The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 742 Attack and Kill
Originally, at Vili's suggestion, Weiss stayed in the sky to watch the battle and gain some experience. According to Vili, the people below were evenly matched, and the Ringwraiths were not capable of killing them. It would take a while to wear them down!
After all, a paladin known for his thick skin, a dragon knight, and a dragon rider were all people whose health bars were full and seemed endless. Even the weakest of them, Reno, could fight Lydalias back and forth with his divine power. It was clear that they were only at a disadvantage and were not in dire straits.

However, with Khammur's frenzied attacks, the already injured Caslo and his dragon were unable to completely evade the powerful attacks of this second Ringwraith. Finally, when Reno was distracted and his opening was exploited, leaving him half-crippled, Whis could no longer stand by and watch.

"Roar!" Although Vili is only a young dragon in terms of age, due to his father's dragon crystal and the unique memory inheritance of the dragon race, his combat power is comparable to that of a young adult dragon. The only thing that holds him back is his combat experience and his knighthood.

"Boom!" Khamur and Lydalias, who were sent flying by the dragon language magic, were not in much disarray or panic. Instead, they exchanged a glance with a triumphant look in their eyes, and the soul fire in their eyes flickered.

"Finally down!" Kehamur let out a nasty laugh.

"Once you're here, don't leave!" Lydalias said in a hoarse voice.

Unlike other professions, a dragon knight flying in the sky is ten times more difficult to deal with than one on the ground! Even a sixth-tier warrior wouldn't be foolish enough to fly into the sky and fight a dragon knight in the air. The only ones who can deal with a dragon knight in the sky are dragon knights! Even if this dragon knight is only a first-tier apprentice knight, as long as the dragon he rides has sufficient combat power, even a Ringwraith can't stop him!
Thanks to the plan's smooth progress, even exceeding the Ringwraiths' expectations, their initial goal was simply to eliminate this newly promoted dragon knight. They hadn't expected to succeed with the established dragon knights, since, aside from all-out war, no one could stop a dragon knight from leaving! But they never anticipated the arrow's devastating force! It nearly skewered a dragon knight into a string of candied hawthorns and turned a storm dragon into a reptile! This unexpected delight emboldened the Ringwraiths, and they began to hope to leave something behind, so they delayed their plan until now, finally luring the figure floating in the sky down.

“These tin cans are really hard to open!” Lydillas glanced at Cernar and Dos Anthony, who were still fighting, then looked back at Caslow and the others in front of him.

"Be careful! Although he's a new dragon knight, his dragon language magic isn't new!" Khamur warned. The humans, initially at a disadvantage, now had an advantage after the addition of a dragon. (Weiss: Huh? Am I just there to make up the numbers?)

……

"You'll get nowhere!" Dos Anthony roared, then lashed out with his dragon spear, sending the entangled Sernar flying backward! He saw Weiss joining the battle and the orcs being nearly wiped out by those iron cans. It could be said that the Ringwraiths gained nothing except wounding Reno and Caslow, while they themselves lost two orc armies.

"..." Sernar's soul fire flickered, and he slowed his movements slightly as he remained silent. Did he really think they had won? This battle had only just begun!

"Heh! You rat in the gutter! You're out of ideas now!" Seeing Cernar's humiliation and silence, Dos Anthony immediately launched a smug attack, his expression so triumphant it was as if he wanted to shit on Cernar's head.

"..." The soul fire in Sernar's eyes dimmed, and then he calmly extended his left hand.

"Boom!" The shockwave from the burst of mental power almost knocked Dos Anthony off the dragon's back, and even Kurt's protective dragon power shield was instantly destroyed!

"The waning souls have vanished!" Dos Anthony and Kurt's pupils contracted rapidly, and cold sweat instantly soaked Dos Anthony's back. He had just brushed past death.
"A single-target forbidden spell! When?" Kurt's dragon eyes narrowed into slits. He pulled the still dazed Dos Anthony away from Cernal, creating distance between them in mid-air, where they faced each other. "..." Cernal stood calmly in the void without speaking, the soul hook in his hand gleaming faintly, engaging in a silent battle with Dos Anthony in perfect sync.

"Just now... could he have killed me?" Dos Anthony asked his dragon, still shaken.

"At the very least, I'll make sure you go back on your back..." Kurt felt a chill run down his spine. He and the dragon had been careless just now, and they had managed to fight a Ringwraith for a long time with only one shield... Look at Reno and Caslo below! The defensive skill effects on their bodies had been stacked up to the point that their colors were no longer visible!

"Why...didn't he kill me? He could have waited just one more second, and I wouldn't have been able to escape the single-target forbidden spell..." Dos Anthony stared blankly at the silent Dos Anthony in the sky, lost in confusion.

"It wasn't that you escaped, but that he triggered the forbidden spell beforehand! 'Wrath of the Souls' is a single-target forbidden spell of the mental type, its destructive power directly affects the soul..." Kurt didn't continue. Unlike area-of-effect forbidden spells, single-target forbidden spells are lock-on spells. Although these types of forbidden spells may not target only one object, their target range is quite small! A small range also means great power!
If that forbidden spell had been released directly at their faces, not only would Dos Anthony be caught off guard, but even Kurt, the Thunder Dragon, would have been half-dead. What saved them from this was not because they dodged well, but because the Ringwraith let them go.

"..." Doss Antony's forehead instantly broke out in a sweat. At this moment, he suddenly couldn't understand the situation. The flaw he had revealed through his meticulous planning was enough to make him regret it for the rest of his life. The Ringwraiths on the other side had also seized this opportunity, but at the last moment, he suddenly gave up...

Seeing the silent Cernar, Dos Anthony also fell silent. It turns out that silence is contagious... And so the two silently confronted each other in the sky, neither making a move nor leaving, just looking at each other.

……

"Damn it! That dragon knight on the other side is really cautious!" Lydalias also noticed what was happening on the other battlefield. It would be a shame not to pay attention to such an obvious forbidden spell. However, to his disappointment, Sernar actually failed? Even his trump card forbidden spell sneak attack failed to take down the opponent. Lydalias could only attribute it to the fact that the opponent was too careful.

"Looks like there's no hope. Let's quit while we're ahead!" Khamur also retreated to Lydalias's side and shook his head. The forbidden spell attack by Sernar failed, and these people would not give them a second opening. It was destined to be hopeless to add another achievement to their record.

"Attack!" Khammur roared hoarsely, then he and Lidillas charged towards Reno and the others.

"Kill!" Renault and Caslo immediately rushed forward.

"Swoosh!" Suddenly, the void was torn open, and a sharp black heavy sword slashed fiercely towards Weiss!
