"Soleis One More Time!"
"Roger that Art."
*ROAARRRRRRRRRRR...
The light Elemental flew closer again to the Yellow Serpent and released another Flash.
*SHINNNGGGGGG.
'Okay let's go!'
Xarth ran up the Scales of the Yellow Serpent again but unfortunately, the Monster aggressively shifts its body toward the wall of the cave.
"AUGH!"
Xarth's body slams against the hard stone wall of the cave.
'AUGH! that hurts!'
As he still can't get up because of the pain he felt from that. The Yellow Serpent chose this opportunity to strike Xarth it cast it's Lightning strikes towards Xarth.
*BOOOOMMMMMM.....
The remanence of the lighting strikes was clearly seen on the spot where it had struck it but its target was nowhere to be found.
'Huu...That was close.'
*ROAAARRRRRRR
Xarth was hiding behind a large rock while still trembling from the pain.
'Damnit that caught me off guard I guess this monster has intelligence...either way how could I get out of this situation.'
Now's not the time to kill the Yellow Serpent as his body's condition isn't great so he chose to run away to escape death and live for another day.
'Hey, art why aren't you using Mana??'
"Huuuu...Huh!? What are...you talking about?'
'Wait a minute.'
The light Elemental circled Xarth with golden light his pain started to disappear as if it hadn't been there in the first place.
Xarth's eyes widen.
'Healing Magic? He can use it?'
"Hey, Soleis you can use healing magic."
'Of course, I have a ton of other abilities like defensive and offensive magic.'
"Then can you use it to strike that Monster?"
'No...you already have a high mana I think you could full it off using your own magic.'
"W-What but I don't know how?"
'You don't know how?? Well, I guess I'll help you close your eyes.'
Xarth proceeds and shuts his eyes.
'As I've said before when we form a contract between humans we are bonded both in body and mind. We could use the mana of the person we formed a contract with to cast spells as command of the Contactor, but if we were to refuse that command it means it's final. You can't argue with us if we didn't agree on doing a specific task that's our condition.
And well since I like you, I'll help you get you Mana out so I'll just go inside you and find the trigger.'
"What inside of me!?"
The light Elemental then suddenly vanish from Xarth's sight.
He could feel the flow of blood and his heartbeat beating loudly as if he had earphones on.
'What is this I can feel my heartbeat beating so loudly. '
*SHINNNGGGGGG.....
'Art I see it! your core! I'll adjust the flow of your mana to your core so you can use magic. '
Xarth's chest was emitting white gold light he could feel his heart heating up and his mind was slowly losing out of control. Then...
*BOOOOMMMMMM...
A large bomb-like explosion burst out the surroundings leaving a trace of a large hole on the floor, that loud sound can be heard throughout the room.
The two young men who were finished with their fight heard the loud sound coming from the right corner of the room. They hurriedly ran towards the explosion to see what had happened.
The place was a mess with the debris of rocks all spread out around the area even traces of lightning strikes can be seen throughout the walls of the room. They looked at the middle to only see a black Smokescreen that was hindering their vision as they were worried if something had happened to the Young master.
The Smokescreen slowly started to disperse they saw a large hole with the Young master in the middle sitting while unconscious.
They also saw an unbelievable sight of the Yellow Serpent.....You can't even tell if it was a Serpent anymore it's body was chopped to pieces. Chunks of it were all over the large hole gathering the attention of insects.
The eyes of the two young men widen at that moment they were left speechless at the unbelievable sight behold in front of them.
'What happened here!?'
'W-What happened here did Hyung-nim did this!??'
Ernoul ran towards the unconscious Young master he carefully yanked his arms and wrap them around his shoulder to support him out of the Underground Cave.
Zero returned the drunken blade in his scabbard and helped Ernoul to carry out the unconscious man.
Zero sneakily peeks at Xarth...
'What happened there? I suddenly heard a loud explosion so I came running to see what It was about, to think that I saw something unbelievable...Did he really did it all by himself!?
Xarth Barrows...Who are you!?'
Zero held Xarth's arms while thinking these thoughts.
They walked through the door and gone through where they've discovered the Three Statues they continue to walk down the hallway leading to the staircase. They proceed to climb up the stairs and made it out of the Underground Dungeon.
It was already in the afternoon.
They hurriedly carried Xarth's body through the forest to where they had set up the Campsite.
A man with blonde hair, blue eyes who gives off a majestic vibe looked over at the direction where they were coming out from. His eyes widen as he saw a man with Platinum hair with his head down weakly holding onto the shoulders of the two young man whose clothes were stained with blood and was in bad condition.
He hurriedly ran towards the two young men who were supporting the unconscious man, Of course, it was Xarth's older brother Harold his face was pale as a ghost when he saw his unconscious little brother in tattered clothing that is stained with blood.....Though it was not his Blood because the light Elemental safely made sure that he healed his Contactor.
"Xarth!? W-What happened!?"
"Sir they've helped me when I was in trouble."
"Huh!? What kind of trouble that a Swordmaster couldn't even handle!?"
"I-...."
"Young master Harold! I beg your forgiveness!" Ernoul interrupted.
".....!?"
"It's because I didn't guard the Young master well...Please punish me."
Harold examines Xarth's body he could see that there weren't any injuries or even a mere scratch on, he let out a sigh of relief and looked back at Ernoul with a calm gaze.
"No...it's fine, First let's take him to a comfortable area."
"Yes, Young Master."
Ernoul bowed his head
"Cairo!"
"Yes, Young Master?" Cairo's eyes widen at that moment "My...What happened to Young Masters Xarth!?"
"I don't know the details... but for now help him get Xarth to a comfortable area and also check on his condition report immediately if there's something wrong. "
"Of Course Young Master Harold."
"I won't be able to visit now but I will later for I have some important matters to attend to right now. And You what's your name?"
Harold pointed at Ernoul's direction.
"Oh, Young master I'm Ernoul."
"Okay, Sir Zero and Ernoul we'll discuss this matter later so you two should get your wounds treated first, and rest. I'll leave the treatment to Cairo, I'll come by later. "
"Alright." Zero responded as he looks straight at Harold's eyes.
"Then Young master Harold may we excuse ourselves."
Harold signaled them with his hands to go.
'Xarth you reckless brat...I should have argued with father to not have you come along with me. Hu...This is giving me another headache well I'll have to deal with the bandits first. So after that, I can check up on Xarth better finish writing that letter to Duke Lancaster.'
The three went ahead and gone into a tent Ernoul and Zero placed Xarth into a comfy bed. Cairo Harold's Butler changed Xarth clothes into more comfortable ones and even clean his body using a clean white wet cloth...After that, he went out and came back with a Spatial bag, he opened the Spatial bag full of medicinal herbs and used a clean cloth to disinfected the wounds on the unconscious man's body. After that, he also applied some medicinal herbs to treat Ernoul's and Zero's injuries.
"Thank you, Sir Cairo."
"I appreciate it."
"No need it's my obligation."
Cairo said with a smile on his face he then suddenly placed the glass bottle of medical herbs on the table.
*Thud
Ernoul flinch and headed his gaze towards the man in his mid-thirties.
"So...What happened?"
Cairo's gaze headed to the two young men as he asked in a Cold tone, his warm face disappeared like a mask that's covering the true colors of a person.
