Chapter 52: The Scent of Mana
Meanwhile, in the Knight outpost in Sapphire City, which was under the jurisdiction of the First Squad...
"Hey, what do you think you’re doing? I thought the Captain warned you about this, you damned alcoholic," Frowned one of the Knights.
"Whatever, he’sh off on patrol, I can do what I want," Came a slurring response.
"Tch, you may not be a part of our squad, but that doesn’t mean you can do as you please. I must insist that you follow our rules while you’re here, we aren’t as disorganized and ill-disciplined as your Third Squad. As Knights and members of Nobility, we must be dignified in our conduct. Put the bottle down, we need you to be sober and alert in case something happens. That’s the whole reason why you’re here, because you’re a Teleporter capable of long-range teleportation."
"Pleashe, why would I washte my effort over a group of shtupid Commoners? And beshides, I can use my Magic jusht fine even if I’m not shober," Responded the Teleporter, as he took a deep gulp from his bottle of liquor.
"You insubordinate asshole..."
"Is every member of the Third Squad like this? It’s no wonder their Captain and First-Class Knights were so easily wiped out."
"Maybe we should just kick this bastard out and make do with the Teleport Spell Cards, he’s an eyesore, not to mention he reeks of booze."
"Grr, I can hear you, ashholes! You need me more than I need you, sho shut the fuck up and-...!" Exclaimed the Teleporter as he got back onto his feet aggressively and stumbled forward, before he was abruptly cut off as something came shooting in through the doorway and struck his chest, before piercing in and getting lodged in.
He let out a sharp yell of pain as he coughed out blood, shakily turning his gaze down to his chest before crying out in horror at the sight that met him, a long, sharp bony arrow pierced into the middle of his chest.
"What the-...?" Began one of the other Knights in shock, before trailing off as a figure came zipping in through the entrance rapidly, charging towards the Teleporter and leaping straight towards him as they closed in.
