The Elemental Warrior didn’t give him much time to think, it shot out three fire arrows towards Grey.
With no other option, Grey started battling the warrior.
Three minutes later…
Bang!
Grey slammed the wall heavily, the attack he received from the warrior was too fierce for his defenses to take. After it destroyed his defenses, it sent him flying, luckily, the strength of the attack was halved by his defenses.
Fresh blood could be seen dripping from the side of his mouth, his clothes were in tatters, and for the first time in a while, his bag was on the floor, one of his blades was damaged, and he wasn’t sure if it could be fixed. Now, he was left with only one.
The Elemental Warrior only gave him a few seconds, before it once again attacked him.
He wiped the blood off the side of his mouth and once again started battling with the Elemental Warrior.
The Elemental Warrior switches between close-range combat and long-range combat perfectly. Since it was equipped with a sword, it didn’t have any problems with fighting against Grey who was using his blades, if Grey retreated, it would use its bow and send out multiple arrows.
Another two minutes went by and Grey was currently on his knees, supporting his body with his bloodstained hands.
Drip! Drip!
The blood dripping from his mouth slammed the ground and the sound echoed out. There was a long slash that ran through his back which was also gushing out blood. He was struggling for breaths, panting heavily.
He managed to raise his head and looked at the Elemental Warrior, and for the first time in his life, he felt true despair.
This thing had only one thing in its mind, and that was to kill any intruders.
He couldn’t escape, there was no hope in beating his opponent, no one was going to appear and save him.
‘I can’t die here’.
He clenched his aching fists, the blood flowing from his head had already gotten into his eyes, and it was currently dampening his vision.
Given his current defenseless state, another attack from the Elemental Warrior would be fatal.
Swoosh!
An arrow shot towards Grey at a breakneck speed, he wanted to crawl out of the way, but his body didn’t allow him. He tried using his inscription to send out an attack to block the attack, but his consciousness was almost at the brink of fading, and he missed it.
Pu-Chi
The arrow pierced right through Grey’s back and came out just below his chest.
Splat!
He coughed up a mouthful of blood once again.
His vision was starting to fade, the only thing keeping him awake was his willpower. He didn’t want to die here.
Thinking back to everything he went through, from not being able to awaken his element, his three years of loneliness, his mother, his father, his friends. He still wanted to see them.
Swoosh!
Another arrow was sent towards him.
It was able to once again able easily pierce through the defenseless Grey.
The hands he was using to support himself couldn’t hold him up anymore and gave way.
Thud!
He fell head first, and the side of his face slammed into the ground before the rest of his body followed along. His inscription which was still in the air slowly started flickering before it finally faded away.
The Elemental Warrior which was about to send out another attack paused on seeing the motionless Grey.
Grey was currently lying on the ground without any movements, his consciousness was slowly fading away.
‘I can’t give up’, he thought.
Just as this thought flashed through his head, an unfamiliar technique appeared in his mind.
