Chapter 172 - The power of Black knights (2/2)

The knight went back a few steps but looked undamaged. This was one of the things Ray feared most. The Black Knights armor acted as some type of suppression device making their aura seem a lot smaller than it actually was.

Ray could never tell how powerful the Black knights were. All he knew was that they were Avrion's trump card and never left the elder's side and now he knew why. They were really powerful.

Badger and Monk were still recovering from the strike of Morfran leaving Jack and Gary being the only ones able to help Ray. They immediately went into combat with the other two knights while Ray was busy dealing with the first one.

This was the worst situation for Ray. He had to fight conservatively which he hadn't done in a while. In the past, he was able to be reckless due to his mana steal skill. He could always grow in power or use his skills as much as he liked and later use mana steel on the Red wing members but right now that wasn't possible.

Ray was trying his best to fend against the knight just using his gauntlets. If he was to use magic he would only do so at the right time. However, the Black knight was not only strong but incredibly skilled, far more skilled than the master knights.

Their swordsmanship was fast, swift and powerful. Clashes could be heard as the three of them continued to fight on the stone bridge but eventually, Ray had made a slip up completely missing with a punch of his.

The Black knight swung from the side at Ray, it managed to hit Ray's chest and pierce the Armadillo Chest piece causing a big cut along his chest and his blood to be drawn.

Gary and Jack weren't doing too great either. Both of them had yet to fully recover. Attacks that had landed on Jack that usually wouldn't have done harm to his body were starting to cause cuts. Jack was sluggish and slow from his transformation and the knight was too agile for him to land any attacks.

Gary fared only a little better manging to Block most of the Black knight's attacks but still, Garry was consistently on the defensive and saw no way of attacking back.

Ray watching the whole situation and was starting to get annoyed.

Ray then placed both hands on the ground and cast his ice bind skill on the Black knight. The Black knight's legs were frozen but they wouldn't be for long. Ray then Rushed over to Badger and Sloth and threw them over the others and into the entrance of the tunnel.

The Black knights didn't bother to try to catch the two in the air for they could deal with them later. The Black knight had finally freed himself from the ice bind but when he did, he was surprised at what he could see.

All of sudden there were two versions of Ray. Ray had cast his doppelganger skill.
