Chereads / Princess and her knight(Overlord AU) / Chapter 57 - War: Gazeff Stronoff

Chapter 57 - War: Gazeff Stronoff

Slane Theocracy]

A young girl exited through a white door and Walked through a brightly lit hallway , she wiped her wet hands on her red school blouse and properly placed her glasses, it did not take long for her to reach her destination as she only had to turn a corner to reach her bedroom.

The girl was of average stature, perhaps shorter than usual, and she wore a Japanese school girl uniform with thigh-high socks. Her hair was dirty blonde bordering on beige with dark tips.

"M'lady we've brought the necessary amount of snacks and drinks as you've ordered"

As she arrived before her bedroom, the servants she had sent to get snacks during her bathroom break informed her and she nodded before opening the room and letting them enter and place the snacks on a table that was positioned near the bed.

"thanks, you are dismissed"

She informed the servants once they were done, although her voice came out a bit more timid than command, but the maids could only find it adorable. They bowed and exited her room and left her to do her job.

Thousand leagues astrologer had the ability to see things from afar, her ability allowed her to gains detailed information on any location as long as she has been there or has been given very detailed and specific information about the location, of course it doesn't work in doors or if the place is too far away and she has to be paying attention to the location.

This power made her a valuable asset to the slane theocracy so much so that the cardinals give her preferential treatment compared to other members of the black scripture.

Once the Servants were out of the room, Thousand leagues astrologer quickly got to work, she undressed herself leaving only her underwear before sitting on her bed then covered herself with the blankets revealing only her head

Once she had done that, the room dimmed as multiple holographic screens appeared before her and displayed multiple high-resolution holographic videos of the war from eight different angles.

"oh it already started"

She spoke as she began to watch the war rage on from the comfort of her own home. The forces from the Baharuth empire and the Re-estize kingdom clashed as they battled.

She could hear the screams of the soldiers clearly, the sounds of clashing steel and the stomping of boots on the ground. It was as if she was there in person, and it gave her a feeling of excitement.

This Power of hers also allowed her to recreate what she has seen in near identical illusions, so she simply needs to watch something and she'll be able to relay the information by creating a sort of simulation of what transpired.

"hmm"

She hummed as she witnessed the Baharuth empire's army being pushed back by the Re-estize army and interesting development as usually both sides are usually equal.

…

Hours passed, and the young maiden had her eyes glued to the holographic screen as she watched a magnificent battle take place.

She laid flat on her stomach while munching on cakes as her legs swung back and forth in the air.

Two powerful and noteworthy individuals were engaged in a furious battle, and the warrior Chief Gazeff Stronoff from the Re-estize kingdom was up against one of the four imperial knights ofBaharuth empire Baziwood Peshmel

The two men were locked in deadly combat, and sparks flew in the air as their blades clashed.

Baziwood parried a thrust from Gazeff to the side opening Gazeff's guard however the chief warrior was quick on his feet as he immediately got close and delivered a powerful punch of the imperial knight's face knocking him back.

Feeling the punch, Baziwood staggered back however quickly recovered and ignored the pain before swinging his broadsword once more and Gazeff used his own blade to block it however the strength behind the sword was too great and he was force stagger back as well and his guard was broken

Baziwood capitalized and swung aiming low for Gazeff's torso, the chief warrior with his guard broken would be unable to recover so instead he performed a back flip but used his foot to kick sand into the eyes of his opponent so that he won't get stabbed in the back while attempting such an evasive monouvre

The move was successful, and Gazeff was able to recover and stood with his sword ready, Baziwood was able to wipe the sand off his face and charged at the chief warrior, and the two once again clashed swords

The sound of iron clashing against iron was drowned out by the cries of soldiers and the sound of other blades clashing against each other. The two were not the only ones on this battlefield.

Their battle was heated, each swing from either one was blocked and parried, Baziwood's strength aided him and getting an advantage over Gazeff however, Gazeff used every opportunity he got to punch and kick his opponent, his swordsmanship was superior coupled up with the use of his arms and legs made things difficult for Baziwood.

The imperial knight could not help but love the chief warrior's unorthodox fighting techniques, it basically spat in the face of swordsmanship but unfortunately they were in the middle of a war talking was not a luxury they had.

Baziwood's blade came from above, and rather than block, Gazeff stepped to the side, letting the attack miss his shoulder and hit the ground, leaving his left opponent's flank open.

Unfortunately for Gazeff, it would not be easy, right as he swung his blade for his foe's torso, Baziwood slammed his armoured elbow on the chief warrior's face, sending him skidding across the ground and giving Gazeff a bloody nose.

"ugh"

The chief warrior groaned in pain. He felt like a hammer had slammed onto his face. It made his face feel tingly and felt the blood on his top lip.

'his strength is incredible'

Gazeff thought to himself, it was not easy to push back a man of his stature, let alone forcefully make him slide back. It was clear in terms of strength he was outdone.

The man he was fighting was clearly a great warrior. It was a shame that he was an enemy. Gazeff regretted that this was a war and not a friendly sparring match, without the luxury of casual conversation.

Wiping the blood off his nose, Gazeff properly positioned himself and used the martial art: ability boost and charge at his opponent. Baziwood did the same, and they clashed once again, both men using a martial art of their own

Despite having used martial art to help him get a strength boost, his foe still had the upper hand in strength.

Gazeff dodged another swing from Baziwood. This time, it was aimed at his neck, so he bent backward, already planning to counterattack once the blade missed.

Unfortunately, he received a kick to the torso one that sent him tumbling to the floor, but he quickly jumped back to his feet, not giving his foe the chance to capitalise on his fall.

The two men had now begun to pant, breathing heavily. Their battle was not going to end if both kept fighting at such a pace. Not to mention they were in a war spending too much time on a single opponent was not ideal. It was time to end this.

Gazeff let out a deep sigh, and Baziwood quickly understood as well that it was time to finish this. He took a stance, ready to engage.

'Martial art: weightless step'

Gazeff thought as his body moved faster, Shocking Baziwood, who had to hastily dodge to the side and crane his head to the side and narrowly avoided the sword swing aimed at his head.

"What!"

He exclaimed in panic, however, before He could properly think he was forced to jump back as another attack from Gazeff grazed his cheek, drawing blood.

He tightened his grip on the broadsword, preparing to counterattack with his own martial art, however Gazeff was quicker and gave him no time to counter.

"martial art: six fold thrust"

In a burst of speed, Gazeff thrusted his blade forward, and Baziwood suffered a powerful blow at his stomach, and his armor was pierced straight through along with his stomach

"guahh!"

His eyes bulged out of his head and coughed up blood as he flew back tens of meters away from Gazef.

The battle has suddenly ended without any warning or sign, Gazeff exhaled deeply and inhaled deeply, the Weightless step was a taxing technique, he developed it as a way to increase his speed but it took a great toll on his stamina.

It also didn't help that he used it in tandem with the six fold thrust, a variation of the six fold slash so the stamina drain was immense however he could not rest as he was at war.

He took a step forward, however before he could do that, he felt chills all over his body and he quickly turned and saw nothing however he felt it, a massive amount of magic power was released coupled with something else, something that made his knees shake.

The war seemed to stop as all the soldiers seemed to turn and look at the direction the aura was coming from.

Something powerful had decided to make itself known.

A/N: I thought to write Brain's fight as well but I decided not because you guys might not like it as the chapter would be too long without the Arthur Making appearance, so Brain's fight will be shorter next chapter.

APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU AND THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPPORT.
