The four French knights whom we had encountered during the Life or Death Tournament were standing neatly in front of me. Just moments ago, it was their combined Holy Light Slash that had drained more than half of my HP. With my defense standing at over 3,000, taking more than 10,000 points of damage in a single hit was an absolute rarity. I had no idea what the cooldown time was for their Holy Light Slash, but if they managed to pull off another round of that, I would undoubtedly perish right here.
Although one of the hidden attributes of mid-tier artifact-grade and higher equipment was that it could not be dropped, it still wouldn't be worth it if any of my other gear dropped instead. Aside from my Level 70 Ring of Oaths, which was purple, everything else was at the very least orange-grade equipment. In particular, the Ice Snow Necklace, which came with the Absolute Defense skill—if that thing dropped, it would break my heart.
We were old acquaintances by now, and those four knights recognized me as well. In the Life or Death Tournament, they, too, had been stopped by my sword. Running into each other again was like meeting sworn enemies, making our eyes burn with hatred.
