BOOM!
The blade of the battle axe struck the
Cobblestone road, shattering the road as debris flew into the air.
Dust from the road spread outward in air.
Petrick was able to dodge the strike.
He sidestepped instantly before the attack could land on him. Just then, a big hamr ca toward Petrick.
His dagger t against the flat side of the war hamr.
CLANG!
It was Regnar, who was now using a hamr to fight.
"Arhh! Fuck this weak body!" Petrick said in annoyance.
"So you are the one behind all of this!" Regnar said in rage. He was really angry about everything that had happened.
Petrick didn’t reply. Instead, he moved forward and clashed directly with Regnar.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
The hamr and daggers collided again and again. Sparks flew every ti the weapons t.
Regnar suddenly opened his left palm. While he kept hamr in right. A gray color magic circle appeared in front of him. And a strange vibration spread through the air.
[Sound Burst]
A visible ripple ford in the air and shot toward Petrick. The sound wave exploded near him, forcing Petrick to jump back and cover his ears for a brief mont.
But before Petrick could recover, Draven arrived from the side.
His battle axe swung horizontally toward Petrick’s waist.
Petrick bent backward and avoided the blade by inches, then spun and kicked Draven in the side. Draven slid a few steps back but quickly regained his balance.
Now both Draven and Regnar stood side by side.
Regnar tightened his grip on his hamr, while Draven lifted his battle axe and mana began to swirl around the blade. Wind started gathering around his axe, spinning like a small storm.
The wind wrapped around the axe blade, making it sharper and faster.
Both of them attacked at the sa ti. Regnar swung his hamr downward, while Draven slashed diagonally from the side.
Petrick moved quickly, blocking Regnar’s hamr with one dagger and deflecting Draven’s axe with the other.
CLANG!
CLANG!
Despite fighting two people at once, Petrick was still smiling.
Petrick’s body was being used by soone else. Petrick himself was low level, and the real enemy who was controlling him couldn’t use his own full power or high-level magic spells. All he could rely on was combat experience and skill.
Yet he was handling both young n, Draven and Regnar, very well.
Regnar swung his hamr again, covered with dense mana. It hit heavily against his dagger.
The impact of the attack forced Petrick to step back, but at that sa mont Draven appeared behind him and swung his axe vertically.
Wind howled around the blade as it ca down.
Petrick rolled forward on the ground, barely avoiding the axe, then kicked Regnar’s knee from below, forcing him to lose balance for a mont. He then threw a quick slash at Draven, cutting his sleeve slightly before jumping back to create distance.
The three of them stood facing each other now.
anwhile, Noah watched from so distance, leaning his back against a wall.
His breathing was heavy. His body was covered in cuts and blood.
He slowly took out a mana recovery potion and a healing potion.
He drank the mana recovery potion first, then the healing potion.
Warmth started to fill inside his body.
The core which had felt empty slowly started to fill with mana again.
His expression cald down as he watched the battle.
The cuts on his body started to nd and heal. The cut on his chest also started to heal, but very slowly since it was big, and the injury on his shoulder was also healing very slowly.
It wouldn’t heal fully since it was a low-level potion.
Noah watched the battle calmly.
Boom!
While he could hear the sound of fighting, it was not in front of him, but sowhere farther away.
The monster Damien and the others were fighting was really strong. Its endurance, in particular, seed extrely high.
Noah had already done what he wanted to do. He could have simply hidden in so corner of this place, or inside any building, just like many students who were still hiding in different places.
But he didn’t do that. The reason was simple. He wanted to get involved in this incident so he could contribute and receive a nice reward from his broken system... or whatever that thing was.
’...I even fought against the main villain of this arc... or scenario. Whatever it is... now I can just wait for Damien to kill him, and I might get a better reward.’
He exhaled slowly. Many innocent students had died. He had even seen one get killed right in front of him.
Yet... he was sohow handling it well. Maybe it was because such things were normal in this world, and the previous Noah didn’t feel much about it... or maybe the current Noah just had sothing wrong with his head.
But it didn’t matter. All that mattered was his survival. He continued watching the battle.
Despite Regnar and Draven both fighting together, Petrick was keeping up with them without much problem.
Just then, a huge light ca from the direction where Damien and the others were fighting the huge monster behind the buildings.
It brightened the sky.
Noah covered his eyes from the bright light.
Even Petrick and the other two stopped fighting montarily and looked in that direction.
Soon, a high-pitched loud scream of a monster ca from that place. It sounded painful.
SCREEEECHHHHH!!
Then a huge explosion ca from there.
BOOOM!
It sent a hot shockwave through the air.
Dust, light, and wind spread everywhere. No one could see what was happening there.
Thud.
Sothing heavy fell on the ground sowhere away.
Noah thought the battle between Damien and the monster had ended. He sighed in relief, thinking Damien would soon co here.
’ ..it’s finally ended.’
But suddenly.
Petrick put the dagger in his left hand into his waist band and then pulled out sothing from his storage ring.
It was a pyramid-shaped brown tal object with so runes carved on it.
It started to gleam.
Both Draven and Regnar beca tense and got ready to defend themselves, expecting so kind of attack from the object.
But nothing happened. The object stopped shining.
Petrick then crushed the object with his hand and threw it aside. It was looked liked so machine from inside.
Then he raised both daggers again and got ready to fight, a wide smile appearing on his face.
Noah narrowed his eyes.
’Sothing is not right ..’
