Chapter 18: Turn
Zane slowly let the blood drip from the dagger, his eyes glowing red as he did.
[You have gained 2 stat points]
He looked at the knight, who was still stunned by the way the muscular man had died right before his eyes. The knight gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
"You bastard, I’ll cut you down!" he roared and attacked, sword swinging at full speed toward Zane’s head. But Zane pulled back quickly and dodged the attack before rushing in and getting behind the knight.
The knight tried to react fast, but before he could even turn, Zane stabbed through his armor and into the knight’s shoulder.
"Arghhhhhh!" the knight roared in pain. He tried to fight back, but Zane twisted the dagger and pushed it deeper. The knight cried in pain and collapsed to his knees.
"You are the strongest fighter in this city, yet somehow you managed to get taken down this quick," Zane said, his tone oozing with mockery.
"You bastard," the knight cursed, blood spilling from his mouth. His eyes were red as blood, and his veins bulged.
Suddenly, the knight gathered all his strength and mana, trying to channel it for one attack that would stop Zane, but all that went to hell the moment Zane spoke next.
"Don’t let that stupid idea that you can stop me get to your head," Zane said with a smile and then ripped the dagger down so hard that it cut through the armor and rolled the shoulder clean off, disconnecting the entire arm.
