## Chapter 843 – Black Knight

“You can’t beat me without a weapon!!!!”

The Death Knight was definitely a stronger opponent than me, but that was only when he had a weapon. No matter how strong you are, your combat power is bound to be halved without a weapon.

Becoming the strongest barehanded? That’s just a fantasy unless you’re Cheonma Kim Kat!

Even Liz noona was the Guild Master of the Fighter Guild, but she ultimately amplified her combat power by equipping a ridiculously strong weapon!

The Death Knight was strong.
But without a weapon, he can’t beat me!!!

“Cursed knight!!! Now, sleep!!!”

ㅡFwoosh!!!

The spirit of despising the weak blazes, and inhuman confidence soars! Victory!!! My senses, which coldly judge the gap between the opponent and me, were certain of victory!!!

This pitiful soul is no match for me now!!

“Guaaaaaaaah!!!”

ㅡTsupapapap!!!

But in that instant, as the Death Knight rushed towards me, dark aura swirled from his grasp, and suddenly a jet-black sword made of pure energy was created.

“Cancel!!!”

Startled, I immediately changed direction and moved away from him!!

“Ah, you fucking cheater!!!!!”
“Gueaaaaaaah!!!”

Ever since earlier, all I’ve been doing is getting angry to the point where my brain is shaking!!! Pretending not to have a sword and then using such sorcery! I can’t accept this!!!

Indeed, that crazy bastard seems to have pawned off his soul and spirit to the necromancer. That’s why he has no hesitation in deceiving people.

ㅡTutatatatat!!

Even as that happened, the Death Knight changed direction and chased after me. One thing for sure was that he was faster than me. If it weren’t for the fact that he had difficulty changing direction like a runaway train, I would have been caught sooner or later.

In the end, I have no choice but to fight.

ㅡFwoosh!!!

But that jet-black sword, maintained purely by the swirling dark aura. It seemed to be a sword created by shaping some kind of magical power.

No lie, I’m seeing such a batshit crazy technique for the first time.

Since I don’t know what that is, I can’t properly judge when and how to fight. However, this Cheonma Kim Kat judges that it must consume a tremendous amount of energy compared to creating a normal sword aura.

Should I bet on that?

ㅡFlash!

The thought wasn’t long.
I’m starting to feel like I’m going to get caught, and I have to fight.

Let’s drag it into a war of attrition for now.
I still have plenty of leeway.

ㅡClang!

I forcefully step on the ground and shoot my body to the left. Let’s use the fact that this bastard has difficulty changing direction to make a preemptive strike.

ㅡWhoosh!!

As my body flies, I slightly turn my head back to check the Death Knight’s movements.

“Gueeeeeeeeeeek!!!!”

As expected, he screamed and tried to move his body greatly to change direction. Now I could tell. Judging from the fact that he has difficulty changing direction, he clearly can’t control his body properly because he’s gone berserk.

If that’s the case, it’s easier than before.
A bastard who has lost his precision is no match for me…!!

ㅡBoom!!

Landing my body, I once again strongly kicked off the ground and flew towards the Death Knight, who was trying to turn his body.

ㅡWhoosh!!

A dash using the superhuman strength bursting out of the mana that had increased by about 40%, and an attack linked to that strength. The Death Knight, who had just turned his body, was about to swing his sword, pulling his arm back greatly, but…

My attack was faster.

ㅡStab!

“You bastard!!”
“…!”

The tip of Bihal’s sword pierced through his neck!! An accurate strike targeting the gap in the neck! As soon as I stabbed it in, I tried to shake the sword left and right to completely cut off his head, but faster than doing that, a jet-black blade of magic flew towards me.

ㅡSwoosh!

I immediately let go of Bihal’s handle and lowered my stance to evade. Too bad. If I had been just a little bit faster, I could have dropped his head. Even though his precision has decreased, his sword-swinging speed is still the same after all.

ㅡWhoosh!

The Death Knight went berserk.

Certainly, the precision of his technique was lower than before. It wasn’t a matter of repeatedly making fatal counterattacks, but simply unleashing overflowing power. Extremely fast and powerful, but meaningless if he can’t hit.

I evade all the attacks made at close range and look for an opening.

“…!”

If I could somehow grab that Bihal still stuck in his neck, I could make another move. I don’t know if he’ll move even if his head falls off, but I have to try.

That’s what I was thinking when…

ㅡWhoooooooooosh!!

The Death Knight, who had withdrawn his energy sword, suddenly reached out his fist towards me as if trying to throw a powerful punch, and instinctively judging that it was an opportunity, I immediately took a step forward and grabbed his wrist and upper arm near the shoulder.

ㅡWhoosh!

I rotated my body as it was, turned backwards, and executed an over-the-shoulder throw.

ㅡBang!!!

“You’re dead, you son of a bitch!!!!”
“…!”

The Death Knight sprawled out from that.

As expected, it wasn’t difficult to use his strength against him.

This was all possible because I had gouged his eyes out and scraped his brain earlier. That significantly reduced his combat power. By going berserk, his strength and speed may have become stronger, but the precision of his technique was extremely reduced.

As expected, you have to clash to know.
In this state, there’s no way I can lose.

ㅡClang!

But due to the impact of the over-the-shoulder throw, Bihal slipped out of his neck and flew to the right. Unfortunately, I can’t go and grab it now.

I’ll finish him off without a sword…!

ㅡWiggle wiggle!!!

At that moment, he was flailing his arms and legs.

“Shit!!!”

Horrified, I immediately let go of his wrist and had no choice but to pull my body away. The kid’s strength is so immense that it’s extremely dangerous to make a mistake. If I hadn’t let go of his wrist, I would have already been flying through the sky. Each blow is so murderous…!

ㅡTsszzzz.

But I can’t let him get up!

ㅡThwack!
ㅡBang!

I continued to kick and punch him, preventing him from getting up and looking for an opportunity. Looking at it, the dark sword had disappeared, and the dark aura that had been enveloping his body was also disappearing.

In the end, it’s all running out.

ㅡGrasp!

While watching the Death Knight flail his arms wildly, I quickly moved my hand and grabbed his wrist.

This is the end.

“Cheonma Gunrimbo.”

With his wrist still grabbed, I slam Cheonma Gunrimbo into his shoulder.

ㅡCrack crack crack crack!!!

Cheonma Gunrimbo, which contains so much destructive power that it shoots my body out like a cannonball. Just stomping my foot once like that ruptures the earth and causes vibrations. A cheerful sound rings out. The Death Knight’s shoulder, which was hit by it, was crushed and all the bones were shattered.

“Gwangya Hyeoryoksu.”

Following that, I tightly grab his wrist with Gwangya Hyeoryoksu and pull it out as if plucking a radish.

ㅡDrip!

His shoulder was already completely crushed by Cheonma Gunrimbo. Pulling it strongly while stepping on it naturally resulted in his arm being pulled out.

The suppression is over.
I won.

“Keureureureuk…!!”

Along with a frantic scream, his flailing also subsides. Now, this Death Knight can never beat me by normal means.

ㅡCrash!!!

At the same time, the black barrier that had been surrounding the area cracked and broke.

ㅡWhoosh.

A cold wind blew.

“I’m back.”

The world was pure white.
I had returned to that snowy field.

Whether his power ran out, or Risha did something.

In any case, I safely returned.
I somehow managed to win.

“There!!”
“Kat!!”
“Father!”

I heard the voices of women from over there.

Looking at them, they were all running towards me, and their faces were full of worry. I tore off the Death Knight’s other arm and said.

“Ah, ah. It’s okay, it’s okay. I won. I finished him off.”

* * *

“The traces were cut off, and I felt a strange magical reaction, so I was worried. It felt like you had suddenly disappeared… To think you were trapped in a barrier.”
“This is our mistake. It’s fortunate that the darkie won, or else…”
“It could have been dangerous!!”

Everyone was seriously worried because it was completely unexpected, but after I explained the situation, they all sighed in relief. Who would have known a barrier would appear? This was purely unexpected.

“It’s okay since I won. Don’t worry too much. Isn’t it because I can do it all that I’m doing it?”
“Still. It would have been dangerous if he was stronger.”
“Kat… I was going crazy with anxiety. Of course, I’m happy you won, but…”

Liz noona and Claudia groped my body as they said that.

“Hehehe, I told you I’m okay.”

Saying that I was okay again, I looked towards the Death Knight.

“Hey, did my husband get hit by any magic attacks? Is your body okay?”
“I’m standing here because I’m okay.”

Karin also had a very worried look on her face. Of course, as soon as she heard my explanation, she had already cut off the Death Knight’s remaining two legs. We had to make sure he was neutralized.

After sorting out the situation, all that remained was us and the corpse of the Death Knight, whose limbs were torn off.

I asked Risha.

“Risha. Do you know anything? Like this guy was controlled by a necromancer… He was probably created. Something like that.”

Risha, with her palm outstretched, deployed some kind of black magic, and after a moment of silence, replied.

“Did you say a necromancer?”
“Yeah, that’s what he said.”
“This is different from this lady’s black magic… I can’t really tell properly.”
“Really? Well, if you don’t know, we can find out from now on. Let’s disarm this bastard first.”

I immediately took off the Death Knight’s helmet.

“Ugh… Such an inhuman face…! As expected, the undead are undead! His face is all smashed!!!”
“I did that.”
“Is that so? As expected, Kat-nim is amazing!!”

As Hilde said, his face was extremely inhuman. First of all, his skin was as white as snow, but his entire face was painted with jet-black blood. More than anything, his face was all messed up because I had beaten him up so much earlier.

It was a frightening appearance.

“Kat. This tattoo?”
“Yeah. It’s certain.”

In addition to his skin being snow-white, there were also some black tattoos engraved on him. He wasn’t covered in them like those cultists, but the style felt similar.

This is certain.
It’s those cultists.

I immediately stripped off his breastplate and lower armor. His arms and legs were all cut off, and he wasn’t moving anymore, so it was very easy.

“Ugh, how gruesome.”

Liz noona said with a serious face.

His upper body, filled with strong muscles, was also snow-white. A long time ago. That is, I had once roasted an evil Evil Giant to death with Elise and Lina in the Isvant slum. It was a body that reminded me of that.

But this bastard’s entire body was densely stitched up like Frankenstein.

This wasn’t some kind of medical surgery, but rather traces of performing evil sorcery.

The appearance of something like a rag was truly a product of inhuman madness. There’s a limit to medical malpractice, why would you make a kid’s body like this?

His heart wasn’t beating.
Is he dead?

No, this guy was already dead.

“I think we need to wake him up for a bit. Can our mages do that?”
“Hmm… How… Should we inject energy?”
“We might have to give him human blood…!”

Winia and Hilde said that, and Risha stepped forward.

“Let’s use shock therapy.”

ㅡZap!

In an instant, Risha stretched out her finger and used some kind of black magic.

ㅡThump!

Then the limbless white torso heaved greatly. Sadly, looking at this scene, I couldn’t help but think of the legendary harem man, Ototake Hirotada.

“Kuwaaaah…!!”

Soon, the Death Knight began to vomit jet-black blood!

As expected of the undead!
The concept of death doesn’t exist for them!

“Hey! Are you awake!”

I immediately retreated my wives and shouted. He was twisting his head wildly, but he seemed to be unable to see because I had gouged out his eyes, and he continued to suffer.

“Kueul…! Kahah…! Here… here is still in darkness…!! I can’t see anything!!! How long will I be in this darkness!!!”

The Death Knight, who had been screaming like that for a long time, suddenly tried to raise his body, and then shouted again in horror.

“Ne, Necromancerrrrrr!!!! Have you now taken even my limbs!!!!!!!!! Uwaaaaaaaaah!!!!!”

No, that was me and Karin.

“Calm down!!! You were used by that evil magician! I saved you!!”
“Wh, what…!”

Anyway, he seemed very confused, so I shouted loudly into his ear. I had to interrogate him as much as possible when he was sane so I could find out something. Like before, I don’t know when he’ll go berserk again.

“Necromancer…! He me…! Meeeeeeee!!!”
“Calm down! He’s already gone!!”
“Gone…!”

He was never there to begin with!!!
