Just as I sliced my katana down, the knight suddenly twisted his body the other side with an abnormal amount of strength, and since his chestplate was slanted, this caused my foot to slip off the side of it, making me lose balance a bit. The knight, taking advantage of my momentary disbalance, continued rolling away from me and eventually got back up to his feet, picking up his fallen saber in the process.
I finally regained my footing, and glared at him. "That sudden turn...was too strong to be your muscles alone."
He nodded. "Indeed, I admit...I used Blessing Magic to empower myself there so I could break free. I have lost to you in a fair fight, and like I said, under normal circumstances, I would have just let you kill me. However...currently, my lady's life is on the line. I have no choice but to put down my honor and fight with all I have."
"Tch..." I snorted. "So much for a noble knight."
Heya guys. Cyclxne here.
We have a bit of a depressing moment coming up soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that. In this chapter, I kinda kept the 'technique' Mei Mo is using a secret, all mysterious and stuff, but it will be revealed in detail in the next chapter.
All you need to know for now, is that some deaths will be happening next chapter. Mostly the bad people, but...some good men will fall as well. This novel does have the tragedy tag, after all.
Anyway, that's all from me for now.
And as always, I'll talk to you all again in the next chapter.
