Chapter 131: Ronin (2)

"What are they?" Feldan asked, collapsing on his four limbs. "They are not human, are they?"

"No, they are not," Shin agreed and found Ronin approaching him. 

Without a word, the youth came for the collar in his neck, and Shin unconsciously withdrew a couple of steps. He had seen what the next course of action could do. The other time, Ronin freed Feldan off his collar, half a dozen men blasted off with half of them being dead with the self destruct feature. 

So there is a very good chance that the collar would turn his head into brown and red goo, before Ronin could remove it.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Ronin said and approached with his arm.

Shin caught it, glaring with his eyes. "At least wait till I unseal my mana," he said.

"We can't wait till that. You have seen what those men are capable of. Basically, they are unkillable. I'm barely holding on, and there's a very good chance I will not be able to go against any one of them, not to mention even if I manage to kill even one of them, they will come back to life."

"That's why I told you to help me unseal my mana," Shin said coldly. 

"We don't have time," Ronin said again. "You are bound by the contract to abide by anything reasonable." 

"What I'm saying is far more reasonable."

"Yes," Ronin agreed. "But I can't help you there. You have to do it yourself." 

"What are you talking about?" Shin's voice was cut off as the arm caught his collar. 

"Don't move."

"Let it go," Shin said, eyes dagger at Ronin. 

Then Ronin jerked his arm violently, as the collar broke away from Shin's neck before flinging ten mere away. Shin was about to shout with anger when the blast occurred. 

"For a moment I thought I was dead," Shin said, glaring at the guy. 

"We need to move quickly, those creatures will likely come after the explosion."

Saying that Ronin moved. Feldman gave him a look and followed. Shin gritted his teeth and rubbed his neck. Then he found in the moment of shock he actually created a hole in the sealing. And now a warm sure of mana rushing out of it to his entire body, relieving some amount of his pain.

He released a breath and stood up to follow behind.

Ten minutes later, Shin shut the door pressing his back hard, panting heavily from his nostrils and mouth. Blood dried on his body, while he's already rag of clothes was wet and pressed against his skin with all that. It was seriously uncomfortable to stay like that, but freeing his mana he was far better now.

Sadly, the injuries would need more time to heal. Moreover, He was not the only one with such an injury. Ronin, the mysterious guy and Feldan are no better with their injuries. While Feldan was the least contributing of the trio, his injuries were the ugliest.

Ronin was a little better in that case, though he took fewer injuries, he had a bloody wound on the boy's chest. Still, without him, they would not be able to get away. Other than his commanding, and reckless behaviour this guy was quite decent, but Shin could not bring himself to like him. 

Well, it was not his fault. First, Ronin haggled with the promise to save him. Shin had no problem with that. He might even overdo with the promises if he could just go away from the madman. Then when he asked to unreal his mana, this guy denied him easily, and not to mention the last act. 

Signing, Shin got to his next course of action. First, he calmed his mind and tried to access the spatial inventory bonded with his spirit.

A bright smile appeared on his lips immediately, as soon a vial of medicine appeared on his arm, then other meds.

"Finally," Shin muttered and found the other two looking at him, blinking. Shin ignored it for now and gulped down the potion first and then a couple of painkillers.

"How?" Ronin asked. 

Shin snorted and considered for a moment. 'No, I have to be better than that,' he told himself. Though squabbling with them came as quite tempting, it was not the right thing to do since they are far from free.

Clicking his tongue at them, Shin brought out another two vials of portion before tossing it towards the two of them.

Ronin caught it easily, but Feldan fumbled a couple of times before dropping to the ground. Fortunately, the vial was made of far better crystal to be broken so easily.

"I have a spatial inventory," Shin said, as more items were brought out before him. "That is how I defeat you, Feldan."

The upper-class man did not seem to hear him gulping down the healing potion, even when there was nothing left.

While Ronin was staring at him, with a knit on his brow. 

"A thank you would be adequate," Shin snorted and got busy stripping his rags and cleaning himself, creating a little water with his wave control. Under the watchful gazes of the two, he stripped naked and turned. After cleaning all the blood stains and checking his wounds, he changed into new clothes. Though his Inventory holds a set of light armour sets, he did not change into them, but the simple leather dress of the institute. He needed to rest a bit to even wear those. 

His body still hurts and wearing those still would not be an efficient way to close his wounds. Even though healing potion helps, it was still lesser ones, and would need at least an hour or two to close the wounds. 

As Shin wore his dress, he found himself thinking of Enna. That healer girl would have been more helpful here. But he shook her head. It's better that she was not here. After all, he saw Ileana went through. 

Finished changing, Shin got back to the floor and eyed the two. Some of their colour has returned though, like him, they would need time to heal up. Shin thought for a second and stood up to walk towards Feldan. 

With a shared look, Shin got Feldan's acknowledgement and pressed his arm against the chest of him, peeking a look at their saviour. Ronin did not voice out any issue, so Shin worked on unsealing the mana. 

"Thank you," Feldan said with a more reserved voice. All the beating and experience he went through had brought down his arrogance a lot. 

SHin nodded and did not get back to where he was before, but chose a better spot to sit. Breathing evenly for a while to get back to his natural breathing, he gave Ronin a look.  "Any idea on our next steps?"

"We got the better of the trackers, and since you two freed yourself from the mana sealing, we will have more power on our hands. Still, we are injured, first, we need to secure some stamina and health first before taking the next steps." 

"Have you considered, if you unsealed our mana, we would be in a much better state?" Shin asked grudgingly, and Feldan was the same.

Ronin ignored the complaints and continued. "As we found out, those slavers are unkillable. That means there is something serious going on. It would be nice to investigate that, but since they were coming for our lives, and we three will not do a thing about them, our best course of action will be to flee from here at the first chance."

"I won't leave without securing Ileana," Shin said incredulously. 'And others for the care.' He did not know who else would be here, but since Feldan was here, that means others could be here.

Ronin frowned at him for once, but did not say anything.

Shin said nothing and got his mind into meditation. Though he freed his mana, his aura and channelling system was rather shaky currently, he needed to care for that first. Perhaps, a couple of hours will be enough, though he very much doubts he would get a couple of hours of free time here. 

Still, it's better to stay ahead as much as possible. Closing his eyes, his mind works on the visualisation that he first learned from ELiro and Lyra. a small bowl of water appeared on his mind, within a couple of minutes the bowl increased in its size before turning into a small pool with waves of wind hovering in slow ripples of waves.

Shin found serenity easier than he had assumed, and taking advantage of that serenity he thought about all the options he had. If it was a month before, he would have to give all his effort to the visualisation, but not so anymore, currently, he could think as he pleases after getting done with the visualisation. His brother, Elior told him, it's the basic idea of breaking one's mind, to focus on two things at the same time. When the skill Focus reaches level 6, it can be achieved to do little things like thinking and meditation at the same time.

Like Ronin had said, Shin ignored those immortal creatures that he saw with his own eyes come back to life. He can't do very much there. His main intention was to save Ileana first.. He thought about the items he had on his inventory, the sword and armour would be useful, but it could not give him an edge over those creatures.
