King Garrie was caught off guard. The knights and mages behind him were just as shocked. None of them had expected the Void Architect to attack so suddenly.
But they had no time to remain stunned. The enemy was already upon the king.
King Garrie immediately focused all of his attention on the battle.
With one swift motion, he drew his sword. The blade left its scabbard with a sharp metallic ring as strands of golden Magic burst from his body and wrapped around him like flowing ribbons.
The Void Architect's arms became enveloped in ominous dark green Magic.
Only a few seconds after the oath had been completed, he had already reached King Garrie.
He swung his arm in a swift arc.
King Garrie immediately stepped backward while raising his sword.
CLANG!
The blade collided with the Void Architect's forearm. Instead of flesh, it felt as though he had struck an incredibly hard weapon.
The impact sent powerful shockwaves across the ground.
