Redemption
after making one of the tower turn in dust, of course everyone would be shocked.
now since they do not know who's behind the scene, that's what makes them more scared and more alert.
because of what happened, I made general Talius Came out to wherever he is hiding, of course he would be threatened.
judging by the imperial mages capabilities, I don't think they have enough mp or any spell at all that could do this much damage.
while everyone is distracted, General Talius lives up to his name he is not a general for no reason, he took the chance and moved so quick and he immediately killed one member of the rescue team.
After slicing one of them in half, he then said, Who's next?
during the commotion, Lucas is not an idiot who would just stand there doing nothing, he somehow managed to remove his chains, of course no one could match up to General Talius, Lucas somehow managed to find a sword lying on the ground, although the quality is not the best, it's 10x better than nothing.
wearing the same clothes as I am, tattered prisoner clothes and just a rusty sword.
he is very much at a disadvantage here.
all wounded and exhausted, of course since we're both in the same boat, I wanted to give him a helping hand, even though he ate my portion of food, back in that cell.
I immediately used my fast healing to heal him up, since they can't see me, he didn't know that I was healing me.
On lucas' mind, "Strange, Why do I feel something warm circling inside my body, it feels like all the fatigue are gone, with this I might be able to escape this place somehow."

Soon after Lucas felt better, General Talius was so quick that in just a moment he is already inside Luca's range, they are battling in the middle of the fortress, both Lucas rescue team, and the imperials soldier are also battling to protect their leaders, there are no one that will get in the way of their fight, it's a battle between 2 leaders.
General Talius is using a barrage of attack using his giant sword, I think his sword is even bigger than me. because he knew that Lucas doesn't have the gear to block all his attack just a little bit of mistake could break his sword and end his life, but Lucas is not gonna die easily as well, dodging one attack after another, after a moment Lucas found an opening and tried to stabbed the generals Chest, but it seems like the general is expecting this kind of attack he raised his other hand, pointing it at Lucas and a blast of shockwave struck Lucas, so strong it made Luca's sword break into pieces, the shockwave was too strong Lucas couldn't withstand it, it made him flew away and slammed his body straight to the fortress wall near to where I'm sneaking around.
It made Lucas vomit blood, I immediately used my Fast healing on him again and Placed exploding remote rune about a few feet away from Lucas, because I knew that General talius is about to finish him.
General Talius walked slowly to where Lucas is sitting struggling to get-up, of course he would be in a dazed.
While walking slowly he is saying something to Lucas.
"Before you embark on a journey of revenge, you have to come prepared and dig two graves, one for your army....
and one for you!"
He stepped in the center of my exploding rune, it was the best chance I could take, and made it explode. there's a lot of smoke that's why I couldn't see him, but I know for sure that he is not dead.
I made the rune explode with the intention to kill him.
I wonder why I don't feel anything at all, killing another person feels so natural and nothing at all.
It seems like my skill: Calm Mind keeps me from getting insane.
after the smoke from my exploding rune fade, he was looking at me, he knew where I was located, he was wounded but not badly. the imperial mages immediately healed him up, it was a slow heal, it's like 100x slower kind of heal compared to what I'm using.
My instinct told me to save, and so I did.
Now Saving...
Saved!
after a blink of an eye, I knew for sure that he was standing there, but after I opened my eyes, he was not there anymore.
Strange.... I can see my own body, and I'm headless.
It seems like I died.

same scenario, I tried to save again.
Now Saving...
Saved.
This time I knew what he is aiming for, my neck!
I ducked, and swung my mistral sword in a circular motion, he blocked it with his sword.
and used the same spell shockwave, it threw me in the middle of the fortress.
Fast Healing!
I still have a full hp but I don't know if I can fight him with my current status right now.
QS 1!
Now Saving..
Saved.
Once again I can see my own body.

I ducked again once more, did the same technique. this time I was divided into three parts,
my lower body, my left arm and my upper body.

I knew that there's nothing else to do, am I trapped over this same scenario?
I rack my brain up, and I realized that I still have
50 status point remaining, I allocated all of them to my vit status.
now I have 51 vit status.

-------------------
General Lucas was in front of me again, swung his sword to my left leg, it gave me a deep wound.
and but the force of his swing threw me to the fortress wall again.

Status:
HP: 400/600
MP: 410/500

One swing of this sword is 200 damage, so I'm only three hits and I'm dead, but I have fast healing we can probably do this all day.
Of course I can withstand his attack now, but how am I supposed to kill him?
with mistral sword? I can't probably hit him with this.
Exploding rune is my best bet.
since he can detect me even with cloaking and muffle.
I used my remanining 31 skill points to level up my Exploding remote rune.
system message:
remote exploding rune leveled up

.
After reaching lvl 20, I still have 16 skill points left, I couldn't increase it further, I checked my status and it says
remote exploding rune: Max
Max RUNE: no limit
System Message:
after maxing out your remote exploding rune, you have learned a specialized skill,
Remote atomic exploding rune, this is a specialized skill and therefore cannot be leveled up.
but you can still increase the level by finding a certain skill book.
Max Atomic RUNE that can be placed is only 1
This rune is defusable.
It will need 80% of your MP to make it explode
--------------
I didn't know what that skill is capable but it's worth giving it a try.
I placed the atomic rune in the wall behind me, and a remote exploding rune, on the ground, just behind me, since I don't have any blink skill or any skill that I can use to escape, I'm gonna use the blast from the exploding rune to make a distance between me and him, and kill him using the atomic rune.
He was looking at me, with a fierce gaze.
He then stop rushing towards me for a moment, and relayed a message.
"Young man, it pains my heart that someone so young and talented like you are about to die by my hands, you helping these low life rebels is basically killing yourself, you are talented but you are an idiot!"
of course, given the opportunity, I replied to taunt him. Since I don't have a direct magic spell to kill him, I need to bait him to rush here.
I shouted from afar,
"If I wanted to kill myself, I would climb your ego and jump down to your IQ, that would probably kill me in 1 hit."
he was so pissed off, just according to plan, he aimed for my neck, I ducked down, and triggered exploding rune, since he is standing directly to the rune, it made a major damage to him, that's level 20 exploding rune for you, the damage is not going to be a joke.
he was badly injured, probably 7 of those rune could kill him, since I'm near the exploding rune, I'm not safe as well, I was badly injured. Due to the impact, my body was slammed to the other end of the fortress.
Since I think I'm in a safe distance now, I made the atomic rune explode. It made a Spherical Explosion (to imagine the size it's half the size of The Superior Dome in Michigan you can look it up on the internet), it ate up half of the fortress and dug probably 40ft to the ground, after an explosion of that big, of course there would be a shockwave, the shockwave was so strong it knocked down most of the trees in the forest, and made some of the building collapse.
everyone was in state of shock not knowing how to react, and for General Talius, I can't even see a trace of him, he probably melted.
