A knight charges you, their long broadsword misses you narrowly as you duck just enough to avoid the blow before you retaliate with a counter attack, not with your newly acquired blade, but with your fist. Calling upon the strength granted to you with all of equipment you now possess in addition to Medea's reinforcement, your fist strikes against the armor plate of the knight who attempted to strike you.

Your fist effortlessly punches through the high quality magical steel worn by the knight, and your fist passes through the heart of the phantom knight, destroying his spiritual core and causing him instant death. A few seconds after you kill him, he disappears into motes of golden light that seem to return to Rhongomyniad.
