Irene prepared an energy spear to throw in case Lucian was injured. She can't risk their precious damage dealer hurt. But she had to hold herself from fighting, reminding herself, ' This is for Lucina's training. '
Selena touched Irene's shoulder to get her attention. " Irene, you shouldn't active your ability too soon."
Irene tilted her head slightly with a confused look in her eyes. " Why?"
Selena pointed at herself and said, " because you have me. I specialized in long-range attacks. And with Kyla's barrier skills, Lucian is safe."
Irene thought for a moment and nodded. She retracts her energy. Wilfrid said to Lucian who is looking rather shady, " Now, Lucian, jump. Reynard trapped all the monsters with the wall."
Without answering, Lucian jumped toward the top of the wall, followed by Irene.
Selena and Kyla can use their skill to see past the wall. By the time Irene reached the top, Lucian was already fighting. She looks at him.
Suddenly, cold sweat slowly starts to form on her back. She feels extreme killing intent from Lucian. His body is covered by black energy with a slightly red colour.
It seems like demon energy but she knows that it is just normal energy. But normally Lucian's aura is blue like the rest of them. And the energy intensity in him was getting higher.
As if the energy were being compressed. Lucian's sword glows darker, with a black spark forming. The light around him seems to run away from him.
He disappeared from her view. As she wondered how he disappeared, the wolves roar with agony. After a few seconds passed, she witnesses Lucian wiping the blood from his sword.
" Huh. What just happen?", she murmured.
After looking down at the wolves, she noticed that all the wolves are dead except the wolf leader.
She begins to worry, Lucian's strange behaviour concerned her. He is acting act out of character. He pointed the sword at the wolf and said, " Hey trash, did you see how I kill your pathetic race?"
The wolf was angered even though he couldn't understand what he is saying his instinct know that he is talking badly to him. The wolf charged at Lucian.
But Lucian just sidestepped and punched the jaw of the wolf with a black lightning-coated punch. The jaw is dislocated and blood is dripping. It was the perfect punch, the way he use force from the leg to his fist.
The wolf steps back. Now, he tastes the strength of the human in front of him. Lucian looked at his fist now torn apart by the force he emitted. " I need to strengthen my body. "
Irene was stunned, a week ago he doesn't have the power to punch this wolf. The strength he show now was unbelievable, without seeing it in person she doesn't believe that a person can improve this much in one week.
she shakes her head,' No he trains in three days. So this is why they call people like him abnormalities. '
Lucian released the lightning to the ground, it splashes around. It seems that the wolf was touched by lightning, it was stunned. Lucian slowly walked toward the wolf with a smile on his face.
He stabs at the wolf's eye. The wolf cried in agony. It can't move so it just expresses the pain with voice. Hearing, the wolf cry, Lucian feels even more desire to hurt.
He stabs at another eye, limbs and finally heart killing the wolf in the worst way possible. His face is emotionless, a bored face.
Irene feels a chill run down her smile looking at Lucian. Lucian moved his head left and right, scanning his surroundings. Just as Irene decided to go back to the team, their eyes meet.
Lucian waved at her with a smile and yelled at her, " I am finished. Let's go to can't another place." Irene nodded, she doesn't have the strength to reply.
I looked at the corpse. It was fun at first but eventually, I feel annoyed. How did I lose to this kind of monster? Unbelievable.
I looked around the corpse and my sword dripping blood. I sighed. I know I made Irene scared. I don't why but my fighting instinct overwhelmed me. Just like last time.
Lost control over energy? But I don't have any stress or pressure. I focus my hand and a white spark forms. Normal.
I felt a slight pain in my heart during the black lightning state but the power was an addiction. I want to use that lightning again.
I shake my head, I blow some air from my lungs. Soon, the wall around me fall. The dust forms blocking his vision but he feels five familiar energy walking toward his direction.
Selena said with a surprised look, " I don't know you will be that strong."
I smiled without an answer. Reynard nodded. Wilfrid looked around and pointed in a certain direction. " We will go to that place."
All of us nodded. Irene is evading his eyes.
We moved to the place with Reynard in front of us.
AHN.
An ear-piercing howl suddenly arose, but this was not quite like thunder. But this sound is hurting my eardrums. I feel a slight pain but I don't like it.
" Reynard makes the pillar," I said while looking up towards the sky.
Reynard immediately cast the skill. Soon, a massive pillar emerges from my feet. The bird was big. Its body was around twenty meters long, like a huge bus, and the feathers on its body had a metallic lustre.
The bird dodged the pillar but I already reach its neck. With my speed, it was not hard to jump. I take out the sword, Strengthen and Lightning.
With my two abilities active, I slashed the sword full force. The sword easily cut throw the bird, decapitating it like butter.
Without any support, I was falling because of gravity. The wind picks up my body, gently placing me on the ground. It was Selena's spell.
The corpse was thrown away by Reynard's earth pillar.
" I suggest that we should go back to the camp," said Wilfrid.
Irene asked, " Why?"
" The sun is about to set, if we don't go now we will have to sleep in here. "
Hearing the reply, Irene nodded. I nodded as well.
On camp, I was thinking about how to solve the air combat style. I don't have good luck against height.
' I wish I have gravity manipulation. '
As I was daydreaming, I feel the hot stream touching his arm. I look at it and saw soup. Irene is handing me a bowl of soup.
I said, " Oh. Thanks."
" No problem."
The others were eating in their respective area. Reynard eating on the tree. Wilfrid is setting the trap. Selena and Kyla were bathing in the river.
So there are only the two of us sharing a meal quietly.
I open my mouth and sighed. Placing the bowl on the rock table.
I said without looking into her eyes, " Irene, what do you know about me?"
