18 The Danger of Ignorance (2/2)

The Chancellor chanted a spell right after that not giving Clay the time to retort and make fun of him. He listened to the incantation and memorized it. That was Clay, stealing spells from others. However, as it were too chuunibyou, I'll never be able to use this in public, but I might as well just take it. He thought.

”Be as the heavens halberd, become the blade that culls the enemy in front of me, Excalibur!] The Chancellor chanted the highest-level light magic towards Clay. Seeing him smiling with that disgusting face of his, Clay felt disgusted. He probably intends to include the Princess and Clay; it's a good tactic as a desperate move in a desperate situation. Who would've thought right? That instead of being able to further his plans, he would be faced with an obstacle that not only ended his plans, but also ended his life.

*Shing*

Clay was not having a ”reckless” moment, so he moved at full speed and got out of the way. He took Giselle with him and moved away from the Chancellor. And then,

The bright light from the spell xcalibur> flooded the place and for but a moment blinded Clay as his eyes automatically healed itself and recovered his eyesight. However, that moment decided someone's fate. Clay felt his body being pierced by something. A large gap was made on his left side, while Giselle, whom he was carrying dropped down as well. He noticed his left arm was taken as well. Blood gushing out of it for a second before stopping.

*Thud*

Time flowed back to normal and Giselle grunted. She was unconscious. It seemed that she was hit by the spell as well. Although he can't check right now because his body was also falling. He could hear the Chancellor laughing wildly and triumphantly shouting. Boasting about the spell he just released. It was a spell of the highest grade that he could dish out. It had a homing function to it and Clay did not know this. And so, he failed to get out of its way and even included Giselle to the list of victims. He did not know if Giselle was alive or dead. He was concerned but that was the last of his concerns. He still had to worry about his life ending because of this prick. So, he stood up, ignoring the pain that he was feeling.

”H-H-How!? How can you still stand you monster! You should already be dead! I killed you already!” Hysteria flooded the mind of the Chancellor. It was to the point that his voice already lost power and only air escaped his mouth.

Clay did not bother to answer. He just wanted to end this man right now. He wanted to get the hell out of here, escaping the crime-scene. He moved with his full strength at this moment and took the head of the Chancellor off his neck. It was an instant. There were no resistances. It was as if picking a piece of pebble on the roadside and tossing it aside uninterestedly. That was how Clay ended the life of the Chancellor as well as his plans and schemes. Without idling, Clay escaped from the balcony of Giselle's room and ran with his full strength. His speed slowed down a little, but it still made the world seem like it slowed down. He escaped towards the north. To the unknown.

On that Hall where Clay just left.

Giselle woke up with pain assaulting her body. It was pain from having a hole in her two legs. If it were lined up together, then one would be able to observe that this hole was made from the same source. The pain was unbearable, but Giselle knew that she had to escape this place. She looked around for Clay but found that he was already gone. The Chancellor was dead, and his head was like a piece of rubble on the sides staring at nothing. Not even able to close his eyes as he died. Giselle remembered what happened before she lost consciousness. The Chancellor had chanted the spell xcalibur> and aimed at Clay. She knew that this spell was a homing piercer and did not worry for her safety. However, Clay did not know that and took her with him to escape the Chancellor's attack. That was the source of her misfortune. Giselle regretted it, but it was not good to blame Clay for it. She had to worry about those things later, as she knew that if she stayed there, she would only suffer some more as she losses more blood and may even die.
