Chapter 300: Records Are Not Always Correct Reynolds watched as the Earth Elementalist approached him, there was no sign of fear on his face, rather, he even had a smile on it. The Earth Elementalist who was already close to him suddenly felt goosebumps when she saw him smiling and doubt sprang up in her mind. But she quickly suppressed the doubt in her mind and attacked Reynolds with her most powerful attack. Huge boulders appeared mid-air from different positions, shooting straight for Reynolds who was standing not too far from her. Her attack was so precise that it cut off all of Reynolds’ escape routes, only with an insanely precise and fast movement will he be able to escape. ‘Since he currently has to keep his Elemental Warrior up, he shouldn’t be able to use any elemental essence since all of it is being channeled to the Elemental Warrior.’ thought the young lady. Her expression changed when she realized that Reynolds was no longer in his previous position. All she heard was the buzzing sound of lightning before her vision slowly started to fade. “How?” She managed to ask with blood rushing out of her chest and mouth. But she closed her eyes soon after she asked this question. “Since you’re dead, I’ll do you the honors and answer that. You see, high-grade summoners are not like normal summoners, we can perfectly fight while our Elemental Warriors are fighting. The only reason we refrain from doing it is that the essence consumption almost doubles. I hope you can rest peacefully with this explanation,” Reynolds replied with a chuckle before removing his hand that was covered in lightning, and passing through the back of the young lady, appearing on the other side of her chest. His hand was covered in blood, but it didn’t bother him. Reynolds’ hand was the only thing keeping the young lady’s body standing, when he removed his hand from her chest, she fell on the ground with a ‘Thud’. He turned to look at the Fire Elementalist who currently looked like she just saw a ghost. She saw everything clearly, from how Reynolds casually escaped from her comrade’s attack, to when he stabbed her with his hand which was covered in lightning, almost like a blade. She also heard Reynolds’ explanation which brought her into a state of even more shock. “But… but… the records,” She couldn’t accept the fact that the hard-earned opportunity she created at the cost of herself was wasted. Not just that, but it would also be the cause of her death. “Are not always right. Next time, don’t place all your hopes on it, it might just fail you,” Reynolds advised. But his advice did nothing other than irritating the Fire Elementalist who was bleeding from the gash on her shoulder. She felt he was mocking her since he was still going to kill her. She wanted to speak, but was unable to since the Elemental Warrior started its relentless attacks once again. She could already foresee her death the second her comrade died, but she didn’t want to accept it without fighting. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶 “Ah!” She yelled powerfully before frantically attacking the Elemental Warrior, under Reynolds’ emotionless gaze. Reynolds didn’t try to fight alongside the Elemental Warrior again, he had already used more than half his elemental essence during the course of this battle. Now all he wanted was for the Elemental Warrior to end the battle as soon as possible so he could run away from here to try to recover. He still had five more people to fight against, and his Elemental Warrior was his greatest reliance. If he didn’t have sufficient elemental essence during the battle, then he would be in danger. The Elemental Warrior didn’t fail him and quickly made short work of the young lady within a minute. She surprisingly put on a strong performance against the Elemental Warrior alone, but after getting pierced by three lightning arrows, she couldn’t stay up anymore. Reynolds checked the corpse of both young ladies, but just like Hamon, they had nothing on them. After he was done searching, he quickly left the area. This battle took about four to six minutes, the others should be very close by now. Judging from how he hadn’t sensed any of them, he guessed they were all moving together. ‘Crap! Why the hell are they chasing after me? It’ll be nice if the other ones would tell me though.’ Reynolds thought while running through the forest. All he knew about this was that it had something to do with the Crowned Prince, other than that, he knew nothing else. But he had never had any contacts with the Crowned Prince, so why was he searching for him, going as far as sending such a squad after him? Two minutes after Reynolds left, the other five people appeared from the west. The leader and Johanne had angry eyes when they saw the corpse of the two young ladies. Although they had predicted it, it was still painful to see, especially for the leader. “Where did he go?” The leader tried to ask in a calm voice, but every one of them could sense the chilling killing intent seeping out of his bones. Johanne closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, she opened them and pointed in the direction Reynolds was running in. With her in the group, it is impossible for Reynolds to escape, much less separate them again. They were all wary of his strength now and knew he could very much kill any of them in a one-on-one battle. So they didn’t have any plans of splitting up to search for him, even though some of them were slowing the group down. The leader looked in the direction Johanne pointed at before clenching his fists tightly, this had been the worst mission he had led in his life. Of the seven people he brought with him, three were already dead. If they were still unable to get Reynolds in the end, it would be more frustrating. “Let’s go,” He ordered and they started the chase for Reynolds again.
