Chapter 27: The On-Site Duel to Kill the Enemy Leader
"Master! Master!"
The beautifully adorned lady was on the verge of tears, fearing that her husband might be on the brink of death from the pain.
Unfortunately, she didn't know any healing spells. All she could do was hastily retrieve the small book from her husband's arms and stuff it into his hands.
Thomas trembled as he took the small book with a dark green cover, pressing it against his abdomen.
He barely managed to whisper a few words. Just like when he had treated his wife's ankle earlier, the dark green light began to glow, but this time, unlike before, the healing effect didn't work.
Instead, the small book with the dark green cover suddenly burst into green flames. The burning pain made Thomas shudder, and he quickly tossed it aside.
"Damn it!"
"I'll declare war on you, Romon Thune! You damn bastard!"
Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Lord Matthews, the head of the household, hurriedly stepped in. He could stand aside and watch the spectacle, but he couldn't let things escalate into a real fight.
After all, today was his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. Two guests fighting on his territory would be a disgrace to the host.
"Get up, Thomas. I know this is just a joke. You've always been so humorous, always teasing the younger ones."
