Atoning For One’s Sin

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

A crimson branch of a tree suddenly appeared and move in extreme speed, it headed for the wounded jwhbsrinvfriygrf and wrapped around his body dragging him away from the attack of the enemy.

"You've done your best, let me atone for my sins" A calm voice sounded as jwhbsrinvfriygrf is taken out of harm's way.

A kid with a red spiky hair appeared In the battle field, on his back are four moving crimson branches moving freely in the air.

Two of them seems to be wrapped around something while the third one is wrapped around jwhbsrinvfriygrf.

The new appearance is none other little red that the heavenly blood tree restrict earlier with its unusual activities.

"How long before the reinforcements arrived?" The leader suddenly asked no one in particular.

A man appeared out of nowhere m, the man is skinny and it seems that he's been here all along.

"You foreigner have loss quite a portion of soldiers we have given you but as a beginner, you are quite ruthless and I like that" The skinny man said as his gaze landed on Little red.

"This is your last chance to surrender" The man suddenly said to Little Red.

"After all you have did to my friends, you expect an easy way out?" Little Red is quite angry right now.

"Hahahaha" The man laugh for a bit before continuing, "Childe, don't misunderstood my kind intention for weakness, I am not asking for an easy way out but I am giving you one"

As he is speaking, suddenly a pendant in his pocket shone and he remove it and received a message.

"Turns our I am needed elsewhere, foreigner the reinforcements are almost here. Hold on and make sure to defeat this young one, for that you shall receive your rewards and merits" The man said as he crush a talisman with his hand which resulted in him disappearing.

"You... You harmed them don't you?" Little Red asked as a slight crimson glow appeared on the branches.

"Are you dumb or naive? Isn't it obvious" The man replied.

"And its all my fault" Little Red look at the ground for a while as he thought about that accursed tree in his body.

The next time he raised his head, it is like an enrage demon waking up from its slumber, it's time he stopped been dormant.

Swoosh!

"Dash!" The man shouted as he saw the terrifying branch heading towards.

His speed increased as he disappeared to his left, Little Red didn't stop after that attack, he retracted the branch and shot it out once again.

The man quickly pick up jwhbsrinvfriygrf's sword and block the attack with the flat side.

The attack still pushed him back but he managed to successfully block it, just when he's about to heave a sigh of relieve when the branch retracted.

But what he saw made him wish that it was the branch instead, the spiky haired kid is coming after him with a blood spear from above!

Swish!

He quickly raised his sword to block the attack coming from above him!

Bam!

The weight of the attack came crashing down on him, "Argh!!" He shouted in pain, he felt as if his hands are about to have in from the weight.

Little red falls to the ground and swings his spear, the man might have jumped in reflex but the spear edge still managed to graze his cheek.

Bam!

Little Red delivered a roundhouse kick towards the man's rib which send him flying.

"You only use numbers to bully your opponents but now where are the helpers that you so heavily depended on?" Little Red said with the branches holding three other things, the fourth one is free tho.

"Stealth..." The man muttered as his steps become untraceable.

"Invisibility" He muttered once again and his body slowly blended with the surroundings as he disappears completely.

"Tch... Coward" Little Red clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Swish!

Little red caught the sound as he quickly brought down the last branch to block.

Clank!

The man momentarily appeared as sparks flew when the swords clashed.

He quickly disappeared the next moment which frustrated little red.

"Little Red, let me out" He heard jwhbsrinvfriygrf's voice.

"No!" Little Red firmly rejected.

The next moment many same things kept on happening and some wounds have appeared on little red.

"Long name friend, how is he able to keep disappearing?" He asked jwhbsrinvfriygrf.

"He's not only using skill but also consuming invisibility portions" jwhbsrinvfriygrf explained.

"Since he thought it's cool doing this... Then I shall forcefully make him appeared, you won't appear right? I shall make you appear" Little Red has a grin on his face as if he get an interesting idea.

It's time to catch the rat hiding.
