The obsidian knife cut through the air toward the forehead of the knight.The silver-clad night smirked and outstretched his hand toward the flying knife.
"Force"
The obsidian knife streaked through the air with tremendous force, but instead of reaching him, it abruptly stopped in mid-air right in front of him.
The knight then smirked under the gaze of the five men and shifted his hand a little. The knife instantly turned around toward the one who sent it. Knight briefly glanced at the man and gripped his hand.
The obsidian knife streaked through the air again but this time toward the man in black. It streaked through the air at double the previous speed and hit the guy on the right side of the chest.
The man painfully fell to his knees while taking out the obsidian blade immediately. Crimson blood streamed down the black robe as he viciously looked toward the knight.
After seeing the smirk painted on his face, the man looked toward his four lackeys and ordered hatefully.
"What are you looking at? Kill that bastard."
As soon as he said that, the four men looked at each other for a brief moment and rushed toward the man in silver armor.
But before they could even reach him, two of them exploded into a bloody rain of gore. The other two stopped and looked toward the bloody mess of their comrade while the knight started pointing his hand toward them.
Suddenly the leader of the group appeared behind him. The guy tried to thrust the obsidian blade into the shoulder of the knight but he utterly failed.
The knight spun and blocked the vicious attack with his great sword. As metal met metal the two were cornered into a contest of strength. The man tried to use his strength to force the knight's own blade to his throat but it was an irritatingly slow process.
"Force"
Suddenly the strength used by the knight increased tenfold as the man struggled to hold onto the standstill. Then with a strong push from the knight he was sent flying into the air.
The knight looked at the flying figure and smiled mockingly. Then the other two swordsmen jumped from both sides to attack him. He briefly glanced at them and viciously slashed the two men in mid-air with his great sword.
One of them died right on the spot after getting decapitated. The other one was slashed from his stomach.
While his lower body fell to the floor, his upper body landed near the two girls.
"Aagghhhhh."
He landed on his back, with his intestines out. With pain radiating through his body, he tried to get up, but before he could, the girl who was dressed luxuriously crawled toward him and started stabbing him nonstop with a golden hairpin.
Under the cold gaze of the girl, he struggled to breathe as stab after stab landed on his neck. A couple of seconds later the lifeless body was near her feet with a pool of blood.
The knight glanced at the scene in front of him with a grim expression.
'That is not the way a lady should behave.'
As he looked at the girl in bewilderment, a black kunai flew toward him with terrifying speed from the forest.
After noticing it, he tried to dodge, but the kunai cut his cheek a little as blood flowed out.
After covering the minor wound with his hand, he looked toward the shades of the forest and said with a pleasant smile.
"You almost got me there."
As soon as he said that, a dark figure appeared from the shadows. He looked deathly pale and blood leaked from his wound nonstop.
He looked at the knight with amusement. "actually I got you exactly like I wanted."
As soon as he said that the knight's eyes darkened, and he stared at the approaching man in silence.
"I don't know what you are talking about but you are going to di-"
Suddenly an overwhelming weakness took over his body as he fell to his knees. His grip on the sword loosened while he coughed blood
With overwhelming pain radiating through his body, he looked up. The man dressed in black was standing above him with his knife raised.
"You are not an assassin from that organization. They don't use poison."
The man in dark clothes grimaced.
"No, I am not. I am here by the order of my master."
The knight tilted his head.
"And cough-cough, Who is that?"
"Not someone a dead man needs to know." As soon as he said that, he brought down the obsidian knife toward his neck.
"Gregory, Stop Him."
As soon as Sarah spoke, the world stopped. The obsidian dagger never reached the knight's neck and stopped mid-air. The wilder of the obsidian knife also froze. The knight, the two girls, Sarah, Larcel and even the distant birds flying in the sky was frozen in place. The whole world has frozen in place, refusing to continue forward with time.
Gregory looked at the man clad in dark clothes and then glanced back at his panel.
[Frozen time[Divine] = This ability allows you to create a circular barrier where time is frozen. The circumference of the barrier is 4 light years. [Nigh]]
He sighed and closed the screen. Then he stood up from the squatiing position he was in while glancing at Sarah and her father.
Both of them were watching what happening in front of them with wide eyes and opened mouths. After looking at Sarah for a couple of minutes a dark thought appeared on his mind.
'Maybe, I should just kill her right now.'
Instantly the sensation came and made that thought disappear.
He sighed and walked toward the two men with steady steps.
'It seems like, her skill's effect has gotten stronger. I don't know why but I think it's because I think too much about killing her.'
While thinking that he got near the two men. The man with the dark outfit was covering his wound with his left hand while bringing down the knife with his left hand.
The knight however offers, no resistance. He didn't even put up his hand to cover the way of the knife.
"He is paralyzed....from poison."
After saying that he shrugged and got behind the guy and put his hand into his chest. Then he grabbed it and crushed it.
"Sigh, There is no fun in killing people this way."
He composed himself and said two words.
"Frozen time"
