Chapter 50: True-Self

Somehow, Illia had the sense to leave her quarrel with Wallace and stand in front of Maritza.

Alfred’s bullet went right into the back of Illia’s neck, and she choked on her blood as she fell to her knees. Maritza then noticed Alfred and put up her sword to his next shot, as if that might protect her.

But Ike, grabbing his dominant and bloody arm, hurled his lance at Alfred. The lance’s impact on Alfred’s shoulder took his arm clean off, and his arm holding the gun fell in front of him. Blood gushed from the socket and Alfred hyperventilated.

Scindo went to Illia’s side, trying to put pressure on her bleeding, but in turn only taking precious seconds of air out from her lungs.

“No, no, no,” Scindo repeated. “Illia, please.”

Wallace started to laugh, and he went for Scindo next, but Maritza stopped the strike with her own sword.

Ike hovered over Clove, who was twitching in a pool of her own blood.
