Chapter 47 : Armacar Fight

Isabelle was not in her room nor her workroom, meaning she was now probably in the safest place. The only place that was probably the safest in this house was the basement storage room. Allen immediately went there.

When he tried to open the manhole's iron cover, it felt heavy and hard to open. From the inside, it was locked. So, they have to be here. Allen then had to use both hands to take the hole's cover off.

"AAAAAAGH!"

-KLANG

The iron bent, and the hole was now open.

-SYUT

When Allen reached the bottom of the hole, an arrow was aimed directly at his leg, but fortunately, it missed.

"Don't move! I'll shoot you if you move!" a woman shouted.

"BEKYMRET! Wait, Iskaria! That smell, that is Allen's smell!"

Allen jumped down.

There were Iskaria, Illska, Isabelle, Felicia, and Rachel inside that room. Illska held the crossbow with trembling hands while Isabelle looked at Allen with a relieved face. Except for Illska, all of them were wearing nightgowns.

"Allen! Are you hurt?" shouted Felicia.

"I'm fine; instead of that, you all should leave this place as soon as possible because there are too many soldiers outside, and there is no chance they can hold it longer."

Their relieved faces turned anxious.

"Unfortunately, there's nowhere to run," said Isabelle.

Illska was hugging Iskaria's body when Iskaria pushed Illska firmly.

"This is all your fault! It's because you're here that everything becomes like this!"

"Iskaria?"

" Iskaria, stop it. If there is anyone to blame, it is me. I am the one who came up with the idea to keep this child hidden here."

"This is unacceptable, lady! I don't understand why you have to do this?! Your life is in danger if this keeps up! I do not desire... I don't want this to be the last day of my life as your maid!" Iskaria sat down, covering her crying face.

Illska then tries to comfort her.

"Don't touch me, you monster!" Iskaria shouted as she pushed Illska's body.

"Lei seg..."

"I didn't expect it either, Auntie. Why would you do something like this? You're betraying the kingdom by hiding a Norttish," said Felicia while looking at Illska.

"There's no point in asking that now; you all must run away. According to the rules, if you don't interfere with me here, then you will be safe."

"Huh? Then leave auntie? How could I do that!" cried Felicia.

"So this is all Illska's fault?" said Illska, glummy.

"Redd. Everyone outside came to kill Illska, right? Then Illska just needs to get out of here and kill them all! Allen, sorry, Illska will break the promise."

Illska immediately ran out of the hole with both feet and hands.

"Illska! Don't go!" shouted Isabelle, but she was already too far away, her orders not reaching Illska's ears.

"Allen! Go after her!" shouted Isabelle again.

"Why? My job is to protect you. Whatever happens, I must be with you until the end, and I will never leave you, Isabelle."

"Then, I'll revise all the rules, Allen; you have to go after Illska!"

"I don't want-" as he said that, he felt thorns piercing her body repeatedly. This time, it hurt so much that he fell. It was the result of disobeying his master's command.

"Isabelle! Don't make me do this! Theo asked me to take care of you!" Allen said as he hugged her painful body.

"Don't mind me, go! You really think I'm going to die here! Rancid boy, I'm Earl Isabell Browet Wolverlope. I order you not only to chase Illska, but to defeat all the soldiers outside; you're strong, aren't you? Fight well until they can't get here! Once they retreat, we will think of another strategy to run away."

The pain in Allen's body slowly disappeared.

"Make sure you win," Isabelle said.

"Alright, you too, don't die. You must follow the contract. Until I kill Leofric, you must stay alive."

Allen then went upstairs,

"Allen!" called Felicia.

Felicia threw something at Allen.

"A knife?"

"It is a knife with the Boldenville family crest. If anything happens, please run, and come to the Boldenville residence. I will make you one of our soldiers."

"You don't need to give me this. I will solve all the problems here," Allen then left from there.

.

Around the manor house, there was a fierce battle. Fiery arrows were shot here and there, and different amnis were shot. There were many deaths, but because Wolverlope's soldiers were more passionate and determined than the kingdom's, most deaths were on the kingdom's side.

But even so, they were still cornered, The soldiers sent by the kingdom were about 500, but Wolverlope's soldiers were only 200. But the problem is not the number of soldiers but the strategy. The Wolverlope's soldiers attacked the kingdom's soldiers without thinking, while the kingdom's soldiers moved in a more organized way. They had a vanguard in the front, support in the middle, and amnis users in the back, so they were bound to lose sooner or later.

In the middle of the battle, a shadow covered the front yard. The shadow formed the silhouette of a wolf. All the soldiers looked up through the roof and saw the silhouette of Wolverlope's family crest, the white wolf. But it wasn't a wolf; it was a girl with white hair and dark skin, standing on the roof of the house with her hands and feet. The girl covered the moon shining above her so that her large shadow covered the front yard. Everyone could see her glowing red eyes, showing her anger.

"As the old man said, there really is a Norttish in this house," said Ottar.

The girl looked up at the sky, then muttered,

"So this is the sky..."

Then she looked down; many people were fighting, and many people were dead.

"Overrasket. Why has everything become like this just because Illska lives here? Why is everyone disturbing Illska's house even though Illska didn't do anything bad.

Sint. Because of you guys, I can't keep my promise to Allen. YOU ALL MUST PAY FOR THIS WITH YOUR LIVES!"

Illska fell from the roof. When she reached the ground, she propped herself up with her legs and arms like a falling cat.

"UGHAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

She moved quickly and violently, clawing at the kingdom's soldiers. Illska decided to eliminate the threat immediately and without mercy. Many had their heads severed by Illska's claws, and others had their brains eaten. Illska's quick move from one person to another eluded from eyes.

Meanwhile, the fight between Theobauld and Ottar continued. While Ottar was distracted by Illska's flogging, Theobauld swooped in for a vertical attack on his body, which Ottar parried with his axe.

-CRACK

Theobauld's sword blade created a new crack in Ottar's axe.

"That sword is really sharp, huh... I'm even afraid to swipe it with my axe."

No one could enter the circle of Theobauld and Ottar's fierce battle. They knew that they could not interfere.

"My armacar, Crudelitas, is a high-lizard fang that has lived for more than 20 years. It was a gift given to me by Prince Eldritch. The sharpness of this sword can cut through anything you have," explained Theobauld.

The damage on Ottar's armor looked very severe, filled with Theobauld's cleavage marks.

"It looks like I don't need this armor anymore."

With just his physical strength, he removed the armor, along with the helmet.

"Aaah, I haven't felt like this in a long time."

Inside was a bulky, muscular man wearing a tight green outfit. Scars covered almost his entire body, and there were some new wounds that Theobald had given him.

As for his head, his hair was brown; his eyes were also brown, and his face was also full of scars, like being repeatedly scratched by something.

'No wonder he always stays inside that armor and hides his face,' thought Theobauld.

Then quickly, Ottar ran straight towards him, pointing his large axe at the other side of Theobauld's sword.

"As long as I don't attack the sword's blade, their sharpness is useless!"

Ottar repeatedly attacked Theobauld, causing him to retreat backward.

'He's so agile! Isn't he a defender, walking slowly and wearing heavy armor?'

Every time Theobauld's sword blade hit Ottar's axe, it gradually eroded.

'It is very sharp. if this continues, in a few more attacks, my armacar will probably break first.'

Both of them felt cornered, but the one who was actually cornered here was Theobauld. He already said that his armacar's ability was sharpness, while Ottar had yet to show his armacar's ability.

'Even though he has received that many wounds, why is he still moving so nimbly? While here, my bones might have been displaced just from enduring his attacks.'

"I will end this, Theobauld Cosyngton!"

Suddenly Ottar backed up a little, then leapt, making a swoop attack on Theobauld.

"What a waste."

Theobauld was about to use the same method as before, swiping his sword at the axe and diverting his attack elsewhere.

Just as Theobauld was about to use it, a small fire surrounded Ottar's axe.

"So that's your armacar's ability, but such a small flame won't work on my sword!"

Ottar's axe clashed with Theobauld's sword, and then

-BOOM

An explosion occurred in his axe; the explosion hit Theobauld's head, burning him. Theobauld immediately recoiled. His head was now black, covered in burns, and blood was oozing from the skin of his face.

Ottar took the opportunity; he spun his axe around, striking Theobauld in the stomach. Theobauld shielded his stomach with his sword, but because of that, he was thrown far back, hitting the pole in front of the house.

"Akh!"

Theobauld's body could not move; all the bones in his body were probably broken, let alone his right hand, which had directly used its sword to block Ottar's attack.

Ottar walked over to Theobauld.

"My armacar is the bones and soul fragments of a salamander. This axe can produce a small explosion that isn't very powerful, but it will be very useful for one-on-one combat like now."

Theobauld tried to move his whole body, but it was useless, Ottar had already arrived in front of him.

"Too bad I haven't seen your god's blessing. Maybe you have no chance to use it in this battle. So… Goodbye, Theobauld Cosyngton, that was a great fight."

Ottar raised his axe and was about to split Theobauld's head open.

Then suddenly, from the side,

-Whooosh

A kid looked kicked Ottar's body and made him thrown away to the side.

The kid covered his head with a robe attached to his scarf. Theobauld immediately recognized who the kid is; it was Allen.

"Why did you come back?!" shouted Theobauld.

"Isabelle's orders; she meant to save everyone."
