章節 29: Prevail
Dead people don't come back. We all know that! So, we just remember them in our memories and move on.
But what if someone saw a dead man come back and that too being perfectly fine. Well, the person who will see that will become extremely shocked.
And right now, something like this is happening outside the Duel Fencer Academy.
The man who came back from the dead was Liberi.
And the man who was feeling shocked was Vrama.
Dreamer made a plan to defeat Vrama. And he succeeded in it too.
His plan was to call Vrama closer to him and when Vrama would be close enough, he would call out Liberi without his face covered. And after seeing Liberi, Vrama will become shocked and then Liberi will use this chance to cut Vrama's throat and then Vrama will barely be able to breathe. In short, Dreamer won against Vrama.
"Vrama! You...were…asking me…repeatedly that…where is…my friend…where is…my friend…and when…I called…my friend…you are…dying!...if you…just wanted…to die…then why…did you…waste my…time and…cut my…limbs!?...hahaha!" spoke Dreamer while lying down as he was also in too much pain and on top of pain he was poisoned too but he still managed to laugh at Vrama.
"How…is..this…possible!? Bane!...how..are..you alive.?" uttered Vrama as he was still shocked about all this and blood was still oozing down from his throat.
"Liberi!..you talk…to him…I am not in…the state to…talk and….finish it fast…as I only…have 3 minutes…aaaaaa…dammit!" commanded Dreamer while screaming as the pain was getting uncontrollable.
"Yes! My lord." replied Liberi as he was worried about Dreamer too.
"Liberi?... My lord?....What is this?...You are Bane, right?....The vice principal?...Who is…this Liberi guy?" iterated Vrama while holding his throat in order to stop the blood and after hearing Dreamer and Liberi's conversation he became confused too.
"Vrama! You must be wondering, how am I alive? You saw me dead and other things. But it is what it is. So…" said Liberi and while holding his sword in an attacking position he continued in an angry tone.
"Just die in suspense!"
And while saying this, Liberi cleanly cut down Vrama's head and Vrama's lifeless body fell down on the ground.
Vrama's head was also lying down in the ground with a shocked expression and like this, The principal of the Duel Fencer Academy, A Pro Soul Knight rank individual, Vrama Lascot, died with his eyes wide open.
After Vrama died Dreamer heard some system notifications in his head.
[ Congratulations! Host defeated a Pro Intermediate rank enemy ]
[ … ]
But as Dreamer was poisoned and in too much pain he ignored them.
"Huff! Finally! It's over and my sword is now with me! My lord your plan was g.. my lord!" said Liberi and he was going to congratulate Dreamer but when Liberi saw Dreamer he remembered that Dreamer is poisoned so he went to Dreamer to take him home.
"My lord! We won but now what are you gonna do? The poison must have spread around your body by now!" concerned Liberi as he picked Dreamer from the ground and put Dreamer's left hand around his shoulders to make Dreamer stand up.
"I know!...Just...take me to...Vrama's body…Hurry!" ordered Dreamer as he adjusted his footing by his right leg.
"Yes, my lord!" replied Liberi and started walking towards Vrama's body.
Soon, Dreamer and Liberi got close to Vrama's body. And Dreamer got a good look at Vrama's body. But after looking at Vrama's body he showed a confused look.
'Why can't I see his soul coming out of his body?' thought Dreamer in his mind. 'But there is no harm in trying.'
Dreamer was talking about Vrama's soul because he intends to take Vrama's soul in his possession. But he was a little confused because he couldn't see Vrama's soul coming out of his body like he saw with the Slavonian Boar. But he still decided to stop near Vrama's body and try out his skill, Soul Snatching on Vrama.
"Stop! It's good enough and I need to use my left hand so come to my right side to support me." said Dreamer as he stopped walking.
"Yes, my lord." said Liberi and moved to Dreamer's right side to support him.
After Liberi went to Dreamer's right side, Dreamer stretched his left hand towards Vrama's body and spoke,
"Seize!!"
But it didn't go as Dreamer planned because nothing came out of Vrama's body and after a few seconds some notifications resounded in his mind.
[ Host's Soul Power is not enough! ]
[ Host can't snatch the target's soul! ]
[ Host is in critical condition! ]
[ Host will die in 1 minute if nothing is done! ]
'Dammit! I am still too weak. I thought by snatching his soul I might get a skill that can make me immune to this poison. But it didn't happen! Dammit!' cursed Dreamer in his mind as he got to know that he only has 1 minute left.
"Liberi! Leave me for a second and search his body, his space bracelet, everything. And try to find an antidote for this poison. Hurry! I only have one minute to live!" ordered Dreamer loudly as he was not willing to die here.
After receiving Dreamer's order Liberi just nodded and slowly placed Dreamer on the ground as he went to search for an antidote from Vrama's body.
Although Vrama's true form, Gilgamesh, wasn't wearing any clothes so Liberi just searched Vrama's space bracelet for the antidote.
He removed the space bracelet from Vrama's hand and took out all its items outside.
There were many items inside Vrama's space bracelet but Liberi didn't focus on that; he just looked for something that resembled an antidote.
Eventually, Liberi found two paper bags of red and green colour and after thinking for a few seconds he picked up the green colour bag from the space bracelet.
Liberi chose the green bag because when he saw Vrama's Gilgamesh form he saw the red scales on him so he thought that red must mean dangerous and as red was out of option then the only choice left was to pick up the green one.
"My lord! I found it!" shouted Liberi joyfully as he was happy to help his lord.
"Great! Now...stop smiling and…give me that…just 30 seconds…are…left! FAST!" screamed Dreamer as the pain was getting too much and the system's notification was also making him angry.
[ Host is in critical condition! ]
[ Host will die in just 30 seconds if nothing is done! ]
After hearing Dreamer's screams Liberi ran towards Dreamer and after getting close to Dreamer he opened the paper bag.
Inside the bag there were green pills so Liberi just took out one pill and fed it to Dreamer.
"One is… not enough! Give me… more. Four!...Four is…enough. Give me…four." uttered Dreamer in a barely audible voice.
Liberi just nodded at this and took out four pills in his hand. Then he opened Dreamer's mouth and fed him four pills straight.
After giving four pills Liberi just waited for the pill to show its effect.
And just after a few seconds changes started to happen. Dreamer's skin which was turned into purple colour because of Vrama's poison started to return to its original state.
Dreamer's heavy breathing slowed down and returned to its original pace too.
And after five minutes Dreamer finally opened his eyes and this time he was able to see clearly as because of Vrama's poison Dreamer's eyesight was greatly affected.
His right hand and left leg were still missing but atleast Dreamer was able to speak properly now.
"Thank you. Liberi!" said Dreamer as he was finally feeling well but he was still lying on the ground.
"Don't say that. My lord! And I think we should go now!" advised Liberi as he tried to pick up Dreamer again from the ground but Dreamer stopped Liberi in doing so.
"Yeah, I know! That halfling must be coming too. But before leaving, take Vrama's space bracelet and store his body inside the space bracelet too. And when you are done, come and pick me up and then we will leave this place. Understand!" commanded Dreamer as he didn't want to lose various things that would be inside Vrama's space bracelet.
"As you wish! My lord." replied Liberi as he started to place the items that he took out in order to find the antidote back in the space bracelet and in the end he also put Vrama's dead body inside the space bracelet too.
And after Liberi finished all this, he went to Dreamer and picked him up.
"You done?" asked Dreamer as he stood up with the help of Liberi's support.
"Yes! my lord. Here." replied Liberi as he showed Dreamer the space bracelet of Vrama.
"Good! For now, you keep it, I will take it later." said Dreamer as he started walking too.
"As you wish, my lord. But, where are we going now?" asked Liberi as he knew it too that going back home can be risky because the halfling John knows their names, so there is a chance that the halfling John can find their homes and take revenge.
"Just go straight to the forest. We will try to live there for a few days and increase our strength because after barely being alive I got to know just how weak we are!" iterated Dreamer in a serious tone as he decided that he will become stronger.
"Yes, my lord! Let's go. But I am curious about what will the people inside the academy think? Because the principal isn't coming back." asked Liberi while moving his head behind to see the academy. And after saying this he started walking again with Dreamer.
"Ha ha!" laughed Dreamer after hearing Liberi's question and while walking towards the forest, he laughed again and spoke in a playful manner,
"They will just think that the principal was a liar after all. Hahaha!"
