Chapter 107

Chapter 107

I can read the future. To put it accurately, I sense dangers within 5 seconds.

Therefore, at this moment, Eignak could fight like a seasoned superhuman with accelerated reflexes. Because he could anticipate and respond to even the fastest attacks before they hit.

So, with the rising dark magic, his body gradually speeds up. Its becoming more refined.

Dodging the sharp sword strikes aimed at his neck.

Deflecting the sword thrust aimed at his chest.

Avoiding the fire magic aimed at his head.

Redirecting the powerful axe swing aimed at his back with his shoulder armor.

-Clang! Clangclangclang!!

Even facing four opponents, he wasnt being pushed back. On the contrary, he was overwhelming them. With even stronger strength, with even more intense magic. The little ones in front of him werent a match from the start, and they were even injured.

All four of them were gasping, torn to shreds. Like a candle on the verge of extinguishing, seeming to flicker at any moment, they exerted their full strength with every moment.

But a candle is brightest just before it goes out. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

-Shwick!!

The first direct hit landed. He was aware, but it was an axe blade falling from an angle he couldnt dodge.

Eignak swung his staff, trying to suppress the rising panic.

-Shwack!

However, he was blocked. Isabelle and Oscar, two warriors fueled by anger, intercepted the powerful blow of the orc warrior. They skillfully parried the attacks aimed at Ecdysis.

And then, the next strike landed.

-Fwrrrrk Bam!

A fireball aimed at Eignaks head. He tried to turn his head, but it was impossible in this position with the staff wedged in. Even though he anticipated it beforehand, he couldnt move any further.

Krrrrk!! You bastards!!

Foam spewed from Eignaks mouth. Anger surged, making his vision blurry.

The more he fought, the more he understood. Seeing the future enabled him to comprehend it more clearly.

These guys were becoming more refined over time. They bit down on it tightly, even with bodies that seemed like they would crumble at any moment, and endured the pain that permeated their whole being.

Throwing themselves to protect their comrades, pushing their bodies forward to assist those who went ahead.

-Clang!!

As the others ahead fully absorbed Eignaks strength, another person delivered a strike. At an angle impossible to evade and with a speed difficult to react to even when known.

Thus, their nerve acceleration was becoming faster and sharper.

Suddenly, Isabelles limit was reached. Her overloaded nerves felt as if they would snap at any moment. Yet, she didnt stop. One more step forward, one more strike.

Today, no one will die before me. It will never happen.

Isabelles blue eyes sparkled like stars. Even pain couldnt cloud her cognition. The blade finally grazed deeply past Eignaks side.

-Swish!

Blood splattered into the air. With everyones time highly accelerated, it seemed like a surging wave. It soared into the night sky, reflecting off the bonfire.

Bewildered, Eignaks stance crumbled. Is it now? No, not yet. His strength hadnt been entirely depleted.

Krrrrrrrr!!

Foaming at the mouth with rage, Eignak swung his arm towards Isabelle.

Normally, comparing the physical performance of orcs and humans would be unfair, so despite receiving dozens of blows, it was difficult to kill Eignak. Yet, with just one strike, Eignak could end their lives.

So, as Isabelles stance crumbled after the attack, she looked up at Eignaks approaching massive fist and smiled faintly.

I protected you!

Blood stained the ground thickly.

Tap, thud.

The sound of the dying embers comforted the silence that followed the intense battle.

We won

Anyone injured?

Me.

Me too.

Do you even need to ask?

Oscar chuckled, shaking his limp arm.

Just tried cracking a joke. Feels like Im about to die. It really hurts.

Even a knight of Tylesse.

A knight is still a person. When both arms are broken, you actually want to cry, but its too tough right now, tears wont even come out.

By the way, Im pouring tears and blood together, so I cant see well. Thats what sacrifice is about. Graykencos has always sacrificed for humans, after all.

Every time I talk to you, I feel like Im learning a completely unknown history. It sounds like stories from another world.

Thats human nature. Short-lived learning. Typically, both lifespan and learning are short.

Isabelle chuckled at Elpheiras words and staggered to her feet.

Bella? Where are you going?

Uncle, I have to go save him. We dont even know where he might be lying right now. Sigh. I wonder if hes still alive.

Isabelle shrugged and took a step forward. Before she could even take three steps, she involuntarily sat down.

Ecdysis, who had approached her side unnoticed, was now supporting her arm.

Oh, thanks.

For what. I have the same reason, so shall we look for him together?

Uncle?

Yeah, uncle. Im worried. Were family here.

F-family??

In Isabelles gaze, Ecdysis offered a mature smile.

Elpheira seemed to contemplate getting up now, and Oscar just sat down, saying, Whatever.

-Thud.

Footsteps echoed distinctly.

No need for that.

Somehow, a bit familiar.

So, with a somewhat uneasy voice.

Eh?

The first to react was Isabelle. She stared blankly ahead. Though her focus was blurred, she could recognize the approaching shadow.

Lifting her trembling arm, she gently rubbed her eyes, then focused again and looked ahead looked ahead.

Uncle?
