I will Save this Doomed Plot

Chapter 100: Destruction(2)

Adam gave him an insolent smile.

"Ha! Do you believe you have a chance to win against me?"

"Without a doubt,"

Splash! Spurt!

"Ah, look at them, they're having a good time."

Lina looked up to see Spencer fighting the archmage candidate and Liam slicing his way through the enemy with ruthlessness. He might even break Luke's orders and kill at least half of the people here at this point.

Lina looks around, twirling her dagger in her fingers with a bored expression. Then she noticed a swarm of people charging towards her. She then let out a sigh.

"I suppose I should give it my all as an apology for almost forgetting about brother Nash."

"Ahhh!"

Lina deflected the enemy's careless attack and softly stabbed his back, just as she had been trained to do. She then turned to face the rest of the opponents in her immediate vicinity, waiting for the appropriate moment to strike.

"What are you all waiting for? Come attack me so that I can sacrifice your bodies to Nash. You cowards."

After being labeled cowards, the opponents clenched their teeth and charged ahead. Lina took a position and sliced the opponents as they approached one by one.

Blood is gushing out of everywhere, and Lina is drenched with it. But she didn't seem to mind and continued slicing.

However, it appears like she slashed too much, obstructing her eyesight with the blood spurting from the dead bodies.

Then something happened.

Lina saw a pointed weapon that looked like an arrow approaching her eyes in a single second. The weapon had gotten too close for her to avoid. She cursed herself as she watched the pointed arrow of death approach her right eye.

'Holy shit, will I go blind now?!'

Lina's lips were pursed and her fists were clenched. Sweat beads are developing on her head and back, slowly mingling with the blood on her body.

'If I could halt this arrow at the perfect moment, it wouldn't pass through my brain and kill me. Sorry, Mom, but I suppose I'll have to start wearing an eye patch from now on.'

Lina also knew how deadly Luke was at this point. This was the type of predicament he was in all of the time. She then grinned cruelly, regretting that she had looked down on him too much.

BANG!

A slash of bright red light went by her seconds before the arrow could reach her eye and hit- no, more like destroyed- the arrow. Lina took a step back in disbelief and sat down on the ground. She then rubbed her right eye and took a deep breath.

"Lina! Are you all right?"

Lina then looked at Liam, who was running towards her, tears in her eyes and heavy breathing. She then noticed Liam moving in front of her and activating his crimson aura towards someone she couldn't see due to Liam's back facing her.

"Who are you?"

Liam drew his blade and aimed it towards the silhouette of a man in the darkness. He flinched when he saw the stranger slowly walking forward, the light revealing his entire physique.

The figure was a mysterious man with dark pink hair. He's wearing a red mask that covers half of his face and wielding a weird L-shaped weapon with a smoking tip, similar to how canons look after they've done firing. Liam had a puzzled expression on his face, but he continued to point his sword at the man.

He saw it, the swift blazing light that came from that unusual weapon that not only shattered the arrow, but also killed some foes in its path. He could see how the adversaries' heads burst out when the flaming light collided with them.

And that's not all; this man has an immense amount of deadly aura around him. He reminds him of Nash... But much stronger.

'This man is a threat!'

Liam's expression became serious as he glanced at the unknown man who was quietly approaching them, seemingly unaffected even by the presence of a swordmaster.

Liam was going to slash his sword at the man as he approached his attack range, but...

BANG!

The mystery weapon's red blazing light struck the hilt of his sword again, causing his sword to fly away from his grasp. Liam tightened his fists and stared down at his trembling hands, which were almost struck by the searing light. That light has a significant amount of strength and effect, and it makes his handshake.

'Who is he?'

Liam then noticed the man approaching Lina and was going to charge forward despite his trembling hands but he noticed the man suddenly crouched in front of Lina.

Lina came to a halt, her whole body still trembling, as she stared at the masked man in front of her. The man seemed to sense this as well, as he carefully lifted his hand and placed it on top of Lina's head. He slowly pats her on the head.

Lina and Liam's eyes shook as a result of the man's unexpected movements, but the man didn't seem to mind and pulled some medicine from his bag and placed it in front of Lina. He then slowly stood up and walked back into the darkness, slowly dissipating his presence.

"You... you can't truly disregard the people who are in need, can you?"

The pink-haired man turned to face the man who stood near the bushes, waiting for him. The pink-haired man simply remained mute as the man sighed and grinned at him.

"Anyway, the archer who fired that arrow isn't your average archer. Every knight stationed here wields a sword or a spear. I don't think anyone has a bow and arrow."

The pink-haired man nodded silently and gazed up at the tower. The man then grinned and raised his head.

"It appears that you have observed as well. Shall we extend a greeting to this archer? And... That fascinating silver fellow."
