Chapter 233: Chapter 233: The Forsaken Knight, Overwhelming Enemy

The speed at which the figure moved was far from normal. It attacked immediately.

SLASH!

A massive dark blade swung directly toward Leon’s neck, cutting through the air with enough force to create a sharp, whistling sound, clearly aimed to kill him in a single strike before he even had the chance to react.

To most players, it would have been too fast. But Leon’s eyes remained calm. Focused.

At the very last moment, he shifted his body to the side with precise timing, the blade barely missing him as it passed through the space where his head had been just an instant earlier.

The attack failed. But the force behind it didn’t go unnoticed.

Leon’s feet slid slightly across the ground as he stabilized himself, his body already turning even before the attacker could follow up, his gaze locking onto the source of the strike without delay.

And what he saw made him frown slightly.

“Damn… I shouldn’t have spoke so soon,” Leon muttered under his breath, his tone carrying a hint of annoyance as he fully took in the presence of the creature standing in front of him.

Standing before him was a massive knight, easily around two meters tall, its entire body covered in dark, heavy armor that looked both ancient and durable at the same time, with no visible gaps or weaknesses at first glance.

In its hand, it held a large sword, its blade gleaming faintly despite the dim light around them, as if it carried a power of its own.

And from its body, darkness leaked.

There was a faint, constant flow of dark energy escaping from the armor itself, as if the knight was being powered entirely by it.

The aura it gave off was intense. Far stronger than almost anything Leon encountered in this life.

This wasn’t a normal enemy. This was something on a completely different level.

Still, Leon didn’t step back.

Because no matter how strong the enemy in front of him was, he had no intention of running.

—

[Forsaken Knight]

[Level: 75]

[Talent: Vessel of Darkness (B-Level)]

[Combat Power: 900,000]

[Details: One of the knights of the “Forsaken Legion” that has been annihilated by the gods, he seeks nothing but death.]

—

Leon’s eyes locked onto the panel floating in front of him, his expression tightening slightly as he focused on the details, but more specifically on the number that stood out the most.

’900,000…? What the hell?’

That number echoed in his mind for a brief moment as he processed it carefully, not because it was higher than his own, but because of what it represented.

This was the very first enemy he had encountered in the [Forsaken City], and yet it already possessed a level of strength that could easily overwhelm pretty much anyone who had just entered the [Expert Divine Temple].

Which meant that even the strongest players, stepping foot in this place would be a death sentence the moment they were spotted.

Even so, Leon didn’t hesitate.

Fwoosh!

His body shot forward in an instant, his feet barely touching the ground as he closed the distance between himself and the [Forsaken Knight], his sword already moving as he aimed a clean and decisive strike toward the enemy’s body.

But the knight wasn’t slow, not even remotely.

With a sharp movement, it reacted immediately, its massive sword rising just in time to intercept Leon’s attack, deflecting it with a powerful push that sent sparks flying from the clash.

The force behind that single exchange was enough to show that this wouldn’t be an easy fight.

Still in midair, Leon didn’t waste a single moment as he shifted his stance, his eyes sharpening as he pointed his staff forward, mana gathering rapidly at its tip.

Powerful Fireball! Ice Spikes! Vines of Torment!

One after another, his spells activated without delay, his control over them fluid and precise as he launched them toward the knight in a coordinated assault, aiming to overwhelm it from multiple angles.

The fireball formed first, blazing with intense heat as it shot forward at high speed, but just as it was about to connect—

SLASH!

The knight casually cut it in half, as if it were nothing more than an annoyance.

Leon’s gaze narrowed slightly at that, but he didn’t stop.

The [Ice Spikes] erupted from the ground immediately after, shooting upward in sharp formations designed to pierce through the knight’s body, but instead of dodging or even attempting to block them—

The knight simply walked through them.

The spikes shattered against its armor, leaving nothing but fragments behind as if they had struck an immovable wall, which made it clear that brute force alone wouldn’t be enough to break through its defenses.

But then, the [Vines of Torment] activated.

Unlike the other spells, the vines surged from the ground and wrapped tightly around the knight’s limbs, restraining its movement just enough to interrupt its charge and hold it in place for a brief moment.

And that was all Leon needed.

Fwoosh!

He dashed forward again, his speed increasing as he took advantage of the opening, his sword swinging with precision as he aimed directly for the knight’s shoulder, intending to cut through its body in a single clean motion.

SLASH!

The blade connected. This time, it worked.

The sword pierced through the armor, carving into the knight’s body and leaving a visible wound.

But even then, Leon immediately realized something was off. It wasn’t enough.

The attack had landed, but it hadn’t gone all the way through, which meant the knight’s durability was far beyond what he had initially expected.

And before he could follow up—

FWOOSH!

The knight broke free.

With a sudden burst of power, it tore through the vines restraining it, its movements sharp and controlled as it immediately counterattacked, its fist slamming directly into Leon’s stomach with overwhelming force.

BOOM!

The impact sent Leon flying backward, his body crashing into a nearby building as debris scattered from the collision, dust rising into the air around him.

For a brief moment, everything went still.

Then—

Leon slowly stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his expression darkening slightly as he looked back at the knight.

“…How the hell is this thing so strong?”

It wasn’t just the raw power. That alone would have been manageable.

But this knight… it was different.

It moved with purpose, with awareness, reacting to his attacks instead of blindly charging forward like most monsters, which made it clear that this wasn’t some mindless creature driven by instinct.

It knew what it was doing. It had experience.

And that alone made it far more dangerous than anything he had expected to face this early.

Leon’s grip on his sword tightened slightly as he watched the knight step forward again, its aura growing heavier, more oppressive, as if it was fully intent on killing him without hesitation.

And at that moment, Leon understood something clearly.

This wasn’t going to be like anything he had faced before.

If every enemy in this place was like this, if they all possessed not only strength but also intelligence and combat experience, then this [God-Rank] assessment wasn’t just difficult. It was insane.

Even someone with a million [Combat Power] could easily be caught off guard and killed if they weren’t careful.

Still, Leon didn’t move back.

No matter what stood in front of him, no matter how strong it was, even if it had twice his power, he had no intention of retreating.

The knight dashed forward again. Leon stepped in to meet it.
