Chapter 271: Clash (3) (1/2)
”[Goblin] Galina, quickly focus your healing on Roas! He is wounded!”
A fierce roar yelled out, startling the tall, girl that stood closest to Aiden, behind the heated frontline.
A fierce roar reverberated, shaking the poor dark-green-skinned girl who stood at the back, focused on the ongoing clash between his friends, his master's other servants, and these strange, haunted-looking armored orcs.
His master's agitated shout, however, awoke her from her trance. Shaking her head, she turned to look at him, only to see his young master's figure suddenly vanish from even her sight, and reappear between the falling Roas and his ax-wielding opponent.
She only saw her young master's blurred outline before the robust berserker was helplessly thrown back crashing into one of the pesky archers at the back. She was shocked at this sight but was quickly shaken when another fierce roar reverberated the hallway.
”[Goblin] GALINA! DO IT! MOVE! NOW!”
Immediately, she rushed forward, closer to the tall orc that was already lying on the ground, desperately holding a deep, gushing wound on his right side. She extended her hands, holding them above the wounded area, and closed her eyes. She focused on her own mana, activating it, guiding its flow towards her extended palms.
Her hands began to glow in a wonderful light green shimmer. A soothing warmth spreading out from her palms, the terrible pain Roas felt soon started to fade. The calming sensation continued to enter his body, relaxing his tense muscles. The pained expression on his face began to cool, replaced by a faint smile as he looked at the young master that came to his aid.
”[Orc] Master… I'm sorry, I wasn't strong enough…” He coughed, struggling to formulate any words. Still, he wanted to tell his young master that he was grateful. That he was glad he could serve him. That it was okay if he would fall because he knew that he would take revenge in his stead.
However, before he could tell any of that, he was silenced. A kind, friendly smile donning his face, Aiden put his index finger on his first servant's lips, turning him silent instantly.
”[Orc] Don't speak, my friend. Rest. You fought well, don't worry. We will handle the rest of this rabble.”
Weariness soon overpowered his senses, Roas felt the heaviness of his eyelids. He wanted to respond, he wanted to reach out to the young master, but before he could do so, darkness shrouded his senses, his consciousness escaped from his grasp…
”[Goblin] Try to heal him as much as you can. I will help the guys finish this.” Aiden stood up, addressing the frightened little Galina with his cold, rigid tone. Although the tone was not aimed at her, but at the enemy, he was unable to properly reign in his emotions.
He glanced at his system, where the notifications kept appearing.
[Warning! Minion: Roas suffered heavy damage! His current condition: 58%]
[Warning! Minion: Roas is bleeding, his condition is deteriorating! His current condition: 48%]
The messages kept coming, starting to annoy Aiden, as in the midsts of the constant ringing in his mind, he found it harder and harder to concentrate. The continuous stream of bells and the flashes at the corner of his eyes were getting on his agitated nerves. He was getting closer and closer to explode and enter into a crazed frenzy when suddenly a startling change occurred.
The notifications suddenly didn't give any more sound, the flashes were somehow deactivated. His system suddenly turned silent, as if a new, or at the very least, previously unexplored feature was activated. For a fraction of a second, he felt a familiar presence showing itself… His angered frown turned into a shocked gasp, but before he could call out, the presence vanished.
Shaking his head, he cleared his mind, pulling himself back to the battle ahead.
