Chapter 22 Chapter: 022 Resolution

"Do you think that after killing one of us, you will live? "The energy in Bad Wolf's body exploded with power. his black tunic swaying in the wind, revealing the terrifying scars on Bad Wolf's body.

Mark was standing in guard beside Ophelia and Elijah, on the ground was the body of several men, woman, not even the kids was spared

"Brothers! what we shall do with him?" Bad Wolf looks at the men behind him.

''Kill him! Chief.'' All of the Hooded bandits have become extremely furious after seeing their brother corpse. At this moment they all raise their weapons.

Seeing all the people that had died, Elijah's body slightly moves while his whole body emits cracking sounds. With burning eyes, he looks at Bad Wolf in front of him.

"You must be way stronger than that trash, right? Don't disappoint me."

"Brothers, kill everyone here while i play with this brat." Bad Wolf gives the order very nonchalantly.

"No matter what, I won't let them kill anyone. Sister!" Elijah activate [Void Steps] and Like a floating fetter in a breeze, his body follows a fantastic path of movements apearing and desapering like ha was making several teleports and while confusing him, he arrived at Bad Wolf's face and executed a sweeping kick.

But before he could defend himself Ophelia's eyes lit up. in this little time where her brother had distracted them, she had gathered enough light energy to use her Divine Ability [Radiant Light Boost]

One of the weakness a early realm Mortal Cultivator had before a early realm Divine Cultivator was that they din't have permision to absorb this world's energy making their progess much slower and lose when they had spend all energy.

Ophelia's Divine Ability had boosted Elijah's Body Strength, Reaction Speed and his Energy.

"What?" Elijah's face suddenly changes color a lot as a terrifying torrent of energy suddenly transfers to his body from Bad Wolf's leg, sending him meters away.

''Die! Your Trash!'' Using a axe he took from the ground, Bad Wolf slashes with axe downward, Elijah immediatelyinfused on his legs and his whole body shoots up into the air like a bird. Soon afterwards he does a flip and runs away.

'I hope my master's teory was right about using the rune's power toguether with his sister's boost'

...

Before Elijah enter the battle.

Seeing what was happening from the carriage's window Elijah asks Shadow. "Master, can you help me?"

"If I was not sealed and couldn't use my power, I would be able to defeat that old geezer in one attack. However, that avatar i send was my limit, if i do something more 'they' could discorver that my seal is currently growing weak. Therefore, I can't help you get rid of him personally or lend my power to you. So, everything isup to you."

Elijah shook his head and replied, "I'm not his opponent, he's too strong for me."

"You could use your rune along with your sister's divine ability. If i'm right it could bring extreme power. However, I must say that you are very weak now. I do not know if your fragile body can withstand its power. If a problem occurs, I will not be able to solve it either. "Shadow asked slowly," Do you still dare?"

"I do!" Elijah nodded without hesitation.

"He is a Mortal Beserker so just let him waste some energy before fight him. And after discovering his secret you will understand why i'm certain you can kill him. " Shadow explained.

"Also do not use my power before powerful Divine Cultivators or they might discover that I am the one nurturing you."

...

Back to the battle Elijah was standing away from Bad Wolf as he says. "I'll end this now!"

Felling the power from the boost on flowing on him. He closed his eyes.

"Thurisaz!"

And like last time Elijah felt a strange heat inside him as his body began to grow but this time, he did not grow into a fourteen-year old boy, but a Sixteen-year old teen.

Seeing this happening, Bad wolf had a bad premonition, his instinct was telling to run but he could not let his brother behind, because from Elijah's gaze he knew that leaving them would mean their death.

So he charged with a mighty cry leaving a trail of a red berserk energy.

"Ell!" Ophelia shouted.

But when Bad Wolf's axe neared Elijah everyone was astonished to see Elijah gripping the axe blade with two fingers.

Opening his eyes, Elijah looked at the evil wolf with contempt and fury in his gaze. "I understand now, you may be in the Third Realm, but your true strength is in this red energy that suppresses others powers, even divine cultivators were supressed by this energy, and using it, people believe that you are strong, but without this energy a First Realm Peak is more than enough to kill you. Haha, I think this power matches with a trash like you."

Seeing that his secret was discovered, Bad Wolf turned and began to run away, leaving everyone behind.

"Oh no, you will not run away from me after killing all those people."

Elijah looked at the little girl hiding behind her career, this girl was called Luna, he had know her on this trip and she was discovered to have great talent, born with a special kind of spiritual body, her parents who made farmers made everything they could to leave the kingdom and find somewhere better, but in the end, they die at the hands of those thieves leaving their daughter alone in this world.

Felling fury for all those people like her, that had to sufer because of these bandits. Elijah threw his hammer that flew at extreme speed across Bad Wolf's chest, killing him before returning to his hand.

Then he immediately grabs his hammer and breaks the head of a hooded Bandit. and with the speed of [Void Steps] it makes several strokes. and as fast as lightning, Elijah's body, which appeared and disappeared, was killing one by one until all fell.

Several horses whinnying non-stop, because of all the noise and killing, these horses became confused. They tried to scatter and gallop, but the caravan's mercenaries had prevented them from running away, but the dust leaved by the horses surrounded Elijah who was in the middle of the bodies.

The survivers hiding on the carriages leaved and they all look at the blur of Elijah's body in the middle of the bodies in astonishment.

Originally,to all of them, Elijah was only a kind-hearted boy. Who could believe that just now this boy would annihilated an entire group of bandits which they think was extremely terrifying, in just a little while without any resistance.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Elijah. But at this moment only Ophelia realized that he was panting and crying.

Because only she knew why he is gasping for breath and crying, while no one had imagined the turmoil in his heart at the moment.

Even though he was extremely resolute when he was killing the bandits, this is after all the first time he has ever killed a human before.

"What i have done?" In his mind, Elijah was a bit terrified.

Even though he had killed several monsters and creatures before, after all he is still only a ten year old kid. If a kid who normally treats people kindly killed several people in one go, even if he had a strong will, he would still become terrified.

"Ell" Ophelia run to Elijah who was shaking non-stop and stroked his shoulders. Elijah looks up at her. His eyes are with a hint of fear, panic and pain.

"Ell, I know what you are feeling because this is also the first time I've killed someone. But you must understand they were bad people, monsters and they deserved to die. In your path you will need to be resolute and strong if you can't even kill monsters like them, how you are gonna protect your friends and family? how you are gonna protect me? Just remember that to every bad people will kill, you save a thousand. This is what Lord Apollo, had said to me when i first killed someone. "

Ophelia says while staring at Elijah.

"Killing a bad people can save a thousand." Elijah murmurs to himself several times.

After a while, Elijah lifts his head once more as his eyes shine with resolution. He turns to Ophelia. "Thank you, sis, I think I've finally understood what I should do."

"See kid, in the end this serves as a great lesson for you." says Shadow.

Suddenly, Elijah has a faint smile on his face: "Sis, why haven't you quickly gone help other people? aren't you a sevent of the God of Light?"

"Ah, you're right." Ophelia's mind has also been completely focused her little brother. After being reminded by him, She immediately started to help the seriously injured survivers and began organizing everthing before they parted away from this place.
