Bo gaze continued to rest on Folke for sometime after that, The women beneath folke stopped struggling making folke let her go. It was clear that she had passed out from the lack of air she was receiving. Folke pulled his legs to one side of the girl and got up while picking up her own shorter sword. His face was dark and had unconcealed hatred toward the man on the tree. Even if he was weak and dying he couldn't change his emotions for Bo at all.
`You're one of the people who has made my life a living hell, ever since I was born you and him were there to bring me down. . . To beat me up until I had no choice but to work for you.` His grip on the grip of the sword tightened. It was noticeable to the ears . . . Bo back against the tree, looked up upon the looming figure of Folke who was now approaching him slowly.
Folke heard a familiar ding causing him to pause,`Host has completed main task, Side quest given.` The words started to form across his vision accompanied by the soothing and calm voice of the women. When the full message was read out an accompanying smaller message was also made.
`Eliminate your past.`
Folke breathed in cold air as he saw the notification, It meant that he could kill Bo which he was already going to do and profit off of it. But the whole entire sentence sounded wrong to him
`Isn't that a little too generalized for this?`
Folke's lack of movement was noticed by Bo who was now drifting in and out of consciousness. He didn't want to die but the image of the first warlord made it quite hard for him to move. He was fearful `Is he a relative of the great lord?` The very thought of this made him fearful. He could've beaten up and made the relative of the warlord a servant; it made him fear for his life even in the afterlife.
`Eliminate Your Past.` the voice continued inside of folke's mind instead, The words fading away one word at a time in his vision. It continued `Reward Adept Magic Stage technique for increasing power.`
`What do you-` He was cut off by the system.
`If host fails quest, Host will be killed by system and external forces.` The system sounded cold.
Folke stopped speaking and it was clear. Folke looked ahead and looked at the still breathing Bo, his face now solemn instead of the hatred he wanted. He was going to become worse than him when this is all over anyway so he couldn't carry on with vigor for the task laid in front of him.
Folke's foot sounded heavy against the dirt and soil, He knelt down in front of bo and looked at the dirty face of Bo with dirt and blood that seemingly clung to his face and armor. Bo felt a sharp pain in his throat and then he fell unconscious never to be woken again.
Folke after the battle tied up the living prisoners, and also looted the armor off of Bo it was very good and he also looked at the other armor worn by the enemies he fought and began to ponder if he should just add the armor on top of his chainmail since it would be provide better protection in the long run and it would aid him against the cold some more.
He also took the sword and shield of arne as it was in perfect condition and took his sword to since it was not used that much and was superior to the swords held by the enemies that he just fought. It was sharper and also longer than a shortsword.
While in the middle of putting on his new equipment, He looked at his prisoners and found that the man was the first to wake up.
He walked over to him and kicked him in the head to knock him out, with his newfound strength and how heavy he was at the moment with all that armor on him it made him a very decent monster to reckon with.
His head recoiled back and he was knocked out in an instant from the force of the kick sent to him. Folke looked at this newfound strength of his and smiled and then frowned as soon as he realized who he was about to use this newfound strength on. He used natural vegetation such as vines and other materials to tie up his prisoners but it was not assured that they could just force themselves out. He never had actually had the need to tie someone up.
He put on a sword belt and looked at the weapon he had taken from arne, The scabbard had many intertwining loops and a huge longboat on top of it for its decoration. He sheathed the sword in its scabbard and got a good look at the hilt and pommel of the sword. It had some inscription written on it but he didn't bother to look at it.
He then put the shield on his back and started to drag his two prisoners in the direction of his village.
