The Tale of Two worlds : Realms Unveiled - Chapter :- 10
“Use your arms, girl. Not your skills. Magic is useless against them.” [Atul]
“Dodge the boulders instead of shielding yourself with arcane shield, it’s still too weak.” [Vayu]
“If you can dodge mine attack, you can dodge theirs too.” [Atul]
“Just go back to studies. You cannot even defeat some Sylvan Screamers.” [Vayu]
Instruction kept coming from the mouth of Atul and Vayu for Celia as she continued fighting against 4 Sylvan Screamers alone with only an armor to protect her from the heavy blows of these monsters.
Looking around, the dead bodies of more than 30 Sylvan Screamers were lying on the floor of the jungle, all killed in one attack without any blood coming out of their body.
“I know, I know. Just stop distracting me. I am already too scared.” [Celia]
Celia, getting annoyed at the encouragement, turned dissing, shouted at the two people behind her, who were sitting on the foldable chairs (they brought it with them) and were enjoying a meal while Celia continued her fight for life.
Noticing that Celia was distracted by his comrade, another Sylvan Screamer tried to grab her, but before its hand could have reached Celia, some vines had already wrapped themselves around the Sylvan’s foot.
Celia, taking the opportunity of this opening, jumped and reached the head of the Sylvan Screamers and then, making lightning in both of her hand, put her hand on Sylvan’s head, killing him instantly.
After killing the Sylvan, Celia dropped her guard but then with a scream all the other three Sylvan attacked Celia.
Noticing it’s too late to dodge their attack, Celia hurriedly made an arcane shield using her Arcane prowess skill, closed her eyes and waited for the impact.
5 seconds went by, 10 seconds went by and then even 30 seconds went by, but the impact never came. Sensing this, Celia slowly opened her eyes and her shield disappeared.
Seeing in front, the three Sylvan Screamers were lying dead with Atul looking at her with a look like he says, see I told you so!
Getting that look, Celia got a little embarrassed and smirked a little, only for Atul to pat her head and congratulate her.
“Well, you managed to stay alive against 4 Sylvan Screamers and even defeated one of them. Good work.” [Atul]
“So does that mean I am ready to go to the town? You said I could if I can defeat even one Screamer on my own.” [Celia]
Hearing Atul’s praise, a shimmer of hope appeared in Celia’s eyes and excitedly she asked Atul about his confirmation of Celia going to the city.
“Well, a promise is a promise. Pack your bags today, tomorrow we will be going to the town.” [Atul]
Hearing this, Vayu gives a wing up to Celia as he spoke to her.
“Now get up. We still have to go back to home today.” [Vayu]
Saying so, Atul and Vayu turned back, with Celia following behind them to the house.
Celia’s POV
“You sure? I can take this all Sensie” [Celia]
I asked in a worried tone to Vayu sensei as the Old man started taking out very valuable things one after another and piled them in front of me.
“No, if you are found out with even one of these things. People will ask you many questions, which would be problematic for both you and us.” [Vayu]
Vayu-sensei replied to me in a disappointed voice. Seeing the old-man still not stopping, Vayu sensei lied to his side and bite his ears with his beak.
Feeling pain in his ear, the old-man started fighting against Vayu-sensei. After 15 minutes of them fighting continuously, they finally stopped after remembering my presence and made a sorry expression.
“Well, that’s true, it’s too risky for you to be seen with these equipments considering your fighting powers. No will believe that you actually got them yourself and telling them you got it for me just makes the situation worse.” [Atul]
“But I at least want you to stay safe in the outer world, and these equipments would have really helped you.” [Atul]
The old man spoke in a serious tone, while thinking about something, but then he nodded his head and looked at Vayu and again nodded.
“Well, that’s it, Vayu will go with you.” [Atul]
“What” x 2 [Vayu and Celia]
Vayu-sensei and I both spoke at the same time in question marks quite clearly on our faces.
Seeing Vayu-sensei getting angry at him, Old-man hurriedly tried to give a reason for his idea.
“I don’t mean for forever, just for till the girl settled down for good. After that you will come back, plus you can always come back here whenever you want to meet me.”[Atul]
Hearing Old-man’s convincing reason, Vayu-sensei also nodded in agreement and approved the plan of him coming with me to the town till I completely settled down.
Saying this, we continued preparing for my departure. After the preparation was done, Vayu-sensei and the old-man left the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
Do I really have to go? Such questions echoed in my head, thinking about my departure from this home tomorrow.
I still remembered that day clearly when the old man rescued me.
All those embarrassing moments after that. Thay day when I took Vayu-sensei’s class for the first time or that day when Old-man took me out to the jungle for the first time.
All those mock battles and training with weapons and fighting against boblin and dorc.
Hmm, a lot of things happened in these previous 12 months and finally tomorrow I will leave for the town.
With these thoughts in my mind, I fell asleep in the wait of the morning and the start of my new journey.
Atul’s POV (outside on the balcony)
“Sigh” [Atul]
“What’s the long sigh for?” [Vayu]
Vayu asked me as I took a heavy sigh, remembering my last one year with the girl, Celia.
Because of my past, I lived alone in this jungle with Vayu, away from the people for years, until Vayu told me about a girl being chased by Sylvan.
At first I was quite neutral and even a little annoyed but after knowing about her being the chosen one, I took pity on her, a mistake I know I will regret later but I just couldn’t leave her there to die.
After rescuing her, the plan was supposed to be escorting her to the nearest town after her recovering enough.
After that I would have my friend in the town help the girl settle in, or so I thought.
Before I knew, she was already being trained by Vayu and me.
Her stay of 3-4 weeks turns into 3 months and before we know a whole year passed months passed.
Well, from tomorrow everything will go back to normal, except Vayu’s presence and I am not saying that I am not sad about her going to the city, but I always knew that these days will come back.
“Take care of the girl and yourself.” [Atul]
“I will” [Vayu]
Vayu said to console me as he lied back on his bed, while I stayed on the couch, watching T.V. and time went by.
Before I knew it was already midnight, being too lazy to go back to the bed, I slept on the couch
