Chapter 130: The Lord Is With Us (51)

༺ The Lord Is With Us (51) ༻

With a sickening crack, the skull of one of the flesh seeds rushing to attack me burst open.

The flesh seed staggered and fell, spewing out blood and brain fluid. However, there were still countless flesh seeds remaining.

One on my left. Two on my right.

My hatchet moved like lightning. Thud. My hatchet split the skull of the flesh seed coming from my right, then changed its trajectory to slam down upon the remaining flesh seed.

I grabbed the flesh seed charging towards me from the left and threw it to the ground with all my might.

With a loud thud, the shock wave resonated throughout the cave, accompanied by the flesh seed’s scream.

My hand unsheathed my sword at near lightspeed. The blade, covered with a silver aura, pierced the flesh seed’s brain.

The trembling flesh seed quickly stopped twitching. It was definitely difficult to deal with them since their head was the only weak spot.

Panting, I turned around during the brief moment of leisure I had obtained. As I gazed beyond my vicinity, I witnessed a dogfight unfolding before me.

Golden claws swept through the air.

The golden aura flowing down from the air further raised the temperature in the cave, which was already burning up from the heat of battle. Five sword trajectories––three of which were real––connected with the flesh seeds, causing them to scream and twist their bodies in pain.

But the flame that was already burning them was impossible to control. Soon, three of the monsters burned into a lump of charred flesh and collapsed onto the floor.

Celine and Seria were battling with skills well beyond what they learned in training. Thankfully, there was little concern for ambush since they were covering both sides.

Crash, bang!

An explosion of sounds erupted every time Celine swung her sword. Each blow was overloaded with the mana that she had saved for the battle, causing powerful explosions and scattering blood and flesh everywhere.Follow the latest novels on no/velbin(.)com

I quickly tapped Senior Elsie on the cheek. She was still out of it.

“Senior Elsie, Senior Elsie!”

But Senior Elsie was zoned out, crying and hiccuping in between. She seemed to be completely absorbed in terror by being in a situation where her life was being threatened. The hatchet being thrown at her was just the cherry on top.

She was crouched down on the ground, covered in blood and muttering to herself.

“I-I’m sorry... E-Elsie will do better... M-Mr. Ian. Don’t leave me behind.......”

“.......Elsie Rinella!”

In the end, I lost my patience and yelled her name at the top of my lungs. When I did so, Senior Elsie’s body twitched and she let out an instinctive reply.

“Y-Yes!”

Only then, did I smile with satisfaction and stroked Senior Elsie’s head.

Her hair was sticky with blood, but it didn’t matter. I felt Senior Elsie’s tense body gradually start to relax.

I lowered my upper body and whispered in her ear.

“Start chanting.”

Senior Elsie looked at me with a puzzled expression on her face.

“B-But Mr. Ian... There’s so many enemies around us right n–... Wha–kyaaaaa?!”

I pulled Senior Elsie into my arms without a warning. With my other remaining arm, I held my hatchet while roaming the extensive battlefield.

I threw my hatchet and smashed the skulls of flesh seeds that rushed at us
