What a disastrous blast, it swept everything in this vicinity.

"What are you been staring around for, hurry up and evacuate this place now!"

"What about the Arenlt Family?"

"Look at the house, do you think they would survive that!"

The sight was horrible.

There was fire everywhere; the roof was on fire, the doors and windows were on fire, the fire was even coming out of the house through various openings, looking like a fire-breathing dragon was inside the house, puffing away vicariously. The flames burned deep red and amber, almost livid purple.
"Look, someone walked out of the house!"

*cough *cough

I made it on time, luckily I managed to put up a barrier right before the impact. Thankfully she was fine, I would have killed myself if anything had happened to her.
some flames licking up in the air with the wind, trying to catch something else on fire, and finding nothing but air, disappearing into the windy night, like disappointed flutters.

A man approaching us, his face was pale.

"How about the other? he asked

" Sorry ...she was the only one who was still alive," I replied.

"Well then...take her to the carriage"

Seems like this was the last carriage. Most of the carriage had already evacuated. I gently put her there along with the other children.

"That was the last one!"

Then the carriage move headed towards the City of Rura.

"At least this time I didn't fail, don't worry your daughter would be fine, she will be moving to the city, after all, I already inform a friend there, he takes care of your daughter Erelyn. Finally, I could keep a promise"

Goodbye Lady Erelyn.

Now, better be prepared for someone coming...
An ally or an enemy?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[An intense mana was emmited]

The mana that was emitting behind the thick and hazy fire smoke caused some of us to tremble down in fear.
Everyone who was still on their toes quickly raised their guards and fighting stances.

Then, everything was quiet only the sound of the flame raging and nothing more than that.

*swish

Suddenly a sound like a hard metal cutting through the air, with just a glimpse of a few movements I was able to evade the blade.

Then, the second one came after but it was embedded with a high density of mana. I instantly pulled out my dagger and hardened it with my mana and parried the blades.

*clang

However.

*thud *thwack

The other didn't make it. The blade had hit precisely on their vital spot. Blood was oozing out from their body. There was nothing to be done, they already dead.

*pit-a-pat

"Fufufuf marvellous, spectacular, and what a splendid reflexes and judgement!" (??)

"Who are you," I asked

"Oh my, did the apprentice of The Great Sage just have a curiosity about this lowlife being?"(??)

How did he?..

" How did I know?fufufufu hmmm well I know everything about you"(??)

"But it kind of a disappointment, I thought that you could save them too, to be honest" (??)

"What do you want?" I asked

He smiled sinisterly.

"Hahaha" he laughed

"Look like the rumours about you could be true, you look cold and heartless. Have you heard that people call you The Cold Heart?"
(??)

"The one who left his comrades behind, who does not even care about their life" (??)

"Such a name befitting for...." (??)

*Slashed

He talked way too long, I could not bear hearing any of his gibberish talks anymore.

Still, his reaction is fast. he did evade my blade. I did aim for his head. At least I got his tongue now he should learn how to talk less.

*drip *drip

Blood gushed from his mouth, staining his lips crimson.

"How impatient" (??)

I did have patience...but his speech was way... wait did his tongue just grew back...

"Don't worry after all those agonies, I am the only one who understands your feelings. You're not cruel to let your friend die it just that you are too weak to protect them." (??)

"..."



"Hmm what with the silence...did I hit a jackpot?" (??)
Never mind he is strong I don't think I can fend him off by myself, I should buy some time for the carriage. Keep talking lizard.


"Hmmm you know that ability of yours, I do envy it, the way how you could neglect your feelings to prioritise what more important. That what makes you always did the right decision and judgement" (??)


"You still hasn't answered my question"


"My my I already get what are you trying to do, playing the role to give some time for the children am I right?" (??)


As soon as I heard that, I already finished my spell. Using the flame around me as a pushing factor to increase the fire rate of my fire blast.


[Hell Spits]


He chuckled and then pulled up his index finger....


[Water wall]


"This low tier level spell is enough to stop your hell spits"


"Change!!"


[Hell Bind]


The small flame of fireballs that scattered in the air headed towards that ugly man suddenly change its shape into a flame rope and bind him.


"Interesting, so that why he chooses you. Quite a monster you are to be able to change your spell after you had cast it. " (??)


"I am no longer his disciples and now you are not going anywhere!"


"I am not going anywhere, I am here to end your life Son of Zarell and Ayla." (??)


"...what did you just say...?"


*blurp


The blood gushes out from my mouth.
"What..?"

The man broke the bind effortlessly with his brute strength


"No wonder why you were so lenient to be killed compared to the other, you could not even sense my shadow needle when I threw it."(??)


"Goodbye Cold Heart, don't worry I made sure it will be a painless death"(??)


[Black Haze] [Shadow Touch]


I could not see..everything is pitch black.Then,
A razor-sharp blade pierced my abdomen, at first I don't feel anything until a few second after. Then the hormone and pain kick in.

Afterwards, the silver steel is withdrawn from my stomach. My shirt beginning to feel wet. I looked down there was a hole in my body.


I looked into his eyes...


"Well even with this demon body I'm still human at the soul. I tell you one thing just for you. I promise that I would not lay my hand on your Syrav Family, I just only want to have my revenge here."


I could not feel my body any longer, finally, I fell to the ground. I was saturated with blood. The world seems to be moving at a slow pace.


Then my vision went raven and all the tremendous pain had gone.



"My family was still alive..."
That was my final thought before I went to my eternal slumber.
