Chapter 451 451 – Terrorist Attack [3]
After Arthur left to deal with the intruders in the party hall, Tristan spoke to the girls' group casually. While she looked rather casual and didn't make a big deal of it, she was still anxious about him going alone and asking her to protect the others if something unexpected happened.
'What is the unexpected thing that even he, a living cheat, is wary of? It's different from what Cecil said earlier about him having fun with Teacher Emilia.' She smirked, drinking a grape juice she got from a servant.
Not only them but almost everyone in the party hall drank and ate. Currently, the Queen was moving around with a knight by her side, interacting with Duke Blacktomb and Naya Blacktomb.
Looking at her, Tristan understood why Arthur was more cautious than usual.
'Still, it's not wrong to be careful. Thankfully, I didn't drink anything yet. Though that cocktail looks good, I need to hold back.'
Her eyes darted on the drinks held by Eli and Vivian. As for Cecil, the minotaur girl gulped down two cocktails simultaneously as if she were drinking cheap beers.
"This stuff is really good," Cecil exclaimed as she licked her lips.
"Cecil, that's bad manners. Don't lick your lips vulgarly like that in this place." Vivian reprimanded with a serious look. "It will not only ruin your reputation but also Arthur's."
"Is that really how it works?" The minotaur girl sighed and put the empty glass down on the table. "Noble society is so stiff. I will return to sea after attending his engagement with Eliza and Tristan." She looked at both Eliza and Tristan, who stood side by side.
The former's face turned red, while the latter didn't even register what Cecil had said.
Noticing Tristan's serious face, the former pirate narrowed her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Cecil poked Tristan's shoulder, causing her to jolt slightly, and turned at her, confused.
"What?" She asked.
Sighing, Cecil said, "You're looking too anxious for Arthur's warning. If he's in this place, nothing bad would happen, no? He even defeated that big-ass, tentacle girl monster alone. Well, you helped, but my point stands."
"Y-Yeah, well..." Tristan started, her eyes darted around again. There was a slight glow in her pale green eyes, which looked like Mana.
"Just like Arthur with his senses, I have exceptional eyes." She explained with a low voice and a serious tone.
"And I see the Mana is restless around here. It's rippling weirdly as if a ritual magic is activating. I don't understand why Arthur let it happen or whether he noticed it or not. After all, he can't sense Mana."
Having said that, it wasn't like there was a clear trace of any magic or Skill getting activated in the room. Even the Royal Guards didn't make any move yet.
But... Someone also noticed the strange ripple in the atmosphere.
"You're right."
A voice called out from the side. Two beautiful people, a female Elf and a male Human, approached them with a concerned look.
Vivian and Cecil knew who the man was and nodded their heads to greet them. Eliza and Tristan also heard about what happened yesterday and recognized him almost immediately, thanks to the Elf's striking resemblance to Milea, except in the chest development.
"The Mana in this room is restless, a sign that someone or a group is preparing a to summon something bad." The female Elf, Mafula, stopped in her tracks. "You have quite a sensitive sense, Young Lady. And your appearance... Are you perhaps a descendant of Elf Village? Alesia?"
That question again. Tristan had heard about it once from the Royal Academy's headmistress. And the fact that the name came out of the Elf's mouth meant that they knew each other.
Unfortunately... Tristan really had no relationship with an Elf.
"I am one hundred percent human."
"I see..." Mafula nodded, "Forgive my rudeness. You just look similar to my sister and... my daughter. I believe that you're acquainted with her?"
"If it's Milea, then yes. Also... It doesn't seem like the time to talk about this." Tristan brushed it off and took out the dagger she hid underneath her skirt. "Mrs..."
"It's Mafula Daxidor." Mafula answered before Tristan continued. "As ambassadors, we can only protect ourselves and not approach the Queen in times of emergency. We will not be able to help you in the end."
"But leave the ladies' safety to me." The man, Cleric, suddenly interjected as an iron sword appeared in his hand, "Hahaha, I will do it as a favor for my son-in-law."
Tristan looked at the man suspiciously, especially when he said son-in-law. However, there was no time to get confused or suspicious as the air suddenly trembled.
Large double doors suddenly appeared, seemingly made of stone, with its rim cracked from chipped by time. A skull of an unknown monster sat on the top of the door, releasing a nasty purple aura from its mouth.
An ominous aura and purple fog gushed out of the door as it slowly opened, revealing a twisted, rippled purple space on the other side of it.
People began to panic and run. The knight beside the Queen stood between her and the door, asking her to quickly leave the area, and she did.
Cleric looked at the center of the party hall and muttered, "Miasma... Young Lady, change of plan. Can you protect the Queen while I fight that stuff? The other, please follow my wife to evacuate. It's not safe here, even for Level 70 individuals."
"Yeah, I can see that," Tristan growled in wariness. "Eli, please follow his instructions.
"Huh?" Eliza raised her voice as she looked at the door.
There was a giant dog with three heads walking out of the ominous door. Purple flames burning brightly on its three heads, glowing ominously as if they were alive.
The giant dog's legs lacked flesh as it was burned by the same flame, leaving only black bones. Each of its steps left a burning flame behind.
"Grrrr!!"
Tristan, who had a lot of experience dealing with monsters back in Horizon Online, immediately used . She didn't want to fight something unknown. And when the result popped up in front of her head... It left her surprised.
"What... Cerberus?!"n(.o-)V-/E-(l.(b-/1-(n
However, someone was already in front of the giant dog and swung down his iron sword that was clad in skill.
"Hap!"
The sword left a blue trail, but it didn't meet its target as the dog already moved behind him.
"Cleric!" Mafula shouted to get his attention.
Looking back after hearing his wife's voice, Cleric saw Cerberus had already raised its paw and brought it down.
"Oh... This is bad."
Bam!
The flame-covered paw bone struck Cleric and blew him away to a pillar, leaving a crack as his body fell to the ground.
Hearing the crack of the pillar, Tristan finally was able to pull herself back.
"Run!" She shouted loudly to the others as she used a quick outfit change. She was now donned in green armor, covering her chest and shoulder pads. It was her strongest armor that increased her defense and AGI.
Mafula nodded and ran first.
"Follow me!"
Cecil, Vivian, and Eliza followed suit almost immediately. They understood that they were useless in this high-Level battle. Judging from Mafula's reaction to not helping her husband, this monster might have had something special that was dangerous for them.
Then, without hesitation, she took out [Yggdrasil Bow] from her inventory, nocked a special arrow into it, and activated her skill.
""
The released arrow flew toward the center of Cerberus' body, leaving an icy trail. When the arrow hit the target, it blossomed into a beautiful ice flower, immobilizing half of Cerberus' body. However, it only damaged it slightly.
'No use. Its defense is too high. And I can't really use strong Skills in this cramped space!' Tristan thought and decided on the best move. That was to support Cleric, a swordsman.
"I will support you from a long-range!" She exclaimed as she activated various buffs she had. She also activated
