THE HONORABLE DARK KNIGHT

CHAPTER 17 - THE END OF LIFE?

Arthur and Siegfried constantly attack and fend off each other

*dap... *

*Ting ting ting*

*Traang...... *

When Arthur intends to fend off Siegfried immediately change his movements, his sword becomes straight to the chest like it would stab Arthur.

Arthur was quickly able to avoid Siegfried's sword moves.

Suddenly all the students and teachers in the Academy came and watched the fight between Arthur and Siegfried. But the two of them did not care about anything else around them and continued their first fight.

In that Academy entrance examination test, not only would the prospective students come but the families of the prospective students also come to watch his son graduate and become a student of the prestigious Academy.

When Arthur launched his attack on Siegfried, his brother suddenly said, "brother fight, brother will surely win ".

Arthur who heard this suddenly stopped his attack and paused for a moment, "Why are they here", then his eyes went around, "Why is my whole family here?, good father, good father, my brothers, and my sisters, why are they all here, I don't think it's important to watch the entrance exam test I'm doing. Arthur's Mumbling.

Everyone who saw it was astonished why Arthur suddenly shut up and pulled his attack.

Not long after that, a woman entered the training ground and said, "Father, you rest, let me fight that man ". She was none other than Siegfried's biological daughter from the Louise family.

" Alright I'm also curious about your development, Anastasia ". Siegfried.

" Thank you Dad, I'll beat him for your sake ". Anastasia answered.

The people who were there were surprised because the one who replaced her was the daughter of the strongest person in the Kingdom Siegfried's daughter, Louise Anastasia Lawrence. A woman who is famous for her strength and beauty.

They wonder what way Anastasia will take to defeat Arthur.

Then Anastasia said to Arthur, "Okay Azazel Arthur Astheric, no need for pleasantries let's continue this fight ". Not long after, Anastasia charged towards Arthur at incredible speed even as they clashed with Arthur's sword, struggling to resist Anastasia's sword, that was because Anastasia was crashing at Arthur at high speed which made her attack more weighty.

* Tring ting ting ting*

They instantly clashed with swords at an incredible speed so that everyone watching their fight could barely see the direction and attacks that both sides were waging.

Anastasia launched a rapid attack on Arthur's head, which made Arthur immediately take a movement to protect his head, but unfortunately Anastasia did not intend to attack Arthur's head but wanted to immediately finish the fight.

When Anastasia's attack almost touched Arthur's head, Anastasia pushed her sword back and directly hit Arthur's body with the handle of her sword, and with her attack sent Arthur slamming away.

The people who were there thought that this was a landslide victory from Anastasia.

But when Arthur's body almost touched the floor of the arena, the, Arthur turned his body to its original position and resisted the impulse from Anastasia's attack by sticking his sword into the arena floor which made the impact of Anastasia's attack thrust slow down until it completely stopped.

The people who saw him were surprised that Arthur was able to withstand Anastasia's attack.

From here Arthur began to seriously and looked at Anastasia, Anastasia who saw Arthur looking at him with a blank look was shaken, because when Arthur began to look at him the aura of Arthur's strength suddenly surged, soaring, Anastasia who saw it was frightened when she saw Arthur seriously.

But Anastasia did not back down and gave up so easily She immediately reassembled her horses and lunged at Arthur once more at great speed, Anastasia channeled all her strength into her sword and intended to end it now.

But when Anastasia launched her slash attack, Arthur easily resisted Anastasia's attack with one hand, then Arthur encouraged her not to continue holding her sword and Arthur stepped his foot 1 step forward, after stepping forward, Arthur threw Anastasia's sword up and knocked Anastasia down with his leg, after falling Arthur pointed his sword at Anastasia.

And after that the fight was declared with Arthur as the winner by the teachers of the Academy entrance examination.

Arthur threw his sword and grabbed Anastasia's hand to help her stand up.

Then Anastasia and then said, "Thank you, Mr. Astheric ". Anastasia said with a smile.

" It doesn't matter that I should be the one to apologize to you, miss, for being rude to you, and also don't call myself Astheric Lord. Just call me Arthur I don't like being called by that family name. I'd rather be called by my mother's given name ". Arthur said without expression.

" Well Arthur, I also apologize for hitting you with the tip of my sword and slamming away, and also call myself by my name and there is no need to be formal with me. Call me Anastasia. Although it's too late I'd like to meet you, my name is Anastasia, Arthur's greetings are nice to meet you ". Anastasia replied with a sincere smile.

The people who were there did not accept it and then they muttered and were angry themselves because the daughter of the strongest person in this kingdom was defeated by the descendants of the traitor family.

Arthur and Anastasia did not care about them at all.

As Anastasia was walking out of the training ground, suddenly in the entire academy came a large restraint, holding everyone inside to avoid using magic power, then suddenly Anastasia shot a magic like an arrow shot very fast by a stranger whose whereabouts are unknown.The stranger attacked anastasia while hiding their existence and presence.

When he saw Anastasia would be pierced by the magic arrow, time suddenly stopped, Arthur looked around and felt that time was completely stopped, then suddenly Arthur came into his subconscious and someone said to himself without being, "Are you the heir to the power of the new *The King Of Judgment? o descendants of the Astheric family ". Say that someone.

" Yes you are right!, I am the heir to the power of the 31st Astheric family.but I have absolutely no idea about this power, and how can time stop? ". Answer Arthur.

" To understand this power is not to be learned, but you must understand this power by yourself, the way is to multiply experience with this power then you will be able to understand about this power!. Then for the answer to your question how the time around you suddenly stops is because of this power. You stopped the time around you using the power of the Astheric family, because of your desire and desire to save the woman, you were thinking of stopping time and saving her, so it can be said that you created a new magic with the power of *The King Of Judgment*. As the name implies you intend to take revenge if the woman survives or you do not intend to beat your enemy, that is the thing that plays a big role in supporting the creation of new magic with that power ". Said the unknown man.

" Is so... So how do I get out of here?!, after all how do I suddenly get in my subconscious? " Ask Arthur.

" The trick is you have to close your eyes and set your breath, then open your eyes. You could be here is arguably because of our desire or the desire of this power to protect its heir from harm and the reason now that you are brought into your subconscious is because of after-strength it calls you to your subconscious, I intend to pass on the magic I created to you from this power. So that you can become strong and in accordance with the purpose of protecting this power, which is to save your life with me giving a suggestion or a solution. If one day you are called again by this power do not be surprised if you meet someone other than me! do you understand, 31st descendant of the Astheric family? ". Said the unknown man.

" All right I understand, then goodbye or is it more precisely to see you? ". Answer Arthur.

" It's a farewell so goodbye, because the magic that I managed to create with this power is only one and I've bequeathed to you, so I won't see you back, alright goodbye, so I'll never see you again, reach for the dream you want to achieve, then don't be surprised if you can use magic inside the restraint that holds magic, I don't know for sure, I don't know for sure,but this power passed down to our family is more special than all the other powers Kevin has". Said the unknown man.

Arthur closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, then opened his eyes again and returned to his present condition with time still stopped.

After returning from his subconscious, Arthur immediately ran towards Anastasia and pushed her, after pushing Anastasia, back to normal time and the magic arrow pierced through and hollowed out Arthur's stomach.

Anastasia's eyes widened, very surprised by what she saw, and the people there were shocked.

Siegfried and the teachers who were there tried to get into the training arena, but could not because it turned out that outside the arena there was a barrier that prevented others from entering, But enemy attacks can penetrate into the barrier. Siegfried also tried to destroy the barrier but it was free without Siegfried's magic even though he could not destroy the very hard and thick barrier.

Then Arthur did not immediately fall due to the attack, Arthur remained standing while enduring the pain. His eyes went around looking for the direction the attack was coming from, but it was useless because the attack was invisible because it was so fast, when the attacker launched back his attack but was targeted towards Arthur, who was not the target of the attack, with the experience of his training he dodged the attack with his reflexes by tilting his head to the left and managed to avoid it. After that Arthur realized that he had to create his own magic, if creating his own magic as the witch usually does it will take a long time because it must continue to practice his magic, but Arthur tries to create magic with the power of *The King Of Judgment*, Arthur makes the imagination as if he has the power to know the position of the opponent that there is no magic aura and its existence by listening to hidden sounds without listening to the sounds around him.

After Arthur unleashes his mana and imagines using a power that never existed before, He immediately tried to make such a sonar with a wide range with his magic and tried to sense and listen to the voice of someone who had removed the aura of magic and its existence.

Finally Arthur was successful and he heard the sound of someone running around behind him, finally Arthur was able to know his whereabouts and the direction of his attack.

After that Arthur waited for the next attack to confirm the existence of his enemy, when the person will launch his attack, only Arthur can hear his voice say *MATILAH*, Arthur*, when Arthur heard the man speak like that Arthur already knew the exact location of the man, he did not immediately rotate the back of his body directly so as not to be suspected and make the person immediately move.

The man launches his attack, before hitting Arthur's head, Arthur prepares a magic that he made himself during his practice, the chain of restraints. As the attack approached Arthur immediately twisted his body by turning his left leg and immediately launched the chain magic to the person who attacked him.

*Infinite chain link*

*Traaaanggg**Tsinggg*

*Crass*

Arthur also did not expect his magic chain can slide very quickly and can penetrate the barrier just by opening a little power *The King Of Judgment* until it succeeds in stabbing the person. After stabbing the man, Arthur immediately controls his chain by restraining the man until he cannot move at all.

Arthur pulled the chain and strangled the man, finally his form appeared and was seen after being hit by his attack, after capturing the villain the barrier disappeared, but the magic restraint still did not disappear, then the guards came to the criminal and tied him up.

Arthur also thinks that there are still other enemies in this place who hold the control of magic restraint magic.

Everyone there was amazed, how could Arthur use magic in a restraint that held the magic of everyone there.

Before being pulled from the arena, the criminal grinned and said, "It's a pity Azazel Arthur Astheric, you lost ". Say the villain.

Then Arthur, calmed himself down and returned to the peak of his focus and Arthur again used the power He created, and surprisingly suddenly there were still 5 enemies who were preparing a consecutive attack on him, and then he went back to the enemy, arthur's eyes widened and immediately used the teleportation magic he had learned in the Astheric family library. Arthur moves everyone in the arena out of the arena, unfortunately when Arthur wants to teleport himself with Anastasia, He runs out of mana and eventually the enemy launches a series of magic attacks towards Arthur magic that gives a very large wound to Arthur and when the magic attack is completed one of the criminals lunged towards Anastasia, who is not the only one of them, while enduring his pain Arthur runs towards Anastasia and pushes her, as a result after pushing Anastasia, Arthur loses one hand, his ladder is cut down by the criminal, as Siegfried lunges and tries to catch the criminal, the criminals instantly disappeared with teleportation magic.

At the same time, Siegfried approached Arthur, but Siegfried did not have any healing magic, so Siegfried frowned and shouted, "Oii damn don't just look at all of you. Answer if any of you can use healing magic, because right now the teachers who have healing magic are going somewhere else ". Siegfried said angrily.

Slowly Arthur began to lose consciousness from the loss of a lot of blood, "Aah... Is this really the end of my life?, my goodness it is so tragic that my death, do I have to die first before reaching and achieving my dreams?. So here's a yes.... What Christina's aunt, Glenn's uncle, and teacher meant was that this world was a cruel place, I finally understood what I meant by knowing the real face of this world, it turns out that living in this world is unfair, why should I die before reaching my wish?, hahh..... At least let me die after saying goodbye to aunt Christina, uncle Glenn, Ellen, Kirisaki, Claudia, and to the teacher. My vision had faded and my breath was heavy, it was time yes I went ". Arthur said in his heart.
