221 Arrows and Lightning (2/2)

”It's like seeing Matriarch in the flesh once again. Young Lady Anne looks just like her, just as gallant and beautiful.” After saying this, he broke into whimpers. Gil couldn't blame him, even he himself nearly mistaken his own daughter as his mother. Matriarch Victoria's reputation just have this effect.

Anne didn't hear any of this. Her focus was set on the incoming horde. A bowstring manifested, Anne's delicate fingers pulled it as far as she could. Her body curved backwards as she aim. Everyone nearby the walls felt a fearsome fluctuation condensing at the tip of her bow.

”Feather fall.” Anne whispered as she released the shot.

Her arrow flew like a shooting star. Once it reached the peak of it's arc, it transform into an enormous green feather. Then, the threads of the feather turned onto flashes of lights and homed into the skulls of beasts accurately. What's even more astonishing is that, no one from the humans side were injured by her attack. The arrows/threads will automatically evade any humans and will instead curve towards the beasts.

Everyone gaped at the spectacle. They all turned their heads towards the one who released the shot.

”Lady Anne!”

”A beautiful display, Lady Anne!”

”Impressive!”

”That's our Young Lady Anne!”

Members of the Western Star Clan who were present in the battlefield rose their chest up high and rained down fervent compliments to the young lady. Gil couldn't even keep himself from smiling ear to ear. Pride filled his chest as he witnessed the prowess of his daughter.

”Hoo…” Anne exhaled, she then looked at Mark and saw him slithering like a lightning serpent in the battlefield. An idea crossed her mind as she yelled: ”Hey, Mark!”

”What's up?” Mark replied after decapitating another beast.

”Follow up!” Anne yelled as she arched her body once more. In front of her, five jade spears materialized and shot towards the skies.

”Got you!” Mark could already sense what she wanted to happen. Mark threw his sword in the air and shifted to it. He then floated mid-air as a fearsome Red Lightning covered his body. He looked at the spear arrows and calculated for a bit. He raised his hand and five equally long Red Lightning Spear materialized.

As he brought his hand down, the lightning flew and merged with the arrows. The arrows then flew with an even more frightening speed as they slithered erratically in the air. Everyone watched as the arrows landed into the hulking beasts at the back. Anne and Mark's voice could be heard afterwards.

”Explode/Strike!”

*Boom!* *Crackle!*

The arrows exploded upon contact, if that wasn't enough to kill them, then the follow up Red Lightning Strike would definitely take them down.

”Holy shit!” Paul exclaimed, ”Those five beasts were at least Silver Knight in strength!”

”Psh. Show-offs.” Ellen snorted but there was a visible smile in her face.

”M-my god! Who are these kids?”

”No idea! But are they really just Knights? How come they're so strong?”

”Knights? Don't be fooled brother. They're not in the Knight Stage.”

”Heavens!”

”So formidable!”

”Better not provoke those two. I wouldn't want to be in the receiving end of that.”

Back at the walls, Anne gave Mark a thumbs-up as she readied another strike. The people behind her were numbed, they started wondering just how much energy these kids have.

Balmung and Luis' mouth's agape. The Prince couldn't help but to comment: ”This became their stage, isn't it?”

Luis nodded mechanically, even he felt the threat behind that. That combined attack was too fast and explosive that he had no was of surviving that.

”Come to think of it, these are the monsters that your son fostered, didn't he?”

”…”
