Chapter 43 - The Ark Of Assessing The Valkyrie (2/2)

Mavislin was undeterred at the man as she continued to block his assaults. She then had enough of this childish bantering. And decided to draw her bow, right in front of her opponent's face.

”If I'm this close, then I won't miss, right?” asked Mavislin, with a proud smile.

”Wait!” yelled Ysabeau as she tried to stop Mavislin.

The child instantly stopped her advance and dropped the human. She then looked at her mother with pleading eyes.

”But why?”

”Because you aren't allowed to. He's an ally to Minwoo, so we need him to build back the relationship between Mages and Humans,” explained Ysabeau.

She ruffled the girl's hair. Mavislin smiled as she hugged Ysabeau.

”And when did I say that killing humans is okay?' asked Ysabeau, with a voice as stern as a mother.

Mavislin pouted and looked down. Minwoo rushed towards Ashley to help him out.

”Let's try not to anger anyone else, eh?” asked Minwoo, to his old pal.

”So, there are Mages who are that powerful...”

Minwoo shot a questioning look to Ashley.

”The reports from the villagers complained that a child had killed the entire mob. I wouldn't believe them. That's why I challenged these kids. But, she did prove me wrong, that she is powerful in combat.”

”I've already warned you that she's not human! So why on earth did you go after her?!” shouted Minwoo, as he thought twice about asking Ashley for help.

”I could not accept that a child could kill without mercy,” replied Ashley, getting up.

”So why'd you start the fight then?' asked Minwoo, utterly confused.

”I wanted to see it for myself. The little girl who was powerful enough to kill the village with no reason at all.”

Raiyen scoffed as he swayed his head in dismay at the duo.

”Don't make me laugh.”
