Chapter 10 – An Outbreak of Civil War (6)

“M, madness!”

A knight blurted out as he arrived at Lloyd’s location.

His face was filled with fear as it had turned pale with the appearance of this monster-like being.

“To think you were a summoner and a swordsman…..!”

“I never hid it from anyone. You guys were the ones that just never noticed it.”

Wooshh!

Jade smiled as he swung his sword, and as he did, the blood that covered his sword splattered onto the ground.

“Where did someone like you….”

“It just means the Crown Prince isn’t ready to die yet. Anyhow, how long are you going to keep talking like this? Didn’t you come here to fulfill a mission?”

Gulp!

Three of the knights drily swallowed, and as they did, they quickly exchanged glances with each other.

Five of them had attacked at the same time, but in an instant only three of them were left.

Of course, the first two were a bit careless, but the remaining knights understood the result wouldn’t change even if they were to attack again.

If that was the case, they only had one solution.

‘Take care of Heinze and wait till the others get here.’

Although it was impossible to win on this side, it was a different case on Heinze’s side.

It should be a definite victory as he was heavily injured and there were six knights against him.

“Are you waiting for your companions? Will you be able to survive till then?”

“Ugh!”

Jade rushed forward without a sound and stabbed towards a knight. The knight quickly raised his sword to block the attack, while two of his companions rushed towards Jade from the side.

However, rather than trying to kill Jade, they were trying to keep him in check.

Crack.

Jade did not follow-up with another attack and instead retreated.

As the knights were relieved at the sight of this, they heard an unusual sound coming from the sword of that knight that had just gotten attacked.

It sounded as if something had cracked.

“What the…!”

The knight made a bewildered expression.

Even though he had blocked the incoming attack with a sword aura, his weapon had cracked.

However, the knight did not have the time to be surprised.

“What are you doing! Hurry up and join in!”

“Hurry up and rush in! Ugh!”

Jade quickly rushed forward again after his short retreat.

He bombarded two of the knights with his sword without allowing them to rest.

With Jade’s fast, yet strong attacks, the two knights clenched their teeth and did their best to block all his attacks.

However, as the force of the sword continued to grow stronger, the two knights’ faces became red.

Slice! Slice!

Furthermore, their wounds continued to increase.

Although they were wearing armor, it was of no use.

That’s how strong Jade’s Sword Aura was.

‘This is my first proper fight, but it’s not too bad.’

This was the first time to be fighting someone at the Sword Expert level since he had only fought with monsters until now.

Although Orcs were the closest to looking like a human, the way they fought was completely different.

Because Orcs were faithful to their instincts rather than reason, Jade was feeling and learning a lot as he fought the three knights.

“Shit!”

“Calm down!”

“Do it as we planned!”

Although all three of the knights were attacking together, the knight on the furthest right felt that he was getting pushed back so he clenched his teeth and swung his sword as hard as he could.

He attacked with his full strength hoping to at least get one good hit in, however, it was to no avail.

Ting!

Whether it was the Sword Aura, physical capabilities or mana, Jade was stronger in every way.

The knight had thought he had a chance of winning, but he was mistaken.

“Ugh!”

“Fuck!”

“Dumb ass!”

Seeing their companion’s sword break in half, the other two knights clenched their teeth and swung their swords hard in a large motion.

They were hoping to disturb the attack while attracting as much attention as possible.

By doing this, they had expended the mana they had kept in reserve, but there was nothing they could do about it.

They had quickly made their decision as it was already difficult facing Jade with the three of them, but if it dropped down to two, there was no way they would be able to beat him.

“What are you doing?! Hurry up and grab a sword!”

“Grab anything even if its one of the ones lying on the ground!”

Bang bang bang bang!

They swung their swords with all their might, yet the two knights were still pushed back.

Furthermore, as time went on, their swords began to chip.

Not only were they inferior in Sword Aura, but they were also inferior when it came to weapons.

‘A little bit more!”

The two knights shook as mana frighteningly gathered in front of them.

However, there was no way they could stop at this point, because if they did, the shadowy black blade would easily take their lives.

“Keuk!”

The black aura that exuded from the black sword easily penetrated through the armor like paper.

The wound wasn’t shallow as it hurt every time he moved, yet there was something more frustrating than the pain.

At this point, their fellow comrades should have killed Heinze and be here helping them, yet there was no sign of them appearing.

‘It won’t be good if we continue like this. We might end up getting exhausted first.’

One of the knight’s clenched his teeth.

Although his comrade had rejoined the fight with a broken sword, there was not difference in their situation.

If anything, their wounds continued to grow as time elapsed.

“Agggghhhh!!

At that moment, a familiar scream could be heard.

It was a scream that was made by one of their comrades.

“It seems like you guys are still waiting for your comrades to show up, but it’d be best not to hold any expectations. Heinze right now is super scary.”
