"What the...?" Even Victor, who stayed behind the others, was shocked that the fire was repelled just like that, and then Dexter looked at Collins, who nodded.
Collins moved towards the knight, wielding his sword in his hand, which had its symbols glowing brightly.
He instantly reached in front of the knight in a split second, and the knight used its shield to defend itself, causing a small ripple in the air as they collided.
Collins was shocked as the knight was only pushed back a little.
He frowned as he dodged a sword cut coming for his head and jumped back.
He glanced at the sword in his hand in confusion, as he didn't understand what was happening.
The knight actually withstood his attack head-on, and he wasn't even holding back.
'It took my attack head-on. Does that mean it's a fourth class as well?' Collins thought to himself, and then he ran forward again with the sword in his hand.
The knight also came forward, and the two of them began to fight. The knight was fast, despite holding the shield.
They seemed to be equal in strength, and then Jude appeared behind it, making the ground become slippery.
The knight managed to turn around as Jude stabbed his trident into the ground, and a sword slashed his chest open.
Jude was surprised at what just happened and then looked down at his chest to see blood dripping from it.
The sword didn't look like any normal sword, unlike the ones the shadows used. It was made of a dark silver metal which emitted a dark and shadowy aura.
The knight put the sword in front of itself and stayed in a stance, and then Dexter arrived. The flames covering his body melted the ice beneath his feet, and his spear was ready to cleave off the head of this knight.

Collins' eyes returned to normal, and his aura normalized, along with the pressure in the air dissipating.
Collins finally calmed down, and the others walked forward.
No one had the courage to face the knight as they weren't the strongest out of the bunch. If the shadow knight could take on a vampire knight and deflect an attack from a count...
Dexter's mother ran forward, blurring as she moved through the members and got to Jude, who had already stopped bleeding from the slash he received.
She looked at the wound to see that it was already healing up, and she let out a breath of relief as she saw that the wound was closing up.
"I didn't think it would be different from the rest," Jude said with a sigh. Then he looked at where the knight guarded, to see a wide rose field with a ton of vampires gathering there and a red light beaming from ahead of them.
They all entered the vast garden, and then Dexter looked to the side to see exits of the labyrinths surrounding the entire garden.
There were red roses filling the entire place, and the flower petals on the ground surfaces were red as well.
Dexter looked to the source of the red light that shot into the sky and saw a man who sat on a throne. The man was wearing a black suit with a red tie and a black shirt.
On his head sat a white hat which was a good fit for his shoes. Behind him was a woman dressed in a maid outfit, and there were three other vampires who stood behind the throne.
The light suddenly vanished. That was when Dexter noticed that the counts were coming out of the labyrinths together.
*"Vampire King Lucian Bloodborn... He's just like the final boss. He looks oddly familiar..."* Dexter pondered as he saw the striking white hair and red eyes.
The man had an otherworldly presence, as his skin was white and pale, flawless, and his red eyes were the deepest shade of red Dexter had ever seen before.
'I remember now. I met him on a bridge while going to meet Hannah... The one Henry warned me about. I wonder if he's the one from the visions.'
