A Parting Gift

Chapter 2

“Gah!”

-There is more than expected. To think that there would be a hidden mob’s den here as well as a dragon’s den.- Allan thought to himself with visible concern with the quickly escalating situation.

“Allan! Lookout behind you!” Noah shouts as he worries for his brother.

“Finally, some breathing room. I don't know how long I can keep this up, but at this rate I might have to force Noah’s awakening by transferring my innate trait [Restricted]” Allan states as he breathes heavily.

“Noah! Follow my lead. You hide inside that crevice there by your right, and don’t leave until either I or mom or dad says so, okay?” Allan commanded his brother.

Noah immediately follows. -Is it because of me that Allan can’t fight back at his full strength? I must help him in some way, but how? If I get out hiding, then I may only hinder him. Maybe I should just stay here and pray that mom and dad finds us.- Noah thought to himself.

-If only I was stronger, I would be able to help him fight those monsters- he added.

Noah was shaking from fear and worry. As he is still a child, Noah saw himself as a dead-weight that only held back his brother. And all that he can do is pray for the safety of his brother and that their parents arrive and save them.

-How could there be even more? There’s even a troll in the fray now.- Allan thought to himself.

“Noah! Are you hiding now?” Allan asked his brother, not being able to look as he was overwhelmed.

“Yes!” His brother answered.

-Great, I’ll just have to survive till they come.- Allan thought as he recollected his thoughts.

The sudden surge of purple flame floods the corridor and scares some of the low-leveled monsters. However, it means that only those that are strong remain.

As the higher leveled monster went through the wall of flames, Allan readied to cast his next spell.

[Purple-clad Claw]

Allan quickly leaped into the enemies and attacked them in an ordered manner.

[You successfully landed a critical hit]

[You successfully landed a critical hit]

[You successfully landed a critical hit]

This repeated five more times, as he clawed his way to the back line of the enemy to deal with the ranged dealers. Blood spewed out as he trudged along the horde of countless monsters.

He eventually met a wall. The trolls of the cave laughed as if they were tickled by his attacks.

They lifted their weapons, a pillar made out of stones. They began to position themselves as if they were just going to swing a bat.

-They’re big and from what could be seen, they sure are forces of nature. [Wisp's Protection] is still on cooldown, so I’ll have to gather as much mana to protect myself and use [Purple Blaze] to somehow cushion the hit- Allan strategizes with the little amount of time.

And as he predicted the trolls swung the pillar of stone like a bat at him.

Allan was sent flying as if he was just a baseball in the eyes of those trolls. A loud crash could be heard all around the cave as Allan hit the walls at terrifying speed.

*Cough ,cough*. “Ha! You manage to land that massive damage even though I used everything I have to protect myself” Allan smirks as he cough up blood.

[You lost a large portion of health in on attack, you will be briefly stunned]

-Well, I really do have to force the awakening of Noah.- Allan thought to himself with regret.

The trolls are quickly advancing, with nothing he could do, Allan felt resigned and regretful. He felt hopeless as he would not be able to see his brother grow. And regret, as has to give a will so that the spell will be performed.

As Allan’s body recovered from being shocked, he went straight to where his brother was hiding.

“Noah be a good boy and don’t trouble mom and dad as I will not be with you anymore, okay? Promise me that you will be good right? That you will grow strong, that you will achieve greatness. Right, Noah Winston?” Allan whispered to his brother.
