As a way of thanking Merilyn and Abraham for saving his life, Jonathan chose not to kill them.
Even so, Jonathan had still wounded Merilyn severely when he tossed her away earlier.
What they did not expect was for Merilyn to drag her wounded body back into the battle and attack them at the very last second.
Although Jonathan was a sentimental person, he was not about to let it get the better of him.
Merilyn and I are even after I spared her life just now, so I have no reason to hold back now that she’s attacking me!
With that in mind, Jonathan raised Heaven Sword and swung it at Merilyn’s throat.
“Don’t do it!” Stellario shouted as he got between them, blocked Jonathan’s wrist with his left hand, and grabbed Merilyn’s broken sword firmly with his right.
That was when the portal formation was fully activated.
Everything around Jonathan became a blur, and he had been teleported to a dark place before he knew it.
The formation mark on the ground vanished as Stellario stared apathetically at Merilyn.
Merilyn saw the blood dripping from his right hand and asked with a trembling voice, “Why didn’t you dodge my blade?”
I was so determined to kill these two for spying on my village, even if it would cost me my life. That was why I went all out in that attack. Had Stellario not intercepted both of us in time, Jonathan’s sword would have cut my head clean off! Why did this scrawny man risk his life to save mine? What exactly is he playing at?
Merilyn had always been teased and made fun of growing up. The males in the village would rather treat her like a guy than see her as a girl.
As such, Merilyn found herself feeling a little awkward when faced with Stellario’s serious gaze. She subconsciously averted her eyes.
Stellario slowly let go of Merilyn’s blade and flashed her a faint smile. “Merilyn…”
He was about to say something, but the teleportation left him feeling so dizzy that he began vomiting on the spot.
Assuming he was vomiting in disgust because of her appearance, Merilyn quickly lowered her head and covered her face with her hands.
Her tears kept falling as she leaned against the wall in dejection and watched Stellario puke away.
I know I’m not good-looking, but the men in the village have never said anything about my appearance ever since I became an adult! Why would Stellario vomit the moment he sees my face? This is just downright insulting!
Stellario realized that he had caused a misunderstanding when he heard Merilyn sobbing in the corner. He quickly waved his hand and said, “No, I’m not vomiting because of you…”
“What is it, then?” Merilyn asked with a sniffle.
“It’s because—”
Stellario began vomiting again immediately after making eye contact with her.
Merilyn cried even louder when she saw his reaction.
It took Stellario about ten seconds to finally stop vomiting. His face was white as a sheet when he stood up straight and explained, “I didn’t vomit because you look ugly or anything, Merilyn. I vomited because the portal formation made me dizzy. It’s like suffering from carsick.”
“Carsick? What is that?” Merilyn asked, choking back on tears.
“Um…”
Stellario stared at Merilyn speechlessly for a few seconds before realizing that cars did not exist in her world.
