Chapter 79:Running Away
When Ariana entered and started attacking, he knew he was done for. Despite being fat and useless, from the way she moved and held the sword, Altross could tell that she was proficient.
He might be a bit arrogant and egoistic but not naive and conceited enough to disregard this. Using the opportunity when Kael and Ariana was preoccupied, he decided to run away and find the dark mage.
Baron Altross ran as fast as he could, his breath heavy with anger. His fists clenched, and he spat on the ground, cursing under his breath.
"Damn it! Why the hell is that bastard so strong?" he growled, his mind racing.
He was Level 53 with base stats close to 50 and ranked C-. Kael’s mana rank was unreadable, but from his movements, his stats looked to be around 20-30, which was only D-rank. That kind of gap was impossible to overcome.
A few points in stats made a difference, but twenty points? That was bullshit! It didn’t make sense.
It was totally unethical. Moreover, he felt like getting cheated for getting beaten by such a guy.
Then, a thought struck him.
"If he really is Kael... how the fuck did he change this much in a month?" The last time he heard about him, Kael was just a worthless fool, trying to molest his fiancée. Now, he was tearing through knights like a monster.
Altross gritted his teeth. He couldn’t fight this. He needed help.
"The Dark Mage... Only he can fix this," he muttered. He turned sharply, heading toward the forest behind the town.
