236 Dark Brotherhoods Wild Card (1/2)

Drake asked me the location of the others and I told him where they are. Some of his fellow Dragoons tried to heal me but I have severe injuries that it takes time to heal itself. For now, I need to go somewhere to rest. Zofie canceled the aura because maintaining it gives burden to my body. Drake left his army to take care of the remaining forces.

”Your body is not in a good condition. Please log out of the game soon. Game addiction is good but we don't tolerate it.” Pfft... a window showed up in front of me showing a warning and it kinda made me giggle.

”Sure sure,” I just said while looking for a safe place. Wait... safe place...

I rushed towards the location of the tavern where we asked for information. I slowly walked around avoiding some guards roaming around. I finally reached the area and somehow, there's no people or guards at all.

I went straight ahead and upon entering, there's the tavern keeper wiping the things all over the place. Explosions around the city make small tremors that shake the things inside the tavern.

”Hello there again, valued customer. Do you need food, water, or shelter? I've got all the things you need.” He said welcoming me. I saw the place and there's a lot of shattered ceramics all over the place.

”Thank you. I need a safe room to stay and please prepare something to eat and drink. I will rest for at least ten to twenty minutes. I can't fight with a tired body and an empty stomach.” I replied.

”Don't worry. I'll get it prepared soon. Just choose a room upstairs and I will put the food and drink on the table. Get your energy back because you need it.” He said and thankfully this guy values his customers.

I went up ahead and just went straight to bed to log out.

-Order of Light West Gate-

(Scy's POV)

*BAAAAAAAM!*

Ugh! This guy that knocked me out last time is still as formidable as the first time I saw him. He's only using hand to hand combat but you can't find any openings. I can't also use any spells because my mana is not even doing well either and I can't escape when I'm in a pinch.

Both Osia and Shella are defending from the assassins around and I can tell that they are doing fine even if they're outnumbered. Shella, despite being a spellcaster, moves so fast with that slippery skin. Osia's defensive ice spells also are tough enough to protect herself from the attackers. Shiv, on the other hand, is just walking around looking for an opening.

”What's wrong? You stopped moving suddenly. Are you tired?” This huge man is such a pain. Why him again of all people. I'm not but I'm just trying to calculate things. Buying time is not good because while I save mana, Shella and Osia are spending a lot trying to save themselves.

”If you want a hand to hand combat, then I will show you what I've got,” I said preparing to make a move.

I tried to land a punch to test his evasive skills but...

*BAAAAAM!* Our fists collided making a powerful shockwave! Oh, crap that hurt! Without my protective gloves, that would have shattered my fingers! I chose the wrong fighting style against a pro melee!

He's preparing to land another punch! I need to counter! I jumped in midair evading his attack and tried to unleash a spinning kick towards his face!

*BLOCK*

He successfully blocked my attack with his other arm! Even with my speed, I can't land a hit! I pulled my foot back and jumped back by kicking his arm.

”Not bad kid. But I think you can do better than that. Now, I'll make sure that you'll never escape from me.” He started changing fighting stance. From fists, he opened up his fingers wide and also spread his feet.

Uhmmm that is too obvious... he's aiming to grab me when I get near him and I'm pretty sure he'll just swing me around and smash me to the ground. That would not be a good experience and I would never allow myself to be in that situa...

Eh?! Where did he come from?! He was able to reach me in just a blink of an eye and grabbed my shoulder with his right arm! Suddenly... I lost my balance and he did something with my foot!

”Oh come on! Ugh!” I blurted out after falling to the ground with massive force while he's still grabbing my shoulder. Somehow... my shield protected my back from the impact but wait...

”How about this!” He's preparing to smash my head with his fist! This is pretty bad! Hey, Shade! Do something, damn it!

*BOOOOOOM*

His power shattered the ground leaving cracks and massive hole. He's insane! I used Shade's passive ability and his hand just pass right through my head.

”What the?!” He said surprised. I rolled back escaping from his range. That was so close. Dying with a shattered head wouldn't be cool at all. I'm ugly enough to have that kind of appearance.

”Annoying bastard!” He once again showed up in front of me and tried to land a frontal attack but... his hand just passed through my body.
