Chapter 184 - Unexpected Arrival.
Chapter 184 - Unexpected Arrival.
John was much faster and stronger than before, he was becoming less human.
Along with the fact that he was less lenient and no longer pulled back his punches.
Master Sylvia leapt straight him from the front trying to knee him in the chest, but to this he simply grabbed on to her leg before trying to slam her down
The moment he motioned it, Master Sylvia vanished behind him, but when she did, he also vanished behind her before slamming her on to the ground.
She got up clearly shaken due to her injuries, but he knocked her off balance before motioning his hand to slam her down.
The pattern on her hand suddenly got thicker as she grabbed on to his arm before twisting it and breaking it while she bent back.
But a little bit of steam was let out before his arm twisted back into place. In that moment, he vanished behind her, and when she turned around to stop him, she was kneed in the back, before he reappeared again and slammed her down from above
Master Sylvia laid broken down on the floor. Unlike John she didn't have any healing moves, Just simply her will and persistence.
But her body was well past her limit, there was no point in increasing in strength or speed when the wound would only slow you down
Not to mention hit hurt like hell too.
As she starting getting up, she noticed that she wasn't coughing out more blood than normal. When she looked down to her stomach to see why, she noticed that the wound opened.
"I'm sure you already know this but, if you keep fighting whilst in that state, you'll die."
However Master Sylvia didn't stop
"Mind your damn business... And give him his body back... It's because of me that this happened... Which is why, even if I have to die, I'll bring him back... That's what they would have done." Master Sylvia muttered with a smile
"Hm... Then, before I kill you, I'd like to ask. Who am I? I can't remember... I know I'm strong but... whose spirit am I?" He asked
But to this question master sylvia simply said
"Find out yourself."
She was up, she stood with her back straight in a different combat stance, ready to go for another round
As John was about to move in to finish her, a grin formed on his face as he watched the two girls who had been watching quietly run to the front of Master Sylvia.
"Stay back!" Said Serena as she aimed her Two fire and wind drill spears at him.
They were out of magic; you could tell from the exhausted expression on their face and the way they were breathing.
Seeing this Master Sylvia was surprised for a moment before a small smile formed on her face
Ariel was being quiet and Serena just couldn't tell what she was thinking.
"Oh...?"
Rather than stopping John took a step forward and then another. Serena didn't know what to do, if she fired off the spells and he blocked them, then they'd be dead, but if he took it, he'd be able to heal himself
"Sorry john, don't hate on me for this lat-"
Serena was interrupted by the sound of the boss room entrance opening. John's attention had turned to it to see who or what had opened it and when he did, an unamused look was visible on his face
From the door, four people emerged, it was a knight who's fashion-sensed could be questioned by anybody. With his blue hair and red eyes standing out as much as ever, his presence stole all the attention in the room.
It was azure
His party members were all standing behind him, Ayda with her braided green hair didn't seem to happy while their assassin and the purple head lady looked bored.
They entered the last floor as if it was something natural
"Oh, it seems like you've beaten the boss... Am I interrupting something?" He asked as they walked over the bridge heading towards the Arena
"Not at all! Please continue!" Said Serena rather happy that she was interrupted for once
"Okay...?"
-------------------------
"You know, I was really surprised when you called out to me"
"Really? Why?" John asked
"Because you usually don't talk to anyone... And who right in their mind would suddenly ask who they were?" She asked
"..."
"Even if it was a joke, you went to far."
The two were walking side by side, with John being the one holding on to the umbrella. People would pass by and notice them but wouldn't say anything.
With the sound of the rain dropping on the umbrella and the ground beside them, John felt like they were the only people in the world
"That's because it wasn't a joke" Said John
"Eh? For real? You forgot who you were?" She asked
"Yeah, I'm slowly remembering, but I suddenly forgot."
"W-We should call the doctors, damage done to the brain can be permanent" She said as she quickly grabbed on to her phone which was somehow completely dry
When she pulled it out of her pocket however, John simply pushed it back down into her pocket as he said
"It's fine, if we keep walking I'm bound to remember something eventually"
"How can you be so sure? What if you don't?" She asked as she pushed back
"I will, I know I will because this isn't rea-"
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly realised what he was going to say
[Real? This isn't what?]
"Rea? Rea what?" Elena asked
"Nothing, Just trust me on this... Please." John asked
Seeing how desperate he was being gave her the conclusion that he must have been afraid of doctors, so without pursuing it any further, she simply let out a sigh and said
"Fine, but if you don't remember anything tomorrow, promise me that you'll go." she muttered as she stretched out her pinky
John looked at it in confusion when she suddenly grabbed his arm and put his pinky around hers before moving it up and down twice and saying
"I promise"
She then looked over at him, and he assumed it was her way of telling him to do the same.
"I also promise."
Hearing this she showed a satisfied smile as she said
"See? It wasn't that hard."
