บท 179: Face off

Mr. C did not even make sure if the elder was still breathing before he flashed towards Celes who was clearly shocked from what had happened. He didn't even have the time to react when the enemy was already in front of him. He stared wide eyed at the enemy standing right in front of him.

"Your holy flames won't have any effects on me. Holy power can only work on creatures that have a spirit and that is something I don't have." The butler did not hesitate to kindly inform the man of the reason why he didn't flinch even after being burned with those sacred flames.

The elder was silent for a moment before he sighed and totally slumped on the hard ground. He then laughed and stared at the sky. "I guess I'm not that mighty then." He mockingly laughed at himself because now he knew that he was not undefeated.

Mr. C did not speak for a while before he turned around and started to walk away. Celes gave the man's back a puzzled look. "Why aren't you killing me?" He asked.
