Chapter 14: Chapter 14 – The White Knight

"Gyaaaaaaaaah!!" Noy instantly jumped to dodge the attack. He landed on his feet and tried to counterattack but the sword effortlessly parried his blow.

There stood a knight covered in white armor all from the head to the toe. It donned a white helmet covering his whole face accompanied by a topping that almost looked like a crown. The greek helmet shape sat atop either shoulder that made up the top of the armor followed by a slim waist filling up the rest. The Two shield-shaped chausses covered it from the waist to the halfway of the legs. Inside was the long beautiful red long cloth that oozed out from it covering up the rest of the part. Still, this was not the most bewitching part of that knight, it was the alluring white wings that emerged from its back which almost resembled the holy knight in the mythology book that was commanded by the gods.

However, there was no time to admire the mesmerizing appearance of the knight before him. It was trying to kill him and he had to defend himself.

It instantly leaped forward to the Noy with the giant sword ready to cut him down. But Noy's swordsmanship was not inferior to the giant sword-wielding knight.

They exchanged blows without any signs of backing off. The sparks came out from each sword clash and the whole room was filled with that noise. It seemed like they were both on par with each other in terms of their swordsmanship. This went on for a full minute when it decided to make its move. 

Suddenly the knight changed its attack pattern and Noy was barely managing to block its attack. But it still felt like it was holding back against him. He was getting pushed back.

As they were clashing with the swords, he prepared a fireball and shot at the knight which was easily blocked with its sword.

"Ohhh!! You can use both swordsmanship and magic. You are the first human that I have come across who can do so." It spoke for the first time.

"So you can talk. I thought you were just a magical knight who was guarding this tree." Noy replied.

"HAHA!! I am guarding it and you won't pluck a single fruit from..."

Without letting it talk anymore he bombarded it with lightning spells.

The knight easily dodged all his spells and rushed towards Noy and slashed its sword with a huge force. Noy rolled away and evaded the next following swing.

"Why are you in a hurry? We have all the time in the world." It mocked him. Noy couldn't see its face but he could feel it's smug.

He was annoyed but also surprised that the knight wasn't using any magic. He figured that it was simply relying on his swordsmanship alone and was toying with him.

It quickly flew towards Noy and again clashed their swords.

"You're quite good for a human. Just that, you're far from being on par with me. Your swordsmanship has a lot of room for improvement. Let me teach you a lesson." It kicked Noy in the stomach.

"Uuhh..." Noy groaned from the pain.

The man came again and swung his sword. Once more Noy dodged it and tried to counterattack but he couldn't inflict even a single scratch against it.

"You're hurt. So I'll end this quickly." The man walked towards him and swung his huge sword downwards.

"Teleport!!" Noy teleported a short distance backward and stood up with a smile.

"This isn't over yet." He took a deep breath and readied himself. He already knew what to expect, and he was ready for it, "Your underestimation of me will be your downfall."

He shouted, "Mold earth!"

Just then the ground below the knight started to shake and crumble. Surprised, he jumped up to avoid being the collateral.

"Flaming sphere!" The gulf of flame engulfed the knight in flame and chipped away its armor endurance.

"Explosion!" The flaming sphere then exploded with a very loud force that the impact wave could be felt at all the other ends of the room.

After the impact, a moment of silence followed. Nothing could be heard for a while then a voice appeared. "I almost died there." The knight appeared heavily wounded but alive on one knee, "So you are also at the higher level mana core. I should have gauged your mana. But I won't underestimate you now. Prepare yourself."

As the huge circle appeared on the ground around the knight, Noy shouted, "I don't know what you are trying to do, but it's too late now. DIE!!"

He appeared as if he teleported behind the knight and the blood spurted out from its neck. He had used 'umbra' combined with 'wind slash' which helped in penetrating its defense.

The knight was surprised, " H-how do you know this move?"

He faintly saw the familiar aura in Noy. "So that's why..." This was the last word that came to its mouth before he faded away.

Blood poured out from Noy's mouth like the last time he used this move.

"Cough cough... Heal!" He healed himself as he sat down in relief.

He felt very proud of himself because he had just defeated an opponent stronger than him in terms of both swordsmanship and magic. So, he at least deserved to bathe in the glory for a bit. 

Taking advantage of the small window of opportunity is also a skill that you must have to win battles.

After a moment of feeling accomplished, Noy thought back to its final words, "What did it mean by how did I know this move? Isn't it just supposed to be a higher-level sword skill? But the drawback is huge. Even after reaching the master level of swordsmanship, I am still coughing up blood after using this skill, and a huge chunk of my stamina is drained just by activating it. Maybe it's swordmaster-level skill?" 

"There's no point in thinking about it now. I will just ask Akriel when I get back." Noy shook his head, "For now I will eat these fruits as the reward for my hard work." 

Noy walked towards the tree with greedy eyes like a predator eyeing its prey. "All of you are now mine!!"
