Chương 317: Chapter 300. The Last Idea

" BYRON!" Lady Cindy screamed as Byron fell to the floor after taking the blow for her. Before I let him have a chance to attack again, I pointed my hand to him." Holy Bolt!" /Boom! / My Holy Bolt landed and some of those spikes were blown off of his chest. It looks like I've been using the wrong Spell to deal with these new weapons of his. /Thump! / Sarah smashed her halberd into the God and sent him barreling away from the Fracks Children." Byron!"

Lady Cindy called to Byron who was bleeding out on the floor, his eyes were closed. The sudden loss of so much blood must've made him faint from the shock, I quickly raised my hand to heal him, only to have Lady Cindy put herself between me and her brother." What are you doing!?"" I-I'm going to heal him?"" Can you?"" Haven't you seen me heal anyone tonight? I'm pretty sure I healed Sarah and Anna in front of you, didn't I?"" I... I don't recall..." She looked at me with confusion in her eyes...

She has been despondent since we freed her from being a hostage, maybe it's all been too much for her? I do remember Emily telling me that Lady Cindy had just enrolled in the Academy, I'm pretty sure that makes her younger than Cynthia. Sarah and Princess Alice, again, ran ahead of me and began to attack the God as I began to think about how to speak to Lady Cindy. Admittedly, my impatience got the best of me."

I'm not going to harm your brother, I want to heal him, my Healing Spell will make him good as new, we don't have time to argue right now about this. If you want him to live, you need to let me heal him now." Lady Cindy eventually moved to the side, and I was able to cast Holy Heal. Anna came up to me and I saw one of her arm eyes begin to wiggle, she then began to speak to me." He's fine, just unconscio-" /Woosh! / A crimson flame flew past us and interrupted Anna's words.

It's been hard for Lady Kina and Lady Diana to time their Spells since we've all been trying to land a solid blow on the God Of The Blackwoods. I've seen their faces as they've been looking for the right moment to launch their Spells, it's been similar to all of us on the frontline searching for the right moment to attack. But now, with Byron being hit... They're starting to get more aggressive..." Continuing on, he's fine. Go back and end this." Anna seemed to be thinking the same thing as me.

With Byron and his sister here as well, things are becoming too dangerous. A decisive blow needs to be landed quickly to end this. As Sarah and Alice continued to attack the God who had dodged the fireball from earlier, a thought rolled into my mind. It came to me as Sarah attempted to stab him with her halberd..." Haa.... What the hell, it's the best idea I've got at the moment."" What?" Anna heard my muttering as I walked off to join back up with Sarah and Princess Alice in the battle.

Watching Lady Cindy dive onto Byron's chest in relief, made me feel a set of complicated emotions. That anger that had swelled in me when I landed on that tree was still festering in me, now it began to rise up even stronger than before while I looked at both Sarah and Anna. They're both covered in dust and dirt. They both look tired as well. I could feel the anger beginning to plateau. I guess I should truly let it all out. Seeing as we're all low on mana, the God included. This is going to end soon anyways.

With my idea and this anger, all I can really do is bet on us winning this." Alle! Take his right!"" On it!"

"You're both too slow!"" You again!?" As I ran into the fray, our enemy had grabbed Princess Alice's arm and looked like he was going to attempt to throw her. Once I was there, his plan changed but stayed the same. If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. /Woosh! /"!" Push! Grip! /Thump! /" Don't worry, I got you!" Princess Alice was thrown, but instead of what I assumed would be at Sarah, the God Of The Blackwoods threw Princess Alice into me.

I caught her gently, even though the force sent us a few feet back." I'm sorry!"" It's fine, as long as you're okay, Alice." Unlike last time, Princess Alice got down in a hurry. /Shing! Splash! / Thankfully, his obsession with me ended up being a giant mistake, Sarah was finally able to stab him with the tip of her halberd. Of course, he didn't take this well." You!" /Clang! Woosh! Screech! Thump!

/ A speedy riposte with that lance was thankfully blocked by Sarah, but the power behind it still sent her flying back towards us. She landed next to Princess Alice and I by sticking the tail end of her halberd in the ground and slowing her momentum." We finally landed a solid blow! Let's keep it up!" Sarah, energetically, shouted happily at Princess Alice and I as we looked at the enemy, who now, was simply glaring at us."

Alright, I have a plan just in case, but since that tactic worked with you two, let's keep doing it and end this." Sarah and Princess Alice nodded their heads in agreement with me. That was nice, but we were a bit too slow moving forward. /Thoom! /" You think I'd just wait for you lot! Enough!" /CLANG! /" Sarah!" He attacked Sarah first, she was able to block the lance he tried to hit her with. Sarah's halberd broke as she was sent flying away from us." Fuck off already!"" Punch! * /Clunk! /" No! You!

You piece of trash!" Pain! Fly! Land! / Thump! / As he was still recovering from the swing of his lance that sent Sarah flying away, I took a swing at him with a Holy Mana empowered fist. Unfortunately, the anger I felt got the best of me and he simply swung his lance sideways to hit me in the side and send me flying over both of the Fracks children. By the time I landed, I could see that Alice was also sent flying. Where was this coming from all of a sudden? We were able to finally land a blow on him."

Leave us alone!" Lady Cindy screamed at him as he approached her and her brother. I rushed forward to try and stop him. Punch!" Get away from us, you monster!" As I launched forward, I noticed a grimace formed on his face from what Lady Cindy said before he noticed my incoming fist. /Thump! / I sent him back a few feet, but nothing close to what he's done to us." Why are you doing this!? Give me back my Dad! You're nothing but a ghost possessing him!"" You!!!!"

For some reason, Lady Cindy's words seem to have an effect on him? No, wait, he's looking over at Byron too... He's looking at the blood all around him. Is Fracks still in there? I landed a punch on him after charging right in front of him as well... Is Fracks fighting for control and that's making his concentration slip? I decided to test the theory." Holy Flames!" / Woosh! / I call for my Holy Flames again.

This time I have them morph into a lance-like shape to match the enemy, granted, I don't know how to use a lance, so my "lance" was closer to a straight sword rather than a lance. But he doesn't know that. I just need him to think that it's a lance. And it seemed to do the job." You think you can best me if you use a lance rather than a sword or fist? Haven't you learned anything, scum?" He's sweating profusely now. Time to gamble." Lady Cindy!"

"?" I look to Lady Cindy and call her name, she looked surprised, but she turned to me with tears running down her eyes." What?"" I want you to tell that guy exactly what you want from him!"" What? Why?"" Just do it! Please!" She looked confused but she nodded her head to my strange request to her." I- I want my Father back!" STEP! I took off running as soon as she began to speak. It's like I thought, his attention is on Lady Cindy." I want you leave My Family alone! I don't want my Father to be in pain anymore!

I want him to return to how he was before! When Our People were happy to see him and my Mother walking down the streets when I was a little girl! When he wouldn't stay in his room all the time! When he would talk to us and read me bedtime stories! I want him to tell me that he didn't do all of those things that they said he did!"" Hrg!" It's working! He's stressed! He can't even take a proper stance!" Sit down!" /RUMBLE! /"!" Pivot!" Woah!"

A chunk of the earth was pulled up and blocked my path, I moved around it and continued making my way to him." You think this is enough!? I'm in control! You'll never be free from me!" He's talking to himself, this is good! /WOOSH! /"!" Shift! He looked at me in-between his mutterings to himself and he fired a spinning spike from his left hand at me. I dodged it and continued forward." Get out of here!" DUCK! He swings his lance at me, but I duck it. I move closer and finally begin to attack him."

Holy Flame Sword Thrust-!"" You think a simple thrust will wor-" He tried to gloat, but it was too late, he dodged and was off balance. Time to finish my sentence!

"-ERS!" /WHOOSH! / PAIN!" AHHH!" /SHING! Splash! WOOSH! Thump! Thump! / Fall! FATIGUE! My plan worked. I waited for him to be off balance and used my spell to summon a burst of flames to force a change in direction of my Holy Flame Sword as he dodged my flame sword's thrust. Once he dodged, it was over. I made sure that the burst of flame would make a strong sword strike. The flames exploded out of the weapon like a dragon breathing flames.

The switch of trajectory was so strong that I actually felt my shoulder nearly tear out of its socket. Even with the pain, it was worth it. My sword cut into the God's waist and left him in 2 pieces. Black and green blood was splattered everywhere and the bottom and top parts of his body I separated were burning like deadwood. The flames burned and I looked on in relief. I can finally say the fight was over.

I fell on my butt and began to breathe heavily as I used up the rest of my stamina and nearly all of my mana to finish him off.
