The Little Calamity

Rayne was surrounded by royal knights, they seemed similar to normal knights but their silver armor had gold decorations on them, their armors were also much stronger and the men in them were much more skilled.

More importantly their numbers were still the same. Rayne failed to interrupt their formation and right now he was caught in the middle of it, no one dared to move while Rayne was catching his breath.

' Should I run? But if I don't kill the king now I will probably have to do it later and I can't heal until I change world.'

He took a single step, triggering all the knights. He caught the wrist of the nearest one and broke it, causing him to drop his axe. Rayne put his leg under it's blade before kicking it, it started spinning at high speed making it curve mid air, taking the lives of the three closest knights.

With the threat gone Rayne used the knight that he was holding like a mace, knocking the surrounding knights away while killing the one that he was holding. His corpse now acted as the perfect shield while Rayne smashed the gate to the throne room.

He was dripping with blood, holding a bloody corpse that seemed about to fall apart. His breath was heavy, making him look like a hungry beast.

The king that was standing proudly in his shining armor trembled slightly at this sight, he felt like a demon came for his head, he wanted to fight directly with it but he ended up being a coward, sending his generals instead.

The ten of them looked completely different, each holding different weapons.

' They are strong, as strong as that mercenary with the gun.'

They weren't at the level of the three elders but the quantity more than filled the gaps. The royal knights were still coming too, pressuring Rayne.

The first one to attack was a woman, she was one of the commander and her weird blade stretched like a snake. Rayne moved to the side only to see the tip change directly, flying straight at him. This was enough for him to understand this weapon, he made a knight trip, catching the tip of the blade in it's armor.

The blade was stuck, causing it's long chain to tense up. For Rayne this was like a bridge bringing him to the girl. Before she could get her sword out Rayne kicked her.

She panicked as she used the hilt of her sword to block Rayne's blow. He was too strong so she could only drop it. Still in the air, Rayne flipped and delivered a powerful guillotine kick that was blocked by a heavy shield.

Although the other general was clothed in the heaviest of armor he was still sent flying along with the woman, he managed to protect her but Rayne was now in the middle of the other generals. It was too late for them.

A great sword came crashing down toward Rayne who caught it with his only hand. He pulled the sword, bringing the man in a striking distance before crushing his throat, a second later his head exploded.

' They predicted that I would behead him like all the others and planed a surprise attack based on this yet they didn't see me fight, how could they know?.'

He predicted it easily but it showed that something was controlling these things. The blood and the brain of the general splashed all over his face but Rayne didn't even blink, he kicked his corpse at the mace wielding woman behind him.

' Good weapon.'

She fell on the ground so Rayne stomped her arm off before doing a flip to evade the three attacks coming from behind him while picking the mace up. The first thing he did with it was smashing the woman's skull.

' it would be hard to deflect attacks with this but range is better for this number of opponent.'

The two that he kicked were still trying to stand up. Rayne threw his mace at the shield man who managed to block it at the cost of his giant shield, Rayne arrived half a second later and crushed his throat before catching the mace to smash the other woman who had no weapon, leaving only six general.

Two had glaive while the other four had swords. The royal knights were able to regroup with them, making the situation more difficult. The old king had his back against a wall as he trembled, he never expected Rayne to be this savage.

" Get him, throw your bodies at him if you have to, don't let him come near me!"

he was yelling at his soldiers, he who was known as a heroic king now looked like he was about to pee in his armor. Rayne dropped to the ground before dashing into the group, his mace was like a meat grinder, the soldiers literally threw their body at him to slow him down yet they were simply sent flying like leaves. He reached the general who started to stab with his glaive, he was so fast that it felt like there was 10 glaive coming towards Rayne at the same time.

' Whether it's 10 or 100 it's useless, if I block one they all go away.'

He threw his mace which collided against the glaive, stopping it completely while Rayne ran past it's attack range. He made sure to catch his mace while he ran past it, using the weapon to deliver a powerful blow that exploded the man's body. The blood worked as a smokescreen, making the general behind an easy prey that died just as quickly as the others.

Although the other four offered a bit more resistance than the royal knights it was useless, in the middle of all the fighting Rayne lost the mace, forcing him to rip apart the head of the last general. He threw it toward the king who started to rub the wall.

" It's useless to run away, it will only isolate you."

He offered a piece of advice to the king, his only chance of survival would be to hide in his endless army. At the same time it would also be faster for Rayne to kill him there which is why he told him yet it only scared the king more.

After a few complicated move the wall opened, letting the old king through before closing again. Rayne shook off the knights around him and arrived to the wall. He already memorized all of the king's movement and simply copied them at a faster rate, opening the wall again.

This was the king's last stand, he lifted his holy sword and tried to attack Rayne. He was definitely strong, maybe even stronger than the elder, but he made the mistake of fighting in a narrow place against someone using their fist.

Rayne didn't even have to calculate where he redirected the blade, it would hit the wall no matter where he sent it. He put his finger on the side of the blade to slightly shift it's trajectory but it didn't work.

' He is stronger than me?'

Although he was scared the king's blade was incredibly steady, still Rayne changed his finger into a punch, knocking the sword away before he was cut. He kicked at the king who managed to react and jump back.

' You gave up the advantage of cornering me.'

He dashed at the king, his sword was accurate, fast and strong yet Rayne simply jumped on the roof before ripping the king's head off.

" I told you to stay with your army."

The king's body fell to the ground, unable to react to Rayne's beast like fighting style.

That's when he felt the same danger as earlier.

' It's that thunder again.'
