Chapter 148: Late (2/2)

”Sigh. Do what you want. Still thanks for helping me.” Eric was not an ungrateful person. He knew that if he kept fighting those two, it wouldn't end in a good way for him.

”You bastard!!” Leonard's enemy appeared again. This time much angrier, as if he was crazy.

”No time for chit-chat I see.” Both Eric and Edmund started fighting the two of them. Sadly, the man was using Leonard's two greatswords. Which are of a much higher quality than Edmund's weapon, a spear. Due to this, Edmund was forced to be on the defensive.

On the ground, Elizabeth and the others were doing their best to kill the monsters. But, the other cultivators were being in their way, stopping them from moving around so much. Oliver was also doing his best trying to shoot down flying monsters. His arrows were the fastest and strongest out of all the archers. He was especially adept at using Lightning magic. Yet little by little, they were being overwhelmed by the monsters. Disciples were being killed, soldiers as well. Many people were thinking of either deserting Avalon or joining Blood sect.

”Be careful, it's a Wyvern!” One of the disciples screamed. A Wyvern appeared in the sky, targeting those on the wall. Oliver jumped up in an incredible way and hit the wyvern with a bow as if he was using a club. The Wyvern spiraled to the ground, but Oliver didn't finish there. He sent a couple of elemental arrows, pinning it on the ground before killing it. He wasn't going to let anyone break through the walls. At least not those he could see.

Back on the castle grounds, Becky and Bella were struggling against a man. The man suddenly appeared and killed every one of the guards. Many butlers and maids fell on his hands as well.

”Miss Bella, please escape!” Becky knew she wasn't a match for the man. She could only hope that she can stall him enough for Bella to run away.

”She won't escape. She is my target after all.” Hearing his words, Becky lunged at him in an attempt to block him. However, the left side of her chest and stomach were blown away, causing her to fall down on the ground. Her mouth opened up trying to speak to Bella, but no sounds came out.

”Nooooo!” Seeing her in that state, Bella didn't think straight. She couldn't. She raised the Katana her brother made her and slashed at the man. Yet, even with her full power, she couldn't even make him budge. The man hit Bella in the stomach, hard, causing the air to escape her lung. Her body attempted to save her from the pain, causing her to faint. The man then disappeared from the scene, taking Bella with him.

A couple of seconds later, a man came flying from far away. His speed was extremely high, yet he was completely silent. No one could feel or see him. He didn't stop even though he could see a war going on. He went straight to the castle; crashing the walls as he entered, fear slowly taking over him. 'I'm too late again!' He was cursing himself but still didn't lose focus. He quickly made his way towards Becky.
