"This shit must be crazy... you think you can talk like some ancient sage and act all cocky just because I've been going easy on you."
"Oh? Thou have?"
"I haven't even started with you..."
Going easy has definitely not been one of the many things that Raith was doing since this fight started. However, it is true that he had not displayed his true strength and that could be blamed on the overwhelming speed of the knight.
"fifty stat point to speed."
[Your speed has increased by +50 points]
Raith, stood there naked and swirling the black sword. With a sudden burst of speed, Raith darted forward, his sword blurry as he launched a series of rapid strikes at the knight.
The knight parried each blow with ease, his great sword rang as it clashed against Raith's black sword. And Raith could feel the crushing weight in his hands. Even though he was on the offensive end and forcing the knight into the defensive corner, it seemed like he was receiving more damage.
The series of blurry strikes continued for a long time. With accurate and clean movements. Raith's movement speed was incredible and fluid, every strike coordinated with his legs, and all that could be seen flying around was sparks, at some point the blurs of both their swords became too fast to be seen and it was just their bodies, and movement that could be followed.
Raith was amazing, but the knight had no trouble keeping up with that much speed.
A drawn-out battle like that wasn't advantageous to Raith who was feeling the impact of every strike weigh down on his hands. His strikes began to get weaker...
Clang!!
With one last parry, Raith's sword went flying toward the back. The knight stood in front of him and slammed the tip of his sword to the ground, resting both of his hand hands on the hilt.
"Is this the best you can do?" He asked Raith.
Raith's eyes for the first time in a long time were filled with unspeakable horror. His face went pale and his pupils shook while his mouth was slightly opened.
At that speed and precision of continuous attacks, that was the best he had ever done. But this bastard just said.
Is that the best you can do?
Swish!
Raith's head went flying before he got any more moment.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom Raith's body dematerializes and soon nothing was found of him again. Then a smoke emerged before the knight and formed a humanoid figure that Raith walked out of.
"Hi? Miss me?" He waved.
"Damned Abomination"
As the knight moved its foot placing to dash forward...
"Fifty stat points to speed."
[Your speed stat has increased by +50 points]
The Knight lunged forward, with his sword forming a wide descending arc from above.
swoooosh!!
Raith had darted to the side to narrowly avoid the blade as it sliced through the air.
Even he was shocked at himself as much as the Knight was shocked at what just happened. This was working!
He quickly countered with a swift thrust, but the Knight's footwork was too quick, and he evaded the attack effortlessly.
Raith retreated, keeping his distance as he tried to catch his breath. It was just a single move but it was out of pacing. It reminded him of his fight with Mok Jae-Hwa, it was short but he expended a lot of energy than he usually does and drained his stamina stat so fast.
Which is why he had even wise to invest some stat points into stamina, else he would have died over a hundred times already.
'...my fight with Mok Jae-Hwa...' Raith's mind suddenly went down memory lane.
He did lose.
But he gained something.
'Yes! That skill...'
Before Raith could give time to more thought, the Knight charged at him with his great sword raised high above his head. Raith could feel the ground shaking beneath him as the Knight's massive form bore toward him.
WHAM!!
The Knight swung his great sword and unleashed a devastating blow that sent Raith sprawling even though he put up a defense.
Raith quickly scrambled to his feet, his sword at the ready as he prepared to defend himself against the knight's next attack. But the knight was too fast, too powerful.
With a swift motion, he brought his great sword down in a mighty arc, cleaving through Raith's sword and sending it clattering to the ground.
Raith was defenseless but what was more baffling was that a sword of over 10,000 durability was broken.
Raith looked at the knight, his browns drifting upwards with shaking pupils.
As the sword came down on him, his mind was blank. He was void of actions, much information poured into his mind but nothing was he aware of.
His body was numb, it'd be safe to say he couldn't even feel his body at all and just stood there as the Knight's sword came down on his head.
