Now, can a woman or a person truly fall for someone just because they saved them?
Of course not.
Neither women nor humans are such simple creatures.
However, this is the case if someone you have never seen before saves you.
Women are not that cheap.
They are neither bunch of lustful pigs that are only a tool for pleasure nor a bunch of greedy dogs that only follow money; although some modern women are, not all of them are like that.
What I mean is that every woman is, firstly, a human too. Therefore, they have their own complex thoughts in their mind, which mostly a man would hardly understand, and they have their own criteria for the man they want to be with.
They are not that shallow to fall for someone random that saved them from any other random one. They are not that easy.
At least the woman Callius choose to be with can't be that shallow.
Then, you might ask how come to Aliya was looking at him with those shining eyes.
Then his answer would be simple.
A woman would not fall for a random person that just saved them.
But they would fall for a person they had already inclined to love firsthand, just like Aliya and his case.
When Callius attacked the bandit that was assaulting Aliya, ignoring his own injuries, the first thing that was on his mind was to check her condition of her, showing he himself started considering her as his precious person as well.
And, if you like a person or start loving him/her, then even those small details that you wouldn't normally notice would appeal to your eyes, making you love them more.
As for the case of Aliya, the fact that Callius directly rushed to her help, ignoring any other people in convoy even without their relationship wasn't even progressing much, made her heart flutter, coupled with her not healthy mind for that moment, her thoughts were extreme.
That was basically the reason why Aliya's thoughts were this extreme….
******
/THUD/
"Huh?"
A head rolling down to the ground.
A boy with white hair and bright blue eyes, who was the source of a bunch of black lightning bolts spreading from his body to the environment, was holding the cheek of a girl that was kneeling on the ground with her eyes teary.
"Aliya. Are you okay?"
With his voice soft, he asked.
"Ah…. Callius….."
With slight pauses in her words, the girl was shaking a bit.
'No. I don't want to show him that I am weak. Aliya, hold your tears…. Don't ever think of crying.'
Biting her lower lips, she looked at the deep blue eyes that were only seeing her at that moment.
Bright green eyes that were trying so hard to mask the tears that were pushing to fall down.
"I am okay…. Thank you."
With a low voice, she said, trying to avert her gaze.
"Really?"
"Yes."
Hearing this, a smile bloomed on the white-haired boy's face.
"You don't need to force yourself. You can rest now."
'Ah…. He understood right away….'
"I… I don't want to show myself to you like this."
"Isn't it fine to show all your faces to the person you love? You don't need to hide anything."
"Ah…. The person I love…."
With her ears and cheeks getting redder and redder, she mumbled.
"Isn't it?"
Seeing the teasing smile on his face and hearing this, her mood started getting better and better, making her forget that dark moment before.
"Un!"
With a bright smile, she answered.
"Good. This is my Aliya."
"…. But, you need to help them."
"I will. Don't worry."
/SCHLINK/ /CRACKLE/
With his sword raised, he took his position, turning his head towards the battlefield.
"I will be waiting for you while looking after Father."
"You won't wait for too long."
His white hair fluttering with the pressure and the wind, those black lightning bolts that were jumping out from his body….
At that moment, he looked like the Lord of Thunder himself.
*****
The moment I saw the situation convoy was in, I realized how severe it was.
From time to time, the sound of clashing could be heard, and from the strength of the aftereffects, it was a clash between two four-star knights.
'Must be Wayne.'
Concluding that, I rushed to the place where I could see a bunch of mana traces in the air.
And the scene before my eyes was something that made my blood boil.
Signs of fighting everywhere.
The rogue of the party had already stopped breathing, with his eyes dead.
However, there was one thing that got my attention the most.
Aliya was being attacked by a bandit.
'He is touching her?'
The moment I saw him holding Aliya's mouth, my thoughts started getting more and more dangerous.
'You are touching something mine?'
'I will kill you. I will murder you.'
That was the only thing on my mind.
And with my emotions getting stronger and stronger in my mind, I grabbed my sword tightly.
/RUMBLE/
The thunder that was swirling in the air was getting stronger and stronger with each second.
<Ding! Class Ruler of Lightning resonates with the host's will to command.>
<Ding! Class Ruler of Lightning becomes one with the environment.>
<Ding! Lightning obeys the host's command.>
<Ding! Temporary trait [Dark Lord of Thunder] acquired.>
<Host's knight rank is temporarily reached the 4th rank.>
With those words resonating in my mind, I felt the strength surging in my body.
Disappearing from the place I was in, I dashed towards the bandit that was looking at me, noticing my existence.
Then severed his head from his body, killing him like slicing butter.
And the rest was pretty obvious….
After I checked the condition of Aliya, I turned my attention to the battlefield again.
/RUMBLE/ /SWOOSH/
Disappearing from the place I was in with thunder obeying my command, I reached the bandits that were attacking the elves.
"Wha-"
"Jo- Kurghk----"
/STAB/ /STAB/
Before they could even move their mouths, there were two holes where blood was spurting….
On their necks….
/SWING/ /SPLASH/
Swinging my Nihil to clear the blood on it, I started tracing the battlefield.
"COME HERE, YOU BASTARDS! FIGHT LIKE A MAN!"
And heard a shout of someone familiar coming.
Seeing Salma being encircled by a bunch of bandits, I started channeling my aura and lightning mana around my sword.
And then aligned me vertically again.
Firing a lightning bolt from the tip of my sword, I burned one bandit alive, with smoke rising from his body.
"AAAAAAAAH!"
/SWOOSH/
"KYLE! WHAT THE HELL!"
Disappearing from the place I was in, I dashed towards the bandit that was shouting.
/STAB/ /STAB/
Before he could even raise his sword, a pair of attacks had already pierced his chest.
"Kurghk---"
/CRACKLE/ /CRACKLE/
Ignoring the blood spurting from his mouth, I turned my attention to the others.
"Callius. Don't interrupt my fight."
"Shut up, old hag. You are going to die at this pace."
"HA! WHO ARE YOU CALLING, OLD HAG!"
"You, obviously."
"You cheeky kid. I will disciple you properly when we finish this fight."
"First, stay alive, you hag."
/STAB/ /SPLURT/
I said while taking out my sword from the neck of another bandit.
And just like that, the fight went on….
*****
"Who was the one that gave you this drug?"
"Cough, cough….. Kurgh-----"
I asked the leader of the bandits that were coughing blood from his mouth.
"….."
"I asked you a question."
/SPIT/
"!"
Feeling the slimy substance on my face, I almost lost my temper, killing this bastard on the spot.
"Heh…. So you want to play like that."
The fight was already over, all the bandits being killed aside from the leader in front of me. They were already going to kill him if not for the questions I wanted to ask.
With his eyes glaring at me like a beast, he opened his mouth.
"Just kill me already. I won't tell you anything about him."
"Ho… So it was a 'he.'"
"….."
/THUD/
"Now, if you tell me where did you get this drug from, I will grant you a painless death."
Kicking him on his chest, I said.
"Cough…. Cough…. If I was scared of the pain, I wouldn't become a bandit."
"Is that so?"
"It is."
"Then, let me ask you a question. Do you know how the human body operates?"
"Huh?"
"Of course, you won't know. You are a bandit, after all."
"…."
"Now you might be thinking, how does this relate to our subject?
"….."
"You see, our body is operated by an organ we call as brain, which is in your head."
"….."
"But how does the brain control your arms, your legs? Or how can you feel the pain? The answer is pretty simple. It is doing all of those things with this thing in my hand."
/FLICKER/
Flicking my fingers, I generated a lightning bolt.
"Now, I won't bother with explaining all those things to you. I just wanted to know how a person can be hurt with enough amount of electricity, and you will be my guinea pig. Hope you are ready."
With a devilish smile on my face, I electrolyzed the tip of my finger while activating my [All Seeing Eye].
"Now, let's see where you are weak, shall we?"
Then pressed the places I saw with my eye.
"AAAAAH!"
Just like that, the torture session 1 started….
