Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 842- Knight Captain (6)

Other than being pushed back, it didn't look like Blake suffered any damage.

When Marshall Cavalier saw that, his eyebrows involuntarily bunched together as a feeling of unease appeared in his heart. Though he quickly discarded such feelings and spat—

 "You are quite tough and your stats are also well balanced. However, you are still many levels lower than me. If you think that you can cover the gap with just skills, then you must be dreaming. Next, I'll allow you to see the weapon that allowed me to reach the rank of Marshall in the kingdom of Blackthorn".

Amidst his laughter, he waved his hands and a black and white glow appeared around his hands simultaneously. That glow wrapped around his hands and formed two ancient gauntlets.

The gauntlets had a ferocious design and was embedded with numerous core stones. Terrifying energy waves that could immediately knock a low level person unconscious, radiated out of the gauntlet.

Evidently, this gauntlet was no ordinary item and was of a very high rank.

"Black and White Demon Gauntlet… I didn't think that there would come a time when I would have to use it. Nonetheless, now that I have used it, your fate is sealed. No matter how you all struggle, you won't be able to change the fate of this kingdom"

Cavalier laughed. He was just in one of those fits where he ridiculed his enemy when…

 "Are you done? If so then let's fight" Blake's serious and cold words drifted over, shutting up the talkative fellow.

"You!! Fine, since you want to die so fast, then let me fulfil your wish"

Marshall Cavalier punched out with his hand. Instantly air fluctuated and two depressions formed in the air. After which, mana along with faint greyish black energy surged out through the gauntlet and formed two faint fists that were tens of meters in size.

BUZZ… the fists vibrated with a terrifying power and charged towards Blake like a streak of light.

Fast!! That was the thought that appeared in the latter's mind when he saw the attack come flying at him at an insane speed. He only had the time to bring the shield close to him to react before the attacks smashed against him.

BOOOM… A berserk energy released from the point of collision, collapsing the ground and causing deep cracks to appear wherever the berserk energy spread.

The orange giant which was stopping the two huge fists, trembled intensely and was buried unneath along with the shattered ground.

"Blake!!" His teammates hurriedly called. Among them, Frida who was currently holding two tainted commanders and numerous tainted knights back, left her position and rushed towards the hole where Blake was buried.

"Dammit, I'll hold onto the enemies here, you all go and check whether Blake is okay"

Wyot hurriedly spoke. His eyes held a grim look as he observed the Marshall from the corner of his eyes. From the clash earlier, he could tell that Blake was no match for this guy. Although the both of them were in level 500, their enemy was clearly at the late stages of level 500 while Blake had only breached the barrier of level 500 not long ago.

Even if they have levelled up a lot due to the constant fighting and war, there was still a large level gap between them. This gap in strength cannot be simply covered up with skills.

"We need the help of the other vice guild masters if we want to defeat this guy"

Wyot's eyes roamed across the battlefield. However, when he saw that the other guilds were surrounded by numerous tainted commanders who appeared to be flooding them, he realised that the enemy planned on not letting the other teams interfere. Hence it was on them to defeat the Marshall.

"Dammit" Just as he cursed and was about to stake his life to stop the opponents from going after his friends, he felt the ground beneath him tremble.

The trembling only lasted for a second before it strangely disappeared. Following which, he was amazed to see a giant orange figure break out of the ground and land in front of their amazed eyes.

Having taken the Marshall's attack head on, the avatar he was currently transformed into, showed signs of crumbling as numerous cracks ran through the surface of his body. Evidence of the might bestowed within those two fists.

Just two attacks from the Marshall had almost destroyed his trump card. It was clear that he was no match for the latter. However, just as Frida and the others prepared to join the battle, inside the orange giant Blake's figure entered a trance of sorts.

Blood flowed down from his head, dying his skin red. The pupils in his eyes disappeared and he looked like he had lost consciousness when suddenly his body violently jolted. The blood that flowed down his body began releasing a dense crimson mist. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

That was not all, his heartbeat had also started pounding loudly and numerous blood coloured sparks burst out of his body. Like snakes, they arched all around his body before digging inside him through his pores.

BANG… a powerful shockwave that had the faint scent of blood erupted out of his body and Blake who had momentarily lost consciousness finally gained his senses back.

As he sensed the changes around him and the powerful foreign energy yet what felt extremely familiar, was coursing through his body, he was puzzled.

In the next second though, he quickly regained his footing back and used the powerful energy that was flowing through his body to bolster his strength.

Unknowingly to him, as he tapped into that power, one of his eyes showed vague signs of turning red, even his pupils wiggled appearing extremely bizarre and mysterious. Other than that, his already crimson hair turned dark until there was no difference between his hair and the colour of blood.

All of these changes seemed to have gone unnoticed by Blake who was already in motion of swinging his sword. However, how could these changes go unnoticed by Frida and the others who were observing him from the outside?

The Orange giant he had transformed into, turned blood red in a couple of seconds and gave off an intense bloody scent. Not only that, along with the change in its colour the giant also became more powerful and ruthless. As could be seen from the sword skill that the giant used.

 "Solar Blade" A powerful exclusive and rare skill of Blake's Solar Blaze Protector class had turned into a blood red sword whose each swing produced a lethal and powerful sword light that could even cleave a mountain in half and leave deep gorges in the ground.

Facing such a ferocious attack that had suddenly strengthened out of nowhere, even Marshall Cavalier was hard pressed to counter.

CLANG… CLANG… CLANG… numerous bloody sword lights and two black and white gauntlets collided numerous times in a matter of few seconds. Their intense collision produced berserk energy waves that spread out like typhoons, making it nigh impossible for anyone to approach them.

"What is going on?! How could his strength increase all of a sudden"

Having clashed with Blake so many times, Marshall Cavalier could feel that something was different. Something that even he didn't know had occurred inside the body of this man which caused his powers to increase all of a sudden.

SWOOSH… A bloody sword light came sweeping down from the sky and headed straight for his body intending to cleave him in half.

Hmph, Cavalier snorted and used his black and white gauntlet to defend. BANG… intense collision occurred and the attack pushed him dozens of meters away.

When he finally, stabilised his body, he realised that his arms had become sore and a deep gash appeared on his shoulder. Blood dripped down from that wound, it appeared that he failed to completely block out that previous attack

"Bastard, I'll kill you!!"

When he realised that, dense murderous aura flowed out of his body distorting his already twisted face even further. However, just as he stomped on the ground and was about to forward, he realised that he suddenly lost his centre of balance causing his body to be unable to muster the strength properly.

BANG…a blood coloured sword collided heavily against his body and sent him flying back like a cannonball. The ground for dozens of meters was flipped upside down and a deep gorge appeared on the ground wherever Marshall passed through.

 It was only after leaving a long deep ditch and rolling over a couple of times did Marshall's body came to a stop. Puff… a mouthful of blood came out of the latter's body.

 "What is going on?" As he held his chest and vomited out another mouthful of blood, he looked at his own weakening body and the blood red giant in the distance.

 At that very instant when he charged forward, he felt like his body had weakened, his eyes became blurry and he lost all control of his strength for a second there. This... it needs to be mentioned that he was an extremely powerful warrior with a level of 589.

 It was not only just his level, but the skill and the foundation he built was also extraordinary. Needless to say, so were his classes up until now. Each and every class he chose for class change was a rare class that raised his stats even further.

Even back in the Kingdom of Balckthorn, he was considered a powerhouse. He was below only a couple of people that one could count in their hands.
