Chapter 93 - Reynolds Plight
In the northern part of the trial land...
A youth could be seen moving at a fast speed towards a tower.
'This place should have something good'
The youth thought excitedly as he increased his speed.
This youth is undoubtedly Reynolds. After separating from the group, he had gone through different places and could be said to have gained some rewards since he had already broken through to the Ninth stage of the Arcane Plane not too long ago.
He had gotten into different battles during this time, but none of them got to the stage where both parties wanted the other dead. Now that he had ventured deeper into the trial land, the frequency of meeting others had increased dramatically compared to the first two weeks, where they barely met others.
Entering into the first floor of the tower, he found nothing.
"Well, this place is already ransacked"
Turning around, he headed towards the second floor.
"Still nothing"
He moved and went to the third floor.
Finding nothing there also, he faced the stairs to the fourth floor, and then the fifth. It was only on the eighth floor did he find something, and his eyes lit upon seeing it.
"An elemental weapon!"
He exclaimed before running towards it.
Picking up the old-looking spear, he carefully examined it.
"It looks broken, but not completely destroyed. It should still be able to be used for some time before it becomes useless"
"Sadly, it's a water elemental weapon. Guess I'll keep it for Klaus"
He searched for something he'll use to strap it to his back since it was too long to fit into his bag. The disadvantage of this though was that everyone would be able to see the weapon, and the greedy ones will attack him so they could acquire it. But there was nothing he could do, he couldn't hold the spear constantly since it will impede his movements. And even holding it was no different from this due to its length.
Searching the other floors, he didn't find anything good. He left the tower and headed for another one he saw while he was at the top of the tower.
On his way, he encountered a youth.
Seeing the spear on his back, the youth immediately attacked him.
'I know keeping this with me will attract trouble, but I can't leave it behind since I don't know if I can find another weapon, or even if Klaus could'
With this in his mind, he also attacked.
There were no greetings or words. Both parties engaged in a battle immediately.
After three minutes of fighting, Reynolds held the upper hand. Although not completely. There might still be a chance for his opponent to turn the tide, so the youth refused to stop the battle.
Reynolds thought hatefully.
He had always hated the Starlight Academy, but now, the hatred has increased by a hundred folds.
Death was in front of him, and he didn't know if he might be able to escape.
"I'll kill you people"
Reynolds spat hatefully.
"Haha, good. I'd like to see you try"
The girl giggled with her hands covering her mouth.
They once again started fighting with Reynolds getting hit most of the time. If not for his movement technique, he would have already been dead. The lightning element was known not just for its destructive power, but also for its insane speed.
This speed had allowed Reynolds to hold on for this long, but he was already starting to tire. Once again he tried to flee the trio but was soon caught due to his tiredness.
"These hateful bunch"
Reynolds was infuriated.
Currently, they had been chasing and attacking him for over five hours. It was like he was a game to them. He was already injured in multiple places, and the prolonged running and fighting were already starting to take their toll. Not to mention his injuries as well.
"Running is futile, you stand there humbly like the dog you are and stretch out your neck"
One of the boys said while grinning evilly.
They were now in a compound and there was no place for Reynolds to run to any longer.
Reynolds looked at them with madness visible in his eyes. His eyes had already turned bloodshot from the anger boiling inside him. But being unable to unleash that anger seemed to make matters worse.
He was grinding his teeth so hard that blood was already dripping from his mouth.
"Be careful boys, even a cornered rabbit will fight back"
The girl said laughing.
The others also burst into laughter. They knew she was only mocking Reynolds.
"Arghh"
Reynolds roared in madness.
"I'll kill you all"
He yelled out loud.
"Hehe, if you can survive, that is"
The boys said while laughing.
They once again resumed their attacks on him.
