'I thought Knights were comparable to Fiends. But this guy feels like a Disaster!'
Hex cursed inwardly as he wiped the blood on his face.
'This might really kill me,' Hex exhaled, afraid yet unwilling to give up.
Bam.
He didn't let fear constrict him. Hex pushed against the ground, shattering it.
Within a blink, he reached the Knight. His cloak of red light burnt intensely. Using the momentum of his push, he swung the mace at the Knight.
The guard captain didn't flinch or move. The mace closed in. But just as the mace connected, a shield appeared. The impact bent and cracked the shield but didn't make it through.
It only glowed brightly and recovered its original shape quickly.
On the other side, Althea too thrust her lightning-fast spear. The shield stretched and bent above the Knight, blocking the attack. Her attack did manage to put a hole in it but the shield recovered too quickly to follow through with another attack.
