273 Chapter 273: Heavy price for victory (1/2)

At this point, the young paladin was utterly confused, even though the death mage was terrifying and powerful, Blake's power was diabolic and devilish. For some reason, he truly believed this kid is the devil and he was still hiding a huge part of his power. The young paladin only hated the death mage but for some reason, he felt that this disciple of the death mage would be the one to bring about destruction and calamity to the world.

”You have to die here!” All the fear in his eyes vanished replaced with righteous determination.

Blake watched the young paladin walk over to his magic broadsword without making a move. He patiently waited for the youth to pull the sword out of the ground and take a fighting stance before he spoke.

”You still have the courage to fight? You truly deserve all the praise I have showered upon you from the start” Blake laughed lightly while he spoke.

”I don't need your praises… I just wish to do my duty as a paladin of the creator and vanquish all evil!” the young paladin roared.

”Vanquish all evil… Duty as a paladin… if only you don't spurt out nonsense every thirty seconds I would have spared your life and made you my friend.” Blake spoke these words with an innocent look on his face.

Sliver level combat technique: Accelerate!

Wooosh!

The paladin was done talking, utilizing a silver combat technique to boost his already insane speed, the young paladin appeared right in front of Blake, brandishing his blade at him ruthlessly.

The sudden attack caught Blake off guard since he was expecting the young paladin to reply. He had only enough time to take a step back and the ten undead puppets could only take a step forward before the young paladin's blade reached his neck.

Xiu!

Blake's decapitated head was sent flying high, but the young paladin knew the battle was far from over. He watched Blake's headless body attempt to reach for its head while the undead puppets lunged at him.

”Hell no!” The young paladin roared and struck forward once again. This time he was aiming to severe Blake's body from his lower half but then he felt a sharp pain on his chest.

Puti!

The young paladin felt a sharp pain on his chest but he managed to push himself backward in a bid to create some distance between himself and all ten undead puppets. Seeing these puppets had no intention of chasing after him, the young paladin tore his shirt apart only to see a bulging spider-shaped lump on his skin. He quickly pulled out a dagger from his boot and drove it into that spot and watched green blood spray out, followed with the cries of a dying spider.

”Damn curse magic!” He muttered before he began his prayer

Holy prayer: Purify!

Holy prayer: Cure!

Using the purify spell to removed any unseen spiritual damage caused by the curse magic and the cure to heal his injuries, especially the deep cut on his chest caused by Blake's bare hand. He still couldn't understand how someone is able to use their body as a weapon, but he didn't dwell on this thought for long before pushing it aside. He had already concluded that Blake is not human, so he shouldn't be surprised if Blake does something new.

With his injuries healed, the young paladin's condition looked better but that didn't mean he was perfectly fine. The healing spells only dealt with damages and didn't focus on replenishing lost stamina. The young paladin could only walk towards Blake once again in hopes of ending this battle as soon as possible.
