Chapter 22: Escape
Chapter 22: Escape
Kraftvoll was in complete despair to the point that he was not able to hear Stark when he shouted.
Although Stark pitied him, he needed to follow the command of the Earl. Also, when he was watching the conversation between the parent and child, Stark was given more sense of duty in keeping Kraftvoll's safety.
"Kid, we have to go!" Stark shouted.
Kraftvoll finally came to his senses but he still refused to go, "I won't go away, sir Stark! I'm gonna stay here with them!" Kraftvoll furiously said.
"Don't be a stubborn brat! Remember what your mother said to you! You must live on! In that way, you can avenge their death someday! You will be able to bring justice to whoever did these horrible things to your parents and your homeland." Stark desperately stated.
He was left no choice by the situation, the only way to convince Kraftvoll to escape here was to give him a reason to live even if it's in the name of revenge.
After hearing this, Kraftvoll's heart was filled in rage and feelings of wanting revenge. 'Sir Stark is right. I have to live now so that someday, I'm gonna kill those who killed my parents!' Kraftvoll fiercely thought to himself.
Kraftvoll nodded in response to Stark's proposal. Stark was elated in his mind but didn't show it at all because of what had recently transpired. "Okay, let's go, kid!
Kraftvoll nodded in response.
As they escaped away, Kraftvoll's sight was in the direction of his parents. He mumbled to himself, "I'll avenge you two someday!"
After swearing that, he wiped out the tears in his eyes and didn't look back any further. He followed Stark to escape Schild city.
They were not able to give them a proper burial because if they spent more time here, the attackers might come back and their lives would be in danger and the promise that they want to keep might be broken as a result of that.
After going outside, the two dragons diligently waited for the two of them. When Kraftvoll saw them, he said, "Let's go, Ouryuu, Azari!" The two dragons nodded in response.
Despite the dragons' injuries, they can still use their wings. Kraftvoll and Stark decided to not fly because this will make them visible in the skies, making their escape more difficult than it was.
After running for a while, they reached the area near the exit of Schild City. As they got nearer to the city's gate, they saw a soldier fighting one of the attackers.
While the enemy engaged in battle with one of Schild City's soldiers, Stark started chanting, "Ye who represents destruction, heed my words, destroy those who refuse to yield to me, Explosion!"
A spell similar to Fire Burst was unleashed. But this spell undeniably caused more destruction than Fire Burst. The enemy, who was hit by this, was killed instantly.
"Sir Stark!" the soldier who fought the enemy said as he came near Kraftvoll and Stark.
Kraftvoll went near the corpse of the enemy and he saw a creature that can be described as a humanoid dragon. "What is this!?" asked Kraftvoll.
"This is the first time you have seen a draconian, huh. Well, this is an enemy from the Draconian race which belongs to the enemy alliance known as Dark Alliance." Stark explained.
This is the first time Kraftvoll saw a person from the other races. Even when he was at the royal capital, Stolz city, he was not able to see one person from another race. The main reason for this was that majority of their journey to the royal capital, they were inside the carriage of the Earl.
After Stark's explanation, two soldiers of the Orc race came. Both of them are in the Seishin Sage rank in terms of seishin cultivation. Stark started to get ready to engage in battle. "Soldier, protect this kid! Escape to the next territory, Yorkshire city. Go ahead without me, I'm gonna hold this two myself."
Kraftvoll and the soldier nodded in response and they quickly ran to the direction that will lead outside the territory of Schild City.
