Chapter 140.1
Brilliance of Life
It was a strange three-way fight: when Gostola and the others tried to attack Elena, I attacked them; when I moved to protect Elena,
Elena and her team were not only protected from Gostola, but she could use Sorcery, and her old butler and lady attendant also had Rank 3 strength. Even though they were weak, they would not be able to fight Gostola, who had a fighting power close to Rank 5, but they would be able to buy a little time.
It may be possible that I could use Iron Rose to get out of my current situation, but it would be meaningless if they attacked Elena in the dozens of seconds it would take to defeat either of us. Elena might buy me that time, but I could not take such a gamble by myself.
[Aria (Alicia)][Race: Human Female][Rank 4]
[Magic Power: 105/320][Strength: 153/250]
[Total Combat Power: 1428 (With Physical Enhancements: 1774)].
I had not slept for several days after being poisoned before that, and I had not recovered. Considering my Combat Skill and Physical Enhancements, it would be difficult to even use Iron Rose easily.
In a few hours it would be morning, and then the situation would change, but Gostola and the others realized that. However, they stubbornly decided to attack Elena, even at the expense of their own people. It was as if capturing Elena would be the end of everything. …Their behavior was unnatural, and I felt uncomfortable.
But nothing I would do would be any different. Nero and Viro had bought me time with their bodies and led me to this point. In order not to let that go to waste, I would protect Elena with everything I had.
“You little brat!”
A mature Dark Elf called Garry charged toward me, circular blades held in both hands. At the same time, the one-armed Gostola moved toward Elena, and at the same time, my knife clashed with Garry’s Chakram.
