บท 62: Free Elixir?!!

A knight-like shadow holding a lance had already manifested behind him. This was the effect of Shadow Piercer. It created a somewhat real and somewhat illusory Knight who would attack the person Carl desired. Carl willed, and almost simultaneously, the knight behind him jumped out and threw the lance at Roy before disappearing. It took a great amount of Aura to keep the knight manifested, but Carl lacked that.

"Whoosh!"

As the lance shot at him, he fell under great pressure. This attack wasn't something he should take head-on. The strength of this illusory knight was no less than a Weapon Master, and that was because its summoner was someone as pathetic as Carl.

Roy put two shields in its way.

"Bam!"

The lance shattered both of them before disappearing.

"I got you!' By that time, Carl had reached a step away from Roy, and his Shadow Piercer stabbed to the front of his chest.

If this hit landed, he would die, and Carl would wash all shame away from his soul.
