Chapter 121 Hero?
Chapter 121 Hero?
"What the hell? Why did he save him?" he clearly couldn't understand, but he soon understood. 'A mistake... Klaus made such a bad mistake?' He even smiled a little.
He hadn't expected someone as good as Klaus to make that mistake.
But seeing this made his spirits rise, so he quickly ran to help him.
Even so, he suddenly saw Klaus being surrounded while he was in the air.
"KLAUS!" he shouted.
Klaus had continued his onslaught against the beast he had just hit, taking the opportunity to hurt it enough while waiting for the other beast to get up.
Still, he soon felt the wind hit his body and realized that the beast was running toward him. 'That was fast.' He thought.
Just then, he also heard Carion's scream, so he quickly took a strong swing at the guy in front of him and pulled out his knife to throw a backward blow.
Still, the beast was closer to him than he expected.
'Shit...' He groaned internally as he saw a huge fist heading at him from above. Even though he felt his knife had hit somewhere, that blow couldn't be avoided.
He had miscalculated.
But, then Carion jumped up high.
"Wind Chains!" He shouted.
Immediately, the beast that was going to hit Klaus felt stuck in the same spot. Its legs would not move, and its belly, which had a knife stuck in it, could not move any further.
Despite that, Carion missed the moving arm by a few scant inches, so even though it prevented Klaus from being rammed with the whole huge body of that thing, it couldn't avoid the blow, which hit Klaus squarely and pushed him to the ground ferociously.
"KYAAAAAA!" What seemed to have been a good thing for the beast ended up turning into a huge gash in its belly, as it had had the knife stuck in it all this time, so the scream was not long in coming.
Carion also screamed and rushed forward to try to help Klaus, but what he saw was something shoot out of the ground and reach the height of the two beasts' heads.
Klaus smiled; he had blood in his mouth and on other parts of his body.
"Shit, that hit hurt." He even spat blood, but being so close to these guys' heads and noticing that the sorcerers were coming, he decided to put an end to it.
'Although it looks like I had to get some help, at least let me kill them both and keep my word.' He smiled and swung his knife hard, cutting off the head of one of them, and then, in mid-air, he released the knife and shot toward the other's head, plunging it into him in an instant.
His eyes were glowing with a bluish hue, so this was a direct attack on their weakest points, so death was instantaneous, especially for the last one, which was already bleeding out from the huge belly wound.
Even so, while he was in the air, Klaus was shaken to see that the huge body of one of the beasts was going to fall on a young woman hiding behind one of the mall walls where they were. Due to the moment, she could not run away.
But, contrary to what he expected in her, he did not see fear. On the contrary, he saw a lot of curiosity. She even seemed to want to stand up to the beast when she knew she didn't have a shred of power.
'Is she crazy?' he thought. She didn't even try to run away, but it wasn't because she was stunned, just...
She was curious, perhaps.
She was a young girl, barely 13 or 15, civilian. Well-dressed and elegant, she looked like a young lady of a rich family, somewhat grumpy. She was very pretty.
But none of that caught Klaus' attention. It was that strange curiosity she had that made him try to use his new way of using his main skill.
'She looks just like me. It would be a shame to let her die.'
This all happened while he was in the air. He wasn't flying, naturally. He was simply in the air because of the momentum he gained from throwing his knife.
But, while hovering, he could move faster if he used that part of his ability.

'I wonder if in the daytime it's possible.' He thought and focused once more on feeling the cursed energy.
There was very little of it today, but he could feel it better today than last night. He seemed to have become more versatile in sensing it, and although he couldn't use his cursed energy at the moment, the little surrounding cursed energy, which was becoming more and more important, served as a boost for him.
He immediately shot out of the place where he was, like a bullet, in the direction of where that lady was. It was a matter of seconds from when he saw her and jumped towards her.
'Did I get there?' Klaus frowned, but he was so focused on the young girl's body, trying to save her, that he ignored the surrounding beast. The next thing he felt was a loud thump, and he started rolling on the ground with the girl in his arms just before the beast fell to the ground with a loud crash.
They both rolled on the ground until Klaus managed to stop.
He sighed and looked at the girl to see if she was okay.
She was looking at him curiously. "Are you a hero? My god, father told me that sorcerers heroes are always beautiful, but you look more beautiful than he told me." She said suddenly and stood up quickly, bearing the pain in her bones.
"Hey, how does it feel to kill a cursed beast? How's the cursed beast's meat? Will it taste good?" She asked suddenly.
Her continued questions left Klaus in shock.
'How much energy she has...' He thought but smiled.
"No, cursed beast meat tastes horrible. Don't try it, you'll have a very bad time. And I'm not a hero; I'm just passing through." He replied calmly, getting back to his feet.
He was wounded in several places and bleeding, but he didn't care about that.
She looked him over from head to toe.
"Don't you feel any pain? I saw you were beaten terribly earlier. Didn't you feel your bones crushed? They looked so big, those beasts." Her tender curiosity made Klaus smile.
"Hahaha, we sorcerers don't feel pain, missy."
"What? Really?" She looked astonished, which made Klaus suddenly start laughing and open his wounds more.
Just at that moment, Carion came to them. He seemed to have come flying, but he was actually using the wind to propel himself—a trick that couldn't do much.
"Klaus, are you all right?" He asked.
Klaus smiled at him. "Naturally. The little girl is, too."
This little girl walked up to Carion in shock and looked him over from head to toe. "You fly; how do you do it? Is it possible that you are a more powerful sorcerer than the Beautiful Purple Hero?"
Carion looked at her, confused. "Who is the Purple Hero?"
She turned as if it was nothing and pointed at Klaus, specifically at his eyes. "Him."
Carion felt foolish for asking. He initially thought it was some kind of hero from a children's cartoon, and since he saw there was a girl present, he didn't want to talk about anything profound, so he wanted to ask. He didn't expect to get that answer.
So he smiled and was about to speak to her but suddenly frowned at the sight of her.
"You are..."
