Chapter 13 A Pursuit

A few months ago.

A blackbird circled the area where Yultong and Randolph were fighting. It wasn't long before several footsteps came swiftly.

"Drap...drap...drap..."

"Hey Laila, ... are you sure Mr. Yultong was here?"

Two Lycans wearing black leather robes with a hood that was not worn were seen running around looking for someone. They were Laila and Vero, the Yultong warlords.

Laila is a rare class owner called Vengeance. He can use a pair of boomerangs or scimitars. Laila has a fairly attractive physical appearance, at the age of 25, she is the called prima donna of the Vulkacis knights. While Vero is a Barbarian with a height of almost 2 meters. An ax with the size of half his body always accompanied him wherever he went.

"Damn it...many of our brothers were killed. Is this the power of that illegitimate child? It's my fault. If I didn't go after the father that's illegitimate child, Master Yultong would be fine," complained Vero.

[Laila sniffs with her sensitive nose]

"Hmm... What kid can't fight... It could be Master Yultong's strength, or someone else was helping that kid," Laila replied casually.

(Vero looks at Laila)

A few hours ago, Vero, who returned to Vulkacis village, was surprised to see only a few knights in Vulkacis. He only found out that his master, Yultong was chasing Randolph shortly after Agha and Laila left the dimension when they fought Tegura.

"Well... it's not your fault. After all, you were assigned by Mr. Yultong and Mr. Agha to hunt that person. Besides, why did you come back alone? Where are Bilms and Guan Ho?" replied Laila.

"The two of them continued their trail in search of that man. I decided to return when the three of us accidentally ran into one of the 7 sins, Pride. We met him, but it is strange. He's let us go. But when I arrived at Vulkacis to report it to Lord Yultong, the village was deserted. "

When she heard Vero's words, Laila's hair stood on end. She knew that Pride had almost destroyed the continent of Itzbomos a few years ago due to being out of control. Laila's parents are one of the victims of the cruelty of that creature's power.

"Grit...."

[Laila grits her teeth]

A feeling full of anger and wanting to get revenge enveloped her.

"That thing...I'll kill that thing someday..."

At the same time, there was a rumbling sound from the pile of cliff stones scattered on the ground.

"Crack..."

Vero and Laila's attention was directed to the pile of stones. With wary movements, the two of them approached him.

"Shriek...."

A finger tried to reach the lump of stone that had piled up on the body. The closer Vero and Laila get, the more familiar they are with those clothes and a sword with a distinctive black pattern can be seen.

Vero and Laila's screams at the same time broke the silence in the location.

"Damn it... it's Mr. Yultong... Laila help me get rid of these stones...!!," shouted Vero panicked.

"Master Yultong!!" Laila screamed.

Still, with their Lycan form, they quickly tried to destroy and throw away all of the rocks that covered their leader's body.

"Huh... hm..."

Sweat was dripping profusely on the two bodies, even their breaths sounded hoarse because many stones had piled up on Yultong.

"Vero, seeing Yultong's condition looks like we should immediately bring him back to the village"

"I agree with you ..." replied Vero who immediately took him to Yultong.

As Yultong was in Vero's arms, a groan escaped his mouth before he fell unconscious again.

"7 Sins Pride teamed up with..."

The chatter made Vero and Laila curious. It turned out that Laila's intuition about what was happening at this location was true. There was someone else that helped that boy escape.

"We should report all of this to Mr. Agha," Laila said hastily.

("That kid brought disaster to us," she continued to herself)

"Hurry up... let's go... let's go..."

Laila and Vero who rescued Yultong tried to catch time to quickly return to the village of Vulkacis.

*****

A few hours before Agha and Laila managed to get out of Tegura's dimensional magic.

"Wrath of Flame..." Agha attacks Tegura with his whirlwind spell.

"Swooosh..."

But Tegra calmly cast a spelling wall of ice then also followed by a reply in the form of a cold wind attack equipped with sharp ice.

"Wall Blizzard, Typhoon Blizzard..."

"Szrakkk...Szrakkk...."

The attack was repelled by Agha with his fire magic.

"Flare Shield..."

"Snip...snap...Bwoozh"

Ice spells and fire spells attacking each other could irritate one's senses. Whether it's from his sight, hearing, or feeling. However, both of them isn't an ordinary person. On the other hand, there is someone who already activating her skills.

With enough calculation, she tried to decide when she could injure the elders who were skilled in interdimensional spells and ice spells.

"A little more... I have to wait for the right time... Mr. Agha has calculated everything"

In keeping with her sharp intuition that was accustomed to being trained in battle, she did manage to see an opening.

"Brutality <Activated> boost attack speed 50%, boost speed 20% & ignore defense target"

"Fast & Dead <Activated> get 10% chance get critical hit"

"Apply Deadly Poison Scimitar <activated> get 30% chance to apply deadly poison on target"

Several additional spells had been activated by Laila, but she still hadn't launched her attack yet.

"I see it... Now is the rights time..."

"Drap...drap...-"

Laila's very fast movements make her leave some after images. With that incredible speed, she launches an attack by piercing the target's blind spot.

"Impale Scimitar Stab..."

But the thing that Laila expected happened.

"Zrakkk....zraaak..."

"Wall of Ice," Tegura shield spell tried to resist those skills launched by Laila. But, Laila has already prepared her other skills to counter those shields. Laila makes her move faster.

"Not so fast old fart, I'll kill you today!! After all, mages are my number one prey!! Double Scimitar Slash!!"
