Chapter 81: Capturing Gorin
The roots crumbled into ashes as Gorin cut through them. Aeic had already put a good distance between them.
He raised his hands into the air and ten roots shot out of the ground, coming at Gorin from all directions. Gorin roared in rage, he swung his sword in a circle, trying to cut through all the roots, but he missed one, and it stabbed into his shoulder.
"Roarrrrrrrrrr!" Gorin roared in pain, his voice reverberating through the forest. The root burnt off after he got stabbed, but the wound was still there.
Aric took advantage of the opportunity, he shot several boulders at Gorin, he looked up and saw the incoming boulders. He slashed at the first one and cut it, but the second and third slammed into him, sending Gorin flying.
He slammed into the ground, the flames on his body extinguished. Dirt, sticks, and rocks got into his armor, mouth, all over his body.
"I don’t know what your plan was, but you shouldn’t have come alone," Aric said.
"I will destroy you, for my master," Gorin said, he pushed himself up, the crystal in his head glowed with a blood-red light. Blood dripped from where the crystal was embedded.
Aric could tell immediately that the crystal was doing something bad to Gorin, but Gorin was not willing to stop.
He raised his blade, the red flames covered his arm and sword, the flames could not spread farther than that.
"That crystal is doing something to you, don’t kill yourself for the sake of some master," Aric said.
