The truth is, sky knights are exceedingly fragile. Despite their formidable attacks and quick speed, which gives them significant mobility and combat abilities, they are the cream of the crop.
Yet, in reality, the skies offer no cover, and knights must protect not only themselves but also their mounts. Once a problem arises, there’s no room for diation in the sky.
Therefore, if they get hurt while airborne, they’re pretty much as good as dead.
Given the fast flying speed of both sides and the nimble nature of the flying mounts, it was near impossible for Du You to aim precisely.
So Du You opted to replace precision with quantity. Since his adversaries maintained a tight formation, he had no other choice. The upgraded Spell Splitting Skill can now split into eight tiers.
A total of 640 Holy Light Arrows were fired simultaneously, confounding the Sandpeople as though they were caught in a torrential downpour.
Even if the sand sculptures were highly agile, they now had no way of dodging. In the sky, their high speed ant they were essentially hurtling straight towards the arrows.
The Sandpeople’s confusion didn’t last long, for the next mont, both sides clashed. Under the blanket of Light Arrow fire, the three Sandpeople in front along with their mounts were instantly transford into sieves, dying instantly and plumting to the ground.
The two following them t a similar fate, albeit not as grueso. However, they were riddled with several holes and very much dead.
The last one was quite fortunate. Since they were behind the others, most of the arrows were blocked. Only one arrow hit the Sandperson in the lower abdon, and the sand sculpture he was on remained unaffected.
Most of the Light Arrows passed by their figures, flying off to who knows where. This teor rain-like attack resulted in an imdiate loss of five for the Sandpeople’s ace flying team.
However, Du You still found it regrettable that he had wasted most of his Light Arrows. He really needed to improve his long-distance marksmanship.
The more battles Du You fought, the more he realized his shortcomings.
Across the Holy Light Arrow Array, five Sand Sculpture Knights fell from the sky while one managed to make contact with Du You. The opponent roared in anger and swung his long blade ruthlessly at Du You.
That battle-hardened Dou Qi cleave ca slashing across horizontally without hesitation. An average person would undoubtedly be split into two. Unfortunately, his opponent was a Spellcaster.
No matter how fast an attack is in midair, it can’t surpass the speed of human thought.
With a thought from Du You, a purple barrier appeared - a Shield Spell, standing squarely against the enemy’s attack. During the fleeting mont of the clash, Du You noticed that this Sandperson was at level 10 - a peak first-tier.
But being airborne still rendered even the highest level vulnerable.
With only a brief block, the Thunderbolt Eagle had already rushed past. The Shield Spell, now unsustainable, dissipated. The leftover power of the Dou Qi cleave continued its way forward, but by now, it lacked a target and could only slash at empty space.
Turning around, Du You pursued the Sand Sculpture Knight. And yet, seemingly aware that they were outmatched, the Sand Sculpture Knight fled, showing no intention of fighting back.
While the Thunderbolt Eagle was much faster than its opponent, the sand sculpture wasn’t too far behind. After a five-minute chase, Du You finally caught up. By this ti, the ground below was no longer desolate.
To Du You’s surprise, it was a large Sandpeople settlent. The whole area was filled with sand forts created through unique thods, indicating a major concentration of Sandpeople.
From his vantage point in the sky, Du You saw lots of Sandpeople activity below. This was a large gathering area.
While Du You didn’t know how many Sandpeople resided in this gathering area, judging by its size, there were undoubtedly no fewer than a thousand. It was quite the discovery.
If it were a larger gathering of Sandpeople, it might have a higher population but wouldn’t produce stronger beings. It also wouldn’t have a powerful military formation. But this extensive gathering area was different. It already had a complete military composition. Though they seed a ragtag bunch, they indeed constituted a regular army.
"What a significant achievent this would be for ," chuckled Du You, noting their lack of air defense.
The only airborne force was already within his reach. Without hesitation, Du You fired two Holy Light Arrow Arrays, with a total of 160 Holy Light Arrows covering the enemy’s entire backside, leaving them no room for evasion.
Even though the enemy made a full effort to dodge, it was to no avail. A dozen or so arrows pierced the back of the Sandperson and the sand sculpture. With terrifying velocity, the Sand Sculpture Knight crashed heavily onto the ground, a small ball appeared in his personal space, indicating that the last airborne knight was dead beyond doubt.
Controlling Xiaozi to take flight, Du You imdiately started hovering in mid-air. This ti, he created a wide expanse of Mucus Swamp. As he cast the spell, patches of Mucus Swamp began to form on the ground.
Instantaneously, it caused serious disruption to the Sandpeople below.
The appearance of the mucus hindered their movents and stopped them from diving underground. Those who erged from underground were directly stuck, immobilized. The troubleso area of the Mucus Swamp kept expanding.
Gradually, the Sandpeople on the ground started panicking. So Sandpeople, aware of the attack, tried to shoot arrows at Du You, but lacking the proficiency of Archers, their arrows were weak and powerless. After flying a certain distance, the arrows fell back down, prompting a barrage of swearing.
Other Quicksand Soldiers launched their Dou Qi cleave at the sky, but couldn’t reach even the closer distances.
Most of the Sandpeople on the ground were cursing at Du You, hopping around like monkeys.
"So, they think my magic isn’t nacing or threatening. Well, they’ll soon find out," Du You thought.
Du You didn’t know why such a large gathering area had no fireplace, but it made things easier. He could transform the whole gathering area into a mucus marshland, set it on fire, and not let a single one escape. The destruction of a large gathering area was a significant achievent.
The chaos outside soon drew the attention of the Sandpeople’s upper class. An elderly Sandperson, leaning on a walking stick, slowly erged.
