Chapter 18 Painful Choice

[Sacrifice your unique skill so that you can awaken your magic core. This is the less risky option but I'm not sure whether the master will be able to defeat this monster]

[Start a forced evolution this is a highly risky and painful move, I'm not sure whether the master will be able to endure this pain for the whole day but you will be able to defeat this monster]

[Master, Choose your option]

"Luna, why do you say that I won't be able to defeat this monster with the first option," I asked trying to find the best solution in this case.

[Since the master will sacrifice his Unique skill master will easily awaken his mana core but you will start as a D rank so it is a matter of luck if you were able to defeat an A rank]

"Then isn't it obvious I will have to choose the forced evolution," I asked feeling confused why there are two options when the first one is this useless?

If I sacrifice my unique skill then I will lose appraisal which is quite useful.

[Master, forced evolution comes with great pain I don't know whether the master can endure it that is why I let you choose the safe option, originally master would awaken after another 5 years safely but the current situation doesn't allow that]

"Luna, if I choose the second option how can I defeat the hobgoblin won't I enter a hibernation state," I asked while looking at the monster who is searching for the two humans who escaped from its grasp.

[Master will enter a hibernation state but don't worry I will help you since the master is helpless without me]

I looked at Big sister, she was also trying to find a proper time to escape from this place. I touched her hand and said,

"Big sister Delvi, don't worry we will get out of here safely"

"Veli, I know don't worry I will protect you," she said while looking at me.

"Luna choose the second option" I decided to choose the second option then I looked at Delvi,

"Sister, hide somewhere safe and come out when the fight is over" I spouted my last words.

"What are you!" Before she could finish her sentence I got up from where we were hiding, my eyes were already lifeless, I felt so sleepy that I could sleep while standing. I could only resist for a few seconds but then I fell asleep.

Delviny POV

I looked at Velian and I couldn't help but find something strange. The light he had in his eyes was nowhere to be found. He attracted the monster's attention to himself by standing.

I decided to help him but before I could do anything he threw his dagger toward the hobgoblin.

*WHOOSH

But he didn't stop there he ran at an unbelievable speed toward the monster with the dagger.

Hobgoblin tried to block the dagger but he was met with Velian's fist even though it managed to successfully block the dagger Velian's fist sent him flying backwards.

I was amazed at this whole situation. How can he beat an A-rank monster with his bare fist? He hasn't even awakened yet, while I was looking at Velian's back in a daze he got onto the body of the half-dead hobgoblin and started to smash its head repeatedly with his bare hand.

This A-rank monster couldn't even fight back against this 5-year-old child. It was getting beat up like an old rag.

Velian was drenched in the hobgoblin's blood but right now it was the least concern. Hobgoblin was already dead after his brutal smashing but velian didn't stop his punches. His hands were bent in a weird direction but he still kept punching like a madman.

"Veli, stop please what happened to you please stop Veli," I hugged him from behind, I was devastated to see the state he is in. His hands were bent in a weird direction and his body is drenched in the blood of the monster. He kept repeatedly punching even after I dragged him out of that mess.

He is like a wild beast with no intelligence at first I was impressed by the ability he showed when fighting the monster but now I'm scared.

*SOBS

"Veli, what happened to you"

"Can you hear me Veli, please answer me," I kept talking to him.

After a couple of minutes, he gained a little bit of his consciousness I wanted to ask what happened to him but before I could he looked at me with a complicated look,

"Sister, this isn't over yet," he said

Velian POV

I gained a little bit of consciousness after a few minutes. When I opened my eyes I was met with my sister's face which was filled with tears and blood. I would have panicked if I saw normal blood on my sister's face but it was clearly hobgoblin's blood.

I wanted to hug my sister and tell her not to worry but now is not the time. Forced evolution can start any moment from now on. I was thankful for what Luna did but I have to ask her why my hands are bent in a weird direction luckily I don't feel any pain because after another few more minutes I will experience greater pain.

"Sister, this isn't over yet" I wanted to tell her what she should do before the evolution kicks in.

"Sister, listen carefully I won't be able to move my body for a whole day I will tell you the reason later"

"Take me to that cave and don't leave me alone I need your help"

"I might scream and throw a tantrum if I went crazy tie my hands"

"Mom will panic but it can't be helped this is an emergency"

"And at last Delvi, I love you," I said while closing my eyes.

She didn't stop crying for one minute but she did what I told her to do.

"I love you too, my cute brother," she said while wiping her tears and snot.
