Chapter 316 - The Dark Sword (2/2)

However, that was a distraction which had surprised the dark knight for but a single second. It was enough for John however, He sunk down into the ground, ignoring the mind numbing pain of the sword leaving his body as he sunk further and further down.

After the sword had let his body. Steam began to leave out of his wound. However, as this happened, a wave of dark flames were quickly making their way down the hole John had formed on his descent and forgot to close.

Because of this, John closed the earth above him, before propelling himself through the earth and doing a curve inside of it before leaping through and out.

He looked like some kind of earth fish with the way he flowed through the land. It was as if he was one with it, however, what waited for him outside however didn't seem to care.

John broke through the ground, onto the roads again, only to get attacked the instant he did

*Clang*

Another heavy and fast swing which he parried, however right as he was propelled back from the impact. It was followed up by another swing from the dark knight.

But that was it's objective, not even a second after the swing was completed. Dark Flames with the shape of the swing were propelled straight at John.

John was in the air, the one way to avoid it would be to propel himself away from it using wind magic. However, he took the riskier option and shadow stepped beneath the dark knight and before grabbing onto his legs.

However, the instant he did so. Dark spikes ejected out of the Armour's leggings, piercing both Of John's hands in the process.

In that instant, the dark knight thrust his sword down to finish John off. John watched as the sword, made it's way towards his right eye.

This time it was definitely over, there was no way he'd be able to dodge in that situation. Or so the dark knight thought, until it heard it.

*Tic*

And just like that, he ended up hitting into thin air, John was no longer there.

Confused, the dark knight turned to look behind him, where he could feel John's presence when suddenly it lowered it's guard.

Blood spurted out from the inside of the Armour, letting the dark knight know that it had suffered internal wounds.

It's right arm which it used to hold the sword was broken. And it had been slashed through the faintest gaps in the Armour.

All of this happened in a fraction of a second.

”Fulgurationem, Modero, Propero.” Said John from behind the dark knight.

He then placed the edge of his dagger next to the white knight's Armour covered neck as he threatened it.

”Let him go, and I won't kill you.” Said John as Lightning flowed through his body.

He had spoken at a much faster and incomprehensible speed as he had Sloan down time for others and sped up time for his own self, so the dark knight most likely didn't understand a single word he had said.

Despite that, the dark knight's next move showed that it showed no signs of letting the body go.

His Armour began to turn and both look more lively as something began to move inside of it, changing it's outer structure as it did so.

It moved around the whole Armour, stretching and compressing the Armour out as it did so.

As this happened, the Armour's helmet began to move around uncontrollably and disorderedly making the impression of it being possessed much bigger.

John then watched as the Dark knight hung it's head and became completely motionless. Seeing this, John stretched his arm out to the bright sword, only for it to get sliced off the instant he did so.

*Slash*

John watched as his arm fell to the ground. As this happened, the helmet began to resemble less of a helmet and more of a monster's face as it's mouth opened and it let out a loud roar.

It was an ear-piercing war cry which alerted many throughout the city. While the dark knight was distracted with it's roar. John shadow stepped over to his hand, and grabbed it before he muttered.

”Then… Death.”

As he said that, he placed his fingers on top of his blindfold before pulling it down.
