Chapter 37 - Bloodshed (2/2)
Dodging and evading the blows, Nisha couldn’t quite bring herself to take one ht ofup, and a destructive edge ended up breaking through her defenses, digging a long bloody line on her collarbone
Unable to bear it any longer, the former beast let her instinct take over
“Dance for me, dance War Flame!”
Without knohy, the incantation unchained the energy stored in her bracelets, winged symbols streamed fro on the broad side of the blade
For a second, the co in awe at thein front of their eyes, a beautiful and incredible sight to behold
When her own leaking blood stained the ground, the frozen scene shattered A lint flared in the soldier’s eyes, he had spilled the first blood He raised his sword into a decisive strike, ready to cleave the girl in half
Nisha blankly stared at her blade, s directed Nisha’s fire aura and ht
Clashi+ng her left [Taurith Sword] against the incoawked at their weapon stupidly as the dragon’s blade crushed theits course in the soldier’s chest
Dropping to the ground, he screa to prevent his life essence fro
His hysteria attracted the attention of the three last soldiers, the s the air
The two dead bodies of their coirl’s feet, Nisha appeared as a terrifying monster, a hidden delowing sword
Lydia took this chance to dispose of her foe as well, her second rank in es and from constant combat with the forainst soer, it had obviously paid off as she was able to dispatch the third fighter
Most of the soldiers had been between the second and third rank, and although the situation had turned around because the girls had slaughtered their way to the greater number, Annabelle was in a sorry condition, her body was decorated with various shallow cuts and wounds dripping blood, she couldn’t defend against two persons at the same time
Seeing her sister injured enraged Nisha, driving her nearly insane, consu forces
I hate to hurt without a personal grievance, but I will never allow you to take someone precious for me from me Even if I have to wreck the whole world, this time I will protect everyone You attacked my sister, be prepared to die
Feeling an o soldiers looked at the sirl in fear, the one they had deeuise that had already reaped several lives see
Approaching at a rapid pace, she borrowed the battle tactic of the enemy she had just defeated; at a short distance from the soldiers who had yet to decide whether they wanted to escape or not, Nisha leapt into the air, lifting both of her [Taurith Short Swords] above her head, to finally swing the
Co the shi+ny curse, both of her blades bit the soldier on the left, freeing Annabelle fro the last survivor, his friend was in two halves and he had been unable to do anything to prevent it
The exciteirl, she had lost nored the lastlook, who had dropped his sword and shi+eld to crawl, throwing sand in her direction, begging for his pitiful life
“Spare me, please I didn’t want to do this, I’m only a soldier Don’t kill me, please, please, please …”
Seeing so, returned a thread of sanity to Nisha, and she hesitated; he had lost his will to fight, he wouldn’t try to hurt them anymore
As she was about to put her sword down and reach out a hand to hier out of its clothes and threw it at her Whether he had ai she kneas that her sas buried in a lifeless body, penetrating through his eye and pinning hier had struck in her shoulder, she had barely avoided it
Coated in her blood and that of butchered eneust at the bitter taste of iron blood in her mouth, about to throw up
“Are you alright? Nisha, please, I need your help, I can’t stop the blood alone, Anna needs you”
Cautiously touching her friend’s back to wake her up fro world, Lydia looked at her, worry in her eyes
Nisha understood that her display of violence and death htened herself, she was still shaking fro in so slowly extinguished…
The ht her back to reality, picking up her blades the dragon girl hurried over to her dear sibling leaning next to the carriage, pale and unconscious Anna had been able to stay awake by riding the adrenaline rush, but the blood loss won over her will as soon as she felt safe
Please don’t die Anna, you can’t, I did my best to save you!
Thinking of her oldest sister dying filled Nisha with dread, sending cold sweat down her spine; if Annabelle died because she had been too absorbed inenemies it would haunt her forever
Frantically gathering darkthe nuer and the wound on her collarbone, yet she didn’t care
Urging the black haze to condense in a healing spell, she pressed her darkened hands on the nu that it work as efficiently as in her memories
Eating away the wounds, thethe injuries, see them; and Nisha was finally able to relax and exhale the breath she had been holding all that time
Dedicating her whole attention to her patient, she didn’t even notice the sy to her cri at the same time simple blood-red jewels to the previously plain artifact
Only when Annabelle drifted peacefully asleep, Nisha spent fro so much mana, did she realize that Lydia had re by the blood on her blade and the gri sure that their enemies were truly dead Neither of them felt a desire to talk, they simply nodded at each other and placed their sister on the cart together
“Open the gate, innkeeper! The soldiers are gone!”
During the fight, the old owner had slipped inside the yard behind the gate, yet Nisha was still able to perceive his presence, his stench do the heavy scent of blood and death, the fear was unmistakably his
“I will give you three seconds to open the gate, I will tear it down if I must”
Tired and losing patience, the dragon was about to resort to violence when the wooden doors parted fro
Recognizing the uniforround, the cowardly ht
“Of course, you are ates? Please come in, don’t destroy my doors!”
Rather subservient now that he knew their true strength, the innkeeper wore the ed the entrance, allowing the behind them only a red field of corpses
