699 The Dark Knight Descends

“The strongest companion any warrior can have is in front of us. You have become worthy of being a proud warrior, my sweet daughter.” Lamin proudly said.

“Mother. Father. Thank you. I love you both so much. But running away and abandoning you will never happen. Instead, Night and I will remain with Vincent.”

“Awa. It would be best if you led your people instead of remaining with me. I will stay here to stall that unkillable monster as much as I can.”

“No, Vincent. Night and I will remain here. We will fight by your side.” Awa hardheadedly said. She wanted to remain with Vincent, causing the suspicion the mare Awa named Night was more than it appeared to be.

Vincent focused his gaze on Night. The appearing status window took both Vincent and Kazumi by surprise. They didn’t think such a thing was possible.

.

Vincent and Kazumi now understood where Awa gained her confidence from.

Awa could become one with her horse. Not only could the stats be shared, but the limb count could possibly be shared as well.

However, Vincent and Kazumi weren’t too sure if the multiplication stacking would work. The chance was fifty-fifty. Regardless, Awa was the fasted moving being in the area.

Vincent wanted to comment on how strong Awa could become or how Night couldn’t be used to carry the injured Dullahans. But now wasn’t the time to do so. They spent too much time.

Vincent moved forward. He patted Awa’s shoulder and said, “Prepare to stay with me.”

Awa became happy to hear she could stay back with him. “I will protect you.” She said while smiling.

Plow frowned. She wanted to stay and help Vincent, but her power was still weak, and the duration of her large form was small.

Plow approached Zero and asked, “Can Zero Zero help Plow protect Vincent Vincent?” *Pho?*

“Zero. Protect. Master.”

Plow wagged her tails. “Plow likes Zero Zero.” *Pho*

Vincent kept moving forward without stopping. Everyone started to wonder what he intended to do as in front of him was a tall wall made of hardened earth and nothing else.

Vincent wasn’t in his Overheat form. As such, the Dullahans didn’t expect Vincent to have the power to destroy a wide pillar of the wall.

*Tap* Vincent touched the wall and began to focus. His intention became clear to them. Vincent was about to open a path to escape from.

The more Vincent focused, the more he could detect the entirety of the spike with his intent.

Vincent started to process of storing the large earth spike. The earth spike began turning green and dematerializing. This sudden change sent a signal of warning to the undead bear.

*Rumble* The ground lightly shook. Instead of an earth spike rising from the ground, a small one extended from the nearby earth spike.

“Argh!” Vincent grunted in pain. He got stabbed on this side. Fortunately, he hastily moved backward before a vital organ was stabbed.

[Vincent!] “Vincent!” “Clan leader!”

They all exclaimed, but it was all for naught. Vincent fell on his back. The injury he received was life-threatening, as the bleeding didn’t stop.

Awa was the first to arrive, Plow second, and Zero third. The three of them worriedly looked at the injured Vincent.

His body was being illuminated by the earth spike dematerializing and entering his body. They could clearly see the severity of the wound and how it was Vincent’s turn to be at death’s door.

Awa recalled the blood-stopping balm Vincent had given her. She quickly took it out and started applying the balm on his wound. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

[Vincent... this is bad...]

Kazumi looked behind them. She saw the undead bear moving and tearing the tendries. Large spikes of hardened earth poked from its body. The tendrils were being severed, and movement was going to be possible soon. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢

One thought passed into Kazumi’s mind. The moment Vincent tried to store the spiked earth, the undead bear resumed moving as if it reacted to Vincent’s action.

[The bear is about to free itself soon. We need to hurry, but your injury is worrying.]

Vincent raised his trembling arm. “Escape.” He said while pointing at the exit.

Awa frowned. She heard Vincent trying to help the trapped Dullahans escape, even if he was lying on the ground and bleeding to death.

“Please. Save your energy as much as you can. I will do my best to save your life.” Awa said in a wavering voice. She tried her best to hold her tears. But the moment she saw Vincent smile warmly at her as if it was all going to be fine, her tears could not hold back.

*Rumble* The ground shook, and an earth spike emerged in front of Vincent. The exit Vincent made for the Dullahans at the cost of a grievous injury was all for naught.

Awa felt the ground shake again. Her face contorted in anger. She hastily stood up and jumped back.

Night ran into Awa, and a cloud of smoke appeared the moment both collided with one another. The smoke not even the torches could illuminate shrank in size, and the smaller it became, the more condensed the darkness became.

A dark knight wearing dark armor bolted from the darkness. The smoke followed while forming a cape.

Awa rushed over to a lot of Dullahans and shouted, “Quake!” before swiftly slamming her foot to the ground with massive force.

The ground shook and cracked. Nothing else happened. Awa had interrupted an earth spike from forming and harming her people.

The Dullahans became amazed at the appearance of her imposing and majestic dark armor with a shadow cape swaying from the gentile breeze. Awa had become the Dullahan of legends.

“I will open a passage. ” Awa said before jumping and disappearing from everyone’s view.

*Boom* An earth spike was destroyed a moment later.

*Swoosh* The cloud of dust dissipated with a single kick. Awa raised her hand and signaled her people to escape. “Escape. Now.”

Awa felt the ground tremble. She jumped and disappeared once again before appearing between two injured Dullahans.

“Hold tight.” She said before leaping forward, and an earth spike emerged.

Awa felt the ground tremble once more. She moved her gaze and flinched at the view of a Dullahan getting impaled by an earth spike rising from the escape route she opened. Everyone was trapped inside once again.

Awa felt immense anger. She glanced at the injured Vincent and shed a tear. “I will distract that monster and find a way to get you out.”

Awa turned around and jumped without uttering a single word to Vincent, her parents, or her people. She disappeared from their view.

One of the tactics she learned was that a distracted enemy would not be able to attack allies. Thus, Awa hoped her people and Vincent would not be the target of more earth spikes.

“Vincent Vincent, please be ok. Plow is very very sad.” *Pho...*

“Zero. Failed. Master. Zero. Feels. Regret.”

[Vincent. Stay with me. Do not fall unconscious. Your eyes might not open again if you do.]

*Cough, cough* “Help. Me... Stand.” Requested Vincent while breathing heavily and tolerating the pain.

.....

Amie and Lamin approched Vincent.

“Do not try to get up. It will worsen your condition.” Amie told Vincent. She didn’t want the person her daughter showed so much trust in to die so soon.

Lamin wanted to speak, but he felt so weak that his mouth didn’t move to utter a word. He gazed upon Vincent with respect and sadness.

Dullahan after the other, approached Vincent as he was being helped by Zero to stand. They became inspired by his determination. A few went to help him stand on his feet.

“Help me walk to the wall... and be prepared to... leave.”

“It is too dangerous to try it again!” The Dullahan, helping Vincent stand on his feet, said.

Vincent moved his gaze toward the direction of the undead bear. He could see a dark figure constantly jumping and landing on the undead bear.
