Chronicles of the Red Sovereign

Chapter 83: Demonized Confrontation

What should we do then? Senior Trent asked as we watched the remaining Cedi representative fight for his life.

Distract it while I take the survivors elsewhere.

Just you? I mean-

Ill take them to a safe place and apply medical treatment on the heavily injured one. You dont have to kill the monster yourself. It would be better to actually run away from it.

Why not?

-Is this guy serious?

Senior, that things like powered up because of the crystal. You cant fight that alone especially when its abilities are boosted to be Class S!

I already guessed that the monster was strong in the first place, but with the crystals addition, apart from having its power boosted, its also nearly impossible to kill. Unless you know where to hit.

So I just have to get rid of the crystal right? Senior Trent with a smile.

My eyes widened in surprise. He actually figured it out!

And besides, Im not alone. Senior George will be assisting me. Just focus on getting those students out of there.

I just sighed. He already looked like he was set on bringing the demonized monster with a gold tag, so I just agreed with him.

I watched in atop a tree branch as Senior George shot the monster with an arrow that exploded upon impact. At the same time, Senior Trent zoomed in with lightning tendrils around his body and weapon. I immediately readied myself.

Once Senior Trent drove his halberd to the monsters side, which resulted on the monster crashing to some trees, I used Flash Steps to get to the surviving students. I also used my internal energy to strengthen myself and immediately grabbed the two with my arms. I started running away from the area of the monster.

There werent any resistance from the two so they were either too shocked to react or both were passed out.

We reached one of the safe zones in the forest and immediately brought them down to the ground.

Well only one was unconscious while the other one was pale and shivering. I immediately recognized them; Katherine li Binsha and Patrick Gernuv, both were third years.

It it killed everyone else like nothing. I- I

Sshh. Its okay now. Youre okay now. I said with a smile and patted his shoulder. This is one of the safe zones. No monsters will come here. Youll be safe here, so try and calm down okay? Ill go take a look at your friend and then you.

Senior Patrick just nodded and I went to his teammates side. I checked the injuries immediately and took note of the gash on Katherines forehead and the bump at the back of her head.

-She probably has concussion. She has a broken leg and her left arm popped out of its socket.

I knew how to apply first aid. I also trained in medicine and alchemy so I thought I should be able to handle their injuries.

It took a few minutes to fix Senior Katherines shoulder and apply some medicine on her cuts. I also put a splinter on her broken leg so it wouldnt get more damaged. Senior Patrick was also easy to treat. He was very compliant and he only had a few cuts and bruises. His worst injury was a gash on his back, probably from the monsters horns.

Senior Patrick, I have to return to my teammates. I will have to leave you here. I said after treating their injuries.

But-

Youll be safe here. Just wait until the time limit is over. We will be transported back to the entrance of Timog Town.

What about my dead teammates?

I couldnt help but feel sorry to Senior Patrick. He was really worried about his teammates.

The committee will be retrieving their dead bodies. I gave him a sad smile. Senior Patrick, my teammates and I will fight that monster. We will avenge your friends, okay?

Please do so.

I watched as he buried his head to his knees and started crying.

Ill see you later Senior Patrick.

I ran outside the safe zone and returned to where I left Seniors Trent and George, hoping they didnt end up like the other Cedi students.

I released a sigh of relief when I saw both my seniors still alive and kicking. Well, Senior George was running around with his bow in hand, his forehead bleeding. Senior Trent on the other hand still had his halberd on his hand, but I noticed the blood on his uniform. His chest was bleeding and I could see him breathing heavily.

I immediately rushed to his side and checked his injuries.

You dont have to Luna. Ill be fine. he said and attempted to push me away.

Yeah right, like Ill ever let that happen. Stay still and let me heal you. I growled at him. I told you to just run away! That things a Class S now! Its not something we can deal easily like the other monsters!

I gave him a pill to stop the bleeding and another pill to restore his vitality. I then put bandage on his injuries which thankfully immediately stopped bleeding after he drank his pill.

Youre the one with experience on this one. What should we do? That thing just keeps on reviving no matter what Senior George and I do.

Thats what the black crystal is for. I grimaced. We all try to get its attention and whoever gets an opening to strike its forehead, we do it. Understand?

Yes your majesty.

And dont call me that.

I fought the urge to elbow him because of his injuries. I managed to convince him not to call me or treat me like a queen just a few weeks ago, which Im very thankful for. But Senior Trent just sometimes liked being an ass.

Senior Trent made a dash forward, lunging at the monster whose attention was at Senior George. I jumped high up in the air and brought my blade towards its head. My eyes widened as it managed to repel Senior Trents attack and deflect my swords with its horns.

-This is bad. Not only did the monster become stronger, it has also become smarter. Aunt Zaira, what the hell is this? Is this part of the event? Or is something else going on?

I crashed to a tree when the monster suddenly caught my foot and flung me aside. I groaned when I landed on a tree trunk rather harshly. From the corner of my eye, I saw Senior Trent also get thrown to the side. Unfortunately for him, the monster decided to go after him, worse, he got knocked out.

-We shouldve really just run.

I was regretting ever agreeing with Senior Trent in fighting the demonized creature which seems to be getting more powerful by the minute.

Senior Trent will die at this rate.

I engulfed myself with fox fire and lunged at the monster. I jumped on it back and plunged my swords that were encased with the same bluish-white flame. I could feel the temperature rising, but it wasnt really bothering me.

The monster roared in anguish and started thrashing around in an attempt to get me off its back, but I kept my swords planted firmly and released more of my flames.

All of a sudden, it got hold of my arm and flung me aside once more. I landed harshly on the ground and cradled my dislocated arm. I winced as I put weight of my then sprained ankle. The monster charged at me with anger on its eyes.

-Damn it. I cant get away.

I stood feeling hopeless at what was about to come.
