Isekai Creations

Vol. 01 Chapter. 19: Defeat

I was always on guard every night, when morning came, I went to bed for a while. It continues like that until the attack occurs.

Looking at the borders of the country, I was astonished, they sent around hundreds of troops just to capture us. It's insane! Even though I know this is a tribute to my strong self, still, it's crazy. I had fought the undead inside a dungeon before but this time it was a human.

Straight away, when I saw them heading towards the parlors, instantly, I burned most of the troops with a sizable fireball. After my attack from the top of the tree, they were instantly split apart. They are trained for moments like this. They split up and found my place. Surely I did not just stand idly by, I jumped from tree to tree, then launched a second attack on the crowd.

The fireball, still the same as before, I threw a fairly large fireball towards the crowd. I had to hold back so that my magic energy would not run out quickly.

And so next after they were left a little, I came down carrying such a gripping fear.

"If you dare to take another step, I will kill you instantly!", said I who no longer held back.

It's strange, when I scare them, instead of fighting back with all my heart, they just give up and leave so easily.

It's weird, is it possible that they're afraid of me? Is it true like that?! Or maybe, from the beginning their plan was like that?!

They split the army so I could get into their trap. Once I get into the trap, that means....

They're in danger!

As quickly as possible I ran towards the other side of the parlour. Apparently, right. They came from the opposite direction.

"Wayra... It's a lie, isn't it?", there, I saw Wayra holding Rleas hostage who was trying to fight the troops, as well as leaving Lein lying helpless on the ground.

"Well, you just realized it?" he said with a mocking smile directed at me.

"Let go of Rleas!!", I immediately shouted to Wayra to free Rleas.

"Well...", said Rleas with teary eyes.

"Just relax, I just want to borrow him for a second, Zerlicia."

It's quaint... Why is it still the same?! Though he and I have been bound by the contract of master and slave. He should have been cursed if he snapped at my orders.

The tattoo is still there, I also still feel the contract bond I have with Wayra. But why?! Why didn't he get cursed when he defected from me?!

"You must be wondering, why didn't I get the curse, right, Zerlicia?", he answered the curiosity I wanted to know as clearly as possible.

"I'll answer. The bond I have with you, it's different, Zerlicia. You could say, a fake bond."

"What?!", he lied, right? But, if he's lying, then, what feelings bind me to him?

***

As he thought of all the worst possible events, Zerlicia immediately ran to attack Wayra without caring for Rleas who Wayra was hostage.

Attacking with all her heart, Zerlicia managed to take Rleas back. Now they can fight freely.

"I accept your challenge!!", in an excited tone, Wayra shot towards Zerlicia. Everything Wayra learned from Zerlicia, now he put it all out in his fight against Zerlicia.

Of course Zerlicia was not that stupid, having seen the same nightmare over and over again, Zerlicia would not be as reckless as before. Whatever happens, Zerlicia must awaken Wayra.

The sound of the sword squealing from the two of them sounded so loud. The metal friction from both of their swords also made sparks of blazing flames. The two of them fought so hard that one of them, had fallen helpless.

"Flame ball!"

"Water wall!"

"How can you?!"

Every magic attack that Zerlicia unleashed, was always fended off by Wayra's magic. Now, whatever Zerlicia puts out, it will be useful if Wayra runs out of magic energy. However, since Wayra had only used defense-type magic, the magic energy he used was few. Unlike the attack type though, the more magic energy that was given to the attack type magic, then the attack would become stronger.

Defense-type magic was also like that, if he did not multiply the magic energy he put into his magic, his defense would automatically lose to the magic of the attacker.

This game is actually just like a game of luck. If lucky, Zerlicia can win from Wayra in just a few seconds.

On the contrary, if he lost his focus, then, Zerlicia would be defeated by Wayra.

Zerlicia didn't want to kill Wayra. But in addition, Wayra tried to kill him. To Zerlicia, Wayra looked like she was being controlled yet, whether true or not, Zerlicia still had to figure out the truth!

"I'm grateful for the training you gave me. However, just get here, Zerlicia!"

"?!"

In front of his eyes, Rleas saw, his brother was pierced by the sword that Wayra was using. Zerlicia immediately fell to the ground in a condition that is now helpless.

"I'm glad to know you, Zerlicia Namsaka. Thanks to you, I got a talented little army."

"Wait—"

"I go first, Zerlicia Namsaka."

"Dammit!!!" Feeling hurt when his brother was stabbed in front of his eyes, without a second thought, Rleas jumped with a sword ready to slash at Wayra soon.

"Free."

However, Wayra quickly dodged and then hit the back of Rleas' neck until he was unconscious. Then, he went with the children of the orphanage and some caretakers of the orphanage where Zerlicia entrusted her sisters.

"Damn... I can't change it, can I?", trying to get up, Zerlicia can't do much but sit back and wait for death to pick her up.

"Then, all I have to do is, repeat it again!!", with a small dagger in her hand, Zerlicia then stabs her in the neck in hopes that, when she wakes up, she can repeat everything.
