Chapter 139: Critical damage

 Elmar almost clicked his tongue when he realized that he had missed the kid's vitals. Probably the pain caused by the burn messed with his aim… Regardless, he knew very well for how long a man or a kid could endure that kind of pain without passing while screaming in pain. So, it was only natural that soon, he would have another chance. However, before he could pull his spear, Zaos grabbed it.

"I don't think so, jackass," Zaos said.

 Before he could do anything, Zaos swung his sword at him. Elmar also thought of grabbing Zaos's right hand and stopping the attack, but he changed his mind when the weapon suddenly began to burn. Elmar jumped backward, but not before he kicked his own spear and made the wound on Zaos's left side hurt like a bitch. Zaos almost fell on his knees, and the pain made him lose consciousness for a few moments, but in the end, he endured it.
