Chapter 141
The Black Knight's eyes ignited.
He swiftly swung his sword, knocking Seol away.
Claaaang!
Seol lowered his stance and swatted away the Black Knight's hand with the back of his own hand. He hoped the Black Knight would lose his grip on his sword, but the most he did was slightly shift the angle of the sword strike, nothing more.
Fwip!
Fwip!
Seol leaped back while the Black Knight paused for a moment.
"Back away," said Seol to Filia.
"O-Okay."
Filia followed Seol's instructions and began stepping back.
After all, she was recruited to track the Black Knight. Even if she was a capable combatant, she would only be a burden in close quarters.
'His equipmen...'
Seol felt something ominous from the Black Knight's equipment. The way the black shadow writhed and thrashed was definitely not ordinary.
"Watch out!" shouted Chameli.
As Chameli cried out, the voices of the Black Pilgrims began filling the village.
"Envelop him!"
[Snowman is enveloped in a halo.]
[Your elemental resistance is increased by 35% and your action speed is increased by 20%.]
Gloooow!
A radiant light enveloped Seol.
Fwip!
Fwip!
The two faced each other once more.
Fwoosh!
The Black Knight tilted his sword, attempting to cleave Seol in half.
Dash!
Seol feinted to the right, then darted to the left.
He placed himself in the opportune spot to strike the Black Knight.
Iron Fist Rule would be too slow.
"Hrgh!"
Baaam!
'It worked!'
Seol felt his attack properly land.
He could tell that his attacks worked on the Black Knight through that strike.
However, what followed was outside of his expectations.
[Insight activates.]
[Hope Devourer consumes the impact.]
[Hope Devourer currently has an empty stomach.]
[Hope Devourer digests all of the impact.]
'...What?'
Seol rolled on the floor.
Slaaaash!
Scatter!
The Black Knight's sword carved a straight line on the ground, splitting the land in two.
"Haah... Haah..."
Seol was inches from having his head severed from his body.
'Damn it! Why did Hope Devourer have to show up here?!'
