Chapter 86: A Dead Enemy’s Final Gift
Cedric gains consciousness a few seconds later after the impact, and saw a confusing scene in front.
Luke’s giant body armour instantly changing, while he was turning back and runing away from the Rowan body, who was holding a glowing magic scroll is his hand.
’Wait... magic scroll?’ Cedric’s eyes widened, and he concentrated on the magic scroll and nearly felt his soul leaving his body. Because Rowan, with a smile, was holding an explosion-type magic scroll.
"Crazy!! How the hell did he get this level of magic scroll?" As he was cursing Rowan and his whole generation, while keep trying to stand up and run away from that lunatic. Who wants to take everyone with him.
He suddenly recalled the previous interaction with the Oryn. "You will need this..." Oryn gave something to Rowan.
On that time he got confused. ’But now its seems that Oryn gave him this magic scroll at that moment.’
"Damn it!" A curse again escaped his mouth recalling this and he instantly ran in the opposite direction from Luke’s.
WHOOSSH! But as he just start sprinting, one normal wooden arrow without any metal head suddenly came toward him from behind and impaled his leg to the ground. "UGHHHHH!" a pained grunt escaped his mouth and he cursed "Why now?"
With an ugly expression and a face filled with pain, Cedric forced himself to turn back.
There, he saw the blue-masked woman calmly lowering her bow, while Luke had already reached her side and grabbed her by the waist.
The next moment, Luke’s speed increased even further as he carried her away, leaving the area behind.
"Is this the end?" Cedric, with a lost voice, muttered because he tried to remove the arrow, and it didn’t budge at all. "I am going to die?" Fear finally appeared in his eyes when he remembered how fulfilling his life was, and now he is going to lose everything.
But then a face appeared in his mind, the same face. After he met it, everything went down, and now he is also going to die as well.
"I CURSE YOU, LUKE VOIDHEART!!!" Cedric shouted with all the strength left in his lungs in his final moments. Before the next instant—everything was swallowed by a blinding white light.
Luke, who was holding Vaelira by her waist, heard Cedric curse, but he didn’t slow down at all because his instinct was still screaming at him that danger was behind. And the next instant he felt the whole atmosphere tremble, and then an explosive shockwave came from behind.
But his speed was very fast and everything became blur for him, it’s so fast that even the shockwave wasn’t able to touch him. Few seconds later, he finally heard the sound, followed by the explosion.
BOOOOM!!!
He felt the surrounding ground tremble, while nearby trees shook violently because the explosion shockwave finally reached them.
Eventually the shockwave calm down and he released his titan form and took a deep breath to calm down, before turning back.
In the distance, where the explosion occured, a large crater has formed. Which is nearly 100 m wide and 2-3 m deep. Nothing remains in that area. Trees, stones, everything else had been completely vaporized by explosion.
"Is this the real golden knight attack?" Luke, with a little fearful expression, asked back toward everyone: Nyx, Myrkhal, Vaelira and the system.
Because when he earlier used the thunderfall attack, by overexploiting his aether and combining it with Nullex help. He thought he finally reached the Golden Knight attack level, but now seeing this, his confidence wavers fully.
[Luke, that explosion magic scroll attack was equal to peak golden knight full power and close to half diamond knight stage. In terms of raw power,] the system explained to him while trying to calm him down and told him not to get demotivated, because one day he will also be able reach that damage with just one swing of his hand.
"Ok," Luke nodded and replied with less demotivated voice. On which Vaelira gave her master a confusing glance. ’One moment he was talking to air, and then the next moment he said another thing.’
"Are you alright, master?" Vaelira came close to Luke and touched his forehead while asking worriedly. Thinking that maybe seeing the attack of this level has left him with trauma.
Luke, who had just got calm, suddenly got startled by a sudden touch and looked at Vaelira’s brown eyes, which now seemed a little worried about him.
Luke smiled at Vaelira and shook his head while telling her that he is all right. After that they found a place to rest for a while. Before they can plan for the journey again.
"Loot checking time." Luke muttered excitedly while looking toward the spatial ring which he got from Rowan’s hands. Sadly Cedric’s body, along with the ring, was lost in an earlier blast or else it would be more better.
Vaelira, from the side was trimming wood to make more arrows while leaning against the tree. though her partial attention was still on her master, and when she saw his excited expression a thought come into her mind. ’Does he like rings?’
Luke used his Aether to remove the imprint of Rowan before binding his Aether as a lock. After doing all this, he checked inside the ring and found out its size was 10 cubic metres.
It’s filled with silver and gold coins, while some health potions, Aether potion and stamina potion were also there.
Other than that, some spare clothes can also be seen and a few armours along with normal weapons without any grade. "It’s still good." Luke nodded with satisfaction, because something is better than nothing.
After that he counts the amount of coins, which were 10,000 silver coins and 1,000 gold coins.
"I am rich!" an excited exclaimation escaped his mouth and a big smile appeared on his face. Because from the moment Luke entered this secret realm and summoned Vaelira, he literally did not feel any life-threatening situation, except the situation with the magic explosion scroll earlier, and now finding even loot with that is really amazing.
Though, if Luke really finds out the hidden plans of demon whisper group, which is going to take everything from him, then he would not be that happy.
