St Chaos Healer

Ch 34 - The Disciplinary Guy

We are currently in a sticky situation.

It's not even been a couple of days since I was almost killed by the supervisor mage losing control. But this is clearly a different situation now. This rail guard had clearly made up his mind on killing us right here.

I heard the rail guards were a bunch of heartless bastards but seeing how he just cut off Jame's arms like as if cutting weeds, tells us how evil these guys are.

He tried to act familiar with James and I even believed that he was friendly and had ties with the Malice family. This just shows he never intends to side with any of the folks here.

Coming to this isolated floor was a mistake.

I glanced at James whose body was motionless as he lay in the puddle of his own blood. I can't tell if he is even alive.

The ruthless rail guard glanced at his hand,

"Darn it, his blood managed to stain my hand."

He then proceeds to wipe his hand with a handkerchief and then throws it aside.

I looked around to see any ways to escape but there were hardly any routes.

The elevator and the stairs that lead downstairs were the places where the ruthless rail guard was standing. So I am pretty sure he won't just move aside and let me walk away.

It was certain that the candidates were quite important for the ceremony organizers and the kingdom to recruit more mages to their military might. So just killing us all would surely be punishable in some way or another. Hence why the other rail guards were tolerant enough to not harm us. So any sane mind person would not risk getting chewed by the organizers.

I just hope that this guy saying about killing all the witnesses here was just a mere joke.

The rail guard suddenly let out a sigh,

"Alright, I hope you guys don't struggle much so that I can keep the hallway intact. I shall give you an easy death, just take it easy."

Saying so he stretched his arm aiming towards us.

Fuck! This guy is totally nuts and just a sadist killer.

Totally insane.

Why the heck are all the mage associations recruiting a bunch of weirdos.

I have to quickly get out of this turmoil somehow.

The maniac rail guard mana started converging in the palm of his hands.

Yellow lightning started forming around his arm and gathering in his palm.

The crackling of lightning echoed throughout the room sounding like the echoes of death.

He was a mage that can manipulate lightning attributes. That is one of the rarest and deadliest elements even among the mages. If his spell hits us, not even my bones will be left.

The way he's gathering the energy in the palm, he intends to kill us all with one swift attack.

I quickly looked around.

The other brats were sitting on their arse like rocks in their piss. They had long given up resisting. Moses was among one of them.

Using these brats as a meat shield would be an option.

Although seeing the overwhelming gathering of the mana used by the spell, I don't think a couple of meat bags would be able to withstand its power.

I can't just run to the opposite side, there is just a straight hallway behind me, and I can't possibly outrun his attack spell. Lightning attacks are one of the fastest traveling spells so even that was pointless.
