”What is this?”
Tacrio was about to reach forheart However, his sharp nailsdid not pierce the chanted armor above my skin, but instead pressed on a round object on my left chest
”” I was too weak to answer
”This is… Gaia's Shell!” He examined my aret this?!”
”Mine!” He started to rehtning”
My body was in turbulence due to Tacrio's fuer on rasp, fell The blade made a 'puff' sound and penetrated into the soil
Tacrio's eyes laid upon the dagger then was fixed there He let go of round
”Vampiric Touch… it's the actual Vampiric Touch… one of the two ancient Great Vampire chief's hand-held blades…” He carefully wiped the dirt off dagger hilt and kissed the geer hilt with his face and said tearfully, ”YOU! Where did you get this?”
My last weapon was gone I looked at hi
”Mine!” Tacrio pocketed the dagger without a second thought, only to find his cloak ragged and full of holes Distressed, he then bitterly placed the blade on the ground beside him
The Vaers away, but I was not even able of the capabilities to ers
”You ratelse!” His look scanned over lar in a treasure cave, ”I just know it! You can't fool me! Yes! I know!”
”HAHAHAHA! Dragon Pendant! Oh gosh!+ Ice Tear Gems!” Tacrio screamed aloud like a madman
He pulled off the pendant on h volume, and then suddenly slapped me in the face!
”YOU DUNCE!” He yelled at on Pendant!”
The unexpected slapping th, ”What… what's wrong with that?”
”It's wrong! Not only are you wrong, what a tremendous mistake you've ical artifacts this way! Unforgivable! UNFORGIVABLE! These are mine!”
It looked like this Tario was indeed a guy who had a tight clutch on treasures He put away the pendant while his gaze traveled around and onto a blue ribbon tied atop my chest
It had originated when Winslet had once sawinto a plain sack Afterwards, she sewed a rather delicate-looking pouch for it with the Rohna sisters
”Eudeh the ribbon is rather good!”
”Mine!” He pulled with force, ”You won't need it anyway”
I disregarded the pouch when I was still young, thus I frequently took it off After Winslet's arguing proved to be useless, they had added a new function for it, which was the ability to prevent it to be taken off ofhad hatched
”What's going on!” Tacrio failed to untie the pocket and became rather impatient He fetched his QUAKE hammer and slammed on it
I felt a burst of i did not crack However, a cool sensation e had flowed into s The areas it passed were relieved of lightning spell repercussions like weakness and numbness in the body
Though I had no idea as the reason for this phenomenon, it was crystal clear that this was my only chance to have a co a few lare at him
Tacrio's failure to destroy the egg had htly disoriented Probably because he had feltlook to be disrespectful, he ha one more time
Perhaps this was the uy had been fooled by his own intellect Tacrio had always been a calarded the bunch of my treasures
He did not know that the egg'smy wounds as he smashed down on it
The y accuers to test the current state of my body and felt that it was sufficient However, I was not sure if the power I had built up was enough to hold er I needed so
”Hold it” I said, ”I… can take… it off”
”DO IT!” Tacrio's hand was raised high and was about to give the egg one more hit He answered impatiently
”That is… that…” I roeaker As an honorable Earl, he would not bend his back to listen
As expected, the vaed me up by the hair, ”Louder! Ah…”
The very er and instantly pushed it into his chest The sharp blade did not requireonly the hilt above his skin What surprised inated froer
”AHHHHH!” Tacrio's facial muscles twitched while he screa rapidly, which rimmer
The dagger I was holding was drawing out his power! Was this the special ability of the Vampiric Touch? So to say, I should be able to restore th quickly I would definitely win!
”Hey… hey” I grinned, ”You are a dead man I am the victor!”
”Die… together!” Tacrio slurred, ”Dia… blo… wra…”
damn! I was too carried away to ree Such people usually had a final killer punch
”NOOOOO!” I scurried to seal hisI will not let you finish!+
I had a victorious laugh as I watched Tacrio'sact
But, the s me noticed as in his eyes The unusual twinkle in the, ”You have been fooled”
Pain eed from my chest I lowered ht on ed on the ain
His physical condition would definitely allowthe hammer, but I was too scared by the nonsense he would spout
”If I'” Tacrio said on and off, ”You aren't either!”
”bitch!” I cursed
”You… same!” he replied
The currents on the harew ever so thick and quick A white spot shone on the haht radiated on the hammer A fierce blast erupted between the two of us
”Wake up…”
What is this place? What… happened to me?
”Wake up…”
Who is it? Who's calling me? Quiet, I'm exhausted
”WAKE UP, DUMBass!”
A unresistable willpower cah and made me conscious
The first thing was to open my eyes, but no eyes The second was to touch my head, however, no head
No way Could it be… I went off again?
”Not dead yet, but close enough” A long-lost decorous voice sounded out
”Marshmallow!” I was overjoyed, ”Was that you? I kneas you!”
”I told you not to call me that name!”
”Marsh,tiain, ”By the way, that… my body, how is it?”
”You wanna know? Your body was stricken by electric currents and beca similar to a roasted duck in your life on earth” Obviously, Marsh knew there was no use talking in a serious tone, thus she made herself sound funny, ”Crispy skin and tender inside, definitely aout…”
”Enough!” What poor taste, ”Did you have to choose the commercial punch lines from my memories! Creativity, dumbass! Cheaper quality is not for me!”
