Obi looked her dead in the eyes, and saw she wasn't even thinking of this as a joke.
"I see",
He replied and turned around I took five steps away from her, But then stopped as if he had realize something.
"Oh yeah that might work, in our favor to be honest".
Ulia looked at the back of his balded head wondering what is he getting at,
"Tell me if I'm getting this right, Lieg's in there right now working out a deal for our protection".
"Yup That sounds about right" Ulia replied,
"Even though you don't care whether we live or die, and if it was up to him you guys would personally do the deed?",
Ulia pause after hearding this.
"… For now yes, if that whats you want to hear",
Obi then "And you guys really are demons",
Ulia added "Well we certainly aren't humans".
"So even though you saved us, we can't ask the church for help because they might be involved in this takeover?. The same church that has been keeping us alive on their land for decades".
(Where is he going with this) Ulia thought then she said,
"They literally came here to kill the chief and to take his people",
"And wasn't that the Beretta kingdoms Army, an enemy of the church where'd you get the link of them working together I don't know, But you want us to trust your word and follow you".
Ulia looked at him disappointed,
"Yea… you do know that the Beretta kingdom is mostly does contracted takeovers on land, they'll take any job that involves fighting. And as you said this is Holy Land so are you stupid enough to think that the holy land is not involved, sounds about right?".
Then clenching his fist after hearing Ulia, Obi made a rapid turn,
"Patthar kee lahar".
(Sfx Slam)
Hitting the ground causing cussing the shockwave of large stones to be thrown from ground in Ulia Direction, lifting back up his hands.
(Sfx Crack x3)
Sending a wave of the smaller debris at her.
"And what if we told you were'nt needed and that we are strong enough to defend yourself. Would you laugh at our convention and call us foolish, you may have saved us from an invasion today but the church as saved us from poverty and starvation numerous times more. I would rather trust them, and how could I trust someone that can't even decide for themselves".
"I said as a future Holy Knight, no as a human, I will not allow myself to be saved by an heretic of any kind" Obi announce this without even looking up from his attack.
"Oh man… now I got dirt all over my legs" said Ulia,
As he looks up to noticed that she was still standing right where she was before as none of the debris had even reached her the wave splitting in two upon reaching her. Obi looked at her wondering what had just happened, when he heard behind him.
"She kick it, the earthwave before it could reach her" one of Obi followers shouted.
"Well that explains the dirt all over your left leg, It also prove it wasnt luck that you manage to knock out me and my friends out before you are strong".
One of his closest friends Hoku, noticing that Obi might have trouble in this fight Rofu whisper to the rest of his friends.
"Hoku, Koki, Rito, Faki, Elika he's the strongest one out of all of us, in our Brotherhood we can't allow a heretic to overpower him".
All the young blacksmith in the crowd was slowing really trying to make their way to the front to supports Obi then,
(Sfx Halted)
One of the chief's elder friend stop them with his little walking stick.
"Gram...Elder Raga what are you doing" Hoku asked,
"Saving your life child, take a closer look at your surroundings before you jump into a fight".
He then pointed his stick to the ground, Hoku looked at him with a confused expression until.
(Sfx Twitch)
"What are you doing Hoku, if we all attack her at once we should be able to do-" Rofu was interrupted by Hoku,
(Sfx Halted)
Hoku who as his hands up to stop their approach. With cold sweat dripping from his forehead, they all started to look at each other wondering what happened the original plan only to look back at hoku just staring at the ground. But what they saw when they looked at the ground cause the entire crew to go silence, out of the five men not a single person could you make a step within a meter of their fight.
(Sfx Coooohh)
As a cold air was drilling on the ground between the villagers and the fight, the white line of mist was barely visible but that wasn't what had stop them from trying to move any forward.
(Sfx Shiver)
No it was this imminent presence of death, that loomed around that cool Mist, "Well haven't you noticed you're missing someone?" Elder Raga asked. They all started to step back until,
(Sfx Thud)
Some fell to the ground has they started look around them in a panic "Where's the other one",
"The half naked tall lady?",
"She's the one doing this",
"But how… where?",
"It felt as if the cold had reach my chest".
Raga Looked at them completely terrified and said,
"Shhhh, can't you so called courageous brotherhood shut up and watch, you'll understand after this".
Looking back at the fight Ulia was dusting off her bare feet, as well as the debris that were caught on her dress has Obi planned his next move.
(She's too strong to be rolling rocks at her, come on man think of something. Thanks to the church and the holy water that priest gave us, I'm the strongest person in the this Village I have to be able to defend my people. My goal is to be a the Holy Kingdom's best blacksmiths second only to the chief's son, then how am I supposed to believe they're our enemies now).
(Sfx Pulsing)
"I don't care if you're strong, if you're not protecting others your strength its worthless, I'll… by the grace the Holy Kingdom be my villages hero" Obi proclaimed has whites a aura started to cover his body.
"Thats, protection sainte a Deacon level magical defense spell, the stronger your ideals the greater the defense" Hoku said.
(Sfx Whack)
"Yo, fangirl shut up" Raga said after hitting him upside the head with his stick.
(Holy crap!… I can't believe it worked, I've been trying to do this for years after coming back to the Village. Though I don't think I can last very long with it, well all I need is a few minutes)
Obi thoughts to himself but then he realized,
(Sfx Tap, tap, tap)
Ulia tip toeing herself to his direction.
"Wait, wait, wait I wasn't ready",
Has he guards himself, covering his face with his arms.
(Wait what am I doing her attacks can't hurt me now)
He thought to himself has he release his guard and shouted,
"Coup de poing sacré".
(Sfx Swing)
He threw a wild left punch poured to the brim with holy magic at her, but with minimal movement she dodges his punch then gently tiptoed up his left arm,
"Huh?"
He murmured as he saw her lifting her tan bare right leg straight up into the air going rigth beside her head preparing for a axe kick. Obi instinctively poured all of his defense towards his face,
(Sfx Stomp, crash)
But he was slammed into the ground shattering both his holy armor, head, skull and the ground he was standing on in one motion with little to no effort.
After stomping on him she walked over his body,
"Thanks to certain someone I wasn't able to get my all clothes ready on time… and I didn't get my stockings and shoes out of the rubble, aww I hate it when my dress gets dirty".
Ulia not even realize that she just broke the guy's skull. Why… she was busy dusting off herself again, she noticed the villagers were looking at her. She looked back at them wondering what was so special about the situation right now, But then she noticed that they weren't entirely looking at her she turned around back to Obi. Face splattered on the floor twitching like an insect with blood flowing through the cracks in the rock,
(Sfx…)
"Wait I thought you said that spell gave him a deacon level of protection" She turned around back at Hoku and shouted hysterically just realizing what she's done,
"He doesn't even have deacon level training!!!" They all shouted back at her.
"Ohh crap… if he dies, I'm dead when the king gets down",
(Sfx Throw)
She then catched a bottle that was thrown out of nowhere, she looked out at the crowd on wondering who threw it. Everyone looked around wondering where the bottle came from, But then she looked at it and found out it was,
"It's a full potion, we can fix his head now" Ulia said.
"So should I use it",
Everyone shake their head in agreement,
"Now can you keep this just between us, all of us… And no one else, we don't want anyone to know that might be upstairs right?".
Everyone shake their heads in agreement.
(Sfx Dripple)
Has she pour the potion over his head,
"See…it wasn't so bad?"
Ulia said while everyone else looked at her innocent smile over a the body with the brain literally showing on the ground and wonder.
(Is she serious?) In unison.
Obi was slowly able to regain consciousness, and got up feeling groggy,
"What the hell just happened" he asked,
"Let's just say that you lost" Ulia reply
(Sfx Twitches)
As he looked at the pool of dried blood on the floor He responded "Apparently… so".
As he was slowly getting up off the ground He pulled out a dagger out of his boots hidden underneath his robe, and as he was about to attack,
"You little bit-"
(Sfx Coooohh).
"That'll be enough" A cool breath whispers.
