With a single clash, both Ghislain and Equidema were thrown backward, their bodies hurtling to opposite sides.

Knights battling the Riftborn nearby caught a glimpse of the scene and gasped in disbelief.

“The Count… got pushed back?”
“What is that monster?”
“Are we all going to die at this rate?”

Ghislain Fenris, one of the top five strongest individuals in the kingdom, had been forced back. What kind of monster could possess such overwhelming strength?

Equidema, however, hadn’t come out unscathed. The beast had been pushed back by Ghislain’s power, proving that it wasn’t overwhelmingly stronger than him.
