NOVEL NEXT Chapter 95- Summons From the Royal Palace
A few seconds later, a transformed Rattleboots stepped forward. Eyes masked in insanity, armor gleaming with a dark light, and an aura that unsettled others. The person who came out looked quite different.
That said, there was one thing about him that couldn't be denied. It was his aura, Rattleboots' aura at this moment had climbed onto a whole different realm.
Feeling the changes in the other party, Reinhardt's eyes finally contained some seriousness. Quickly, he activated [Eyes of Divine Clarity] to gain some clarity as to what was going on.
"So this place has fallen this low, huh. It makes me sick".
"Kehehe, this is it. This is the poweeer I need. Reinhardt, I will defeat you using this strength" Even Rattleboot's voice changed.
[Earth Spike] The latter wasted no time in displaying his newfound powers. With the swing of his sword, the earth erupted out in a domineering fashion, changing into a large pillar of spikes as they charged towards Reinhardt.
SLASH… right as they were about to pierce through his body, the earth spikes along with the skill was disintegrated into dust.
"Wha?" Rattleboots looked confused but continued to spam his skills.
[Earth Gloves]… [Pit of Death]… [Landfall]… [Great Divide]… bolstered by his current state, the skills dished out by him packed an immense amount of power, capable enough to change the topography around them.
Giant columns of hands protruded out of the earth and punched towards the Divine Paladin in an attempt to smash him to pulp. Earth parted to reveal pitfalls filled with spikes, the ground shifted, surfacing up and causing the land to collapse.
In a matter of seconds, the entire northern district of the city was consumed by the power of the commander of the Tinker knights. Nevertheless, no matter what he did or what skills he used, none were able to come close to him, much less even touch the clothes worn on Reinhardt's person.
"Are you done? Then it's my turn. I will use you to gauge the power of the third technique of my [Holy Blade Arts]?"
All along he had been using the first two fundamental techniques of the [Holy Blade Art] to slash any skill his opponent sent towards him. Seeing that the blade on his hand was still fine even after that, he couldn't help but want to experiment with it more.
"If I control my strength, it will be alright. [Holy Blade Arts] Third Technique- Radiant Cascade".
Reinhardt rushed forward. His speed was so fast that he practically disappeared from Rattleboots' field of vision. When the latter did spot him, he was already behind him.
SLASH… SLASH… SLASH… his blade dance with such blistering speed that it morphed into something resembling a shattered mirror.
.
.
Coming back to the present.
"So that is the power of a level 10 knight, huh? Y-You monster!"
Rattleboots fell, his armor along with his body cut it many pieces. As for the other fights, they ended the moment the two commanders began their battle. Now with their commander dead, the tinker knights dropped their weapons and threw in the towel.
"W-We won!!" The squires rejoiced, still excited from the thrill of the battle.
"Hmm, I didn't plan on cutting him up. Looks like I'll need to look into that. In any case, this really is a good sword."
The blade was completely fine even after Reinhardt abused it like that. Just as he was thinking that, a signal was fired in the sky that was slowly starting to brighten up.
"Looks like they are also done over there too."
Reinhardt picked Rattleboots' sword and headed over with the squires to regroup with everyone else. By the time dawn came, the Order of the Temple of Light that came to siege the city was already heading back after accomplishing their mission.
Back in Baron Chetak's mansion, with everyone gone or deserting the place, the place looked quite dreary. A faint silhouette slowly emerged from the darkness.
"Yes, they were attacked by Reinhardt led Order of the Temple of Light. Baron Chetak has been captured along with the others, and the underground slave market is in ruins".
It was impossible to see the figure; however, it appeared that they were talking to someone.
"Yes, I have destroyed all the evidence that could associate him with you. As for the sword, I was unable to retrieve it with Reinhardt keeping it in his person".
At closer look, it appeared that the silhouette was talking to some kind of device on his hand that was receiving and transmitting signals.
"It's too bad that we couldn't retrieve it."
"Master, I don't think there is any need to worry. The Divine Paladin must have picked the sword as a sign to remember his opponent. I doubt he sensed anything unusual".
"Hmph, don't underestimate a level 10 knight. They are beings beyond the reach of comprehension. Return back, with Reinhardt taking such actions, the capital is going to be quite noisy for a while".
.
.
Three days later, Reinhardt and his Order of the Temple of Light returned back to their stronghold. The kidnapped demi humans returned back to the village with Zerina and the others.
"You helped us out again, Sir Reinhardt. Counting the incident from the Toto village and now this, we are extremely indebted to you. Are you sure you don't want anything as a reward? Really, if it's you, you can ask anything."
At the crossroad that led to the demi human village, Zerina slowly approached closer and stuck her body against him.
Her sexy body, coupled with her skimpy clothing and wild nature, made her advances more flirtatious. As the chief of the panther tribe, not only was she strong, but she was one of the most beautiful demi human Reinhardt had ever seen.
If it were anyone else, they would have really been inclined to push this beauty down right at this instant.
As this was not the right time and place, he distanced himself from Zerina and matched her gaze with a serious look.
