My Own Path: The Red Phoenix

Ch 40 – Goodbye World

Belo who heard Audrey's whisper could only gawk, Belo could not believe his young lady had this kind of nature.

“Quick uncle” Audrey patted – pat Belo's shoulder.

“Ah yes” Belo realized, “Young people for me the safety of young miss is the number one priority, so with a heavy heart I have to leave you here, thank you for helping us.”

“Ya same – same lord” heard Claude's reply, Belo immediately turned around and then started running back.

“Wahhh ... Flame Princess is indeed true to her name, she is not only beautiful, but the warmth of her heart can I feel” Claude is still drowned with the charm of Audrey.

‘Oh no I have to refocus’ Claude started to walk back following in Belo's footsteps, the difference is now Claude is not in a hurry – with the intention of blurring, Claude just wants to give distance to Mr. Coda.

In Claude's mind, at least one person would catch up with him, and of course Claude would try his hardest, as much as possible to block him, ‘This is all for you Miss Flame Princess’.

As Belo and Claude ran, the stopped Coda immediately prepared with all his possibilities, with the sword neatly sheathed ready whenever Coda pulled, Coda maintained his position.

Not long after that appeared two people who had been able to surround him.

“I won't let you pass me!!” Said Coda firmly.

“You overestimate yourself, are you the only small-town army chief thinking able to hold us back, just at the expense of your life.” Tan Qiang sneered.

“Yes, I am indeed too highly rated” Coda admits “But if I run away from this fight, I cannot call myself a squad head” Coda pull out the sword then finish it forward.

“Huh, mentally naive a soldier” turn Wen Qi who spoke “You face him, I will chase the others, remember we are in the middle of – is doing a mission, and, you do not play – play quickly kill him and immediately follow me” Wen Qi then immediately move.

“I said no one can pass me!!” Coda tried to attack Wen Qi, but his attack was already being held back by a stick that appeared from the side.

“Hoho quiet brother, who so your opponent is me, do not you feel yourself a little greedy by targeting us both”

Coda could not prevent Wen Qi's swift departure once the gap in Coda's defense opened.

‘Young lady, Belo I hope you guys survived’ Coda closed your eyes for a moment before reopening it, now looks a strong glint of determination emanated from the look of his eyes.

“Dwelling before death, a good idea hahah” Tan Qiang keeps a stick behind the neck with both hands holding the stick on each side. (think Sun Wukong style)

“Let's start, Lightning Sabre” Coda instantly moved with his fastest movement and skill, intending to give a surprise attack but Tan Qiang had already anticipated it.

With the Cane in hand, Tan Qiang directly hit the direction of Coda's attack, of course with a longer range of sticks than the sword, making it easier for Tan Qiang to defend and avoid Coda's attack.

Coda acted heart – heart, he did not really - really attack and more retreated when Tan Qiang's wand came, meanwhile Tan Qiang acted, like Coda was already in his grasp, for Tan Qiang it was only a matter of time that Coda would be killed, therefore Tan Qiang did not mean – really faced Coda.

‘No matter what, I should be able to place my attack on him, even though it was only a scrap of wound, furthermore the poison of the paralyzer will help me’ after exchanging attacks many – times, Coda realized that if he was not determined he would not be able to touch his opponent's body.

“Knight Will” Coda yells release restrictions on her body.

Knight Will is a berserk skill that every soldier has, the effect of being able to forcibly increase the ability of its user, but having a time limit that depends on the durability of its own user.

Once the time limit is up, the user will feel the back-effects of his own abilities, which turn him no more like an undead, in short this ability is there for those who are ready to die.

“You must be kidding” Tan Qiang was surprised to see Coda activating Knight Will.

As expected, Coda immediately charged towards Tan Qiang, Tan Qiang could not relax anymore, Tan Qiang started to retaliate against Coda's attack, but beyond his expectations Coda did not intend to retreat, Coda continued to advance even though Tan Qiang had clearly hit him.

Coda continued to release slash after slash, until there were several Coda attacks that entered and injured his body, of course with Coda's attack, with Coda's attack, Tan Qiang began to feel that his body had become slightly stiff and heavy when moved.

Tan Qiang immediately found out something was wrong with his body, so he immediately took Monkey Peach from his Storage Ring, “You forced me” Tan Qiang exclaimed and drank Monkey Peach in his hand.

Immediately a tinge of immense strength shot out from his body, Tan Qiang instantly leaped up the tree away from Coda.

“Let's start Second Round” with Monkey Rage mode, Tan Qiang grinned.

On the other side, Claude felt someone coming from behind, and Claude thought he must be one of the two remaining enemies, so Claude began to play.

With the timing of the timing right, Claude said along with the appearance of Wen Qi.

Wen Qi who heard all of Claude's words smiled wryly in her mind ‘Little children are still children, they are still too naive’ yet Wen Qi's smile only lasted for a short while.

‘Eh why I did not feel the aura from the path he was pointing at, Magic Detection’ Wen Qi directly scanned the entire area and found traces of an aura pointing in the opposite direction from the one the child was pointing at.

“It's good that your cipher is a child, you can almost fool me” Wen Qi would not want to praise the cleverness of a child in front of him.

“Cih, it is not easy to deceive parents, Hmm it turns out your voice is very sweet, but why do you cover your face with that mask, Hmm, are you afraid I can see the ugly face behind it” Claude started his barrage of bullshit.

“Hey snot boy, I'm no longer a child that you can provoke as easily as” Wen Qi ignored Claude's remarks and started walking towards the trail Belo ran.

“Well good if you are not provoked, then I am increasingly convinced that you are a grandmother – grandmother who rejects old, just look at the unnatural white skin, I am sure ..”

“Stop your nonsense!!” Wen Qi turned around with a wrathful face and instantly took out a Magic Shockwave leading straight to Claude's body.

Wen Qi is not easily provoked, even in his daily life he is more often provoking others, but when a woman is called old, yes every woman will be angry to hear it.

But the trace of wrath instantly turned to surprise when he saw an arrow shot right into the face of Wen Qi.

- Prick

-Arghhhh

Wen Qi and Claude are the same – hit by each – attack, the difference is Claude was thrown several meters and hit a tree while Wen Qi did not get any injuries other than his broken mask then fell.

“Binggo” said shrewdly Claude, when he saw the mask belonging to Wen Qi broke, leaving Wen Qi's hand still blocking his face.

‘Isn't the child an Assassin, why he wore a bow’ before Wen Qi had noticed the little boy he had assumed was an Assassin, his conjecture reinforced with a Dagger neatly sheathed on Claude's waist, the child he had assumed to be an Assassin, the assumption was reinforced with a Dagger neatly sheathed in Claude's waist, but it turns out the assumption was wrong.

“Hey little boy, who exactly are you? There are too many gimmicks around you, where are you from?” Wen Qi then showed her face.

“Hah you miss Wen,” now it is Claude's turn to be surprised to see the appearance of the woman behind the mask “what is the mistress of a baron in a place like this?”

‘Sial, it turns out that the boy knows my identity’ Wen Qi cursed “Little boy earlier I had no interest in you and would ignore you, but after what you did and what you know I can't let you live” Wen Qi's facial expression gets creepier.

“What do I know, wait .. wait don't tell me you and Baro..” Claude's words were stopped by an energy covering his mouth and clutching his neck.

“Did anyone ever say, that your mouth was so annoying” Wen Qi raised his hand, he had already taken out one of the skills he had that was Soul Grasp.

Soul Grasp was a long-range magic-type skill whose attack path could not be seen and could only be felt.

As Claude now felt, Claude felt like there was an invisible big hand smothering his mouth and strangling his neck, whereas Wen Qi was quite far away from his place.

“Blame yourself, for your own misfortune” Wen Qi started clutching his fist.

“Mmm mmm” Claude twitched feeling his neck getting suffocated, his body started to limp, and Claude's consciousness started to disappear.

‘Am I going to end up like this?’ a question arose in Claude's mind ‘Well a boon I could have lived to this day, if not for Tanhill's uncle who picked up and cared for me, maybe I'd have been dead from the past’

Claude already knew about his past, the beginning of the encounter between the two of them and about his parents who did not exist even Tanhill did not know, Tanhill told him that Claude did not have blood relations with Tanhill.

‘Only one I regret’ Claude felt his world start to whiten.

‘Uncle forgive me, have not been able to repay your kindness’ Claude shed tears, “Goodbye World”
