Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 122 Alley
Robin smiled, a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Do you think you can defeat me with the power of the Soul Devouring Crystal? Your current strength is indeed much stronger, but it has only reached the late stage of the Great Knight."

A ferocious smile appeared on Torres' face, and the dark light in his eyes became stronger and stronger: "Killing you is enough!"

Before he finished speaking, Torres suddenly attacked, and dark energy gushed out from his palm, turning into a black lightning and heading straight for Robin.

The energy carried a corrosive aura, as if even the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Robin dodged quickly, his figure as light as a ghost. His sword blade flashed silver in the air and went straight for Torres' throat.

Before the sword arrived, the sharp sword energy had already forced Torres to take a half step back.

The battle between the two broke out instantly, and the collision of swords and energy made a harsh sound.

Torres's attacks were violent and crazy, and each blow carried the corrosive power of the Soul-Devouring Crystal, trying to erode Robin's defenses.

Robin relied on his superb swordsmanship and calm judgment to resolve Torres's attacks time and time again.

"Robin, you can't beat me!" Torres laughed wildly, the dark light in his eyes becoming stronger and stronger.

He swung his hands suddenly, and several black energy blades attacked Robin from all directions, blocking all his escape routes.

Robin didn't answer, but glanced around quickly. The crowd on the street had already fled, but many innocent civilians were still caught up in the aftermath of the battle.

He was startled and knew that he could not continue fighting here.

"Torres, your strength has indeed improved a lot, but your fighting style is too simple." Robin said coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. "I really don't understand the purpose of those claws on your hands. Are they just to scare people?"

Torres's face instantly turned livid, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out: "Shut up! I'll show you my true power!"

Robin ignored his roar and deliberately revealed a flaw to lure Torres into chasing him.

He quickly retreated towards a narrow alley.

Torres fell into the trap and chased after him without hesitation.

The alley was dark and narrow, the walls on both sides were covered with mottled marks, and the air was filled with a damp and moldy smell.

Robin's figure quickly shuttled through the alley, and Torres followed closely behind. The sound of their footsteps echoed in the narrow space.

"Do you think you can escape me by running to a place like this?" Torres' voice was filled with sarcasm. "Robin, you are too naive!"

Robin didn't answer, but suddenly stopped and turned to face Torres. A cold look flashed in his eyes, and he raised the dagger in his hand slightly, pointing the tip of the blade directly at Torres' chest.

"Escape? No, I just don't want to hurt innocent people." Robin said coldly: "Now, we can settle the score."

The claim of harming innocent people was false; the real reason was that he was afraid of exposing his skills as a legendary knight.

He just wants to hide now. Old Cat said that he will wait until he reaches the legendary level before destroying the stronghold of the Wizarding Council. In Robin's eyes, it is still too dangerous. He plans to break through to the legendary level before taking action.

Torres sneered and swung his hands suddenly, and several black energy blades attacked Robin from all directions.

Robin quickly swung his sword to block, and the blade collided with the energy blade, making a harsh sound of metal friction.

"Your attacks are still so monotonous," Robin said calmly, a hint of disdain in his tone. "Is this the only way you can use the power of the Soul Devouring Crystal?"

A flash of anger flashed in Torres' eyes, and he suddenly clasped his hands together, and a huge black energy ball condensed in his palms.

The energy ball was filled with a corrosive aura, as if even the space was distorted.

"Go to hell!" Torres roared, shoving the energy ball towards Robin. Robin's eyes fixed, and he quickly circulated the life force in his body.

A faint silver light appeared on his sword blade, and then he suddenly slashed out, and a sharp sword energy went straight to the energy ball.

"boom!"

The sword energy collided with the energy ball, making a deafening sound.

The energy ball was split in half by the sword energy, and then exploded in the air. Black energy splashed everywhere, corroding deep pits in the surrounding walls.

Torres's expression changed slightly, obviously he didn't expect Robin's sword energy to be so powerful.

A hint of fear flashed across his eyes, but was quickly replaced by madness.

"Robin, do you think you can defeat me like this?" Torres' voice was filled with hysteria. "The power of the Soul Devouring Crystal is far more than this!"

He plunged his hands into the ground, and black energy surged from his palms into the ground.

Then, the ground began to shake violently, and several black energy pillars erupted from the ground, heading straight for Robin.

Robin quickly jumped up and flipped in the air to avoid the attack of the energy column.

His sword drew an arc in the air and then suddenly slashed towards Torres' head.

Torres quickly raised his hands, and black energy condensed into a shield in his palms, blocking Robin's blade.

The sword and shield collided with each other, making a dull sound.

"Your attack is nothing more than this!" Torres sneered, with a hint of pride in his tone.

Robin didn't answer, but quickly took a few steps back, putting some distance between him and Torres. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. Even with his peak Grand Knight strength, he still couldn't do anything to Torres.

It seems that this soul-devouring crystal is a bit weird.

Although he was wary, Robin still said with a mocking attitude, "Torres, your strength has indeed increased a lot, but your fighting style is too simple. You haven't fully mastered the power of the Soul Devouring Crystal."

Torres's face instantly turned livid, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out: "Shut up! I'll show you my true power!"

Robin wants to determine whether the Soul-Eating Crystal will affect people's personalities.

Robin rushed forward suddenly, and the sword blade drew a silver light in the air and headed straight for Torres' chest.

Torres quickly raised his hands, and black energy condensed into a shield in his palms, trying to block Robin's attack.

The moment Robin's sword was about to touch the shield, it suddenly changed direction.

His figure flashed like a ghost, and he circled to the side of Torres, with the sword blade going straight for his ribs.

Torres' face turned pale in an instant and he quickly stepped back, but it was too late.

Robin's sword cut a deep wound in his ribs, and blood instantly stained his clothes red.

"Ah!" Torres let out a painful roar, and the dark light in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

He swung his hands suddenly, and several black energy blades attacked Robin from all directions.
