Chapter 42: 42: Kyros’s Juggling Skills

"Kill!" Kyros ordered as he began to stab the heads of the pile of lizards that were now stepping on each other.

The knights roared and began to attack as well.

And while the knights were hacking down on the monsters, the Shadow Familiar, the Shadow Ghouls had secretly moved out and began to attack the legs of the lizards that were climbing over their companions.

Because the lizards were still charging recklessly, the sudden stampede caused them to bump on their allies. They started to crawl and jump on top of their allies. But the secret attacks of the shadows in the chaos only led to more stumbling lizards.

The group kept hacking and attacking.

Kyros kept a close watch at his back.

The ground behind him was deathly quiet and didn't even tremble as the lizards were approaching the knights as a predator would slowly sneak up on their prey.

"On my mark..." Kyros slowly ordered and waited for the right moment.

The lizards were now only ten meters from where they were.

But even then, Kyros did not issue the command.

The totality of Kyros's experience was being relived. He imagined himself as a hunter waiting for that sweet moment when he would pounce for the kill.

In his mind's vision, he even saw himself as a lizard driven by instinct. The lizard slithered underground and could only smell their prey. The lizard smiled and prepared to attack.

"Now!" Kyros ordered as he stabbed on the ground behind him.

The three vampires ran carrying the torch that Kyros had and zipped past the many lizards with their amazing speed.

"ROAR!" The roars of the lizard erupted as the lizards emerged from the ground in chaotic order.

The lizard nearest to the group was stabbed by Kyros. He couldn't even emerge as he was already killed with the sword stab that miraculously struck right on the mark.

The sudden rush of the vampires drew the attention of most of the lizards.

The Vampires even stabbed on the ground when they could. Although their stabs weren't deep, they still wounded and surprised the lizards, who emerged angrily.

The chain reaction of emerging lizards created a disorder in the long line of lizards behind them.

The knights and Aron also made their charge. The distracted lizards had already turned their backs on them and were chasing the vampires that zipped past them.

Only Aron would stab or hack the lizards and kill them as he retreated.

Kyros was even bolder. He was using the emerging lizards as a footstool and began to expertly run on top of the heads of the lizard. And as he was hoping and stabbing the lizards, he would send the black energy of his Cloak to cover one of the knights who would have otherwise been attacked.

The knights were surprised at yet another ace their Young Lord revealed and used it to escape the attacks.

Kyros would command the Cloak of Darkness to transfer its cloaking ability to the knight who needed it or would have been killed. As the Cloak could cover up the scents of the knights, it allowed the knights to easily and quickly zip by the lizards.

"Keep rushing! Slash when necessary! But slash to move forward and not to kill!" Kyros ordered.

As this was happening, the Shadow Familiar and the Ghouls had also begun to charge alongside the knights making sure that none of them would get stuck or wounded.

"Avary! The torch!" Kyros ordered.

With the [Oration] skill in effect, Avary threw it without hesitation. The timing of Kyros's orders was also accurate as Avary had just passed the last line of burrowed lizards.

Gregory and Scarlet quickly passed the last lizard and immediately began to fight.

As the torch was a certain distance from Kyros, it immediately disappeared and appeared on Kyros's hand. He had been willing the object to enter his inventory to retrieve it quickly, but he got alerts that the object was too far. Only when the torch was five meters from Kyros did it finally work.

With the torch in one hand, Kyros used the sword in his other arm to stab a decapitated head of a lizard. He then continued to jump on top of the lizards.

"Knights! Stay low!" Kyros ordered.

As he did that, Kyros began to torch the head of the lizard.

"Burnt lizard! My favorite!" Kyros laughed.

[Taunt skill activated.]

The lizards then noticed the bright and burning figure of Kyros who was over their heads, and it enraged them.

With him driving the aggression, the knights and even Aron slipped past the lizards by keeping their heads low as they moved.

The lizards began to crowd and rush towards the leaping Kyros, who began to execute a wall run.

Suddenly, the torch disappeared, and Kyros pulled the Cloak of Darkness's effects back to him.

The disappearance of Kyros was so sudden and event the sudden change of light affected them that the lizards halted their charge and began to search where Kyros was.

Suddenly, the light appeared once more, and Kyros was now visible. He stepped on the head of one lizard and decapitated another lizard nearby.

All of a sudden, Kyros disappeared once more. He had been sending the torch to his inventory and brought it out again. Luckily, Kyros's experiment worked. The torch managed to stay lit up after sending it to the inventory and bringing it back up. With this, Kyros managed to move from one place to the other. Kyros wasn't moving in a straight line this time but would jump back and forth, killing and stabbing some.

"Kyros! Look out!" Aron warned.

Kyros was alerted and looked back and found a strange black bolt headed towards him.

Kyros used the Sword of Ten Thousand Grudges to block the blade and activated Dark Consumer at the same time.

BOOM!

Kyros was still knocked back from the impact of the attack and stumbled backward. While most of the dark energy was absorbed,

Kyros was defenseless with his Cloak dispersed and the torch a few meters away from him, and a nearby lizard lunged to bite Kyros.

"Knight's Charge!" Aron roared.

SMASH!

The Lizard was knocked back, and Aron began to attack.

Kyros immediately stood up and ran, quickly withdrawing the torch. Aron also retreated as he began to attack and stab the enemies. But soon, Aron was surrounded as he didn't have the nimble skills of Kyros.

"Throw me those sword spares I improved!" Kyros shouted, and a knight immediately reacted and threw it.

Kyros kept his item in his inventory, caught the sword, and immediately marked it for his inventory as he dove towards Aron's location.

A lizard was stabbed with the Vermillion Earth Sword, and Kyros didn't even bother to pull it as he quickly retrieved the Not a Spare Swords out and slashed on another.

The Vermillion Earth Sword was then sent to the Inventory as Kyros willed it and began to stab, slash or stick a torch on the mouth of a lizard and would send it back to the inventory.

It was as if Kyros was juggling the Vermillion Earth Sword, the Sword of Ten Thousand Grudges, the Not a Spare Sword, and the magical torch to attack the lizards.

Aron was stunned as to how fast Kyros was able to make an opening by attacking key places that would stagger, stun or make the lizards take a step back.

Kyros managed to open a small path for Aron could run through.

"Kyros! Evade! Knights Charge!" Aron shouted as he activated his skill.

Kyros dove out of the way as Aron plowed through the lizards who were still grimacing from Kyros's attack.

With the pair out of the circle of enemies, they began to run out and escape.

The Knights and the vampires were now out of the circle harassing the lizards. Thanks to Kyros's attention-grabbing taunt, only a few were fighting with the lizards.

Kyros was also harassing and attacking the lizards and would throw the Not a Spare Sword or the Vermillion Earth swords to the Lizards who were charging at him.

If the lizard would block or evade, the sword would mysteriously vanish, and Kyros would suddenly be armed with a sword that would stab the lizard or strike it.

Kyros would then move forward and retrieve the sword as he ran.

Like this, the feints and attacks of Kyros who was juggling the swords. The Sword of Ten Thousand Grudges would only be used to attack the eyes or other vulnerable parts of the lizard. The Vermillion Earth Sword would suddenly appear when Kyros needed to decapitate an enemy, and the Not a Spare Sword was used to stab or wound.

The execution was smooth as Kyros rotated in throwing the swords, recalling a sword to his empty hand and would do a two-handed slash to wound the enemy.

"Kyros! I open the way! Use that trick to make sure none of those lizards get me!"

Aron was no longer using his Knights Charge but still ran ahead and used his large shield to smash and bash the enemy. Aron had witnessed Kyros's amazing juggling ability and believed that it would be possible to break through the lizards surrounding them. Knowing his uncle's plans, Kyros began to hurl his swords or the torch to the lizards that attempted to attack Aron from the side.

With this, the pair managed to leave and escape the last line of Lizards.

"Run!" Aron shouted and drew the knights that were still fighting some of the last lizards.

Kyros was hurling the swords and placing them back to his inventory quickly to draw the aggression of these beasts and allowed the knights to safely flee.

Kyros tried to stay behind as long as he could to distract the enemy and finally began to flee as he saw another dark bolt crash down near him.

"Is that the Lizard Captain? No... It's still too small... What is that, and why does it have dark energy?" Kyros complained as he fled.

That dark lizard was nearly the cause of Kyros's death.

"I can't be careless! Fate is really sending me to hell!"
