57 Chapter 5: Unknown attack? (1/2)
”What's wrong!” Asked Serena
A loud bang resounded and something crashed into the wall in front of my ice sphere
”W-What's going on?” Asked Eleanor
A large howl resounded from outside of the ice sphere and pierced our ears
”Silentium” I muttered
It continued howling but we could no longer hear it thanks to selenium. I blocked out any sound waves coming from outside of the radius around us.
”John, what was that thing?” Asked Ariel
”So you saw it too..? I don't know... But it seems to be after you two” I said as i looked over at Eleanor and her butler who was on the ground
The butler seemed to be doing slightly better but was still in a bad condition.
I could still sense it out there, and it gave off the same feeling as the shadow wolves, only much stronger. I wasn't able to properly see it's figure.
The ice wall broke after two hits and the thing stopped moving.
”Why... What did Alfred do wrong... He was only trying to help me...” She muttered with tears on her face as she got up
The girl slowly made her way to the side of the sphere where my wall was broken.
”Where are you going?” I asked as I stopped her
”Im going to get rid of whatever is out there...” She replied
”And how are you going to do that?” Asked Serena
”I- I'll...” Muttered Eleanor
”Exactly, I'm sure you know you're being targetted, your butler sacrificed himself to help you, are you really just going to go outside under these conditions?” Asked Serena
”B-But...”
Serena looked over at me with a look that said she wanted to help her
”Don't worry, it's gone. Cancel” I said
I cancelled out the ice sphere and there was nothing outside
”Where is it??” Asked eleanor as she looked around
”It disappeared” I replied
”Does that mean we're safe..?” She asked
”Whatever summoned it is probably going to chase you again, so...” I replied
”I See... Well, thank you for helping us... but it's best if we part ways here...” She said as she tried pulling alfred to the carriage.
He had fainted after taking the antidote, and was barely moving despite her the look of struggle on her face as she tried to pull him
I let out a sigh as i picked him up for her and put him in the back of the carriage
”Um..?” She muttered
”Do you know how to ride a carriage?” I asked
”What? Um... no” She said
I went over to serena and Ariel and told them my idea then shortly after came back
Ariel looked over at me with a smile which was as if it was something she expected to happen and serena let out a sigh
”Alright, then how about you employ us? We'll drive and protect you until you reach the city you were heading to, and you can pay us later, how about that?” I asked
”Sure..? But you'll have to guide us” I asked
”O-Of Course! I can't ask you risk your lives to help us... You already saved us once... That's enough...” She replied
”Don't worry, something of that level won't be a threat to us”
Besides, we'll be able to bait him out, we're only 4 kids and in injured man after all.
”W-Who are you guys...” She asked
Us? We're just 3 kids? Should we make a party name? Hm... A good name...
