Chapter 44: Chief knight
Everyone stared with widened eyes and jaws as the dark smokelike aura slowly disperse, revealing two figures, one putting on a black T-shirt and pants, while the other putting on a black tight fearsome looking suit, who was armed with two red daggers.
"So, this is [Demonic split body]." Supreme muttered as he observed the clone. "Not bad, you look exactly like me, well... apart from your outfit." He muttered.
"Am I the only one seeing this?" Schoolgirl asked, totally frozen.
"That skill temporally increased his level to 10!" The man exclaimed.
The other players were just too shocked to say anything, they were just staring at Supreme like he was a monster from hell.
"Oh wow, this skill also increases my level, from LV 5 to LV 10. I can do with this." Supreme turned to the knights and a curve appeared on his lip. "Come on, let's show these fools why they should never mess with anyone called Supreme."
The clone didn't say anything, its red eyes blazed and with a BOOM! The clone shot forward, stunning Supreme and the players.
"Whoa! This guy is fast, I won't let you take all the fun!" He shot forward with his sword.
The knights didn't hesitate and lunged towards the two attackers. "Come on!!!" Supreme yelled and slashed down towards a knight statue which was closest to him.
WHOOSH...
BANG!!!!
"...."
Supreme was stunned. 'Did my sword just cut through that knight with one slash?' He stared at the statue, which its lower half slowly fell down. Moment next his body was filled with power.
'It looked like I killed it... Let see what my increased speed can do' He turned to the archers and lunged forward, his eyes widened seeing his speed, this wasn't a cheat or anything, this was his physical speed. '20 points didn't go to waste.'
"Is it only me, or did Supreme's speed just increase greatly?"
"I can see it too"
"How is he doing this?"
Schoolgirl and the blue hair man wasn't focused on Supreme, instead, their eyes were fixed on the clone. "How can a clone move so well?" Schoolgirl asked.
"He is dodging the knights' attacks with such swift motion and also countering with perceive accuracy, he is simply a killing machine."
"You are right, his daggers might not be able to pass through the defense of the knights armor, but he is surely good at distracting them."
The man grinned. "That is the plan, his clone will distract the knights, while he will deal the final blow."
"I think he will win this battle"
Schoolgirl muttered, while the man turned to her, "I thought you want him dead?"
"Not yet" She stated in a calm tone.
Supreme drew out his sword from the helm of the second archer he had taken care of, his clone was busy running around the circle while getting chase by fifteen knights.
'And the system said these fools have 60% of intelligence'
{Not all of them host, that guy there has 60% of intelligence, the others are only 30%.} The system clarified.
'That guy hasn't moved for a while now, if my guess is right, he is the chief knight, the one who corrupted the hearts of the other knights. And... The one who killed that green hair fool.'
The chief knight stood in front of the remaining two archers as they calmly observed Supreme.
"Time to end this, system... how many points I have left?"
{Host have killed five knights, sixty points had be added as host wanted, while forty points are stored.}
"Put ten each in strength, agility, defense and endurance, this guy looked more calculating than the others. So I need to be cautious."
{Successfully added.}
Supreme didn't waste a second and dashed towards the three knights. The two behind the chief, raised their bows and released two metal arrows at him.
WHOOSH...
WHOOSH...
Supreme cut the two arrows into halves as he increased his speed. "Stop this if you can!!!"
He leaped into the air, raised his sword and smashed downward on the head of the knight.
BAM!!!
"....."
His starlight sword which could cut through anything was caught by the chief knight's bare hand, its gauntlet gripping the sword tightly.
*Fool!! You are armed with the legendary starlight sword, the nemesis of all living beings throughout the universe. But you... The wielder, don't even knows half of its powers.*
The knight said, and with a swift kick, it struck Supreme on his chest, throwing him 10 meters back.
BANG!!
He collided on the ground with such force that could break all the bones in a normal human's body.
Coughed!!
Supreme coughed up a mouthful of blood, the taste of blood wasn't so pleasant to him. He stood up and spat out more blood. "You talk, that is surprising."
'If my cheat didn't increase my LV, that kick would have ended me.' Supreme grimaced.
"Did that knight just spoke to supreme?"
"Yes, have you ever heard or seen a monster that can speak human's language?"
"Nope"
"Monsters are mindless creatures, always driven by hunger, they are always out for flesh and blood of their prey. But if a monster evolved to a particular level, their mindset started developing into the state when they could speak and act like humans, this knight facing Supreme, is in a whole freaking level." Schoolgirl revealed to the players.
The players nodded, the next moment, their faces turned paled instantly. Only one thought appeared in their minds.
What will happen if Supreme get killed? Won't they be next? Even If the knights didn't kill them, the game will surely do.
*I am curious*
"Oh, what are you curious about?" Supreme asked, slashing a knight who attacked him into two halves.
The chief knight remained indifferent to Supreme's action, no matter how many of the knights Supreme killed, the chief wasn't worried.
*How Did you gain the starlight sword? And... how did you weak humans always appeared inside the hall of the great fire empire?!*
"Huh? What do you mean? We are in a game, and you are an NPC, which task is to stop us, the players."
*What are you saying weakling?! How dare you call me an NPC!! And we are in no fucking game!!*
'This guy is confusing, wait... I'd heard of this same word, yes! From the Angel who gave me the sword and asked me to kill the calamity. She also said this is not a game.' Supreme observed the knight slowly.
'What if they are right? This might not really be a game, but... if it's not a game then what is it? Something is not right here.' Supreme was getting confused. The next moment a wave of cooling air blew passed him, his eyes then widened in realization.
'Yes, these two are just NPCs, they won't be able to know they are in a game. NPC won't be programmed in that way, yes that is it.' Supreme smiled and nodded.
"Don't think you can confuse me, this sword was given to me by an angel, who was also an NPC, like you. So now, prepare to die."
The knight took a step back, its red eyes widened in horror, just hearing the human said 'Angel'
*It can't be.*
