Chapter 321: Escaping
Chapter 321: Escaping
This answer didn't come from Bloom but from a silhouette that appeared next to him swiftly.
"Mora... I never expected you to be here," Bloom couldn't see Mordon face but from his tone he could tell he was surprised to see Mora. "How come you be here?"
"He summoned me," Mora simply pointed to Bloom before winking to him, "I like you more now sweet human boy. Mordon never moves outside his lair except for big things. It's a rare chance to see my old friend and foe like this in the open. What a luck!"
"It's luck indeed," Mordon slowly said, "but good or bad this will be apparent after this fight is over."
"I promise you it will be a golden luck for me," Mora leisurely laughed while Bloom couldn't tell if she was bluffing or not.
"Can you step aside? I have a business deal with that human first."
"I'm not standing in your way," Bloom saw her face beam with a vicious smile before she snapped her fingers, "but you won't mind me playing a little while you do your business, right?"
The next moment a grand circle that extended for half a mile appeared on top of part of Mordon army. Before anyone could say anything, golden spears rained down and anyone standing below the circles were killed without doubt.
"Stand your dirty hands off my army bitch," Mordon seemed quit eneraged while Mora laughed.
"What? I didn't stand in your way to do your business. C'mon... snap! Do your business while I'm doing mine."
The next moment another circle hovered over the army before taking away more monsters and dark agents like before.
"You..." Mordon's roar made Bloom's heart shiver and the next moment he felt deep gazes of hatred focusing on him. "I won't forget what you did today. Keep your eyes open all the time, as no one steals something from Mordon and live to enjoy it."
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
"Hahaha, why are you in a hurry to leave? I've just arrived and we should have a friendly talk between old enemies."
The next moment Bloom watched Mordon wave his cloak before vanishing off the place amidst black fog.
And next every single one of his grand army started to vanish in the same way, however Mora kept snapping her fingers and summoning her deadly AOE attacks all over the place.
"We'll have another time to play together, I promise you that," Mordon's words echoed while Bloom felt something was coming fast towards him from the sky.
"Snap!"
Yet the next moment a grand circle appeared just meters above his and his group's head.
"Rumble!"
A fierce wave of cylindrical, giant worm-like creatures appeared the moment they hit the shield. Bloom watched those angry and crazy mouths clashing like mad dogs over the shield and felt blood frozen deep inside his veins.
"The soul eaters," Mora distatesfully said, "A fierce weapon aimed to eat away your soul."
"M- My soul?!!" Bloom was frightened like never before while his cold sweat covered his entire body at this moment.
"If they got you... forget about the game and being a player, you'll die," she calmly said before taking out a long spear and pointing it towards them. "Their weakness lies in the light, so anything that creates light can defend you and kill them."
The tip of the spear shone brightly in rays of red light.
"Sizzle!"
"Sizzle!"
"Sizzle!"
Bloom watched these hideous beings get scorched the moment the rays of light hit them. In less than a few moments, nothing of this nightmare remained.
"For Mordon to do that... he must be truly pissed off," she gazed at him in doubt while sizing him up. "What did you steal of him?"
"Nothing that might interest you."
"I hardly believe that," Mora said before glancing over, "they are gone. There is nothing here to be killed... what a shame."
Bloom felt her true regret before he suddenly recalled something.
He would have to fight a very grand war with dark forces in less than two days. "Don't be upset, in two days I'll meet him again," he jumped to this conclusion while watching her face closely.
And there he saw a glimpse of surprise over her face for a brief moment. "Are you sure?" she asked. "Mordon never comes out frequently like you believe."
"I... got something he desperately wanted," Bloom slowly said, "and in two days I'm having a big war inside the battlefield."
"Battlefield war... that seems boring."
"It's a fight inside the inner layer region of the battlefield," Bloom said, "I took a fort of strong forces there and they are really pissed off."
She didn't speak for a while as she kept gazing at him. "The inner battlefield fort?" she calmly asked, "how can a weakling like you have something dangerous like that?"
"Consider it... luck," Bloom simply said.
"I like that luck of yours," she smiled in a warm way, "enlist me in then."
He watched her turn into specks of light. "Where are you going? The hour didn't end yet," he hurriedly tried to stop her but he failed.
"There is nothing for me to do here, and if you have any plans for me then I shall give you a piece of advice... drop it! I'm not someone that was born to warm someone else's bed."
"I... didn't mean that."
"I'll save this precious time for the next fight. I want you to summon me tomorrow too to save another hour."
He understood her plan and nodded while watching her vanish from the entire place.
"Mora... I'll remember your name," he muttered.
"You better do that," her sweet laugh came out of nowhere startling him. He turned around but found no trace of her, and she never spoke again.
"Sigh, that was... so intense," he turned his gaze towards the vault before remembering something. "Wait here and guard it with your lives," he ordered before hurrying back on his horse towards the road again.
"The mayor lies there waiting for me," he greedily muttered while recalling the large number of scrolls that the mayor once had. "Everything you own will belong to me, bastard."
And he went directly towards the place where that mayor was last seen.
