Chapter 300 - The Ark Of Slayer Vs Butterfly (1/2)

”Mavislin!” yelled Bryan, catching the Valkyrie.

Her left arm had completely fallen off while she clung onto Bryan's shoulder with her remaining arm. Just like with Ysabeau's training, she risked her life to protect him once more. This time, it was severe. He didn't know if she could make it.

The buŧŧerfly girl was shocked as well, as she did not expect the Valkyrie to jump in. If she had such a speed, she would've gone for Rie's neck instead. The Valkyrie should have a proper counter to negate her Stage Five but she used that chance to protect her underling.

The choice to protect another's life while using your own is not an easy choice to make. But this Valkyrie threw that thought away in a blink of an eye. Without a moment's hesitation. The Valkyrie... Chose to protect the vulnerable one.

Her mind whirled as she reminisced her hurtful past. Where her parents tossed her out at a tender age just because she was born different. If only she had such a kind brother to defend her, she wouldn't have gotten so much hate.

Anger and sadness swarmed her heart as she remained silent, looking at the duo. Why was she that hated? Why was she hated by life itself? Rie looked at Bryan as he kept calling Mavislin to wake up. There was something awfully familiar about this man, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

She gently shook her head as she prepared to stab his open back. However, her spear halted in mid-air. Gripping onto the weapon, Bryan was livid as his eyes struck terror and fear into Rie's body. With another pull, he managed to fling the Flower Mage away.

She landed easily but was still in shock as she looked at her spear. The power of his grip was strong enough to dent the spear. If he continued, he would have broken it.

”You are going to regret pissing me off. I won't end your life. I will make you end it yourself,” threatened Bryan as his eyes pierced a hole right through her head.

”Oh... I'm so scared. You may be in the Arks, but I can tell that you are still human. Just born with powers. Your physical limits are nothing compared to me,” said Rie, scoffing at the man.

”We'll see about that. Don't underestimate me, I am the Barren Pillars' Slayer. And I will live up to my title,” replied Bryan, with the intent to kill.
