Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent

The Elite Knight felt a heavy and oppressive aura locking in on him, making his heart drop.

This aura must be from that person!

He turned his head at the warrior charging at them with unstoppable force. He wielded a double-bladed spear, the weapon used by the famous Warrick.

"It's him! Warrick!"

The Elite Knight exclaimed.

"Focus your attacks on that person!" He commanded his men.

He rushed forward, leading his men in an attempt to stop Warrick.

However…

"Do you think a mere Elite Knight can stop me?!" Warrick's indifferent voice drifted into his ears.

In the next moment, a terrifying power was unleashed upon them, making their hearts palpitate with fear!

Bang!

With a swing of his double-bladed spear, Warrick effortlessly killed the Elite Knight's small team!

Looking at the corpses of his comrades, the Elite Knight was filled with disbelief.

Is there really that much of a difference between our strengths?

He lifted his severely wounded body while looking at Warrick's formidable figure. With a bleak smile, he said. "You might be powerful, but can you stop four Transcendent Knights by yourself?"

Warrick remained unperturbed by his words. He swung his double-bladed spear and ended the man's life.

Khshhk!

A powerful Elite Knight fell just like that.

Warrick flicked his weapon and looked at the destroyed gates with a grim look.

He could sense that the enemy's main army was about to enter.

"The enemy's main army is about to enter! Rally behind me and form and defensive formation!" He shouted.

Hearing his commands, the warriors of House Silversword and House Keller quickly moved into formation. The mercenaries weren't used to these formations so they moved sloppily.

Warrick noticed this, but there was no time to correct them. He could only pray that those hired warriors wouldn't slow them down during the battle.

Soon, the ground trembled and the partially destroyed gates were blasted into smithereens. More enemies entered, rushing in with ferocious expressions.

Warrick saw a familiar figure leading the enemies. It was Treston, the old warrior he had fought recently.

Seeing him, Warrick's face fell.

Just then, he sensed another powerful aura, but it didn't stop there. Two more Transcendents appeared!

Warrick tightly gripped his weapon while looking at the four figures.

"Warrick, you should surrender! There is no need for you to fight a losing battle!" Treston's voice echoed.

Hearing this, Warrick took a deep breath. "Sir Treston, I am a warrior of House Silversword and I have been tasked to protect this estate."

His eyes suddenly turned cold as he added.

"You won't be able to go through this passage without killing me!"

Treston sighed and shook his head.

How foolish…but I can't blame him. He is only trying to fulfill his task just like me…

However, your ending won't be good if you fall into the hands of that person…

Thinking about this, he moved his gaze toward a middle-aged man who was holding a sword sword. It was Xavier Coldstone.

I will retire after this battle is over. I'm tired of these meaningless battles.

While he was immersed in his thoughts, a weird voice suddenly drifted over.

"So you are Sir Warrick. You are quite the looker, aren't you?"

Warrick raised an eyebrow as he looked at the man holding a short sword.

That insignia… Is he from House Coldstone? Then he must be Xavier Coldstone!

"Where is Fredrinn?!" He stared deeply at Xavier.

"I don't understand what you are talking about," Xavier responded with a snicker.

Warrick was furious and his aura leaked out because of his agitation.

"In that case, I will force it out of your mouth!" He bellowed as he urged his mount to charge.

Xavier grinned when he saw this. With a depraved look, he shouted. "Warrick is mine! No one must interfere!"

Treston frowned at his words, while the other two Transcendents hesitated.

"What should we do, Sir Treston?" One of the two Transcendents asked.

The old warrior furrowed his eyebrows. "We must kill Warrick!"

"But what about Sir Xavier?"

Treston snorted in response. "I will deal with him."

This is the only thing I can do for you, Warrick. I might as well kill you than let you suffer in the hands of that bastard.

"Let's go!" Treston yelled as he charged forward. The two Transcendents no longer hesitated and followed him.

At this moment, Xavier and Warrick clashed, causing a storm of dust around them!

Bang!

When their weapons clashed, Xavier realized that he had severely underestimated his opponent's strength.

This strength…

Warrick sent him flying into the air after that one clash! He then crashed into the wall with a 'bang'!

"Warrick, don't hate me for this!" Treston suddenly appeared in front of him and swung his weapon with immense force!

Whoosh!

Warrick frowned. He quickly lifted his sword to block his attack.

Clang!

A loud 'clang' echoed as their weapons collided!

He is really different! Xavier's strength is shit compared to this man.

Warrick gritted his teeth as he imbued more mana into his arms and his sword.

"We're here to support you, Sir Treston!"

The two Transcendents finally appeared and attacked Warrick in separate directions.

Warrick felt an unprecedented amount of pressure from facing the simultaneous attacks of these Transcendents.

He pushed himself back to evade the two Transcendents.

Bang! Bang!

After their attacks had missed, they relentlessly pursued Warrick and released a series of powerful strikes that caused the ground to shake!

Dammit! I can't hold on for too long!

Injuries appeared on Warrick's body and they slowly accumulated as the battle progressed.

"He is mine!" A cold voice echoed above him.

Warrick lifted his head and saw Xavier descending while brandishing his sword!

He immediately twisted his body, avoiding the attack by a hair's breadth.

Bang!

Warrick looked at the four Transcendents before him and felt a wave of fatigue. He tried his best to hold them back, but he had reached the limits of his stamina.

I can't die just yet!

A burst of fearsome power erupted from him as he released his remaining mana!

"Come at me!"
