Vol 1 Chapter 5 (2/2)
Childave orders to his subordinates, the black sorcerers rushed in all directions likea pack of dogs Only Childman remained in the center, meanwhile Orphen watched him
“She’s so stubborn”
Childan to talk softly, then the black sorcerers went on the attack
“Fire!”
They all shouted their own spells, Fire, Wind, Light and so on A total of six attacks came frohout the night sky, and all the attacks stop half way
Then Azalie roared again, and a bolt of lightning hit one of the black sorcerers, blowing up his body It seeic Staring at as left of the young man’s body, Orphen wondered what he should do He knew that even though Azalie was fighting, she couldn't hold it up for long So, Orphen had to do so to help her, but he just didn't knohat to do
(I understand But, can I do it?)
Orphen glanced over at Childht now, the teacher’s attention was concentrated on theAzalie He also noticed that Child back, and so he made up his mind Orphen was determined, and he ran in the direction of Azalie
(I need to take that sword away from her and escape That way, Childman will come after me and Azalie will retreat just like last time)
He looked at the sword lying at her feet, Orphen opened hisa mantra And with one deep breath, he increased his body's strength With the strength of a beast, he slid past Azalie and grabbed the sword Then he made a break for the forest, but behind Orphen ——
“Hartia! Krylancelo has taken the sword! Go after him!”
In the ive Hartia an order
Boom, boom
He could constantly hear explosions going off behind his —— he could tell that Azalie wasn't dead He tightened his grip of the huge sword of Baltanders, and stopped in his tracks Looking into the forest, he couldn't see anyone approaching
(Childuys with Hartia after e)
Orphen began to run again, he wanted to avoid fighting Hartia at all costs
But——
“Fire!”
Hartia shouted The tree Orphen just ran by caught fire, and began to burn Orphen knew he had to turn around and face hi for him, and for the first few seconds he couldn't see him The suddenly, he caround He pulled his sword out of it’s sheath and charged forward
“That monster killed Komikuron! Do you remember him? He was from our class, Childman’s class!”
Hartia shouted He was killed when Azalie hit hi, Orphen mustn’ve noticed that it was him
“That was Komikuron?”
Orphen rily spoke
“Everyone kne dangerous this operation would be, but you continue to disappoint us!”
“Disappoint?”
“You betrayed us!”
Hartia fiercely said, as he pointed at Orphen
“If you are so deter Can’t you see she doesn't have the will to fight?”
“You want me to kill Azalie”
Orphen’s smile was full of irony He then stuck the Sword of Baltanders into the ground, standing upright
Hartia’s look changed to that of disgust
“She no longer has a heart, she is simply a beast”
“That’s not true, the sword can change her back to her old self And I’ll be the one to do it!”
“Did you forget? She killed Komikuron!”
“Yes, because you attacked her first It’s called self-defense”
“Even so, didn't she attack you first That’s not what I would call self-defense!”
“It see two parallel lines”
Orphen deliberately imitated the tone of Childman This lit a fire in Hartia’s eyes
“Then it’s war from here on out!”
“This won’t end well for you Reer?”
Orphen quickly began to chant
“Sword of Light, whom I do release!”
Boom!
A wave of light and heat exploded between the two men, dirt and dust was kicked up all around thee of this and jumped backwards, to distance himself from Hartia
Meanwhile, Hartia started chanting
“Darkness!”
At that very moment, darkness came upon them from every direction —— so much that you couldn’t even see the stars Even with his strong nighttih this darkness Orphen continued to jump backwards, he didn't think Hartia would have casted this in such a big area But no matter how much he ave up retreating, stuck out his hand and shouted
“I withdraw thee——”
However, sorabbed Orphen’s arm
“……!”
Orphen was flung through the air and hit the sword, but it didn't seem to be Hartia who did it
Orphen threay the sword, put both of his hands together at this chest and shouted
“I erase thee, demon's footprints”
He eical environ broken
Orphen looked around, where he saw Hartia standing ten metres away But then that’s when he saw her, even Hartia noticed his expression of disbelief
“Cleo!”
“Orphen!!!”
She spoke with a tearful voice and cah the bushes behind Hartia, she kicked the red-haired round Then she stood on top of him —— no doubt about it, that’s Cleo
“Help!”
Then Vulcan and Dortin ca on the poor Hartia as they ca towards Orphen
“Monster! There’s a monster! This is your line of work, you black sorcerer bastard!”
“What my brother means to say, is help”
“You guys, what’s going on?”
Orphen said as he hugged the girl, the moved onto the hard questions
“Well, I wanted to help find the monster and ——”
“She hit it with a rock! You've got to help us”
“I didn't do it on purpose you dimwit!”
“Caluys You mean Azalie, don’t you?”
Orphen looked in the direction he had just ca to lift hiry face
“You bastards!”
But just as he shouted, a huge figure ca out of the bushes
Hartia screaoing to tra
“Sword of Light, whom I do release!”
A bright light lit up the entire forest
A wave of light and heat struck the shadowy figure, blowing it up After the dust had settled, Orphen could see that the explosion sent Hartia flying a couple ofin pain, and concentrated on the half blown up corpse of the ans were now exposed, it was s like Azalie, for one it looked like a e bladder near it’s throat
“Looks like your monster was just a wild animal”
“Is it dead?”
Cleo said, as she tightly hugged Orphen’s waist Orphen then put his hand on her blonde hair and spoke
“For the h, I didn’t expect to see this kind of beast around these parts”
“Ha ha ha!”
Cleo said sincerely, she then threw the sword at Vulcan and Dortin Both of the backwards
“Those two can guard the sword Don’t cast me aside…I can come in handy”
“Listen here ——”
After listening to her, Orphen suddenly felt like he had too e her mind
“Fine, you can come with me”
Orphen finished his sentence, Cleo was ecstatic and started cheering Then moved for a little bit until——
“Hey, wait a minute”
“Why?”
“I’ve coot blisters on the bottom of my feet If I continue like this my feet will start to bleed, could you possibly carry me?”
Orphen ignored her and ran on ahead The cheering behind hi
He made it back to the battlefield and saw that it was over It was obvious that Azalie inning, scattered across the area were a couple of corpses He saw the burned old white sorcerer, and Komikuron, there were two other headless bodies Orphen took another look around and saw an unidentifiable black sorcerer that was also burnedEveryone seeic
(Why didn't she use white ic?)
This was bugging Orphen, fro household she didn’t use white ic at all
Azalie had an extraordinary fighting ability After all she was know as the demon witch, one of the best black sorcerers However, he only counted five corpses That just leaves Childman
He was staring directly at Orphen, he had just returned fro on Hartia He turned his attention to Azalie, and shouted
“Light!”
An aht e an explosion It was so hot that it scorched the ground nearby, but it seemed Azalie didn't suffer serious injuries She ical barrier
(With such terrible strength, I don’t think Childman can win)
Azalie then roared, and started to prepare an attack Then teacher and student both took a stance, and both shouted in unison
“I spin thee, arht!”
Both of them summoned a barrier around them, but Childman’s barrier was less than perfect Parts of his clothes started to catch fire, he could be in real danger Azalie loomed over hiht it ironic
“Do you need my help?”
“Komikuron may not be dead?
“I can’t help you I want to save Azalie and you want to kill her”
Then Orphen frowned
“Azalie’s strong isn't she? She has the kind of power that no mere human can match”
“Of course she does”
Childman coldly answered, as he started another mantra
“Light!”
“Stop it!”
Orphen shouted
Azalie and Childman both unleashed an attack on eachother Both of their barrier withstood their attacks, but after the bright light disappeared, Childman was nowhere to be seen
Then all Orphen could hear was Child
“Are you really going to defend that ic until dawn?”
“I want you to understand one thing”
“Demon!”
Tap Tap Tap
It sounded like the devil’s footsteps, a trehed down upon the earth So an to sink into the earth, she could feel the pressure squeezing her tightly
Azalie started to groan loudly, as if she was gonna cast , as the newly for blackshe was completely covered in it
In the silence of the night forest, shouting suddenly rang out
“da sacks of flour, I outta whip you into shape”
“Shut up!”
“If I were two feet taller I could beat you with one arm”
Orphen looked and saw Hartia holding Vulcan, he then saw Dortin and Cleo following hithened hies, he was also carrying the Sword of Baltanders
“Orphen, I’ the sword back to the Tower”
Hartia smirked
“My acting wasn't bad, right?”
Hartia said, as he was held Cleo and the other’s hostage
However, Orphen payed no attention to his words He didn't even care, about Hartia or the Sword of Baltanders Because Orphen was beginning to understand his stupid tricks
