Ch.86 I give my life to save you!
*ZZ-SWING-ZZ!*
Quin charges his sword as it looks like electricity was arching off the blade as he cuts the rock wall coming at him in two.
"Rya! Try to fight the collar! If I can grab it, I can free you! You won't have to die!" Quin yells.
Rya looked up at Quin in desperation. "I'm sorry Quin. But I don't think my body will let you."
Rya fired off two more magic attacks while Quin was trying to get closer to her.
"NO! I WON'T LEAVE YOU!" Quin growls as he blocks both of Rya's projectiles.
Quin runs toward her as she throws herself backward.
"Rya! Don't run!" Quin screams as he follows after her.
Quin reaches her side but before he could reach her collar, she launched another earth attack that struck Quin on his side.
"No! NO!" Quin yelled as blood started to seep through his armor.
"Quin! There's no way I can escape this collar! Quin you have to stop !" Rya cried out.
Jeremiah was absolutely amused by all the action going on before him.
"HAHA! I think I should keep her, instead of giving her to the duke. I won't need to lift a finger anymore with her around." Jeremiah laughed.
Quin stands back up as he takes deep breaths. He turns towards Rya who was preparing another attack.
"Rya... I'm sorry I never got to tell you..." Quin says as he readies himself for her attack.
'No! Don't say it Quin! Not now!' Rya scread in her head.
"You’re too important to Rya… I can never harm you because I love you..." Quin states as he prepares for her next move.
'FUCK! I HATE THIS COLLAR! FIGHT IT GOD DAMMIT!' Rya scread in her mind as her body continued to go after Quinus.
Just before she cos into striking distance, a few arrows co her way.
Earth walls ford everywhere around her to stop the incoming arrows.
"Damn! She's strong!" Jeremiah said as he watched the scene unfold.
*Swing! Crush!*
Quin just barely missed being struck by Rya's attack.
'Why would Quin love soone as flawed as ! God! I'm so fucking stupid!'
"RUN!" Rya scread as she charged at him.
Quin blocks two of her attacks and then slashes at her. The attack almost hit her, but she was able to dodge it.
"I'm not running Rya! I’m going to free you, even if it costs my life!" Quin yelled back as he blocked her next attack which was a fist covered in a rock spike.
"This isn't fair!" Rya screams as she swings at his head with her rock fist.
Quin dodges it but stumbled backwards onto his back.
'NO! Quin's defenseless!' Rya scread in her mind as she swung again.
Jeremiah smiled as he watched Rya about to kill Quinus.
"Lady Ryan!" Sir George cos in front of Rya's attack.
Rya swings as Sir George holds up his shield to block the spike strike.
*BAM!*
*Slam!*
A rock spikes and slams into Sir George's shield knocking off his hand.
"Gah!" Sir George felt the spike entering his stomach.
"George!" Quinus yelled upon seeing his retainer and friend impaled by Rya's attack.
"No! George!" Rya yelled in disbelief.
Sir George quickly hugged her so he could keep her in her place.
*Cough!* "It's o-okay, lad-y Rya. It's n-ot your fault." Sir George said between coughs as blood started coming from his mouth.
'No! NO! Please don't die!' Rya begged.
Sir George held her tightly as he could.
***
About 15 minutes before Rya stabbed Sir George.
Dietrich was engaged in a battle with so dwarven soldiers. Swinging around his war hamr he was able to take out two dwarves in one swing.
"Weaklings!" Dietrich said as he turned his attention to Jeremiah and Quinus fighting.
***
*CLING! CLANG! CLONG!*
Jeremiah and Quin were exchanging and pairing blows left and right.
"Ugh! Is that all you got Kings Slayer!" Quin shouts.
"Putting on a brave face! I'm going to have fun with you indeed!" Jeremiah said as he unleashed a spinning kick against Quin.
***
'Co on kid! Injure that bastard so I can make my move!' Dietrich thought as he swung around his war hamr.
Just as he was about to deliver the final blow to another dwarven soldier.
"Argh!" a dwarf scread as he fell back from the ground with blood pouring from his mouth.
'Patience Dietrich. Once you get the slaver tool. You will be able to take over this continent. Hell, maybe the world if I can kill the dragons... No! Don't get too cocky, you still have a lot to prove.' Dietrich thought as he readied himself again.
***
Dietrich patiently waited in hopes that he could grab the slavers tool from Jeremiah while fighting the prince. That was until Jeremiah sent the slave in to do his dirty work after getting kicked back by Quinus.
'Goddess be damned! That dark elf is more valuable than a weapon you moron!' Dietrich thought as he turned to see Rya attacking the prince.
It was at that mont Dietrich noticed Jeremiah was completely engrossed in Rya's fight.
'Shit! This may be the only way for to get the Slaver tool! I need to make my move when she goes in for the kill. Hopefully Jeremiah won't see coming.' Dietrich thought to himself as he moved himself behind Jeremiah. Trying to not make it too obvious and alert him of what was happening.
'I'll go for the tool... Goddess I wish I could backstab this mother fucker. But that unique skill of his will fuck up if I try.' Dietrich sighed in thought as he attempted to formulate a plan.
When Dietrich moved into position. That is when the prince's retainer ca in the protect his lord from Rya's attack, which was the perfect opening for Dietrich.
'Ti to make my move. Hopefully this stupid ass doesn't see it coming.' Dietrich thought as he went after the slaver tool in Jeremiah's left hand.
"Hehe! This slave will b-Huh? What the hell?" Jeremiah said as he felt soone grab his left hand. "What the- Dietrich! You traitorous bastard!"
Before Jeremiah knew it, he was in a tug of war with the slaver tool with Dietrich.
"Goddess be damned! Fucking let go! The dark elf is mine!" Dietrich shouted as he tried to pry free the slaver tool from Jeremiah's hand.
"Oh! You're a failure in every way Dietrich! And this is the final nail in the coffin." Jeremiah laughed as he shoved Dietrich away.
"I'm not letting go, you prick! That slave is mine! You wouldn't have caught her if it wasn't for !" Dietrich shouted as he struggled to get the tool out of Jeremiah's hands.
"ENOUGH!" Jeremiah as he swung his wooden sword at Dietrich. While Dietrich used his mana charged war hamr to intercept the attack.
*BOOM!*
Jeremiah's powerful swing was blocked by Dietrich's warhamr causing a mini shockwave pushing the two of them back about five feet. And because of that they dropped the tool because of the montum.
"Damn it! Why are things never easy for ?" Dietrich cursed as he looked at the slaver tool.
"You're a dead man Dietrich! I swear on my honor!" Jeremiah spat as he raised his sword in the air before charging at Dietrich.
***
With Jeremiah no longer holding the tool. Rya wasn't fully controlled by the collar as she eased up on Sir George.
*Cough!* "It's o-okay, lad-y Rya. It's n-ot your fault." Sir George said between coughs as blood started coming from his mouth.
'No! NO! Please don't die!' Rya begged.
Sir George held her tightly as he could.
'God! Fuck it, Nils! Please, stop ! I can't bear to watch myself kill my friends! I don't want to hurt Quin! So please! End this however you see fit!' Rya pleaded as she eased up on her attack on Sir George.
*WHIZZZ! THUMP!*
Rya felt sothing strike her back.
"RYA!?" Quinus said in shock as he saw a white arrow sticking out of her back.
'Huh? I-I feel my conscience fading... Am I dying? W-Why does it feel so pleasant......' Rya thought as she felt her consciousness slowly fade.
"NO! RYA!" Quinus scread as he jumped up to Sir George who was hugging Rya. Struggling to stay standing as he was bleeding from his stomach.
"George! I got you two! Hold on!"
Quinus slowly lowered himself down next to them. As he placed a hand on George's back and another on Rya's.
*Cough!* "D-Don't wor-ry ab-out m.." Sir George coughed as blood dripped from his lips.
"Shhh! You don't need to speak. Just rest George. Just rest." Quinus whispered as he pulled Rya closer to him.
George slumped over on his side and closed his eyes.
"I've got you now." He said quietly as tears began to form in his eyes. 'I-I failed her! I failed to save...?'
