"Another one of these huge armored soldiers... I'm not surprised anymore, to be real honest." Sanghoon said as the the giant, knight-like Koul'in soldier looms over in the distance.

"It doesnt seem to be quick enough on its feet. Perhaps we can take it out faster that it can move." Bang Chan said.

"Gwooooh...." The knight exhaled.

"Be alert." Sanghoon said as he and his team pointed their guns at it.

Suddenly, the armored frost knight rushes in with great speed and jumps extremely high, aiming to crush the whole team under it's gigantic, steel feet.

"I take it back, hey, I take it back! I was just kidding!" Bang Chan hollered as his eyes widen in shock.

"Incoming, dodge it!" Sanghoon said as the team moved away from the point of impact. The icy knight lands on the steel ground, generating massive spikes onto the ground, effectively killing off several of Sanghoon's men, and flinging the remaining ones up in the air.

"Casualties... this early...! This cant be..." Sanghoon shook in disbelief as he kept his ground.

"With just one attack...! Unbelievable...!" Bang Chan gasped as he haphazardly falls onto the ground with a thud.

The knight begins to swing his giant claymore around, attempting to hit the team. Sanghoon's men quickly opens fire in retaliation, but it displays no harm to the giant knight as it continues its assault.

"His strength and defenses are tremendous...!" Sanghoon muttered.

The military leader then witnesses Jihyo rush to the huge knight, readying her crystalline blade to counterattack.

"Everyone, hold your fire, keep your distance, and make room for Jihyo!" Sanghoon ordered as the rest retreated towards the corners of the room. Jihyo waltzes towards the enemy with extreme speed and raises her Manifest over her head.

"Heaven's Descent!"

Jihyo drops her blade onto the enemy. But she was in for a surprise when the knight suddenly raises its claymore to perfectly block her attack.

"Despite his huge size, he is surprisingly fast..." Jihyo thought as she retreats.

"GWOOOOOAH!" The knight roared as it charges at Jihyo in retaliation. It then swings its mighty claymore towards the TWICE member.

Despite the size of the giant claymore, Jihyo bravely uses her own crystalline blade to block the attack. She successfully does, but it doesnt come without consequence. The eerie claymore was still heavy after all, and the swing alone is enough to level the ground, so while Jihyo was able to fully block its attack, she gets dragged several feet across the room.

Jihyo coughs in agony, pain radiating all across her body due to the effort it took to block the icy knight's attack.

"Gah... even if I successfully blocked his strike... its still a pain to do so...!" Jihyo muttered. "I'd die for an ibuprofen right now. If only Jeongyeon-ah was here..."

The knight continues its pursuit, swinging its claymore downward towards Jihyo. The wielder now decides to dodge instead of parrying the attack, and then proceeds to do everything in her power to retaliate with the use of her blade, as well as her fists and legs.

Sanghoon, Bang Chan, and the rest of their men watch as Jihyo gives her all in trying to defeat the titanic knight.

The knight continues its relentless slashes at Jihyo. The TWICE member gains momentum using her footwork, and soon discovers an opening to attack the icy knight.
