"Dammit!" Arthur curses as his body slams into a large tree after crashing through several others, finally hitting the ground in pain.
'Arthur?? Are you okay??' Nyx's voice echoes in his mind as his vision blurs.
'I think so… that explosion wasn't that strong,' he responds, though the pain wracking his body suggests several of his bones might be broken.
'Not that strong??' Nyx replies sarcastically. 'I saw several high-level Elite Warriors die instantly, and you're still just a Mystic Warrior—you almost died!'
Arthur senses the worry in Nyx's tone, feeling regret for attempting such a reckless attack. 'Shit! Does everyone have protective treasures??'
'Young Masters from powerful families certainly do. You need to learn to handle that,' Nyx advises while trying to materialize her body in front of Arthur.
I'm going to divide this scene into two chapters so the chapter doesn't get too long. Hope you enjoy and thanks for reading!
