Chapter 1370 Cursed Knight

Kar was approaching them with countless blood creatures surrounding them. Oren could use his mana to destroy the creatures, but he could not do the same against Kar with his gauntlet. According to Valeria, the gauntlet could redirect the energy Kar absorbs.

Rain helped Valeria stand in order to dispel the barrier. In the meantime, Oren needed to stop Kar and his minions from killing them.

“Are you sure you can do it?” Rain asked again with concern. “I can’t face Arthur if something happens to you!”

“Nothing is going to happen to me,” Oren said with a grin as he released Lancelot. “I still have one more trump card.”

Rain had to believe in him and carry Valeria toward the barrier. If there was one thing that could save them now, it would be the amplifier inside the barrier. Oren grinned as he clapped his hand and mana flared around him.

“What more tricks do you have, human?” Kar asked with a grin. “I’m curious to see how you would stop me and my army”

“If the Mana Domain cannot work against you, then I have to level-up my game,” Oren said with a grin as mana gathered around his hand. “Please excuse me for inviting a friend of mine.”

Kar frowned as he noticed the strange circle appearing behind Oren. “Is that an astral summoning? You did mention that you were an Astra-ranker. Is that what an astral summoning means for humans?”

“Enough chit-chat, Kar. Let’s end this fight,” Oren said as he released his hand. Mana flared like a flame as it rushed toward the circle. The astral connection was established as Oren became the medium to channel the insane amount of mana. “Come forth, Lancelot!”

Kar was confused as he watched a figure appeared from behind Oren. His silver armor and wings were unmistakable. However, what Kar feared was the black sword that Lancelot wielded.

“Impossible… are you telling me… that you summoned the damned Cursed Knight?!” Kar shouted with fear and confusion as he waved his hand. “I refuse to believe that!”

Oren coughed out as blood leaked from his mouth. The mana was burning through his skin as it supplied the astral being behind him. He glanced at Lancelot and the latter nodded toward him. Then, it waved its giant black sword.

Boom!

A single slash spread in arch that killed every blood creature around them. Kar

retreated backward as he used the gauntlet to diffuse the attack. Nonetheless, a small crack appeared on the gauntlet.

“Damned cursed knight, still meddling even after his banishment,” Kar shouted with rage as he stared at the crack that has appeared in his gauntlet. “How can a human even summon such a creature?”

“Not just a human, but one loved by mana,” Oren answered him with a grin, but he was reaching his limits too. Blood vessels began bursting everywhere in his body as a result of the violent mana. “Let’s end this with a single strike!”

Lancelot raised its black sword, preparing to attack the calamity before him. Kar knew better than to face against the godslayer knight and began retreating. He created a wall of blood between them, reinforced with his own mana.

“I’m Kar, the Sin of Gluttony and Lord of Vampires! I command you to protect me!” shouted the vampire with despair as every droplet of blood he has consumed rushed out to stop the incoming attack.

Lancelot swung his sword at the calamity and a giant black arch tore through the fabric of space. It traveled toward Kar who shouted with rage as he used every ounce of his powers save himself.

The moment Lancelot finished his attack, it began to vanish from their world. Oren fell to the ground covered in his own blood, coughing out the blood pooling in his lungs. Mana scattered from around him as he has overworked himself.

Kar shouted as the arch of destruction traveled toward him. The cursed knight has once killed gods using his infamous great sword. After the fall of Ragnar, his king, the knight fell into the abyss and was sealed there by the gods.

Blood scattered as the calamity’s defenses were torn apart. The arch was growing smaller every time it destroyed the blood, but. Kar summoned more. The entire cave came crashing down in the next instant, blocking their view.

A moment of peace followed, as neither side moved. Giant boulders that formed the ceiling of this cave rested on what used to be the tunnels leading here. Sapphire, Nyx, Spade, and Oren were buried underneath the destruction.

One of the boulders moved as Kar emerged from underneath. This time, he was in a much worse shape than before. He lost most of his body and had an arm and one body left. If he was not a vampire, he would have been dead already.

“Cough…” the calamity chocked on dust and his own blood as he pulled himself out. His body was regenerating at a snail’s pace as he has used most of his powers to block that single attack. “I never thought… a human could damage me… this much…”

The only hand remaining was the gauntlet. Kar used it to block Nyx’s wrath which could have killed him. Then, he used it against Spade and Oren. The gauntlet saved his life countless times so far.

“But this is the end,” Kar said with a grin as he recovered his strength. The rest of his body began recovering as his torso regenerated. Then, his legs and arm began growing as well. “That human collapsed, and Valeria is almost dead. The only one remaining is the fake calamity. Where are they?”

Kar was confused as he looked around. He could see nothing but boulders and a collapsed ceiling. The sky above was dusky as the sun was beginning to set. Rain and Valeria were gone, either buried or having escaped.

“Where is the barrier?” Kar asked in confusion as he looked at the other side. The

barrier that prevented them from obtaining the amplifier was gone. “Those two women must have escaped into the barrier.”
