Chapter 11 – Kingmaker (1)

“Ugh!”

Hearing someone’s death throes, the eyes of the knights changed.

They believed they had to do something now that it had come down to this.

If the fight continued to drag on, they would end up wasting their mana and at the end of that was death.

“Haaap!”

“It’s either sink or swim!”

Thinking up to this point, the knights gathered the rest of their mana.

They had made the decision to figure out who the victor was going to be, and for that reason, their mana was quite fierce as they rushed towards Jade, hoping to take him to hell with them.

Woooonngg!

Furthermore, their Sword Aura was incomparably sharp and fierce compared to earlier.

They appeared to be excited, but their techniques were brilliant.

‘Is the middle knight the motivator for this group?’

The toughness of these knights was amazing.

Jade could do nothing but to acknowledge these three as their auras were dense and the essence of their sword stretched out in a magnificent way.

However, no matter how flashy one’s swordsmanship was, there was only one main sword.

The numerous flashes of the sword were just after shocks of the main one.

Ting ting ting!

The three knights poured everything out as they filled the air with endless amounts of swords and tried to hide their true attack.

They wanted to use their final strike to stab straight through Jade’s body.

However, even thought two of the knights were acting as baits, their plan failed.

Stab! Stab stab!

Of the three swords that penetrated through exquisite angles, Jade easily blocked two of them.

Additionally, he didn’t end there as he expanded his Sword Aura and pierced through all three of the knights.

“M, mas….!”

“He hid his skills……, cough!”

“Shit! Isn’t this what the world is all about.”

The knights appeared dejected as they were respectively stabbed through the throat, heart, and stomach.

They had come to the realization that their tenacious fighting was meaningless.

Drop! Fall!

Their lives began to weaken like a candlelight in a storm, then they all died with the same facial expressions.

And, including Laney, the other knights watched the scene in a daze.

They knew what it meant for someone to easily kill three expert knights by himself.

Bang!!

As Jade wiped the blood off his sword, a deafening sound could be heard coming from Heinze’s location.

And three figures could be seen bouncing back.

“You’re still the same as ever.”

Although he couldn’t kill them in an instant like Jade, Heinze was pushing the enemy back with his old man’s fighting spirit.

Two of the knights were already seriously injured.

However, Heinze’s complexion didn’t look too great.

“S, sir Jade.”

“Don’t worry.”

Seeing what was happening to Heinze, Laney continued to stand next to Hwid as she called out to Jade.

At that moment, Jade’s body shot forward towards Heinze.

Bang!

He instantly arrived next to Heinze and immediately blew one of the knight’s head off.

Jade behead the knight without any hesitation.

“You killed them all?”

“Let’s slowly wrap this up now.”

“…..Okay.”

The middle-aged man that blocked and obstructed Heinze opened his eyes wide as Jade made his appearance.

He didn’t think Jade could wipe out five of the knights.

Additionally, he had a hunch that his mission was going to be a failure.

‘If it’s like this, our plans are completely screwed up….’

The middle-aged man furrowed his brows.

However, his troubles were short lived.

He believed his number one priority was survival, but Heinze quickly understood what his opponent was thinking.

Haatt!

He had lived as a knight for many years, so he didn’t lose to anyone when it came to experience.

Although his political skills were nonexistent, he was an existence that was one of the top five knights in the history of Paulstein.

Baang!

Even if his body wasn’t exactly normal at the moment, he retained all of his prior experiences.

Besides, his swordsmanship was currently better than his golden days as he was using up whatever energy he had left in his body.

“Ugh! Retreat!”

“Yessir!”

“Who said you could leave?”

“Agh!”

With the middle-aged man’s instructions, the remaining two knights quickly recovered their swords.

They wanted to retreat as their fight became meaningless.

However, unfortunately for them, things weren’t going to turn out as they had hoped.

Noes suddenly appeared, grabbed the two knight’s feet and pulled them into the ground.

“Release me!”

Ting! Ting!

As they were instantly pulled down to their shins, the knights swung their swords in fright.

They aimed their Sword Aura and slashed the ground without mercy.

However, Noes had suddenly appeared beside Jade.

“They’re quite stupid. No, maybe it’s because they don’t have any experience in dealing with summoners.”

If they wanted to get out of their predicament, they had to attack the spirit’s main body.

Yet, the flustered knights didn’t even look for Noes and just instinctively slashed at the ground below them.

Of course, this didn’t mean they were completely helpless.

Their reckless act might be able to turn things around and give them the opportunity to get out of the situation.

The problem was, Jade wasn’t going to sit back and let it happen.

Bababang!

As the knights were busy focusing on the ground that had swallowed their legs, Jade lightly slashed his sword.

And, as a result, the two knights were cut from their neck to their arm and immediately died on the spot.

“Damn it!”

Even as he was blocking Heinze’s attacks, the middle-aged man indisputably continued to check his surroundings.

It was to react immediately because of variable knows as Jade.
