51 Visiting the dark forest 2 (2/2)

It was in that meadow that Francis promised that he will keep her safe as long as they lived.

Francis gripped his head. There was something that he was missing. It felt like there was a gap in his memory that he could not remember.

”This place..”

”Francis, how old are you when you died?” Helen asked.

He looked back to see Helen sitting on the ground. Compared to the first time, she seemed to have changed a little. He rough skin was starting to be smoother and her pimples where fading.

”29”

”Huh? but I heard about a famous researcher named Francis Rey when I was 40 years old. He was awarded with numerous awards.”

”he might be a different person.”He said.

”Oh really, the news said that he came from Kray academy, he graduated as king of research, with academic honors and as the only student who was awarded with Minx award for getting perfect scores from 1st year to fourth year.”

”oh, you must have been my stalker back then.”

”as if, I'm updated you know. I clearly remembered that you recieved an award at the age of 37”

”well, I dont remember.” he said non-chalantly.

[He must have been a sliver of Francis soul that was left on me, or maybe he was just someone that my subconscious created for me.] Helen thought.

Henry and Cheska seemed to be talking about somethings too. But Madel who was lying on the grass at the back had her eyes closed.

”We are under attack” Henry said calmly but was enough to get the attention of Francis and Helen.

Thirty man surrounded them. Henry and Cheska flicked their fingers and a sword materialized in their hand. Helen got a spear.

Madel was still sleeping soundly.

The bandits where in level 5 and 6. Where as Henry was at level 7. But with 30 opponent he will surely not prevail.

”give us the girls and you will all live”

” okay Francis you may go, just live us here” Henry said.

”are you stupid? I said girls!”

”I am girl, can't accept it? if you would not take me with you you can't take these girls away” he said with a sassy voice.

”Boss, I think he is a gay” one of the bandits whisphered.

”He is a gay? kill him.”

”tsk, wrong answer.”Henry smiled as he saw Madel waking up.

”Cheska raise a protection formation and secure Helen and Madel” Henry told her through telepathy.

Cheska immediately obeyed. Cheska instructed Helen and they both jumped swiftly towards Madel as she raised activated a formation plate.

Henry skillfully sliced the bandits where are Francis was like an indestructible iron. The swords of the bandits break as soon as it touches his skin. He only needed to punch a bandit once to shatter their bones.

Within seven minutes and their opponents where reduced in half. Henry had multiple wounds in his body and was now bleeding. Panting heavily he was sure that without Francis he could have died minutes earlier.

”Roar!!!!” a deafening roar was heard from afar.
