Chapter 104: Necronomicon [2] - Deadly Situation
Though Baron Bloodshield’s actions were sudden and went against his earlier behavior, they didn’t really catch Liora off guard.
Her previous experiences had taught her never to underestimate anyone, especially people whose status and strength were extraordinary.
Therefore, facing the sudden attack, she instantly reacted.
She didn’t choose to face the blow head-on, but rather pushed her feet against the stirrups on either side, launching herself backwards.
Her body did a flip while in the air before she landed gently on the ground, and, with a twist of her wrist, made a move to unsheathe her supposed sword.
Secretly, she activated Shadow Manipulation, creating a sword of darkness within the sheath and taking it out.
Clutching its handle, she instinctively raised it before her chest and braced herself for the following impact.
Indeed, only a split second later, Baron Bloodshield’s figure flashed beside her and slashed with his sword once more.
Although Liora’s quick reaction had indeed surprised the Baron, his goal had already been achieved—he had set the rhythm for the following battle, gaining an advantage over his opponent.
The two swords met.
With a clang, a burst of sparks was created upon the point of collision, as the Baron’s momentum forced Liora to step back.
Taking advantage of her state, the Baron’s onslaught continued.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged hundreds of moves, bringing devastation to the land around them.
Dozens of trees were uprooted while deep craters were created along their path, evidence of the power that the pair possessed.
A couple of unlucky Knight Apprentices happened to be on their way unintentionally, instantly turning into an unrecognizable mess of flesh and blood.
Witnessing the battle between the two ferocious True Knights, the Knight Apprentices realized the gap between them.
Knowing that they could not afford to interfere in their battle, they cautiously opened up some distance.
Then, they chose an opponent from the enemy team and, following their respective leaders, engaged in bloody battle.
Neither party in the heart of the battlefield cared about their subordinates’ actions.
Both Liora and the Baron were fully focused, seemingly only having each other’s figures in their eyes.
"According to the information spread in the Iron Armor Empire, Baron Bloodshield is quite weak among True Knights. It’s rumored that he only managed to advance because of the late Earl’s endless support."
"But now, it seems that these rumors were all wrong. Everyone has underestimated this person.
