54 Magic Trick

"Undead Release"

I released the remaining undead to take the mana within them,

"Take your positions, he is making a move."

From within their eyes, I disappeared, using spatial magic I teleported to the very back, where there were ordinary knights,

"Lost Swordsmanship Second Form: Dance of the blade."

After continuously slicing through the knights, finally, a paladin stopped me with his blade,

The rest surrounded me, 10 of them at once, "Awaken my Holy sword, and perish the foe in front of me."

The ten of them had made a concentrated attack, with me in the center, the attack caused dust to spread everywhere, making it hard to see,

"Did we get him?"

As the dust cleared, they saw him shining in the dark,

"Ahh, so this is the so-called holy magic, said to blind the enemies just upon seeing it, and kill the demons near it with just its shine, but too bad, it seems it has just the opposite effect on me, as I am someone who possesses divine magic, which is a step above the holy magic, I could just absorb it, my mana is now fully restored."

"What it had no effect?"

"Now then, Lost Swordsmanship Fourth Form: Phantom Flash."

"That's one down."

"Stealth"

"What he disappeared"

"Divine flame control: Abjuration of Fire."

"That's 3 down."

"Darkness Magic: Shadow Chains"

The chains created from the shadows of the wall tried to surround them, "Don't let the chains catch you."

"Too, bad you can't escape."

"Someone help, the chains caught my legs", "Wait let me help", "No even I got caught", "No everyone."

"Now that everyone has been immobilized, Lost Swordsmanship Third Form: Hollow Silence."

[You killed a Human]

"Now even the 10 paladins are dead."

"Don't you feel any shame? just standing there while I kill your subordinates, you are really acting, unlike a royal paladin."

"After years of experiencing battles, I know how to judge my opponent's strength and move accordingly, even if I had stepped in early, the result would have still been the same, they would have still died."

Acting based on analysis rather then emotion, impressive, but "If you knew then shouldn't you have tried to run, who knows? Maybe you could have escaped."

"Run? I said stepping in earlier would have been useless, but I know for a fact that the victor of this battle will be me."

"Ho, such confidence."

"Awaken my sword, Spirit Requiem."

The dead bodies around us began to glow, the spirits came out of the dead and headed towards his sword, in the form of aura

"My sword allows me to add the powers of the fallen ones with my own, I carry their strength, sorrow, hate, and their will, I represent the entire army by myself, I can hear their voices telling me to avenge them, even if I fall, they will pick me back again, we together will now kill you."

"Wow, those are some lovely words to justify trapping the spirits of the dead within your sword, and making them a source of your own power just like slaves."

With his sword, he jumped right at me, with his physical power he pushed me back with a continuous clash of the swords

"What's the matter? Can't handle it? In front of our power, you can do nothing but back down."

"tch, Darkness Magic: Shadow Chains."

"Humm, you think these chains would be enough to hold me."

With his sword, he destroyed the chains

"Divine Flame Control: Fireball"

He dodged it,

"You dare use such tricks in a sword fight, you dare call yourself a man, a warrior."

"I call myself smart, Shadow Chains."

"Petty tricks, they are useless."

"Oh, you may destroy 1 chain or even 10 chains, but how about 100 chains, no 1000 chains, shadows never cease to exist."

"You dare underestimate me, you brat."

"Surround my body and provide me with strength, Holy magic: Blessing of fire."

His eyes, even his body began to glow, the extreme light caused the shadows around him to disappear, the temperature around him went to an extreme, the chains would melt before they could reach him

"Now, I shall slay you and avenge others."

He concentrated all of his magic around his sword,

"He is making his final move, such magic concentration would be enough to vaporize me, I need to take his sword away."

"Spatial Magic: Interchange"

"What? It failed, the cross on his collar is interfering with my spatial magic."

"Take this, Blaze of the Spirits"

A sudden explosion occurred, the forest nearby had burned to ashes

"I did it, I avenged my family, I avenged my people, I fulfilled my duty as a knight."

Suddenly the cross on his neck burned into ashes, and he saw a red light in front of him.

"Red Moon", That was close I used red moon at the final moment, but red moon should have transferred all the damage back to the opponent, yet he is still alive, I noticed the cross on his collar was no more, "I see the cross most have saved you."

"What? How are you still alive?"

"You thought you could kill me that easily, how naïve, I was just simply playing around with you till now, but now I am done doing that, time to get serious."

Since the cross was now destroyed, "Now then, old man, would you like a see a magic trick?"

"What?"

"Let me show you a magic trick, look in my hands, I am carrying a small dagger, but now look, it disappeared, I wonder where it went."

He suddenly coughed blood from his mouth,

"Yes, did you find out where it is? Let me tell you it's inside your heart."

"im…p…o..si..bl."

"What I could not hear you? Now, look now I have three daggers, but they disappeared, I wonder where they disappeared to"

Coughing blood he fell down, ��yo..u…bas..t.e..r..d"
