Chapter 34: Instinct

"You're going to let me hack this kid to death?" Arthur's hands clenched, looking at the half-human, half-ghost-like corpse in front of him, and the desire to vomit came up again, "Hack him to death, and you'll let us go?"

"Ah...... Ahhhh......h That's right...... Come on, let's do it...... Hahahaha...... Destroy this seed of vengeance......"

"Arthur can't do it!" Naine shouted anxiously, and she didn't know why, so she shouted like this, "You can't kill that child!"

Arthur subconsciously gritted his teeth: "Huh...... What the hell is the mess ......"

The child did not make a rustling sound, he raised his head, and his eyeless sockets were like two dark hollows, and those two black holes looked straight at Arthur, and he was dizzy at the sight. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"you...... Why, why should I listen to you!I'm going to get out of here, I'll cut whoever stands in my way!", Arthur used what little weakness he had left to support his body, and stepped back step by step. After taking a few steps back guardedly, he turned around and walked towards the bank of the river where Werther and Nayin were.

Seeing Arthur coming, Naine rushed up to help, but saw the child who was motionless suddenly raised his dagger and was about to stab Arthur in the back, she instantly shouted: "Arthur!"

Werther and Nayin shouted at the same time, and as they watched as the dagger fell, Arthur twisted and swung his sword, his small body cut in half and poured into the river.

"Hahahahaha...... Well chopped, well chopped...... Hahaha......"

Arthur's head was dizzy, he didn't know how he could feel the sneak attack from behind, and where the power came from to support such a speed, swinging his sword and slashing out. Obviously I don't have any strength at all, I obviously don't want to.

Did he think he would survive this?

The rustle is still there, it's noisy, Naine is in front, and it's almost there......

Aiming at the target, Vitra shot out with a full bowstring, the arrow straight through the river, inserting into the laughing body, and the flames quickly soared, merging with the flames on the surface of the river to become a sea of fire.

At the moment when his body collapsed, Arthur struggled and reached out to Nayin, who was rushing to him.

He couldn't see clearly, his vision blurred, and all around him became quiet, the shouts of his companions, the sound of burning flames were all gone, only the hoarse and strange rustling sound still swirled in his head.

"Yo, the child of fate born in a curse...... Remember...... Remember...... One day you will avenge us...... Be careful...... Don't be tempted by the light, be careful...... Your choice ......"

The re-consciousness brought back the senses, the fresh air, and the comfort of the soft bed, so that Arthur quickly understood that he was no longer in the pit, so he did not get anxious, and felt the awakening of his body in a way that gradually adapted, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Arthur, you're awake!" Naine sat on the wooden chair next to the bed, and although she had been sitting for a long, long time, she still maintained a formal and serious sitting posture.

Seeing Arthur wake up, the girl's empty heart finally let go. She smiled and leaned over so that the still somewhat confused teenager could see her.

"How does your body feel, is there anything uncomfortable, do you want to drink water?"

After looking around, the black eyes looked back at the girl's lovely and delicate face.

"It was the hostel in Bangor and we were in ...... Bangor. Arthur sniffled, then closed his eyes hard and opened them again, the familiar room giving him the feeling that he had gone back in time, "Did you end up back here...... Where's Vitgo?"

"Werther went to explore the pits, with Parker. Seeing Arthur's worried look, Naine quickly explained, "Don't worry, there will be no danger." When you pass out, the ground suddenly shakes, the river rises, and a large stream of water suddenly rushes out. It happened so fast that we didn't have time to escape, and we were all drowned in the water along with the rotting corpses. When we woke up, we were already outside the pit, but not the same entrance we had taken when we went, but a forest not far from the Great Lake. Neither Werther nor I were hurt, only you were still unconscious. On the way we met Parker, who turned out to be close to the lumber yard where he worked, and he took us back to the hotel. ”

Arthur snorted, "We really have a relationship with him. ”

"Hah, indeed. Werther was also very tired, and after settling you down, he slept all day. When he woke up, he went to the mine to see, and both the entrance when we went there and the entrance to the cave when we came out were all sealed. ”

"Sealed?"

Naine nodded and continued, "Yes. Witt and Parker said that there was a problem with the pit, and Parker led a few experienced old miners to investigate today, and they went there in the morning, and they should be back soon. ”

"Oh...... So I slept for a long time?"

"Well, it's been two days. ”

"Wow, that's been a long time. Sitting up slowly, Arthur still felt a little weak, "You've been taking care of me, it's been hard." ”

"What's so hard about this, you just sleep, and you don't need me to do anything. ”

"The ......"

"Huh?"

Thinking about what to say, Arthur scratched his face: "I've slept for so long, did you say it...... Belch...... Dream talk or something?"

"Dream talk?" Naine blinked, "No, you slept very deeply, and you didn't move at all." ”

"Ah, yes, that's ......" Arthur lowered his head and looked at the white sheets and quilt, a little relieved.

"Well, I'm seriously overdrawn. What? Did Arthur dream?"

"Uh-huh, no, no dreams. Raising his face and shaking his head, Arthur smiled stupidly, "I slept like a dead pig, I didn't have a dream, and I was very peaceful." ”

"Well, that's good, I hope you can recover soon. Naine smiled as well.

"Ah...... Nayin. ”

"Huh?"

His right hand moved subconsciously, Arthur lowered his gaze, he didn't understand, he was obviously confused at that time, but now, the touch of cutting off the child's carrion remained in this hand, in his heart.

Arthur didn't understand, why at that time, he would not hesitate to swing his sword?

"I ...... At that time, I didn't want to ......"

"Don't you want to kill that child Spirit?"

Nain's words made Arthur raise his gaze, quickly lowered it again, and then nodded lightly: "Hmm...... I don't know why, I just did that. ”

"Arthur is a warrior, not only a warrior, but anyone who feels danger will react instinctively, and this is natural. ”

"But perhaps, maybe there is another way. ”

"Well, yes, but for Arthur, it's your instinct to swing your sword, so that's all you have to do. ”

"Is it my instinct to swing my sword......"

Arthur looked at his hands, his fingers outstretched, and the marks caused by his sword practice since childhood abounded. Every scar, every hard callus, is a proof of my daily hardships. I also resented my mother's strictness, and I also questioned the purpose of hard sword learning, but I never thought that one day these hands would swing a sword and cut off the young life.

"Nain. ”

"Huh?"

"Do you think I'm a bad person?"
