There were strikes of lightning everywhere and it started to rain . putting out the fire in the lawn . Though it didn't bother us much . Even some of the loghtning strikes landed on the ground .
During my fight with Lance . He was countering my every move even all my skills were becoming useless before his armor . I just managed to land 2 hits and penetrate his armor . But it didn't make much of a difference .
But all of a sudden my speed started increasing and i started feeling less tired . While the shine from his armor was diminishing . I didn't have a clear clue about what was going on but it is good that it worked out in my favour .
Soon it was a matter of time when my spear his heart . while his Lance merely scatched me .
And Lance was on his knees . With the spear of successor in his heart .
Lance : I I I I I lost . You have bested an old man like me . I can't believe it . I can't die that easily .
Coughs blood .
With heavy and loud steps a girl with a girl with Silver hair and golden yellow eyes . She was wearing a simple white dress . She was so beautiful she could be said that she was made by God . She was so angry it could be seen by just looking at her face . But her face only showed slight anger . So elegant .
Lance : Grace how are you here .
She raised her hand up and clouds started to gather at one place . And she waved her hand down and lightning struck Lance .
He eas hit with millions of volts but was still alive .
Jay : Wait wait wait you can't kill him yet .
She refused to listen and prepared another lightning strike . I shielded Lance this time by taking the strike upon myself .
Grace : Why you must stop me .
Jay : Even though we both want to kill him just wait till i get my answers .
Grace : I will give you exactly 5 minuted starting now .
I turn towards Lance and start asking for answers while McElroy and Terry run towards us .
Jay : Why did you want to sacrificr Grace .
Lance : It was to prevent the prophecy from becoming true .
Jay : Which prophecy ?
Lance : Can't you see it has already begun . Strange beasts appearing. Mana apperaing out of nowhere . All of the races acting out of place . for no reason . We wanted to stop it .
Jay : What is the prophecy .
Lance :The day when the gate buster arrives from the gate there will be a final battle between two divine forces
During that time the gate buster will shine as a beacon for both of them . The one who shall have him shall win in the end .
Jay :
What does it has to do with sacrificing Grace .
Duke :
She needs to be the one who take the place of the gatebuster if he joins the opposition.
And one more thing i wasn't lying or trying to puts discord between your relationship when i said that you should stay away from McElroy.
Grace: 5 minutes are over .
And Lance was struck with lightning once again this time killing him .
Jay : Why did you kill him i wanted to ask him more .
Grave : Should i kill you too then .
I removed my spear from his heart .
Jay : Try it .
I readied my stance to counter her attack .
Terry : Both of you please stop .
After she saw Terry her rage was gone in an instant . And she even started crying .
Grace : You are still alive . I thought u you
Terry : shhh shhh let's not go there for now .
Terry hughed her . And comforted her . It was a truly classic romance scene .
Quest completed : Kill the duke
Reward : Chestplate of the saint . Badge of the saint .
