Chapter 305 - Pain on her chest.

The residents of which lived in the house where Chan broke through the ceiling at, recognized him although they didn't see him for months because ever since Chan took upon himself the responsibility of gathering all three ingredients for the staff, he normally stayed in Crutal Kingdom for a day or two at max between tasks.

The family recognized him, and swiftly tried to help him in the middle of this crazy situation. Chan obtained some minor cats due to going through a ceiling, so the woman of this family instantly grabbed a rag and the man in this family helped him sit up and started pulling pieces of wood planks out of Chan's skin.

A small girl, possibly 4 years old. Approached Chan gently, and grabbed the bottom of his shirt. Pulling it a bit roughly to grab his attention, she repeatedly asked. "Is the big bad man gone?"

After feeling his shirt pulled for the third time, he looked down towards her and felt instantly puzzled. He has absolutely no idea what she is meaning, considering that the tallest person in that little battle was Dilli Flury standing 6 foot tall, and she is a woman.

Having enough nerves to treat a little ill.u.s.tratian girl kindly, he replied. "Yes the Demons are all gone." Angry enough, when he spoke about Demons here he meant Dilli Flury again. It stung him in the heart for a bit, because they just started getting along.

"So Demons attacked the Kingdom? I only saw one and dragged by daughter inside immediately!" The man spoke as he grabbed the cloth that his wife provided and started wiping off some blood here and there, afterwards holding it firm on Chan's arm before he requested. "Get me another rag."

I'm not sure what happened, at this point you know more than me about the situation." Chan still tried to remain patient, urging to sip some ale so his brain can go numb enough to forget this whole day at least for a while. But he also felt a small urge to specify, "I just came in the Kingdom."

...

Over ten minutes later, Guard Commander Chan walked out of the house of that nice family who helped him and noticed that the situation in this Kingom has already become better and better. Not to be confused, there are still dead people under rumbles of wood and rock but at least there aren't "Demons" shooting at anyone in sight!

With rags tied around both his shoulder and a big one tied around his waist, he made his way up towards where the Castle used to be. "This is crazy!" He murmured to himself as he noticed how the entire towering castle that was easily visible from any part of the Kingdom, is no longer there.

Walking closer to the Castle's radius, he saw countless Guards digging out people from all this rubble. Some were alive, some had bad wounds and were immediately sent to the healers of this Kingdom who have a Zamerian origin, and some just didn't make it. Either way, each scene carried a new type of trauma and most who handled this situation won't sleep well.

...

"Lift!" Shouted a Guard in between 30 other Guards once the sign of life was heard in between rocks blasted in such a way that they didn't kill anyone who was caught in it. Luckily throughout all this panic, someone heard them call for help.

"Lift!" Another Guard shouted once more, noticing that the first attempt wasn't enough to move this rock ranging possibly over 5 tons!

"We need more men!" Shouted one, and the rest repeated until more and more joined the scene.

Now with over 50 people in the scene, they managed to move this large rock! But they did not yet manage to get anyone out, they didn't move the rock enough for such a purpose.

"We need more men!" One man pointed out the obvious, and more Guards joined the scene. Luckily the Grand Capital always has enough Soldiers/Guards to spare.

Now with over 80 people in this scene, giving in all their effort to move this rock and save the poor poor people stuck here, they actually managed to move it enough! They even lifted it off the ground for a foot, before they dropped it after pulling it back for 6 meters!

5 kids ran out of it with joy of finally getting out, and three a.d.u.l.ts ran out as well. The Guards who went in to check for more bodies, noticed that these pieces of rock were formed in such a way that it looks like a house in some points of view. It had four walls and a roof, even though those walls might have weighed over 20 tons.

One last man was helped to walk out, finally seeing the light from the sun out of a sudden, his eyes were forced shut. Gently opening and closing them until he got used to this ray of light, he glanced around and noticed that one man stands out from the crowd even though he is not the tallest.

With a thick tone after a cough, he glanced in confusion and asked. "Son?"

The man he is looking at, is none other than Guard Commander Chan who has rushed his way up here once he heard that the Guards need help lifting a rock. Chan giving a shit for people? That is new in some aspects, but this situation is different. He isn't talking to old ladies or kids.

However that's not the point! This tone sounded very familiar to Chan, the only difference is that this time this man who came out of the rubble, didn't take a few seconds mid sentence to talk.

"Grand King Xakro?" Asked Chan in curiosity. And once he spoke so, everyone took his word seriously. Because if there is anyone who can recognize the Grand King, it is him due to all that time spent with him, which reaches second to Arthur. This seriously says a lot because apparently the Grand King shared beds with women before. "What happened to you?"

...

Flying for about a Kilometer, she felt her head clearing out more and more by the passing second. As if the kiss from the summer heat accompanied by the light breeze one would attain while flying through the sky, helped her feel a lot better.

The breeze amazing, she felt on top of the world. But most importantly all her thoughts met a large shift, she doesn't want to stand in unity with the illas Alliance. Grabbing her necklace she torched it on her hand with a tight grip before letting the ashes fall down underneath her.

Now she feels a lot more calm, that splitting headache is almost gone but when one problem closes, more open. Her chest suddenly felt very tight, and she started losing control of her powers but not enough to force her in to a dangerous situation, such as going splat on the ground.

The fire underneath her feet started reducing, and she started falling down at a mild speed. She tried to fly so she can get as far away from Crutal Kingdom as possible but the fire underneath her feet just kept reducing and the pain on her chest kept getting stronger.

Finally reaching the ground, but falling down fast enough for her to tumble twice. Luckily she didn't break any bones or faced any cuts from the small rocks on the road she fell over, but that pain in her chest didn't stop.

She clenched on the dirt underneath her palms with tremendous strength and with a cough, blood puked through her mouth. Only a few drops fell down, at least it was just a few drops before she coughed for the second time.

When she coughed the second time, the blood dropped down tenfold and she covered the field in front of her with it. It felt like her soul started getting out through her throat, this is the most violent puking she ever faced, it felt like her guts want to explode.

Coughing up for the third time, she unleashed twice the blood compared to the second time and this time there was this type of darker blood mixed with it. Finally her world started becoming dizzy and she collapsed.

...

Waking up at night time, at first feeling like she became blind until she found the stars on the sky. She felt her clothes soaked in blood and the terrible odour that came along with it.

Blowing a bit of fire from her hands to check her surroundings, she could see many red eyes in the forest only about 15 meters near her, but thankfully none chose to attack due to the fire. At this rate, she felt like she can't take them on.

She barely has enough energy to stand up, as if she used her powers for 24 hours nonstop. She used all her stamina before but she never felt this tired. Along with this tiredness she felt that the pain on her chest is completely gone now, and most importantly she feels free.

But, "I really need some help." She murmured to herself with the little energy she has.
