Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There was no reason not to take the merit that came to him!
After thinking about it, Heath quickly made a decision.
He immediately changed his previous style of only defending and not attacking and repeatedly swung his sword at Andrew in front of him.
Andrew, who had always thought that he had the upper hand, was shocked. Under the sudden and fierce attack of Heath, he almost got hurt. He had to use all his strength to avoid it.
Looking at the tear on his clothes, he could not help but break out in cold sweat.
He could not help but say, if he had not reacted fast enough and almost got ambushed by this kid, he would have used such a despicable method like he did to kill the Butcher and the Dwarf!
Little did he know that the only reason he survived was that Heath did not intend to kill him. He just wanted to force him to retreat.
After forcing Andrew to retreat, Heath did not waste any more words. He turned around and chased after the Knight Roya.
Andrew hesitated for a moment and then chased after him with a gloomy face.
He had come to participate in this war to make a name for himself. Now, because he chose the target of Heath, he did not get a single head. Naturally, there was no reason to let him go.
Andrew gritted his teeth and said, “Damned bastard, I’ll cut you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!”
The two of them chased each other and soon entered the forest in front of them.
Heath chased into the depths of the forest. The ground was covered in blood, so it was very easy to track him down.
He chased all the way to an empty area. Heath stopped in his tracks.
Through the sparse shrubs, he could clearly see a figure lying inside. It was Knight Roya, who was covered in blood.
Knight Roya also noticed the person outside the bushes at the first moment.
He exclaimed, “Who is it!?”
As he spoke, he gripped his crossguard sword tightly.
Heath walked through the bushes and into the open space. He introduced himself, “Apprentice Knight of Graycastle, Heath Noen.”
Upon hearing that it was an Apprentice Knight and a young face, Knight Roya’s guard was lowered by half.
He said impatiently in a cold voice, “Get lost!”
Heath did not waste any more words and raised his cross sword in a starting position.
Knight Roya was stunned. He thought that there was something wrong with his eyes.
‘What is this Apprentice Knight doing?’
‘He wants to challenge me?’
Knight Roya said, “With just you?”
Heath said, “I want to give it a try!”
Knight Roya was so angry that he laughed. “Good, good, good! Greedy brat, you want my head to make a name for yourself, right? If you have the ability, then come and take it!”
As he spoke, he stood up and casually placed the cross sword by his feet with one hand.
It was both contempt and disdain, but it was also confidence!
A Knight’s confidence against an Apprentice Knight!
Da! Da! Da!
Footsteps sounded. Heath held the cross sword with both hands and charged towards Knight Roya.
Knight Roya’s eyes lit up.
His posture was standard and his lower body was stable. He was an outstanding Apprentice Knight.
But he was still only an Apprentice Knight!
Knight Roya held his sword with one hand and swung it upwards.
Clang!
A cold metallic sound rang out. Heath’s body shook and he was sent flying backward. He crashed heavily into a tree trunk.
Knight Roya said coldly, “Get lost!”
He was injured and he did not want to be entangled with Heath.
Heath stood up again in pain. He hesitated for a moment but did not leave. Instead, he raised his cross sword again. “I want to try again.”
Knight Roya sneered. “You don’t know death!”
Da! Da! Da!
The sound of footsteps could be heard.
Heath charged towards Knight Roya again.
Dang!
Heath was once again sent flying by Knight Roya’s casual swing of the sword. This time, he flew even further.
Knight Roya did not even look at Heath. He simply leaned against the tree trunk and sat down again. The vigilance on his body was completely relaxed.
It was already confirmed that this was an Apprentice Knight, and also just an Apprentice Knight.
A Knight was undefeatable to an Apprentice Knight!
“Hu hu!”
Heath stood up again. The sound of his breathing was obviously heavier.
He stared in the direction of Knight Roya. The greed in his eyes had been replaced by solemnity.
He hesitated for a long while. It seemed that he had made a great struggle in his heart before he finally raised his sword again.
Knight Roya snorted lightly. “You’re courting death.”
Da! Da! Da!
The sound of footsteps sounded again.
30 meters...
10 meters...
5 meters...
Knight Roya gripped his sword tightly and was prepared to finish off this reckless Apprentice Knight once and for all.
But at this moment, a silver-white light suddenly bloomed in front of Knight Roya’s eyes.
Knight Roya’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his head exploded with a bang. ‘This is...’
He hurriedly held his sword with both hands and changed his stance.
However, the previous relaxation had made him completely unprepared. It was no longer realistic to change his move at the last minute, and the final result was...
Whoosh!
Like a phantom, it brushed past Knight Roya’s body.
Heath held his sword with both hands and appeared a few meters behind Knight Roya.
Blood was dripping from the blade of the sword.
Knight Roya widened his eyes. There was a gash on his neck, and blood was gushing out.
He opened his mouth and said in shock, anger, and unwillingness, “Knight... Knight...”
As soon as he said that, he fell to the side with his eyes wide open.
“Huff, huff, huff.” Heath panted and calmed the nervousness in his heart.
Although both sides were Knights, a newly promoted Knight like him could not be compared with a Knight like Roya who had been promoted for many years. Even if the other party was injured, he was not confident of winning.
If he did not use a trick to make the other party lower his guard, he definitely would not win.
Despicable?
Maybe. As long as he could achieve his goal, Heath had never minded the process and means.
Moreover, Heath did not think that a guy who had the face to fight three against one would be much nobler than him.
After a short rest, Heath walked over and placed one hand on Knight Roya’s body. He silently chanted in his heart, ‘Extract.’
[Beep, successful extraction. Agility +0.5]
[Beep, extracted Rose Sword Technique.]
[Beep, extracted Rose Secret Manual.]
A surge of power surged into his body. Heath felt his body become much lighter, and two more pieces of information appeared in his head.
‘As expected of an official Knight!’ Heath was extremely happy.
‘I wonder how much contribution the other two Knights who were killed by the Baron can give me?’
As he was thinking, a strange sound suddenly came from ahead.
Rustle!
Heath raised his head and saw a figure standing outside the open space.
Andrew.
At this moment, Andrew was standing outside the open space without moving. Obviously, he was stunned.
He was both shocked and confused.
Was this the Apprentice Knight whom he had suppressed for hundreds of rounds?
Was this the kid who was in danger under his sword?
Other than that, he was more —
Terrified!
How could he be a Knight? How could he be a Knight!?
Their eyes intertwined. Heath said, “Did you see it?”
Andrew was extremely terrified. There was only one thought in his mind —
Run!
He did not hesitate at all and turned around to leave.
However, compared to a Knight, an Apprentice Knight’s speed was really too slow.
With a swoosh, Andrew only felt a strong wind coming from behind. Then, he felt as if he was flying high into the sky.
Below, his headless body fell to the ground.
Heath put away his cross sword and walked forward, performing extraction as usual.
[Beep, extraction successful. Agility +0.05]
[Beep, extraction successful. Knight Talent +1. Current Knight Talent: 5, Rating: Medium.]
Heath’s eyes widened. Talent could be extracted?
He opened his mouth. “This is too insane....”
