Chapter 4 - A new path

Astro was impressed by the battle, whoever that girl is, she's not a nobody, that was a high level technique she used and it probably drained a lot of her mental and physical strength, on the other hand, the beast still looks as powerful and energetic as ever.

In fact despite not having hands, it still activated an ability called "Last blood" it increased it's attributes by a high margin, using the beasts life force as fuel. With red eyes, the beast charged forward once more, planning to slam or skewer the girl with it's mighty horns. 

The girl, too exhausted to dodge, decided to block with her sword, but the power behind the attack sent her flying, crashing through 4 trees before she finally stopped, as she slid down the tree, she coughed out blood, she could feel her whole body hurt but the Minotaur didn't give her time to rest as it charged at her once again, intending on ending it this time.

Seeing this, the girl got up, she started sending mana to her sword, because she still has a lot of it remaining, sending enough mana that her sword started to glow with lightning, and with lightning speed, she threw the sword like a spear towards the Minotaur's chest, stabbing it straight through the heart while using its own momentum to increase the effectiveness of the strike. 

Boom! 

The strike was a powerful one, it managed to stop the beast for a second, but It was already dying, so releasing it's last roar, it continued its charge, ready to skewer the girl in front of it. 

Looking at the beast, heading towards her, at full speed, Enya Blade, wasn't afraid but only regretted the fact, she won't be alive to kill those royal bastards with her own hands, she simply close her eyes, waiting for her demise.

Just as it was about to pierce her with it's horns, the Minotaur completely froze in place unable to move, even the air around it stopped moving, a hand appeared, pulling the sword from it's chest, and a few seconds later, the light in its eyes faded away. 

"That was a close call, you almost died, you're welcome". Astro with sword in hand, stated with a small smile. The girl looked at him in surprise, she opened her mouth, attempting to speak but she suddenly collapsed on the floor, unconscious. 

'Now what, should I leave her here? Obviously she'll die if I do so'. 

'Leave her, she's not our responsibility, you saved her life once, no need to do it again'. 

'Of course you'd say something like that, but I am feeling good and my mind is at peace, probably because of that flower field, I finally feel like myself again, I'll help her, since I'm in a good mood'. 

'Fool'. 

'Shut up'. 

I should continue looking for a cave to stay for the night, not to mention the night is slowly creeping in. Picking up the girl from the ground, placing her on his shoulder, with sword in hand, he started to move again, this time he completely avoided using teleportation as it might have a negative effect on the unconscious girl.

Looking up at the night sky and the stars that braced it's vastness, Astro felt at peace and at home. 'I should go there one day'.

Space, infinite and boundless, weightless yet can carry so much, he thought if he went there, he might find some answers about his existence, his reincarnation and his power.

During his life on the planet called earth, his brain developed a different personality, one that would be able to survive through the storms and overcome any adversity, his real personality was breaking under the abuse of his foster parents, that's when " he" was born, he was nothing but pure evil no different from his foster parents, the things he did are better left unspoken. 

Shaking his head 'Now is not the time for self reflection, i nee to find a cave soon'. 

30 mins later he found a cave entrance, big enough for two people to walk side by side, and walking in, he found it was fairly big on the inside and it was beautiful because of the natural crystals on the walls. 

Placing the girl on a bed of leaves, he set down thinking 'The world of magic is beautiful'.
