Hyde's tricks were utterly useless before a Second Grade knight.
Without even using his knight battle techniques, Meusel shattered the spinning blades with simple slashes before slashing horizontally at the awl flying towards his chest.
Oddly enough, the sharp awl shattered on contact. It instantly split into several dozen tiny spikes, shooting towards every part of Meusel's body.
If it had been any other day, such a simple attack would not have even grazed Meusel.
Today was not Meusel's day.
Meusel roared and charged through the barrage with his sword before him. He rushed at Hyde and slashed at his energy shield.
With just a single heavy slash, the energy shield shattered and blasted Hyde into the woods behind him.
