CRAAASH!
Both soldiers fell into despair as the claws of the Nightmare Car Monsters aimed at them. However, instead of death, the two soldiers realized that something else had taken the blow. They looked in front of them to find a tall knight clad in white and golden armor, with several swords floating around him.
Four shields made of light had been summoned, protecting them from the attacks of the Nightmarish Car Monsters. A blond young man stared back at them.
They quickly recognized him. He was among the Academy's top ten strongest students.
"A-Artorias?!"
"Aren't you a student? You shouldn't be here…!"
"Is this how you're going to thank me for saving your lives? If you cannot fight anymore, you should evacuate as well," Artorias said, holding Excalibur, his Dream Weapon, tightly. "I must show Jonathan that I am a knight as well and protect the weak. Focusing too much on myself was wrong and selfish… so please, while I protect you, run."
"Thanks…!"
