Chapter 70: Devastated

As the clash between Synoh and the Death Knight intensified, Synoh initiated his signature move, Shadow Dance. His body flickers in and out of the Death Knight's view, moving with a speed and precision that was both mesmerizing and deadly. The Death Knight, however took the hits head-on , his body taking the impact without flinching. The sound of their weapons colliding echoed across the battlefield, each strikes sending out spark of energy.

For a brief moment, the two seems evenly matched, theirs movement creating a spectacular for all who witnessed it.

Death Knight:(mocking) "That spear- wielding brat — his attack may be fast and deadly, but he doesn't think. He reckless. You, though, you have an elegant in your swordplay and a strategy.... but still — your dark magic disgusts me."

His tone was laced with disdain, as if Synoh's magic was a reminded of something he deeply hated. Synoh,however, remained calm, focused on blocking and dodging of the Death Knight's ferocious attacks. His mind races with strategies, but the Death Knight's strength was immense. Every clash tested Synoh's endurance.

Despite the heavy tensions, the Death Knight laughed— a deep sinister sound that echoed through the battlefield.

Death Knight:(mockingly) "Is this fighting, or are you just running away, coward? It looks to me like you're buying time. "

Suddenly the Death Knight smiles faded, his eyes narrowing in as he noticed something. Yana, with her brute strength, had already defeated henchmem who guarding Mynstar. The realization sent a surge of frustration through Death Knight's body, and his anger flared.

Death Knight: (growling) " You... You tricked me!!"

Furious the Death Knight unleashed his most terrifying power — Death Aura, a dark, suffocating energy that surrounded both Yana and Synoh. The overwhelming presence of death make their bodies feels like they where on the brink of collapse, every breath becoming a struggle as if their life force was being drained . Their movement slowed, their energy fading under

the oppressive force of aura.

Synoh and Yana could feel the weight of impending doom, their sense numbed by the fear and dread that the Death Knight's aura instilled. Yana gritted her teeth, trying to hold her ground, but the Death Aura was too powerful , and even Synoh's agile movement faltered.

In that moments of vulnerability, the Death Knight turned his attention to Yana, his eyes gleaming with malice.

Death Knight:(darkly) " I'll deal with her first."

Raising his sword high, the Death Knight prepare to delivery the fatal blow to Yana, his eyes filled with sadistic glee. But at the last second, Synoh push himself forward, using his last of strength to block the strike. The Death Knight's sword crashed down onto Synoh's blade with immense force, but Synoh held firm— though not without cost.

The Death Knight's sword

Grazed Synoh's eyes, and blood immediately began to stream down his face blurring his vision.

Synoh: (grimacing) " Not... on my watch."

Yana, still effect by the Death Aura, could only watch in shock as Synoh protect her, despite the wounds he now bore. The Death Knight, seeing the blood dripping from Synoh's eyes, let out another laughed, this time it more sinister than before.

Death Knight: (laughing) " Look at you now— wound and bleeding, just like that coward you trying to protect. You cannot stop me."

But despite the pain and the blood Synoh stood tall,his remaining eye filled with a cold and determined fire.

Synoh: (calmly) " I just don't need to stop you... I just need to keep going. "

Though the situation seemed dire, Synoh's resolve unshaken.
