"Arrogant fool!"
The Headless Knight flew into a rage, and the fleshy warhorse beneath him let out a neigh.
He raised his Knight's Lance high. The ground shattered beneath his tremendous force as his enormous warhorse leaped up. A scarlet glow of death enveloped his lance, and he charged at Lin En once again.
Boom-
The ground beneath Lin En's feet exploded.
The power of this strike was terrifying. An ordinary ability user struck by it would probably have been reduced to a puddle of minced flesh on the spot.
But Lin En had already anticipated his attack and instantly leaped nearly a hundred meters backward.
Yet in the very next instant, the Headless Knight shot forward like a bolt of lightning. Almost the moment Lin En landed, he charged straight at him, closing the distance in the blink of an eye.
He was far too fast!
He even left trails of afterimages behind him.
This was a knight's advantage. On the battlefield, the moment you tried to put distance between yourself and one, they could immediately gather momentum and launch a devastating countercharge.
With the added power of his charge, this thrust would be several times stronger than his previous attack!
Whoosh-
Almost the instant the knight charged at him, Lin En sidestepped, evading the strike powered by a hundred-meter charge.
But the Headless Knight's battlefield experience and reflexes were equally astonishing. Almost as soon as Lin En finished dodging, the Knight's Lance abruptly changed course, tearing a massive, bone-deep wound across his chest.
Blood splattered everywhere.
"Master!"
Salgon roared.
But Lin En's expression remained calm, a smile still on his face.
He looked down at his torn-open chest, but within an instant, the gaping wound began knitting itself together, as though he had never been injured.
"Not bad."
