71 Chapter 19: Assassin attack (1/2)
”You two, stay here with Eleanor,” I said
”Huh? What are you talking about? We're coming with you.” Said Serena
”Serena's right john, You won't be able to take them all alone” Said Ariel
”Haha, i wouldn't dare, Alfreds coming with me.”
”You want the guy who was recently poisoned and only just woke up to help you?” Asked Serena
The assassins or whatever they were, slowly approached the carriage
”Look, Their objective is eleanor, If she's near you two, she'll be fine, you can also help me from the inside of the carriage”
After i said that, i got off the carriage, Alfred who heard our conversation, put faith in our abilities on got off with me.
”Young man...” Muttered Alfred
”Yes?” I asked
”I cannot thank you enough... Be careful”
”of course” I replied with a smile
After that, we swapped sides, he went to the back of the carriage and i went to the front. He'll be able to protect eleanor and will be closer to her that way.
”EVERYONE THERE'S AN ASSASSIN! STAY AWAY AND CALL FOR HELP!” I shouted out
We're in the middle of the road, even it's night, there are still many people around
”Did that boy just say assassin?”
”Those guys in cloaks, Aren't they from the dark guild?”
”Are there any adventures nearby!?”
Looks like it worked, random people were putting as they watched, some even called for help
One of the 5 guys who saw this said began to chant something and had his staff stretched out towards the spectators
The people who were watching noticed this and ran away, but at the very least it caused enough of a commotion, we just need to hold these guys off until help arrives
The man stopped chanting, Looks like it was just a bluff.
”Shadow Lance”
Shadow lances were formed and propelled straight at the people who hadn't left
”!?”
Right before it hit them an ice wall was formed in the path the ice lance was heading
It slowed down the lance but wasn't able to completely stop it. The lance penetrated through the wall
The man hastily looked around to see who formed the Ice wall, but i acted like i was surprised to see it
The people took the opportunity the ice wall was formed to run away.
”Oi, instead of looking for the one who did that, why don't we have a fight?” I asked
The men who surrounded the carriage instantly rushed at us, There were 2 on me and 2 on Alfred. While the magician just watched. Their faces were covered by the cloaks and i couldn't see them. Not that it mattered.
Alfred should be fine with Serena and Eleanor there but...
As i thought that, the two who were on me, simultaneously lept at me with daggers in hand.
Good, i'm stronger and faster... Beating them shouldn't be a problem...
As i thought that, the second assassin who i thought was going for me, went straight past me
”What?!” I unintentionally let out
Damn it, he's going straight for them, I don't have a choice.
Right before he reached the horses, I formed an Ice wall in front of him
”oh goddess of ice, form an ice wall and make this seem like a chant” I whispered
The assassin who had ignored me, stopped and turned around
Did i fool him? I whispered a few words and made them sound like a chant, was it believable..?
