Even though Lily said this, deep inside her heart, she was still filled with fear. She didn''t want to die. But her brain knew the situation was hopeless.
At the very least, if she really had no other choice, she wanted her death to be meaningful.
"No, I won''t leave you. You did this for me before; now, I will do it for you."
Memories of the past surfaced in her mind; they were in a simr situation before, but the situation was reversed.
In one of their misfit adventures as teenagers.
At that time, they were out hunting for animals, but as they got too engrossed in hunting down their prey, they ended up entering an area filled with dangerous beasts that were far stronger than them.
At that time, Sasha was wounded, and Lily was the one carrying her.
Lily sighed. Just like ire, she knew how hard-headed Sasha could be. Her spear started glowing once more.
Lily squeezed all the power she had left, creating wind under Sasha''s legs. "Fine, keep your mind calm then, Sasha, don''t get surprised."
After saying this, the wind exploded, propelling them into the air.
BAM! BAM!
Both of the sticks hit empty ground. Looking at them escaping toward the chariot, they didn''t feel worried at all.
They didn''t n to let the chariot getaway. Golden dust started spreading from their bodies.
Seeing the golden glow, William knew it wouldn''t be anything good.
Right now, Roxy had alreadye out of the. He changed the cannon ammunition, then targeted it toward the empty ground in the middle of the elite squad.
Bang! The Cannon shot.
Seeing the projectile, the man with the stick in his hand moved; his body was now covered with golden dust, effectively augmenting his speed.
This allowed him to hit the projectile before it even hit. But William didn''t feel worried about it.
This one was set to explode the moment it felt any impact.
Boom! It blew up, releasing ck smoke in the surrounding area.
The smoke not only hindered their view but also assaulted their noses, making them runny. Their exposed skin also got irritated.
The same thing happened to Sasha and Lily the moment theynded back on the ground. This time, thending was not smooth; both of them rolled on the ground until they crashed into the chariot.
Roxy was already prepared with the smoke; she held her breath while forcing her eyes to stay open. She then helped Roxy and Sasha to enter the chariot while William coughed non-stop.
But this cough didn''t stop William from starting the chariot.
The moment the door closed, the chariot started to float and move toward ire''s mansion.
Feeling the chariot moving made Lily feel relieved; she was now lying on the seat, coughing with red eyes and a nose filled with snot. But unfortunately, her relief onlysted for a moment.
BAM! ?+??αп$κ?-??&я-г?&ɑ?#?п#?-σ@?-?М???ε%М??г
A loud noise reverberated in the air; Lily''s world turned many times over. It was like being inside a car that then got crashed by a truck driven at high speed.
The chariot''s front bent and got destroyed, allowing them to directly see the sky. The metallic shards flew everywhere, while the crystal that was used as the chariot''s base turned into sharp metal, bing a danger for the passengers inside.
Bang! The chariotnded on the ground, destroying it even further. Not far from it, one of the elite squadnded, holding a big hammer, while his body and head were glowing, sprinkled with golden dust.
Despite his massive strength and big weapon, his fairy dust allowed him to cure afflictions, refreshing someone''s condition anew.
It sounds very good, but in reality, his ability is very limited. It only allows him to cure small afflictions, like a cough, relieve fever, and heal a runny nose.
This made him often underestimated by hisrades since his ability was useless in realbat. This is the first time his abilities shine, making him feel smug.
Unfortunately, his smugness made him excited, which, in turn, made him hit with all his strength.
Seeing the result of his attack now made him quickly feel worried.
The rest of the squad couldn''t see what happened since the smoke still irritated their eyes. Some forced themselves to see only to end up closing them again; the only reason Roxy could do this is that she had often trained her eyes, building up some resistance to it.
William felt pain all over his body, but this time, he was thankful for theyer of fat covering him. He could feel many sharp objects stabbing at his flesh, but none reached his internal organs.
His mind was fuzzy, his ears ringing. In the midst of this, a muffled, warm voice reached his ears.
It was like a light at the end of a darkbyrinth. Unfortunately, the light was not something he liked; the light was something that would mark the turning point of his life.
rity started returning to his mind. His eyes opened, seeing many blurry lines. But it quickly became clear as he heard a familiar voice.
"Thank God you are alright, young master. Cough," Roxy said with a heavy breath and a raspy voice.
Her face was painted with ash and blood; some of the skin on her cheek was scraped, making her look disfigured, but for William, this all didn''t matter.
He smiled as the first face he saw was someone important to him. But it quickly changed as he realized something wasing out from Roxy''s chest.
Not just one or two; there were four sharp crystal tubes piercing through her vital organs.
At her back, William could see part of the chariot''s roof.
It was clear she was protecting him when their chariot crashed. She was holding all of this to make sure the sharp parts didn''t hit him.
Ba-Dum! Ba-Dum! Ba-Dum!
His heart beat loudly from his chest. It felt like it was being crushed right now; the pain was unbearable.
William felt like his world was crashing down.
The sentinel? Felidaens?
The king''s n to be the real king? Being surrounded by the enemy?
His dream for azy, peaceful life?
All of this didn''t matter.
