Chapter 146 - Ash vs Khamishah (1/2)
_________________________________________________
[Flashback to Kiserre]
[Khamishah point of view]
”The orphanage is under attack!” [Lisa]
”Are you serious!” [Crow]
”I am, though we manage to ward them off” [Estel adventure]
”You didn't tell him yet?” [Alaric]
”No” [Estel adventure]
”I see now. Mrs Saga, if you mind” [Crow]
”Sure, what is it?” [Khamishah]
”He might get furious after hearing the news, so can you calm him down?” [Crow]
”I will” [Khamishah]
”Thank you, and I'll gather the other so that they could help calm him down should he run amok” [Crow]
”Please do so” [Lisa]
And after getting everyone involves to the guild, Queen Rinz gave me her stamp, just in case Ash manages to slip into Estel. That way, I can pursuit him legally under the order of the queen. Plus, this should ease me in protecting Ash in any legal way possible
(There he is!) [Khamishah]
”You're late” [Khamishah]
”Sorry, these two are hungry” [Ash]
Now for Crow to tell him the truth
”What's wrong with all of you!” [Ash]
He becomes restless, and he get himself ready, even taking back the twin into his arm
”Ash, listen here, the orphanage, is attacked by...” [Crow]
”ASH STOP!” [Naoto]
”Quickly follow him!” [Saint Louis]
”Your highness!” [Khamishah]
”Go after him!” [Queen Rinz]
”I shall go as well!” [Alaric]
And thus, the two of us chase after him. He's fast! He must have combined multiple spell to increase his speed.
”Alaric! Catch up to us!” [Khamishah]
”Right!” [Alaric]
There's no time to waste, I have to sprint as fast as I can as well
.
.
.
He's not even resting! What's with his vigor! Even Alaric and I have shown sign of fatigue as we cross the second half of the open field dungeon. At least you should think of the twin with you.
(No doubt, not only magic to boost his speed, but also to restore his vigor and stamina as well. As expected of someone that can use all kind of magic) [Khamishah]
.

(There's the entrance to Estel) [Khamishah]
”Huh, behemoth slayer!” [Guard A]
”Wait, don't rush!” [Guard B]
he simply passed through them, and as for me
”Sorry, but I promise I'll come later!” [Khamishah]
Alaric simply used his shadow dive to sneak inside of my shadow. He should have done that from the start
I don't know where the orphanage is, so with Alaric guidance through telepathy as well as my scan magic to detect Ash's mana signature, we arrive at a small mansion, there
”Claude, please take care of Lara and Nara, I'll go to the castle!” [Ash]
”Wait minute, Ash!” [Ghost butler]
”Ash stop!” [Khamishah]
I try to stop him, but he simply use short range teleportation to pass through me easily. I should have expected that coming! Alaric tries to bind his shadow but it's prove pointless as Ash is simply too fast for Alaric to catch up.
”Let's go to the castle!” [Alaric]
”Right!” [Khamishah]
As we dash through the sea of people, I can see that Ash being held by the castle guard, before he decided to use his ice missile shark to breakthrough the gate
(That damned fool!) [Khamishah]
He's so finish!
Look, isn't that the knight captain of Estel, but he simply ignored him and called him a rude captain
And then
Inside the castle, a blue hair girl shouted his name, but he just ignored her, leaving the little girl dejected. He keeps on slamming and pounding the preparators into the ground while curing them with his cure magic. My words fall into his deaf ear before I decided
”You brought this for yourself then!” [Khamishah]
To think that he decided to fight with me simply because he can't think straight. Damned fool he is! I don't know how to back him up any longer now, so the best I can do is to punch some common sense back into him and hope for the best
~Window shattering~
”By my title as the saga, I swear to stop him, so please, give me some time” [Khamishah]
As I leap into the castle field, I prepare myself for battle

[Khamishah point of view]
”Tchh!” [Ash]
He's pissed off. Well, we are the same then. I never see a traveler with such attitude to a royal and noble before. Guess life really is full of surprise
”Take this!” [Ash]
He throws his scythe towards me, before disappearing
”Same trick won't work twice on me!” [Khamishah]
He must have decided to use the scythe as a distraction before using teleportation back into the chamber, but
(I'm naive!) [Khamishah]
I thought it was a distraction, but he simply teleported right into my back, preparing a thunder spell and
”Ugghh!” [Khamishah]
A direct him. Damned that hurts, and not to mention
”Earth trap! Flora trap!” [Ash]
He's trying to trap me! Like I would let that happen!
~Smash~
A simple earth structure and few trees won't hold me down, and
”Take this!” [Khamishah]
”Attack down! Defense up! Deceleration!” [Ash]
