The Unwilling Protagonist

Chapter 32: The High Priestess Faces Justice

Honestly, sending an army to fight Justice sounded like a good idea. It sounded like a good idea. In reality though, they did expect that she would be troublesome, but not as troublesome as she really was.

Justice stood idly in the field, staring out at the army coming toward her. She could hear the dragons flying in the air, the siege engines of the dwarves, and the elves approaching her. But most concerning, she couldn't sense the traitor, Reighland...

The army stopped a great distance from her and the dragons hovered over them. Justice drew one of her swords in preparation. Even if she was blind, she could see the world around her better than most people could. Her "vision" was based on sound, which was only enhanced after the conversion. Magician offered to give Justice her sight back, but she refused, stating that she had gotten used to being blind and preferred to keep it that way. Not a day has passed where she hasn't regretted that decision...

Opening Theme:

Rathe and the other generals observed Justice from a far distance. She had her sword held in her hand and stood motionless.

"Is that blind woman what's stopping us?" Karl nearly laughed, "It's just one woman, how hard can it be to kill her?"

Y/N saw Justice through the spyglass alongside the generals.

"Her statistics are slightly better than Reighland's." Geralt noted.

"That 'woman' is an Arcana member..." Reighland answered Karl's question, "It's going to be very hard to kill her..."

"Can you signal the riders to attack?" Rathe asked Iradin.

Iradin looked up at the riders and made a gesture with his hand. The leader of the riders repeated the gesture to the others.

The air moved. Justice sensed the dragon flying towards her. In response, she drew her other sword and launched a sharp gust of wind at it with her wind magic. The gust sliced through the flames and hit the dragon, causing it to jolt in the air and land on the ground. It was then that Justice made her move. She did a mad dash towards the army with both swords drawn. As she got closer, she could sense Reighland now. That only motivated her to move faster toward the army.

The dwarves formed a wall of shields at the front to prepare for Justice's charge. The orcs behind them readied their weapons, and the elves prepared their bows to attack Justice from range.

"Archers, fire!" Iradin commanded.

Justice sensed the arrows flying towards her. Normal arrows wouldn't hurt her, but elven arrows were not normal. In response, she launched another gust of wind in front of her, disrupting the arrows' flight path. The dwarves and orcs stumbled and buckled when the gust hit them but they held fast.

"Ready!" the dwarven vanguard shouted. The other dwarves shouted in acknowledgment. They braced themselves for Justice's charge to impact, but to their surprise, she jumped over them and into the crowd of orcs waiting for her. She flew into the air like a sharp, spinning ball and caused chaos upon landing on one orc and shredding it. She dodged a strike from behind her and cut the orc's arm off before cleaving it in half. Another tried to swing at her head, but she ducked under it and started spinning like a top, slicing the orc as she stood back up. The orcs charged her with all their strength, but Justice, favoring tactics and strategy over brutality, expertly dodged or countered their strikes with little effort. Her ludicrous speed allowed her to easily dispatch any foe that she got near. It wasn't long until she reached the elves in the rear.
