Chapter 10: The Fish Turned Out To Be A Shark (1/2)

”Hmph!”

Aleshia snorted and ignored them. She stood there silently while waiting for them to continue their attack. They were now down to four people. They still had the confidence to win but they saw no opening as she stood there.

Instead of standing separate from each other like before. They all grouped together.

”Attack!”

Julian shouted and all of his squadmates followed him to attack. They didn't focus on her feet anymore. The feeling she gave off doesn't sit well with them. They could only attack her. If she dies, they would have to make do with a cold corpse. Was what was on their heads.

Aleshia saw them attacking her together and her face turned more serious. She picked up the sword beside the man she knocked out and took a stance with it. She waited for them to arrive before parrying one sword swing.

She swung back with one of her own and managed to slash the man's wrist. He pulled back his hand in panic and fell down to the floor. He looked at his bleeding wrist in fear.

”My wrist!”

The man held his open wound with his other hand to try and stop the bleeding. Julian and the others stopped in their tracks. They were shocked.

She could actually wield a sword! And it was with great familiarity that even surpasses them who have undergone professional training from the kingdom.

”We have to kill her!”

Julian had no more chances left. If they lost more men on their side then they would most likely get killed by her. She was very strong. He knew how to respect the strong and going in for the kill would be the utmost respect that you could give.

No hesitation had to be made. If one of them hesitated just to have a chance with tasting her body then it would be the end of them.

”Too late!”

Instead of waiting for them to attack this time, Aleshia sprinted towards a man. He was the one farthest away from the others right now. He was beside the man whose wrist just got slit.

Julian and the other guy ran towards the man when they saw Aleshia running at full speed. Their hearts were beating wildly. If they couldn't fight her with him then she could easily take him down.

Aleshia arrived in front of the man first. Her face was cold as ice. She had done this so many times that it was very familiar to her. While still holding the sword she picked up on the ground, Aleshia thrust it towards the man's heart.

The man tried to parry her sword attack but his reaction was too slow. As someone who never had much war experience. Combat was one of his weaknesses. His heart was penetrated and his eyes were opened wide in shock. He only wanted to have fun, but it all turned into a disaster.

”Eric!”

Julian and the guy beside him shouted in panic. They swung their swords together at Aleshia. This time they were giving it their 120%. The rush of the adrenaline in their bodies made their movements much faster.
