I walked beside Claudia, she was still grabbing my hand. I was feeling uncomfortable right now. I was about to ask her to let it go, but as i look at her eyes i take back my word. In her eyes were despair, it seems she really is depressed.
We continuously walk for over 2 hour. As we were walking, i was looking at the thing right in front of my eyes. I noticed 2 thing after all that happened to me.
First, this thing, it gave me some sort of mission, which if i complete it i will get some kind of reward? Yeah something like that.
Second, The reward from completing the mission that was given to me, it was mostly an ability. And i can also use that ability if think about using it, and that is pretty cool to me.
"We're here."
I snap back to reality, looking at Claudia beside me. I look at the road infront of us, there were blood puddle. Yeah this is the place...
Thud!
I could feel Claudia's hand were trembling. Yeah that's normal, since my leg were also trembling. I still recall the time my body got flung across just because of the goblin sword.
[Host mental is shaking!]
[Activating Heart Of Paladin.]
Thanks weird thing, i owe you for that. Maybe i should give this guy a name. I can't keep calling him 'weird thing.'
My trembling stopped, i resolved my courage and went inside the room. As Claudia who was holding my hand followed me from behind. But her hand was still trembling.
I enter the room. Yeah, just expected he's still there. The goblin was standing still, not moving a single step. He noticed my presence. He then pull his sword from the ground.
"Kuogh!!!"
I quickly leaped to the side, dodging it's attack. The goblin look at me, i could tell he was mad because of before. He continously attack me. I keep dodging his attack, trying to make his stamina ran out.
I keep dodging, dodging, and dodging, until i look at the ceiling above.
'Ahhh, i slipped.'
Plak!
The sword hit me right in my body. The impact make my body flew across the ground. Smashing my body against the wall.
Crack!
I look at my body, there was a small crack. Yeah, my body can't deal with that kind of impact. The goblin slowly approached me. I could see he was smiling, that bastard.
I slowly stand up.
'Time to try this, i hope it work.'
[Activating Blaze(Low)]
Flame began enveloping my body. I pick up my sword. The flame enveloped the sword aswell. I look at the goblin, his body was trembling.
'Where's that big smile from before huh, you bastard.'
My whole body feel really hot. I can't do this for long. I know my body will be burned to ash if i use this ability for a long time.
'That's why.'
I jump toward the goblin knight, while raising my sword.
Clank!
The goblin knight block my attack, but i know i'm still at the upper hand. He deflected my attack, i took a few step back before charging in one more time.
Clank! Clank!
Sound of sword clashing could be heard multiple time. I keep attacking him, not giving him any chance for counter attack. Right now i am pressuring him.
'How does it feel huh? Is it hot in here? Im glad if it is, for you that is.'
I keep attacking him nonstop, before my attack finally reached his right arm. My flaming sword pierced through his knight armor, Cutting his arm down.
"KUORGHHHHH!"
The goblin knight look at me, i see fear in his eyes. He look around, noticing Claudia in the distance. He rushed toward Claudia.
'Wait, that coward!'
I tried to catch up to him. But it was too late, he was already really close to Claudia i might not make it.
I look at Claudia figure,
'Wait what is that thing on the ground right before her?'
There was a blue circle on the ground infront of her. She then look at me, while smiling.
"Thanks for giving me enough time, Mr Skeleton."
'Huh?'
"The icy wind, frozen ground, everything is cold, and that is perfect, all earth shall be cold, All earth shall be covered in ice! Ice Age!"
As Claudia said that out loud, ice quickly spread out across the entire room. Freezing the Goblin Knight.
'That was close.'
Good thing to know that Claudia is fine. But, why did i got frozen aswell? Is it because i'm a monster? Wait what? There's no way.
Yeah it was just a fluke that the ice freeze me aswell. As i was frozen, my flame also got got taken down huh, alright that's new.
[Activating Blaze(Low)]
Flame came out of my body, melting the ice that froze me. I grab my sword and quickly sliced the goblin knight's head off.
[Deactivating Blaze(Low)]
The fire in my body slowly dissappear. I took a deep breath and let it out, even though i have no lung.
"You know, he's already death when i froze him. There's really no need to slice his head off."
I turned my attention to Claudia. I quickly write something on the frozen ground with my sword.
'Just in case.'
"Haa, alright i get it."
She sighed, while still looking at me. Well yeah, i want to play it safe. After all, there are possible outcome that he is still alive. Oh yeah i almost forgot. I poked Claudia shoulder.
"What is it?"
I quickly start writing.
'Friend Body Bury.'
Yeah she should know what i mean right. Even though the one in this room can't be saved because it got eaten by this coward. The one on the outside can still be recovered right? I point my finger toward the exit.
"Oh yeah, you're right...."
She look down at the ground. Tears slowly fall down from her eyes. Yeah she's still sad, But atleast she got revenge for them. I hug her, as i hugged her, i could feel her body was a little bit startled.
'Yeah im not good with people emotion, but atleast this will help her..'
She then wrap her arm around my body. I could hear her sobbing noise. I could feel the warm of her body. Maybe this is better for her, to make her become a stronger person.
