Chapter 14: Battle against a true black knight

I decided to fight the black knight for 2 reasons. One is the blue tearstone ring which will massively improve my survivability. And the second one I the black knight weaponry. They are strong enough as they already are and the anti-demon powers they have is just *Cheff's kiss*.

But I wasn't risking all of these souls against the black knight as I knew they wouldn't nearly be as exploitable as in the game. So I warped back to the bonfire and decided to spend most of my souls leveling up.

'Yes.'

The moment I confirmed I felt the power enter my body making me stronger and more dexterous. I got up and did some moves to test my new body and get accustomed to the changes. After a bit of testing, I started moving forward.

I went on my way efficiently slaughtering hollows with my zweihander on the way. I did get tagged a few times due to my carelessness but a swig and a half of my ten charges of estus made those blunders basically irrelevant.

After 10 minutes or so and a dozen hollow corpses, I was back in front of the black knight's staircase. I walked down with my morning star and hollow soldier shield in hand. Making sure to make as little noise as possible as I approached him.

[ You have acquired the skill {Sneak lv.1} !]

Although I had acquired a new skill my attention wasn't on it. No, my attention was on the Imposing 2.5 meter(8ft2 in freedom units) figure clad head to toe in black armor.

Although the Asylum Demon was far scarier. This black knight gave off a different aura. He felt like a domineering wall in front of me. But I naturally did not give that much a shit so I got in position and lobbed a brick at the back of his head with all of my strength.

*Clank*

But all the brick managed to accomplish was to make the knight's head tilt forward. After which he slowly turned around and started making his way over to me with his shield slightly poised in front of him. I also readied my blade and braced my shield in front of me to gauge him.

When he got close enough the black knight raised his sword above his head and delivered a quick horizontal slash. Thankfully I was barely able to respond by raising my shield in his blade's path. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

*Crash!*

Yeah, this is that but the hand is my head and the pencil is replaced by a greatsword that intends to cause severe bodily harm.

I could barely react to his attacks with panic and move my head out of the way to dodge the sword aiming to ruin my handsome mug. In one instance he actually took the exposed half of my ear off.

After dodging stab after stab I decided enough was enough and used all the power in my body to deliver a {Deadman's Blow} kick into his unguarded waist.

{Deadman's Blow!}

[CRITICAL!]

< Your skill { Deadmans Blow lv.1 } has leveled up! >

< { Deadmans Blow lv.1 } -> { Deadmans Blow lv.2 } >

*Slam!* *Crunch*

''Arghhh!''

Although the attack had launched him to the wall opposite of me and dented his armor I was fairly certain that I had broken literally every single centimeter of bone in my leg. Taking advantage of his stunned state I took out an estus and chugged it twice to heal my leg completely.

But even the estus didn't recover my bottomed-out stamina after using the deadman's blow. So to recover my stamina I pulled out my trump card. I first took out the tablecloth from my Inventory toward him. And At the moment he was covered I used my trump card.

I ran.

After removing the tablecloth off himself the black knight confusedly looked around for his opponent before catching sight of our cowardly hero most of the way up the stairs.

The moment the knight noticed me it started sprinting after me up the stairs but before he could take more than a step up I took a barrel full of something out of my inventory and chucked it at him which knocked him back a little. But I didn't stop rolling and throwing barrels and other heavy shit in my inventory down the stairs until the knight had lost balance and stumbled.

This is my chance!

I rushed down the stairs and jumped off one of the tables I threw down. Then I brought out my Demon's great hammer mid-air above my head. And because the knight's view was hindered because of the stuff I threw he could barely react to what I did next.

*SMASH!!!*

The poor man barely had the time to bring his shield out before I slammed down the Hammer of God with all my might. The moment the oversized Demon's great hammer made contact with his shield his arm bent and his knees buckled and the pressure.

I released the hammer and took my stance on the half-broken table in front of the stunned knight and used what little stamina I recovered to bring out my Zweihander and slashed down with both hands toward his sword-wielding arms shoulder.

[CRITICAL!]

< Your skill {Critical lv.5 } has leveled up! >

< {Critical lv.5 } -> {Critical lv.6 } >

*CHOP!*

I had chopped the knight's whole arm off but I still did not finish as I use the momentum of my previous attack to change into a charging stab as I use the rest of my stamina and my whole bodyweight to pierce through the knight's chest.
