Chapter 435: Kai vs the Silver Knight!
At 18 years old, Kai was a tall young man, with a lean figure and chiseled muscles.
His entire body was covered in scars, some more hideous than others.
Because of the Stormborn bloodline, his white hair grew several times faster than others, even in his original world.
So, he had already learned to deal with them, cutting them short when the circumstances demanded.
Kai's hand flicked, taking out the Tales of Beedle the Bard.
"Cersei," he called, transfiguring the Growth-type Item into a bracelet, "go deal with this… thing."
The world stirred and Cersei walked out, wearing a tight black suit made of shadows from her toes to half her face.
She looked at Kai and put on the bracelet.
The corridors in the ancient ruin weren't large enough for her to spread her bat-like wings. But they weren't needed, either.
Kai had already sensed that the Inferius Knight was as strong as a Low-level 6th-floor Contestant in strength.
It was already shocking given that, as far as Kai knew, this timeline's Overall Grade was the same as his Main Mission, i.e. D+.
It meant, the top existence, especially the main storyline ones like Dumbledore, could only be as powerful as the Top-level 7th-floor Contestant.
For this Inferius to have such strength surprised Kai.
Not to mention, one more thing that made this undead special was that it could use Magic, giving it much more advantage compared to Contestants.
If Darcie could use Magic, then she could make quick work of this Inferius easily, Kai knew.
Even if she couldn't eliminate it, she could have easily escaped.
Yet, where Darcie lacked, Kai didn't.
There was an inherent and disastrous difference between Contestants and storyline wizards and witches of the Harry Potter Random World.
These characters could use the Mana in the world as their personal source anytime.
Sure, using the magic non-stop could tire them, but few situations developed to that stage, to begin with.
Contestants had no such privilege.
They carried their own bucket of Mana everywhere, which refilled itself at a certain rate.
Anywhere else, this was a massive disadvantage when compared to the storyline Characters of the Harry Potter Random World.
Here, though, it was a boon.
A boon, bordering on blasphemy!
Rawrrrr!
The silver-armored knight growled, seeing the incoming black blur.
It hacked again and sent a red bolt of lightning flashing toward Cersei.
Shadow-armored Cersei spun midair, leaped on the wall on her left, and dashed toward the knight like a black cat, her lean, curvy figure looking like the most enchanting sight ever.
The spell passed over her head, leaving no mark.
Cersei pounced on the knight and kicked the bloodstained breastplate of the Inferius.
Boom!
The knight's feet left the ground and it went flying in the distance.
Kai leisurely eyed the fight and nodded to himself.
He had been teaching Cersei a fighting method tailored for her.
She had the strength that rivaled a Top-level 5th-floor Contestant, but her agility outpaced her raw power by far.
Dealing with the undead in such a tight space was no issue for her.
"Come out, you guys," Kai said, eying his shadow. "Search for something. Anything."
Kai's shadow stirred as if it had come alive suddenly.
Shadow Space!
A sense of extreme despair and cold took over the corridor's darkness.
Vile, rattling breath escaped Kai's shadow, and then four figures levitated out of it, dressed in tattered, black cloaks that kept billowing noiselessly.
Lvl 1 Dementors!
After gaining Shadow Space Skill, Kai had been keeping his children in space within the Shadow Realm.
At first, he had thought of storing them in the four Pokeballs he carried on him.
But this method was better than that, leaving the Pokeballs empty for Selene to heal as the Items raised the HP Regeneration Rate of the magical creatures which the Dementors didn't need.
The four Dementors flew away from Kai, separating in different corridors.
-Selene,- Kai commanded, -see if Daphne and Dobby had gotten internal injuries or not.-
Hisss!
A long, white serpent, with dragon-like scales, slithered out from Kai and entered Darcie's two unconscious friends.
-They are good,- Selene hissed, slithering up to Kai's shoulders, flicking out her tongue to kiss his chin. -Master, I am getting bored.-
-Oh!- Kai hissed back, amused. -Should I take care of it myself, then?-
-Hehe!- Selene hissed mischievously, slithering around Kai's neck. -If you are not marveling at Cersei's figure, then why not?-
Kai frowned.
-Stop saying odd shit,- he hissed. -I didn't send you to Meg to become a spoiled teen, Selene.-
Meg was training with Elves in the Lord of the Rings Random World, preparing for war.
Kai had used his epithets to send the Pokeball, containing the Ghost Basilisk, to Meg to let Selene have some fun and gain experience.
Alas! When Selene returned, she had gained a habit of blurting out just about anything without thinking.
Hisss! Selene spit out a hiss at Kai.
-I am no teen, master!- she hissed haughtily. -I am a lady.-
The corners of Kai's mouth twitched.
Boom!
A magic shield flickered between the knight and Cersei, making her bullet-like punch land on it.
The entire corridor quaked under the booming sound.
-You are right, I guess,- Kai hissed, crouching, taking a running pose. -She's taking too long… and I was indeed appreciating her curves. Hehe!-
Selene sensed something and almost instantly burst into mist, entering Kai with fright.
In the distance, the hair on the back of Cersei's neck stood up.
The feeling of fatal doom danced in her head and she ran away like a scared cat, her fright greater than Selene's.
The rubble around Kai's feet stirred, rolled, and churned before lifting off the ground because of the sheer pressure he generated.
Then Kai kicked the ground, Murasame and Sounga appearing in his hands.
BOOM!
The swords landed on the magical shield and it didn't last for even a breath, shattering on the spot.
Behind the shield, the Inferius pointed its broken longsword at Kai, casting another dark spell.
Who would give it so much time, though?
Cersei appeared behind the knight and kicked at the back of its knees, making its legs wobble.
Kai popped out of existence and appeared over the knight's head, spinning round and round.
Metal screeched against metal, and a rotten head fell, rolling away on the stone slabs.
Cersei stomped on the helmet, frowning at the nauseating smell.
Kai appeared on the other side, his gaze indifferent. The headless knight between him and Cersei was still standing, reeking of death.
The bloodstains shone bloody and it sent a stunning spell at the living before it.
Kai smiled. He adjusted his footing to just inches toward his left and the stunning spell passed by his head as if he had already seen it coming.
The bloodstains again shone, but Kai had already disappeared.
A blur appeared everywhere around the Inferius, going in and out of existence. The sound of metal screeching reverberated far, the armor gaining hideous dents.
Ultimately, with a resounding crunch, the armor gave in, magical energy splattering the walls of the ruins.
Kai looked at the several pieces of the Inferius stirring on the ground for a few moments.
The head under Cersei's feet glowered but went silent after some time. The stirring of the skeletal body parts also died along with the growls.
Rumble!!!
The stone slabs shifted as if a chamber was opening up.
