Chapter 19 An Aura Master’s Ambush
The procession of holy knights cli the party, narrowed his eyes when he reached the top A single ar the holy knights fro further upon the road
“Everyone on guard…”
The rest of the holy knights immediately unstrapped the shi+elds on their backs and equipped them to their hands At the wave of a hand frohts spurred on their horses and approached the single knight
Ronen watched on with interest He did not knohy a single knight would block their procession, but had concluded that it could not possibly be with good intentions Ronen’s face suddenly paled
“That armor…”
The ht was clad in a mysterious armor that seemed extraordinary The ar layers of thin metal plates
“Is that hershi+on, the ic armor of aura masters?”
Terrible screa The two holy knights that had approached the single knight fell to the ground with a massive spray of blood
The an to rapidly approach the rest of the party after he cut down the two holy knights Ronen’s eyes began to tremble in terror
Patsutsutsu!
The purple wisps of light being sprayed around by the ht’s sword could only be an aura blade, so only an aura master could execute
“It’s an aura master”
Ronen ordered the rest of the holy knights with a pale face
“Go block him We must protect the lady who may become our Saintess no matter what”
Unlike his strict and calm order, Ronen’s expression betrayed the despair he felt If the ht was indeed an aura hts had no chance of winning
“Keuuakk”
Screahts fell froht Ronen found that his hands were shaking in fear
“Why would an aura master be here?”
An aura master was not feared only for his aura blade, which could cut through anything that it touched, but because his strength and agility far surpassed human limits An aura master could be described as simply super human
Kwaaang
A single kick of the aurainto his fellow knights, who also got pushed back by the force of the kick The heads of the horses went flying with a horrifying sound of sword cutting flesh, and the holy knights’ bodies dropped to the ground in halves
Chwaak
The earth turned red with blood The rehts floundered about, unable to keep track of the aura master’s movements
‘This htmare’
Ronen gripped the handle of his sith tre hands
It was right then cal out The priests that had been in the carriage had run out, and started casting holy protective spells on the holy knights
“Oh, ever kind Flora Please bless your servants with undying faith and bravery”
“To your servants, may you bestow a lion’s ferocity and the will of a rhinoceros…”
The holy knights, along with their aran to shi+ne brilliantly white Their physical abilities had been explosively increased by the holy spells
“We e at all costs!”
“No retreat!”
The ehts pounced once ht However, holy spells were nowhere enough to even stall the footsteps of the aura master
Bunjjuk
The aura blade shone purple once again, and the shi+ning arht fading
The nuhts were reduced at a rapid pace When more than half of them died, the captain, Ronen, finally unsheathed his sword and pulled fiercely on the reins of his mount
“Giddiyup!”
His strength and technique could not hold a candle to the aura e
Dududududu
Ronen’s battle horse galloped fiercely towards the entangleht One of the holy knights fell with blood spurting froet there
The silver knight turned his head at the sound of a galloping horse His eyes, visible through the visor of the helht
“Keuuaaak!”
A screa out
Ronen rode past the entanglement of bodies, and turned his horse to face it once more The dust clouds settled to reveal the scene
Ronen’s eyes widened On the ground were two of his holy knights, armors flattened by hooves and bones clearly broken, occasionally twitching
“You’d sacrifice your subordinates to defeat ht”
Ronen ju his sword The sword caught nothing He only caught a glimpse of movement before his neck turned hot
‘He got me’
Ronen’s consciousness faded, and his body fell unceremoniously from the horse
After the captain died, the rest of the holy knights ran about in confusion before being completely annihilated The battle prowess of an aura
“Ahhhh!”
“De-Demon”
The priests screa that they could do without the holy knights The silver knight charged towards the priests without hesitation
“Euaakk!”
The priests, trying to defend the carriage with their bare bodies, fell away one by one in a spray of blood
Tulssuk
Silence fell after the lost priest was bisected by the sword of the aura ton, his hershi+on red with blood
