Should I reveal myself and tell them that bad guys are after them? Should I stay invisible? Should I scan all the possible places the bad guys might be hiding? What if they tried to poison Kara and Mara again? What if they tried to hit Jean and kidnap Kara and Mara? There are just too many possibilities, and the only thing I can hope for is that none of my worst fears will come true.
Unfortunately
(DANGER!!!) (DANGER!!!) (DANGER!!!) (DANGER!!!)
My instinct tells me it will definitely happen, and it will start with that guy over there. He fidgets a lot for a guard. Definitely something wrong with him
(His sword? No! His magic? No. I can't tell what's wrong with him) [Diana]
Does that mean he will try to physically harm Kara and Mara? Probably, and he's probably waiting for the right time to do it. Probably when Jean is not with them.
"Hey, you're late"
"Sorry, come on, let's change shifts"
My instinct explodes. The guards changing shifts, all of it, all of it, brings nothing but bloodlust. This is bad. This is definitely bad.
(Jean, Kara and Mara. This is me, Diana. Don't shout or don't make any noises) [Diana]
"!" [Jean, Kara, Mara]
I am an idiot. I should just do this from the start. But there's no time for regrets. While my spell still lasts, I should whisper to them about the current situation.
"Gaah"
"Hey what's wron..."
"Stop! What are you doing!"
"Someone! Alert the..."
What's happening? No, from the sound and that familiar smell
"Blood..." [Diana]
This is definitely bad. I should just erect a barrier here and now myself
"Barrier of light!" [Diana]
A domed barrier of light covers the four of us. I make sure to strengthen it with several layers of the same spell, stacking them one after the other. I'm glad that the blessing of the Fairy Spring has made such a feat possible.
"Now to take the princes... Gah!"
"Don't you dare harm them!" [Jean]
Calm as the wind itself, Jean shot an arrow of light and wind, killing the guard instantly.
Just as Sir Gilbert expected. Use it now!"
"Heh, I guess with his death we will get more gold coins from his share"
They attach something that looks like a jewel to their uniform and start drinking from a bottle. Inside the bottle, I can feel a concentrated amount of anti-light and anti-wind mana. Even the gem itself is something special. It's imbued with an almost cursed power.
"A measure to counter me. Clever" [Jean].
But it's only anti-wind and anti-light, so
"Fire Spear" "Earth Trap" "Dark Arrow" "Water Jet" "Attack Buff" "Defence Buff" "Speed Buff" [Diana] [Jean
"Carry on Diana" [Jean].
Jean rushes forward and starts slicing and dicing each one of them, with me providing magical support for Jean while also shooting down the bad guy. They're tough, as evidenced by the fact that their armour doesn't look tattered. They're taking damage, but not enough.
"We outnumbered you, traitor to the Church"
"Die"
"Insolent" [Jean]
They tried to stab Jean from behind, but Jean simply parried them before using a blast of wind to create a distance between them.
"This is hard"
"She may not be mentioned as a hero, but she still plays a significant role in the war."
Still, Jean is good! Even as more and more people arrive, she's still able to protect the three of us. The bad guys show signs of fatigue, while she remains calm.
"Go Jean, go! Kill them and throw them into an orc's stomach!" [Diana]
"LANGUAGE!" [Jean]
Okay, my bad for swearing, but is it really necessary to scold at me right now, of all times!
""You're late. As expected, this lady bring you trouble" [Gilbert].
A flash of light, a teleportation spell appears, and with it, the rude looking guy comes forward and stabs Jean in the back with his spear.
"Now, to finish the job" [Gilbert]
