Chapter 299: Desperate Time

"First Brother! They are surrounding us!" said Godwin to Kraftvoll who was beside him.

The two of them stopped at their run upon seeing the soldiers of the opposing army surrounding all of them.

"Shit! We are completely surrounded! It seems like the regimental commander has her hands full as of this moment. Is Second Brother going to be alright?" said Kraftvoll.

He could not help but be worried about the situation. Godwin was about to respond to him when all of the members of the golden unit, except Prince Aragorn, came to their side.

"Are you two okay?" asked Belle as she was worried sick of Kraftvoll's current condition.

"Hey, guys! The two of us are okay but Second Brother or rather, the First Lieutenant is still fighting on the frontline!" Godwin said in response to her.

Upon hearing those words, Adelle could not help but be worried about her boyfriend. "Tell me where he is, right now!" she shouted at the next moment.

Godwin doesn't know what to say in response so he decided to look at Kraftvoll's direction. Kraftvoll has no words to say to her as well so he just kept quiet.

That's when Belle and Princess Kyomi butted in. The two of them said to Adelle, "We will go with you."

They turned their gazes toward the boys the moment after saying those words to their close friends. "Please tell us where he is."

After some thinking, Kraftvoll finally made up his mind. He said to them, "Okay fine, I will tell the three of you. But there's one condition. I will come with the three of you."

Belle was the first one to say a word to refuse his condition saying, "NO! You already exhausted almost all of your inner seishin essences! Going to the battle would only put you in danger!"

Kraftvoll smiled at her up hearing her worries. He said at the next moment, "Don't worry, my love. I still have THAT in my possession, remember?"

Belle nodded after hearing Kraftvoll. A moment later, she said to him, "Okay, then. Replenish your inner seishin essences with that seishin device that we designed and invented together."

After coming to an agreement, Kraftvoll immediately takes out a seishin device from his secret pocket. It was a seishin beast core with seishin runes engraved with it.

"Let's go," Kraftvoll said at the next moment.

"We will come with you three!" Godwin shouted as Kraftvoll and the others went toward the elven prince's side.

"Stay here! Fight with our comrades here. We need to break through their formation so that we would be able to regroup with the main group."

Godwin did not say a word in return after hearing his captain. Instead, Godwin and the other girls that remained began chanting a seishin spell to fight the soldiers that surrounded their division from behind.

"Where does First Lieutenant is fighting?" asked Princess Kyomi to Kraftvoll while they were running side by side.

"He's near the frontline when we are forced to flee because of my inability to fight. I thought he was going to be with us after a few minutes but-!" he said in response to the human princess.

"Okay, we will follow you so please take the lead," said Princess Kyomi.

With that exchange, Kraftyvoll decided to rush toward the direction where he and Godwin fled earlier while he was absorbing seishin essences from his seishin device.

Meanwhile, Prince Aragorn was still fighting the demibeast seishin practitioner who fought Kraftvoll earlier. Despite his enemy's shortcoming due to his injury, the elven prince was still having a hard time finishing him off.

'Shit! I am taking too long to finish this piece of shit! If only we had the same cultivation, I would be able to finish him at his current stage! Well, there's no time to whine about this!' Prince Aragorn thought to himself as he fought the one-hand demibeast seishin practitioner.

They continued to clas with each other without letting their guard. After all, doing so would mean that they would forfeit their lives so they could not afford to do it for even a moment.

The battle between them continued to transpire until something bad happened to the elven prince's side. As he was attacking his opponent, a draconian seishin practitioner used a seishin spell in his back.

Prince Aragorn only heard from his back, "Zephyr's Bolt!"

Before he could do anything to react, Prince Aragorn was suddenly hit by the wind in the shape of a stalagmite with enough force to get through his lower back.

"SHIT!" he shouted as blood came out of his side.

The only thing that he could do was fall on his knee at that moment. Despite his situation, his will to fight did not wane for even a bit. Instead, he glared even more at his opponent. 

"Finally! Thank you for your help, buddy!" said the one-handed demibeast in front of the elven prince.

The draconian who managed to put Prince Aragorn on his knee only smiled and nodded at him. At the next moment, he immediately went toward the other soldiers from the rearguard division of Verrater Academy.

"Well, well, well. It's time to deal with a pest like you!" said the demibeast with a vicious smile.

Prince Aragorn's expression did not change a bit after seeing his current opponent. He was still not resigning to his defeat at the moment.

After he saw the unchanged expression of the elven prince, the demibeast could not help but be pissed so he began chanting a seishin spell to finish him off once and for all.

At the next moment, the one-handed demibeast decided to activate his blue seishin aura and his green seishin aura at the same time.

Upon seeing this, Prince Aragorn immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Aqua's Embrace!"

Suddenly, he was able to conjure a body of water with a high concentration of healing properties to mend the wound that he got.

His opponent just smiled at him after seeing his effort to survive.

"Ye who portray the true meaning of cold, let thy liege's adversaries feel the numbing part of you..."
