Life Restart

Chanting a quick physical enhancement spell, I grasp my sword and dash in front of the enemy within a second and swing my blade aiming for his heart.

Reading my moves that seemed so simple in his eyes, the man in robes places one finger on the tip of my blade bringing my swing to a still.

'What! Just how strong is this guy!'

If using my arms aren't enough, then how about the legs

I try to perform a leg sweep to knock the man off his feet, but what I never accounted for was how strong his legs really were.

My legs clashed with the shins of the man, but what I hit didn't feel like a normal humans skin, it felt as sturdy and hard as metal!

I winced from the pains I felt in my leg, and attempt to pull back with my sword, but the man isn't merciful enough to just let that pass is he?

The man grabs a hold of my left arm and pulled me towards him with immense strength.

My face met with his fists as soon as I was close enough.

The first punch to my face left me dizzy but still on my feet, the second one put me on the knees,

the third one left me panting, the fourth one made my body slump.

I tried to pull my arm away with no avail.

I didn't have enough energy to break the iron grip he had on my arm, leaving me vulnerable to the punches that kept coming and coming.

The amount of punches that headed to me were too many to count, I wasn't in the right mind after the 6th hit. By the 7th hit I started spewing out blood. Each hit after that only made my body worse, I don't know how I lasted this long.

My body eventually stopped feeling the pain of the punches entirely, and my mind grew cloudier each second.

'Am I going to die like this??'

'Is this how it feels like to die?'

'Seriously, I didn't expect my death to be at the hands of a nameless person, but this is fine too.

I've always felt that there was no reason for me to live, I have no family, friends, or anything I wished to protect anyway.'

'Now that I think about it, wasn't my life worthless...'

Why did I survive through those years of living on the streets as an orphan?

Why did I join the knighthood and serve our country.

Why did I try to survive in the first place?

Maybe, I am more of an idiot than a genius knight

'If I could live again, it would be nice to have a family...'

As this thought went through Felice's mind, the last semblance of life left her body as her eyelids closed for good

****

Standing in the Korkus forest is a man with jet black hair wearing a dragon imprinted robe.

On the man's hand is the wrist of a battered up, bruised up female knight,

This female knight is none other than Felice Ephitira, drooling blood that seems to never end.

Her face losing all the color, and warmth a live human would have.

If any other knight, saw this scene, they wouldn't be able to believe it at first sight.

A man without any wounds, holding the battle damaged non-breathing body of the 3rd division captain.

"This human managed to survive this long? It would seem the humans have grown a little stronger while I was asleep" A smirk appears on the man that killed the captain

Letting go of the corpse, he scans the area of the battle, and sees one man still head first on the dirt shivering in fear.

Even though the third prince couldn't witness the battle with his eyes. He still heard the punches being given one by one, the blood dripping after each hit, and the noise of one combatant stopping.....

The fear he felt wasn't anything he has felt before, not to his father, or the captain of 3rd division who was lying lifeless steps away.

"I wonder if you would be as powerful as that human?" The man said staring down at the third prince.

The inhumane strength this man possessed wasn't something any human could combat with. A normal person would've died under 3 punches, but the woman he just fought lasted way longer. If just a mere normal knight woman could last this long, then what would be the strength of the strongest humans.

The thought of that lead him to feel ecstatic , but this man would be lead to disappointment by his conjecture in the future.
