480 Asura Mode

The fifty-something knights approached me in a crescent formation. Their giant armor coated the whole thing of my imaginative and prescient, giving off an intimidating look.

Nonetheless, it was too unhealthy that they selected the mistaken time to seem.

After they reached about three meters earlier than me, simply as they had been about to swing their swords down, my physique moved.

This time, as my eyes acquired accustomed to the elevated pace, I may now observe my very own actions.

I took a giant step ahead, lowering the gap between me and the frontmost knight to nothing. Because it occurred in lower than 0.01 seconds, the knight could not react in time.

*ZIIIN!*

The [Variable Energy Blade] in my hand shortly swung upward, slicing the knight in half.

“…?”

However after I minimize by way of one, I seen one thing unusual. The armor was robust! If not for the Vitality Blade having the property of “piercing any defenses” utilized to it, then I might most likely be unable to even scratch it!

A second later, the opposite knights caught my determine and shortly adjusted the trajectory of their blades. They skillfully moved to not hit their comrades whereas making certain that I had nowhere to run.

‘Nice teamwork!’

I could not assist however reward in my thoughts. Nonetheless, regardless of how nice their coordination was, it was meaningless in entrance of uncooked energy.

As my thoughts was processing the knowledge half a second forward, it was continually operating at full capability. To make issues worse, the extra variables there are, the extra frequent the long run prediction modifications, and the extra pressure my thoughts would endure.

In brief, the quicker the enemy’s response pace was, the more serious it acquired for my scenario.

“UGH!”

I gritted my enamel whereas enduring the ache.

Blood gave the impression to be flowing down my eyes and nostril now, however I ignored them utterly and tried to observe by way of with the instructions coming from my mind.

Three steps ahead introduced me to the facet of one of many knights once more, and this time, I did not swing my blade to take his life. As an alternative, I used his giant physique as a defend, defending me from many of the swords coming down on prime of my head.

Then, from that place, I began to swing the [Variable Energy Blade], slicing the remainder of the knights behind him in half. In a single swing, 5 guys fell!

After that, I took one other three steps ahead, weaving by way of the falling corpses, and did the identical factor on repeat.

And with one clear swipe, his head was lastly liberated from his physique. After that, there ought to be no extra threats to us, with cleansing up the knights the one factor remaining.

“W-Will…”

“…!”

However earlier than I seen, one of many knights managed to achieve the place Fina and the remainder had been. Yorm and Judy had fallen to the bottom with giant, lethal wounds, and Julia was kneeling on the ground and on the point of loss of life.

“No…”

How did I miss him?!

With rage, I rushed to the knight, who was grabbing Fina by her neck, and swung the sword in my hand.

*THUD!*

However earlier than I may come inside vary, the opposite knights managed to intercept me. A kick managed to hit my again, sending me rolling ahead. Did the long run sight miss that assault too?!

“… No.”

It is not that [Asura Mode] was shedding its impact, however fairly resulting from my physique turning slower, now not capable of meet up with the instructions from my mind.

‘I wasted an excessive amount of time…!’

I gritted my enamel whereas resolving myself to make use of one in every of my trump playing cards.

“System’s Heavenly Halo!”

With a shout, as if attempting to launch all my anger, I referred to as upon the System’s operate and healed my accidents. My physique returned to its earlier, wholesome state, however my vitality took fairly a dip.

With my physique now capable of transfer as beforehand, I continued operating, extending a hand ahead.

“FINA!”

As if realizing that he was at an obstacle, the knight did not linger for lengthy and as a substitute opened a portal behind him.

Then he stepped into it, together with Fina, earlier than vanishing.
