"Lie down!" An armored knight jumped at Angele and hit him hard .
*BAM*
They passed by the leader of the black robes and started fighting in the sky . Silver flames sparked as their swords contacted .
"For the church!"
"God bless us!"
The black robes from the church shouted and drew their maces . They raised the maces and they were about to charge at Angele, however, they were stopped by the fissure on the ground .
Angele held the sword tight and slashed forward .
*Clank*
The blade blew the armored knight away; the knight rolled several times on the ground and hit the tree . It was the knight with an eye patch . Blood leaked out of his armor, and no one knew if he was still alive . He just lay by the tree without moving an inch .
Angele checked the surroundings and noticed that most of the knights were stopped by the fissure . They were trying to find a safe place to stand, however, the leader of the black robes was walking to him with a calm expression on the face .
He swung the sword and drew a cross in the air .
"You never learn…"
"God is watching us!" the leader roared and threw the mace at Angele; his body was coated by a thin white glow .
*BAM*
The mace landed where Angele was standing at and left a one-meter-wide hole on the ground .
Angele's expression changed after he dodged the attack .
"Interesting…" He leaped to the side and dodged another attack . The leader picked the mace up; the spikes on the mace were illuminated by the white glow .
Angele kicked the leader hard when he missed the attack .
*BAM*
The leader almost fell to the ground, Angele's Strength was over 30, however, it seemed like the leader was not severely injured . Although the white glow on his body was weakened, he roared and his muscles suddenly started growing . He looked much taller and stronger than before .
The leader charged to Angele like an angry bear .
The attack still missed and Angele kicked the leader in the waist again . The leader fell to the ground but he quickly stood up and it felt like he was not feeling any pain .
Angele's expression turned serious as blue light dots flashed in front of his eyes .
Rows of data were being refreshed by the leader's body, he could even see the electrocardiography and the electroencephalography in his sight . The man's heart rate was over five times per second .
'Target is recovering… He'll fully recover in five seconds,' Zero reported back quickly .
Angele looked at the leader who just stood up and scanned his body .
'I already used all my force when kicking him, although I'm not in my true form, the attack can easily knock a mammoth out . The white glow is the problem—80 percent of the damage was blocked by the white glow and he recovered from the injury within seconds . He's just a group leader in the church but he's so strong…' He finally knew why they could eliminate the wizards . The energy density in this area was low and the servants of the church buffed their bodies using a certain technique . It was nearly impossible for an average wizard to win a fight like this .
'My Strength is 33 and an average mortal's Strength is 1 but this guy is not even hurt… He can probably handle an average wizard easily…' Angele stopped thinking and slashed backward .
*CHI*
A black robe behind Angele was hit by the tip of the blade, his forehead was pierced and he fell to the ground while the mace was still in his hand .
Angele quickly pulled the blade out of the black robe's forehead and blocked the mace from the leader .
He stabbed the leader using the tip of the sword but it was stopped by the white glow around the man's body .
*WOO*
It sounded like the blade was vibrating, Angele could feel the strong force coming from the handle of the sword and could barely hold it steadily .
"Die!" he shouted and moved the sword away from the leader . Angele's body started spinning like a gyroscope .
The silver blade drew numerous silver lines in the air and the slashes all landed in the center of the leader's chest .
*CHI CHI CHI*
Two more armored knights charged toward Angele while he was spinning but they were blown away right away . The two knights landed in the forest and fainted .
*Crack*
A black crack appeared in the center of the leader's chest and Angele's sword finally went through the man's body . The bloody tip of the sword appeared on the other side of the leader's body .
Angele held the sword using both hands and kicked the leader in the waist while pulling his sword out of the man's body .
'It's over . I just need to focus all force at one point and repeat the process multiple times . ' Angele inhaled deeply . He did not use any wizard power or bloodline power this time . He felt tired because his opponent had a strange shield and a strong body .
*PA*
The leader of the black robes fell to the grass floor and looked at the night sky with a pair of soulless eyes . The sapphire ring on his right hand was still releasing some white light .
Angele walked to him and removed the ring from his hand . The remaining white glow quickly disappeared from the man's body .
"God will… punish you…" he spoke when the blood was still coming out of his mouth and stopped breathing a couple seconds later .
Angele looked at the ring in his hand, it was a silver ring with a sapphire on it . The sapphire was clean and attractive .
He glanced around and noticed that most of the black robes were caught in his blade dance . There were also black robes who died in the fissure, however, some of the knights escaped . He knew that he knocked some of the knights out during the battle, but he was not sure if they were still alive or not .
Angele's wooden house was still burning, he stood in front of the dancing flames and wiped the blood off his blade .
"I should leave now… I've already collected the painting and the things that are important to me . I didn't kill all the knights because I need them to send the message back . The church will go after us and Vivian will have more time to escape," he muttered as he played with the sapphire ring . He walked to the forest and finished off the fainted knights .
"If I used any of the three battle styles, a fight like this'd be finished in seconds…" Angele lowered the crossguard sword as a bitter smile appeared on his face . He was fighting enemies with strange powers as a swordsman with a strong body . Also, the crossguard sword he was using had average quality .
Angele glanced at the fissure on the ground as he stopped thinking . He created the fissure using the sword skill he developed, he did not use any of the wizard power or bloodline power .
He decided not to waste any more time and started heading to the town .
He increased his speed and rushed to the town . Angele arrived at an arched bridge a couple minutes later, the bridge was the only exit of the town .
Teams of guards in white armor were patrolling around the bridge . Two leader-looking guards with helmets were having a conversation while looking at the burning fire on the hill .
On the other side of the bridge, people from the town were also looking at the fire by the bridge . Angele noticed that Vivian was also in the crowd .
He hid in the shadow and moved to the left side of the river . He jumped over the river and entered the town with no problem after he made sure that no one else was around .
Angele thought for a while and threw the crossguard sword into the river . He wiped the dust off his body and retrieved a damaged black coat from the mirror . He put on the coat and headed to his shop .
He could see the patrolling guards on the street; the guards were checking the surroundings constantly with torches in their hands .
Angele increased his speed and returned to his shop within half a minute .
He jumped over a wall and entered the quiet backyard; he could hear Fra breathing in the room .
"Fra? Wake up, there's a problem, we need to leave," Angele spoke in a low voice . He pushed the door open and entered the room .
There was a small storage room behind the shop . It was used just for storage but Angele put a wooden bed in it so Fra could use it as a bedroom .
Fra was sitting on the bed quietly, she leaned against the wall and remained silent .
"Get ready, Fra, we need to leave tonight . Something happened to the people from the church," Angele walked to Fra and looked at her .
Fra raised her head and spoke in a hoarse voice, "I thought you were going to hand me in and claim the reward…"
"Why? Because you didn't see me after you wake up?" Angele patted the girl's head . "Well, I'm going to sell you to someone else for even more money after you grow up . " He pulled Fra's cheeks . "Alright, go get ready now . "
Fra looked frightened and confused . She lost her entire family and Angele was her last hope . She was wanted by the church—although the reward might not be attractive to everyone, she still doubted if Angele was really trying to help her . Also, Fra knew that her relatives that did not live in this town would be executed sooner or later .
They quickly packed everything into two large cases and put all the silver coins they had into a large leather pouch .
Angele took out some black mud and applied it on Fra's birthmark . The black birthmark quickly turned into the color of her skin .
"A little trick but it will return to normal after the mud is dry . We need to hurry . " Angele poured the rest of the mud on Fra's hair and turned her hair white .
They dragged the two cases out of the shop carefully .
It was late in the night and most of the local people already returned to their houses .
It was quiet on the street but there were still guards patrolling the area .
Angele grabbed Fra's hand and headed to the exit of the town .
