Chapter 41: Thirty-five, you damn bug!
“Isn’t it just a bug?” Kelsay touched his stubble-covered chin, smiled, and said, “Honestly, this statement is quite interesting. Do you know what’s interesting about it?”
Ulu stared intensely at Kelsay and did not respond.
“What’s interesting,” Kelsay continued, “is that this metaphor is very vivid, extremely vivid indeed. No metaphor could be more fitting.” Kelsay said, “But to say that you are not a bug, now that’s a bit... not very objective.”
As he spoke, Kelsay slowly drew out the Holy Sword, one side reflecting anger, the other side reflecting mockery.
“I’m curious, what gave you the illusion and courage that you are not a bug? Could it be...” Kelsay’s gaze slowly moved down, wandering between Ulu’s left and right hand, “Is it that forbidden finger not belonging to you? Do you feel that by acquiring that forbidden finger, you have become the forbidden existence?”
Kelsay did not give Ulu a chance to respond before he spoke again.
...
“If that’s the case, then it falls upon me to wake you up.” Kelsay raised the sword towards Ulu’s nose and smiled, “But you know, I am a Knight and unfamiliar with gentler methods, so I must be a bit cruel. For instance, first chopping off that finger that doesn’t belong to you, and then...”@@@@
Kelsay had not finished speaking when suddenly the sound of something tearing through the air came from behind him. He clicked his tongue lightly, then immediately turned around to see three Magic Chains attacking him.
“Can’t you wait for me to finish speaking?” Facing the sneak attack, Kelsay calmly swung his sword. The Magic Chains, composed of Magic Power, were instantly cut down by the Holy Sword, which was imbued with a stronger Magic Power, “But I’m quite surprised that you wouldn’t... hmm?”
Mid-sentence, Kelsay immediately turned around again just in time to see Ulu holding a shovel with one hand, swinging it directly at his neck, evidently intending to kill Kelsay in the same manner as he had the servant.
However, Kelsay, being the Knight Master, was clearly not as defenseless as the servant; he calmly swung his sword.
There was a crisp sound.
The rusty shovel, like the Magic Chains, was arbitrarily cut down by the Holy Sword, indicating Ulu’s sneak attack had failed.
But Kelsay raised his eyebrows, “You, you actually could...”
Before he could finish, Kelsay noticed a white mist suddenly enveloped his feet. He suddenly realized something and immediately looked up to find Ulu’s other hand performing a Magic Seal, muttering incantations.
Had those previous two attacks been a cover for this Magic Seal?
Realizing this, Kelsay hastily retreated but was a fraction too late. As Ulu completed the final seal and the last syllable of the incantation, a red flame burst forth from the white mist.
“Boom!”
“If you really thought that, then you certainly misunderstand me. I am absolutely not that narrow-minded, unable to see others perform well. On the contrary, if you really had high talent, I’d be happy to see you ascend to the Great Cathedral, but...”
He paused and then his smile gradually turned mocking.
“You are just too weak, you know? You have no talent at all, taking forever to chant a spell, a year to complete a seal. I’ve taught you for so long, and you’ve learned so little, really the least talented person I’ve met. But then again, you’re so persistent, spending far more time on this than most people, which is really...”
Kelsay’s gaze suddenly turned cold, “Disgusting. You’re like a maggot in a dung pit, desperately trying to climb out. Just seeing this effort from a maggot is enough to make people nauseated, you know?”
“So I crippled you.”
“I think your previous analogy was quite apt; you’re just a worm.” Kelsay raised his sword, pointing it through the lingering dust at Ulu’s nose tip, “Worms should just stay underground, not try to climb up, you understand?”
He had thought that Ulu would become even angrier upon hearing the truth.
But unexpectedly, Ulu broke into a smile at that moment.
A mad laugh.
Kelsay’s brow furrowed slightly.
Suddenly, he felt something was off.
This dust, why hadn’t it settled yet?
Instead, it was getting more...
Wait!
He suddenly realized something and instinctively tried to activate a shield, but it was too late.
A greater explosion ignited the smoke, instantly collapsing the rest of the house.
When Kelsay emerged from the smoke, half of his armor had been blasted open, his exposed body bloody and mangled.
And in his eyes, gone was the earlier indifference and disdainful mockery. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with... rage.
He, had been wounded by a worm.
“You...,” his teeth almost shattered as he roared, his anger clearly heard throughout the village, “damned worm!!!!”
