74 Chapter 72: Severing Ties (2/2)
”It seems like this ability was enhanced then....” Luther didn't know which abilities of his changed or were enhanced, he never had the chance to fully check them
Yannel couldn't believe what Luther was planning on doing to Danya if she slipped up again....the way he was going to kill her made getting stabbed fifty times all over your body, consciously getting all of your limbs cut off and being gutted alive seem like a better way to die.
Luther released Danya and she weakly sat up, her body felt like she was being stabbed by small needles all over.
”Do you still want to come with us after knowing that's how you'll die if you make a single blunder?” Luther asked
”I...do...I'm as good as dead on my own out here anyway...” Danya was still shaking
”Sounds like a lose-lose situation for you.” Luther shrugged
”A-And Ivery! I swear that I'll do everything in my power to be your friend again!” Danya shouted
”.....” Ivery looked at Danya with disappointment
”Is that so? Good luck then...” Ivery sighed and walked towards the town's exit
”If you even touch my fiance with one finger, you'll lose it.” Luther threatened Danya, wanting to kill her with every fiber of his being
”D...Do you have to be so mean...? And s..she never said that I couldn't touch her...” Danya asked as she tried to muster the strength to stand up
”What was that? Maybe you've misunderstood something, I was only tolerating you because you were Ivery's friend, and I admit I did help you out but not because I grew fond of you or anything of the sort, it was only because Ivery would be upset and would cut herself again to give her blood to you if you had died.” Luther told her
”So now that you're no longer a friend of my fiance, what reason do I need to fake politeness towards you?” Luther lightly chuckled
”And it doesn't matter if she never said that you couldn't touch her, I'm telling you not to touch her.” Luther turned around and headed to where Ivery went
”Yannel...do you hate me too?” Danya looked at Yannel with sadness filled in her eyes
”I don't hate you.” Yannel said as he got up from the ground
”Really...?” Danya lightly smiled
”I just don't like you anymore.” Yannel bluntly said
The light smile she had dropped and shattered.
”When I really think about it, the debt that I have is only for Ivery and Lutris...not you.” Yannel said
”But...I helped save your family too..” Danya slightly frowned
”No, you just tagged along...you didn't really do much to actually save my family and the people who were taken and forced into labor as well.” Yannel said
”You wouldn't have even gone down into their hideout if Ivery hadn't dragged you down, it makes me wonder why someone like you even wants to become an adventurer, it's like you're scared of everything that makes an adventurer an adventurer....I'm younger than you and I'm an A rank adventurer, while you're just a C-rank.” Yannel scoffed
”How long have you been a C-rank adventurer?” Yannel asked
”Four years...” Danya sadly admitted, she couldn't believe she was being looked down on by a child
”Four years and you're still a C-rank....and I bet you only became a C-rank because you were always in a group....you never truly adventured by yourself...never experienced real danger, I've had to look after myself for a year, fight my own battles since no one wanted to have a kid in their group....I had to work hard to get where I am today...” Yannel said
”How did you end up with Ivery and Lutris?” Yannel asked her with a raised eyebrow
”At an inn, Ivery witnessed my old group kick me out, they left me behind because they almost died because of me...” Danya answered
”You finally found a person who was willing to save your life even if you screwed up, even if you got that person into a bad situation...that person would still support you and do their best to help you grow, a person willing to put their life on the line to protect yours, Ivery is that person and all you had to do was be grateful that you even made it this far thanks to her.” Yannel sighed
”You came with Ivery and Lutris on this journey to Yusveil under your own volition, she didn't force you to come at all, and without Ivery's carriage, we wouldn't have gotten any proper rest at all.....Lutris and Ivery didn't complain once about being tired...but it's clear as day that they're just as tired as we are....they are incredibly strong but they're still human Danya...” Yannel shook his head with disappointment
”So you can either stay here or follow behind....it makes no difference to us anymore.” Yannel turned around and walked off
Danya wanted to cry, she had made many mistakes in her life but this mistake had to be the worst mistake she's ever made so far...
She didn't know what she had to do to make it up to Ivery....if only she hadn't opened up her big mouth and said anything then she wouldn't be in this situation...
Danya wished that all of this was a nightmare that she was having after passing out from exhaustion. She pinched herself and sadly...it was all real...
She shamefully walked in the direction Ivery, Luther and Yannel were heading, she purposely lagged behind...not having the courage to walk with alongside them anymore...
She desperately wished that she could rewind time and undo what she had did...
But something like that would never happen...so she had to live with her mistake.
