Chapter 385: Nexus Scepter [4]

"Umm… I will take it myself!"

I said as I moved forward.

"Guards! Attack him! Don't let him take the Scepter!"

Priestess Helena ordered.

-WHOOSH!

There were 6 Holy Knights with Priestess Helena and they all came to confront me. Though Priestess Helena herself stayed behind near the Nexus Scepter.

The first Holy Knight charged at me with his sword raised high, but I swiftly sidestepped and countered with a powerful punch to the knight's gut. The knight stumbled back, gasping for air.

-GAK!

Despite the two of us being in Rank-A, my speed was higher than his. And his moves were easily predictable which made it easier for me to counterattack.

-CLANK!

The second knight came at me from the side, but I saw him coming and blocked his attack with my sword before delivering a swift kick to the knight's chest, sending him crashing to the ground.
