SARAH CAMPBELL POV:
Thanks to the priest who was surprisingly fast for someone who had his eyes closed while helping us change, we have managed to dress up quickly. I never noticed those armors were so hard to put on. You need to fasten a lot of parts and then unfasten others when it is too tight then the armpits start hurting and you have…Urgh, I hope I won’t have to do this every time.
We leave the changing room and most of the people we left haven’t changed. Eleonor is nowhere to be seen as well. The headpriest is still standing at the same place and among the boys, only five people have dressed up.
“Are you done?”
“Yes, we are.” She points before her with her finger and I walk there with Tiffanie, Ian and the others also come and when we are all assembled, she crosses her hands and something start shining on her forehead, a balance appears on it, shining with a bright yellow.
“Wow.” Back in our world, we would definitively
What is she doing here? Right when I arrived on the battlefield, the first thing I noticed was Sarah sitting on the ground among the monsters controlled by the demons. Why would she launch herself into the arms of death like this even though she has never seen blood before?“That’s why I said you are stupid.”It’s a good thing that I have already amplified all the soldiers who were coming with me while we were on the way. We were able to make it faster than expected.I pass by a group of people wearing golden armors like her. Is this what they give to the heroes? Well, it looks sturdy enough so I guess it is okay.“You guys go to the side as support as well.”“Yes, sir!” Don’t call me sir.I jump from my horse and cut through the monster trying to kill her. With that, we can say that we are even right?***“No way.”“What were you trying to accomplis
Quite some time has passed since I have joined the battlefield. I can’t say I am really tired since he was making me fight for hours without end, surely knowing that this was the kind of thing I would face. But I have to admit that it is getting irritating.“Hey!! Come back here!”I fall directly on the ogre who raises its arm to grab me. I am not a ball, though. I slice its finger off and stomp on its head before killing it by stabbing it through. When I place my feet on the ground again, I am yanked backward and then she restarts running around me.“What is your problem, seriously?!”With her, the knights that were fighting until now falls back and the uncountable arrows cover them. We pass through three lines of soldiers that are heading for the place we were fighting and I see the guys I came with advancing as well. I wonder how long does the effects of Amplify last. I haven’t tried to monitor it until now. I should surely
“Just fucking die, goddammit.”No matter how many I kill, the others just come right afteIt is like thye just respawn somewhere. The forest from which they are coming from cannot even be seen anymore. They have levelled up the place with the cyclops.“Haaoo!!” And those fucking ogres are as relentless as ever. Their hollow like black skin turns red whenever they come near me and they instantly go into rage mode as if it was prescribed by a pharmacist. Do they not understand it is not a matter of strength.I dodge a gargoyle’s diving. Its claw are as long as a knife. It must hurt to be touched by that. I strike its throat as it turns to stab me with its tail. Every single thing, every single hour of training he had me go through is helping right now. Did you really know I was going to be here? Maybe you are even watching from somewhere right now? You were never one to speak a lot but you were alway
I run past the archers and rapidly join the knights and right as I enter the fray, I recognize one of the knights who is struggling with a goblin. I think it’s the guy I knock out once. Or maybe it is someone else. Anyway, I help him then I go to an ogre who is wasting time trying to kill two knights at the same time.“You are in the way.” I hook its eye and pull it out.“Haaooo!!” While it screams, trying to hold its eye, I cut its knees and make it fall then I simply pierce through its throat and that’s one down. It rapibly turns to smoke and the next moment, I hear the sound of thunder striking ahead. Was it that strong when we fought? No, surely, her skill got better like mine.***I can’t say how much time has pass now but one thing is certain.“Haoo!!”“Gna-”The number of minsters coming has decreased. It isn’t to the point one would say we can win this but at
I guess they have somehow received their orders. Their only problem is that… “Haoo-” “Haoo-” Sarah doesn’t seem to have a shortage of magic. She is now throwing her lightning spear with great precision; I am even starting to be jealous. You know what , now that it has come to this, it is time for me to see their boss as well. The guy has been standing there like he owns the world for the past while. “Sir hero! Behind you!” “Haoo!!” “I am going.” I run forward without caring for the ogre that was trying to do whatever from behind. To my surprise, none of the monsters are trying hard to stop me. Once I get past them, I can’t hear them following me. It’s like their orders is just to move forward. Well, it is a good thing for me so… “Giii-” Some goblins before me get stricken by lightning. This girl is a real busybody. Still, it is a hurdle to evade all those monsters while running up the hill. If I was as strong as
I sheathe my sword and take the stance of the dance of fire. I immediately start feeling hot all over as I do. A whirlwind engulfs me and the next moment, flames appear all around. “Oh…You seem to have more than one skill. Interesting.” “You haven’t seen even half of it.” The commander raises his sword and as he brings it down, I pounce on him and punch as well. The real problem I will certainly face is to align the different stances and variations of the dance of fire. Because if I am right, as soon as I will fail even one of those, the effects will stop and I will have to start all over. Our attacks collide and the cold from his aura freezes the whole area. The flames that are covering me don’t seem to be efficient enough to protect me as I can feel it as well. “But it will enough!” I immediately use the second stance and my kick almost reaches his face. He evades it at the last moment with a slight movement of the head. The third st
“Huff…Huff…” So this is the current extend of what I can do then. “I am impressed. You not only survive but you even managed to wound me like no other.” At the end of it, my attack manages to drill a hole through his ice and pierce his demonized completely. It didn’t cut his arm though so it is my loss. On my side, my arms are encased in ice. I can feel them anymore and everything around me is cold. I can feel the sting of this cold everywhere in my body. Still, it is frustrating. To know that I am so close to the top of that hill and I have to stop now. “I wonder what I was lacking.” “Lacking? Do you think you were lacking something?” The commander slices his ice wall and creates a path to me. Now that I think about it, it seems I was able to split the wall in two. I would like to say that I can take pride in this before I die but I can’t. The commander then stands before me and the cold is becoming hard to stand. I would like
I try to free himself from his grapple but Telestal holds me with even more strength and accelerates again. We enter the city through a gate and right after we do, a sort of light wall appears before my eyes. Telestal then falls and me with him. “Teles!!” Emilia and other people start rushing to him, pushing me to the side brutally. My arms still hurt like hell so I can’t even move them. *** “Teles! Stay with us!! Teles!!” Emilia has been shaking him for the past minute. Doesn’t she know that this makes him lose more blood? Well, I can’t speak because I discovered this by myself as well after getting wounded once. Wait, when was it? It must have been around the tim… “Will!” Sarah ignores the numerous people that are gathered around Telestal and runs to me. When she arrives, I can see how pale her face is. This… He said something about lack of magic once. I think this is how you are supposed to look when it happens. Whic
