This life, by myself

Chapter 14

Cale jumped from the building and bolted to where he estimated the suicide bombers would go.

His mind raced as he thought of what to do. Killing them wont stop the explosion. Can't destroy the bombs either, they will blow up. Could I stop it with my shield? It might not be strong enough.

-Human! Do we stay here?

Oh, right. I have a dragon. But even if he is a dragon, it has only been a few days since he could use mana. Besides, I don't want people to know there is a dragon. Average mages might not notice but these are mages protecting the royal family so they can't be weak. And Rosalyn should be here too!

-Human?

"On and Hong will wait, you follow me. Could you please prepare a shield around those four people in black and inside my shield." They shouldn't notice it if it will be blocked by mine. "But if it gets too difficult, don't keep going"

-Okay

Cale sped between people in a black blur and arrived in front of the bombers.

'Can you do it?' He asked the glutton.

[Of course I can]

Cale didn't need to explain what he wanted to do since they were connected by soul.

Redika pointed at the people and four red lights shot from his hand towards the backpacks.

People screamed and scrambled over the top of each other to run away.

Cale outstretched his hand and felt his heart beating faster.

As the red mana hit their targets, a silver light shone brightly.

"What?" A voice croaked as he witnessed the holy view in front of him.

A large silver shield with white wings wrapped around the people in black, protecting the royals, nobles and civilians. Attached to the shield was a silver line connecting to a different person in black. What they didn't see was the faint black veil that was surrounded by the holy shield.

The people contained within the shield exploded and a deafening boom rang across the plaza. A wave of strong wind blew out, throwing dust up in the air.

The people at the centre of the plaza covered their heads as a layer of dust covered them.

-Human. I'm not great and mighty. I'm weak. My shield broke.

Eventually when the loud rumbling sound stopped, the silver shield cracked like glass and shattered.

Four charred lumps fell to the ground, covered in flames and smoke.

The plaza fell silent as the people were processing what they just saw.

"Cough" everyone's attention was drawn to the individual who broke the silence.

"Cough, cough" the said person was the one who saved them. They knelt and coughed some more.

'Shit, why won't the blood stop'

[Sob, your plate is weak and you have many ancient powers so it's no surprise you, hic, you would end up like this]

'What the heck, isn't that something you should say beforehand?'

[...]

Cale tried to sigh but more blood came out of his mouth instead.

Well, at least there isn't any pain I just. It's just annoying and messy.

-H-human! I'm sorry! Hic, I should've put multiple shields. There, there is so much blood. What do I do?! You can't die! If you die I will kill everyone and destroy everything!
