Chapter 292: Battle on shore (2)
The first opponent suffered some minor burn wounds.
The injuries wouldn’t impede the Refined Knight from unleashing havoc on the weakened and tired Knights. Seeing the person still rubbing his eyes because of the sand, Hex moved.
The bluish light on the back of his hand flashed. Ice shot out and hit the man square in the face. He aimed at his nose and mouth, blocking the opponent’s airways. Suffering the sudden ambush, the Refined Knight panicked.
Such an ambush wouldn’t last long. The man would regain his bearing in a second. A second was all Hex needed, though. He reached the man in a fraction of a second. The Ice elements coalesced into an Ice blade.
"Bastard. Fight me like a real man if –."
The Refined Knight had sensed his presence. Whatever he wished to say remained stuck in his throat, though. He fell to the ground, grabbing his neck where Hex had cut him. The Ice element fused with his body, blocking air and blood flow. Without even a gag, he fell to the ground and died.
Hex prowled in the cloud of sand dust. Searching for his next opponent. He ignored those at the Knight stage. Leaving them alive wouldn’t matter. He could kill them anytime he wished. Their numbers wouldn’t matter either. Time was of the essence. Only by prioritizing could he take optimal advantage of the situation.
In quick succession, he found two other Refined Knights with minor injuries, who were still not ready for battle. It took him little effort to kill them. Things turned tricky after that. The dust started to clear. And the opponents had enough time to recover. Worst though, was that they already discovered that someone was hunting them.
"Group!"
"Don’t leave yourself exposed."
"Use the elites as a ring of defense."
