Chapter 1666: Reaper and Death
"A... Reaper?" Shara asked.
"A Reaper..." Ning said softly, finally getting to what he had been wanting to know for such a long time.
<Ding!>
<You have figured out what Shara is>
<You have gained 20 points>
The one quest he had been waiting to complete for such a long time had finally been completed.
"You damn old woman!" the Earl shouted at Usha. "After I'm done with these two, I will come for your head too."
Ning wanted to leave right away, but he couldn't let the Earl make such a threat toward the old woman and leave just like that. They would end up implicating the old woman, most likely causing her death.
He needed to fight him still.
Ning heard a bunch of horses stop by the road as the crowd moved to clear the commotion. Ning looked back and saw another carriage arrive, along with many more soldiers who were in
armor.
He couldn't be sure if they were all corpses again or not. He didn't have the luxury to care.
He had no time, so he pulled up his points shop to find the thing he needed to buy. There was the energy potion for 3 points, or he could go for the one with 18 points that gave more
energy.
Was it a wise choice to spend 18 of the 23 points he had at that moment? Probably not. Ning thought it wise to use the 3 points one instead.
That invisible wall that had stopped him earlier would certainly shatter in a single attack. He felt the force of the barrier and the rebound from the shattering.
The force stopped him and suddenly he felt something.
The Earl had come to a stop and when he looked down to see why he had stopped, he noticed that the tip of a spear had pierced right through his chestplate.
He could feel it stab him on the inside.
The shaft of the spear had seemingly split apart due to his force, but the tip had still stuck itself into his chest. He could feel the pain as well as a sense of coldness on his chest.
Was the wound shallow? He hadn't died just yet. He could get through this too. He just needed to kill the two.
He raised his sword with a one-tracked mind and looked at the people he was swinging the sword toward. He saw the girl he had to kill no matter what and saw that she held a scroll.
She untied it and then it all went black.
Ning had planted the spear onto the ground to protect himself from the attack. He had no more energy, so he couldn't create more barriers than the ones he already had.
There were 3 barriers still active, and one of them had been shattered when the Earl smashed through. He came down at the spear at an angle, and his speed had been so fast that the spear managed to pierce into his chest.
The shaft broke though, so the Earl wasn't immediately dead.
However, it was at that exact moment that Shara untied the scroll and a massive ball of fire blossomed right in front of her. She had wished for the scroll to work on the man whose single
eye gave her horror.
And work it did.
The ball of fire flew directly into the man's head and exploded into an explosion of fire and
blood.
