Riding on a black warhorse, wearing a suit of death armor, and exuding the aura of a general.
It was none other than the Tower Creature called Black Knight.
'Damn it, why am I meeting him here? And why now, when Evelyn is out of stamina?'
Kael gritted his teeth, but still did not take his eyes off Black Knight.
He had to observe every move his enemy made.
In the game, Black Knight was a Tower Creature that could be said to be even stronger than the Shadow Slayer that Kael and Hans had faced.
Because of that, at the present moment, he could not use [Authority of Gluttony] to destroy him.
In other words, he had to fight with everything he had.
Would Kael win?
To be honest, he wasn't sure either.
'…Sometimes I really forget that this is Tower of Glory, a game with hellish difficulty.'
"Evelyn, can you still move?" He asked, a little panicked.
"Not just now, and not now. But I should be able to regain control of my body and regain my original strength in a little while."
"How long?" Kael asked immediately.
"About 3 minutes."
Damn it!
So that meant he had to hold off the Black Knight and ensure the safety of the villainess for the next 5 minutes?
This was crazy.
But he had no other choice.
"I have to do it!"
A glimmer of certainty flashed in his eyes.
Today, only one side could leave here alive.
Then, like a wind, like a ghost, he accelerated towards the Black Knight, without making a sound.
At the same time, the black steed also began rushing towards him.
A direct confrontation.
But of course, Kael would not do that.
Right now, he had no armor to protect himself, while his opponent was fully equipped.
It would be a foolish move for Kael to charge towards the Black Knight like that.
So…
The moment the two sides were less than a meter apart, Kael used everything he had, to dodge to the side.
"HIIIIIIIII!!!!!"
The steed roared in anger.
Because it did not hit Kael, and because it was running at full speed, it could no longer control itself.
Crash!
Naturally, the horse crashed into the nearest tree.
Causing the tree to collapse, and the warhorse to reel, losing consciousness for a short while.
'Right now!'
Without delay, he ran towards the horse, then…
Thud! Thud!
Giving it two stabs on its hind legs while it was dizzy.
Officially making the Black Knight lose its means of transportation.
"HIIIIIIIII!!!!!"
The horse roared madly again.
The two front legs, which were also the only two legs that could move, thrashed wildly.
But unfortunately, that was all it could do.
A horse that couldn't move anymore was no different from trash.
It could even trip its owner.
Black Knight understood that, so he did not hesitate to abandon his companion who had accompanied him for many years.
He jumped off the horse's back, then beheaded it.
The entire process only took 3 seconds, Black Knight did not hesitate at all.
He was really decisive.
Worthy of being a Fiend rank Tower Creature.
Then, the Tower Creature focused its attention on Kael, who now had a satisfied smile, and a bit of mockery.
Of course he should feel happy.
In the game, 40% of Black Knight's power came from his warhorse.
And because Kael had successfully made that warhorse leave the battle, it meant that Black Knight now only had 60% of his power.
But of course, 60 was still a big number.
He still had to be careful of his opponent.
He gripped the dagger tighter, getting into a fighting stance.
"Come on, you bastard!"
"…"
Nothing happened.
The Black Knight just stood there, like a statue.
At that moment, everything seemed to stop.
Nature, the universe, time, reality, as if waiting for something.
Something terrible.
"…?"
Something was wrong, and he could sense it.
For some reason, his body was trembling, and cold sweat as big as beans was continuously secreting from his back and forehead.
Not far away, the villainess could also feel it.
That was why she was constantly urging herself, trying to regain her strength as quickly as possible.
1 second passed.
2 seconds passed.
And when the third second passed…
The Black Knight had disappeared, leaving only an afterimage.
No one knew what had just happened.
"Huh?" Kael was confused.
But then, he was forced to react quickly.
All because that Tower Creature was now standing in front of him.
Three consecutive slashes fell.
Clang! Cling! Cleng!
Each slash was only 0.0001 seconds apart.
With great effort, Kael was able to use his dagger to block them.
Thanks to that, he was still alive.
But the situation did not look very good.
All three of those slashes just now were really strong, as if Black Knight had poured all his strength into it.
His two hands that were tightly gripping the dagger were really hurting.
It was as if they had been smashed by a giant hammer, then gnawed by hyenas.
"DAMN IT! FUCK! IT HURT!"
Despite his miserable screams, Black Knight showed no signs of stopping.
Once again, three slashes were thrown.
Clang! Cleng! Cling!
But just like before, Kael blocked them, despite the fact that his hands were still in extreme pain.
Kael took a step back.
Black Knight took a step forward, still continuously throwing slashes that seemed to want to split the sky in two.
He took two steps back.
The Tower Creature took two steps forward.
Black Knight gave him only two options.
One was to block the slashes, and die slowly.
And two was to stop, and die instantly.
There was no third option, or option C.
Kael bit his tongue, causing blood to flow, and at the same time, making himself forget the pain in his two hands.
His body was screaming, but he still had to continue.
His eyes flashed with a dense hatred.
If looks could kill, the Black Knight would be lying in a grave with his beloved horse right now.
Kael's brain was functioning continuously, adrenaline was constantly being secreted.
However, he was not calculating how to fight back or defend, but counting the time.
'3!'
Clang! Cleng! Cling!
'2'
Cleng! Clang! Cling!
'1!'
Cling! Clang! Cleng!
'0!'
The time had come.
A smile was evident on his lips.
It was the smile of someone who knew they would won.
Choice 3.
"You must die, Black Knight!"
He used all his remaining strength in his left leg, and kicked his enemy away.
"O spears of frost, form in my grasp…"
A voice that Kael was more familiar with than anyone else rang out.
It was the villainess's voice, and she was chanting a spell.
3 minutes had passed.
That meant Evelyn had regained control of her body.
It was also the moment when the Black Knight's story came to an end.
"...And strike with cold that no flame can thaw."
