Chapter 358: Outstrength

Clank!!

The two met in the middle yet again, but a powerful push from the prince was able to repel Emery's dagger strike. 

It was hard to believe everything unfolding right in front of his eyes. How could anyone on Earth, without the aid of something like the magus academy, possess such strength?

From experience, Emery knew that a normal human being from Earth should only have around 10 battle power, reaching 15 at most. Back when he had 20 battle power, he was able to defeat anyone who dared to stand in his way.

The strongest warriors he ever fought on Earth were Cavvi, the akavi of Forbidden Forest, and Kastan, the former Silver Knight. From what he knew of them, their battle power should not be much higher than 20, and, at his state, he should now be able to defeat the two effortlessly.

[Emery Ambrose]

[Restriction spell has been placed]

[Battle Power : 49 (34)]

[Spirit Force : 193 (118)

The restriction spell not only prevented him from speaking about the Magus Academy, it also took away about 30% of his overall strength. In other cases, 34 points of battle power would still be enough to defeat almost any enemy in this world.

But it appeared this divine buff that the golden knight received from the excalibur sword had something that allowed its users to exceed their limits. Emery assumes with the buff, the golden prince's battle power at the moment is in the mid 30 range.

With such a great increase given by the divine buff, It was no wonder Sir Bagdemagus managed to beat him last time.

Apparently It's not gonna be easy for Emery to outstrength him without using any spell or skill.

There were also two other problems he had to deal with. One was the annoying old magician who could throw around his fire spells at any moment, necessitating him to dodge every so often. Though his spells weren't that strong, it would be harder to fight against the prince if he got wounded.

Two, he was only using a dagger for the moment and he was not as proficient with it as with swords.

Emery realized the golden knight standing in front of him was probably one of the strongest, if not outright the strongest among his peers. He wondered if this opponent could push him to use his battle art or his spells.

Clank!!

Under the influence of his divine blessing, the prince seemed to be ablaze with excitement the longer the fight went on.

"You are very strong indeed, but still not strong enough!"

The prince started swinging his sword even faster than before. When he swung to the left, the blade connected from the right before going up. It looked random, but considering the movements of his arm, Emery could tell that it's some kind of sword skill.

Parrying and dodging the golden knight swordplay really tempted Emery to show off his sword skills as well. Unfortunately, he couldn't do that without revealing his Lanzo identity.

The prince did spin around and almost managed to plunge the blade into his neck, 

Clank!!

Emery's dagger was able to block it at the right second. He then pushed back the prince's once more time

"Amazing!" The prince shouted.

The knights who guard the estate have all started to surround Emery and watch the fight.

Although many, He could tell they were normal knights who had no chance to stand against him.

Interpreting Emery's glance as worry, the prince jumped back before dashing and shouted.

"Don't you worry, they will not bother our fight!" 

The tough act of the prince was amusing for him.

"You really should all attack at the same time! I don't mind, really." Emery taunted.

Watching Emery still acting so confident despite the fact he was cornered merely somehow annoyed the prince. He gritted his teeth, clenched his divine sword and threw a heavy swing once more.

Clankk!!

Again, Emery blocked the strike with his dagger. 

Afterward, Emery started breathing differently, it's a breathing technique in preparation for his battle art. He concentrated, redirecting his spirit force towards opening several of the meridian points and instantly there was an explosion of power.

Baaaamm!!

Like a spilled dam, the wall separating him and his power broke down, letting out a massive explosion of energy 

[Immortal gate technique - stage 3]

[Battle power increased by 8]

[Battle power:  42]

There was really no need for Emery to force himself to stage 4, and now with the newfound power, this time the pitch black dagger was able to easily push the sword back.

"This! How could this be!"

Emery could see the prince's shocked expression which also took away his previous confidence. But he managed to recover and dashed forward to throw another full-power swing towards him.

But this time the clash of the sword and dagger didn't happen, as the dagger suddenly disappear from his sight and the next second pierced his sword arm until he dropped the sword to the ground

[Dagger Battle Art - Hidden Stab]

This is the one dagger battle art skill he learned from the combat institute, it's able to move his dagger swing in a flash for a second.

The prince quickly jumped back a few steps in response with a bleeding hand.

"What the hell was that?!"

Now that the golden prince was disarmed, Emery wished to keep his advantage and finish this fight right away. 

Unfortunately, the old magician wouldn't let him. Multiple roots were formed to block him from charging forward.

Emery could right away use [blink] and finish this fight, But he decided to dash through the roots while cutting it to pieces quickly.

At this moment, knowing they can defeat this stranger in the night, The old man decided to shouted to the guards 

"Protect the prince!!"

The dozen knights around all took out their swords from their scabbards and all attacked Emery at the same time.

"These bunch can't stop me!!" Emery renewed his resolve and kept on charging, determined to catch the prey in front of him.

One by one, the knights attempting to bar his way were knocked down on the ground to the point of unconsciousness. There was not even a drop of blood from them, there was only bruises from Emery's attacks to escape from them. 

Fortunately for them, Emery's plan did not go as far as needing to kill them off.

With the help of his 42-points battle power, an elbow or knee attack was strong enough to make a grown man much weaker than him fall unconscious.

The old magician was already standing next to the wounded prince trying to heal him but Emery's fast disposal of the knight seems to make him panic. He started to chant again. With his palm was set ablaze, this time, the old man cast multiple [fire bolt] spells out of desperation. 

Emery could sense that these spells could hurt him, and with such close range, it wouldn't be easy to dodge it all. He slightly smiled to know he was forced to cast his spell, and he took all the spell with his body.

The fire bombardment sent a cloud of dust and smoke flying all around. Soon after, the cloud dissipated, revealing that both Emery"s arms had turned black and hard, similar to the texture and toughness of granite stone.

[Granite skin]

"A… A Wizard!!" Shouted the old magician.

A terrifying fighter and a wizard, the old magician seems to have finally decided their next move.

"We can't win this one prince, he's too strong! Give up, give him what he wants or run!"

"No! how can we retreat now! let's fight together Gaious!"

The prince stands tall again this time he took a random sword from the ground and uses his other hand ready to give this another round.

Emery can somehow applaud the prince's bravery. But there's no room for hesitation for him. Today he must know Morgana's fate. 

He starts making his approach, but before both of them clash, suddenly Emery feels another spell being cast towards him. But this time it's not from that old man, it's coming from a different side.

Emery saw a cloaked figure cast the spell while rushing towards him

"Another wizard?!" He exclaimed in disbelief, considering how rare a wizard was.

It was another [firebolt] spell which once more blocked with his granite hand.

Another tier 2 fire spell and from the movements of the spirit force within, it was somehow stronger than the spells used by the old man. With the added threat, Emery finally decided not to keep his cards hidden, He decided to use [Blink].

His sudden disappearance brought another shock until he reappeared right behind the cloaked figure and without hesitation, he let his blade touch the figure's neck.

But unexpectedly something made him freeze.

It was the scent of this cloaked figure.

Although hidden behind a black cape, there was no way Emery would mistake the familiar smell and the thumping of his heart. From their bond, Emery could sense who the figure was. 

"Morgana!"
