After Taken as a Prisoner of War, the Vampire Queen Turned Me Into a Vampire and Made Me Her Daughter

on.

Ji Bai did not know who his opponent was, why it had been lying in the sarcophagus and how it maintained a high level of consciousness.

Such tedious and complicated matters were not things he should concern himself with.
Right now, there was nothing more euphoric than exchanging blows with a sword master like his opponent.

Even if the price of that exchange was his life.

“Clank!’ Ji Bai had already grown numb to the sound of blades colliding.
However, this time was different.

His fang-shaped longsword crafted from profound metal had finally outlived its usefulness and was reduced to mere scrap in the clash.

The massive sword didn’t stop in the slightest after cutting Ji Bai’s blade into two; It incessantly grew larger in his vision like a fierce and deadly wind.

However, the rapidly descending blade stopped just in the nick of time and suspended itself just in front of Ji Bai.

The black knight had slowly pulled back its massive sword after its actions suddenly came to a halt.
After shooting a glance at the fang-shaped longsword in Ji Bai’s hands which was missing its upper-half body, it stretched its hand and pulled out the other massive broadsword on its back.

“Clank.” The black knight threw the sword at Ji Bai’s feet.
Its intentions behind its action were extremely clear.

To strike a person when they are down is no fair or just victory.

Ji Bai didn’t stand on ceremony either as he picked up the weapon the black knight had thrown at him.

As he took a closer look at the broadsword, its ordinary appearance was revealed.
The less-than-refined engravings on its handguard had been eroded to the point of being blurry and unrecognizable.
It was evidence of the years it had gone through.

The sword was somewhat gray and black, as if it had been exposed to heavy smoke.

Most importantly, its edges were covered with chinks, as scars and cracks littered the body.

‘Whether this sword can cut through butter is already a problem in itself, right?’

Ji Bai knew he had no space or time to be choosy seeing the black knight readying itself for battle once more.

A shower of attacks descended once more, but they failed to deter Ji Bai, who had managed to improve somewhat during the battle earlier.

However, every time he would gain some sort of understanding about his sword arts, the power of the black knight would increase considerably.

Its true ability resembled a bottomless hole, the end of which Ji Bai was unable to see no matter how hard he tried.

However, the black knight finally held none of its power back in the following exchanges, making it seem no different than a ferocious dragon that had escaped its fetters.

Every move and stance carried out by its massive sword contained countless years of training and were at their pinnacle in this moment; They had become something that could be executed at a snap of their finger.

“Clank!” Its asphyxiating sword techniques made Ji Bai feel, for the first time, how shallow and superficial his understanding of the sword really was.

Sparks incessantly landed on the scar-riddled ‘Radiant’ armor, causing the injuries Ji Bai received to become more and more severe.

But he didn’t give up; Rather, the worsening of his injuries made his gaze grow calmer.

“Clank!” The black sword in his hands blocked a heavy slash of the black knight’s.

Sparks spurted outwards once more.

Surprisingly, the ‘dilapidated’ sword could actually withstand the black knight’s fierce all-out attack with apparent ease.
The sensation it gave off in Ji Bai’s hands was extremely comfortable as well.

‘I can sense… that feeling is near.’ 

“Clank!!…” The sound of colliding metal overpowered the applause that was coming in from all directions.

Lin slightly knitted her brows, her eyes completely fixed on the dark-silvery silhouette in the middle of the colosseum.

The speedily recovery of magic in her body meant that her regeneration ability had kicked in once more.

Her impulses compelled her to go forward and lend a hand, but logic constantly told her to not intervene.
To put it more aptly, it was telling her that Ji Bai did not wish for her to do so.

As they clashed and came into a stalemate, she could only silently stare at the incessantly struggling figure.

“Clank!!” At this moment, the tempest of attacks he had been receiving came to an end.

The black knight raised its head slightly, as if somewhat stunned.

Its massive sword had been blocked by the other party’s handguard.

Following which, its opponent shot its sword aside and made use of the moment it was stunned to slash his blade towards its neck.

Surprisingly, the dilapidated black sword had left a crack on the black knight’s indestructible armor…
