MERCIA
102. The Meeting with Elda.
After saying goodbye in a hot manner, August left Helena, just moments after he decided to stop resting on a large tree about ten kilometers from the city of Innodale.
'Fuck, every time I shake my leg with him, damn I can't open the portal.' When August starts to restore his energy, I sneer at a woman's moans from a distance.
August was surprised, but the shock was slowly dissipated when he recalled the incident in the Royan forest where he heard the moans of a man from a very far distance.
'hmm starting in front of me I have to train my hearing.' he closed his eyes, locked the direction of the sound source, when he opened his eyes, he darted away. the moaning sound was about three kilometers from where it had originally been, just as he arrived, August saw a woman leaning against a large tree, the woman was wearing protective clothing and a red face cover.
Seeing August's arrival the woman looked wary.
"You hurt?" ask August.
The woman was just silent, suddenly in her left hand appeared a brownish wooden sword.
August just smiled.
"I didn't mean to be evil, I heard your moaning from a distance, I decided to go look for him."
The woman remained silent, but when observing August's face she was a little confused, she looked familiar.
"Don't fuck around" said the woman pointing her sword as she watched August walk up to her.
"Stop or I'll kill you..!" threaten the woman who finally got up ready to fight.
"You're hurt how can you fight?"
The wooden sword in the woman's left hand instantly emitted a reddish aura. August alert.
The woman ran and jumped swinging her sword, August prepared, time slowed down, the falling leaves seemed to be touching the ground for a very long time, yet the woman could still move at a normal speed, August just this time saw someone capable of moving at such speed at the current situation.
He prepared to dodge the sword attack, but unexpectedly surprised that his body could not move, he saw that his feet were wrapped around a tree root that suddenly appeared from the ground. the root was extremely powerful, no matter how powerful August was to try to release its twists.
'shit I can't dodge anymore.'
BLEGARR!
The lady's wooden sword struck August's shield of light, both of which were blown dozens of meters away, the sword force and shield were capable of smashing the area around them to a radius of two kilometers, while the shock and the sound of an explosion was felt up to a dozen kilometers.
When August rose he spewed blood, he saw the woman with the same pain, he rose up and was ready to strike again.
"Wait to stop.., I'm not your enemy" said August.
The woman undoes her intention to attack, but she is still alert, but she falls withstanding the pain on her shoulders.
"Relax, I'll treat your wounds" said August walking slowly toward the woman.
'the sword of this woman is only made of wood, but it was not destroyed when it collided with my shield.' August thought.
'the two-headed snake said only one thing that could not be destroyed by the Angerage sword, did the shield belong to this man?'
"Let me examine your wounds" said August, then crouched down beside the woman. August looked at the woman's shoulder.
"Where did you get that sword?"
"It's none of your business, and don't even think about taking her away from me."
"No, every great weapon has its own master, if not its true owner, it will not be seen its privileges."
"Including your shield?"
"Right, this is a shield of light, he chose me, I found him in the blue lake."
"Lake blue? ahhhh...!" the woman held her head for a moment, then she looked back at August as if she knew him.
"Can you show me that wound on your shoulder?"
The woman realized from her daydream, half of her like knowing the face of the man before her, the other side full of suspicion.he touched her shoulder, when some of the protective clothes on her shoulders disappeared.
August saw a slightly poking black streak wound popping out, all centered at one point.
"is this wound due to a needle?" asked August who was a little surprised to see the wound.
"How do you know?"
"I'm just guessing it, the center point of your wound looks like it."
"I fought with a woman, she hurt me with her black needle."
"Black fragrances? does he also have a demon spear?" instantly a sense of anger surged in his chest.
The woman saw a change in expression from the glare of August's sharp eyes, she was increasingly wary of clasping tightly onto her sword.
"Javelin.. !" August clenched his hand.
"You know?"
"I want to kill that woman..!" august said as he picked up a water bottle from behind his clothes.
"What's your name?"
"Elda, you?"
"Mercia."
Deghs.
The woman's heart was racing, she didn't think the man in front of her was the one she was looking for, she wanted to know who Mercia was, why she always heard her name, but somehow her tongue felt like a joke, in fact he began to realize there was no clear reason why he should look for it.
"Why are you quiet?" ask August.
"Why do you want to kill him?" Elda asked back.
"Javelyn hurt my girlfriend, I don't know if she's alive or dead, she disappeared while she was in my arms." august said he poured the water in the bottle on the wound on Elda's shoulder and rubbed it away, slowly disappearing.
Elda was surprised to see the wound on his shoulder instantly disappear.
'So it turns out that this man can heal any wound.' Elda thought.
"your lover..., what's his name?"
"Julie..! Julia Lockhart."
"Juliah.. Ahhhh.." again Elda held his head which was like in the stab of dozens of hot needles.
"Drink..!" august says hand the rest of the water in the bottle to Elda.
"I'm not thirsty."
"The needle's poison is still in your body, if you don't drink it, I'm afraid it'll come back or it'll make your eyes blind, it'll also heal the pain in your head."
"Why should I trust you?"
"You don't have to."
Elda received the water, but he did not drink it immediately.
"I have to go, take care of yourself, Elda."
"Wait where are you going?"
"Royan City."
"Royans? akhhhh...." Elda again held his head.
"You okay?" ask August.
"My head. ahh.."
August touched Elda's head his healing energy alleviating his headache.
"I'm fine."
"You sure?"
"Yes, thank you."
"Drink that water immediately."
"i'll drink it."
"Alright, sorry I have to go and I hope we meet again" August said.
"His face.the voice..the blue lake.., Julia Lockhart.. Royan City... Why does everything feel familiar? I have to see him again."
"Hmm. that woman, damn I killed her."
Suddenly the pendant in his chest shook slowly, he opened it and watched it.
"I didn't think he was alive." Elda opened the cover of his face looking a smile adorning his lips, he then drank the water given August and spent it, he was again made surprised, his strength returned quickly and felt bigger he finally left.
