Chapter 331: A (K)night of Slaughter

Gabriel had long realized this rebellion wasn't as natural as it seemed. No matter what, handling so many people, and that too in such an orderly manner, it couldn't be done without someone arranging everything in the back. There was order even within this chaos which was the strange part.

At the moment, Gabriel had a feeling that the Dean of the Knight Academy was the person who was heavily involved in this. He was also capable of arranging all of that.

"Let me see how you cleanse this Empire with my blood!" Holding his sword in one hand, Gabriel stepped toward the battlefield. With each of his steps, the aura of his sword was getting stronger.

If he wanted, he could've appeared in the middle of the battlefield right away. However, he didn't bother using teleportation. That was too eye-catching.

"It's true that the Holy Sword is supposed to be great, but it also depends on the user! I refuse to believe you can even draw a fraction of its power!" The Dean of the Knight Academy frowned. "In the hands of a weak person, even the greatest weapon would be a waste! Let me show you the difference between heaven and hell!"

The Knight Academy Dean rushed toward Gabriel, raising his sharp sword. Strangely enough, his speed was so fast that it even surprised Gabriel for a moment.

"It seems I really underestimated the Knights. Without using magic, they can still move this fast. What a pity that these earrings slow down my movement."

Despite being on a battlefield where he could only use his physical strength, he still wasn't free of the pressure exerted on his body by the earring. It was as if he was under constant pressure, which was even stronger than last time.

Even standing with that much weight being exerted on their bodies would've been hard for an ordinary Knight. However, not only was Gabriel able to stand, but he was also able to walk at his usual pace.

"Then again, for you, this speed is enough," he muttered as he raised his sword.

Within a few seconds, the Dean of Knight Academy appeared before Gabriel, swinging his sword. "You are so slow! Die!"

The powerful treasure Sword of the Knight Academy Dean moved at the speed of lightning. Ordinary people found it even hard to see the blade of the sword due to their speed.

Clank~

A metallic sound resounded on the battlefield. When the Dean's sword finally came into view, it was enough to surprise everyone. The Dean moved so fast that others couldn't even see his sword. However, that sword was still intercepted by Gabriel before it could touch him?!

Unlike the Dean's sword movement that no one could see, everyone could clearly see Gabriel's movement. To the ones watching, it was the most basic movement that was slow, even according to their standards! Despite that, Gabriel was able to block the Knight Academy Dean's sword?!

"With just your ability, I'm afraid I can't die even if I wanted to." Gabriel's face revealed a disappointed expression. "Though I agree about one thing. In the hands of weak people, even a treasure becomes trash."

The old man's face turned red as he glared at Gabriel. However, his anger immediately turned into astonishment and then into fear as he noticed something.

His Treasure sword....it wasn't just blocked! There were also cracks on it now, and they were spreading! He couldn't believe that just one clash with the Holy Sword and his treasure Sword, which was said to be the second best Sword in the history of the Empire, tied with the Saint Knight's Sword, was almost broken that easily!

"H-how could the gap be so big?" he muttered in disbelief. Before he could even come out of his gaze, a shattering sound resounded.

The sword that was cherished by many at the Knight Academy as one of the strongest swords in the Empire shattered like fragile glass. Pieces of the sword flew everywhere right before the old man's eyes as the sword broke.

Before he could even come out of the daze, he saw a bright red light. The next moment, the entire world turned upside down.

"Huh?" He frowned, finding Gabriel to be upside down. Not only that, Gabriel's body appeared to be rising. It took him quite some time to realise that it wasn't Gabriel who was rising but it was his head which was falling!

It was only when his head fell on the ground, rolling around that he understood what happened. He... One of the strongest Knights in the Empire... He was killed just like that, in a single strike!

"H..ow..." His lips bled as his vision turned dark. He finally lost his life.

"This death is too merciful for you!" Gabriel looked down at the head, stomping under his feet before passing over the dead body of the old man toward the battlefield.

This time, Gabriel swung his Sword with each step he took. With each movement of the sword, a blood red arc of destructive energy made an appearance in the world that killed anyone that stood in its path. With each step of Gabriel, hundreds of people died! Blood splattered everywhere.

Even as everyone rushed toward Gabriel, none of them could get closer to him at all!

The battlefield was filled with chaos and cries filled with pain. At the moment, even the Royal Knights couldn't help but close their eyes! They had seen a lot of bloodshed in their lives.

In fact, they also killed people many times in this war alone, but even they found this scene to be too gruesome! This was the strength... The strength to annihilate everyone in the path!

This wasn't the power that a human was supposed to possess according to them. They couldn't believe the strength of Gabriel. Some even wondered if they were imagining things. Even in the records of the Empire, the Sword wasn't said to be this strong after all!

The Royal Knights weren't the only ones who were surprised. Callum was even more stunned. Gabriel was a powerful mage who could kill even Head Priests with spells. But even his physical strength was this strong?

"This can't be explained just by the treasure. Even the Saint King was unable to use this much power according to ancient records. Just how could he...? Could it be something to do with him more than the sword itself?"

Callum had a strange feeling about this. The sword was strong, but he felt as if the sword was only able to show the extent of this power because it was drawing it straight from Gabriel's elements!

'Is he using his magic through the sword to disguise his use of magic?' he wondered. 'A Magic Knight? I wonder if this can be sensed by the ones who are watching this war in secret. They shouldn't be able to know. Even I can't be sure of my guess after all. Maybe it's actually the sword's true strength and I'm overthinking things?'
