Rebirth Of A Serial Killer - Chapter 78 Numbered Knights
Several guards surrounded the market. Many of which were surrounding a man that had a small pebble-like stone on him. The stone was giving off a terrifying aura.
Many of the stronger soldiers noticed the man’s power and tried to let the others go forward towards the man. They decided to stay away from the man, staying in the back.
Of the weaker soldiers, they were normal people they just were trained to fight in combat. With the basics, they were able to deal with the citizens of this country.
While the stronger soldiers were mostly experienced fighters that were in many wars with other countries. From the experience they gained from fighting wars, many of the stronger soldiers are cultivators.
A man with green armor appeared behind the men surrounding the man. The man with the green armor had a large sword in his right hand. The sword had strange marks on the blade giving off a small red glow.
When the other soldiers noticed the man, they all made a hole to let the man through. When the man walked forward, each of his steps left a small indent in the ground.
“8th Knight!”
All of the soldiers quickly backed up farther and farther as they figured out who showed up.
The eighth knight, there were ten knights in the kingdom. Each knight was extremely strong, they were created to protect the king. Many of the knights fought in wars.
To become a knight you needed to show your strength in front of the king. Or do something that would bring you fame or glory in the country. That is why most of the knights are famous for their achievements in the many wars that have plagued the country or the years.
The wars that the knights fight in aren’t huge wars, they are small wars with the smaller countries that surround the Red Kingdom.
The man in the shiny green armor walked forward. Looking at Zuhn with a stern expression. Completely still, looking at his opponent trying to figure him out.
Zuhn turned to look at the man. When Zuhn first looked at the man, the man had no aura coming off of him. But, when Zuhn used his golden eyes he saw tons of power coming off the man.
Zuhn clenched his teeth together and released his aura. The man in the green armor responded by releasing his aura. Zuhn smiled when he tricked the man into revealing his cultivation level.
From the power the man released, the man was around the late stages of Silver. Someone that was worthy of being strong in this country. Though, Zuhn was curious if the man knew how much power Zuhn was giving off.
Zuhn was giving off late Gold cultivation waves if the man was able to understand his power, why wasn’t he moving away. The man was still completely still, just sitting still looking at Zuhn.
With his sword in hand, the man pointed it at Zuhn.
“Drop your weapons, and surrender to the Red Kingdom. This is a direct order from the King!”
‘The king? Wasn’t Fu Len supposed to go to the king to report me to them?’
Zuhn nodded at the knight.
“I’m not going to drop my weapons. But, I will come with you to meet the king.”
The knight’s expression didn’t change. He still kept the sword in the air pointing at Zuhn. After a couple of seconds, the man lowered the sword.
Zuhn felt something behind him and rolled to the left. In a mere second, A man with black armor ran at full speed with his sword where Zuhn was just standing.
When the man saw that Zuhn dodged his attack he stopped and looked at Zuhn. Shocked filled the man’s face, no one has ever dodged his charging skill before.
The man with the black armor bowed to Zuhn.
“Hello, I’m the fourth Knight of the Red Kingdom.”
‘Fourth Knight?’
Zuhn was surprised to hear that this kingdom was strong enough to have knights. From the looks of the man in the green armor, he was also a knight.
But after hearing that the man with black armor was the fourth night. Zuhn knew that the man in the green armor was much higher of a knight in number.
The man in the black armor had a way higher cultivation level than the man in the green armor. From the attack just now, the man in the black armor had to be around Gold.
Zuhn wasn’t quite sure what stage of Gold the man was in, but he knew he was quite powerful.
Zuhn brought both his daggers up in front of him and looked at the two knights.
By now, all the soldiers that were once surrounding Zuhn have now left. Leaving only the two knights in front of him. Both of the knights were ready to fight Zuhn.
Zuhn could feel that the man in the green armor was giving off small amounts of killing intent. While the man in the black armor was completely calm. He had no killing intent coming off his body.
“Ah, We are both here under the orders of the king. Officially, we are here to bring you to the king. Unofficially, we are here to see how strong you are.”
Zuhn was slightly glad that the man in the black armor was honest. But he was still slightly worried that they were here to test his strength. Zuhn knew that he was able to kill both of the people in front of him.
Zuhn spoke a couple of spells under his breath. Causing his body to light blue. Small flames appeared on Zuhn’s two daggers, a small grin appeared on Zuhn’s face.
Both of the knights in front of Zuhn noticed what he was doing and quickly got ready to fight.
*Boom!*
The black knight was the first one to move, with insane speed the man rushed forward. Just like before the man quickly made it to where Zuhn was standing.
Luckily, Zuhn already knew what the man did and was easily able to dodge the attack. While dodging the attack, Zuhn slashed both of his daggers at the man as he rushed forward.
The end result caused the man to fall over and tumbled a couple of times in the dirt. The green knight was the next person to move. After seeing the black knight fall, the man in the green around had more killing intent fill his body.
“AHHH!”
The green knight rushed forward, with his sword high in the air. When he got close he slashed a couple of times at Zuhn. The slashes did connect with Zuhn, but they didn’t do much damage.
The magical object that Zuhn had was absorbing the damage that was being done to his body. Zuhn was quite impressed with the magical object that he found.
When the green knight saw that his slashes weren’t doing any damage he looked at Zuhn. Zuhn gave him a devilish smile before slashes his daggers multiple times.
Small blue slashes flew through the air and hit the green knight. Blood exploded from the man as the cuts showed themselves on his armor. By now the black knight got up from Zuhn’s dodge and attack.
“Haha Pretty good.”
The green knight fell back multiple meters to get away from Zuhn. The green knight reached into his armor and took out a small bottle that had red liquid in it.
The knight opened it and drank the whole thing in a couple of seconds. Suddenly, all of the wounds on his body started to heal slowly. Zuhn was shocked to see this but knew what the man took.
‘A healing potion…’
To the left of Zuhn was the green knight, but on the right was the black knight. On Zuhn’s right, the man with the black armor was standing straight up with the sword in his hands.
“With the power of all that is holy, give me the power to slay thy enemies!”
A bright light shot out of the man’s body. The light flew into the sky, whilst the man’s power increased by several times. From a man in the middle stages of Gold to someone that broke through to the Martial Sky Realm.
Zuhn knew that this battle was going to become slightly harder after the man increased his strength so much.
‘I need to deal with the green knight before I fight the black knight.’
Zuhn turned toward the Green Knight and released several spells.
“Fire Storm!”
A bright red cloud appeared around the green knight. Flames started to burn bright all over the green knight. His screams were ear pierced, Zuhn stood still just looking at the green knight slowly burn alive.
“Clark!”
One of the soldiers that were previously surrounding Zuhn yelled. Only the soldier wasn’t a man but a woman, looking over. Zuhn saw a soldier running toward the green knight.
She took off her helmet to reveal her blonde hair and dreamy eyes. Her eyes were bright green, she had pure white skin. Zuhn smiled slightly before sending an invisible slash toward the woman.
Her head was cut clean off her head. Falling to her feet, the green knight who was looking at her while burning fell to his knees.
“Rebecca! AHHH!”
The green knight reached the point of no return and his armor started to melt away. The hot iron stuck to his body, making him feel intense pain.
Only after a minute of burning did the green knight finally die. Along with his mistress, they both made it to the afterlife. Zuhn felt a small feeling of relief from killing the two.
Zuhn felt a little nostalgic from his first killing. The couple he first killed.
The black armored knight power reached a new height after he watched the green knight die. The man reached the middle stages of Martial Sky.
Although the man still wasn’t able to kill Zuhn, the man was still quite powerful. The strongest person Zuhn has faced in this new world. Zuhn turned towards the man and brought his daggers up to his face.
The black armored knight gave off a small grin and charged at Zuhn. Because his power had reached a new height, the strength and speed of the man reached a whole new level compared to his last.
The knight kicked off the ground, leaving a small crater where his feet used to be.
Zuhn held his daggers up to block the attack, while in the air the man switched his attack. Originally, the man was going to slash, but once he saw Zuhn ready to block, he switched to a stab.
The man’s sword went through Zuhn’s dagger and hit Zuhn. The man thought it was over, but to his surprise, his sword bounced off Zuhn’s body.
“What!”
Along with the man’s sword being blocked, the man was sent flying by the impact of his strike. Flying several meters into the air, the man went through two buildings before landing onto the street.
“Dark Night!”
Zuhn shouted at the top of his lungs. A black cloud exploded from his body and filled the air around him. The black cloud kept getting bigger and bigger as it filled more of the space around him.
Soon enough the black cloud reached to where the man in the black armor was. Because it was so dark the man couldn’t see where he was. Zuhn took this opportunity to mess with the knight.
Zuhn ran at full speed hitting the man several times but not doing a lot of damage. Just small attacks that wouldn’t harm the man, but over time Zuhn made his attacks stronger.
Soon, the attacks Zuhn was using left a mark on the knight’s armor. The knight couldn’t defend himself, he just sat still and took the hits from Zuhn.
“Haha”
Zuhn’s laugh could be heard inside of the knight’s head. The knight dropped his weapon and held onto his head.
“Stop!”
“Get out of my head!”
“Haha!”
Zuhn’s attacks increased in speed and strength, small cuts spread all over the knight’s body. Zuhn was getting slightly bored of the knight and was ready to end the fight.
But Zuhn thought of a slightly good idea to leave a message to the king. Zuhn left the black knight for a second and got what was left of the green knight.
Using the green knight’s sword stuck him through the neck and hung him a random wall. Zuhn also grabbed the green knights headless mistress and pierced the green knight’s sword through her as well.
Leaving the two of them handing together on a wall. Their blood flowed off their bodies onto the ground. Zuhn smiled at the sight before leaving to the black armored knight.
With a quick motion, Zuhn grabbed the black armored knight’s weapon. With his own weapon, Zuhn cut off the knight’s arms and legs. Making the knight bleed extremely, but Zuhn used his power to stop the bleed of the limbs.
Leaving the black knight alive, making him still feel the pain of his limbs being cut off. Next Zuhn switched the position of the limbs, making his legs his arms and his legs his arms. Melting the flesh onto the knight’s body.
Once Zuhn was done, the man looked like a completely different person. He was a piece of art in Zuhn’s eyes, but a monster in everyone else’s eyes.
Zuhn wasn’t done yet, he lifted the man up and found a flagpole. He took off the flag and set the knight over the pole. Slowly pushing downward, once to flagpole reached the knight he screamed from the pain.
Slowly, Zuhn kept pushing down, making the flagpole flood into the knight’s body. The knight could feel everything that was happening to him.
Luckily for the knight, the flagpole crushed the knight’s heart killing him. Zuhn pushed the knight’s body through the rest of the flagpole. Ending with the flagpole at the back of his throat. Zuhn opened the knight’s mouth and attached the flag once again.
Zuhn jumped back and looked at the piece of art he created. With a joyful expression, Zuhn disappeared from the town.
When the black cloud disappeared, all of the townspeople screamed and ran away from the sight. Both of the knights were killed and hanging in the town.
When the king heard the news of what happened to his knights, he personally came to see their bodies. When he saw the green knight he nodded but threw up after seeing the black armored knight.
The king looked at the knights that came with him.
“Find Him!”
