Chapter 188 - 187 – Stains.

The armor's shield was hit again by Isabell's sword, causing her shield to crack even more. Isabell's magic that was activated also crashed into the armor's shield and caused a small explosion.

Not to be caught in the explosion, Isabell had pulled back a little.

The armor shield was increasingly damaged and the armor looked nervous. Using his arms that come off your back, he tried to grab Isabell while inching toward her.

But Isabell used the sword of light to cut the oncoming arms.

Armor's arms were cut and the pieces fell to the ground and disappeared. The armor, not caring about it, deactivated her protection and swung its sword toward Isabell again.

The girl managed to follow these movements and used her sword to stop his attack.

But without paying attention to the armor's feet, a surprise kick hit her.

Isabell who had her protection disabled was hit with full force. The kick had reached right in her stomach, making Isabell stop breathing.

If she hadn't already vomited all the food that was in her stomach, surely she would have vomited now.

'This is painful.' She thought as she tried to breathe.

Isabell felt a little dizzy from the lack of oxygen. But not caring, the armor came closer again as used his sword to try and cut Isabell. 

But she would not allow herself to be hit again.

Even dizzy, she activated her shield and then jumped back.

But the armor didn't stop chasing her. At high speed, he crashed into Isabell's protection. Her strength was greater than before, so Isabell was thrown back and her protection was broken.

'Damn,' Isabell screamed in her mind as she noticed the armor's sword approaching her stomach.

The armor wanted to pierce Isabell's stomach, but unfortunately, it wasn't possible. At the last moment, Isabell used her sword to deflect the armor's sword as she walked away.

The armor swept past Isabell and then turned again swung her sword toward the girl's neck.

Again, Isabell raised her sword and blocked the sword from the armor. Her hands were shaking, she felt she was at a disadvantage here.

Before, she had felt confident, but for some reason, the strength of the armor had increased dramatically.

'But even though your strength has increased, my magic seems to be damaging him.' Isabell noticed that every time the armor's sword collided with hers, the color of the armor's sword was getting weaker.

It was as if his sword was being "Cleaned" by Isabell's sword.

The 'Evil Power' was dispersing in the air.

'My magic gives me the advantage, but his physical strength is superior.' She thought as she took another attack from the armor and blocked it. But not wanting to remain defensive, Isabell decided to attack.

Every time the armor sword came towards her, she also swung her sword rapidly. And so a high-speed exchange of blows began.

But it continued for only a few seconds.

Quickly the exchange of blows had to be interrupted as the armor's sword had been broken into pieces, disappearing into thin air.

The armor that noticed this tried to create another sword, but for some reason, it was not succeeding. Isabell with a serious expression took this opportunity to advance towards the armor.

Breaking the ground and putting all her strength into just one attack, Isabell approached the armor in less than 1 second.

The armor that was almost 10 meters away was surprised, but still managed to activate its shield.

Isabell noticed this but swung her sword as hard as she could, causing a great burst of light. The armor's shield began to tremble and he backed away a little startled.

Its shield trembled wildly until it began to crack.

Cracks appeared and Isabell smiled at the armor and kept her sword leaning against the shield the armor had created.

Isabell's sword was glowing even brighter than before as if she was putting all her magic there.

And after three seconds, a loud sound of splinters falling to the ground was reproduced as the shield disappeared into thin air.

The armor that tried to create another protection didn't have time to react when a new swing from Isabell's sword hit her left shoulder.

He had tried to use his arms to protect herself, but Isabell's sword cut through his body like it was paper.

Her sword hit the arms of the armor, making them fall to the ground, and then also hit her shoulder. Isabell's blade continued to descend and cut through the body of the armor easily.

The body of the armor had been opened wide, and along with it, its core had been cut in half.

The armor, not believing it had lost, began to give off a sinister black aura that made Isabell back away. Feeling that sinister aura touching her skin, Isabell realized that something was wrong.

'I need to stop this aura of him or we will have problems.' She thought as she approached the armor again and created a protection 20 meters in diameter, like a dome.

The aura was trapped inside the dome as the armor trembled uncontrollably. Luckily Isabell's body seemed quite resistant to this, but even so, some black spots were being created on her skin.

In addition, a pain like a needlestick bothered her where the stains appeared.

But she didn't leave there. She kept her magic activated all the time until the aura disappears completely along with the body of the armor, which, unlike other armor, had not turned to earth.

He had turned into that sinister aura.

Also, a purple stone was left in the same place where the armor was previously.

####

Isabell, who felt tired after all that, undid her sword and then fell to the ground. She couldn't stand upright at the moment, she felt tired, thirsty, hungry, it was like she had been traveling in a desert for years.

"Damn, I think I overreacted," she said as she lay down on the floor and then looked at her hands and arms. Several black stains had appeared, and it hurt so much, it was like a burn.

Her skin looked like it had 'rotted'.

It wasn't a very pleasant sight, so Isabell didn't want to look long.

"It hurts, but I at least managed to finish this... Hahaha." She started to laugh as she looked up at the sky. It was cloudy, it looked like a storm was coming. Isabell already felt a few drops of rain falling on her.

She continued lie down for long minutes while looking up at the sky and ignoring all her injuries and sounds around her, she just wanted to rest.

It was a silence she liked. After battles like this, Isabell liked to be in a quiet environment and reflect on her battles.

"But I can't stay here, I have to go back and treat these wounds, they aren't healing." Isabell sat down on the floor and looked down at her arms and legs. The spots didn't seem to be healing even though she had her blessing activated.

Seeing that there was no point in keeping her blessing active, she turned it off. And right then, she got up with a little difficulty.

Isabell felt the rain grow even harder as she trudged down the street. Her legs, arms, head, everything was sore, she just wanted to lie down and sleep for a whole day.

'Hm?' But as she walked in the street, she felt something strange coming to her.

It was like the feeling before, when she was being affected by the aura of the armor.

"?!" Not understanding what was happening, she looked around desperately afraid that another armor had appeared, but had no one around.

No, there were two people, but something strange happened.

They began to cough violently as they fell to the ground unconscious.

"Hey, are you guys okay?" But the worried Isabell, who approached the two people, couldn't help noticing spots that appeared on their bodies.

'Were they affected by the previous aura?' No, Isabell knew she hadn't let the aura slip, it wouldn't make sense.

'So maybe there are some monsters around here?' Isabell got on guard again and looked around, but found nothing.

Even worried, Isabell continued beside the two people.

They didn't look dead, but they looked worse and worse, the stains on their bodies were growing.

'MOM! MOM! WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING? I DIDN'T KILL ALL THE ARMORS?!' Isabell screamed in her mind and waited for her mother's response, but the response she received was not what she expected.

[ Get out of there immediately, get out of the capital! ]

Her mom wasn't yelling but she looked very nervous. Isabell heard those words not knowing exactly what was going on, hadn't she managed to defeat all the armors?

Everything should have ended.

[ GET OUT! IF YOU ARE AFFECTED BY THIS, I CANNOT BRING YOU BACK! DID YOU UNDERSTAND?! ]

Isabell had never seen her mother so nervous before.

With an expression of panic, Isabell left the two dead bodies behind and ran out of the capital.

She also noticed something.

'The stains all over my body are increasing.'
