However, it was something for later. Now, Toby only used his new power in the most primitive way, which was to attack Shadow by hurling gravity waves like bullets.
…
Continuous shock waves caused bruises for form all over Shadow’s body.
Shadow couldn’t move while his heart was tearing up in pain, but he couldn’t just ignore Toby’s attacks either. Therefore, he ordered the Krakoks to defend him for the time being.
Both the Krakoks and Toby were adept at speed, which was quite useless in this small room. They gradually entered into a stalemate.
As the creatures fought, Shadow yelled out loudly to ease his pain, “Why is this happening?! HE SAT THERE ON HIS OWN!! I f*cking warned him!
“Damn you! I can’t die here! What’s the f*cking deal?!”
There was no doubt that his heartache was caused by Kurna’s Pact. He didn’t directly cause Angor’s condition, so the pact didn’t blame him for Angor’s injury, seeing how the pain didn’t come when the small door torn through Angor’s chest.
But why now?
And this was getting unbearable!
Shadow suddenly remembered something and struggled toward Angor by crawling slowly.
When he saw Shadow moving toward Angor, Toby ignored the Krakoks and lashed out at Shadow again.
“Gahhh!”
Shadow’s right hand was bent in a strange angle under Toby’s kick.
Toby went away to prepare for another attack.
“STOP IT, if you want to see your damn master alive!” Shadow barked.
Toby halted his attack after he heard those words. He slowly fluttered and landed beside Angor’s “corpse”.
Toby thought Angor was dead since the wound on Angor’s chest looked so terrible, but now that he took another close look, he could see Angor’s chest still rising slowly… albeit barely.
As Toby regained hope, Shadow had reached Angor and began to examine him.
“Sh*t! He’s not dead yet!”
The Kurna’s Pact had no problem with the Krakoks’ door; it was punishing him for not saving Angor’s life.
And the pact was still working because it believed that Angor could still be saved.
Shadow cursed, and despite his unwillingness, he had to take care of Angor’s wound in order not to get burned alive by the magic covenant.
“Outta my way, filthy chicken!”
Toby silently stepped aside. He would bear with the verbal assault as long as Angor could come back to him.
“That coat—a built-in level-1 defense cantrip?!” Shadow exclaimed in surprise as he removed Angor’s outer outfit. This suit alone would sell for several thousand crystals out there.
Next was Angor’s shirt.
“What the hell is this?” Shadow saw a pendant in front of Angor’s chest—something that looked like a glazed sphere.
Shadow inspected for a second and regarded it as a common decoration. He then turned to observe Angor’s wrist.
“A mid-tier space bracelet… with an extra enchantment?!”
Shadow didn’t know alchemy, but as someone who came from Floating Mech City, he was good at identifying magical items.
“Damn… it already got an owner.”
Shadow really wanted to question Angor’s identity now. These two items were worth at least 50,000 magic crystals if sold on any market.
There weren’t many wizards who could carry so much money around. How did a level-2 apprentice get his hands on such great trophies?
Instead of thinking about Angor’s alchemist title, Shadow believed that Angor came from someone powerful.
While he endured the great jealousy, Shadow managed to look away from the valuable bracelet and looked at Angor’s bleeding chest.
Three ribs on the left were broken, but the heart was unharmed.
Shadow glared at his Krakoks and complained, “Why didn’t you move your door just a little bit farther?! Then he’d have died!”
All the bleeding was caused by external wounds. Shadow cast a spell to temporary affix Angor’s bones and used Heal to seal the other injuries.
When Angor was stabilized, Shadow found his heartache gone.
“B*tch. I spent all my mana again! I got these wounds from your damn bird, and I still have to look after you!” Shadow kept cursing. “And you only need to sleep!”
When Toby saw Angor was safe, he suddenly felt faint and crashed alongside Angor.
“… And your bird! Just like you!” Shadow picked Toby up. Once he made sure that the bird was simply unconscious, he then tossed him back at Angor.
