Chapter 193: [Bonus chapter] A Worthy Rage (2/2)
That instantly drove hi him up in a cold instant The red in his vision sapped away
Aldrich's st was frozen midway in the air He looked down He and Volantis were in a deep, molten red crater Volantis was knocked out, his white eye dot turned o
Thea ork of vein- like red y channels that formed a 'body' that Volantis used to operate himself
Volantis had probably sustained too o
Aldrich's [Burning Agony] turned o, all of his esh burned o by now He felt his head clear He reached down and slung Volantis over the bare skeleton of his shoulder "Sorry, Volantis," whispered Aldrich as he carried the armor out of the tunnel he had punched out Outside, everyone aiting "Congratulations on your victory, Death Walker!" proclailee "I always knew there was a beast festering within you, locked up and gorging on all that negative energy of yours, but I did not expect that it had suchferocity to it
I do wonder how er you will be when you ta their faintly purple hue to glisten "Healing" Aldrich ignored the Death Lord and gently placed Volantis down "On it!" said Wai'ki as she shi+fted her way over to Volantis's side "Oh, why did you take all those hits, Vol? It was cool, but Med is right - it was also dumb" "Not at all!" Volantis suddenly roared, his white eye dot co back to life "Eep!" Wai'ki yelped as she scrambled backwards at Volantis's sudden reani position with shaky araping melted hole in his chest
Everyone stared at Volantis with surprise By all rights, Volantis should have been coed to stand just like that "What?" Volantis looked around "None of you have seen the spirit of an orc, I see! That is our way - we stand down to only three things: time, death, and a worthy leader! And there is no rust on my armor nor is death ready to reap my soul"
Volantis turned to Aldrich and fell down to a knee "But there is a worthy leader before me" "I appreciate it, Volantis," said Aldrich "But you shaking like that while you say all this isn't very convincing Wai'ki, can you treat hi in battle Even in the end, upon that hill of swords, I died standing I am not proud of the monster I became by that point, but I ahed "But I suppose it is tiht, Arth I have seen hardly the likes of! It rivals the likes of the Archdemons of Carnasus, the demon God of war hie of my moves I can shape re, too, but alas, I was taken by surprise and struck down before I even realized!" "" Aldrich did not knohether to take that as a co control like that Whenever he fought, it was not with crazed bloodlust
Vengeance, yes, but not berserk rage Every time he struck a hit, it was alith purpose
This felt senseless "Master, are you alright?" said Valera as she ca everyone here had sensed solanced at her red eyes He wondered how she was able to keep such a r else
He wanted to learn, because there was no doubt about it that [Burning Agony] was an extremely powerful trump card for Aldrich
But if Aldrich could not wield it with a cool head, it becaood as new! So just sit still!" said Wai'ki as she sat on her knees and guided her sta over the hole in Volantis's chest She closed her eyes, her deer ears uttering as she channeled y An aura of blue swirled around her in leafy patterns "[- - - ,- - - , - - - - -]" Wai'ki chanted the Ancestral Tongue, and as she did so, her y coalesced into a small cloud of blue butteries that landed on Volantis's wound The butteries e up "Ahh, I feel as good as new already!" said Volantis "The healing has barely started You still have a massive hole in your chest," remarked Medula in matter-of-fact tone "A hole that serves as a reht of my Armored What better reminder could there be?" said Volantis "I-" Medula stopped herself and shrugged "Yes Whatever works for you I should not try to understand all this warrior spirit nonsense" "Youthat makes the heart beat and the soul thunder so Your demonic brethren under Carnasus knew this well" "The spawn of Carnasus are a barbaric, brutish horde of abo to do with The amount of mindless blood shed and time wasted on their end sickensaway o to the side "Hm, she is as prickly as I remember," said Volantis "But no matter This is a cause for celebration!
When a warmaster like myself accepts a warfather, custo for three days" "I would like to, Volantis," said Aldrich "But there isn't enough time I need you to stay out of the Nexus and act as ain That way, nobody will suspect my disappearance even if they somehow check on et that there is always so to do Will I be alone out in that pit?" "Unfortunately, yes," said Aldrich "Unfortunately? Do not use that term," said Volantis "Under a capable warfather, there is no such thing as 'un-fortune' Solitude is so I am used to I will keep watch, Armored" "You do not have to," said the Death Lord "Once Wai'ki is done channeling her healing, she can cast potent illusion ic to craft a copy of you I doubt any h it
As for this feast of yours, I nd it an interesting idea I shall arrange for it" "I have to clear the Trial Quests-," began Aldrich "Death Walker, you have an eternity to spend Do try to enjoy it some, or else you will nd yourself quite bored That is, if you do not get yourself killed rst
Come, ith me a little," said the Death Lord
Aldrich peered over to Valera She stared at the Death Lord with suspicious eyes "It'll be just for awhat I was feeling" "Then I will allow it And you do not have to thank me, master Always, I will try my best for you To understand you," said Valera
Aldrich nodded and walked over to the Death Lord As he trailed behind her, he asked, "So, what is it?" "You are harboring so within your soul, are you not? Within your
Phylactery?" said the Death Lord She drew a breath fro around her lips "I sensed it the moment you stepped foot in this realm"
The Chrysalis "Yes What about it? said Aldrich
The Death Lord cocked her head, her brows furrowing in thought Shein her head for a few seconds before nodding to herself "I can help you hatch it"
