Chapter 37: Fierce Battle!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Within the Knight Apprentice realm, the difference in strength between levels is not very big. It’s just that the higher the level, the stronger the endurance of the combat ability. So, if we launch a sneak attack, we still have a chance of winning.”

The enemy was right in front of her. With Edith’s character, she really could not bear it any longer. The grief she had held in for a day and a night completely burst out. Her pretty face revealed a smile full of killing intent.

At this moment, Edith was completely different from the talkative and lively young doctor in the Bluestone City’s Church. Parr even suspected that she had schizophrenia.

‘It’s only normal. Who doesn’t have an alternate ego?’

Parr muttered to himself and then continued to listen to Edith’s plan. He could not stand it either. When he saw Massey digging a hole with his back to them, he wanted to launch a sneak attack immediately. He was truly fearless!

“We’ll do this!”

Edith narrowed her beautiful eyes and observed her surroundings. Then she looked at Parr’s thin body and came up with a plan that she thought was perfect.

…

Massey was sweating profusely while digging a hole with a shovel. This was the escape route left by the Evil God Cult in Bluestone City. It was a tunnel reconstructed from an underground crack that could bypass the city walls and allow one to escape the city altogether.

The only troublesome thing was that this tunnel was buried deep underground for the sake of secrecy. Therefore, after escaping, Massey waited until dusk before taking action. First, he used the Bronze-level zombie that he controlled to distract the pursuers. Then, Massey carefully arrived here. He took out the shovel that he had prepared beforehand and started digging. This was a remote corner of Bluestone City. It was quite a distance away from the south wall. Therefore, he was not afraid that others would hear the sound of digging.

Soon, a green-gold object was revealed at the tunnel entrance buried underground. A green-gold stone slab was placed to prevent the soil from blocking the tunnel.

“Very good! I need to continue.”

Bang!

Just as Massey was about to catch his breath and dig further, a brick hit his back.

“Who is it?”

Massey jumped out of the pit in an instant and grabbed his broadsword. With his eyes wide open, he saw his assailant immediately. It was a girl with long pink hair tied into a ponytail and wearing white sheepskin armor. The little girl held a sword from the Church and was staring at him with her big pink eyes from the broken wall of the courtyard. The killing intent contained in her eyes made him feel a little scared.

“Is it someone from the Church?”

Massey was shocked, but then he found that Edith was alone. He knew that he was not surrounded. This made him feel relieved. He took a big step forward and rushed forward while dragging his broadsword.

“Die!”

With a low roar, Massey decided to kill Edith immediately. He took a few big steps forward and jumped up. The broadsword behind him was swung up.

“Jumping Slash!”

Massey jumped over the broken wall, and the broadsword smashed toward Edith with a whistling sound.

Bang!

It missed the target. Edith jumped back two steps when Massey had just jumped up, causing Massey’s attack to miss. Gravel flew in the air, and the broadsword smashed a big hole in the ground.

“Die!”

Edith raised her own sword and stabbed with a shout, aiming at Massey’s throat.

Clang!

Massey only needed to raise his broadsword slightly to block Edith’s attack using the wide and thick body of the sword. Then, he swung his sword again with a twist of his wrists.

Bang!

Edith instantly withdrew her sword to block the force, but she was still sent flying by Massey’s strength. She fell to the ground, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. Apparently, she had suffered internal injuries.

“Little girl, I have to admit that you are very outstanding, but this is the end!”

A perverted smile appeared on Massey’s face. He was so happy to kill the weak! As he spoke, he walked toward Edith, who had yet to get up from the ground. He raised his broadsword high up, and Edith was about to be destroyed.

At this moment, with the advantage of being thin and weak, Parr jumped up. He held the hilt of his black sword in his hand and rushed forward with small steps.

Slash!

Parr used all his strength. He raised his black sword and aimed it at Massey’s neck. He planned to follow up with a horizontal slash to separate Massey’s head from his body.

“What?”

Massey really did not realize that a little boy was hiding behind him. He was already slashing down with his sword. Hence he could not stop the momentum. The disadvantage of using heavy broadswords would be the difficulty of retracting a sword strike. However, Massey did not panic at all. He even wanted to laugh.

“I have a shield!”

Crack!

Parr’s attack hit a translucent shield that appeared out of thin air behind Massey, directly turning the smooth shield into a shield full of cracks. However, Massey’s smile was soon knocked off his face, for Parr’s attack had not ended yet.

“Horizontal slash!”

Parr turned his sword and followed up with a horizontal slash. The sharp black sword, supported by 10 points of physical strength, slashed into the shield that had reached its limit. It seemed that Massey’s head would be separated from his body when the shield broke and created a shockwave.

“This is bad!”

The hair on the back of his neck stood up. In a flash, Massey decided gritted teeth. He let go of his palm, and his sword that was no longer restrained, flew out and stabbed diagonally into the ground beside Edith.

Massey turned his body sideways and blocked Parr’s horizontal slash at the cost of breaking the shield and leaving a deep cut on his left arm. His broad palm grabbed Parr’s thin and small arm, preventing Parr from executing his third attack.

Whoosh!

It was not until this moment that the shockwave from the shattering of the shield erupted. Massey’s arm caught parr, so he was not sent flying.

“Little boy, you’re outstanding!”

Massey gritted his teeth and raised his right hand to slap Parr to death. However, at this moment, Edith, who had already recovered from the shockwave, jumped up and launched another stab. This time, it was aimed at Massey’s heart.

“Die!”

However, as a Peak Knight Apprentice, Massey was stronger than Parr and Edith, and he also had rich combat experience. Otherwise, he would not have been able to block Parr’s sneak attack earlier.

Therefore, when Edith stabbed him with her sword, he managed to grab the sword with his right hand and change its direction. He then grabbed the blade and then pressed it down.

“Parr, dodge!”

Edith could only watch in horror as her sword stabbed toward Parr’s chest due to Massey’s counter-attack.

Paar’s Danger Foresight talent reached its peak in an instant, but he had nowhere to hide after being grabbed by Massey’s arm. In less than a second, Parr widened his eyes in this short period. With the help of Danger Foresight, he made the best response.

Pfft!

Parr leaned his body to the side as he tried to follow the suspicion in his heart. Edith’s sword pierced straight into his chest, but miraculously, it did not hit his vital point. Nonetheless, the HP bar on his data panel had suddenly dropped by more than 30 points.

“This little pain is nothing. After all, I’ve been hit by a truck before!”

Parr was furious. Despite the severe pain, he took a step forward and raised his left hand to grab Massey’s own hand, which was still holding the blade. He swung his right wrist, which was still held high by Massey’s forearm, and his black sword flew towards Edith in an arc. At the same time, Parr roared.

“Edith!”

“Oh no!”

Massey sensed Parr’s intention. He instantly released Parr and tried to block the black sword, but how could Parr possibly let him succeed? Parr stretched out his right hand, and this time, it was his turn to grab Massey’s arm.

“No!”

Although Massey managed to break free quickly, he was still a step too late. At this moment, Edith understood Parr’s intention. She instantly reached out to Parr’s black sword that was thrown at her.

“Die!”

Edith, who was already very close to Massey, with her beautiful eyes wide open, rushed forward.

The sharp black sword stabbed Massey’s chest and cut off his main artery. Fresh blood spurted out and sprayed all over Edith’s body.

“Uh…”

Massey felt his strength disappear. He opened his mouth wide and knelt on the ground with his hand on his chest, trying to plug the wound. However, the uneven body of the black sword prevented him from doing so.

“Parr!”

Edith did not even bother to wipe the blood on her face. After pushing Massey away, she held Parr, who was already half-kneeling on the ground. Looking at the sword which was stabbed into Parr’s chest, she was so anxious that she almost cried. She wanted to pull it out but did not dare to. She had even forgotten that she was a doctor. Only now did she look like a twelve-year-old girl.

“Cough!”

Parr looked at the HP bar rapidly dropping on the data panel and coughed twice. Just as he was about to ask Edith to pull out the sword so that he could level up and recover from his injuries, he suddenly felt a chill that made one’s hair stand on end. The source of this chill was none other than Massey, who had already died due to lack of blood.

At this moment, Massey was half-sprawled on the ground with a pool of blood flowing down his body. However, the blood that had been boiling a moment ago had lost its temperature and was rapidly forming frost.

At the same time, a cloud of white mist floated out of Massey’s head, emitting a chill that penetrated deep into the heart.

“Ah! It’s…”

Edith also felt a chill. She turned around and exclaimed when she saw the white mist rising from Massey’s body. However, before she could finish her sentence, the white mist exploded with a boom.

Boom!

Crack.

Massey’s body shattered into pieces like ice. Parr and Edith were pushed to the side of the dilapidated wall by the shockwave. Because of this, the sword that had pierced through Parr’s chest was knocked out by the wall. Parr became a fountain of blood again, and his HP instantly fell below the critical line.

‘If I don’t level up now, I will never get the chance to do so again!’

Enduring the dizziness caused by excessive blood loss, Parr looked at the data panel.

“Beep, will you consume 55 HP to advance your realm to Intermediate Knight Apprentice?”

“Yes!”

“Beep, 55 HP has been consumed. Realm upgrade completed.”

A warm current appeared out of nowhere in his heart. As his blood circulated, the penetrating wound on Parr’s chest that was spurting blood instantly healed. His physical strength had also increased by a lot. Parr had been resurrected with full health!

However, before Parr could figure out what had just happened, his Danger Foresight was activated again. He followed the premonition that had appeared in his heart and rolled to the side.

Whoosh.

A cold current directly smashed onto the spot where Parr had been, then it started to freeze.

“Oh my God! Is this ice magic?”

Parr got up. He looked up at the newly-appeared enemy in front of him. A white, translucent old man whose lower body was covered in the fog was floating in the air above Massey’s body pieces. 

“Parr, are you okay?”

Edith got up from the ground and staggered to stand in front of Parr. A white light rose from her body. She looked back at Parr’s chest and was surprised to find that Parr’s wound had disappeared without a trace.

“It’s all due to my talent!”

Parr scratched his head and vaguely explained. Then he raised his hand and pointed at the ghost-like old man in front of them.

“Edith, what is that?”

Seeing that Parr was fine, Edith breathed a sigh of relief. She believed Parr’s explanation. Talent was too fantastic to be treated with common sense.

Then, Edith turned around and looked at the old ghost.. She gulped and said with a trembling voice, “That’s a ghost! A Bronze-level ghost!”
