144 Amused
"The oracle would like to see you. He has been expecting you to come for a very long time, would you please come with me." The Ogre's words completely baffled the other three people in front of him.
At first, Lu Yao has dismissed the Ogre as a dumb ogre-like….. well Ogre just like how they are usually known, keeping minimal attention to not let herself be sneak attacked. However, after hearing the Ogre's manner of speech, pose, and the intelligence flickering in his eyes, Lu Yao had concentrated her mind on him to check for any hidden intention.
"What are you saying, Ogma? Did you just say that the powerful creature the oracle has mentioned was this stray fox?!!" Hearing the lack of respect and disregard in the elf's voice, the peaceful and calm look on ogma's face changed into a fierce expression.
"Phante, you dare?!!!!" The proud look on Phante's face started changing into fear as his face turned pale at Ogma's words.
Seeing the situation turning out of hand, Your interjected, "Ogma, You know Phante he doesn't mean any harm, it's just his nature to be arrogant due to his father." Ogma calmed down a little at Yoru's face making Phante send a thankful look towards her.
Lu Yao watched the trio's interaction with an amused flicker in her eyes, after all to someone her age, it just looked like some kids playing around.
Remembering Phante's previous whisper and what Ogma told her, Lu Yao got curious towards this Oracle's identity. 'Do Oracles exist? Can someone truly look into the future?' Such questions started appearing in Lu Yao's mind as she was watching the show in front of her.
After conversing for a bit, the trio agreed to have Phante and Yoru apologize to the guest. Phante because he kept humiliating the guest, which is a miracle for him to still have his head on his shoulder after that, as for Yoru, although she did nothing wrong, the tone she spoke to Lu Yao in was very disrespectful.
"I am sorry for disrespecting you. Please don't take offense with my foolishness and naiveness, I am still young, and there is much for me to learn." Learning that it was Lu Yao who the Oracle divined, Phante changed his attitude 180 degrees while cold sweat trickled from his back.
Phante was lucky to have Ogma interfere and stopping him from dying, another second later, and he would be in a torture session to die for.
After leaving the Battle Mage Academy, Xue Mo and Lu Yao decided to work on controlling their disgust for the opposite gender. That way, they can enjoy torturing more people without having the urge to puke every other second.
Yoru apologized even more sincerely than Phante, the actual instigator for the annoyance that was brewing in Lu Yao's heart, "I am sorry for offending the Miss, please give me the required punishment to atone for my sins." Blunt and straight to the point just like the first time, Yoru asked for punishment to be administrated for her crime.
Thinking that someone with Lu Yao's status and strength that even the Oracle asked for a meeting politely would never pay attention to someone weaker like her.
Yoru was utterly wrong, Lu Yao although looked friendly with her white fur, she was a cold-hearted person, who doesn't care for the person's strength. If the person's weak, then die quickly, if the person's power is high, then it becomes a little troublesome, but in the end, they will still die.
Lu Yao stared at the trio in front of her, reexamining them. Although they were Magical Master level creatures, they still knew their boundaries and respected her. No, it was because they revered and trusted the Oracle that much. 'Interesting. Let's see if Oracles do exist.'
Although Lu Yao agreed to meet the Oracle, she won't just go to him in his territory or degrade herself and give him some face. She will let him come to her. 'You want me then come and get me,' was what Lu Yao thinking.
"I will meet this so-called Oracle of yours." Lu Yao's words put a smile on the trio's faces, especially Ogma. ��Then let's g����." Before Ogma can finish his words, Lu Yao continued, "But, let him come see me himself, this place is quite fine."
Lu Yao had thought things through. If the Oracle honestly did know of her power, then he might even have a countermeasure for it, although unlikely, she won't trust anyone but Xue Mo with her life. Not taking any chances, Lu Yao made her stance clear.
"This is impossible. How can someone with his majesty, the Oracle's status, come here? I won't allow such disgrace of his majesty. I don't care who you are, or what his majesty wants with you; you will die now!?" Ogma lost control and was about to attack Lu Yao.
Unsheathing his copper sword, Ogma displayed the Ogre's strength as the air split apart when he cleaved down with his sword.
Exchanging looks with each other, Your and Phante both unleashed their weapons. Unbuckling the bow with familiar movement, showed that although Phante was arrogant and unlike the elves Lu Yao knew, he was still trained and very meticulous in his training.
Yoru, on the other hand, aimed her hand at Lu Yao's direction as she started chanting a spell. Green colored energy started swarming around her at every syllable finished.
"Spirits of the world gather around me, with the power of trees attack my enemy. SEED GROWTH"
When Yoru finished casting, green vines began to come out from the ground, albeit slowly, which surprised Lu Yao, who was amused watching the trio attack her.
It was the first time for Lu Yao to see this kind of Magic or even hearing about it. Lu Yao, although it was from a mid-grade world and a mid-grade Academy, she hadn't seen or learned of all my magic types the Academies archives houses, even then, she was pretty sure that this kind of Magic wasn't mentioned there. The Magic to command and grow plants.
The three's combination attack was surprisingly effective, although Lu Yao hadn't even tried or moved from her place if it were any other person the teamwork of those three would surely put them in a tight spot.
Lu Yao continued dodging, all the attacks that came upon her, without even having to change her place, as in her eyes, the trio's attempts to damage her were futile, and were just a warm-up to her. However, these three were undeniably talented for even a midgrade world people; they had excellent teamwork, practice, and were obviously hardworking; they were still far too weak for her.
The trio was attacking Lu Yao nonstop and hadn't noticed that they were being played with. They kept attacking and using different moves trying to kill Lu Yao, every time they thought they got here; she would miraculously dodge at the last second.
Even if they were dumb, they would have noticed that something was wrong, for Lu Yao to dodge fatal attacks at the last second more than five times was too suspicious, and Lu Yao wasn't even trying to hide the fact that she could easily dodge them.
Seeing that their attempts were futile, and they were entertaining the enemy instead and playing in the palm of the enemy's hands. Ogma displayed some signals with his hands, which Lu Yao could only guess for it be their secret code of communication stopping the enemy from knowing their next move. Lu Yao was enjoying herself playing with these lambs, though she doesn't care about the weak, what happens to them or how they die, Lu Yao was still curious and wanted to know what their next move would be.
Ogma quickly made his way toward Lu Yao's place at a speed that shouldn't be possible with his build, and even his steps were light and stealthy. As if it wasn't a giant Ogre that is coming towards her, but an experienced assassin that likes close quarter combat. Lu Yao was about to scoff at their foolishness and wanted to see their dispaired looks when she shows some of her strength.
The new attack formation the trio was now using was, Ogma the Ogre in front while Phante and Yoru on the side supporting him in a triangular formation trying to lock Lu Yao in. At the same time, Ogma started closing the distance to make it harder for her to dodge.
This attack formation might be useful on an average person and even a sure way to kill some, but on Lu Yao, this was child's play. 'Trying to remove the places I can dodge to and try and do me in? Cant, they see that I haven't even moved from my place for the entirety of this farce?' Lu Yao was getting annoyed; although it was fun at first, it started becoming boring.
'Should I finish them off already?' Lu Yao asked herself while dodging another one of Ogma's sure kill strikes easily.
