I was somewhat off guard.

I was now strong enough to comfortably take on 4th-tier knights, and I could never lose to 3rd-tier knights unless I was taken by surprise.

But what about the girl?

A second-tier knight was standing right here in this underground city.

‘You said there were only 10 people on the continent?’

The second-tier knights are so different that they are personally appointed by the emperor.

In fantasy novels, he is a sword master, and in martial arts, he is a master of the highest level.

Why was such a being residing in this underground city?

The strong, who do not need to be tied down to Hadron, are living with the vagabonds in this place where the air is filthy.

No, why?!

“Your skills are very strong.”

“Okay, wait a minute, I don’t want to fight you guys!”

The second-tier knights were still opponents I could not overcome.

Was it Lord Peredil, the commander of the First Knights?

I still remember the blow he showed.

I can still clearly see the mountain crumbling every time I open the window.

I’m not yet a monster enough to deal with such a monstrous person.

“There is no fool here who would believe the words of an intruder.”

“Right?”

The second rank knight drew his sword.

The blade, reminiscent of waves, began to aim for my neck like a snake.

Chae-ae-aeng!

Thanks to the nymph’s grace given by Helen, I managed to stop it with a more alert mind than before, but Robera began to crack.

‘Aura defeated divinity?’

Mana is the constituent material of aura, and mana is the lowest unit of divinity.

Compared to the divine blade I’m wielding now, it would be normal for the knight’s aura to break.

But the article before my eyes actually tarnished the divinity I had been wearing.

‘It was said that from the second rank knights onwards, they would create their own laws for the world with Auror, but it wasn’t an exaggeration.’

With my mind made up, I took out every means at my disposal.

And it seems like it was the same on the other side, as those who looked like they were third tier based on their momentum began to join.

“Sir Andrew, I’ll help you.”

“You protect the city lord.”

“Your name.”

“Hey, hey, if you’re a knight, fight fair and square.”

Andrew, a second-ranking knight, responded confidently to my provocation, tightening his neck.

“My skills are too weak to fight you fairly.”

“Not even a little bit lacking.”

“And we have a homework to do. We will do our best to deal with the rats.”

“Lodging?”

“Judgment on the empire that destroyed the glorious kingdom and the reconstruction of the kingdom.”

“That’s even more bullshit. Are you still bringing up something that happened a thousand years ago?”

I can understand the love for one’s country, but it was crazy to still bring up something that happened a thousand years ago.

“That’s not patriotism, it’s obsession. You fools who can’t admit that you’ve lost. There was a reason why you’re still crawling in the ground.”

“You bastard!”

As if the provocation had worked, a third-rank knight could not contain his anger and rushed at me.

I didn’t want to miss this opportunity and tried to send one first.

visor!

“We are not the ones who will fall for such obvious tricks.”

As an organization that has been rebelling against the empire for a thousand years, they were not easily defeated by shallow tricks.

‘One second-tier and two third-tier.’

It was fortunate that one of the three originally ranked knights disappeared, otherwise I could have been beaten without even being able to breathe.

Well, it’s just barely enough to let me breathe.

“Thank goodness it’s inside and not outside!”

Boom! Kwaaang!

I turned the underground city into a sea of fire with Hestia’s miracle.

“A priest!”

“Stop that guy!”

Of course, the guys stationed here wanted to kill me without warning, but I had no intention of fighting them head-on.

“Cowardly!”

“Of course. I’m a hunter, not a knight!”

The third-tier knights began to panic and were tied down as they tried to protect the city with Auror.

But the second tier calmly raised the aura.

“No more destruction can be tolerated.”

Caused maximum damage with minimum power.

“This hurts.”

“Wow, that’s amazing. I didn’t know this would be blocked.”

Looking at the sword piercing through my arm, 2nd Rank Andrew said calmly.

“I’ll end it like this.”

“That’s what I should say.”

Andrew drew his sword and aimed for my nape this time, and I focused my gaze, unleashing the black divine power.

“Oh my, that was so dangerous.”

“Sir Andrew!”

My liver and gall bladder were cold, but luckily I was the one who was quick.

‘I won’t be able to use time stop for a while with this.’

The black divinity obtained by devouring the legacy of ‘the one who walks the lowest ground’ could stop time for objects seen with the naked eye.

‘I guess I can just shake him off, rescue Camilla, and then run away.’

However, as shown by the Legacy of God, not only was it impossible to stop time for the entire region, but the amount of time it could be stopped was also limited.

Only a maximum of two people could be stopped there, meaning that the time stop could not be used any longer.

“You! What have you done to Sir Andrew!”

“No matter what happens, I’ll kill you here.”

The remaining third-tier knights wouldn’t let me go.

“Whew… Okay, let’s see who dies!”

I swung my Lobera at their necks as they ran straight towards me.

But it wasn’t easy.

Even though they were two third-tier knights who were far inferior to the second-tier knights, their lineup of successful candidates who fought while complementing each other was a headache in another sense.

Starting with the wounds inflicted on Andrew, his physical condition began to deteriorate.

What did that guy do?

“Ugh… ”

Because of their relentless pursuit, we had to fight and hit each other for an entire day.

“Even hounds won’t be as persistent as you.”

Although we won, we were seriously injured, so we quickly tried to rescue Camilla and get out of here.

but.

“Ugh!”

The left eye of the second-tier knight Andrew, which had sealed time, began to bleed black blood along with pain.

“Time out… ”

Andrew, whose mental strength was stronger than I expected, had already escaped from the time stop.

“Lord Lian? Lord Aaron? What is this… ”

Andrew, who quickly grasped the situation, started to track this person.

‘If we fight in this condition, we have no chance of winning.’

There was also a way to stop his time again with Camilla’s right eye that had sealed his time.

‘The same method won’t work.’

After changing my mind, I checked the ceiling of the underground city here and there.

‘This place also has a ventilation system.’

Otherwise, it would become a city where people cannot live.

But on the other hand, if the ventilation system is destroyed, this underground city will become a land where people cannot live.

‘Destroy that place!’

After devising a plan, I immediately created a thunderbolt with my recently acquired divinity and destroyed the ceiling, while at the same time using Hestia’s flames to burn down the underground city once again.

Then, he activated in the air and gathered some air.

As soon as I finished preparing everything, Andrew, with his cool murderous aura, arrived in front of me.

“I will not forgive any more atrocities!”

“That’s what I’m going to say!”

This time, Andrew, who had started to attack with full force, attacked me with the momentum of cutting me down along with the city.

“Colok!”

“This is for Lord Lian and Lord Aaron!”

“I never ordered that.”

Andrew continued to accelerate and attack while I was focused on defense.

“You know that?”

Soot flying around from a fire.

Dust blowing away thanks to Andrew’s rampage.

Even to the sealed underground city with the ceiling destroyed.

All conditions were met.

“Dust explosions often occur in confined spaces.”

I snapped my fingers and shouted at the same time.

“BOOM!”

Kwaaang!

‘Is it a little strong?’

The dust explosion that detonated in front of my nose would have torn my body to pieces long ago if I hadn’t strengthened my body with divinity.

And it was the same for Andrew.

“Colok! I thought you were a priest, but you’re a sorcerer?”

“I told you before. I’m a hunter.”

Andrew, who had been holding on with the self-defense weapon he had made with Aura, swung his sword again, but his body was clearly slower than before.

‘Are you having a hard time because your brain isn’t getting enough oxygen?’

I didn’t think I could win all-out against a second-tier knight.

In the first place, which hunter would fight fair with his prey?

Even if you are a coward, you may get cursed at, but as a hunter, if you win, that’s it.

“You are stronger than me, but as a living being I am superior to you.”

“Stop right there!”

Andrew attacked me with his sword, but I barely managed to avoid it and threw myself into the waterway.

Then, he took out the air he had stored in his and took a quick breath to circulate oxygen inside his body before Andrew could catch up.

Naturally, Andrew, whose brain was deprived of oxygen, passed out due to biological limitations.

By making the most of the terrain like that, I was able to win a cowardly victory against a second-tier knight.

“Haahaha… That was the second hardest battle of my life.”

After arresting the unconscious Andrew, he retrieved his equipment into his .

If I had successfully disarmed him using from the beginning, I wouldn’t have had such a hard time, but as expected, it wasn’t easy for a 3rd tier knight or higher to do that.

Because they are not stupid, and they are not the type of people to just sit back and take it.

“Oh my, you’ll get a big reward for saving Camilla.”

Dragging my body, which felt like it was going to faint, I went to where Camilla was.

There was no more fighting, thanks to fires and explosions and vagrants running in panic from collapsing ceilings.
