It was one thing that Zane questioned that why weren't there any reinforcement. So he stepped out of the palace . And he saw bodies lying on the floor . Men , women , children , nobility , warriors , generals , guards , waiters , workers , were on the floor . When checked they were alive just asleep like they were under some kind of spell .
Inside .
The black knight unsheated his sword on his waist . And wielded it . Immediately readying into a stance . He rushed towards his lady who was in combat . But got stopped by
Sir McElroy instead .
He had dorned the Armor :
THE ARMOR OF THE HOLY SAINT.
In his hand was a double edged sword . A sword which increased his affinity with the land . It was a good investment for sure .
On his back was a cape that increased stats at night . THE CAPE OF NIGHT .
And he was wearing a essence of the past . Stolen from somewhere .
Hermes boots .
On his wrist he wore the band of starpower . Increased mana regeneration .
In his neck he wore the ' Mystic eye ' Increasing perception speed .
Black : Why are you standing against me .
MC : I can't let you past me . Even in my death .
Black : Let see how you keep that promise .
Black unearthed his sword from the ground itself . And now they clashed .
Their two sword slashing , blocking and parrying each other .
Black went for a stab but missed as McElroy dodged on the side and closed his distance on the blade . He used an overhead kick not on Black but on the sword . The sword went flying hitting Blacks chin .And landing besides his foot .
Black: You fight like a savage , fight like a man .
McElroy : Afraid you might lose .
Black wiped his chin from left to right . with his thumb once .
Black : Just getting started .
He unleased a flurry of stabs on McElroy . It felt like thousands of swords were going to penetrate McElroy . Thousands of swords could be seen in the air . just there moving towards McElroy .
But he just stood there . Maybe he was revising his last words . Too scared to even make a move even for his own life .
McElroy : Amateur . You are just wasting your energy .
As the tip of the sword reached his forehead . It stopped . Slowly a small amount of blood started to drip from his forehead . The blood started to flow on the sword giving it edges a red tint .
At the other end was a Black knight about to get his enclosed hilt chopped off by
Mcelroy's sword inside the enclosed hilt .
McElroy : If you had pushed some more then your fingers would have been sacrificed . leaving you unable to wiped your sword for the rest of your life .
Black : Then so be it .
He pushed the sword which was finely balanced between Mcelroy forehead and his hand . The sword instead of splitting his head open . It broke into 4 pieces .
McElroy : Would you look at that what a mess .
Black: How just how ! .
McElroy : You were fast but I was faster .
Black : Just who are you ? .
" My name is McElroy. A gatebuster ,
a hero and right now a knight for the Williams family " .
