Chapter 342 - Volume 3
Ch 121 – Furious duel
The concerned parties moved to an open area that was next to the shop, but Brendel suddenly raised his head up and saw many knights rushing over to their location. Apparently, the barrier’s activation had alerted them.
All of them had Kirrlutz’s uniforms.
[But it is strange. Why are these people here?]
The knights were still quite a distance away from them.
When Brendel returned his gaze to the young boy to indicate that he was ready for the duel, the latter had already thrown two bottles of explosives made from Alchemy.
He frowned slightly and took a step back. Even though the young boy said he would not injure him, he did not hold back at all. He did not indicate for the duel to start too.
If these two bottles were thrown onto a normal person, they would definitely be crippled and possibly die.
“Rono!” The lady who was still tied up by the vines gasped.
The knights were also shocked. They did not expect the greatest genius amongst the current Empire’s youths was gravely injured in just a single move. What was even more stunning was that his opponent used Alchemy as well, and he was not much older than the boy was.
But the commander of the knights had his shock quickly turned into anger. He could not imagine what fury the emperor would have if he knew the genius under his protection got injured, as well as what kind of fate would befall on his head.
“Kill him!” The centurion roared, but he suddenly realized that this was still the territory of the Druids, and he quickly changed his words: “No, capture that Aouine man!”
“Catch me?” Brendel’s laughter was cold: “What qualifications do you have to do so?”
He glanced at his surroundings. The twenty-odd knights had the strength of an upper-tier Silver-ranker. On one hand, it was clear that Kirrlutz had strong military power, and the other was that the boy and the lady’s identities were not simple.
Still, it was just a mere twenty-odd Silver-rankers to him.
[I shouldn’t waste any more time. They probably have strong reinforcements.]
He took a single step forward.
And an aura exploded from the youth. Under the combined might of his Gold-ranker’s strength and level 16 Aouine Military Swordsmanship, the aura took on a visible form of a white mist.
Even though he did not take his sword, the knights felt like there were countless blades pointing at them.
The centurion could not have imagined the youth had reached the standards of a Gold-ranker, and that he was already a grandmaster swordsman—
“A grandmaster swordsman!” The knights shouted as their formation was quickly broken.
The overwhelming, physical pressure from the youth could not be withstood. In just a single heartbeat, the twenty knights were completely downed.
Brendel expected this outcome. If he were to engage these knights before the events in Schafflund, it would have taken him considerable trouble to deal with them. But they were pretty much harmless to him. He spun round to look at the female aristocrat from Kirrlutz.
“D-don’t come any closer……”
