Night Attack: Am I a Villain now!!!

Zmmmm...

Boom...

As it vibrated, a massive force entered deep beneath the ground, engulfing 50.2 meters. Cracking and vibrating sounds could be heard until a deep quake responded to the force, and as a controlled quake occurred, a massive long pit measuring more than 55.6 meters appeared in Zion's and the knight captain's battlefield.

The deep quake was caused by Zion, as his left foot was planted deep beneath the ground, as expected. Having already grasped the full strength of a mid-tier, third-star level, as well as combining his abilities from the fight as he tested them in fighting the variant orcs on the way from long range to close combat, his strength now soars to the sky with a deep compression and fine control of his own ability.

Even if someone said he was a young cub with limited life experience, He could still be proud and raise his head and say that he could fight someone to the pinnacle of third-star, hell, he even has the confidence to fight an early fourth-star opponent, injure him, and escape with some simple sacrifices on his part.

Wewww... Bang... Stone, dirt, and dust flew everywhere.

"Are you also a mage?" The knight captain's expression darkened as he sensed the power of the explosion.

He was afraid that if he was one step too late, he would be injured by the explosion and not survive.

"Perhaps, maybe not. Do you want a few more guesses, Knight Captain?"

Zion also jumped back when he heard the knight captain's words as he laughed  playfully.

"You!!" The knight captain's rage turned to hatred, and he despises Zion even more. He clenched his sword and waved it around, dispersing the smoke and dust in the area. As a third-star level, he could easily manipulate the energy to match his fighting style and envelop his sword in energy to force the air to do his bidding.

In contrast to a second-star level, who could only improve their weapons, strengthen their bodies, and throw forceful energy at their enemies, a third-star level could synchronize his energy to not only his weapon and body but also to the elements available to them, such as adapting to changes.

For example, the knight captain's wave could sync with and affect the wind element, gently lifting the dust and smoke curtain. He could even incorporate the wind element into his sword and fist to increase range and throw wind punches or blades, as opposed to simply using forceful energy, which is not flexible enough for attack.

As required, the element must be present in your surroundings.

Like, if there is no fire on the battlefield, they cannot force their energy to gather the element unless they bring a torch with them and place it near their weapons to gather and synchronize the flame energy with their own. In general, each rank up has its own set of requirements and benefits for the star level.

Shewew...

"I didn't feel a single fluctuation of energy from your attack, but it doesn't matter because you're still going to die young in my blade, haaah." As the attack landed on Zion, the knight captain created wind blades targeting it.

Boom…

"Old man, your words will be your undoing," Zion says as he wraps himself in a Celtic shield, shielding himself from the incoming attack because they are both of the same rank, and he is confident in confronting the attacks.

'TSK, as I thought something was wrong with this kid, I need to get rid of him before he becomes more powerful and disrupts the plan of the house itself,' the knight captain observed as Zion embraced his attack like nothing was wrong. He had already observed and acknowledged the cub, whom he considered a genius among geniuses due to his skill in close combat and magic, despite the fact that he couldn't see the fluctuation of energy in Zion when executing those unknown energies.

"You two, get the young master out of here,

I'll buy you some time."

"But, Captain, we can't leave you here."

"Yes, Captain, if something happens to you, the Head will be furious."

Both enemy knights became agitated when they heard their knight captain's words, knowing how powerful their captain was, but they were now being ordered to retreat as the captain bought them some time to flee. This was the first time the captain lacked confidence in facing someone, unlike before they saw their comrades' dead bodies.

"Are my words not heavy enough to be followed, you fool?"

"Captain, we are just weak knights; even if we run, Captain  Tark  may already be on his way to the young master and is now eyeing him,

it's better if you leave, and we stay behind to buy some time."

The knight captain's already grim expression became even more ridiculous as he forgot the bastard  Tark  was still alive as he tried to focus on Zion for a moment.

"Not good," he thought as he looked at Zion and considered his men's words. Yes, he was a bad person who liked to wag his tail at the head of the house in the same way that soldiers licked their young master's and other knights' boots. That doesn't mean he didn't care about his men. He trained them himself because he valued their loyalty, and despite being the weakest of the three knight captains due to his weak bloodline ability in the Marquis house of Aliadel, his strength far outweighed that of the other ordinary knights.

"Captain, order us to stay," one of the knights said, his smile so hideous it was sinister to look at.

"You..." after a brief moment of thinking his knights were correct, he was the only one strong enough to kill Captain  Tark  if he was coming to his young master Shane, as he could only give up killing Zion for the time being.

"TSK, take this, put it to use,

I order you two to remain and block the cub," the knight captain said, gritting his teeth as he tossed an unknown pill and gave his orders.

"Knight Captain," both of them answered their captain with a sinister smile on their faces. "Thank you,  Keke."

The knight captain was about to leap back, but Zion unexpectedly appeared beside him as he relaxed his guard for a moment.

"Hey, our fight isn't over yet, and I can't let you go."

Shing…

Sshh…

Zion's dagger cut the knight captain's right arm, causing it to bleed profusely.

"TSK, bastard," the captain sheathed his sword as he took a step back and gripped his hands tightly as he endured the pain; the line where Zion cut his right hand was straight up, revealing deep bones, as he regretted thinking too much and letting his guard down during the fight.

"Captain!" both knights exclaimed as they swallowed the pills given to them. Boom

"TSK... Am I now the villain?

How can the situation be reversed?" Zion was about to finish the  knight captain when the two knights dashed at him, forcing him to stop and take a step back.

"Both of you, I leave this bastard in your hands," the knight captain activated his bloodline, which was an explosive dash that could only be used three times per day and consumed a significant amount of his energy after use.

"You can leave it to us, Knight Captain."
