Chapter 54
Three Squad. Martial arts that cannot be given up.
The madman, shockingly, grabbed the shield blocking his hand and crushed it.
"If that bare hand grabs my body, there'll be nothing left of me!"
Gripping the crumpled shield tightly, Seowoon and Kichan charged at the man who was breaking the knight's stance.
Naturally, Kichan swung his blade toward the pressure points clustered across the body, while Seowoon took a wide step and threw a punch aimed at the madman's Myeongmun acupuncture point.
Even with his back grabbed, even as a razor-sharp blade soared toward his heart, the madman didn't flinch and stayed focused on the knight. But then, his body hesitated.
The instant he sensed a fierce energy targeting his Myeongmun, he dropped the shield and quickly twisted his body to retreat.
Watching the madman retreat for the first time, Seowoon became certain.
A flash of inspiration had struck when he heard the word "vital essence."
A martial art that absorbs another's life force, just like his own.
But unlike Seowoon, the madman needed to replenish Yang energy—a demonic martial art.
