Chapter 44: Morbid Excitement

Knights are a general class. The people who received this class were scattered all over the world. Even before the doomsday verdict was announced, kingdoms already had specialized academies to develop sword warriors.

Aspiring knights were trained rigorously at those academies. Academies that held guidelines on kindness did not kill each other during training.

That kind of thing happened after they graduated. The knights at Silverth Mansion were diverse. But those who were standing before Gris did not have much experience.

They had witnessed people die in the Doomsday Wave. Still, the fear remained. The Soulshard Axe increased their fear, so it was too late for them to react.

Gris gave the dead knight's leg a kick. It flew toward the knights ahead of him, who quickly moved back on instinct to avoid their friend's severed leg.

"Ha! If you all come at me together, maybe you might have a chance at winning, you know?"
