Overtake The Astral: Searching for Good Life in Another World

Chapter 17: "I really hate them"

After the shockwaves died down, I regained my senses.

"...!"

I still sense a strong Astral Body.

"... no way..."

Cold sweat runs down my right cheek.

As the smoke disperses, I can see Panthos still standing after taking that attack.

His upper armor got destroyed but there is no a single scratch on his body.

Dark elf and elf should have a weaker physical trait compared to other races. Even though they can train their body, this level of strength is just absurd...!

"Grr..."

After growling like a monster, he raises his spear and rushes towards me.

"!?"

*swish!*

I manage to dash to my right side to avoid my body getting pierced by his spear.

However, I can see Panthos' right leg swinged towards me in that instant.

*wham! Smack!*

"Aa..!?"

My body got hit by his roundhouse kick and got thrown away until my back hit the tree behind me.

*thud!*

My body falls to the ground. The breastplate protected my chest but it still hurts so much that I have trouble breathing.

"Gaa...!"

I am lying on the ground and can't even move a limb. I can tell that my face now is distorted out of pain.

Panthos is looking at me with a disgusting grin. I know that I need to get up now but I simply can't due to the pain.

*thump! Thump! Thump!*

I can feel my heart pulses rate rising out of fear.

*pant! pant!*

The pain is preventing from being able to concentrate on making new plans to survive. If he attacks me now, I'm done for.

*tap*

Right after I thought that, I see a person steps up in front of me. It's that slave boy.

"Master! Please stop it!"

You idiot! Get out of here!

I wanted to shout that but the pain also prevents me from talking.

"..."

Panthos looks silently at the slave boy for a few seconds and then points his spear at the slave boy. Then the green blade of that spear glows.

Magic!? Wait, I still can't...!

*Shluk! Chut!*

It was over in an instant.

The green blade of his spear was launched revealing itself as a blade with small hilt coming out from the spear's body.

It pierced the boy's chest and got stuck by the tree behind me.

*thud!*

The boy falls down with his back facing the ground. His body falls near to where I'm lying down.

"Heh... hehe.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Panthos starts laughing after he saw the slave boy lying motionlessly on ground.

At the same time, I finally can move my body and withstand the pain.

I approach the boy and see the blood coming out of his chest.
