From the moment he had gone on the attack, ke''s heart had begun beating thunderously and it was only after he sliced off his opponent''s head and now faced the three remaining opponents that it calmed down a little.


    Looking at the three men, ke was still contemting his next action when he felt a hard stare on his being, this stareing from the kneeling man who was looking at him with a glint.


    Sir Felix was a knight and when ke saw the dangerous glint the man threw his way, he knew that despite being on hisst legs the old soldier was ready to go into action and that he had to be ready to use the opportunity to either flee or join him to get rid of the enemy.


    A second after the glint came, Felix exploded with strength and mana, the man standing up with powerful momentum and swinging his de at the men before him and while he did that, ke who was to the side and had already calcted that his best option for survival was to help the knight vanquish the enemies also kicked forward, and though by the time he arrived close to the enemy, Felix''s charge had already been stopped by one of the men with a sword, it did not bother him as he immediately performed a skill.


    [ming sh]


    The sword ke had picked up was a normal steel sword of good weight, but as he invoked his skill, the sword''s de became set aze with fire and ke not hesitating even once swung it at one of the men who had moved to engage him.


    The man had raised his sword nning to block ke''s attack, but when ke''s ming sword collided with his, it sliced through it like it were butter and then proceeded to also slice him in half.


    The second ke''s ming sh skill ended, he felt a strong weakness hit him from within but remembering that he was still in a battle ke ignored this feeling and focused on eradicating his remaining enemies, most especially the one who had actually been able to stop Felix''s strike.


    With a fluid motion, ke reached for the head of his still standing opponent whom he had just cut in two with his left hand, grabbed his head and then with a shout yanked his upper body from his detached lower body and not minding the shower of blood that fell onto him and he flung the body with all his strength at Felix''s opponent and then narrowing his eyes quickly followed after or at least attempted to because just as he took a step forward, a sword came swinging for his head and he had to cancel his offensive ns and go on the defence.


    With haste, ke raised his sword and blocked the swing and though he found himself able tofortably hold back the de of his opponent, the speed and fluidity with which the man pulled back his sword and then sent it sailing back at him left him on the back foot and retreating.


    As ke took a few steps backwards, from the corner of his eyes, he saw the half-body he threw had collided with Felix''s opponent and felt relief when he saw that the knight was able to use that opportunity to sh his swords through the left side of his opponent.


    "Nice, "ke thought focusing back on his opponent and being a little reassured that he wouldn''t be ganged up on by two people anytime soon,


    Seconds after a few shes with his opponent and finding himself continuously on the defence, a worrying thought couldn''t help but cross ke''s mind.


    "Could he be an aspiring swordsman," ke thought but then he remembered the stringent requirements behind such a ss and shook his head.


    "No, he should be an aspiring pdin, one really skilled with the sword."


    "+20 points to my agility" ke thought and with that, his shes became a bit more favorable, but minuteter, though ke could at least more easily perform the necessary twists and turns that helped him face his opponent he could still see no way to win the duel he had be embroiled in.


    "What advantage do I have over my opponent": ke asked himself as he leaned to the side and dodged a downward swing, but then just as was getting ready to raise his left hand to block a hook which his opponent had thrown, a light bulb went off in ke''s head.


    "I need to be bolder, I''m stronger and should not be afraid to receive a bit of damage," ke thought and gritting his teeth he let his opponent''s punch hit him, and then a secondter also punched his opponent as hard as he could


    Of course, though this hit of his didn''t send his opponent falling to the ground like the first man he had killed, its surprising nature stunned his opponent and had him take a step back, and letting out a shout, ke swung his sword at him with all his might and as fast as he could, even setting it aze despite the stinging pain that erupted from within him.


    Though this time the mes on the sword were less intense, when the sword came in contact with his opponent''s de which the man had been able to bring up, it sliced through it, facing just a bit of resistance and then took off the man''s head.


    Breathing heavily, ke spent no time celebrating his victory and instead looked to Felix and seeing the man standing upright and looking at him with an impressed smile, ke fell to his knees clutching his stomach with a pain-filled expression and then despite how much he tried to stay kneeling he copsed to the floor a system prompt shing just as he passed out.
