How naive...
Raven and Blaze ran after Ozul while drinking the purple potion to heal themselves quickly.
Of course, they were as discreet as possible since Raven had explained to Blaze that Ozul did not like it when soone used that potion in front of him.
They passed quite a few houses and arrived in a dark alleyway. They rested to catch their breath since surviving a blast such as that with only a distance of 20 ters took a heavy toll on their body.
Even the potions used to heal Raven and Blaze worked by utilizing the stamina of the consur to treat their injuries faster. Hence, Ozul was relatively in a better state than both of them.
Not to ntion that he was also a Rank-7 Fighter!
After Blaze had caught his breath, he asked;
“Where do we start the search now?”- Even he knew that searching in two big cities was not an option now. The ti was ticking.
Just as Ozul was about to reply though, a high pitch scream reverberated in the air!
.....
*Screech*
The shriek was so ear-piercing that many of the commoners had their ears bleeding! Even Blaze had to cover his ears to reduce the pain since he was only a Rank-2 Fighter!
No sane being could produce such sound. It took a few seconds for the inhumane screech to stop as everything ca to a standstill.
“This is where we start the search...”- Ozul replied to Blaze’s earlier question without looking back at him.
Just as his voice died down, a big commotion took place as people began to panic. It seed as though the things were starting to get heated.
Eclipse’s Order must be behind this. There was no other explanation behind this monstrous scream that could spread out to the whole city!
Many rcenaries were wandering around various cities in hopes of completing the task. So of the sensible gave up on the mission when they weighed the pros and cons.
But other hot-headed rcenaries wanted to court death. But there were hundreds of such people.
Hence, on the one hand, many people were screaming and running away from the direction of the shriek. And on the other, many of the rcenaries ran for the so-called ‘opportunity’.
Ozul and the duo also advanced towards the direction. However, compared to all those other rcenaries, Ozul’s team was relatively in a better condition even though the trio had just survived a massive explosion on a point-blank range.
The other rcenaries couldn’t be blad. None of them could afford the expenses nor the ti to advance both as a Fighter and a Mage!
Due to the city structures and the woods ahead, no one could see what the cause of the earlier scream was, but they were sure that it wasn’t sothing that they could take lightly.
Since Ozul’s team was on the other end of the city, it took them a while to reach the woods.
They could still notice so teams of the rcenaries advancing vigilantly.
However, just as they had entered the forest, many wild Magical Beasts started attacking them! It was not only their team, but everyone who entered the woods was facing a similar situation.
All the Beasts also had the sa red glow that Ozul had noticed on the previously controlled Beasts.
It only confird his earlier thoughts about Eclipse’s Order being behind the previous savage howl.
However, just as they were going to slaughter their way forward, sothing happened!
Suddenly, Ozul’s head began to throb! The head-splitting pain caused Ozul to stop as he fell on his knees, holding his head.
Ozul did not scream or yell for help, but it was apparent for Raven and Blaze to see that he was in pain.
They did not know what had abruptly happened to him. From childhood, Ozul had never suffered from any disease, much less a headache.
The pain did not stop, but Ozul had realized that sothing must be wrong with his ‘parts’! And the earlier scream could not be a coincidence!
At this point, he did not need so solid proof to know that at least one of his ‘parts’ is involved in this situation!
It felt as if Ozul did not hurry, he would lose a part of himself. He hurriedly gathered himself and stood up from the ground.
It was not the ti for dealing with so headaches. If Ozul did not hurry, he might never be ‘complete’ again!
Raven and Blaze were both worried about him, but Ozul did not let them question anything and began to advance again.
Ozul’s attitude, his expression, and his speed demonstrated that he was not going to take it easy this ti!
His ‘self’ was on the line. Ozul had never felt so much annoyed after the first ti that his ‘father’ had severed his limbs.
Several Rank-4 to Rank-5 Beasts ca in their way, but all of them were slaughtered without given any chance.
So many high ranking Beasts had caused all the rcenaries to take a step back. Only a few could advance by slipping from the sides.
‘tch... hurry...hurry...’- Ozul could not think of anything else other than to hurry to the place and save his ‘self’.
How naive had he been to think that no matter how much ti passed, his ‘parts’ would be safe and sound?
Raven and Blaze could not help but get worried when they saw Ozul like this. His expression did not show much, but his behaviour gave them many hints.
However, they could only assist him to the best of their ability.
Most of the rcenaries, who were fighting with the Beasts, were stunned to see the three teens advancing so casually into this ‘battlefield’.
The forest seed to be a battlefield between rcenaries and the Beasts if soone watched from the sidelines.
The chaos that ensued in the City had long spread to the woods.
Ozul followed by Raven and Blaze did not stop their movent. Each step Ozul took sent a jolting pain to his brain, but he did not even flinch anymore.
They ran forward for a couple of minutes before they finally began to see so change in the scenery.
However, what they faced first was not the change in the scenery but the horrible stench that invaded their senses!
