Volker still needed to draw his sword from its sheath. He still hid his weapon until he felt the urgency. It would be dangerous if the blade hidden in its place were to come out and finish off anything in front of it. Volker obtained the sword named Gyz Obelix from a Supreme Master hundreds of years ago because he managed to become a student with high abilities.
The sword is thousands of years old, and many lives have been lost to the power of the Gyz Obelix.
The battle between Volker and Deja continues. Deja continued to swing his sword to injure his opponent. Unfortunately, Volker seemed unfazed. Deja took a deep breath with sweat dripping from her pores. Meanwhile, Volker had no intention of killing the man. Deja must live to be used as proof of how cruel this man is.
"Rodenists!"
Not far from where Volker stood, Waller was also almost exhausted from continuing to fight with Ritter. Ritter turned to Volker, knowing it was him who had been summoned. "Don't kill him."
"Are you crazy?" Ritter didn't accept it because he had to hold himself back from finishing off his opponent.
"Just follow my orders."
The second Volker said that his body seemed to be pushed and flown into the air. Volker was surprised by the sudden attack he had received. Volker could still see Deja was using her magic power to attack. The created wind was so mighty that it didn't give Volker any reaction.
Ritter, of course, did not remain silent. He immediately ran to kick Deja. Deja was thrown before his body was thrown with a bang. Because Deja lost control of his magic, Volker fell on the cold forest floor. A hiss escaped from Volker's mouth.
"Stop!" Ritter nearly broke Deja's head when Volker screamed. "Don't kill him." Volker rise up and then stood to approach. "You can't kill him. He must get a heavy penalty."
Ritter looked furious. But apparently, Deja doesn't want to be punished, or he will regret living in this world. With the last strength, he brandished his sword and dashed to slash at Ritter. Volker saw that and immediately ran to thwart Deja's efforts. Volker pulled the Gyz Obelix from its sheath, and the sword's power was relentless. Volker's soul, which was once peaceful, seemed to be eager to kill.
When Volker was almost in front of Deja, Volker lunged hard at Deja. Their blades rattled against each other. Ritter was surprised by Deja's fast movement. But he immediately retreated to give Volker space to fight again with Deja.
The man looked where Waller was standing, and it seemed that the man also still had the strength to fight. Ritter ran as fast as the blink of an eye, and when he was facing Waller, the power released was so great that Waller, whose energy was running out, could not fight back to its full potential. Blood came out of Waller's mouth, making the man fall sadly.
With that, Volker also knocked down Deja with his sword. The two troublemakers finally ended in death. Volker and Ritter exchanged glances from a reasonable distance away. Volker looked at Deja, covered in blood, with a cold gaze.
"I won't make you die if you don't go too far." Volker looked down at his sword still in his hand. Deja's blood that previously covered Gyz Obelix is now spotless. The blade seemed to absorb all the blood that surrounded it.
Volker sheathed his sword again. Then summoned his soldiers to remove the bodies of Deja and Waller. Volker gave Waller a sad look, but he couldn't do much. The man chose to betray, which means he was ready to die.
"Lord Waller?" One of the soldiers couldn't believe what he was seeing. They all know that Waller is a competent warrior. "Lord Volker, did Lord Waller do it?"
"You guys hurry up and take them to Remilis. I'll catch up with you guys. And about this Eorta guy, make sure he stays safe all the way to Remilis." Volker did not give his soldiers an answer.
All the soldiers obeyed Volker's order without saying much and carried the two bodies in two carts. Their journey to Remilis took at least an hour more.
The Terena Forest returned to silence after all the soldiers left that place. They were going Volker and Ritter alone there. Volker remained silent for some time before Ritter spoke.
"Are you sad that Waller had to die in the end?" he asked. "Actually I didn't mean to kill him, but he doesn't seem like he wants to languish in the dungeon for hundreds of years either. Because of that he prefers to keep attacking me even though he knows he is powerless."
Volker let out a long sigh. "No problem. Maybe death was better for him. Let's go."
"I don't seem to be going to Remilis." Ritter refused.
"What do you mean by that?" Volker looked at his friend sharply. "Come back with me. I want to discuss Goldana Aerta with you."
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to Delmar and staying there. You can come to see me after the problem is solved. I don't want to get any deeper into it." Even when the Rodenis soldiers came, Ritter hid so they wouldn't see him.
"You can stay at my house. No one will know about it." Volker pressed.
"It's okay, I promise I'm not going anywhere. You can finish everything first."
Ritter looked like he didn't want to argue as he swung his foot away from Volker. Such was Ritter, and he would do whatever he wanted. Don't care about other people.
Volker finally left Terena Forest and returned to Remilis. Waller's death would have shocked the Elders, but Volker couldn't stop this from happening. Those nights of fear that the humans experienced might be over. But Volker doesn't want to think that all of this is over; who knows if Waller and Deja weren't the only ones planning the terror.
The judgment hall was filled with soldiers. The elders immediately came after hearing that the perpetrator had been found.
"Are you sure Waller is the culprit? He's working with Eorta?" Lord Hector convinced himself by asking the soldiers.
"That's right, Lord Hector. Lord Volker who fought these two rebels alone."
"Then where is Volker now?" asked Lord Jurgen.
"He's in the back. Making sure there are no other possible threats."
But before long, Volker came with long strides. The man's body appeared bruised in several places, although there were no serious injuries.
"Volker, are you all right?" Lord Hector looked concerned.
"I'm fine, Lord. But Waller didn't survive." Even though Volker's face didn't have a sad expression, a man's voice sounded regretful."
"It's unfortunate, but was it really him who did it? But, how can he cooperate with Eorta?"
