The Last Incarnation Of The Land Of Arden
Six Years Ago [Contract]

From a distance Nel looked at Arnold who was standing before Marsyal for a long time. Every now and then, Nel looked the other way. Nox was busy closing the wound of one of the fighters whose neck had been cut. The blood of the young warrior, continued to flow profusely.

Nel's head felt dizzy because of the mana that was too much use. "Nel, bring back a stick that can still walk on its own. Let Marsyal buy us some time"

Nel glanced at Nox who was still trying to close the slash on the fighter's neck. "Teacher, aren't you being too rash? What if Marsyal happens to something?".

Nox let out a long sigh without looking at Nel. "Then, can you be as calm as Marsyal in front of a king-class Devil?"

Hearing this, Nel realized it. He is not as good or as smart as Marsyal. He wants to be useful in this battle.

Nel started to take the wounded fighters away from the place.

Zack still hasn't appeared in front of Nel. Daniel, it's at his limit and he's been severely wounded by Arnold's massive attack.

Nel exits ASJ after teleporting his fighters to heal himself. The sky is really red. The red rain fell and soaked Nel's clothes.

Nel sensed the strange mana from the rainwater. He held out his left hand and saw the red color of the water.

"Red?" Nel immediately looked at the maroon sky.

"It's not a rain of blood. It's a rain mana. What exactly happened to Shinrin?"

Nel lowered his gaze. "Am I still able to see tomorrow? I, want to celebrate my ascension party as captain along with the others" Thin smile expands on Nel's lips. "I'll also buy teacher Nox a nice drink".

WOSH!

Nel again teleported to where Nox was. The warrior whose neck had been slashed had died from the loss of a lot of blood.

Nel looked towards Marsyal. The iron sword mixed with mana had pierced through the belly of Marsyal standing before Arnold.

"BKHUK!"

Marsyal vomited blood and blood out of his two nostrils. Marsyal's eyes looked at Arnold's eyes which were sliced bright red.

"If it wasn't for this rain, De luce Arnold would've made sure you'd die in my hands. But, what a pity. Your destiny did not die in my hands" said Marsyal who endured his pain while holding back the magic sword that was getting thrust into his stomach.

TRASH!!!

Arnold pulled his sword hard from Marsyal's stomach.

The blood flowing through Arnold's sword returns to Marsyal's stomach and Marsyal's wound closes back without leaving a wound.

Arnold saw blood on his sword forming webs and drifting back to Marsyal's wound. This was the most unique magic Arnold had seen in his entire life.

SHUUONG.... BRUK!

Marsyal suddenly fell and was unconscious.

Arnold's eyes were wide. "Seriously? Is that true?" Arnold flipped Marsyal' body with his right leg.

Marsyal fainted. "He was weaker than I thought. Though, I thought he was an equal opponent to the teacher" Arnold was so shocked and barely believed him.

Arnold then stands up and senses Tsuha's magic in hiding to heal her mother's wounds. Arnold opens a teleport hole behind Glashya and Arnold uses Telekinesis magic to pull Glashya.

"GREP!!"

Nox clenched his left hand tightly. "Nel, protect Tsuha like it's protecting your own life. That boy, I've looked like my own son. WHOA!!" Nox immediately moved over Arnold and "PASTSSS!!!!" A whip-shaped mana gun with a sharp tip shot towards Arnold and injured Arnold's face as Arnold tried to dodge it.

THE TEP!

Nox landed his feet on the watery ground and pulled the mana weapon back into his hands.

Arnold rubbed the blood on his right cheek that was flowing in the rain where it was.

"Why don't you guys end up? It makes me want to kill you more. TRANGGG!!!!!"

Arnold instantly came forward and held back the slash of Nox's jagged and sharp whip attack.

Nox's attack wasn't a heavy one for Arnold. However, the Nox attack makes it difficult for Arnold to attack Nox with a close-scale attack.

"Curtain!" Arnold grieved that he was getting fed up with this fight.

"******SUBJECT*****" Arnold told Nox.

DEGH!

Nox suddenly felt an intimidating aura from Arnold.

BRUUUU!

Nox's body moves on its own. He suddenly knelt down in front of Arnold.

"What's going on?" Nox could not make his voice. Arnold walked towards him closer and raised his sword for him to crush towards Nox.

"You're making me sick. YOUUUNG!!!! !!!!"

Just as the sword was about to be cut into Nox's head, from behind Arnold, Glashya thrust his sword right into Arnold's esophagus.

"KHOOOK......" Arnold was shocked when he saw the green mana sword piercing through his throat.

Glashya removed her mana sword after seeing the blood spurting.

"GRREET!" Arnold twisted his position and strangled Glashya behind him until he lifted up.

"MOM!!!!!" Tsuha screams for her strangled mother.

I don't know what Glashya's thinking. He wrapped root magic around Arnold's body until Arnold had trouble moving.

"You came at the wrong time" Arnold spoke as he closed his open neck and showed his grin.

Arnold's blood, flowing through Glashya's still-open wounds. Arnold further strangled Glashya until Glashya's body convulsed and did not move again.

Tsuha is picked up by Nel to take her out of the place. Tsuha continued to rebel against Nel. He wants to go back with his mother.

!!!!! TWOGH!!!!!

Nel hit something hard from behind. He immediately fell away and Tsuha slipped out of her hand.

A BRUAKKKK!!!!

Pungung Nel hit a wooden pillar of a house owned by residents who were half burned.

"Akh, Sick"

Of course he felt pain. His body was injured. He lifted his eyes to see what hit him.

Glashya, crouched down and raised Tsuha to stand up. He cleaned Tsuha's dirty face in the mud.

A giggling scar, seen on Glashya's neck. Tsuha touched the bluish bruise on her mother's neck.

"Mom, is this sick?" Tsuha hugged her mother.

Glashya returned Tsuha's embrace tighter.

Nel widened his eyes when he saw which color came out of his Glash body and turned red.

"TZUHA! STAY AWAY! WHOA!"

Nel knew it wasn't Glashya. He immediately warned Tsuha and launched a mana sword attack capable of darting from a distance.

"TRACK! BWOSH"

Protection magic suddenly appeared and blocked Nel's sword incision.

Tsuha looked at her mother's smirking lips.

DEGH!

Tsuha's heart pumps out rapidly at the sight of her mother's now red eyes. Tsuha pushed the body of her mother who hugged her tightly.

"Why? Does my son not want to be hugged by my mother?"

It was Arnold who managed to infiltrate Glashya's body after he strangled Glashya.

WOSH!

TRANKKKKKKKK!!!

Nel appears behind Arnold to attack him. However, Arnold had read Nel's movements and aura.

Arnold really grinned wide. "This body, it's really great! I can feel the aura of others more sharply!"

"But, what a pity. This body is not able to withstand my magic capacity"

WOSH!

Arnold moved to avoid Nel's attack.

Arnold crouches behind the awakened Tsuha after realizing that her mother is dead.

Arnold stroked Tsuha's head slowly.

"You, you know what I mean, don't you, son? You're a nice container. Your body is a young body that can adapt to the capacity of others. Just like Prince Aosora" Arnold gripped both cheeks of Tsuha with his right hand.

"Let's make a soul contract. I will not kill you or kill the man in front of you. I'll just stay inside your body and we'll die together" Arnold told Tsuha.
