Chapter 85 84. Incident.

"Alright! Don't nag me now, I'll listen to what you have say later." He raised his hands in surrender and went back to concentrating on healing.

"WTF!?" I cursed out loud and stared at him disbelief.

"What do mean nag? I'm stating facts!" I snarled.

Quinn abruptly stood up, smiled at me, and moved on to the next injured person without responding.

"Hey! Hey, don't ignore me! Hey!!" I called out but he just moved on while ignoring me.

"Fine! Don't take to me!" I grumbled and walked off of the stage.

"Hey! Huma-" Legolin called out, I cut him short and replied with,

"Eshwar." I turned around to face him, Legolin flinched and nodded.

"Eshwar, were any of your parents an elf?" he asked while looking at me in the eyes.

"Dude...." I stopped myself from taunting him into a fight.

'... He doesn't know about me and he's just curious.'

"I have none." I replied.

"Huh?" Legolin stared at me with wide eyes.

"Parents, I mean, I am an orphan. Though they are still alive and well, I don't consider them my parents and they are not worth it." I answered with my hands in my pockets.

"Oh, I am sorry." He said.

"Huh?"

'Is he stupid?'

"I am really sorry, I didn't know that and I unknowingly opened up your old wounds." He said and bowed politely.

'Where did learn to do that?'

"Um.... Which part of 'they are not worth it' did you not understand?" I furrowed my brows and looked at his stupidity.

"Huh?" he asked, dumbfounded.

'So, he is stupid.'

"I never said I needed any and I am hundred percent sure that none of the people who gave birth to me are elves." I scratched my chin with my right hand.

"Anyway, enough about me. What do you want?"

"Huh? Oh, no, I simply wanted to ask for a spar with you." Legolin said.

"A spar huh? But a spar is not exciting though..." I looked up at sky and answered half-a*sedly.

"That's true." He nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, it is. So, nothing else?" I looked at him with my brows raised.

"....." Legolin turned silent and seemed to be pondering.

'A dark elf asking for a spar huh... I remember 'Legolin' killing everyone in the tournament that took place in the human domain, he hated every human because he was humiliated and was sold as a 'slave' after getting scammed by humans, that was what I wrote about him in the 'novel'.'

'Humans didn't get the new about the war until later in the story, when the 'Elven Domain' dispatched another elf to deliver the news about the war and the alliance, believing that 'Legolin' had failed or fled from the Elven Domain by abandoning the mission.'

'Poor Legolin, he was duped because he thought humans were 'lesser' beings and that he could do anything as long as he was the strong one.'

'Though at that time, I intended to make a villain out of him, but now, I think he did the right thing, because he was the victim and he perfectly took revenge for it, though he overdid it died at the end...'

'Now that I think about the 'novel,' I thought about using its knowledge, but so many things are changing and the story is almost 'broken'... Well, the 'real' life, on the other hand, should be unpredictable in order to enjoy and 'feel' something.'

'If I was obsessed with the novel and always planning on what my next move would be.... Oh my, just the thought of it sounds like a pain in the a*s.'

"What about a match between us? Only death or surrender will stop the match." Legolin suggested with a wild grin.

"Oh! That's good!" I returned the same energy and grinned savagely.

"But you are too wea-" I was about to say that he was too weak, but...

SWISH

I saw an arrow fly past me, it seemed to cut through the wind as it and it hit its target.

"Akh!" Quinn groaned in agony.

The arrow hit Quinn's right chest, almost near his shoulder because at the last movement, Quinn tried to dodge the arrow by moving to his left as it was aimed at the middle of his heart, but failed to do so completely.

"QUINNNNNN!!!" I yelled in a hoarse voice as my mind suddenly went blank.

My hands shivered as I appeared in front of him before I could think of anything, my vision blurred as tears streamed down without my consent, and I lost control of my mana, which oozed and caused ripples beneath my feet.

"Cough.... Ai, I'm... Cough... alright so stop!" he furrowed his brows at me and scolded after coughing out several mouthfuls of blood.

"I'm alright my a*s!" I sighed in relief when I saw him alive and turned to look in the direction the arrow flew.

I saw ten people in about 500 metres between us, but only one of them was holding a bow in his/her hand.

"You!" I glared at him/her.

Turned around with my hands on the ground, used Frost magic to turn my fingers into claws, took a dash stance, and noticed saliva dripping from my mouth, which I couldn't care less about.

'I'll rip you to shreds!'

BANG

As I launched myself at them, the stage cracked beneath my feet, and I ran on all fours to give myself a strong push on every lunge.

I created an ice prism in front of me to create a slipstream and took long lunges while moving at high speeds because everything around me was a blur unless I focused on it.

'I'll rip you to shreds, I'll rip you to shreds, I'll rip you to shreds, I'll rip you to shreds, I'll rip you to shreds, I'll rip you to shre....' I repeated it in my head like a chant, never taking my gaze away from the person who held a bow.

"Grr." As I licked my lips and glared at him/her, a low growl escaped my mouth, and I could feel my grown fangs with my tongue.

SWISH

WHOOOOSH

I came to an abrupt halt and drifted until I was behind them to cut off their escape route, prism dematerialized in front of my eyes as I stood back up on my feet, and a strong gust of wind blew past me, raising all the dust and hiding them from my view.

"Gra!" I got irritated and clawed at the dust cloud. Four claw marks were visible for a split second before the cloud vanished from view. They were still looking at the location of the press conference, some on the trees and some behind them, but everyone had the same expression and that was of 'horror.'

"...Who sent you?"
