CLANG!
Sparks flew!
The broad sword in Carl's hand, newly reforged, collided mid-air with an iron ball the size of a human head, covered in spikes.
Ferocious force erupted from the point of contact. The deafening sound reverberated, scattering a flurry of sparks.
Two figures landed simultaneously.
After landing, Carl still had the strength to swing his broad sword and deflect incoming arrows. In contrast, the Big Man was forced to retreat repeatedly, his face flushing an even deeper red under the strain.
How could this be?
This scene caused the faces of several people present to change dramatically.
The Big Man Lakin's strength was among the best in the Brotherhood. Moreover, he had been the one attacking with full force, while Carl had only mounted an impromptu defense.
Yet now... Lakin was the one at a disadvantage!
Knight?
The archer Mei and his sister showed fear in their eyes, instinctively backing away.
"He's not a Knight," the Rat Woman shrieked.
