Chapter 152
Somehow, this scene takes me back to the time when I officially met Filyn.
A week or so after the Civil War against the monster-alliance, we were asked to support the clean-up crew back at Tir na Nog. All the friendly undead had been escorted to better living areas and it was up to the grunts to clean up the ghost city. And I was forced to come with them. Tch.
My job was to search for treasures that may have gotten trapped in the rubble, so it wasn’t so bad until I encountered that. A Curse Creature. One was born from the collective grudges of the inhabitants of Tir na Nog that died when the city was turned into a Dungeon. Worst of all, it got me with a surprise attack that sealed all my offensive skills and hurt my leg!
And at that moment, when the beast wanted to gobble me up (literally, *shivers*), Filyn, having arrived in the city to take a look at the new land we’d obtained, came to the rescue.
The Curse Creature stood no chance. It was divided into two clean pieces with one slash from Filyn’s swords.
...I don’t wanna admit it to anyone, but the suspension bridge effect got me a little that day...
But that isn’t a good reason to recreate that scene with an owner of a Virtue skill!!
The battle lasted barely a second. The geezer-General covered Filyn with his [Humility]-barrier, yet as if making fun of him, Filyn’s swords emitted something like a dark flame, and a split-second later, the geezer did a split. Like, in two halves. Seriously, over before one could wink.
"...Gaaarami~! Give me a hu-" - Filyn
*Boing!*
"-ugh...so cruel..." - Filyn
And yet again, any positive feelings I have for her’s gone. This is quite the deja vu.
