Chapter 346: The top knights
All three of them attacked Cedric at once; unlike the other knights, who were shirtless, the top knights were fully clothed. They were drenched by the heavy downpour, making their clothes stick to them, and some of their muscles bulged out of their clothes.
Swords clashed, adrenaline pumping through their veins. Abrielle’s eyes were on Cedric; he was wearing a bit of colour with blue tops and black trousers and boots. His hair was tied up with some strains sticking on his face as the rain poured on him.
Axel, being as impatient as always, charged first; Axel had dull grey hair and black eyes; among the top knights, he was the biggest with the highest temper. He was from a commoner background.
Cedric read his movements and knew exactly where Axel was charging at. He was aiming below. As Axel was about to attack, Elias appeared behind him from the shadows.
Elias, being the strongest of his knights, was the best at shadow movement. He had a lean build, a bit shorter than Cedric, who was around 208m, and Elias was around 190m, which was considered still very tall. Elias has dark blue hair, which could be mistaken as black, with hazel eyes. Elias actually came from a noble background and could be considered Cedric’s closest acquaintance.
They would have been friends if Cedric was the type that had friends. They met when Elias was 17 on his first mission, Cedric was 16 at the time and was already a new general at that time. The youngest in the history of Draconia. He was the useless youngest son of a baron who sent his son Elias to battle to man him up as his father described.
Elias has 5 elder brothers, so the military was the only way he could make a name for himself. Cedric had personally trained Elias then and taught about how to harness his magic skill of concealment and body enhancement, which Elias had no idea he possessed because his family was never the time to go to war.
It wasn’t a teleportation skill but a skill that helped you conceal your presence, making you seem invisible, hiding in the darkness, but his sneak attack could not work on Cedric, who sensed his bloodlust miles away.
Cedric tackled Elias first pushing off to Axel, disorienting the tank that wanted to avoid Elias. Cedric had barely touched them and he was already down.
