Chapter 151: Massacre Of Silva [7]
In the relentless dance of blades and sorcery, Lucas and Aric harnessed their newfound strength, turning the tables on the black-clad assailants who had sought to subjugate them. The once haughty assailants found themselves confronted by a tenacity they hadn't anticipated.
-Slash! -Thrust! -Crack!
Aric's broadsword cleaved through the air with precision, each strike a testament to the combat proficiency he had honed through trials. Lucas, fueled by the surge of hatred and determination, moved with an agility that defied the odds, his sword becoming a blur of relentless motion.
As the battle reached its climax, Aric and Lucas orchestrated their attacks with seamless coordination. The assailants, caught off guard by the sudden reversal, struggled to maintain their composure.
-Thud! -Clang!
With a final, decisive strike, Aric incapacitated one of the assailants, his broadsword finding its mark. Simultaneously, Lucas, driven by a burning desire for retribution, delivered a swift and calculated blow, incapacitating the second assailant.
The corridor, once witness to the torment inflicted upon Lucas, now bore witness to the triumph of resilience. The assailants, defeated and demoralized, lay incapacitated, their arrogance shattered by the unbroken spirit of those they had underestimated.
Aric and Lucas, breathing heavily but victorious, exchanged glances—a silent acknowledgement of their shared triumph.
As the echoes of battle subsided, Aric and Lucas found themselves in the aftermath of the intense confrontation. The corridor, once filled with the clash of steel and sorcery, now bore the scars of their struggle—cracks on the walls, scattered debris, and the lingering aura of defiance.
Aric, still catching his breath, surveyed the scene. His body, battered and bruised, reflected the toll of the battle, but his eyes gleamed with a newfound fire. The chains of doubt and self-imposed limitations that had bound him were shattered, replaced by a resolve to embrace his strength and continue the pursuit of mastery.
Lucas, recovering from the relentless assault, touched his cheek where the blood from earlier wounds still lingered. The pain, both physical and emotional, became a testament to the strength within him that had surfaced in the face of adversity. The embers of hatred against those who sought to break him were now tempered with the determination to protect and defend.
Silence settled in the corridor, a moment of introspection amidst the chaos. Aric turned to Lucas, a silent understanding passing between them.
Lucas spoke, as he took out two high-grade healing potions from his smart bracelet. "Here take this, drink and don't show me that look," Lucas said as he felt Aric was glaring daggers at him.
"Tsk."
Aric took one potion with a haughty attitude and drank the potion greedily, all the wounds on his body began to heal rapidly, and Lucas's wounds also held as he drank the potion.
-Clank!
"I'm not going to let this slide, I'll find every one of them and kill them," Aric said, after throwing the glass of potion on the floor.
Lucas glances at him and scoffs, they barely managed to beat them and by luck maybe and this idiot wants to kill every one of them.
'What an idiot...'
If not for Lucas's luck which is always bad, he would have left this mansion long ago but now he can't do that.
By this time Lucas knows that the best chance for survival is to find another main cast and there is also one thing that keeps bugging him.
That man said they were coming here for him but Lucas didn't think that he would be the target of 'New Sun'.
He did stand up here and there but that was not big enough to catch the attention of 'New Sun'.
Just as Adrian completed a piercing scream pierced through the large hall, capturing everyone's attention in an instant.
All eyes were quickly drawn toward the source of the commotion, which seemed to be coming from the direction of the door, that is right edge of the hall.
Within moments, a black-haired guy burst out of the doorway and sprinted across the hall, as everyone who had just been resting here, stood up, with their weapon in hands.
The guy was Sunny.
Following behind Sunny was a slive-haired elven girl, her expression twisted with fear as she ran.
Evelyn, who was standing next to Lucas, frowned in confusion.
"Lyra?" she muttered under her breath.
Right then, Lyra's wild scream echoed throughout the room again.
"There is one of those attackers, she yelled, her voice filled with terror and panic. "He killed most of the security guards, and he coming here!"
A few moments of peace shattered, This revelation left the crowd stunned. Soon another man entered the room, he was wearing the full-dress battle outfit, and like other black individuals, he didn't have a mask on his face.
There was a long scar on his right side cheeks, and the scar seemed to be new too. Which means his mask was destroyed in the battle earlier.
Amid the chaos, a handful of individuals were quick to take action.
With lightning-fast reflexes, three men and one woman jumped before the black-haired man effectively blocking his path and bringing him to a halt.
"Tsk!" The man clicked his tongue in frustration, his eyes darting around the room as he assessed the situation.
Kach, Kach, Kach—!!!
Thud, Thud, Thud—!!!
Suddenly, the heads of the three men blocking the man's path were swiftly severed and tumbled to the ground.
As the lifeless bodies of the men hit the ground everything went into chaos.
"...Huh–?! Khuk!!" the woman standing there gaped in horror at the sight before her.
But she was swiftly interrupted as the man plunged the dark claws into her abdomen, causing her to cough up a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground, lifeless.
The hall descended into chaos once again as the four individuals who attempted to stop a man were slain by him instead.
"Run! Everybody run!" A voice added, and the room erupted into a frenzy as people desperately tried to flee from the deadly man, beginning a stampede.
"Oh? trying to run will you? But I can't let you do that until I find my target." the man muttered to himself as he watched, students, staff and some citizens who are stuck here try to run away from him.
