Chapter 133 The Conviction 2 (1/2)

”Guards, stop him!!!” The king roared.

Genereal McGregor was holding a sword that he stole from a guard and launched right at me. I was in shock with the happenings that I wasn't able to react fast.

It happened so fast that only my eyes were keeping up but my body's movement felt slow. I see the guards ran towards the general, trying to stop his advance towards me.

But the general was a veteran fighter and a master in using a sword. The guards did not stood a chance against him. In a flash, the general was able to fight past against the guards that were trying to block his advance.

My head felt heavy and my heart was thumping rapidly.

'What will I do?' I thought in panic.

I can use my magic to stop the general from attacking me. But if I display my magic powers now, I am afraid I would be the next one to be persecuted just by having Atlantian blood.

I can sense the danger coming near me, my body was feeling very heavy. I am feeling the fear of losing my life at this moment.

When general McGregor was just a few feet away from me, I felt that time slowed down. My mind was racing fast but my body was heavy, stuck with the slow moving time around me.

'Is this what you feel when death is right in front of you?' I wondered. It was like time was in slow motion.

But I won't let him kill me now. He was the one that ordered his men to kill my mother and me. He succeded in killing my mother, I won't let him get the satisfaction of killing me as well.

I will kill him right now. I don't care if the secret about my magic will be exposed in front of this many people. I would kill him, the one that helped my step mother kill my mother.

I clenched my fist hard and ready myself to launch a magic attack, when time ran at a normal pace again.

Shadows flashed in front of me, three shadows in total. And to my surprise I see general McGregor stop in his tracks, just a few steps in front of me.

'Cough cough' General McGregor was coughing out blood.

”I never thought...someome could defeat me in speed and agility.” General McGregor said. ”Maybe it is true...cough... I am getting old.”

Around general McGregor are three people I know of. William, who was wearing his white knight's unifrom. Regaleon, who was wearing a dark gray attire. And the crown prince of Jennova, who was wearing a dark blue attire.

Their swords were sticking out the general's body, his blood was dripping on the floor.

”Hahaha...hahahaha!” General McGregor was laughing like a maniac. ”The young generation is quite promising...cough cough...at least I was able to die by the sword.”
