Felmer's right arm was shaking. But he maintained his posture and strength. The blade burned intensely with the cyan flame and glowed brightly. The beasts snarled at Felmer, and one of them attacked him. Felmer defended by stepping aside and attacking the beast with the sword in his left hand.
The blade cut through the beast's face, and the beast backed down. Felmer's arm was shaking. He couldn't fight well with his left hand. Another beast attacked, and Felmer barely defended. The beasts were powerful.
Suddenly, another beast attacked from behind. But Felmer didn't get any time to defend. The beast kicked him, and Felmer was sent crashing across the field. He rolled on the ground, dug his sword into the ground and stopped his crash.
The squad looked at Felmer in worry. They wanted to help, but they couldn't.
Soon, Golfiz again got into the battle. He had healed his wound. He generated another sword and stared at Felmer. Felmer's vision was slightly blurred. But he could see him smirking.
Felmer couldn't fight effectively due to his injury. He began to think of something. Soon, the words of the first four sky began to resonate in his mind. Especially the third one.
'Flashy blades don't represent your power.'
Felmer crouched and began to focus his magic on the right arm, trying to stop the bleeding. He calmed his blood flow and his heart, which was racing. Then he focused his mind on his sword. The magic from the flowing blood transferred to the blade, and the intense flame calmed. It surrounded the blade like a wave. He took out another handkerchief and again covered his wound. He tied it tightly.
Felmer took his stance and looked around. The rifle of a soldier was visible.
'If my memory is correct, I saw them fire bullets from those rifles, without cocking after every fire.' Felmer thought.
He knew what to do.
Felmer gathered magic in his feet and rushed at a nearby beast. He attacked, and the blade cut through it. The beast vanished, and Felmer rushed at a soldier with speed. He snatched the rifle and rushed at the big beast. The strap broke, and the soldier looked in shock. He could only watch.
'My rifle!' The soldier thought.
Golfiz spotted and ordered the giant beast to attack Felmer. He had no time to complain. Felmer ran towards his enemies. As another small beast rushed at Felmer, he cut through it and slid. He slid below the giant beast and fired at the head. He fired three bullets in a row. His memory about these rifles was correct. The bullets cut through the head and killed it.
Felmer grabbed the rifle from the barrel and hit a nearby beast with its stock. The beast squeaked in pain and moved aside.
Felmer was fast. Golfiz stumbled and generated tree branches in Felmer's path. Felmer grabbed the rifle in his left hand, and with the sword in his right hand, he swiftly cut through the branches. Golfiz tried to defend with a wooden shield. But the cyan flame cut it, and the shield turned into ashes.
Golfiz lost his balance from Felmer's immense speed and fell. Golfiz tried to use the jewel and generate more beasts, but Felmer immediately cut his hand. Golfiz screamed in pain and grabbed his injured arm. Felmer grabbed the jewel and put it in his pocket.
He walked aside and grabbed Golfiz by the hair. He made him kneel and place his sword on his neck. Ready to behead him. They faced the Falvarian army and looked at them.
"Release the prisoner! You have lost!"
As Felmer said, the only remaining beast rushed at him. Felmer, without turning, aimed the rifle and fired at its head.
The commander of the army looked at Golfiz and then at Felmer. They had lost the terms. They had no reason to resist.
On the commander's orders, the soldiers cut the ropes binding Holtif and let him go. He walked slowly towards his army while looking at Felmer. Holtif nodded at Felmer in thanks. Felmer smiled back and got his attention on Golfiz. Walking slowly, with an injured leg, Holtif reached his army. Salter immediately grabbed him and embraced him.
"Thanks for the jewel…You will be a good present for your king…" Felmer whispered in Golfiz's ears.
Melfer looked at Elna and Captain Irnik. Melfer smirked at them.
"Still doubting him?"
They looked around and realised their mistake.
Felmer pressed his right foot on Golfiz's back and held his sword with both hands. He took a deep breath and aimed at his neck.
"Don't return until you are successful said the king,' Golfiz thought. 'Well, this is better than getting tortured by him.'
With the help of the cyan flame and his physical strength, Felmer's blade cut through Golfiz's neck. His head fell and rolled ahead. Felmer grabbed it and threw it towards the Falvarian army.
"A gift for the king…" Felmer winked at the commander.
The commander watched in disgust. After some hesitation, he signalled a soldier to pick up the head. The soldier followed the orders. The commander looked at King Salter and then at Felmer. He had to accept defeat. He signalled his army, and the Falvarian army turned back. They had lost the battle.
Felmer turned towards the Germaiyinian forces and smiled. The soldiers began to stomp their spears on the ground and chant songs of victory. Melfer and Felmer winked and smiled at each other.
Yet again, Falvaria couldn't defeat Germaiyin. The streak remained.
