Return of The Unrivaled Spear Knight

, but he suddenly came to a halt.
It couldn’t be helped because he could feel a huge mass of sinister, dark energy just up ahead.

‘A hundred? I am not really surprised.
We’re in the heart of Avalon, after all.’

Cain also stopped moving and stood near Joshua.
Upon sensing the latter’s hesitation, Cain opened his mouth and said, “I’m going.”

Joshua shook his head at Cain before asking, “Have you ever fought an assassin?”

“An assassin?” Cain pondered for a moment, and then his face darkened.
“…Never.”

“Fighting an assassin is different from fighting a knight.
Individual strength doesn’t matter as much when fighting assassins.
It’s not as simple as a mere sparring, and a B-Class assassin is better than an A-Class Knight in more ways than one…”

“Does that mean that you’re going to…” Cain seemed like he couldn’t believe it.

He knew just how powerful his master was, so why did Joshua say that he would have to risk his life to fight a mere assassin?

‘Assassins are rampant in the whole continent.
Even since that person disappeared more than 10 years ago, the organization has been dwindling though…’ Cain inwardly grumbled with wrinkled brows.

“I know what you’re thinking,” said Joshua.

“Hmm?”

“You have to know that you must not underestimate those people.
They could even become one of the Stars.”

“…!” Cain’s eyes widened.

“Master!” Cain threw himself forward the moment his instincts cried out to him.

There was something sharp flying through the air.

However, Joshua was already moving even before Cain could open his mouth.

Sparks flew as Joshua brandished his spear and deflected the incoming projectiles.

Arrows were falling from the sky and from all cardinal directions.

Cain furrowed his brows when he realized that the tip of the arrows was green and glossy.
They seemed to have been coated with the most recognizable and deadliest poison out here.

“They must have gone mad for them to attack us,” Cain muttered into the air as he mustered all of his mana.

Suddenly, dozens of black-robed figures emerged from the shadows like smoke.

“What—”

“Don’t come near me!”

Cain brandished his sword warily.
“Master?”

However, Cain’s jaw fell to the floor when he saw that his master was smiling.

“Well-concealed footsteps and breathing, your killing intent is also hidden under the veil of darkness.
I can’t feel a single trace of life or energy…However, the bloodthirst is apparent in every movement.”

“…”

“Every single move is filled with intense killing intent.
I don’t know about others, but for me, that stands out more than anything else.”

Was Joshua making a deduction here? The figures clad in black had no idea, but it seemed that they weren’t interested in Joshua’s words as they retreated back into the darkness to bide their time.

“I’ve traveled the entire continent before, but only one assassin organization left a deep impression on me.”

Joshua thrust his spear into the empty space on his flank, but his spear seemed to have struck something as someone screamed in pain.

“Argh!” a masked figure clad in black coughed up blood.
The figure had been aiming for Joshua’s artery and was about to throw his dagger.

“Even the strongest assassins couldn’t kill me…” said Joshua.

Who was he talking to? He seemed to be talking to no one else in particular as Joshua gracefully danced, avoiding a flurry of daggers.

“Three on the right, one on top, two in the back, and finally…” Joshua’s words were immediately followed by a sharp attack from his spear, exactly where he’d said.
He stepped forward confidently.

“Ah…!”

“Argh…!”

Another masked assailant fell from the shadows while coughing up blood.

“I knew it; it’s you.” Joshua turned around.
His assailants had emerged from the shadows with worried looks, but Joshua didn ’t even spare them a glance.
His eyes were locked on an empty tree five hundred meters away.

Joshua looked like he was meeting an old friend as he said, “I knew you’d be watching.
I mean, you’re Galahad’s lover, after all, Evangeline Crepot.”

The masked assailants stiffened upon hearing that.

“Hey, don’t move.
Just watch.
There’s no way out for you here, and I won’t let you escape, no matter what.” An energy shot out of Joshua’s body.
The energy was as dark as the masked assailants.
Perhaps even darker, like a fragment of the abyss.
The abyss-like energy would surely not grant a peaceful death to those who were unfortunate enough to be struck by it.

However, the dark energy Joshua had mustered was actually too much and too strong for it to only serve one purpose.
The dark energy gathered in one place, and Joshua casually spat a command.

“Stand up.”

The dark energy flashed and spread, and two figures started to form.
