“Yah!!!” she shouted as she swung the sword to her opponent. She heard every slice of her sword to the flesh of her enemy. The blood that covered her sword made her braver. She needs to cut a flesh before she could be cut.
She scanned the place to find Lily, they were separated earlier because of the wave of the soldiers from other kingdom. She saw her being bitten by one of the soldier of Ferrera, she run into her and swing her sword at the back of the person. His blood covered the body of Lily. She was stunned and was about to cry.
“You’re fine now Lily, I will never leave your side.” She assessed Lily to stand up and went to a place where they can take a rest and hide.
It’s been 3 days since they came in this northern village and when they arrived they were attacked by the enemy’s soldier. They were exhausted with all the fights and they were only few in count. However, she’s still thankful that they were still alive.
She let Lily hide at the back of a big rock and defend the location with her bare hands.
She saw Captain Benedict dealing with the captain of the other side with his sword. He was really good at it. She also saw Gandella and other female soldiers fighting for their lives.
They were both bloody and exhausted but her exhaustion was driving her to become more courageous.
Her senses were heightened. She can sense every step of her opponent, that’s why she can dodge their attacks.
She has small cuts from the fight the other day but now it’s gone. She can feel power within her that wanted to immerse but she’s controlling it. She doesn’t know how to control it yet so she must be careful about every move she make.
She’s worried about Lily, she’s too tired to fight now, the days they spent for fighting drained her to the core. That is why she needs to protect her with all the cost.
She heard footsteps towards her, it’s not just from single person, there were five soldiers approaching her.
She positioned herself in a defensive stunt, she’s using two swords at the moment.
She sensed two on her left side, two at the right, and one in front. It’s dark but she can see their actions and locations but she cannot recognize their faces. It was like she’s seeing a negative image of the persons.
They were circling me. Nice strategy but it will not defeat me.
Without hesitation she dived towards the persons in her left and kill them silently.
My only advantage here is I can see their silhouette despite this darkness, I have to move first before they could swing a sword on me.
She went to the other two on her right and swung her sword to them. The only sound they can utter was there scream from the pain she inflicted to them.
Now the last one in front. Your next!
Before she could dive in front of the person, she was already pinned on the ground.
His fast. He’s making my body immobile because of his weight.
“What a feisty girl! I saw what you did to my soldiers. You have a nocturnal eyesight and you’re good on fighting. I’m amazed.” The guy said assessing her image despite the darkness of the night. His voice was hard and it possesses power. His ability to see in the dark was remarkable and he is super strong.
“You’re not a simple soldier, aren’t you?” she asked him.
“Oh, you can tell. Can you see what I’m wearing right now despite the blackness of the night?” he asked.
