It was a grueso event that happened before my eyes. The poor knight got blown into pieces, revealing its organs and blood gushing out from its body. So of those crimson fluids splattered on my face, bathing with the gooey stench of fresh blood.
I widened my eyes when Fenrir killed her first prey in front of . I told her to contain her excitent, but she did not listen. And now, we had to pay the price of making an enemy of the kingdom.
"What have you done?" I asked Fenrir, but my voice never reached her ears.
Fenrir revealed her claws stained with the scarlet liquid, while growling at the corpse. She continued looking around, hunting for anyone standing in her way.
Regardless of her frenzy, I wanted to save Fenrir from anger. I wanted to be there for her side like I did to rleen. Despite getting nothing in return, I still wished to help her. I may be nothing to her, but she was still a friend in my eyes.
And Fenrir saved when I needed her the most. She kept my heart beating again when I lost my pulse. That girl was the one who brought inside her shelter, taking the risk to harm her village.
If I were in her position, I would have fended everyone away, regardless of their species. But Fenrir saved . And it was not just . Fenrir also saved rleen.
It was ti for to repay my rent.
I had learned a lot from losing Afenos and the villager's trust. I did not want to lose those again.
"Fenrir!" I shouted, while leaping from the ground.
Within a few seconds, my body beca light as a feather. When I glanced at my side, my sword glittered like the northern star, shading so hope in these crucial monts. And when the fight broke out, I rembered the words that the shadowy figure said to .
"The sword eats away your good intentions and uses it to boost your strength. That is your sword. That is Clarent!"
Those were the words that the mysterious voice said about my sword. And now, I proved those sentences true.
Just like the aning behind those phrases, my sword granted enhanced strength and speed. Everything around beca slower than usual, except for my body. My system also notified about the increased health and arcane capacity I received from the sword.
The burrowed power strengthened to free Fenrir. Since I wanted to use these abilities to bring back Fenrir, the sword obeyed my wishes.
"Fenrir!" I yelled once again, while raising my sword.
My blade's surface stood between the claws of Fenrir and the bastard sword of another knight. If I had remained the sa from before, I would have blasted away by now. But I didn't.
I kept my posture and shielded the two from their attacks, forcing them to move apart. The two of them landed safely on the ground, glaring at each other and my figure.
After a few seconds, Fenrir shifted her gaze and leered in my direction, accompanied by a fierce growl that sent shivers down my spine.
"Why are you helping them?!" Fenrir shouted, and launched herself towards .
I blocked her attack and yelled [parry]. I did not want to wound her, so blocking her blitz was the wisest choice I could make in this situation.
But that did not stop Fenrir from assaulting . Her anger drifted towards my figure as she slamd her hands against my sword. Although Clarent gifted with these enhancents, Fenrir was five tis more powerful than .
Fenrir gathered more speed each second in a fight. That was what I observed on this battlefield. She planned on prolonging this fight, considering that I still had human stamina compared to a monster.
"Fenrir, you're fighting the wrong enemy!" I exclaid, but the wolf girl never listened.
As soon as she charged straight towards , rleen cast a blinding light that enveloped the room.
Despite the shining light, the illumination never affected my eyes. The entire room briefly got painted into white and reverted to its usual safe.
But those seconds were enough to render Fenrir unconscious on the ground. Despite Fenrir's feral battle, she collapsed after witnessing the light cast by rleen.
"How did you do that?" I asked rleen, who also had a perplexed expression carved on her face.
"I-I don't know! I just wanted to cast so light to disrupt the whole scene!" rleen retorted, while hiding her shivering hands.
Everyone inside the room got blinded for a few seconds. Those status ailnts also revealed themselves on top of their nas while using my system. This blind illness would fade off around a minute before everyone could see once again.
[Blinding light activated!]
[All creatures that rleen considered as enemies would receive the debuff from the spell]
Since rleen trusted and not Fenrir, she cast her protection to from the blinding light. That was the explanation I needed when the spell reached out inside the castle.
I snatched Fenrir's unconscious body, rleen, and the rchant away from the castle. There was no ti for to spare since the place got them crawling with knights and mages. Even on the outside, we might et so of them who wanted to ambush our team. I did not have to carry the rchant, since I barely even know the guy. However, based on the king's conversation, rchant had sothing in mind that made the royalty pissed, creating an argunt between them.
I wanted to understand their conversation, considering that it was the spark of their strife. But for now, escaping from this citadel was our utmost priority. Since we already grabbed everyone, fleeing from this place should be a piece of cake.
Well, that was what I thought when so guards, including the king, woke up from their spell. And those numbers written on the system imdiately changed, as if updating new information inside of .
[Caution! Those armours worn by the Kingdom of Caerleon have negation spells from ailnts. Creator: rchant].
"YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT RIGHT NOW?!" I scread, while cursing the system inside my head.
When I scanned the area, the system did not ntion that detail. And now that those knights woke up, my system dared to warn .
"rleen, can you cast any spells...like, right now? Anything would be fine," I asked.
rleen shook her head and answered, "I-I don't think so. I don't want to kill these people!"
Now that I realised it, rleen could not control her magic power. Although she understood so Science from , those elents might explode if she used them against these people.
rleen resorted to creating barriers surrounding us. Since we could not go for offence, defence beca our ally.
rleen waved her hands and conjured a mud wall at every angle. She used the ground as our walls, with the stones as reinforcents for the barrier. She even added so blaze surrounding our shell, pushing lee weapons away from our shield. rleen also added so dazzling ice on the floor, with extra layers of icicle shards floating outside the rock. When I asked rleen about those icy sticks, she just told it looked cool on this set-up.
"But how can we see them outside?" I asked rleen, while tapping the walls from the shell.
rleen tilted her head for a few seconds before giving a straight answer. "Can't you feel their presence? I realised every human has heat signatures. If I make this rock, I could feel their presence beyond this point. But it's too difficult for to control it, for now, Arthur. Sorry."
"We have twenty enemies inside this castle and. thousands of them outside. Since my blinding light ability did not travel that far, those knights outside the gates had no effect from my spell," Fenrir continued.
I did not even explain heat signatures, but this girl understood it. The fire covering the walls outside helped her concentrate on her surroundings. Although rleen could barely sense the enemies right now, it was enough to understand their movents.
"But how about ? How am I supposed to know their attacks?! That solves nothing!"
Despite the big brain move of rleen, I could do nothing to track our enemies. Those heat signatures only helped Fenrir, but not . And I doubt that heat signature ability was a tough concept to grasp, except if we were inside a cave.
"I have an idea!" rleen shouted once again, and clasped her hands.
My eyes widened as a hole erged from the hole, revealing the enemies on the other side. As soon as the mages and archers witnessed our position, they attacked us with their full force, intending to kill us. But before those attacks could even land on my skin, the wall closed and protected us.
The king ordered his awoken n to seize us after witnessing our shield. It was their first ti seeing such a bizarre way of protecting soone inside using a combination of spells.
