Chapter 97 - 97: Dulled Senses (2/2)
”Get your head out of the clouds!”, Lambert yelled loudly causing the girl's eardrums to ring, but she finally snapped out of her stupor. Drawing her twin daggers she held her guard again any more arrows.
Lambert seeing that she was ready faced the archer that shot him, his gentle features gone replaced by a stony cold expression with chilling pale blue eyes, he started walking forward, but he had not taken a second step and an arrow came flying out from behind the nearby tree embedding itself into his left shoulder.
”Be careful!”, The thief shouted worriedly, but Lambert ignored her as he kept approaching the Archer.
Swish*
Swish*
Swish*
'Why won't he go down, why won't he stop”, The archer kept thinking
When Lambert was finally too close for the Archer's comfort, she jumped away from her hiding place. Yes, it was a woman, one clad in the iconic red and black uniform of the brotherhood except it was the shrouded version of the uniform.
Just as she showed herself preparing to retreat, Lambert burst into action as he started running towards her at great speed. The ȧssassin had not taken her fifth step when Lambert was in front of her.
Not having the time to think about how Lambert could move so fast she quickly pulled out her dagger and stabbed at Lambert, the blade struck his abdomen, but no thoughts of accomplishment came to her, the blade had only pieced a few centimeters before getting stuck.
”What!” The ȧssassin yelled as she tried to retread even going so far as to let go of her knife, but it was too late, A massive hand suddenly grabbed her head and slammed it against a nearby tree, evrything blacked out after that.
”Watch out”, the thief girl suddenly shouted ȧss a massive spider jumped upon Lamberts back piercing its fangs into his right shoulder.
”Vile Beast! Get Off!” Lambert shouted as he raised his right hand and grabbed the Frostbite spider.
”Shaaaaaaa”, The spider shrieked as Lambert's fingers pieced its carapace and with a pull, he lifted the spider over his shoulder and threw it to the ground in front of him. The sider struggled to get up of its back but it didn't have long before a massive foot slammed down upon the creature.
Splat*
”Damn, I really lost my touch, reliance upon the light element has dulled my other senses”, Lambert quietly contradicted himself as he turned his head towards the Assassin lying underneath the tree she had been viciously slammed against.
”Are...are you ok”, a quiet voice came from behind Lambert, turning around Lambert found the little thief girl looking worriedly at the arrow and knife still stuck in his body.
”No problem,” Lambert said as he casually pulled the arrows and knife from his body and threw it to the side causing the thief's eyes to pop.
Looking down at the two steel daggers she had tried to threaten him with, she couldn't help but smile wryly, ”Not even ebony could pierce him, what am I suppose to do with these, poke him to death?”
Looking back at the Ebony dagger that Lambert threw away as if it was trash, she smiled sneakily, ”Oh look an Ebony dagger without an owner, my lucky day”
