Lenus felt fear from the beginning of the mission, but not now. After seeing the butchered bodies of his friends, his fear disappeared and was replaced by anger and rage. What was the use of fear and avoidance for him?
Even though Lenus was under a lot of stress and some of his bones were broken, he still wanted to move, run, fight and avenge his friends. However, every time he attacked, it was as if he hit a big and thick wall; A wall that could not be crossed was crossed. Every time he put an arrow in the quiver of the bow and released it, the arrow hit the stone. He tried many times and suffered a lot of pain, but it was still useless.
In addition, the careless orcs who were busy searching the hall and did not look at him, made Lenus angry.
The boy wizard gritted his teeth but could no longer scream. Little by little, he was able to reach his limit. The pressure waves did not waver even the slightest and easily countered him. As if all his struggles and efforts were useless.
Lenus was now facing a huge obstacle that he felt he could not overcome. Gradually, his floundering stopped and he remained motionless like a marionette. His head was hanging like the rest of his body and more blood was flowing from his eyes and mouth.
With the cessation of his struggles, the pressure subsided. The amount of pressure was enough to just keep him suspended in the air. However, that didn't mean he had more leeway if he tried again.
As his somewhat hazy gaze turned to the ground, he saw his blood flowing into the grooves of the spiraling circular pattern carved into the platform. It was then that Lenus noticed his bleeding. Then he looked at his body, which was covered with wounds, and from each wound, a narrow strip of blood made its way to the tip of his foot and then to the ground.
Now it was time for fear to replace anger. Lenus' subconscious mind, which had thought anger useless, now turned to fear to vent Lenus' emotions. His body went with this flow.
After a moment of silence, fear ran through Lenus' whole body. His body was shaking and losing more blood. His eyes were burning from dehydration and his trembling teeth were about to bite his tongue.
This situation did not last long and Lenus entered a trance; He no longer knew who he was, where he was, what he was doing, what had happened and in what condition he was. His mind was numb and he couldn't process even the smallest of thoughts.
When Lenus was in this state, the pressure carried his bloodied body to the side of the platform, closer to the gruesome sight of Selena, Kevin, and Robert being slaughtered, and dropped him on the floor. The weak and wounded body of Lenus fell to the ground again, but the flow of his lost blood continued in the grooves of the pattern on the platform.
As his blood stream gradually spread across the platform, he barely tilted his head to see the lifeless bodies of his friends. Although the blood prevented him from seeing properly and his eyes were black, he was able to see his friends to some extent; Of course, for the last time.
Even though Lenus was not in a balanced state and his soul was spending the last minutes of his stay in the body and in this world, he was able to have a little conversation with himself and inside himself; Whispers of farewell and separation.
- I always had the fear of death, but now I understand it very well, even though it is the first and last time I experience it. I wanted to do many things, but it seems that there is no more time. Goodbye my friends, Goodbye Mother, Goodbye Venus and Goodbye... Helen...
When he unconsciously uttered his last word in contrast to his previous words, the two streams of blood joined in the middle of the circular grooved pattern and the 6 statues that were around the platform turned the color of the lantern above the platform. Every moment that passed, the intensity of the red light from the statues, especially their mouths, increased and the fence became more fragile.
At this moment, the orcs outside the fence first noticed the shaking of the ground and the pillars of the hall, and then all their attention was directed towards the platform. The leader of the orcs, who was greatly surprised and angry by this incident, began to growl and shout that such a sound and vibration could come from the empty platform.
He knew that there were four adventurers in this hall, and by killing three of them, the fourth one was hiding somewhere, but there was no possibility that the fence on the platform would prevent him from seeing what was on the platform. Therefore, he took the lead and ran towards the platform, but as soon as he reached the steps of the platform, the cracked fence exploded and threw him and the surrounding orcs back.
At this time, a strong light shone from the platform to the lantern and lit up the entire purple hall. The light was so intense that the orcs could not resist even though they had covered their eyes and were on the verge of going blind.
At the same time as the platform's red light radiated to the crystal, the statues also changed their direction of radiation from the platform to the lamp and started emitting more radiation. The crystal also collected the radiated rays and concentrated them in one point.
Gradually, this situation continued until all the lights, while they were at their peak, began to weaken with the appearance of a black spot in the middle of the lamp. With the weakening of the rays, the black dot became bolder and bigger and instantly fell on the lifeless body of Lenus.
As a black mass descended on Lenus's body and sunk into his body, the bright lights turned off completely and the purple hall returned to its original state. The six statues were also extinguished like crystal, and no light shone from them. The crystal lights that were attached to the huge pillars of the hall were also broken during the light, and the whole hall was plunged into absolute darkness.
The hall was silent for a while, until the leader of the orcs, as the first creature to stir in the hall, barely stood up. He rubbed his eyes and snorted to show the hurt that the light had caused to his eyes. However, when he opened his eyes, he could see nothing.
He looked around in confusion but still found nothing. However, his instincts told him that a dangerous creature awaited him, and that the other orcs were alive and breathing but unable to move.
While he was curiously and confusedly walking around, a red glow from the crystal shone on the platform and stood out in the middle of the dark hall. The pillar of light directly hit the body of Lenus and engulfed him.
A few minutes later, Lenus's body shook and he stood on his feet with the help of red light. Even though the orc saw Lenus standing up, he still couldn't see his face. Suddenly, the leader of the orcs remembered what he had come here for and rushed to the platform.
While running and roaring, he pulled out a spear from the ground and aimed it at Lenus. Just as the huge orc approached the platform, he saw Lenus' head rise up and his eyes glow with a blaze of crimson light.
When the orc's large, malevolent eyes lined up with Lenus' bright, slightly bloodshot eyes, the orc saw the dark glint in Lenus's eye and instantly blinked. While he was two steps away from Lenus, he stopped and lost his deep gaze.
Suddenly, the yellow color of his pupils changed and turned black. His hands loosened and he fell to the ground. Then, in front of the eyes of the rest of the orcs who had just gotten up, he had a spear in his hand and plunged it into his heart.
The orcs stared at him and Lenus in surprise as the blood of the orcs poured out and the spear stuck out from his back. They never believed that their powerful leader would end his life like this.
