Chapter 16 - Devil's Technique

The Heart Kingdom is under attack by Demons. While one battles the Mages, the other seeks to end the king's life. The Demonic Knight know as Knightmare wanders through the castle, cutting down anyone on his path to the king's location.

King Augustus Brave has gathered the last of his guards, to take on the threat of the Knightmare. The guards beg the king to retreat, ready to lay their lives for him. But the king isn't named Brave for nothing, he commands his guards to stand firm, If they died here, it would be as warriors.

The Princess had already been moved to a safer location, which puts the king at ease to know that his daughter is safe. Suddenly the doors of the throne room are ripped off and the Knightmare enters.

The king and his guards attack together, trying to use their superior numbers to their advantage. But the Knightmare is a skilled swordsman, and he easily cuts down the King's guards one by one.

Knightmare then attacks the king, but due to an intervention from a guard, king Augustus narrowly escapes being cut in half, but the guard is not as lucky, and pays for his bravery with his life.

King Augustus is now alone and enraged. He attacks the Knightmare with his sword. Even though he knows he stands no chance of winning, he will not die a coward.

The Knightmare raises his arm to summon Dark Blades which point at the king's direction. But even still he runs forward.

Knightmare: Face Death, as a warrior. (Knightmare bellowed as his blades zoom towards the king, ready to impale him)

But Leon Chronos suddenly appeared out of thin air, and deflects all the blades with a wave of his hand.

Leon Chronos: (Stares at the bodies of the dead) So much death and destruction. Don't worry my king, he shall pay for this with his life. (Leon declares)

Knightmare: Another obstacle. Your death shall be swift. (Knightmare threatens as he prepares to fight Leon)

Leon Chronos: Funny, I was about to say the same. (Leon said with a smile)

In the blink of an eye Leon is before the Knightmare, and grabs him by the head. Slamming it into the concrete, this creates a large crater on the ground, but Knightmare is not finished yet. He tries to grab Leon but he suddenly vanishes, appearing beside knightmare and delivers a decisive kick to his upper body, sending him crashing through several walls before coming to a painful stop.

Knightmare manages to get back up and summons his Dark Blades, which dart toward Leon. But with his hands in his pockets Leon maneuvers around the blades, effortlessly dodging them as they cut through the air, trying to stab Leon.

Leon Chronos: Boring! (Leon yells as he grabs a blade and throws it at Knightmare, it moved so fast that it impales the knigtmare's arm before he could even react to it)

Knightmare: Impossible, you're just a human. How can you be this fast.(knightmare asks falls to knee, bleeding black blood)

Leon Chronos: (Chuckles) That my friend...(Leon instantly closes the distance between them)... Is the least of your problems. (Leon said as he uses his incredible speed, to increase the force of his punch, which lands decimates the Knightmare's body)

The punch sends Knightmare crashing to the ground, destroying anything it his path. But even after that, he gets back up.

Knightmare has been severely injured by Leon Chronos, the No 1 Elite Mage. With no other option, he also uses the Devil's technique... By ripping out his heart and crushing it, The Knightmare transforms into a terrifying monster, his injuries all heal and his strength is amplified. Now he is ready, for a rematch.
