The enemy was a bit distracted, as the voyeur who fell to the ground had only started to regain back his strength. They were wondering what could have caused that, and even made them fearful a bit!
Herald and Ether attacked!!
As quick and strong as possible, leaving them no room to dodge or practise any spell.
Herald unconsciously chose to attack the man, leaving the middle aged woman for Ether.
One punch each, the power within their fists had a dreadful aura arround it.
And it hit right where it should have.
The face!
However... It wasn't their faces!! Ofcourse it wasn't going to be this easy for the crusaders...
The witches were always protected by their servants in situations of danger, this is part of the contract both of them make.
It hit the faces of the strongest Marid under their command!
It still sent them away towards the burning walls.
Herald and Ether knew it, so they took their fighting stances ready for the battle, as for the witches they seperated themselves behind their servants.
"Marvin! What are you waiting for?
Marvin..."
The female witch turned sideways to find him trembling in his place, unable to talk or move.
His eyes only gazed at Herald...
It was at that moment she knew, they're in massive danger.
"I've never seen him in such state, Marvin is known for his predicitons of the future...He's the most experienced out of us. I have a very bad feeling about this." Said she to the other witch who looks to be the youngest of the olds.
"Yes I don't know what is going on with him...But Selene should be here at any moment now that they exposed themselves. There is no way we'll be defeated after that." He replied.
On the other hand, Endymeon heard the rockus made by the fight.
"Hm! Wait a moment.
I've been searching this whole time and they were right there?"
"That is because you're such a dumb person, why didn't you locate them using your powers?"
Selene answered him in his head.
"Don't scold me like that my queen.
I just thought it would make a beautiful scene to meet up casually." He said with closed eyes and a smily face.
The two Marids summoned this time look a little bit different than the ones they fought that time.
These ones look a bit less muscular, with clothes made out of snake and crocodile skin!
Pointed ears with big earings, two longer horns and a long dark hair.
Their skin was so red as if it was painted in blood.
Their faces were scary, but not ugly! However both of them had no pupils in their eyes. As if they were blind, making them look even more intimidating!
However, The punch they took has damaged their face pretty badly.
Ether and Herald initiates the attack once again, using all their speed it was hard for everyone to keep up with their movement.
The Marids engage in the combat and block every attack coming their way in a high speed.
As a spectator, she commented.
"They're very strong and fast, but the Marids seem to be able to handle this without problems"
"You're wrong Samara! Look closely...
With each attack they take you can see how tight and hard it blows on their body.
Soon enough their body will give up."He replies worriedly.
Samara looks and understands what her partner in crime is talking about.
"Then a physical battle wouldn't do, it is time for us to act.
All our knowledge and power isn't for nothing."
"True. Are you thinking of the same spell as I am thinking of?"
"Yes I am." She replies.
In the middle of the fight, Herald's mind was working.
'They're pretty tough, i haven't been able to land a good punch yet.
But I feel like I am stronger than my opponent this time, i need to think of a strategy!'
Herald stops attacking for a second, leaving himself open on purpose!
The Marid bites the bait and attacks with a powerful fist.
It was very fast, even when Herald had already thought about it happening he barely dodged it!
He leaned under and with as much power as possible, got up with a punch right in the middle of it.
It was so powerful that the sheer force of it has cut half of the Marid's arm completely!!
That wasn't all of it, to finish his attack he turned with a strong back kick right towards the stomach.
Sending him away to burn in fire!
Herald, is feeling pretty good about himself. It's clear from the look on his face!
'Nice, really nice!
You're not letting me down this time.
I am grateful."
But...The sound of Ether screaming in the back snapped him out of his pleasant moment.
"HERALD WATCH OUT!!!"
Herald. "Huh...What?"
He looks sideways and sees nothing, then on top...It was too late!!
A very disgusting liquid was thrown right down on him, and got spread automatically on all of his body!!
"What the...What the fuck is this???" Herald struggles to take it away but it wouldn't go.
"Hhahaahhahah! You fell for it. Once the spell is activated it is impossible to undone unless you were one of two people in this world. Which obviously you are not!". Said the witch from the back.
Herald remembers something similar to this, that time the low tier demon put a spell on the young man in the streets!
'Back then...He tried the same thing on me but it didn't work. He said something like...
I am immune!'
Herald stops struggling, and smiles...
Samara. "What are you smiling for you arrogant!
This is your end."
Herald starts laughing even harder.
"Haha...Hahahahha..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!
YOU FOOL!
Look at me! I am..."
Unable to complete his sentence...Herald feels a terrible weight put under him!
He crumbles on his knees!!
'What the....'
Now it was the time for Samara and her other companion to laugh.
"John Look!! Hahahahahahahaha this is really funny. He thought the spell wouldn't work on him!
For a second he fooled me Hhahahahahaha!!"
So his name is John.
"Hahahahaahahhahahahahahahahha I haven't laughed like this in such a long time.
This is exactly what I hate in people like you, you always think you're invincible, self righteous arrogance! You're the evil itself.
Now die!!"
Herald seems to be blocked from reacting, he's on all fours looking at the ground.
Ether. "Oh God! Yet again another dire moment...Why wasn't he immune this time!?
I had not thought about this because i assumed it wouldn't cause him danger.
I was wrong!"
And of all times, of all possible situations...
Endymeon, walks within the fire!
"Hmm...It is a pretty lively scene in here!" He calmly states, with a malicious smile on his face.
