Undead Knights (Part 2)

As Azaroth pulled his fist out of the Knight, he was made aware that he had caused quite a disturbance in his room but he could see that he had finished off the soul of the Undead Knight.

No Physical moves would be able to affect the Knights and of course his Monster Slayer would have been a great way to strike but getting kicked in the face by the second Knight was enlightening- their armor was ghostly but heavy as fuck.

Azaroth spared a gaze at the Second Knife, seeing it smash it's head against the ground repeatedly- like it was trying to complain.

"Sadly you aren't Asta, the plot doesn't work in your favor in the dung-"

[Special Skill Triggered: Parade of a Hundred Knights]

Azaroth was sure that he didn't have such a skill, besides the Knight's movements were becoming erratic- each bang against the ground sent a shockwave that rippled across the battlefield, but the bangs didn't stop… no they grew in power each time.

At this point Azaroth was sure that this skill was certainly going to put him in deep shit- from within each crack, he could sense a faint ghostly energy.

'I was only trying to make sure that the second Knight would not fight back,' Azaroth thought, 'After Mahito killed Nobara, Yuji lost his will to fight and I wanted the same thing to happen here,'

The ghostly energy within the ripples grew stronger and Azaroth took a step back, Knights similar to the first set he battled emerged from the ground- their armors clanking in unison as their heads clicked in his direction.

Azaroth gave them a friendly smile as his wings flapped menancingly.

"Yo,"

That seemed to be the trigger, the battle started and the Knights started running to Azaroth but he didn't break a sweat, they weren't under any sort of necromancing or anything, just purely summoning and Azaroth hoped they would help him level up.

He leaped toward the closest Knight and arched his fist, he concentrated on gathering the energy from within and exploding it forward as an attack of brute force. Azaroth's right fist collided with the Knight's stomach area and he hastened his Magical release as the first shockwave spread, golden bursts of lightning shrouded his fist and the body of the knight lit up, Azaroth increased his Magical output and the sparks spread to other Knights nearby as they were instantly pushed through the air as Gold Flash finished.

They smashed into the walls of the Dungeon and Azaroth landed on the ground, gasping a bit. His fist was beyond burned but he was glad at what came next.

[You have leveled up!]

Immediately Azaroth felt a warm energy spreading all over his body and his fist healed up quickly, his Magical reserves returned back to normal but Azaroth didn't have time to get lost in the feeling of leveling up- he dodged to the right and narrowly evaded a vertical slash heading to slice him in half.

Azaroth sighed and spread his Demonic Haki all over the battlefield, a thin barrier wrapped around all of them as his lips contorted to a grin. He could sense every single one of them, he could easily wrap them with Demonic Haki and blow them up but the fun at fighting such a large army- or a parade of knights as it was called would be ruined.

As he thought of what to do to them, The Knight stabbed forward with his oversized sword- aiming to take Azaroth's life with a single stab but the blade never connected- Azaroth never gazed at him.

Right before it could reach Azaroth's body, the blade stopped… it wasn't able to move forward. The Knight took it's blade back and stabbed it forward for the same result to happen-

It was confused, there was no collision between Azaroth and the blade… There was no expected spray of blood… There was nothing, just an eerie quietness as Azaroth snapped out of his thoughts.

"Ohhh, You tried to kill me?" Azaroth asked as he flicked his fingers and the Knight erupted into nothing but purple blood, staining the ground and Azaroth's clothes.

He had long since applied utilizing Demonic Energy to harness the power of Limitless – and he didn't regret the decision.

Azaroth focused on the Knights and subsequently decided he had no more time to waste, he vanished into the air like a blur and pulled out his dagger dancing around the battlefield like a graceful monkey-

But with each Knight that he passed by, their heads were slashed off by Azaroth's blade coated with POD… After he killed the first thirty knights, a notification flashed before his eyes.

[You have leveled up!]

The announcement caught Azaroth off-guard for a moment but he continued plowing through their forces with nimble grace and finally he stood in front of the original Undead Knight, the second one. It's face was painted with purple blood but it's hands gripped it's sword tightly.

Azaroth considered that it was challenging him and he shrugged in approval, it was a good thing to honor a man's last words. The Second Knight moved, closing the distance between them mid-shrug and proceeded to cleanly cut off Azaroth's head only for the blade to make contact with the air… Azaroth was behind it with deft reflexes as he slammed his feet into it's back, sending it propelling through the air.

The Second Knight planted it's feet into the ground and faced Azaroth who was laughing, his wings flapping menacingly and his body crackling in crimson lightning- in a flash, Azaroth was right in front of the Knight with his right fist glowing.

"Sayonara," Azaroth said as he punched the Second Knight squarely on the stomach and utilized maximum Magical energy output, a golden bolt of lightning pushing forward and consuming the Knight within it's raw unadulterated figure.

The only thing left were it's ashes and Azaroth couldn't help but grin brightly as the door to the next room swung open and he began walking toward it, letting off a small hum as he left the area littered with the corpses of Knights toward what lay in the next room.
