Haory and Belén ran towards Rima in panic. It was as if they had completely forgotten about Bilaz's presence.
Bilaz frowned in displeasure but didn't stop them from reaching Rima. He was very much wanted to see them in despair. 'This is what you get for being arrogant in front of me.' He sneered inwardly.
Belén and Haory arrived beside Rima and checked her condition. Right after their expressions turned serious. She had fallen unconscious and wasn't breathing.
Haory started emitting a murderous aura as she glared at Bilaz with her bloodshot eyes.
After seeing her mother and her family die in front of her, she didn't want to see anyone close to her die.
This was also why she always acted aloof and unapproachable so that others would keep their distance and she wouldn't become close to anyone.
However, after being in the same group and fighting and living together for more than one month, although she didn't express it, she started treating them as her friends.
Now seeing her friend die in front of her, many emotions surged inside her. She felt anger, sadness, helplessness and many other emotions.
However she couldn't do anything apart from glaring at him, since she had exhausted her mana completely.
Seeing her murderous look, Bilaz laughed recklessly "Hahaha... Don't worry. Your death will be worse than her." He then looked at Rima and clicked his tongue "It's a pity that she was in a rush to die. Because of this I couldn't enjoy her enchanting body. But it's okay you two are bad either. Hahaha!"
Hearing this, Haory clenched her teeth so hard that blood started leaking out and took out a short sword to attack him.
Belén examined Rima's body to search for any sighs of life.
Her eyes glittered as she felt a very faint heartbeat. She quickly took out a green coloured liquid from her spatial bag and drank it herself before putting her lips on Rima's and made her drink it.
After a few seconds the green liquid went down her throat, Rima's faint heartbeat gradually became louder and blood started rushing in her veins again.
"Pffff..." Suddenly blood burst out from her mouth and her eyelashes fluttered.
Phew!
Belén took a deep breath after seeing this. Haory and Bilaz also saw this. While Haory was relieved seeing her alive, Bilaz frowned.
He knew with how much force he hit her. Generally speaking, she shouldn't be alive. However, she clearly survived,
He looked at Belén and sneered "I didn't expect you to have a life potion. However, what's the benefit of her being alive. She would only suffer even more in my hands."
Saying this he ran towards them and punched at Belén "How dare you waste a precious life potion on her. Everything you have belongs to me now."
"I don't think so." Belén sneered and took out a long whip and whipped at him. Seeing this, Bilaz also punched at it.
Slap!
A crisp sound echoed as her Whip slapped at his fist.
Bilaz was astonished. He retreated and looked at his fist. His stony skin had a centimetre deep and three inches long cut mark and blood was coming out from the wound.
He looked at the green coloured Whip in her hand. It was more than five feet long and two fingers thick. Its tail had many small black crystalline thorns. "Is it a grade two magic weapon?" He asked.
"Yes. It is." Belén nodded as she brandished it again.
"No wonder." He exclaimed in a low voice and then his lips curled into a cold grin "However, can you still use it?"
Belén's expression became unpleasant upon hearing this. She stared at him coldly without saying anything.
She didn't want to lower her and Haory's morale by answering his question. However, she couldn't use the Whip again since her mana core was devoid of mana.
Any magic artefacts can only be used when you have sufficient amount of Mana. Although her Whip was designed to use very low amount of Mana, it still needed some and Belén had squeezed every last drop inside her in last strike.
Seeing her reaction, Bilaz's grin widened and he slowly walked towards her.
"Haory, you pick up Rima and flee. I'll try to hold him back as long as I can." Belén shouted at her and swung her Whip at him.
Haory looked at her and sighed. She knew that he wouldn't let them escape. However she still went to pick Rima up.
Slap!
Belén's Whip struck him on his chest. However this time, it only ripped his clothing a little.
He casually grabbed the Whip and pulled. Belén's physical strength was only average, therefore her Whip easily flew out of her hands.
Bilaz swung it a few times and commented "It's a good weapon. I'll earn quite a bit after selling it."
He then looked toward Haory who was picking Rima up and Whipped at her feet.
Slap!
The skin of her feet was shredded and blood flowed out. Although she felt immense pain, she only clenched her teeth hard without making any sound.
Bilaz coldly smiled "Acting tough eh? Let's see how much longer can you endure then."
Slap!
Saying this, he whipped at her left shoulder. Her sleeves along with the skin was ripped. Haory trembled in pain but she didn't make any sound.
He once again brandished it to Whip at her right shoulder. However, Belén moved her away and was whipped across her back instead.
"Ah..." She cried in a low voice as her skin was torn. She kneeled on the ground while trying to suppress her cries. Fortunately, Bilaz's wasn't using any mana or her spine would also have been torn.
"Can't see your friend hurt eh? How sentimental! So I'll whip you instead then." Bilaz laughed and aim to Whip at her buttocks.
Haory saw this and was infuriated. She moved to block it with her short sword.
Clang!
The Whip was block but the sword was broken into two pieces. One piece landed beside Belén. Bilaz didn't stop and once again aimed at Belén's ass.
Haory and Belén both were helpless and thought 'Are we going to be tortured and humiliated like this before dying at his hands?'
Swish!
The Whip moved through the air and was about to land on her buttocks.
Whoosh!.
Just then, he noticed from the corner of his eye that a small fireball was flying very fast towards him.
He instantly took the Whip back and struck it down.
"Who's there?" He shouted.
"Your death!" A cold voice answer which made him break out in cold sweat.
