Chapter 10: Ancient Powerhouses
The top part of the knight directly disappeared, leaving only a hollow torso which collapsed to the ground. Lucien was surprised, he had actually been fighting and almost lost to a skeleton.
If that had been a real champion knight, perhaps he would still have lost even with the great gap in attributes. A champion knight was still a champion knight.
He tried to look for Selene and found her squatting morosely in the corner. He quickly walked over,
"Selene, are you hurt?" He checked her for wounds.
Selene looked at him with tears shining in her eyes, "Am too useless, my lord. I couldn't help even once when you were in danger."
Lucien sighed and bent down to pick her up, "Silly girl, what are you thinking?"
He patted her gently on the head, "You are not useless, okay."
He was surprised to see Selene's eyes widen in shock, she then pushed him out of the way, demonstrating incredible strength. And in Lucien's horrified gaze, the headless knight's sword landed on Selene's defenseless body.
Her body was sent flying, tumbling in the distance. Lucien's eyes widened in blazing fury, his buffs were activated unconsciously as he leapt at the headless knight. His fists pounded at the armor wearing skeleton, tearing it apart piece by piece.
His furious roars ceased the moment his wealth ran out and his strength lowered. This brought him back from his rage and cleared his mind. He quickly ran to her side, fearing the worst.
He knelt down at her side, surprised and gladdened by the lack of visible wounds. He was surprised to see a silvery light screen covering her entire body, it had protected her from the knight's blow.
