Chapter 50: The One Loved by Chaos
Noel yelled in anger. He took his sword, charging at the Golem to finish it off. Riven looked up, seeing Noel run in that recklessly. "Noel, stop!" he yelled, but his brother wasn’t listening. He jumped into the air and stabbed down at the golem.
The golem suddenly moved its arm and slammed into Noel so hard that he shattered several ribs and sent him flying into a wall.
Noel slammed against the wall and coughed up blood. He fell down to the ground, barely moving, his breathing was forced and short.
"Shit, Noel." Riven tried to push himself up. He fell down, but tried again and got to his feet. He carried his sword and tried to do the same thing that he had done before, but he immediately suffered a heavy backlash from the lack of Mana and fell to the ground, coughing out blood.
"Fuck," he cursed in anger. He tried again, pushing himself up. He took out his health potion, but he only had one more. If he used it, he didn’t have any to give to his brother.
He placed the potion back into his inventory and pulled out a vitality potion. He slowly drank it and gained some energy. But even with renewed energy, he was still injured and broken. The pain still shot through his body, making him feel like dying.
To add salt to injury, the golem began moving. It started dragging itself up. When Riven saw this, he began to panic. "No, no, no, no."
He forced himself back up to his feet. He held his sword and tried to charge in again, but his entire body jerked in immense pain, as if the world went black for a moment.
He coughed up another huge amount of blood and fell to his knees. The golem had gotten up on one foot. It turned around and stared at Riven, and then swung its hand, slamming Riven right in the chest again.
