Back to when the one behind the string gets attack by Arsya and Galen.
"It's just like master predicted, huh?"
She was surprised that there's a woman's voice from the outside even though he is in the midair, she looked in the voice direction and saw a girl with black armor and katana, the time she looked in her direction is the moment she realized that she about to be cut off…
"Edge slash!!!"
Arsya then released her skill.
Edge slash is the technique that Arsya use is a sword art martial that have been learned in the village. Edge slash is the attack technique that uses the tip of the sword to attack the target, with only just a tip of the sword she slashed the woman that was in the midair because of the air explosion from her suicide plan. Arsya is already been warned by me, that she must not kill the culprit behind Alcott, the reason is that we need her to be interrogated as to why she release the beast and after that, we can use her to clear Alcott name, we can at least lessen his burden. That's the reason Arsya didn't use any fatal Attack, Arsya attacked all of her limbs from the hand, the feet, her abdomen, the cut isn't that deep Arsya only left her a shallow wound, it was really amazing that she can use it precisely, it was very hard to attack the target with the measurement to didn't cut it too deep. If you cut too deep the wound will be fatal, but if you too shallow the target will scan still move, this technique it's very difficult for me to use since I didn't mastery the art of the sword.
The girl groaned in pain, we can see it from her expression after she has been slashed by Arsya, though the wound isn't too deep Arsya used the attack consequently that it makes all of her body is covered by the wound from Arsya technique. Arsya focused her technique on the target feet she wants to make sure she can't stand and can't run after being hit by her.
The girl then groaned while making a difficult expression.
"Aghhhhh!!!!"
She was shocked, she didn't expect that she will get ambushed after she uses the suicide crystal bomb, she thought she can be freed from me, but I already predicted and calculated it that's why I ordered Arsya to guard from the outside, I make her so she can't didn't have any escape route and closing all the possible escape route.
The girl looked at Arsya, while she tries to heal herself but the wound that Arsya make is too much that it needs her time to heal all the wounds. After being hit by Arsya, the girl then fall down from the midair, she didn't ready the stance to landed because of surprised attack from outside and the wound that Arsya create is enough to make her numb from all of her body, she can only focus defense magic on her body so that she didn't make any injuries after she hit the ground.
The sound of people who jump out and falling to the ground can be heard from where the room is exploded.
"BAMMM"
The sound isn't too loud but it still can be heard. The people in the surrounding building and the one who evacuate to another building close to the guild, all of them looked at where that girl fall, they are curious as to why there's someone fall from the second floor and curious why there's an explosion on guild building. One by one all of the people want to approach her, maybe they want to help her but Arsya who landed not far from her then shout to the mass.
"Everyone doesn't get closer, keep stay on your build locked it up, and hide!!! This person is dangerous!!"
When she shouts it, all the people then hurriedly come into the building not even once of them is asking the question to Arsya or complaint, they already know that Arsya is a secretary from the guild, she is famous among the people in this city. Then I from the second floor descended to the ground, the explosion this girl made from the crystal bomb isn't enough to destroy my barrier, even without my barrier magic I will survive from that explosion without any scratch, my body is really sturdy like steel you can stab a knife or use anything to hit me but as long as that weapon didn't have any magic enhancement and the power they need to penetrate my defense then it was useless, I already test it when I still live in the village, I tried to stab myself, tried to hit myself but there's no scratch or wound until I used the enhanced weapon then I got wounded by that weapon, that's why I can say it confidently that I will survive from that explosion.
I landed beside Arsya, she still didn't lower her guard she keep watch of the girl and keep her eyes on her, the wound that she creates isn't to kill her, after all. She is afraid that she will do something out of her prediction.
Then I open my mouth.
"Good job, Arsya"
I praised her since she can do the job excellently.
"Thank you master"
She still wary about that girl, Arsya even didn't bat an eye in my direction she keeps looking at her. I can only say that Arsya, no… maybe is not her only… maybe all the warrior from the village is serious like her…
The girl who falls from the second floor then tried to stand up, she uses her two hands to lift her body and focused on healing magic on her feet, she really tried her best to stand up after received that damage. Arsya who saw her tried to stand up then readied her stance to attack, she even already put her magic on her katana, if I didn't give her order I believe she will attack her immediately without any mercy, but I stop her right before she jumped to that girl. I raised my right hand and say to her.
"Stop it Arsya, let her stand first"
Maybe I'm too soft or too naive, I feel pity for her I didn't let Arsya finish her attack. I tried to give her compassion I didn't like to attack someone who was already wounded and didn't have any will to fight, if she didn't have any will to fight then I will bring her and imprison her, but it was a different story if she still tried to resist.
"Master?"
Arsya questioned my action, she wonders why I was stopping her.
The wounded girl in front of us then slowly stand up, her feet are trembled like crazy and she still didn't finish heal all her wounds, she just already finished healing her right hand that I ripped from her… or more precisely is because she sacrificed it. All of her body covered in blood, some of the blood is stopped, she somehow able to stop the bleeding. I then speak to her.
"Now, I believe if you still want to live you must surrender and didn't do anything stupid. I promise if you surrender I will guarantee your safety as long as you cooperate with us…"
I don't know if she will surrender or not, but I believe if she surrenders all the country will not execute her immediately, she is someone who used Alcott and his team to open that forbidden gate I believe all the nation want to know her reason and the knowledge that she had since she releases the beast from 5000 years ago. And… well, I have a little interest in her too so if I can… I don't want to kill her in here.
The girl didn't say anything to us, she looks at the ground, and then she slowly looks at our face. When I see her face I have a little surprise, I see in her eyes is tears and I can see a sadness in it… I can feel something is contradicted in her mind, she still has determined eyes to live there's still a fire in it, but at the same time… I can feel her eye is full of sadness that she can't express, she just shed tears with a poker face. Because of this I lowered my guard a little I don't know if she is acting or not, I'm sure if she is acting then she is already deceiving me.
Arsya didn't budge an inch and just look at her and me there's a sympathy feeling from my heart. The girl then bowed her head in front of us, it's like she admitted that she wants to surrender, at this time I really let my guard down and because of that she throws something from her mouth the ground when I see it, it was the red crystal same as the previous one that she uses to explode the building, there are 5 of them. Arsya want to attack her, but she can't attack her carelessly there's a red crystal that can explode, if she attacks her Arsya knows that she will get some damage too and even if Arsya can attack her, there's no guarantee that she can't use any of her tricks and that 5 red crystal if I move carelessly to attack her I believe I will get some damage too, the explosion will be big. Arsya then put the barrier to her and for me, I was already let my guard down and she knows it, that's why she creates a barrier for me.
In the next instant, the girl used all her power to jump backward until the ground is scattered. When we think that the crystal will explode, the crystal didn't explode we are have been tricked, it was a feint so that she can escape, what a clever girl. Arsya then immediately cancels her barrier while making a clicked sound from her mouth "Tch".
The two of us have been fooled, I gather and my magic in my foot, Arsya too. We want to chase her, but the next we took a step the red crystal then glowing brightly. Then…
"BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!"
The sound of the explosion can be heard that explosion is so loud that maybe it can be heard from here to the frontline, and the explosion is big, the guild building is damaged by the explosion, the other building near the guild is damaged too.
The people in the building some of them are injured by the explosion. In the midst of this explosion that girl already vanishes from the scene and leaving this place full of fire.
