Chương 293: Chapter 276. Distractions From Breaking A Wall

John Ericsson's Point Of View KICK!" Wait!" Anna screamed at me to stop, but I took off running without a second thought. I saw Sarah fall. I can't let her hit the ground. I felt uncomfortable with leaving the frontline to Sarah and Princess Alice. I had a feeling something wasn't right. Then Sarah used an ability I've never seen her use before in attempt to climb our giant enemy and land the finishing blow.

Except when her halberd was about to make contact with the giant's head, a green blade came flying out of nowhere and pierced her chest. I can see her blood flowing down her dress as it leaves her chest as I move closer and closer.

"!" /RUMBLE! /" Absolutely not!" The giant noticed that I was coming, it lifted its arm to strike me, I screamed at him in turn. My blood was rushing to my head, I felt it with every breath... Every heartbeat. She's falling off of his head now! I stopped caring about plans and strategies at this point. I channel an excessive amount of mana into my hand and shout the Spell name that I hoped to cause damage to the giant... Or at least occupy his attention while I go after my real goal during the confusion."

ANGEL"S SPEAR!" /RUMBLE! CRASH! / A white spear descended from the sky and landed directly on the giant. I didn't care if it did damage. I jumped after the spear hit the giant. Grip! Warm... Wet! I was able to grab her. She's still warm, her blood is all over the place. Her breathing is shallow, but it's consistent. The bodies of Demons aren't to be underestimated it seems. I need to take the sword out of her chest and begin to hea- /Crash! Woosh! CRACK!

/ The area around us began to darken, I could tell that the giant was attempting to attack us. I made a Barrier as quickly as I could. Thankfully, it formed in time... But it won't hold for long. I opened a Portal under us. We fell through and we ended up around 50 feet away. I still have around 15% of my mana from what I've done, but it's fine. I can save her before it's too late. The first thing I need to do is get the problem away from Sarah.

The sword had pierced the right side of Sarah's chest, it was the lower part of it, however. It seemed to just miss the top of her liver... I don't know whether to be angry or thankful at the fact the sword missed the center of her chest and the more important organs around it. I sit Sarah up and have her left arm and chest lean against my chest. I needed good leverage in order to do this as quickly as possible. The Sword had no handle to grasp onto, so I just grabbed the naked blade with my hand. pain... wet...

THROW! / CLINK! / I bled, but the sword gave way, and I was able to pull it out and throw it behind us a good distance. Feeling the sword with my hand, it turned out it wasn't really a sword, it was some kind of plant... A leaf or something? Regardless of that... / GUSH! / The blood started to flow even worse ever since I pulled the weapon out of her. But it's fine... She'll be fine now. I can heal her fully now." Holy Heal!" / Woosh! / Resist... I heal her quickly my mana sinks into her body but...

Something's wrong... My mana... It's struggling to heal her... Something's... Stopping it? HIM!?" ERGGHH..." A growl escaped out of my mouth like a wild dog as I looked at the probable cause of the difficulty of healing Sarah... It's him. The God. His mana is interfering with my Holy Mana... He's smiling at me as well. If I could get my hands around his throat and fire off a Holy Flame... No! I need to focus... I need to heal Sarah... I need to figure something out. You could be reading stolen content.

Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. /RUMBLE! /"!" The giant is coming towards us. I need to open another Portal... I won't have enough mana to heal her completely if I do though. But if I get her to Anna... She could use her powers as well. Where is she? I nee- / Thump! /" I'll deal with him! Heal Sarah!" Princess Alice landed next to us and screamed at me as tears fell from her red eyes as she looked away from us in pain. Seeing Sarah bleeding is what's causing this.

If she can really handle the giant alone, that would be a gigantic help for me. I could use my mana to heal Sarah as best as I could. If there's one thing Aqua taught me, it's that Magic isn't like science or math. If I can just make the right mental image for the Spell, I can heal her." I will." / Thump! / I tell her my answer. She nods and jumps away from us, towards the giant. She starts fighting it by herself. I looked at the giant and saw that my spear had seemed to damage it somewhat.

half of its hair was gone, and blood was leaking from its skull. An eye was shut, and half of its nose was also burned off. I could almost crack a smile at the fact that I damaged it. I wish that I had more mana so I could land another spear against him... Or that bastard behind the giant. /Thump! /" What's wrong!?" Anna was next, she landed to my right and spoke with urgency. I could see the worry in her eyes as she looked back and forth between Sarah and me.

I could only wonder what my own face looked like if Anna looked so heartbroken. Even with my emotions starting to bubble up again from looking at Sarah and her blood pooling around us, I quickly snap out of it and begin to explain what's happening with Sarah currently." The God's mana is blocking my Spell and mana. I can break through it though. I just need some time to do it. Can you try using your Druid Class's Healing Spell to work on her chest to control the bleeding until I do?"" I can try."

Anna got on her knees beside me and placed her hands over the hole in Sarah's chest. Anna's hands began to glow green, and it formed a pillar of green mana going from her hands to Sarah's chest. I could see her blood was slowing down and new tissue began to grow around the edges of the hole. Good, with this, she should be out of immediate danger for now. To stop her from having any long-term dangers, that would require my Holy Heal.

Which it was time to get back to, but first, Anna sighed a breath of relief before speaking out loud." It's working... She's healing... It's slow though... That mana..."" I know. I'll handle it. We're going to save her, Anna, no matter what." Anna quickly told me that her healing was working. I needed to follow suit. I place my hands over Sarah again and cast Holy Heal again." Holy Heal!" I say it with focus this time. Now that I could focus somewhat... To explain it in a way that makes sense...

It's as if a wall is blocking Sarah from my Spell. So, this time, I manipulate my mana to be more like a speeding bullet in order to break through the wall. I'd be lying if I said this wasn't the most difficult thing I've ever had to do with my mana so far. My mana attacked the wall like I was firing a machine gun at it. I could feel it begin to creak and crack. Yes... It's giving wa- /CRASH! /" Alice!" Anna called to Princess Alice.

I look away for a moment and see that she crashed around 10 feet to the left of us. There was a trail of dirt, evidence of where she had landed during the crash. For a moment, I was seriously worried about her, even if the situation wouldn't really permit me to be able to do anything. Thankfully though, a relief washed over me as I heard Alice's voice as I saw a figure rushing out of the cloud of dirt that had formed from the crash." I'm okay! I just got sloppy!" Alice stood back up.

She seemed ready to give it another shot. I want to help her... But for now, I don't think I can. The wall is still there, but I made progre... The wall... It's reformed? How!? It must be able to heal. No matter, I just need to reapply the method I was using. Anna's also making good progress with her own healing, the hole in Sarah's chest looked to be a bit smaller now. That was more than anything I've been able to do... So far that is! / RUMBLE!

/ A sound that I dreaded entered my ears and a shadow covered Sarah, Anna and me. I knew what was coming, but I wouldn't give up yet! I prepared to make another Barrier, but a voice screamed out from behind me." NO! DON'T!" / WHOOSH! SLASH! BOOM! / After the voice warned me, a multitude of sounds filled my ears, I looked up to notice that the fist that was descending towards us like a gavel of corrupt judgement was gone. In its place, was black smoke and long, deep cut marks all around the ground. / THUMP! THUMP!

/" Sorry that took so long, Matthew! We had to make sure that all the civilians were safe from those plants! Take your time! Heal her! We'll take over and destroy that giant!"" Yes, Marquess Matthew, take your time. We'll have this handled quite soon, my flames are itching to take something down after watching that giant try again and again to stop you from healing our Princess." Two familiar faces landed beside us. It was Count Sark and his wife Kina.

They were covered in dirt and their clothes were somewhat torn, but their faces looked on in anger at the giant and the God that sat behind them. / THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! / More followed them after they spoke. The Gorse couple landed after the Sarks. Followed by Count Tye. Before long. The entire Army that we originally had at the beginning of this battle had appeared behind us. I'd lie if I said I wasn't moved somewhat by them being here, but I had more important things to do right now.

As the de facto head of this Army because of my Noble Rank, I only said one thing." Destroy the enemy in front of us!"" Of course!" The Count Families answered in unison as they all jumped at the chance to be the first Demon to land a blow on the giant in front of us. I swiftly turned my attention back to My Wife. I refuse to allow her to be injured anymore!
