Vol. 6 Chapter 1 Part 4

Eline dodged the repeated attacks.

Wilhelm was an upper cla.s.s Chosen One. It seemed impossible, but it was as if Eline knew what his next moves were. Elines face remained calm and composed.

I believe your spear isLegendgrade, possiblyMythology grade. Id love to have it in my collection.

Shut up!!

Wilhelms attacks became more heated. He didnt skip a beat with his repeated strikes. Youd think that one hit would be able to pulverize a king cla.s.s Skull Face.

Yet it was no match against Elines Exvaine, or Eline himself. The fighter and the weapon that Wilhelm faced were the real deal.

Youre as good as Id heard. I wish that I had a little more speed on me. Thats the one weakness when it comes to equipping Exvaine.

Why, you little!!

It was frustrating how Eline wasnt fully invested in the combat.

Wilhelm had to switch tactics. Rather than waste energy on the repeated blows, he had to take a single shot. He stepped back to squeeze more power into his hands that held Venom. However, this caused him to stop moving momentarily.

Eline did not miss this chance.

He went from defense mode to attack mode, thrusting Exvaine.

Gah!!

Wilhelm brought Venom in front of him to take the red blade on.

The sheer ma.s.s of it took Wilhelm by surprise. He had not antic.i.p.ated its weight, having seen Eline lift it so easily. Regardless of what Eline had said about his own speed, he was faster and more agile than Wilhelm.

Wilhelm took some damage.

He was blown back and slammed against the wall. He could feel the air being forced out of his lungs, as he let out a yelp.

Venom had saved Wilhelm by intercepting the thrust of his savage opponent. Still, the damage was sufficient to make Wilhelm drop Venom.

Venom lay there, with a crack in the center after clas.h.i.+ng with the mighty Exvaine.

Oh dear. After looking around, I thought Id finally found something that I liked. Now its damaged goods. I should have known it with a strong opponent like you.

Eline looked down at the item and shook his head after heaving a sigh.

Maybe he was preoccupied with the weapon, but he didnt seem to have a care in the world for Wilhelm, who was pus.h.i.+ng the rubble off of himself.

Grr.

Oh. Youre fine the way you were. This spear is no good to me.

Whyare you here?

My client was looking for someone.

Looking for?

Yes. But we found the child. Oh, was this off record? My bad. Its fine though, my role here is done.

Eline answered Wilhelm cheerfully.

Wilhelm wondered if there was something wrong with the man standing there.

I have to go now or I could get into trouble. Id be happy if you could get your spear fixed, by the way.

Why dont you tell me where youre going too.

Sure. Were headed to the church headquarter. Please come if you want. My name is Eline Sperizer. You should remember that.

Then Eline turned and left.

No one could ever forget his grin of pure evil.

F-f.u.c.k!

Eline disappeared, and Wilhelm groaned as he clutched his left abdomen in pain.

He knew that he had cracked a few ribs. On top of that, the fight had taken a tremendous toll on his body.

Wilhelm had fought quite a few battles until now, and he was in shock. He had only taken one hit, yet, he was in considerable agony.

Perhaps Eline was that skilled of a fighter, or his weapon was truly that potent. Regardless, that weapon was not normal.

Ras.h.i.+a

He forced himself to step foot in the church.

Thoria should not be here today. Then it had to be Ras.h.i.+a who faced Eline.

!?

He could smell the damp iron of blood. It was an eerie feeling for the scent to be wafting inside a house of G.o.d.

Wilhelm looked about frantically, before his eyes rested on Ras.h.i.+a on the floor, her back in a pool of blood.

This was enough to make him forget his own wounds.

Ras.h.i.+a!! No, Ras.h.i.+a!! Wake up!!

Wi

Ras.h.i.+a was barely conscious, as she feebly called his name.

Please! Take this!!

He took out a card from his Item Box.

It was a cla.s.s 5 Potion the highest-cla.s.s antidote that Wilhelm had ever possessed. This should do the trick, even for wound like hers.

No! Why?!

He had given the potion to her. Yet, the wound was not healing itself.

Wilhelm had not known. There was a restriction depending on the potion cla.s.s. A cla.s.s 5 Potion was only as effective as the healing abilities of the person in need of healing. Only at a cla.s.s 4 Potion or higher could an item heal a wound and enhance a persons vitality.

That level of recovery item was not available in any of the nearby markets. It was rare to even see a cla.s.s 5 Potion; the recovery item Wilhelm had.

d.a.m.n it!!

Wilhelm could see that it was of no use. He immediately reached for the message card in his Item Box. There wasnt enough time to spare not even to write to another for help.

He wrote to s.h.i.+n that Ras.h.i.+a was stabbed.

She had very little time left in this world.

Wilhelm couldnt help her. All he could do was pray to G.o.d that hed get a response, and to try to stop the bleeding.

Wil

I asked s.h.i.+n for help. Just hold out a little longer.

Ras.h.i.+a didnt respond. She squeezed his hand and could barely get the words out.

Imsorry

Why.

IcouldntsaveMillie

Im sorry. I couldnt save Millie.

She was losing consciousness as she repeated this over and over.

Wilhelm bit his lips.

He shouldnt have lost his composure. He should have focused. He knew what he was up against. It didnt help at all that he was hot in the head.

And he was even more helpless now.
