Grand Foreigner (Chapters 1- 200)

Chapter 200

For Angrboda, fighting was... It was hard for her to say if she really liked fighting or not.

No, it's not like she disliked it either. Breaking her enemy's head on the battlefield, ripping out his spine and grinding his bones with her teeth, the squeal of pain from the minced meat that was still alive. Or even when the blood, boiling with adrenaline and pain flowing down her throat, was something she enjoyed. Especially the last moments of agony as the mutilated body that had once been alive tried to escape from her jaws, it was all exhilarating. Who could not enjoy such a thing?!

It was another common joy of life that Angrboda enjoyed, just as others enjoy a nice light breeze or the shining sun caressing their skin.

But on the other hand, Angrboda didn't consider such pleasure something special. She wasn't a battle-crazed maniac, she didn't get any special pleasure from torture and if she has to make a comparison, she probably saw fighting her opponent more like killing cockroaches, or hunting game, like hares.

Do you, after all, enjoy torturing, breaking the crust of good bread?

Of course, she could enjoy a battle like one appreciates food. All those mountain-crushing blows, blood bubbling excitement, and the split seconds that decided the fate of a battle, all of it were enthralling to her, as was perfectly normal for people to enjoy any activity. If something was interesting and of quality in itself, why not enjoy it?

But she did not seek such a thing separately, such entertainment was not for herself, valuable or more valuable simply by the fact of the battle.

No, Angrboda liked a lot of things other than combat, so she wasn't worried about Ainz going to the new Singularity without her.

She was a little annoyed that Ainz went to Singularity with Medb, that harlot, but Angrboda could only shrug it off. What can you do, yet another girl in Ainz' harem? At this point, Angrboda didn't even particularly care anymore. One more, or even one less, for Angrboda the situation would only change when the number of Ainz's concubines crossed the threshold of a few dozen and began to approach a hundred. In which case, Angrboda herself would need to start selecting suitable servants for herself.

Not that Angrboda needed to do that, not that she even particularly wanted to do it. But, as Ainz's official wife, it was certainly worth it for her to maintain a certain standing and reputation. After all, it would just be weird if Ainz had a hundred concubines and his wife didn't have a single lover on the side.

On the other hand, this was all a problem for the future, only faintly related to Angrboda's current situation. For the moment, she could afford to relax and, instead of contemplating the harem she was entitled to, do what she loved! That is taking care of her wonderful, adorable children!

"Jack, your tossing isn't bad, but you're avoiding direct confrontation too much! I realize you're not as big and tenacious as your mommy, but you can't act like a frightened kitten, you're the famous Jack the Ripper, the terror of the London streets, after all! Use it to your advantage – instead of trying to get them from behind, sometimes it pays to appear ahead of the target! While moving straight at them, you'll have a clear view of their throat, heart, and lungs, the biggest weaknesses, and it's easier to cut them off! Besides, you can use the additional pressure factor of approaching from the front on your opponent. Especially taking into consideration that he will forget about you anyway as soon as you step back, and you can repeat the tactic time and time again and after that without decreasing the effect! And besides, seeing you, a little girl, approach, many will doubt you as their target even for the barest of a moment and this may delay their hand or throw off their accuracy, securing your kill! This will not happen in case of attack from the back. Most likely the Servant will still feel you approaching, but they will not see you, which means you cannot use this factor to the fullest! That's right, sometimes the best killer tactic, especially given your ability – is not to attack from the back, but to attack head-on! Then, you can use your advantages and even choose the right one for the situation!" Oh children, truly, the joy of life!
