"The guards will be there in a few minutes, wait for them and keep an eye on them. They might be attached but they are still dangerous."
My altered voice echoed as I explained to the coachman and the others how to deal with the attached bandits.
The fight with them ended in two minutes as expected. It was too easy, so easy that I was shocked.
[]
Well, it might be that as well.
"Hey, thanks for the help!"
I turned around and saw Jayden.
Milleia was treating the injured ones with her modest skills.
"You are too soft."
"Hm?"
"If you continue to act like a naive brat, you will lose more than your life. Nothing will remain. Not even their corpses."
I said in a cold tone to Jayden.
"!"
My eyes peered into his eyes.
I was sure that my words made him rember his tragic past, and it was the purpose.
"The sa for you."
I shifted my gaze to Milleia. The latter turned around with her hands bloodied and dirty.
"If I hadn't been there, they would have all died, including the children."
"!"
"Keep staying like that, both of you and you will suffer hell."
A mirror slowly appeared at my side and I traversed it without adding any words.
I hope it was enough.
…
…
…
"Cough!"
I spat blood and supported my body on a tree.
Covering my mouth with my hand, I spat until no more blood ca out.
A soft touch suddenly caressed my back.
I smiled painfully.
I recognized, well, there was no way I couldn't recognize my first partner.
[Am I an hallucination?]
[]
My painful face distorted at Jarvis' and Cleenah's answer.
I was speaking of a partner I could see and touch.
Wait, it's a weird phrasing.
I shook my head and turned toward Mary.
"Mary, I told you to rest."
I was suffering the backlash of overusing Mary's bloodline ability, but Mary as well, since she wasn't like a reborn child now. I have been sharing my lifeforce with her since the contract, so I could feel how she felt. She had overdone just for my sake.
"..."
Mary looked at with the sa void dark eyes and shook her head.
With her free left hand, she handed my blazer.
"Thanks."
I took the blazer with my left hand and hugged Mary with my right hand.
Her body was cold.
Mary's body shivered at first but relaxed right after.
I patted her dark hair for a mont.
"It's okay Mary, you're not alone."
After a minute, I forcefully transferred her back to her dinsion otherwise she will keep forcing herself to remain beside as a guard.
I didn't like her to see that sad.
The mories of her smiling happily in Sekrin town were fresh in my mind. I hope she will recover little by little.
