Chapter 16: Elite knight
The enemy's sword struck his with imposing force that threatened to disarm and bisect him. That was what would have happened, had Lucien's sword mastery not been level four. As luck would have it, Lucien's sword mastery was level 4 and he had comprehended momentum.
He sensed the momentum behind the strike and angled his sword to flow along with it. His recently strengthened agility came in handy, allowing Lucien's body to follow his intention. His body was launched back gracefully as he spun in the air and dissolved the strike's momentum.
He landed on his feet stably and turned his sword toward the opponent. His opponent on the other hand had a stunned expression of disbelief;
"Impossible. You are supposed to be a crippled disgrace." He couldn't believe it.
Out of his normal caution, he had set down his pride as an elite knight and sneak attacked Lucien.
He hadn't wanted anything to go wrong, so he aimed to swiftly finish the two of them quickly and efficiently, who would have thought that Lucien would be able to block his attack. Lucien on the on the other hand observed his foe.
Lucien's eyes narrowed as he studied the man. Tall and wiry, the knight wore light metallic armor designed for speed. Unlike his comrades who favored heavy broadswords, this one gripped a longsword, lean and sharp.
With a quiet command, Lucien activated his appraisal.
