78. Battle With The Paladin [1]
Jake stopped near the underground river and called Irene using Magipathy. She had learnt Mana Communication from Lena, so she could reply.
'Master, is it really a paladin?'
'Indeed, he is.'
Jake looked at the man in front of him. Ash was a tall, oblong-faced man in his late twenties. He was equipped with a Rare weapon, and was in full-plate white armor.
Coming inside the dungeon, Ash frowned in discomfort. What was this place? Too foul. It had to be a dungeon. He concluded.
Looking at the demon which was not fleeing, Ash shot forward. He used his strongest attack from the start.
''Sword of Judgment!''
Ash's weapon glowed in a brilliant, golden light as he slashed Jake using all his strength. Against a demon, he was taught to not hesitate. Otherwise, the demon would tempt or trick him.
Jake was not expecting this paladin to go all out. That light coming from Ash's sword made him feel like death was approaching. He tightly gripped his scythe and hit the ground with its handle.
