Chapter 72: Inevitable

"Stay right here and use the spell Wind Sword," Elius said, pointing to a certain bush behind three trees. "They won't be able to notice your presence since I will attack them. They will come with torches, and you should focus on those that are armed with bows. Don't hesitate in killing them."

"Yes, sir…" Zaos nodded. "But sir… is it really wise to face them with just the two of us?"

"They are just a scout party that managed to find me," Elius replied. "The others stayed behind to loot the villages."

"Still… it surprises me that someone as straightforward as your father made you learn magic," Elius furrowed his eyebrows.

"He didn't teach me, sir," Zaos replied.

"Is that so… it still is weird that he let you learn, though," Elius said.
