Chapter 16: Lucien and Irelia - Relic?
Lucien shouted, then slowly emerged from behind the large tree.
He limped, using his greatsword as a crutch.
His eyes were still affected by the snake’s poisonous smoke from earlier, and with dusk falling, he truly couldn’t see clearly what the girl in front of him looked like.
Though he couldn’t see her clearly, she could see him very well.
The girl was a little surprised when she saw the look in his eyes and all his wounds.
A dagger was still embedded in his thigh, his body was covered in countless bleeding wounds.
But most striking of all were his eyes... They made her both surprised and a little afraid.
Those eyes seemed to hold a fire within, filled with hatred and resolve, as if hell was right behind him and the only thing he could do was keep moving forward.
"You... you..." Seeing Lucien, the girl stammered, forgetting what she was about to say.
Lucien panted, gritting his teeth, and placed a hand on his chest. Even though he was badly injured, he still performed the noble’s greeting etiquette.
He wanted to show friendliness, to let the other person know he wasn’t a bad guy.
