31 The Arrival (2/2)

Ronan and his remaining teammates looked at the direction the voice coming to see a woman in a white dress slowly walked towards them from the dark forest, Ronan couldn't clearly see the face of the woman but he could vaguely see her slightly pointy ears and a silver sword in her hands.

Arya was now sitting on the ground near the woman that came out of the forest, she could see the woman gazing at her and her teacher and turned to look at Ronan.

Seeing the woman alone made Ronan a little relaxed but before he breathed a sigh another figure came forward and stood beside the woman, the person was holding a bow and aiming at the old man.

Rina was a long distant combat mage so she tried to cast a spell using the darkness as a cover however a pointy metal touched her back of the head making her stop casting the spell.

”Who are you woman? What do you want?” Ronan didn't show his fear or anger in his voice because he knew the odds were stacked against him also he didn't want to use his life-saving item yet.

”Let us go and we'll forget everything that happened” Ronan said.

”What do I want? Not much just your life” the woman started to move towards him while her sword let out bright light, just as Ronan took out his spear from his back to fight.

Everyone stood still except the woman and Ronan who were fighting with all their might but the others could see the woman getting the upper hand of the battle, they had never seen such sword skills from anyone.

”Ah!” the woman made a deep cut on Ronan's shoulder, she was breaking his defense and cutting him as the time went by, Ronan realized he couldn't win the battle as he received another kick to his gut from the woman and when he held his gut with one hand, the back of her sword hit his face and made him fall to the ground, blood was flowing through his wounds and nose.

”Ronan” Rina and the old man shouted when they saw Ronan fall on the ground however after a second a weird smile appeared on Ronan's face and he decided to use his item after all.

”Good very good, you are the one who made me use this bitch”

As he said he took something out of his pockets and swallowed it, the woman stepped towards him to attack but a force field around Ronan stopped her from attacking.

”He...he's breaking through” Arya mumbled when she saw the light around Ronan's body, the magical fluctuations around his body were rocketing as Ronan let out a laugh like a mad man.

”Hahaha, the effects of the crimson pill are truly magnificent although it only lasts for thirty minutes it's more than enough time to deal with you all! Bitch, you are very lucky to die on the hands of the great master”

”Haha, Ronan I knew you had something” the old man laughed seeing Ronan moving towards the woman to attack.

Ronan didn't mind the old man as he started to slash and stab at the woman using his spear, the woman dodged and evaded most of his attacks but he could see the woman getting exhausted and tired as his attacks started to land on her.

”Oh, I'm going to enjoy killing you” Ronan devilishly smiled and started to attack her aggressively.

The woman tried her best to dodge his attacks but finally, Ronan landed a big hit on her that made her body flew away a few feet and land beside Arya.

Arya wanted to help the woman but suddenly the detector started to flicker

as well as made the weird sound again. Seeing this Ronan halted his movements and stared at the device.

At that moment a thunderous roar came from above him.

Despite his injuries, Benedict looked at the device with excitement and teary eyes then looked at the direction of where the device pointed towards however he didn't need to look further as a majestic winged lion descended on the ground between the woman in white and Ronan.

”It's...It's the energy it's coming from it” Arya stuttered seeing the winged Lion.

”You dumb idiot” only a three simple words came from Lion's mouth yet that made everyone around it tremble in fear because only a grandmaster beast can actually talk like a human, Ronan's initial evil sile faded away as he began to shiver before the Lion who was now slowly stepping towards him as the lion's body got bigger and bigger and matched Ronan's height.

Seeing the terrifying winged Lion, Ronan's heart started to beat faster and his body became stiff due to the overwhelming fear.

”You don't give all the details about an item you use in the battle to your opponent, idiot ”

”Wha” but before Ronan could reply to the Lion, others around him saw the lion's front paw slapping Ronan's face and make his head rotate for a moment.

And finally, his head stopped rotating after a moment as his lifeless body hit the ground.
