550, Charles's home court

This lance, forged from the Sacred level of an ordinary member of the Blood Clan and the power of six Evil Gods, transformed into a Knight's Spear and with one thrust, sent a Spiritual Hunting Dog flying.

Though Charles managed to deflect one Spiritual Hunting Dog with his spear thrust, he was drenched in a cold sweat from the shock.

That hunting dog had almost pounced on him.

The other Spiritual Hunting Dogs were slower than Charles, and he dodged them one by one, but this particular one was especially cunning. Hiding alongside its companions, it suddenly leapt out, missing him by the barest margin.

Armed with the Knight's Spear transformed from the Blood Spirit Rhinoceros, Charles felt a burst of renewed vigor. Wielding the lance, thrusting and jabbing, he drove the pack of Spiritual Hunting Dogs back, but he was also filled with terror; despite being able to touch the Spiritual Hunting Dogs, the Knight's Spear from the Blood Spirit Rhinoceros could not harm them.
