Starting With an SSS-Rank Swordsmanship Talent-Chapter 293: Azazel’s Overwhelming Physical Strength

"Huh?" Apoy glanced at the demonkin in surprise. Just as he was about to respond, he saw something shocking.

Azazel applied strength in his arms to break the chains that had restrained him.

Clang.

The broken chains produced clanging sounds as they fell to the ground.

"You!" Apoy subconsciously took a few steps back and pulled Faye with him.

Azazel ignored him and focused his attention on the spear-wielding Transcendent Knight.

"How did you destroy those mithril chains?!" The spear-wielding Transcendent Knight was stunned upon seeing this. Even for himself, he wouldn't be able to break such durable material with just his physical strength!

His face changed and he quickly adjusted his fighting posture while keeping his eyes on Azazel.

"You are a threat to my friends' safety so I have to eliminate you," Azazel spoke in a calm tone, but his words made the Transcendent Knight feel a chill.

In the next moment, the demonkin's figure blurred as he disappeared all of a sudden.

Hm?! Where is he?!

Sweat trickled down the Transcendent Knight's face as he tried to track the demonkin's presence, but he was unable to find him.

Suddenly, he felt an oppressive force behind him. He instinctively raised his shield to protect himself.

Bang!

He found himself flying away after somehow blocking that attack. To stabilize himself in midair, he twisted his body at an unnatural angle.

However, before he could land, he saw the demonkin beneath him preparing another punch.

Shit!

He quickly stabbed out his spear to stop the other party from attacking him in his descent!

Whoosh!

Azazel calmly evaded his spear with a turn of his body. He then used the momentum of his turn to deliver a powerful kick that made the air tremble due to the intense force he had released!

Bang!

The Transcendent Knight wasn't able to defend himself this time and was struck directly in his chest!

He crashed into a nearby giant tree and made it shake from the impact.

Leaves and twigs fell upon the Transcendent Knight who was gasping for breath. The kick was so powerful that it broke his ribs and punctured his lungs!

What insanely strong physical strength! He didn't even use mana in that kick, but it almost got me killed!

He stood up with great difficulty, using his spear as a crutch. Blood leaked out from the corner of his lips.

He raised his head and looked at the demonkin with trepidation.

I'm not his opponent… I must flee!

Thinking about this, his body burst forth with mana as he attempted to escape with a quick dash.

However, Azazel was faster than him. In just a blink of an eye, he managed to outrun the severely injured Transcendent Knight.

"No! Wait!" The man shouted in fear when he saw the demonkin suddenly appearing in front of him like a ghost.

Azazel ignored his pleas and released a punch imbued with mana.

Whoosh!

Crash!

The man's head was smashed like a sledgehammer hitting a watermelon!

Thud!

Under everyone's shocked gazes, the Transcendent Knight lifelessly fell to the ground.

Henry and the others also timely arrived and witnessed this scene.

"How did he break those mithril chains?" Fredrinn frowned, his muscles tightening.

Some of the warriors were prepared to engage when Butch raised his hand to stop them from making a move.

"Sir Butch, that demonkin is dangerous! We can't let him roam freely without restraints!" Fredrinn muttered, his dominant hand still resting on the hilt of his sword.

Butch responded while pointing at the demonkin. "Can't you see it? He saved those people, including our brothers."

Fredrinn furrowed his eyebrows. He wasn't blind, but he had trouble trusting a demonkin.

It wasn't just him, most of the warriors looked tense.

Butch noticed the heavy atmosphere so he immediately gave them an instruction to shift their attention. "Gather the civilians and take them into a safe place!"

After a moment of hesitation, the warriors finally responded. "Yes, sir!"

They rushed to the civilians who were still reeling in shock and inspected their condition.

Meanwhile, Butch approached Azazel who was standing in front of the Transcendent Knight's corpse.

Everyone nervously watched him as he walked closer to the demonkin.

The warriors held their weapons with sharp gazes. If the demonkin did something suspicious, they would immediately attack him!

However, no such thing happened. He just stood still, looking unblinkingly in a certain direction.

Butch stopped at about two meters from him and expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for protecting the civilians and my comrades."

Azazel was silent for a moment before he opened his mouth. "The old man named William is in danger…"

Hearing this, the faces of Butch and the other warriors fell.

"What did you say?!" Exclaimed Jeffrey, the former mercenary captain.

"I can help him." Azazel calmly turned his head to Butch, as if waiting for his answer.

Butch stared deeply at him and cupped his fists. "Please save our commander."

Everyone stared at him in surprise. They didn't expect Butch to place his trust in the demonkin without hesitation.

Azazel nodded his head. "There are more enemies approaching. Please protect those two while I'm gone." He pointed to Faye and Apoy while making this request.

Butch nodded. "You can rest assured. We will protect everyone here since that is our job."

Azazel no longer lingered after hearing his words. He disappeared with a 'whoosh'.

Seeing this, Faye brought her hands together and made another prayer.

On the other hand, Butch told everyone to prepare for battle.

"Enemies are coming to our left! Protect the civilians and don't let those bastards get close!" He shouted.

"Yes, sir!"

Half a minute later, they saw almost a hundred warriors charging towards them while roaring aggressively. Most of them were infantry soldiers, while the rest were cavalrymen.

Seeing them, Butch raised his halberd and bellowed. "Kill them all!"

He led a group of about thirty warriors to engage with the enemies!

Butch squeezed his legs, urging his horse to move ahead of the formation. He then lifted his halberd and swung it with incredible force!
