In the lust ring clashes can be heard and sparks flew off
Max was clashing swords with the knight and they were evenly matched in sword skills after another clash max backed off and send out 3 energy slashes but the knight coverd himself in spiritual energy to run through the incoming energy attacks once again blades clashed and but this max had an idea.
He rocked his head back and cloaked it in his black matter as a makeshift helmet and headbutted the knight making him stagger back max took this chance covered his sword in black arms and enhanced it with spiritual energy aiming at his waist to cut him in two.
*CLANG*
A little shockwave came of the impact but Max's bearly pierced through the armor and just gave it some cracks max is sure that he covered his sword in his black arms so how come the armor is that durable.
The knight recovered from the headbutt and slashed it sword at max who dodged it. The knight saw the dent in his armor max was expecting from him to be mad but instead he looked proud?
Lost knight: sorry to disappoint you exorcist but your weapon won't be able to cut through my armored skin I've trained and ate souls to be at my peak so non your sword is like getting hit by a stick.
Max: so you are the kinds that trains even when are already strong enough to kill a semi skilled exorcist?
Lost knight: damn right but I decided to be the best I must kill the best the stronger the opponent the stronger there souls are and let me tell you exorcists lost soul and pure souls I've killed were definitely worth it for the power it gave me and I'm one step away from becoming an apex spirit and you are gonna join the pile
The people were stunned at the convention that the knight can eat souls and that he called the human an exorcist which didn't make sense to the people an heaven was no better in the confusion but Sera Adam and lute were in shock to know that these knight has the means to kill exorcist and hell were shaken by this fact too
Max analyzed his situation his sword can't pierce this thing's armor and so if piercing or cutting won't work then.
Max rushed at the knight with no warning but he was prepared and sword his sword to beheaded max but he increased his speed by enhancing the muscles in his legs he got behind the knight and charged his sword with spiritual he swung but the knight bashed his arm against the blade breaking it.
Lost knight: didn't you hear me I told my armor is strong enough to make you attacks feel like mosquito bite are brain dead or some-
The knight was cut off when max punched him in the face and the knight sensed a lot of spiritual energy in his arms he figured out that max just played him max tricked him into thinking he was gonna attack blindly but in reality max was compressing spiritual energy in his arm and that mean he is hitting him with a single impact.
When the punch made contact shockwaves broke the windows of the buldings and made a small crater were max and the knight stood the knight was send flying down the streets of the lust ring and rolled on the ground until he stopped he the got on his knees in pain he saw black pieces on the ground he felt something on his face and when he touched it he felt that half of his armored face was broken and his red eye is visible to see.
The knight got up and started laughing.
Lost knight: not gonna lie I'm surprised you deceived me you really are cunning but too bad you broke your sword now you are basically defenseless.
Max: don't underestimate because I don't have a weapon.
max pounded his fist into his palm and cracked his knuckles.
Max: I'm just as dangerous with out one let's throw hands.
Hell and heaven were surprised that this human has the balls to fight this knight bare handed.
[At the hotel]
Alastor: well I got to say this boy has a lot of guts to fight this fellow with no weapon.
Nifty: aw I liked the sword.
Vaggie: forget all that idiot is going to get himself killed.
Charlie: maybe he has a plan?
[Back to the battle field]
Verosika was worried that max is going to actually fight with his bare hands she wasn't a fighter but she lnow that fists and sword don't go well.
Meanwhile the had a thought in his head.
Lost knight: you know what fuck it.
The knight threw away his sword and rolled his arms this also surprised heaven and hell they expected the knight to keep on fighting the human with the sword but instead he threw it away and did the same arm gestures as the human.
Lost knight: back when I was human I was a brawler and i made good money of it but before I made it to the big league cancer got to me so this might be somewhat refreshing
Max: so you are throwing away your sword because you feel nostalgia?
Lost knight: something that now enough talk let's throw hands.
Max and the knight rushed at each other and they launched attacks at on another bit both parties dodged one another
Max managed to sew an opening and he used his knee with black arms at the knight's jaw and he channeled his black arms in his arm and grabbed the knight by the face intending to drain him of all his spiritual energy but the knight dodged it and kneed max in the stomach making him crash into a bulding.
Max busted out of pile and he rushed at the knight with his arm surrounded by dark matter and he turned them into claws the knight blocked all the attack and countered with grabbing max the face pound him into the ground making a crater
The knight keeped on beating tye ground were max was under to make sure he is down and dead.
But max was ready to finish this fight he created black whips and wrapped it around knight he could feel his energy being drained out of him he struggled to get put but max didn't let up he put spiritual energy into his fist and this time he coverd his arm with black arms he ran towards the bound knight and he aimed for the head.
When his fist made contact with his broken face a shockwave came and the head turned in a pile of black blood and the body was let go and fall to the ground headless
Max let go of his tension and he fell to the ground with blood coming out of head verosika and her group rushed to check on him
Verosika: max you okay?
Max: I have some broken ribs and a few injuries but I'll manage but I might have to stay with you for a while.
