Bab 217: Burden to carry

Gary continued to charge forward completely ignoring those behind him. He eventually reached the creature and continued to slash at it with his black sword until the creature eventually fell down to the floor.

It was only then when the creature had died was Gary aware of everything that had happened around him.

Without any hesitation, Berg had jumped in front of Lilly to save her life. It was his duty. As soon as the blood had made contact with Berg's skin, he had died in a matter of seconds, perhaps even before his body had hit the ground.

Lilly stared down at Berg in shock. Berg had been Lilly's guard for as long as she could remember. Even when she stayed at the castle as a kid, Berg had always been there for her. Making sure to protect her from strangers, from bullies, from the outside world and now all of a sudden, he was dead, no more. Lilly wouldn't be able to hear Berg's voice ever again.
