The Knight closest to them turned, his nose flaring in anger, and moved forward, his left leg angled out to trip Vale. But Tiber was suddenly there, his hand gently extended to touch the Knight on the shoulder, a zap of essence flowing from him into the man.
Immediately, the Knight stiffened, his body locked up as his eyes widened in horror.
It was one of Tiber's techniques, Terror's Horror. He could inflict terror and horror into something with just his presence, but even more so with a touch of his hand.
Before anyone could react, Tiber lifted his axe and used the handle to push the man hard on the chest. The Knight fell to the ground before he knew what was happening, his face still squeezed up in confusion. "W... what?"
Everything happened in seconds. Fortunately for the Knight, Tiber had only used a bit of his power, or he would not have easily broken free like that.
