Toruf’s enormous physique flew a couple of meters away, breaking all of the bushes in its path with its broad again.

Edvin was solely barely taller than the typical man, and he and Zayne had been virtually equivalent in dimension, so in comparison with him Toruf was an enormous. Nonetheless, it could not defend him from the explosive power that was in Edvin’s palm.

Toruf was stunned, however he shortly rose to his ft as highly effective purple power started to emanate from his whole physique and his horns shone brightly.

Edvin waved his hand, “Wait. There isn’t any want for that. Look.” Edvin tilted his head to the facet and ran his palm throughout his neck, revealing the tattoo of the shattered moon.

“What…? What are you doing right here?” Toruf’s eyes went large.

“Nothing a lot.” Edvin shrugged, “I made a decision to perform a little looking and apple selecting, nevertheless, immediately I observed one thing attention-grabbing. I could not get previous your struggle and loved watching you.”

Toruf shuddered, “So… You noticed all the things, proper?”

Edvin shrugged nonchalantly earlier than taking one other chunk from the apple. He regarded utterly calm, though they had been in one of many harmful areas of the Darkish Lands.

Toruf was cautious. He nonetheless wasn’t certain of Edvin’s intentions, and it was scaring him. In contrast to Zayne, whom Toruf may defeat at any second, Edvin was on a complete different stage.

“Truthfully, I did not suppose it could go this far. You should not have put him in peril and carried out that final assault. Your horns virtually pierced via him. It was reckless and utterly unprofessional of you.” Edvin mentioned calmly as if this was an examination, and he was reprimanding a instructor who had crossed the road. 

Toruf did not reply something, he simply tilted his head. He did not know what Edvin was going to do, however he realized that Edvin was proper.

“Agh… I do not know why he did that.” Toruf shook his head, “Absolutely you need to have realized that I put my again up, he ought to have taken benefit of that, however as an alternative he took the toughest route.”

“Yeah, and he received.” Edvin mentioned confidently, taking a chunk out of his apple, “You are fortunate that by some miracle he realized the way to use the Second Type of his dance. Most freshmen take years to do it or by no means do it in any respect. He has actual expertise.”

Toruf’s glanced at him, stunned, “Second Type…? I learn about that, however is not he too younger for that to be attainable?”

“Properly…” Edvin mentioned lingeringly, Zayne with a peaceful gaze, “He was personally chosen by our chief, so I assume that must be anticipated, although it is astounding in any case.”

‘What…? Gael Hauger has already met with Zayne…? Rattling, it appears I underestimated the significance of this younger man.’ Toruf thought as he checked out Zayne, ‘Properly, now will not be the time for that. He wants assist now.

Edvin with a peaceful look, headed in direction of Zayne. He needed to step out of the shadows because the state of affairs for Zayne had grow to be important, however he wasn’t nervous that one thing unhealthy would occur to Zayne.

“Hey… You are each from Shattered Moon Order, so you are going to assist him, proper?” Toruf requested with concern.

Edvin nodded, “Positive. That will not be an issue. His situation is critical however steady, and that is greater than sufficient.”

Crunch.

Edvin completed the apple, then the ring on his finger glowed, and in his hand appeared a curved dagger with a blade darkish as evening. Alongside the lengthy hilt was a black snake with purple eyes, it was a ornament however regarded extraordinarily pure.

“What are you going to do?” Toruf frowned, trying intently at Edvin.

“Nothing critical. I simply wish to remedy him and also you’d higher cease pondering of me as your enemy. So long as Zayne does not betray our Order’s philosophy, I will likely be his ally as he’s mine.” Edvin mentioned severely earlier than swinging his dagger.

A protracted reduce appeared on his arm, alongside the palm of his hand. Streams of blood slowly trickled down, not wanting to maneuver away from their grasp, they’d a function.

Edvin nodded, then he rolled Zayne onto his again and opened his mouth. Drops of blood had been able to fall on Zayne’s tongue, however earlier than that occurred a scarlet magic circle appeared over his face with the signal of three drops within the middle.

The blood flowing into the magic circle didn’t fall under, it remained on the floor, slowly swirling across the edges of the magic circle. Steadily, there have been an increasing number of drops, and so they turned sooner, approaching the middle.

After some time, Edvin directed the power to his arm, inflicting the wound to heal and cease bleeding, what he gave out was already sufficient. There was no want for extra blood to Zayne.

Droplets of blood gathered within the middle of the magic circle, slowly coalescing into one single drop – utterly black, barely reflecting the sunshine. Then, the black drop traveled via the magic circle, falling into Zayne’s open mouth.

“What did you do?” Toruf requested, puzzled. He had by no means seen an analogous ability earlier than.I feel you must check out

“Properly, I do not know the way to heal, or relatively in a roundabout way. Nonetheless, I’m acquainted with blood magic and know the way to use it to reinforce somebody. It’s going to most likely harm, however Zayne will get well shortly. Keep watch over him, I will be again in a couple of minutes.” Edvin calmly mentioned.

“Wait!” Toruf shouted, however Edvin had already disappeared. He was like a ghost who may come and go each time he wished with none obstacles in his method.

Toruf wrinkled his nostril as he started to ponder.

‘I can nonetheless return Zayne to the Empire’s territory, nevertheless, that might be unfair to him, proper?’ Toruf acquired an advanced expression. Zayne had received their wager, so he needed to fulfill his half and let Zayne move the Chaos Trial.

Crackle.

Abruptly Zayne’s hand moved as he slowly opened his eyes. His wounds had stopped bleeding, however, he did not look wholesome in any respect as his veins had grow to be black and swollen as if he had been contaminated with an endemic.

“Toruf…? What occurred?” Zayne requested, holding his head and searching round. He felt a vivid ache that pierced his thoughts, however, in any other case, all the things was completely positive and even higher than earlier than.

“How unusual…” Zayne muttered, trying deep into the forest.

“Hmm? Is there one thing unsuitable? Simply inform me and I am going to strive that can assist you. In any case, it is my fault this occurred to you.” Toruf guiltily pronounced, tilting his head down. He truly regretted that he could not management his feelings and used an excessive amount of power.

“Properly… I am unsure… however why is it following us, and the way lengthy has it been happening…?” Zayne uttered, not taking her gaze away from the bushes utterly lined in a darkish mist. It was virtually unimaginable to see something via it.

Nonetheless, Zayne may clearly see a silhouette, with two eyes and an extended fluffy tail, that had been ready for a very good second for a very long time.

Even when Zayne regarded straight on the silhouette, it did not transfer, being utterly certain that Zayne was simply staring into the void.

In truth, Zayne noticed each element as vividly as in daylight, no, even higher since even the shadows weren’t a barrier to him this evening.

“Right here… Cannot you see?” Zayne mentioned calmly, slowly elevating his hand and pointing straight on the silhouette.

Whooooooooooooooooooosh.

On the similar second, the silhouette tore ahead, pouncing on Zayne. The silhouette realized it had been uncovered, so the one factor it may do was assault, coming at Zayne with nice pace.

Toruf observed it too late, so he had no likelihood to assist Zayne in time, nevertheless, it wasn’t vital.

Crackle.

Zayne reflexively took a step again, tilted his physique, and thrust his arm ahead, hitting the silhouette’s neck with precision.

It was a easy and exact strike, inflicting the silhouette to flip over and plow its again to the bottom. The silhouette tried to shortly stand up on its legs and run away, however, on the final second, Zayne prevented it by stepping on the creature’s tail with all his may.

“Argh!!! What are you doing!!!? Let go of me! That hurts like hell!” Silhouette exclaimed, pitifully, virtually letting tears out of his eyes.

The silhouette turned out to be a black cat, with pointy ears, amber eyes, and thick black fur to assist disguise it at midnight.

“Who’re you!” Zayne requested coldly. The cat’s pitiful pleas did not work for him, as he clearly felt that the assault that had handed was critical. He may have died if he had been weaker.

“Nobody! I used to be simply passing by! It will not occur once more!” The cat exclaimed, attempting to interrupt free from Zayne’s grip.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Whereas Zayne was behind him, a large silhouette with two lengthy horns approached the cat from the entrance. Toruf’s nostrils flared large with each breath he took, releasing scorching steam outward.

“You might not consider me, however a couple of minutes in the past this man knocked me to the bottom.” Toruf mentioned severely, “So, you higher attempt to clarify why you had been following us and do no matter it takes to persuade us to not kill you.”

“Iek!” The cat shuddered with a gulp. Its eyes ran backward and forward, stuffed with concern and anxiousness.
