133 The Conviction (2)

"Guards, stop him!!!" The king roared.

Genereal McGregor was holding a sword that he stole from a guard and launched right at me. I was in shock with the happenings that I wasn't able to react fast.

It happened so fast that only my eyes were keeping up but my body's movement felt slow. I see the guards ran towards the general, trying to stop his advance towards me.

But the general was a veteran fighter and a master in using a sword. The guards did not stood a chance against him. In a flash, the general was able to fight past against the guards that were trying to block his advance.

My head felt heavy and my heart was thumping rapidly.

'What will I do?' I thought in panic.

I can use my magic to stop the general from attacking me. But if I display my magic powers now, I am afraid I would be the next one to be persecuted just by having Atlantian blood.
