Is this really a Game?!-Chapter 457 The Knight
The knight disappeared from the spot as Reign and the others widened their eyes and scattered around as he appeared above them.
He spun in the air with his enormous sword and brought it down, missing Reign by a few inches.
The ground cracked before a shockwave blew some of them away. The black smoke coming out of the knight started being released in a slightly larger amount and it even started coming out from the helmet as well.
Clang!
Shadow appeared behind the knight and tried stabbing him, only for his two daggers to be blocked by the knight's sword that had suddenly appeared behind him. God knows how much the sword weighed, but the knight was able to wield it and move it around like it was nothing.
The speed of his swings was almost as fast as Reign's who used normal longswords for weapons.
As soon as Shadow's attack was blocked, the knight swung the sword and sent Shadow flying back. The width of the sword was half a meter and one could simply use that to hit anything in front of them, the target would feel like a hammer had struck them, similar to how Shadow was feeling right now.
Wolf appeared above the knight while Reign was quick to attack from the front. The knight had simply swung his sword with a flick of his wrist while his arm was bent backward and his back facing Shadow, not allowing him to use his full force, and yet he was able to send Shadow flying like that. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎
That small exchange let the others know just how powerful the knight was, his strength was probably above any of them. The sword was currently above the knight and Wolf met with the attack.
The knight still didn't move, with Wolf above him and Reign in front of him, he simply clenched the sword and slashed down, meeting the attacks of the two and pushing them back.
The strength the knight had was so overwhelming that neither one of them was able to stop the swing of the sword, worse yet, they had both used skills while the knight had simply swung the sword and reinforced the swing with mana.
"Damn it, this guy's on a whole other level." Reign cursed as his lightning appeared around him, his mark shone while his two swords glimmered as he used all the boosts he had.
The others didn't wait either, they all used everything they had and charged at the knight, fully aware that this enemy was not one that could be defeated without risking their own life.
The knight didn't speak, and neither did he move. He was still standing in the same spot as Reign and the others launched their long-range attacks at him. Right before the attacks were to reach the knight, he disappeared once again as he jumped straight to Reign.
He spun in the air like last time and slashed down at Reign whose body was covered in lightning. Reign exhaled deeply as he grabbed his two swords and prepared for an attack.
[ Severing, Light, and Darkness ]
Two swords lights were sent toward the knight as the latter continued falling down with his sword. Suddenly that changed.
The knight suddenly kicked with his left foot, the smoke coming out of his armor solidified and created a sort of platform in the air, allowing him to propel himself to the side where Greenie was.
Reign opened his eyes wide as his attack missed the knight who was now swinging his sword at Greenie. Nobody expected the enemy to be able to change directions in the air as well.
Reign could do a similar thing by using his [ Compact Punch ], but it was not at this level. The speed of the knight was still great and he quickly arrived in front of Greenie who had his hammer raised above him.
Greenie smashed his hammer down on the knight, but the latter was faster, with his incredible speed, he slashed up and cut Greenie's left arm, severing it in one swift move. The hammer fell down and still hit the knight on the shoulder, making him go down on one knee.
Greenie quickly let go of the hammer and attacked with his arm, with his [ Inferno Eruption, Demonic Spear ], he could harden his hands to be like metal and deal great damage to the enemy.
As both he and the knight were close to each other, it was better to use such attacks and not large weapons. Greenie was in his Vajra form and he could easily wield his hammer with one hand, but that would be a mistake when facing such a fast enemy.
"Greenie!" Beast shouted as he drew his bow to its fullest. The bow was bent to such an extent that one would think it would break at any moment.
As Beast let the arrow go, a powerful gale swept everything around him while the arrow appeared next to the knight in an instant.
The knight used his sword to block the arrow, but he was slightly pushed back while Greenie hit him with the spear. The only thing that Greenie managed to do, however, was to make a small dent in the armor and push the knight back a bit.
The knight quickly swung again, well, he tried to swing the sword but Laura's [ Demonic Whip ] coiled around his hand and stopped his attempt, at least for a little while.
Laura knew that she wouldn't be able to stop the knight, she was physically far too weak to hold his arm back, but she didn't need to, she only had to stop his initial swing, which she did. She quickly dispelled her whip as Reign, Wolf, Shadow, and Tank appeared around the knight.
All four were staring at the knight in anger, even though they knew that Greenie would be fine and that his hand would be returned to normal after the end of the challenge, seeing it being cut off angered them greatly.
? "Greenie, grab your hand!" Laura suddenly shouted as she used her ability. The left arm of Greenie suddenly stopped bleeding as a purple aura shrouded the cut-off area, the same went for the hand that was currently down on the floor.
Greenie nodded and quickly went to retrieve it while Reign and the others attacked the knight.
Mia suddenly appeared above the knight, her two marks activated and her sword releasing frost around her. The three angels were currently standing far away from the battle, they knew that with their strength they wouldn't be of great help.
The enemy Reign and the others were facing was one that could kill them in a few seconds, their joining the battle would simply put more pressure on Reign and the others instead of helping them out.
The ground on where the knight stood and his feet were suddenly covered in ice, a huge sword of flames was coming from above him while a Kirin that was made of lightning came from the front.
Two long swords that were made of darkness slashed at his back while a red axe light came from the left. Multiple shadow vines appeared behind the knight and coiled around him in an attempt to further restrict his movement, making it night impossible to dodge the attacks.
The attacks all connected as a large explosion took place. Shadow used his sword to stab between the armor before destroying them and sending out a ball of darkness, he then quickly teleported away from there as he didn't want to be caught up in the explosion.
Mia hadn't attacked, she focused all her mana on freezing the knight's legs and immobilizing him. She had seen just how fast the knight was and knew that this would help Reign and the others out more than simply attacking it.
Fire burned around while lightning flickered in the air. The knight slowly became visible to Reign and the others once again. Upon seeing him, the party all cursed as the enemy seemed to have barely suffered a scratch from the attacks.
Greenie on the other hand had retrieved his lost hand and put it back in place. With Laura using her ability, the hand was reconnected with the arm, although it would take some more time for it to properly heal up and be the same as before.
It didn't matter that much for Greenie, the most important thing was that he got his hand back and that he could fight at full strength again. He quickly ran toward the knight as Reign and the others continued attacking him.
Suddenly blood appeared. It came from inside the armor, but it didn't look like the knight was bleeding as the amount of blood that was gushing out was far too much for someone his size to possess. First, it formed a puddle around the knight's legs, then it quickly continued becoming larger in size until a full 300 meters around the knight was covered in blood. It all happened in a mere 10 seconds and Reign and the others were shocked as they stared at the knight who lifted his sword and broke free of Mia's ice and Shadow's shadow vines by simply taking two steps to the front.
