129 Bloodbath Part 2 (2/2)

As soon as my I spot a wizard ready to take out Sung Li with an attack, I make them rush over to those wizards and hitting them with speed fast enough to do as much as damage as arrows would. Sung Li, in his anger, does not even notice and continues to slash through the wizards. The Cyclops then stops gawking and start attacking Sung Li as I am nowhere to be found. That is when 5-6 Cyclops that had stopped a little away from the ground I had turned into my weapon step on that area and I use my ability to take care of their feet. They start crying in agony, drawing all attention and giving me enough time to get into the forest.

The wizards start following me but once I change my appearance back to normal, I become able to run through the forest much better than they can with their robes on.

This way, I find myself in a position where I just have to lose the trail of these wizards and I would be safe. At the same time, Sung Li would be dying a very worthless death back then. What else can I expect when I abandoned him?

I am sure those are the thoughts that are running through the heads of those wizards chasing me.

In my rush to get away from them, I trip over an overgrown root of a tree and fall. I try my best to get back up but because of the rush, I end up falling again and they catch up to me.

”Well, look what do we have here?” One of the wizards says.

I roll over and get my back on a tree as I look at them.

”Abandoning your friend wasn't such a bad idea. Too bad you still couldn't escape.” As if mocking me, the wizard says so.

”…” When I don't reply though, he sighs and asks,

”Any last words before we kill you?” He and others who were following me have their spell ready and I can't escape even if I want to. So, they are confidently asking that.

”If you are going to give the chance, then tell me something.” I ask. ”I was never able to steal an important piece of information from you guys. I couldn't find out what you call this ability that allows one to change their appearance.”

Listening to that, the wizard sighs and answers, ”It's called Image.”

”I see.” I say – and smile, ”Thanks! Now die!”

Sharp rocks in the shape of needles come out of the ground and attack all of them. They all fall back and their spells fail. The needles don't stop there though. By penetrating their hearts, they make sure to finish them; I make sure to finish them.

Did those idiots actually think I was going to abandon Sung Li and run off? Did they actually think I just 'happened' to trip and fall just now? Did they actually think they would win?

Don't make me laugh!
