Pseudo-Villaines

Attacks In The Forest (2)

Jeanne's breath was piqued. And his two best friends too. So far, the three had managed to kill 15 monsters along with the other knights. But unfortunately, their lives were also lost because the enemy was too strong.

"You can still fight, right?"

Hanna and Karina nodded. They can continue this fight. However, the three were also aware. Soon they will reach their limit.

"Well, let's finish the rest and get out of this godforsaken forest!"

Hanna gritted her teeth and tightly grasped both of her swords. There are only three of them left. Syzmon is strong enough but I don't know where he is now. They don't have to think about it.

For the umpteenth time, light shot out from Hanna's body. Their tactics are simple. Blinded the monsters for a while then Hanna, Karina, and Jeanne would attack them at the same time.

Of course except for Hanna, her two best friends also experience the effects of temporary blindness. They are trained to fight with their eyes closed.

The remaining monsters were roaring. Karina swiftly cast her spell. A magic circle appeared above the monster that was the target and emitted lightning striking the monster.

Clearly his lightning strength was indeed not enough to kill. But, at least that lightning still had a strong damage to its target, making it temporarily frozen.

Karina used that gap to stab her enemy's body. He then poured lightning into the monster in large numbers. Within ten seconds, the monster's body exploded. His blood and stomach were scattered everywhere.

Jeanne is not left behind either. He formed a huge fireball on top of the magic circle that appeared in his head. He invested a lot of mana to make that fireball.

Without hesitation, he shot the fireball towards the two monsters he was after. The fireball then split into two and hit one pig-headed creature and one dog-headed creature. Just like the fate of his comrades, they were killed with charred bodies.

Jeanne and Karina see Hanna struggling against two monsters at once. Jeanne and Karina instantly help Hanna to finish off the last two monsters.

As soon as the rest was up, the three fell to their knees in exhaustion. You could say Jeanne is the most tired because she kills the most monsters and uses her mana.

"Bright.... Huh.... At last... Finished too!! Let's get out of this godforsaken place! We have to tell the headquarters about what we've encountered!"

Jeanne and Hanna nodded at Karina's proposal. Even though their energy was exhausted, walking out of the forest was not a difficult thing.

But things didn't end as smoothly as they imagined. Just as they wanted to hurry to leave, the trees behind them started flying towards them.

Jeanne, Hanna, and Karina had to find shelter so as not to get hit by the trees. The damage would be huge if they were hit.

Unresolved the problem they were having, an extremely loud roar sounded from a distance! The three of them were aware that they were still around and from the sound of their voices, their numbers were overwhelming!

"RUN!!"

only run what they can do. No matter even if trees, rocks, and earth were flying towards them, the three of them still ran away! For now, that was the only way they could survive.

Their escape was so smooth. Noticing his steps at all, they all fell down many times as they were caught by the protruding roots to the surface.

Meanwhile, the monster that they did not know of was in constant pursuit. Hanna and Karina help the fallen Jeanne to wake up and continue their escape.

But halfway through, Jeanne stopped. This made both of his friends confused and panicked. With a bitter expression on her face, she pushed her two friends away.

"Go away..... Let me buy you guys some time."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, JEANNE! HURRY RUN! WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!"

Karina yells. Even so, Jeanne shouted back. Both surprised. It was the first time they had seen a very soft and cold Jeanne yelling.

Karina wants to retaliate. But Hanna grabbed his shoulder and shook her head. It's very painful for Hanna. She doesn't care if one of her family dies but if Jeanne does, her heart will hurt.

However this is the stitched up option they have to take. There's no time. Jeanne understood the consequences. To be honest, he wasn't angry.

"Go, Karina. Your sister's waiting at home, right? Say hello to him."

Jeanne smiled. He bit his lower lip hard until it bled. Eyes glazed. He's not a hero, he wants to live on. But this is the choice he made.

Karina and Hanna have run. Jeanne could see their tears falling to the ground.

Finally, when his best friend disappeared from his sight, one monster with a height of 10 meters had arrived nearby. Their distance from each other was no more than 500 meters.

Jeanne was stunned to see a strange creature in front of her. Monster with a height of 10 meters with silver skin color. The human body and head have only one eye. His fangs were extremely sharp and the ile was always flowing from his mouth.

He was carrying an ax that was half the size of his body. His body gave off an extremely fierce aura of hatred, as if it was ready to swallow and destroy whatever was in front of him.

Jeanne gritted her teeth. He poured all his mana into the sword he was holding and drained [Earth energy] throughout his body.

Jeanne forces herself to absorb the energy that exists in nature into her, without distilling it into mana. This is a very dangerous technique. Man must not use [Earth energy] raw or his body will be overwhelmed.

But Jeanne wants to give it her all now. He wanted to exert all his remaining strength!

With a speed that the eyes could not follow, Jeanne darted towards the monster. He thrust his burning sword into the monster's body. With a wide grin, the one-eyed monster held off Jeanne's sword attack with its axe-eye.

But unlike what the monster thought, the collision between the blade of the human sword and its axe caused it to bounce far back.

Jeanne didn't stop. He continued to swing his sword at the monster's body. Although her skin was much harder than it was, Jeanne's steel did not stop. He did feel his hands numb, but he still tried to cut the monster's body with all his might.

CRASHHHH!!

Jeanne finally succeeded. He split the monster's body from head to stomach. Although the one-headed freak did put up a really great fight, Jeanne somehow managed to handle it.

But that was his last strength. Jeanne finally fell to the ground. His mouth spewed a lot of blood. His heart was very painful and his lungs were burning. His sight began to blur.

When the other monsters arrived, Jeanne smiled bitterly, crying. He doesn't want to die! He wants to live! He wanted to throw his body into the arms of his mother! And..... He wants to meet his sister again!

At that moment, the space around him shook. A very powerful set of energies was centered in front of him. Space is distorted. After that, a woman who was very similar to him, albeit in a more mature version, appeared before him.

The woman immediately propped up Jeanne's body that was about to fall to the ground and stroked her hair.

"Relax, my mom is here now. Leave everything to Mama, okay?"

Svetlana has arrived! He used half his strength to come to Jeanne's place. Crying exhausted, Jeanne finally fell asleep.

"Whoever dares to hurt my son must die!"

Again, the fight continues.
