THE BATTLE OF 1000 SPIRITS

CHAPTER 15: ESCAPE TO THE COUNT VAGHOL AREA

Marquis Bonjer and Holuka met each other in the forest with their troops, Holuka wiped off her sweat while saying "Master, how? Did you find any trace of those people?".

Marquis Bonjer shook his head "I have no luck, I have found no trace of them at all!".

"It shouldn't be possible, the man who tried to attack us was heavily injured and nearly dead, he couldn't have escaped far from here unless Mili left him or buried his body", murmured Holuka objected, he was sure the 2 people must still be around here.

The Marquis asked strangely "Isn't there 1 other way, as long as Mili becomes the spirit of the man, all his wounds will recover and then they can escape together. However the man had come all the way here just for the woman, do you think Mili would not be touched?".

"You may not understand, but I have known Mili for a long time" Holuka said firmly "He is a proud and cold-blooded woman, the possibility of him acknowledging someone as his master is too small just because he owes a favor, let alone Mili ever reject your offer that is very profitable is not it? It was a clear proof of the arrogance he had, the loyalty he had to the kingdom would not let him acknowledge anyone as his master".

As they were busy talking, a figure of Jirfa suddenly appeared among them "Master, Holuka it seems like I found their whereabouts, let's follow me!".

Without waiting for the 2 people's answer, Jirfa immediately rushed away, he was afraid that Mili and Myro would run away again.

Marquis Bonjer and Holuka stared at each other, nodding and chasing Jirfa into the forest.

They all arrived in front of a cave that was located quite hidden in the forest valley, there were many rocks as well as trees covering the door of this cave so it was quite difficult to find.

Holuka who saw the position of the cave was a little surprised "The location is really-benae very hidden, I now understand why we have not found them since. Sir, what should we do?".

Marquis Bonjer said firmly "Don't waste any more time, everyone is besieging the cave from all sides with Holuka and Jirfa who are in front, this time we can't let them escape again".

Everyone nodded, they surrounded the cave then approached the front door secretly so that the person hiding there was completely unaware of their existence.

After their distance of about 50 meters from the cave, there was still no sign of people hiding in the cave realizing them.

Realizing that the people in the cave had yet to realize their arrival, Marquis Bonjer smiled happily, moreover they found 2 footprints in front of the cave which added to his belief that Myro and Mili were hiding here.

Different from the delighted Marquis Bonjer, Holuka's face turned grim "Attack to the cave! Even though Mili was heavily injured, he was still a great general who became a spirit! He should have been aware of our arrival, but there hasn't been any sign of the cave".

After shouting, Holuka rushed towards the cave first, Jirfa immediately followed behind her along with Marquis Bonjer as well as all his soldiers.

When they reached the cave, their faces changed finding that there were a lot of strange marks around the cave.

Seeing the strange mark, Holuka's face turned frantic "Everyone ran away from the cave!".

Without hesitation, Holuka and Jirfa stood in front of the Marquis, they used their energy to protect him.

"Shelf!".

The ground under everyone's feet shattered, sharp ice emerging from the holes in the ground piercing everyone in the cave. Not even just in the cave, those who were at the door of the cave were also startled by the sharp ice emerging from the ground.

The sharp ice spread rapidly from the ground forming like a collection of ice trees like a forest.

The ice only covered a distance of about 100 meters from the cave before stopping.

Half of the Marquis' army was killed by the ice, while the other few were strong enough to stop the surprise attack from this forest of ice spikes.

The Marquis was sitting scared on the ground, were it not for Holuka and Jirfa who had come in time to protect him, he would have already died.

Jirfa who stopped the ice spikes said annoyedly "Actually who would dare to use such a devious manner? Do they have no shame, wearing runes to defeat the enemy?".

Different from Jirfa, Holuka's face remained flat but there was indeed a trace of anger as well because she was fooled by the enemy "This is a battlefield, there is no fair or unfair strategy on the battlefield, there is no, there is only winning and losing. Therefore, it is our own fault that is deceived by the enemy. But I'm a little curious, didn't you feel anything strange about the runes just now?".

"Any?", said Jirfa puzzledly, he shook his head after not finding any clue "Isn't a normal rune like that?".

"That was not a normal rune, proof that Rune was just able to kill half of the trained troops here" Holuka said with a gloomy face "Even before we came to this age, in our old days where many strong people as well as fearsome experts, there were only less than 5 people who could wear this rune".

Jirfa immediately understood the meaning of Holuka's words "Do you mean that the rune was an Ancient Rune? No way! Wasn't it in this age, the Ancient Runes had already disappeared? Even from the very many people we asked, they have all forgotten the Ancient Rune!".

"There are many things we don't know in this world, don't jump to conclusions" Holuka said with a grim face "It seems that there are enough great people helping Mili this time around".

A soldier who was still alive and in front of the cave ran over towards the Marquis.

The Marquis who had just stood up said angrily, however, he was very embarrassed for falling down from fear "What's wrong?".

Hesitating for a moment for fear of the anger of the Marquis, the soldier tried to brave "Master, found footprints that moved eastward, from what I valued, it looks like the footprints belong to 2 people".

"There is no doubt, they have already gone from the cave and rushed east, to the Golden Mountain where the final fight will be conducted" Holuka said firmly "Come, come on, we have to catch up to them before we lose track of them completely".

"Wait a minute!", cried Marquie Bonjer who stopped the 2 spirits "When they move east, they flee to the territory of Count Vaghol, which means they flee to the territory of Count Vaghol, we can't act rashly there!".
