Chapter 26: Lizard Man Invasion (Part II)
"Reina!!!"
"You crazy bitch!"
She grabbed my hand and dragged me to the battlefield. Reina has more strength than me in terms of physical terms. So, stopping her was impossible.
Reina wouldn't let me go, no matter what. All I could do was accept my fate of losing one of my lives. Reina probably also had one seeing how she wasn't scared at all.
"You better pay me more for this!"
Screaming what I wanted next to us, a sword made out of light almost hit us. The power of this seemed to be someone from our world. This was almost a friendly fire. I didn't want to go any further.
"Reina, where are we going?! Please tell me!"
This whole thing was an emotional rollercoaster. Even though I lived a shitty life, I don't want to die now.
Reina ignored me and ran toward the battlefield. After a few minutes of running, Reina found what she wanted. And what we found was Tristan.
He was on his deathbed. His body was badly mangled, and healing him would be hard. Reina used her skill to find her brother.
"What are you going to do to him?"
"I doubt you need me to kill him."
This was the perfect chance for Reina to kill him. Tristan was there unconscious. Effortless for even a kid to kill.
[Third Person POV]
The battle between Constance and Olareno raged on. Only five minutes had passed, and the two were still fighting vigorously.
Constance's light magic was still rampant, and Olareno did his best to cleave Constance. Olareno, who thought he would enjoy this battle, couldn't. His opponent was like a rat making it hard for him to catch her.
"You bitch! If you're going to keep running! I'm going to make sure you run for life!"
Olareno shouted in rage. Constance is the type of person to fight only with her magic. Constance would keep fighting from a distance, not wanting to be in the range of the lizard king.
"Foolish."
Constance replied, unbothered by what Olareno had said. Floating around in the air, the battle continued.
Constance's magic was keeping Olareno at bay. At the cost of keeping Olareno at her side, the saintess magic was doing more damage to the city than the invaders.
"You forced me to do this! Die!!!"
The lizard king wasn't going to take this battle any longer. Constance was feeling the power around Olareno change. She erected a barrier made out of light around her, trying to defend herself against an attack like this.
The lizard king's sword started to glow. Olareno was charging his weapon and began to launch it toward Constance.
[Charles POV]
"Hey Reina, what's your choice?"
Reina stared at Tristan. I didn't know what choice she would make. But seeing how she made no moves in a while meant he was safe.
"I will hear what he has to say before deciding what to do with him."
"..."
Tristan is lucky. The love that she still has for him hasn't completely faded.
Will my geass react to that? Reina could get rid of the geass if we have an agreement, so I wasn't too worried.
Deciding on what to do, Reina took a potion from her ring and fed her brother a potion. The injuries that Tristan received were much more significant than one should take.
Tristan would take months to recover, and it wouldn't be surprising if he were in a coma.
"Fuck!"
Reina and I felt the spike of aura released into the sky. The lizard king used a move that would potentially destroy the city.
We were lucky that the lizard was aiming at his opponent. Otherwise, everyone here would've died, unable to resist the attack.
With the attack exploding, everyone around us began to shake. The nearby buildings broke apart, and their pieces fell to the ground.
One of the buildings was going to fall on us. Luckily I had a shield prepared just in case an accident occurred.
Reina held her brother and ran to the nearest safe area. I followed her since she knew where the best place was.
The three of us escaped from the collapsed building, and the battle within the distance rages on. There was one lizard man near us, but I had gotten him before he could attack us.
Even with the potion that Reina had used. Tristan was still in critical condition. His bones were broken. A recovery potion could only do so much.
"Where are we going next?"
I wish Reina could communicate. Her being quiet most of the time made me nervous.
"We're going to see my family."
Reina saying what she wanted, started to walk in a different direction. Even though it was in a different direction, it was still near the battlefield.
Half of the reptilians were already dead. And more people from our world are coming in to join the fight.
[Jennifer POV]
Everyone at the party had already evacuated into a safe area underground. I should have gotten my babies here with me.
What I was more worried about was my son. Reina can predict the outcome of a situation, so her being safe was the least of my worries. Her boyfriend, who was ranked pretty high, should be able to protect her if anything went wrong.
But thinking about Tristan made my head hurt. That boy is too stubborn for his good. While he was talented and strong, the invaders attacking would be at another level.
"Honey, I can't help but worry for Tristan."
My husband was at my side, even with him here. I couldn't help but think of my son. Today was his day, but the invaders had to ruin it.
"I also worry about him, but there is nothing we can do about it. The battle is being recorded, and part of the city has already been destroyed into oblivion."
Even though we're watching the fight between the lizard king and Constance, I wish we could see the condition of our son and daughter.
I pray that nothing has happened to them.
