Ren's smirk widened as he saw the grand master's sword shatter, and he wasted no time in launching another attack.
He swung his sword, infused with chaotic energy, at Grand Master Albert's neck, hoping to end his life.
"Die, old man!"
Grand Master Albert, despite losing his weapon, showed incredible reflexes. He dodged the deadly strike, barely escaping the blade that aimed for his throat. But Ren was not deterred by his miss.
With a swift and surprising move, Ren's left fist slammed into Grand Master Albert's stomach.
The attack was not only a physical blow, but also mana break, sapping the grand master's mana energy.
The old veteran knight felt a surge of pain in his gut, and a wave of fatigue swept over him.
Albert stumbled backward, temporarily weakened by the loss of his mana. Ren seized the opportunity, pursuing his advantage in the duel.
But Father Matthias' Divine Shackles restrained his movement. The holy priest had cast a powerful spell that bound Ren's limbs with chains of light.
Ren struggled to break free, but the shackles were too strong for his chaotic energy to overcome.
"Tsk." He snarled at the priest, his eyes glowing red with malice. He hated Father Matthias, who had always been a thorn in his side.
"Grand Master Albert, are you okay?" Countess Maresha approached Grand Master Albert
Grand Master Albert nodded weakly, trying to catch his breath. He looked at Ren, who was still trapped by the Divine Shackles, and felt a mix of anger and shame.
Kael and Gareth Appear behind Ren.
"I thought you can do it alone with east, what disappointing." Gareth look at Ren with disappointment look.
"Milord, are you okay?" Kael trying to help Ren from Divine Shackles.
"Where the hell did you two been to." Ren Asking both of them.
"You too fast, just look you troop behind." Gareth said, pointing at the horde of chaotic soldiers that followed them.
"Both of you just go and handle that dog priest and that woman." Ren Order Kael and Gareth to deal with Father Matthias and Countess Maresha.
Kael and Gareth nodded, obeying Ren's order. They charged at Father Matthias and Countess Maresha, who were guarding Grand Master Albert.
Father Matthias raised his staff, ready to cast another spell. He chanted a holy verse, summoning a barrier of light around himself and his allies.
Countess Maresha drew her rapier, a slender and elegant weapon. She was a skilled fencer, and she had a graceful and agile fighting style.
Kael and Gareth faced different opponents, but they had a similar strategy. They used their chaotic energy to enhance their speed and strength, hoping to overwhelm their enemies with brute force.
Kael swung his axe at Countess Maresha, aiming for her head, but she was too agile, quickly dodging his attack and thrusting her rapier at his heart, but his skin was too thick, thanks to Ren HP Regen his wound healed quickly.
Gareth swung his sword at Father Matthias, trying to break his barrier, his attack was effective, his barrier was broken.
Father Matthias was shocked by Gareth's attack, but he did not lose his composure. He quickly recited another verse, unleashing a blast of holy light at Gareth.
Gareth was hit by the light, but he felt that his attack did not hurt him, and he laughed at it. "Heh, is this a joke?"
Countess Maresha yells at Father Matthias, "Father, quickly use Divine Sunburst, they are too strong, we must retreat!"
