Chapter 79 - Vol1 Ch79: Sword (1/2)

“That cutlass…” Nala’s heart sank, she didn’t expect that strange weapon to be so sharp. Her knight’s sword was something granted by the king. Although it wasn’t exactly a precious treasure, it was still a fine article of craftsmanship. Normal knights families would even be able to use it as an heirloom.

And yet it was cleanly cut in half with a single slash, that really was a bit too much.

“Although I will not kill you because of the ancient covenant, please give up resistance” Smick’s voice was floating indistinctly in the air, making it so that no one knew where he would appear next to end your life: “I will hold you captive until the end of the war”

“Dream on” Nala narrowed her eyes and finally began to take him seriously. A faint pressure began to awaken on her body as her originally blue pupils turned into golden vertical pupils, her fair throat also moved ever so slightly, as if some sort of internal structure was changing.

Smick was surprised to find that, at that very moment, the rhythm of the surrounding environment had changed by itself to match and harmonize with Nala. Together with Nala’s [Respiratory Art], Smick even had the illusion that there was nowhere he could hide.

Daughter of Dragons.

Smick thought of Nala’s other title. Without hesitation, he directly moved in for the kill, his figure instantly vanished and appeared directly in front of Nala as his cutlass slashed directly at her.

Nala’s vertical pupil didn’t even blink as if she had turned a blind eye to the incoming cutlass. The air seemed to condense right at this moment to block Smick’s cutlass, and even Smick’s harmonization with the surrounding rhythm was forcefully cut off.

Nala swung the broken sword in her hand and left a clear mark on Smick’s chest, as if there was an invisible blade at the end of the broken sword.

Nala’s eyes slowly changed back to normal as the sound of armor clamoring could be heard outside. Obviously, Royas’ army had started to respond to their raid, she didn’t try to confirm Smick’s status and instead instinctively retreated.

Soon after Nala left, quite a few soldiers had surrounded this place. Smick slowly stood up, the wound on his chest had already formed a scab. After being infected by the Soul’s blood, his physique was no longer that of a human, so such wounds would heal in an instant.

As he glanced towards where Nala had escaped, his eyes became sullen. He raised his hand, looked down at his powerful palm and felt a deep sense of fear.

Ultimately, ‘he’ still chose to hold back.

Smick then covered his face and groaned wildly.

…

The elite team would soon return to Colomier. Their raid tonight could be considered to be relatively fruitful. They destroyed a granary, killed five commanding officers, some soldiers, and managed to cause a certain amount of chaos in the enemy ranks. Although at the same time, they also lost three to four people, all of whom were elites.

Of course, if you counted the Floating Corpse Insect that Rhys released as well, then this operation could be considered to be extremely successful.

But for Interkam, who has been passively taking a beating all this time, this was also another rare victory. In order to improve morale, they even held a small celebration for the soldiers. However, during the party, Nala who was the focus of them all, seemed a bit distracted.

My sword is a problem, if I encounter him next time, I would be at a weaponry disadvantage again
