170 Bright Edge (2/2)
”Jeez... You really like to joke a lot. Oh, and just for the record, you're really heavy, you know.” We headed back to our guild after that.
-Life Guild-
We finally arrived at our guild. Wow. They really reinforced the place. The walls look sturdier this time and I can tell that they really put effort building this place.
”Scy you're back! Where have you been?” Leion asked Scy. He doesn't look happy too.
”Scy needs to rest for now. The investigation didn't really go well that's why he's in bad shape. We wanted to help the players too but it's too late now. They're losing. If we go there then it'll not change anything. We might get slaughtered there too and reduce our overall power. If that happens, we won't last if they come to our place next.” Elou explained.
”Sorry Leion, we can't help your brother for now. But we have to plan what we'll do next. For the meantime, please stay put and save your strength.” Scy replied to Leion.
”But Zia and the others are also there. Are we going to abandon our comrades?” Oh crap! I forgot about Zia!
”Damn it... Why didn't you guys tell me sooner?” Scy looked at us really worried. It's not like I didn't say it, it's just that I forgot... I was too focused on rescuing you.
”We know that you'll rush towards there to save her. That's why we didn't tell you. We will go there to save her and the others. You stay here and rest. Ok?” Elou explained. Yes, yes. That's really what I was thinking too.
”Jeez. Ok then, just go back as soon as you save them ok? Please be careful.” I hope Zia's still ok though. The war is almost a day now too.
”Akko, Lili and I will go there to save them. You guys stay put here and protect our guild. I hope all of them are alive. Let's go!” We headed out as fast as we can.
-Icy Plains, Near Vanguards Stronghold-
*Zia's POV*
There's no way I can get away this time, not to mention I also have this heavy sword that would definitely increase my falling speed. Oh, wait... my heavy useless stone sword! I decided to grab my sword at my back that I always carry. I forgot I have this sword because of the item I bought that it won't let me feel the burden of carrying heavy stuff. I thought I don't have it because of that.
*FLAAAAAAAAAP!* As I held the sword, my armor changed in an instant and wings popped out at my back! I tried to wave my wings and thank God it worked! I decelerated and finally hit the ground on my knees alive! I think this is what they call the ”Superhero Landing”! (Yes I watched Deadpool too. XD)
”Hey! Are you there? I just transformed you know...” Am I really trying to talk to my sword?
”Yow, what time is it?” Seriously? Why the heck a sword needs to know the time?
”Well, I think it's time to fight some monsters. Can I borrow your power for now?”
”Of course. What do you think I am for? Just use me as you will.” Wow, she doesn't actually try to be a bad mouthy this time.
”Alright then. Let's see what you've got! Here we go!” I readied myself to fly again. After that transformation, I felt so light!
*FLAAAAAAAP! SWOOOOOOSH!* I flapped my wings so fast that I accelerated dramatically! I flew upwards to stop the Dracotaur once again! I won't let you hurt my sister this time!
”Before I forgot. They call me the ”Bright Edge from the Stone” But you can call me whatever you like.” Who the heck even called you that if people's memories who tried to pull you out were lost? But I can say that Bright Edge doesn't sound bad at all. I need a weapon that can pierce his body easily!
”POOOOOF!” What the?! The sword transformed into a lance like the weapon of Drake after I tried to imagine it! Does this mean I can change my weapon at will? Well, I'll figure that out later. I have to attack him now!
”BRIGHT EDGE'S LUMINOUS PIERCE!” I finally reach the Dracotaur who's still trying to look for my Sis!
*BAAAAAAAAAM!* I hit the Dracotaur's chest with a fast piercing attack with light element! The lance pierced his hard scaled body but the light element was useless! I pulled it out and after that hit, the large wound I inflicted started to heal! This Dracotaur has unbelievable regeneration!
”Ugh! What was that?! It's you again! GRRRRR!” The Dracotaur didn't really felt my presence earlier. If I haven't attacked him earlier, maybe he won't notice that I am even here. He tried to bite me but I was able to get away fast. He's really durable than I thought. I did my best to pierce him but his defense is really tough! I need a better way of attacking him rather just trying to deal damage to him.
”You will pay for the lives of those you've hurt and killed! My blade of light shall taste dragon blood in this darkness!” I started to glow and the darkness that surrounds us started to disappear.
