Chapter 35: Escape
At this moment the knight's sheath shined blue, and the sword shot out of it at a speed impossible to follow.
The knight swung his enhanced sword with great momentum. sending out an arc of destructive magic.
The demon disappeared with a blur before the strike could reach him and reappeared almost immediately near the lanky knight.
With a single mighty kick, the knight was sent flying across the room and into the wall on the very end.
"As weak as ever. When will you learn?" The demon demonstratively shrugged his shoulders and sighed in disappointment.
The fight was not over; however, the man quickly climbed out from the hole in the wall. His armor still looked pristine; its enchantment was strong.
They were about to engage in a full-on battle, and while it was exciting to look at for Cyril, it was inadvisable to be anywhere near them at the moment.
Richard was sweating at this point; one hand was holding up the group from falling into the battlefield, and his other hand slowly aimed at the unbroken wall closest to them.
With a spell, he turned the metal wall to rust and then to dust, opening up a convenient path for them to escape.
Below, the knight and the demon were already exchanging some blows.
Of course the archdemon had the upper hand; he simply toyed with his opponent. Appearing anywhere instantaneously at will, sending explosions and mocking whenever he could.
