Chapter 35: Fighting the three
Riven saw the head of the adventurer flip through the air. Everything moved in slow motion, the air went stale, every breath felt like he was breathing fire, his eyes wide open, disbelief written all over his face.
As he watched the body of the adventurer hit the ground, he realized that the situation he had found himself in was more dire than he thought.
"You really thought running off after what you did would make us leave you?" the one in the middle asked. He gripped his sword tightly as he walked toward Riven.
"You used an advanced spell, kid. A kid your age should not know that, yet you did, so I’m sure you have a lot of good things to give us," he said.
’After what I just saw, these three men are really good. If I hold back even a little, I’m definitely going to die. I have to go all out.’ Riven came to a conclusion in his mind.
He started taking steps back like he was retreating in fear, slow, shaky steps. The men saw this and smiled, feeling that they had broken the heart of this kid.
But after taking a few steps, Riven made his move. He stretched out his hand and used Flame Blast again, this time he targeted the leader.
The man saw the attack. He attempted to dodge it, but he was not fast enough, so it slammed into his shoulder, followed by the full explosion that almost completely shattered his shoulder.
With the hit landed, Riven pulled his sword. He charged in at top speed, using the chaos to his advantage. He stabbed for the heart of the leader.
