Chapter 118: Assault on Exalt(Part 3)
"This really is a shame...what a pointless endeavor you’ve chosen to dedicate yourselves to. You’ve cut down so many innocent lives, and for what? Just to throw your own lives away," Remarked Fyre, with a grimace, as he evaded the swing of an axe.
"Shut up, you damned hypocrite! I know you have a grudge against those Irregulars too, and instead of exacting justice to avenge your fellow Noble and subordinate, you chose to accept those damned Commoners! For that, I’ll kill you!" Exclaimed his opponent, as he raised his axe up high.
"That’s not going to be possible. You have zero mastery over your Magic, and your proficiency with that axe is below amateur level. Thinking you can defeat me is nothing short of delusional," Responded Fyre, as he swiftly sidestepped to evade as the man swung the axe down towards him, before swiftly driving his spear forward, piercing through the left side of his opponent’s chest, eliciting a sharp gasp of pain from him.
"Y-you...bastard...," Growled the man as he shakily reached up and grabbed the handle of the spear, before Fyre channeled his Mana through the weapon, flames bursting out around the blade that was lodged in his opponent’s heart and roasting it.
Fyre pulled the spear back out and swung it across as the man collapsed onto the ground, streaks of smoke flowing out of the stab wound over his heart.
He then glanced off to his right as a terrified yell rang out, to see Siele closing in on one of the few remaining members of Exalt and swinging one of his blades across, slicing through the enemy’s neck and decapitating them.
"Looks like we can wrap this up soon, there’s only about a couple dozen or so of them left, and it’s barely even been five minutes since we attacked them," Fyre thought to himself as he surveyed his surroundings, before narrowing his eyes as he spotted a certain figure fleeing the battle and exclaimed, "Commander! He’s trying to get away!"
Jules glanced towards Fyre, before turning her gaze to the direction he was looking towards, a grimace appearing across her face as she spotted Reiss racing away.
"Oh, no, you don’t, you’re not getting away that easily, not after everything you’ve done!" She snapped as she rapidly chased after him, charging and compressing flames behind her heels as she shot towards him at top speed.
