74 Chapter 72: Severing Ties (1/2)

.....

”I'm sorry for everything! I-I'm sorry for being so weak! I'm sorry for not realizing that you're just as tired as we are....I'm sorry for not seeing that you're not like everyone else....everyone in this world is so cruel...but you're different, you do think about others....because Yannel and I wouldn't be here right now if you didn't...” Danya cried

”You could've ignored me at the inn but you took pity on me who was a stranger and even became an adventurer to help me, a-and you could've ignored what Yannel was going through...you stopped him from being picked on by those adventurers, and you even helped him save his family...” Danya said

”You even told me about your past...which is something that you'd only tell someone that you see as a friend...” Danya fell on her knees and cried

Ivery walked closer to Danya and stood in front of her.

”.....” Ivery looked down at her and didn't say a word

”I meant what I said before, I'll help you become an adventurer Danya...” Ivery said

”But that doesn't mean we're going to go back to the way things were before, whatever relationship we had or were going to have died back there....I may take pity on others and do my best to help those in need since I have the power to do so...but I won't be forgiving to those who trample all over my kindness.” Ivery crossed her arms and coldly looked down at Danya who was starting to tear again

”Those people that kicked you out of your old group should've heard those words and more, yet you couldn't muster the courage to use your voice and speak up then but you didn't hesitate to snap at me.”

”They were the ones who looked down on you, they didn't try to help you grow stronger and didn't give you a chance and yet you get mad at someone who tried to finally help you...” Ivery was growing more pissed by the second

”That's really twisted Danya, you let all of your anger out on the wrong person, and I wonder if it solved anything, did it give you justice? Did it make you feel better?” Ivery asked

”No...” Danya shook her head

”Have I really done anything to deserve your contempt? Or was it just pent-up anger that you wanted to release?” Ivery rhetorically asked

”I-” Danya wiped her eyes

”Don't answer that.” Ivery interrupted

”When we arrive in Yusveil, that's where we officially part ways, and then you can find yourself a new group of companions there....but that's if you pass the entry assessment...” Ivery said

”If I pass...?” Danya didn't understand..

”I didn't tell you all yet, but during the entry assessments killing your opponent is fully allowed...if you make it to the finals just hope that you don't have Lutris as your opponent, because I assure you....after what transpired today, he won't think twice about killing you or going easy on you during the assessment.” Ivery warned Danya

”Don't worry, I'll still lose against you.....I have no intention of killing or harming you.....however my fiance has a small temper....I doubt he'll still go along with the plan once you're officially his opponent.” Ivery told her

”.....” Danya was currently dreading the entry assessment

...

”Ivery....don't tell me that you're still intending to bring her along with us.” Luther walked up to Ivery and Yannel walked behind him, carefully avoiding the undead around them

The undead in the town wasn't necessarily hostile to the point of attacking with weapons or bearing their teeth. They were basically programmed in a way to only give the living that enters their town the black poison that ultimately turns them into the undead after the poison kills them within a matter of seconds. Which was why they weren't being attacked by the undead that resided in the town.

”She's still coming with us, but she already knows where our relationship stands.” Ivery said

”If that's your decision....I'll go along with it for now.” Luther looked down at Danya

”From now on, don't expect any of us to save you from whatever stupid situations you get yourself into next, if you continue being a nuisance...I'll kill you right where you stand, and Ivery won't be able to react fast enough to even think about having me spare you.” Luther's cold purple eyes pierced right into Danya's soul

Looking into those cold chilling eyes, Danya's vision suddenly blurred and she somehow saw moving pictures in her mind. What she saw almost shattered her mind beyond repair...she saw her own death...

She screamed in pain and clutched at her chest, tears rolled down her eyes.

”What are you doing to her?” Yannel asked, not worried for Danya's wellbeing but just curious as to what he was doing to make her writhe in pain without her being physically harmed

”I'm just showing her a glimpse of what her death will be if she were to die by my hands.” Luther smirked

”How are you going to kill her...?” Yannel asked

”You want to see too?” Luther's glowing eyes looked at Yannel

Instantly a series of moving pictures appeared in Yannel's head, taking over his sight...

”Oh god!” Yannel closed his eyes not wanting to see anymore, he turned around and vomited on the ground

Ivery watched in slight shock.

”Was it that bad?” Ivery asked

”That was beyond bad!” Yannel coughed, wishing to unsee what he was forced to see

”My whole body is aching....” Yannel's legs gave out and he sat on the ground, he felt his heart hitting harshly against his chest

”I didn't even show it to you from her perspective.” Luther grinned

”I wish you didn't show me at all.” Yannel took a deep breath, but he still appeared pale from the intense shock

”Curiosity can be deadly...” Luther said
