagger, the impact producing a sound that was clearly the same as before.

In this barbaric Beast Lair, survival relied on more than just the ability to cast spells.

For Amanda, all that mattered was to disrupt its casting rhythm, as she quickly stepped forward and swung her whip.

The Pigman Priest instinctively swung its Magic Wand to block. However, instead of striking the priest, the whip wound around the Magic Wand. With a sudden pull from Amanda, the Pigman Priest staggered forward.

The distance between them closed, and a second later, they were once again locked in combat...

Though Boudica wanted to help, she could hardly extract herself.

She had to contend with the scattered pigmen.

Here, she fiercely kicked a Pigman Hookhand's Shield, knocking it over. Just as she was about to press her attack, the sound of chains forced her to halt. She quickly raised her Axe Spear to block at her side.

Her Axe Spear and the Chain Hammer collided with a dull thud, and Boudica saw the Pigman Butcher coming to reinforce its comrade.

Facing these foes, Boudica was fearless; on the contrary, it ignited her rage.

"WAAAGH!!!" she shouted and charged, swinging her weapon to hack...

As a Spellcaster, Alhazred was also targeted by pigmen. A Pigman Butcher, raising its Serrated Butcher Knife, rushed at him to kill.

As the distance closed between them, the Pigman Butcher's savage and frenzied features became visible.

But Alhazred remained calm, not even moving to dodge, merely raising the Skull Candleholder towards the pigman.

Demonic Traction!

The moment the ritual was activated, complex patterns emerged before Alhazred. Then, malevolent forces stretched from the Void; a dark red tentacle reached out and gripped the Pigman Butcher.

The Pigman Butcher had clearly never experienced such a bizarre sight. It was petrified, struggling frantically but unable to break free, until it was pulled face-to-face with Alhazred.

If you truly believe a Mystical Scholar is merely a scholar, then you are sorely mistaken. At this moment, Alhazred made his move. He drew the exquisite and ornate Dagger from his waist and buried it into the pigman's body.

But to think it would end there would be to underestimate the resources of a Champion.

This Dagger, known as the Sacrificial Dagger, was an Extraordinary piece of equipment. When the ritual on it was initiated, the target would be sacrificed. Through the Dagger's ritual, Unfettered Strength would then be returned to the wielder.

This special power could specifically suppress a certain scrutiny from the Abyss, allowing a temporary escape from the endless interference.

What was more significant was that this sacrificial ritual's effect would be even stronger against an Abyssal demon.

Ritual activation.

Sacrificial Stab!
