SPELLBOUND Chapter 338 - Heroic

Chapter 338 - Heroic

"d.a.m.n it! d.a.m.n it all!!! I can't hold this ugly monster back anymore! RUN!!! d.a.m.n it!!" Levy shouted at the three children whom he had found hiding in their abandoned home. There were no signs of their parents anywhere nearby. They were either dead or had run off on their own. A savage orc found them and was about to step on them to death when Levy spotted them and rushed over to their rescue.

He launched himself at the savage orc, slashing his blade across its thick and ugly throat, hoping that the injury would slow it down a little and grant the children some time to escape. He then shouted at the children to quickly run.

The terrified children scrambled away as fast as they could as Levy tried his best to stall this orc until the children managed to make a clean escape. He knew he would not be able to kill it off with the strength that he had left.

Like everyone else, he had been fighting nonstop for two days straight. The fight with the beast horde this time had depleted his strength to its last drop.

"F*ck!" he cursed as the orc managed to land a deadly hit on him..

Levy landed hard on the ground, spitting out blood. "d.a.m.n! I refuse to die here, d.a.m.n it! I still need to see those beauties again!" he muttered as he forced himself to stand. His body was trembling, and he knew he had no more strength left to fight on. "F*ck! This is so lame! This is what you get for trying to be so heroic, d.a.m.n it!" he scolded himself, knowing that the orc was approaching again, and he knew he could not go against it anymore. He sighed ruefully to himself.

"Oh well, I think I had killed ten orcs, one savage orc and countless dark wolves the entire night all by myself. Oh, and I think I managed to save about a hundred citizens and helped them escape successfully. That's quite a good number there, now that I think about it. No wonder I'm at my very last strength." He continued mumbling as he finally managed to stand and face the large orc before him. "Tch, can't I at least see a beauty first before I die? I don't want to die in the hands of this ugly s.h.i.t! I want to die in the arms of a beauty at least! I want the last view that my eyes see to be a beauty!!" he complained and wailed loudly as he watched the orc finally launch itself at him.

He sighed and closed his eyes. "I'm sorry Your Highnesses and my brothers… I think my time is up." He muttered as he waited for his demise.

But to his surprise, even after waiting for quite a few seconds, nothing happened. His demise did not come as he expected. He heard a sound of sword instead and when he opened his eyes, he saw the orc falling back and dropped on the ground like a ma.s.sive ugly and fat caterpillar.

"Who the h.e.l.l said your time is up? It's not yet time, you idiot." Leon's voice echoed from somewhere in front of him as he looked at Levy over his shoulder. Though his tone was scolding, on his face was a slight grin, telling Levy how glad he was in seeing him.

Levy gaped at him and then he fell forward on his knees.

"Leon, my hero…" he cried comically as he let himself fall to the ground with so much exhaustion.

Leon approached him and crouched down to check on Levy's wounds.

"I was hoping for a beauty to appear and come to my rescue though," Levy grumbled loud enough for anyone nearby to hear him as Leon quickly cut through his clothes with his sword to see a large wound that was gored through his upper abdomen. When a vampire was too weak, his body would not be able to heal at all and it would eventually lead to his death.

"Sorry, to disappoint you, but there will be no beauty coming." Leon replied with a weak smile as he quickly grabbed his medicine, his attempt at humour failing badly as his worry for Levy's wound increased. Looking into his medicine pouch, he frowned as there was only a little left.

"Hey, are you sure you'd want to use that on me? You'll need it sooner or later." Levy tried to lighten the grim atmosphere that was around Leon. He knew that his wounds were quite severe if it could not be left alone to heal on its own.

"Shut up."

"Haha. Are you trying to make me fall in love with you – ahh!!!"

Leon had purposely pressed on his wound, making man scream in pain. "I told you to shut up."

"d.a.m.n you! Are you trying to save me or kill me! Ugh!" Tears leaked out of the corners of Levy's eyes as he breathed through the pain, narrowing his eyes at Leon in warning, daring him to try that again. Leon only gave a small smirk before continuing his work on Levy.

After wrapping Levy's wound, Leon looked around.

"Where's everyone? I hope they're not in as bad shape as I am." Levy then asked.

"I don't know. I saw Samuel… but that was hours ago. But I'm guessing that he'll be fine. He asked me to look for you alone, so I think he should already be in contact with the others."

"Oh, I see. Did anyone finally found out what in the f.u.c.king h.e.l.l is going on?"

"I'm not sure. We need to be reunited with them –"

Leon's words were cut off at the sound of a scream. A child's scream to be exact.

"s.h.i.t! The children! They failed to escape?!" Levy exclaimed as he tried to sit up, but Leon pinned him down with just one hand and gave him a serious glare.

"Stay still or you'll waste the medicine I just applied on you. Let the wound absorb it first. I'll go check." Leon rose and then abruptly disappeared.

He saw the three children in one corner of a wall, where a young boy was blocking two young girls behind him as a large dark wolf was about to launch itself at them. As the dark wolf leapt forward and was halfway to the children, Leon struck the wolf in the head with one strike and it slammed into the ground, totally unmoving.

The children looked up at him, shock and awe shining in the depths of their eyes.

"Follow me," Leon instructed them, and the young boy immediately grabbed the girls' trembling hands and pulled them along with him as they followed after Leon.
