Before she could reach the captain, he had put his power into his attack against Koichi once more. Forcing the sword through his stomach within an instant.
Blood can be seen hitting the floor with a shocked expression across Koichi's face with him still standing tall.
"Cough. You won't win." Koichi coughs up blood before speaking.
Koichi can be seen gripping the sword that's within his stomach and he shoots a glare towards Lena, almost as if it was a signal.
"Humans really are interesting." The Captain says while trying to pull his blade out.
Lena continued to make her way for the captain as Koichi held the blade still to keep him from moving. Pain able to visibly be seen on his face with the captain getting more and more annoyed by the second.
I won't let Koichi or anyone else in this village die, this captain will face the justice he deserves.
Lightning can be seen sparking around her sword as she draws it. "A Class skill, Lightning blade." (A skill that allows lightning to be channeled within a weapon for use against an enemy.) Quickly striking down against the captain.
Swoosh!!!! Slash!!!! A gust of wind goes past the captain as he notices his arm is on the floor, electricity begins to surge throughout his body as he tries to dash back.
"Now you are quite a surprise!" The Captain shouts with a bit of excitement in his voice.
Immediately teleporting all around her with immense amounts of speed the captain prepares to attack. Smash!!!! Slamming down with his other arm he breaks the ground next to Lena as she dodges to the side.
Thud. Koichi fell onto the ground as Lena fought against the captain.
"Someone dodging my attack is something I never expected. This is so invigorating!" The Captain shouts with excitement in his voice.
A huge smile across his face as he continued to clash with Lena, slowly beginning to trade blows back and forth.
Dodging, attacking, dodging, it was an ongoing battle of stamina between the two of them.
"You can't keep this up forever." The Captain says as his fist begins to fill with flames.
"I just need to kill you." Lena responds with a cold expression on her face.
The look cold look on her face said enough about how she felt about this whole fight going on. She'd stop at nothing to make sure this captain died no matter the cost.
White light began to form around her feet before she disappeared in front of the captain. "S Class skill, Divine Speed."(Enhances the users speed by 10x the normal speed.)
No longer able to see where Lena is he begins to question if she disappeared until he feels the cold steel enter his side.
"I told you I intend to end your life here." Lena says while twisting the blade in his side.
"Gah! You really are powerful." The Captain responds while blood begins to hit the ground.
Expecting to get an easy hit on her, he completely missed as she was already gone and the blade can be felt over and over again. Piercing him from multiple sides in seconds at a time.
Drip. Drip. Blood hit the ground repeatedly as the captain fell to his knees.
I expected this captain to be a lot stronger but maybe it's because I finally used my skills to the fullest. I didn't use all of them but I needed to make sure I could still do it after all this time.
"Your Lord will meet the same fate soon enough." Lena says with a serious tone in her voice.
Slashing the captains throat before he falls to the ground completely. Baffled by the sheer change in strength that she displayed out of nowhere.
"W...Way to go Lena." Koichi says softly while laying on the floor.
"Koichi!" Lena shouts while heading over to him.
Kneeling next to him she could see the damage from the captains sword left on Koichi but it wasn't too late to save him. She quickly began to rummage through her bag in search of a potion.
Something that's recommended to most people traveling in the world, healing potions.
"Hey what happened?" Naoki speaks from behind her with a curious tone in his voice.
"W-We ran into a captain but it'll be fine!" Lena shouts with a bit of panic in her voice.
I wouldn't let him die here, not here of all places when we have the whole world to save still. He's our paladin after all, our friend.
Somehow finding the last potion she had in her bag, she quickly poured it into his mouth without giving him a chance to respond.
Gulp. Gulp. Within seconds of it going down his throat the wound could be seen healing, leaving nothing but a scar behind.
"You didn't have to waste that on me." Koichi speaks with a soft tone.
"Definitely needed to." Naoki chimes in with his arms crossed.
They helped Koichi slowly stand up before figuring out what was going on with the rest of the village itself. The screams were still echoing throughout the area as if something was going on.
"I cleared everything out so we should be clear to help with the aftermath of the situation here." Naoki speaks with a bit of certainty in his voice.
We stopped all the demons here from killing anyone and now all we had left to do was save the people who were trapped or hurt in the process.
"I'll be okay. Let's finish saving this place so we can get to the real battle ahead." Koichi says while standing up slowly.
The group slowly began to search around the village for those who needed help. Seeing the pure destruction from the demons in the brief time they were alive here made a real impact.
Lena made sure to take note of what they can do after seeing all this.
"I wonder what the army is like that we'll be facing soon." Naoki speaks up while looking around.
