Chapter 13
“The eyes are where the life essence of the Mankestre snake is, and it looks like this huge snake is about to die!”
Murphy looked at the huge snake, which was in its last moments, and said rather bleakly.
The casualties, this time, were too much. From a group of roughly 30 people, the Black Iron Guards were completely wiped out, and Murphy was the only acolyte that survived.
Moreover, the city lord and the Grand Knight, Viscount Jackson, was severely injured at this moment, and his life was in peril.
And the source of them all was this huge Mankestre snake!
“City lord? Right, Leylin! Hurry and look at Jackson!” Murphy slapped his forehead.
“You only thought of him now?” Leylin was rather speechless.
Viscount Jackson was lying on his back on the ground and his chest was sunken in a cavity. On the corners of his lips were traces of blood, and he was in an unconscious state.
Leylin hurriedly took a look, “3 broken ribs and the arm and leg bones are all also broken. As for the rest they are fine. With the vitality of a Grand Knight, he should be conscious in a few hours.
“That’s good! This is the only good news I’ve heard all day today!”
Murphy walked towards that huge, lifeless snake, and said, “This seems to be a Mankestre snake which has not yet grown to its adult stage. If it was an adult withering huge snake, it could be very likely that the water content in our bodies would have been sucked dry the very moment we entered the cave!”
The huge Mankestre snake’s head fell onto the floor, and a pair of eye-shaped pearls were pierced by the pyramid shaft, and dazzling fluid flowed out from within.
“Even so, the materials on this huge snake, would also be worth thousands of magic crystals!”
Murphy caressed the yellow-brown scales of the huge snake as he muttered to himself.
Suddenly, the other eye of the Mankestre snake opened! Its gaze, filled with hatred, immediately landed on Murphy. It opened its jaws, and the razor-sharp teeth was about to snap Murphy into two.
This huge snake was not completely dead!
Earlier it had feigned its death, and right now, it finally revealed its razor-sharp teeth and was about to kill this repulsive human.
Against such an attack, Murphy was completely not protected and he stood there stunned, not moving at all.
Leylin looked coldly to this development, with no desire to help, ‘ I am sorry friend but you will have to part this world a little earlier. ‘ He aimed his croos bow and waited for Murphy to die.
The snow-white teeth landed on Murphy, and ripped his body to shreds.
A black arrow directly pierced the other eye of the snake, and the Mankestre snake continuously writhed and finally ceased moving.
* Huff! Huff! Huff! *
Murphy uttered violently, “Ley… Leylin, you…. ”
“Sorry, Mate such is life ?” Leylin smiled as his gaze fixed on the huge snake, up until when the A.I. Chip’s voice sounded, [Target has completely lost all signs of life] did he heave a sigh of relief.
Both Murphy and Mankestre snake died, releasing all their energy, Leylin sat cross-legged to harvest this. He after some time felt a sharp piercing pain in his head, and his breathing become ruff.
‘ I need to stabilize ‘ Leylin looked at Unconscious body of Jackson . He didn’t kill him because There is not much profit in it, keeping him alive is better since he has Royal backing , although Leylin is not afraid of them, there is not much in return either.
Leylin took a ball like thing and crushed it, it was a signal for his slaves to come here, he had them station little far away from Forest to provide support.
Soon his two slave knights and anna came.
“Take Viscount to the carriage and harvest the materials of this Mankestre snake, and return to Extreme Night City!”
” Yes, Master ”
“Anna, Follow me to the other carriage”
Anna followed him to the carriage , As she entered, leylin jumped on her. she was frightened looking into the red Lust filled eyes of Leylin.
“Master” Anna squeaked
“Shut up” Leylin shouted, kissing her lips and undoing her robe.
…..
“I am…still alive?” What entered his vision was a sky filled with resplendent starlight, and he felt his body rising and falling in accordance with the movements of the horse carriage.
Viscount Jackson discovered that his chest was already bandaged, and a refreshing feeling dispersed the pain, which showed that the healing process was extremely professional.
“Who was it that saved me?” A doubt crossed Viscount Jackson’s mind, and he tried hard to untangle his thoughts.
“City lord! You are finally awake!” His butler face came in front of him.
“who saved me? How are the others?” Viscount Jackson struggled to speak, and his voice sounded hoarse, like a ruined bellow.
“Lord Leylin saved you!” Butler said “The two of you were the only survivors of the whole group…His Servant Dropped you here in the mansion….”
“They’re all dead?” Viscount Jackson flung his head and an unexplainable sorrow welled from the bottom of his heart.
Jackson looked at the distant scene, and his eyes quivered, and finally two streams of tears flowed….
The city lord’s castle’s reconnoiter group had perished completely. Even news of Viscount Jackson, as a Grand Knight, having been seriously injured had spread and immediately caused an uproar in Extreme Night City.
Even after two days, the news did not die down. Instead, it even spread throughout the area,
As the city lord of Extreme Night City, Viscount Jackson always used his status as a Grand Knight to suppress many dark factions. However, when the news of him being injured spread, it caused several ripples and undercurrents inside the city.
At this moment, the strength of the city castle was waning, even the few acolytes who were friendly towards Viscount Jackson had died. Jackson who was nurturing his grief had to face with all these, and was rather overwhelmed by all these.
Leylin who retuned to the villa outside the city heard some of the news.
He received many invitation from City Lord and Other faction, which he refused.
“A.I. Chip! Bring forth my current stats!” Leylin commanded inwardly.
[Beep! Leylin Farlier, level 3 acolyte. Strength:4.3, Agility: 4.6, Vitality: 4.7, Spiritual force: 14.1, Magic power: 14– (magic power is in synchronisation with spiritual force). Status: Healthy]
The A.I. Chip projected the data in front of Leylin’s eyes. Apart from him, nobody else could see it.
Without any elixer Leylin has achieved a breakthrough, his overall stats are way better than a new level 3 Acolyte. Not becoming stronger with the Help of elixer has its own merit, he can showcase strength even greater than his stats, meaning if he had to fight someone with exact stats as him, he will have an advantage because his body has not suffered backlash from the Reagents.
‘ A lot of energy was needed in my breakthrough, more than the estimate, so My Spiritual Force didn’t sky Rocketed but still it’s great. ‘
