27 Deadly Blow (1/2)
”Grandpaaa!!” Faust is scared to his wits while clutching Bella tight and witnessing his grandpa getting slashed right in front of his eyes.
”Faust, why are you still here? Just run back to the village. I'm alright!” Gus shouts as he grits his teeth while holding his left shoulder tight, hoping to stop the bleeding while he was down, kneeling on one of his knees.
Bella is bigger than Faust, he is not able to carry her and he is worried if Bella's wounds will tear open more if he dragged her to village. And his grandpa is fighting on the thin thread of life and death with the wolves, Faust doesn't know what to do at all. His head is spinning and he is in anxiety breakdown.
*”Dammit! I was careless, the claw reached deep and cut down my tendons, I can't use my left arm anymore and there are 13 wolves standing in front of me”* Gus muddled to himself while taking deep breaths to calm himself. *”If only I have any enhancements with me right now aghhhh”* Gus stressfully thinks and gets up on both of his feet, grabs the wooden sword tightly getting ready to fight to death with the wolves. As his chances of slipping were reduced to none.
Enhancements that Gus wish he had with him are the elemental stones of different attribute. Each stone here have its own element hidden within them. Humans started using these elemental stones to enhance their physical properties greatly at the time of wars.
The elemental stones were used until now are a red stone which looks like a garnet that consists bombarding nature hidden within it. The red stone can help the user to release fire power from small to large merging with the spiritual power the warrior has.
And the green stone that looks like a sapphire gem. The green stone contains the air element within it, any user can manipulate the air to their comfort and produce strong winds or gusts. It can also help in enhancing arrows, spears, cross bows and javelins making the tool travel fast with the aid from air.
Also, the purple stone, looks like a purple ruby which can call thunders and lighting in a second. In addition there are more stones which no one had learnt about yet. And these elemental stones when equipped to a weapon which was made specially for you is called enhancements. That Gus wished for.
On the side of Faust, he seems to be overwhelmed by his emotions.
*”Coward, stupid body, coward heart. I'm the most useless thing ever. I let Bella get hurt and now grandpa too. I should have listened to Tim, why did I ever come here in the first place?*
*why was I so stupid and scared for my life? Why can't I just be brave enough to save people?* Faust questions himself repeatedly and cries over how frantic he was.
