...CHAPTER 38 - RESCUE OF THE DUKE (2)...
...◇◇◇...
Clank's! Clank's! The clash!
Continuous and heavy attacks were continuously thrown at me.
Noa replied and pushed me in return. The gauntlet was so sturdy that The Broken Sword could not damage it.
I kept a distance with him for a while, around me the knights started a clash to both Noa's friends and Van got caught up with Senka restraining him.
At Duke's place, it seems that for now he's safe. Duke passed out on the outskirts of the Battlefield, I just have to defeat Noa no more.
Since there was a pause, I raised my left hand to the side.
"Sovereign Hand." I said slowly.
Woosh! The Iron Sword that was stuck on the ground, suddenly floated up and headed towards me.
Instantly I caught him.
[ The Sovereign Hand ]
[ Including Telekinesis skills and having the ability to control one or more target objects or subjects more deftly and well. Having the ability of destruction and high speed, it is necessary to note that this skill has a defect that is only 40% successful to something other than objects. ]
The power called "Sovereign Hand." Is a branch of the Telekinesis skill that I have, however, stronger and faster at controlling objects.
The price of using it is Mana which is not small.
"Hou, Interesting." Noa was impressed and slowly she began to be enveloped in a dirty black aura.
He seems to be getting serious.
"Haha.. It seems like he hasn't been serious since."
I put up the horses and crossed the two swords in front.
"Wind Step's. Fire Armor," said I who gave a magic buff to me.
The wind blew into my two legs with a red aura covering my entire body.
"Kuh.." I felt a moment of rejection and another screen appeared.
[Active Blood Contract. ]
I was overdoing it, but this gave me room to breathe.
Swooshes! The stones around me slowly floated up and shot straight towards him.
"Don't die, son!" Noa's yelling stimulates me.
Noa ran quickly towards me without delay, I on the other side came forward.
Shuuu! A BAAM!
The flaming beacon of light held high up, The light was very bright and made us pause for a moment because of how bright it was.
Noa and I stopped, looked at each other and moved back.
Clank's! The clash! Clank's!
Slashes, slashes, dodges, shatters, pushes and forces attacks continue to occur in our exchange.
Waiting, I waited for the reinforcements to arrive.
The beacon that was lit by the kstarians intended to bring Joseph and Tofan to gather here with the knights.
"Do it more seriously!" he said he repelled all attacks from me.
"I've tried!!" I kept fighting and controlling Telekinesis to attack him.
However, He kept on excelling and kept pushing me. How powerful?!
"Gahaha!" He laughed while still attacking and pushing me.
Noa aggressively and looks to have fun kept pushing me.
Even though I had temporarily increased my strength, Noa was still superior and the aura of darkness that enveloped her was likely an increase in her strength similar to mine.
Only, he is stronger.
In a time-consuming process, the Duke was successfully taken away by two knights who rushed to take him.
Now, I have to defeat Noa. If not, I'll have more trouble.
"It's funny! Why are you guys seriously fighting!!"
The axe attack that appeared suddenly and hit us both made me with Noa dodge and widen the distance from each other.
The woman smiled as she approached us.
He's a friend of Noa's, Fanya.
[Fanya ]
[ Level 54]
[ Title: The Killing Laugh]
The purple-haired woman smiled and pulled back her axe into his hand.
Swoooshes! Taps!
The axe returned to his hand by itself.
"Interesting! Pull over!"
He was very happy, Noa on the other hand looked unhappy and her face snatched away an annoyance.
'Dangerous. The Knights have fallen a lot!'
The moment the attack arrived, I was sure that the woman had taken down the other kstarians and saw from afar that Riel looked finished and was just watching from afar. Seemed to be sitting on a piece of wood with a yawn.
"The flesh. It's my fight."
"Heeeeee... Leave it! I want to fight too!!"
He came straight at me very quickly.
The axe he was holding was directly thrown towards me without hesitation.
"Ughhh!"
I managed to avoid it, but the axe returned to his hands. In the process it hit me who made my shoulder hurt deeply.
"Schrand.."
So hurt. Now my opponent is increasing..
The time I can spend is a little.
My HP is also drained a lot due to the blood contract, the longer the fight lasts my body will be in a dangerous situation.
Seriously, I'm in danger.
So inevitably, I activated another magic by turning off the fire and wind magic that increased my power.
"Wall Fire! Photo of Fire!"
A wall of black flames peaked in front of me blocking the two.
They stared at the blackened flame.
"intriguing. Do you think this could get in my way?" Noa looked amazed.
On the other hand, Fanya without any delay advanced through my fire wall.
"Haha!! It's futile!"
He lunged and passed through the Fire fortress Wall with ease and was almost unharmed.
But I was waiting for him.
"Phantom Blade of Anti-magic."
The transparent slash straight towards Fanya and towards her neck. He was stunned and immediately tried to protect her.
But it penetrated him and injured his neck further, due to panic he tried to avoid the attack but unfortunately his right hand was split in the dodge process.
A slash! A smooth slash cut through his right hand.
"What-what!?"
The smell! Fanya kept her distance and her right hand just fell down.
His face was full of anger.
"That's. ha. ha.."
The sword technique I used was a higher technique and this technique weighed on me while using it. My body is not strong enough to use this dangerous technique.
Although I managed to get him away, but I intend to kill him. It's just that it failed.
"Buff in the Mind of Terror."
My head became bright again, only my body fatigue had not disappeared.
I have to hold on much longer.
A baam!
The sound fell right in front of us.
Uncomfortable looking Riel took to the field, she stood in front of me with her back to her two friends.
"Chairman, I think we'll take care of it" he said, glancing back impolitely.
The chairman in question, Noa turned around and waved her friend back. He ended this fight.
"No! I still have to cut off his hand!" Shouted Fanya annoyed.
"Fanya," said Noa calling him firmly.
"Ughs. Damnit. Fucking kid! Just look at it later! I'll make sure to cut off your hand!!" He shouted in annoyance and took his right hand.
Noa, Fanya and Riel are leaving. In the process Noa brought Van who was unconscious.
Senka dived into my shadow, she looked annoyed.
However, Duke is seen in critical condition.
He got a curse that was likely from the Red Domination and it seems like he lost a lot of blood.
As I was at a loss for what to do here, something pulled up my sleeve.
"Father, if Papa wants to. Senka can help him" said my little girl.
"Senka's.. Can you?" I asked to look at him.
"Yes! But the curse Senka can't do" he replied.
"No problem."
"My!"
Senka approached the rough-breathing Duke, then several Monster corpses from Shadow Storage fell not far from her.
Likely, Senka will use magic that once healed me.
"Myu, he's not in critical condition."
His tiny voice sounded relieved and the energy from the corpses of the Monsters slowly came out.
"...It's impossible."
Slowly with the energy taken away, all the corpses disappeared.
Life energy. The light dragged straight to the Duke.
It takes a long time to fill in the return.
[ HP: 40/2000]
He is in critical condition, but slowly it improves.
[ HP: 48/2000] ️
[ HP: 52/2000] ️
This power.. Similar to my blood Contract, it only sends monster HP energy to Duke. Than draining.
I don't understand the concept of the work, but it looks like it's effective at saving Duke.
Not long after that, reinforcements arrived.
Joseph rushed over after seeing the battlefield had stopped with many knights collapsing.
After seeing me, Joseph and Tofan rushed over to my place. The other knights helped the other knights on the battlefield.
"Mr Ren! ... Lady Senka..? Ah, Master Duke!"
Joseph cried and came to our side. He was very happy that Duke was still alive.
"Ren, the boy.." Joseph saw Senka healing her master.
"Calm down, Senka is healing Duke" I said casually.
"Lady Senka's.." Joseph looked happy and cried. It seemed like Duke was loved by his subordinates as well.
Senka seemed to take a long time to heal the Duke completely.
"Joseph, ask the others to help the fallen and take care of them" I stood up.
"Yes, I'll make sure everyone's safe!"
Joseph stood up and immediately ordered his knights to move to help the other knights who were defeated.
It's just, something's bothering me. Red Domination, they did not kill the Duke and only gave him a Curse. Then, they ended it just like that, I don't know why but if the fight continues I will die.
"Ren," call someone.
I turned around and saw him approaching me.
"Ah, is it Tofan?"
"Follow me," he said walking away.
"Uh? huh uh?"
Tofan moved away from the group and led me to the side near the cliff a little far away.
"What's calling me?" Askaqua.
"Look at this" he said, showing something.
"This??"
Magic artifact?
"What do you mean?" I don't understand.
"This thing was here when I found it. I'd like to know what this is if you know, but it doesn't seem like a yes."
"Oh. yeah."
I thought what, but...
"Let me hold it," I said asking for it.
"It."
I checked it with my eyes and a screen of information appeared on it.
[ Dungeon Key of Chrono ]
"Dungeon Key?!"
"What keys??"
I was shocked when I realized it, isn't the Chrono Dungeon not there yet?? Then why is there a key here??
"Where is Dungeon?" Tanya Tofan saw the Key.
"Chronos. Do you know?" said staring.
"No, but I think we can keep it," he shook his head.
Seems like.
"Here, you better hold it. You were also the first to find it," I said, returning the key to him.
"No problem?"
I'm nodding.
Tofan took it and kept it in his pouch.
"Then, I think Senka might be done," I glanced at the healing spot.
So we headed to Senka.
But the situation is still not finished. Not half of HP has been added.
"Senka, maybe you can stop after believing Duke can move," I smiled.
"Good, Papa!"
"Good."
I patted her head gently and saw her work.
"Ren, Papa? Is this your son?"
Tofan seemed unsure when he saw me with Senka.
"Yes, he's my son" I said without a doubt.
"...So it is."
His face was doubtful. Well, I don't care about that. Since our hair and eyes are different.
"Right, Joseph, is there any green potion?" I asked without seeing it.
"Wait a minute. Well, there's still a dozen," he told me.
"The ingredients are useful for the Duke's recovery later," I said casually.
"Okay, Mr. Ren. But it seems like you need it too" said Joseph, who picked up some green herbs.
"What's that?" I don't feel too sick.
But from another point of view.
"Papa, you're hurt everywhere" said Senka still healing Duke.
"Eh? Really true?"
I checked my body and many slash marks, minor cuts and deep wounds on my shoulder.
"ahahahahah.. Now I feel sick."
"Mr Ren, this is a drink."
So I took the green potion and drank it straight away, as soon as my body slowly healed with the wounds closing and the marks disappearing.
Then Senka called me.
"Papa, Papa." call him.
"Yes, Senka?"
"She's getting up" he said, completing the healing.
"really?"
I approached them with Joseph beside me.
Duke looked calmer and slowly his eyes opened.
"Ughb ... Hmm..? Child ... small?"
He woke up and saw Senka smiling in front of him.
