Insanity

Balthan :" Lily.....Discharge your fireball at them both "

.....

" What ? " (CHHAN)

Upon hearing their leader's words Richard almost dropped his sword as he asked

" What? What are you saying? (Screamed) ARE YOU CRAZY BALTHAN ?!! "

Lili also panicked as she asked

" I..i don't think that's— "

Shut up!! LILY!! (Glares at her and yelled) Do you want to go back to being a slumdog bitch with nothing but dirt for food ?"

" Aah "

She could reply as she shivered remembering the times of her childhood

{ No!! (Gritted her teeth and aimed her staff at Chhan and Snakeblade) I refuse to go back being a beggar !} Ggh! Just Die Both of you!! "

Richard :" Wait !! LILY!!! (JUMPED TOWARDS LILY) "

Lily : "(gathered a large and lethal amount of mana which was amplified by her staff ) ⟨HEATCANNON⟩!!!! "

BURRRR

A huge fireball the size of a truck fired off of her staff ,Richard was blown back from the shockwaves alone and Balthan looked at his childhood friend who he had just abandoned for the last time with a look of sadness and despair

Snakeblade infront of the fireball stood completely still , various thoughts went through her mind before fire ball reached her

{ Why? Was it because I also nagged them? was it because I failed to execute our plan?Balthan, why would say something like that? }(tears dropped from her scarlett red eyes on her face that was now completely devoid of life)

{ Wh— }

Tssh

" Huh? "

Infront of her Snakeblade saw the blade of the sword that was against her throat shine from the fireball's light on the hand of the young newbie swordsman who was using her life as a bargaining chip ,he was standing infront of the fireball like a deranged fool as he screamed —

CHHAN :(with his sword raised, LOST ALL REASON IN RAGE )" DESPICABLE SCŪMS!!!! "

— and met the ball of inferno head on with his bare blade

Ssssssh

For a moment the world went silent and then with bright flash

BOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!

***

{ Kill his own party member? }

This was nothing new to me, it often happens infact in many movies, and series even ,bad guys abandoning their comrades for their safety, nothing new, but seeing it in real life was nothing short of different, his expression that only contained madness when he made that decision,the feeling victim's trembling body as she despaired and the fact that another part of their party actually agrees with the guy who started it

All of it felt like shit, it made me feel sick to my stomach

{ TRASH }

BURRRR

The fire attack came forward infront of me I didn't think i can dodge it or survive it ,no I might be able to if I use this girl as a meat shield

Drip

{ She's...(felt Snakeblade's tears on his hand that grabbed her throat)... I'm definitely gonna regret this decision as some point but right now—

Tsssh

—Even the thieves from where I come from aren't as low as you!! You— }

I raised my sword with every fibre of strength in my body as i ran infront of the female assassin .

"— DESPICABLE SCŪM!!!! "

SLASH

I slashed downward at the incoming fireball the size of a truck and felt the heat burning me but i persisted, it was all or nothing at that point so i pushed ,and pushed and amthe blade as if responding to my strength splitted the fire spell

{ I did i— huh?}

BOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!!!

***

Cutting the spell apart ,the heat dispersed and letted out a powerful raw shockwaves strong enough to leave a large crater at the epicenter as it blew everything apart

Richard :" (shouted ) SNAKEBLAADE!!! "

Lily :" Geeh!!(gritted her teeth as she formed a barrier of mana to protect herself and her remaining party members)

Balthan on the other side gritted his teeth { Yes i shouldn't feel guilty about this! It's not my fault, it's her's for getting caught , and besides she also agreed with our plan , it's not my fault that she died on the wild, as an adventurer it's an occupational hazard } " Ahaha.hahha(went insane)"

Chhan was blown wayy back with Snakeblade behind him as they crash on the ground and rolled violently like ragdolls, however despite the rush he didn't let go of his sword and tried his damnedest to find a moment to stop himself when he got the chance and then

Stab!!

" Graaa!! Geuu!! ( spat out blood ) "

Finally getting the moment to stop himself by using his sword ,he stopped right on the edge of a cliff in the middle of the forest with the female assassin who clung on his leg to not fall off the cliff that was as tall as a damn skyscraper , it was so very tall and all that was visible at the bottom was a damn fog

" graargh!{ My leg!! } (sprained his leg) Y..you !! "

I looked at the female assassin with much hate

Crrk

" Huh?( Widened his eyes) shit !"

I then looked up and saw the place where I stabbed my sword in falling apart slowly,it seemed that the blade's sharpness was a great problem right now

Crrk!!

" Aaah! "

The female assassin yelped with her eyes that seemed to have regained her sense of reality ,she also seemed to have noticed that their doom was near

Chhan :" Fuck!! "

Snakeblade :" Hey! "

Chhan :"( I turned back down ) "

Snakeblade :" I'm sorry for trying to rob you ".

Chhan :" (furious, felt his right hand which he gripped on the sword weakening) WHAT? ARE YOU APOLOGIZING NOW THAT WE ARE ABOUT TO DIE BECAUSE OF YOU PEOPLE?!! "

I glared at her , blaming her for all of this ,and I had the goddamn right to blame her for all of this

Snakeblade seemed displeased by such words but she kept those aside as she had a question to ask before they died

" Why did you save me then? "

...

I simply stared at her

" Are you seriously asking me that in situation like this? "

Crrk

Chhan : " Shit! "

" (With a shivering voice and teary eyes) We're gonna die anyway so can't you atleast humor a heartbroken girl "(also went insane)

Chhan :"(dumbfounded , furious) Are you actually flirting with me right now woman?!! "

" (Insanity meter went up)Ggeh!! It's all because of You! Ugly bastaaard! Waaa!!(suddenly pulled on his leg) "

CRRRAK

And due to such sudden force the sword that was stabbed on the Cliffs wall came out and then they

Chhan :"( EMOTIONALLY DAMAGED)YOU BI- "

THEY FELL

DOWN THEIR DOOM
