BXBX NOVEL Chapter 68
Soon, Leon’s figure blurred. He sprinted at an inhuman speed. A human’s naked eye can only see his blurry figure
“Cough! Cough!”
Not that far from Leon, Claude can be seen. His face was terribly pale and his lips were tainted with fresh blood
His feet were moving at a fast speed as he constantly coughed out blood. His soul was aching and he don’t even have enough strength to cast spells anymore
His [Shadow Suit] was automatically deactivated moments ago. He was only relying on his physical abilities now to run as fast as possible
However, even if Claude was physically stronger than normal humans, the mage path still lacks in the physical department
Without the support of spells, Claude definitely couldn’t outrun the General that was still at his peak
As expected, it didn’t that that long before Claude can see Leon again
His eyes flickered with undeniable rage. Why is it that in this clash, the ones that are harming the people is the one that would probably survive?
Claude doesn’t think that he is a good person as he always dirtied his hands for the sake of his own morals
However, he still thinks that he was better that this vile human
Despite the aching in his soul, Claude still recalled his wind-type mystic gem to forcefully cast a spell since he can see Leon throwing another punch at him
“[Wind Funnel!]”
Claude stretched his hand out and he conjured a magic circle that releases winds that tried to push Leon away but it didn’t work
The spell merely slowed down Leon but he still advance until he arrived in front of Claude
The General threw another fiery lion’s head punch and Claude gritted his teeth as he tried to use his spell to lessen the damage he would receive
Even then, Claude’s body was still thrown far away. The impact of a punch from a 6th fusion rank mage was terrible and Claude’s body flew like an arrow
His body was thrown in the air, traveling at a bullet speed. His eyesight blurred, one of his arms completely broken and dangling
His chest also caved in a bit as if the slightest bit of force would puncture his heart
This enough damage is enough for a person to die but strangely enough, Claude was still burning with living intent
He doesn’t what to die yet and absolutely not in the hands of a traitor to humanity
It shouldn’t be the one that was trying to do good that would die, it should be the ones that committed the most hideous crimes
Claude’s eyes flickered. If he were to fall from this height, there is no doubt that his body would turn into a meat paste
He can’t let himself fall like that. He has to struggle for as long as he could in hopes that the reinforcements would arrive on time not only to save him but also to kill or arrest the traitor
Claude’s wind-type gem resonates with the natural laws again. Before he really fell, he conjured another magic circle
“[Breeze!]”
Because of Claude’s current state, his [Breeze] spell was pitifully weak
He tried to prevent himself from getting hurt any further but his spell’s effect was pitifully low
It did lessen the fall’s impact but in the end, Claude was still harmed
He felt some of his bones breaking and even his head bled causing his vision to blur even further
Claude can feel himself losing consciousness. He was bleeding in more than one place
The amount of blood that he lost was already at a dangerous level
“Ayoo!! What the hell?! Why is a man suddenly falling from the sky?!”
Just before Claude can lose his consciousness, he suddenly heard a familiar voice
That voice… that is the voice of Rezen… the talented junior that helped him in the past
Claude was not wrong with his recognition as in the next second, Rezen’s face appeared in his blurry vision
“B-Brother Claude? S-shit what happened to you?! Why are you in this state and why are you still handsome?! This is unfair!” Rezen cried out
He just finished asking his system a question when a man suddenly fell on his farm
Why is it always men? Why can’t it be a woman? Rezen swears that this world seems to have a plan for him that may or may not be to his liking
Rezen waved his hand, almost forgetting to help the dying man before assaulting him with his words
A recovery pill appeared on Rezen’s palm, he was about to feed it to Claude when the man suddenly burst with power again
Rezen’s hand was suddenly held by Claude’s bloody one as the latter did his best to speak
No matter what, Claude cannot let an innocent civilian die all because of him. He knew that Leon would soon arrive here to kill him
If Leon also saw Rezen then there is no doubt that he would also kill him
This matter is entirely because of Claude’s doing. He thinks that there were moles in the military and he decided to investigate on his own
He even tortured Ellery with his spell even though he merely has some suspicions
If Claude didn’t do anything, Rezen’s life would not be in danger right now
“R-Rezen… cough” Claude called out before he threw up blood again
“Hey…”
“R-run…”
“Wait”
“D-danger…”
“Listen first”
“G-go…”
“As I was saying!”
Rezen suddenly got a sense of Deja Vu. He felt like he encountered a similar scenario. A scene where he was trying to feed someone a recovery pill to save their life but then that person even on the brink of death is still being talkative
Why can’t they just keep quiet and listen to Rezen first? He is not a doctor, especially not a quack one but he has his system’s recovery pills, alright?
These things are miraculous that can be used on any type of wound and even has a great dermatological effect!
Can’t they see how Rezen is practically glowing these days? That was because his skin is always put in its best condition thanks to the recovery pill!
Boom!!
Before Rezen can even feed the dying man the recovery pill, a certain intruder already arrived
The ground cracked from Leon’s arrival and the eleven artificial humans including Zero made their move
Their tattoos covered their bodies, resonating with the elements of the world
Their physical stats rose levels higher than before and they didn’t hesitate to attack
They can feel the threatening aura coming from Leon and they knew that their master would be in danger because of this person’s arrival
However, before they can even land at least a single attack, Leon already cast a spell
“[Lion’s Roar!]”
The General opened his mouth, an orange magic circle appeared as he roared at the artificial humans
All of these Tattoo Warriors were at the 3rd rank but they weren’t even able to do anything
The artificial humans stops in their tracks, their bodies shook before their eyes widened
They bled on their seven orifices and fell down. They have the numerical advantage but because there were three ranks difference in power, they were nothing but ants in front of Leon
“Noooo!!!!” Rezen cried out after seeing what happened to his subordinates
They might not have many memories but they are still his subordinates! Not to mention, those eleven are artificial humans but they also have their own feelings and thoughts even if they treat Rezen as the most important part of their life
They are not someone that Rezen wants to be put in harm!
“Don’t worry, I originally planned on killing them but seeing that they are actually Tattoo Warriors, I changed my mind, Her Majesty might like them. They are after all rare” Leon said with a sneer and Rezen felt at least a bit better since his people were not killed
“L-Leon, f-fucking traitor. Y-you are s-still a G-General once… d-don’t i-involve the civilians on t-this!” Claude forced out
He was already on the brink of death yet he was suddenly filled with power again as if death cannot take him
He was like a cockroach that is hard to kill no matter how bad their state was
“G-General?” Rezen was stunned. He doesn’t know much but he still knows that to be a General in the military, one must be at the 6th fusion rank
Even if Rezen is multiplied by a thousand times, he is still nothing. At most, a single AoE spell would be enough to kill him over and over again
This discovery causes all the hair on Rezen’s body to stand up. This was the most dangerous experience that he had ever been in his life!
It’s like he was constantly being pushed into situations that would endanger his life. The level of danger even rose with every encounter
What the hell is wrong with his shitty luck?
