Sorcerous Stabber Orphen
Chapter 5 - Night of “Hunting”
“damn it, we've searched the entire warehouse and can’t find it That monster must have taken it”
Childman was as cold as ever
“For five years, me and my men have been after that monster You can understand e must kill it”
“So you intend to erase her from existence?”
Orphen ed —— his cheek didn’t even twitch He just coldly replied
“She died five years ago We are only hunting a flying monster”
“Azalie is that flying monster!”
“As long as her sanity remains, I know she won’t kill me”
Hartia then spoke next However, Orphen didn’t pay attention to him
“But Childic skills can you beat her?”
Childman’s footsteps came to a sudden halt
“Maybe, but she has a hidden trump card”
“White ic”
Orphen said flatly Hartia’s face had lost some of it’s color
Child a lecture
“White h it sounds rather siic, when used right”
He gently waved his hand
“Even the usage of white ic in wartime has been known to turn to tide of the war”
Child his hair
“What’s wrong Child isn’t usually your style”
“If you would have let ic isn’t everything That’s because, theforce is a well disciplined black sorcerer”
“Are you still planning on killing her?”
Orphen said with clenched teeth However, the teacher was as cold as ever
“Of course However, I could do with your assistance”
“Screw you!”
“Krylancelo, this is ——”
Hartia et Orphen’s attention However, the red headed man bit his lip
“This is your atoneether we can find her faster”
“I want to find her alive, I don’t want to kill her”
“Krylancelo, I want you to participate in our plan We’ll find her—— no, the et back the sword If you do, you could rise to a high position within the tower You could perhaps become an assistant to one of the teachers”
Orphen was filled with a sense of disgust, so much that he almost vomited
“I’ve had enough of you and that place You’ll have to rely on your ownto do with you”
“Can’t you see that this is only causing har and it’s reputation? If we fail in our quest, the authority of the Toill pluain what you have lost You can still becoain, don’t throw your past away”
Hartia sed and took a deep breath
“Do you want to do odd jobs for the rest of your life?”
“My hope is that ——”
Orphen was cut h stopped the twoHartia turned to look at hi He just watched thean to talk
“You two are arguing over pointless things Krylancelo, listen to ainst thewill also be participating
“Do you know her location?”
“When you were in this branch the other day, I snuck into the Everlasting residence I found the sword in the warehouse, and I put a tracking spell on it That way, I can track where it goes”
“You alere one step ahead of me”
“Tonight ill kill that flying monster You can come with us, but if you do you will followor not?”
“”
Taking everyone is consideration, they’re power could rival that of even the Thirteen Apostles
Orphen quietly asked Childman a question
“Do you really think you can stop Azalie hite ic?”
“Possibly”
Childman answered, as cruel as ever
“That isn’t a definite anshat’s the real plan?”
“Why do you think I brought so many people It’s like chess, the pawns sacrifice the It doesn't matter how many people die in the initial attack, what h to kill the monster”
“I think that’s fairly obvious”
Orphen said while thinking to himself
(Who knows)
He then asked another question
“So, who’s leading the charge against Azalie?”
“You are The young are the h your character could do with some improvement——”
“Besides, if you die That means less paperwork for me”
“Oh, poor me Why do I have to suffer like this? That bastard should get his own hands dirty for once!”
Vulcan said as he alking through tall grass and weeds Meanwhile, his brother Dortin was cutting the tall grass and weeds in front of him
“What right do you have to complain?”
Behind Dortin was Vulcan, as holding a la the occasional ith his own machete
“I have every right!
Behind Vulcan was Cleo, she earing lightweight riding clothes and holding a sword
“I heard that you got some inforo there?”
“Don’t questionskills”
Vulcan didn’t look back
“As a matter of fact, a friend of oing”
“Can you actually trust those so-called friends of yours?”
Cleo asked However, a look of impotence went over Vulcan’s face He didn’t have the heart to face the girl with her sword out
“Watch where you're pointing that sword”
“How dare you, a knight’s sword is held with justice”
Cleothis, Vulcan started to move faster But there was no escape, so Vulcan raised his oeapon
“You say knight? Since when did the Everlasting family become nobles? If you don’t stop this nonsense, I’ll kill you with a pencil!”
A loud roar resounded through the forest It was deafening, sobranches and leaves alike flying, Orphen even had to use his arm to protect himself
Then, the roar happened again
(That’s Azalie’s roar!)
Instantly, Orphen happily rushed out ahead —— he thought Azalie’s roar was a reaction to his yelling If that was the case, then she still retained some of her sanity
(No —— wait)
Orphen ran
(Could she have known that hu, is that why she roared? If the beast continues to do this, she could escape)
If that’s the case, then there was no chance for hioes for Childman too
“I won’t give up!”
Adrenaline puh the forest at aas he neared her position, leaping from place to place he heard——
Azalie roar again, but this one was different, it shook the forest to it’s very core As coan to shake And all the trees and weeds within a ten an to sink beneath the earth, as Orphen looked in dismay But it wasn’t the now desolated area he should be concerned about, but the huge shadow in the center
(Azalie……)
Orphen gazed at the huge beast as he sat a h large, the beast ht He could tell this as Azalie was now three—— it was the sword of baltanders
Orphen stared at the beast, while it laid there motionless
(Why did it create an open space in the forest?)
Orphen carefully questioned himself
(Naturally, she probably knew people were hunting her But it didn’t make any sense for her to destroy part of the forest Unless ——)
Orphen started thinking, then Azalie roared, as to signal her movement
(Unless she ht!)
Azalie started purring, just as Orphen tried to retreat
But at that very ht at Orphen Catapulting hi He then shouted at Azalie
“Azalie! Don’t you recognize me?”
She answered his call with another attack But luckily he was able to roll out of the way, he then shouted again
“Have you really lost your memory of me, Azalie?”
The beast didn’t seeain
Nu over the deafening roar
Orphen put out his arms, and shouted
“Aertips!”
The shi+eld made from compressed air protected hi some scratches on Orphen’s face
(She’s going to kill me)
Orphen was stunned at the immense power that the beast had, he knew that he couldn’t escape He will probably be her first kill of the night
(Factoring in our difference in power, I’d say I have no chance in winning)
In the middle of the battle, Orphen hesitated Azalie put her head into the air and started suht, which expanded rapidly Orphen’s body was suddenly wrought with pain, as a strong electrostatic dischargea massive attack, no matter what kind of defense Orphen has, it will hit him directly
(I’onna be killed——)
Orphen closed his eyes in despair——
Though even with his eyelids closed, he could still see a soht
Orphen opened his eyes, and Azalie’s attack wasn’t released
Bam!
Froht and heat struck Azalie in the face, then the ball of light exploded A blast of as sent in every direction, and even grazed Orphen’s skin In the center there were only flames, he couldn’t even see her shadow
(Is Azalie dead?)
Not knohat had just happened, Orphen turned around to the forest behind hiroup of black sorcerers and the old man
“Childman? He’s here?!”
Orphen shouted Childman could still hear his cries over the explosion, as he calmly walked towards him with no expression Hartia and the other’s followed after him, the could all see the fear on Orphen’s face All the other sorcerers had a wide variety of expressions, but none of them were ic came towards Orphen, and passed hi the monster Orphen then looked over at Childman
“I wanted to surprise you”
Orphen mumbled, while Childman replied coldly
“Oh, really? I thought I made myself clear”
He shrugged
“I said you were leading the charge”
“You bastard!”
Orphen shouted at Childman Darkness suddenly fell all around them, then the pillar of fire dissipated
Azalie roared again At the same time, Childman moved behind the white sorcerer, as now surrounded by blue and white flames
“!”
He didn’t even have time to scream, the flames were so hot that it killed him instantly He was incinerated
“Spread out!”
