Chapter 95 - The appetizers (4)

Expecting that what Amandla had said would provoke a violent reaction from their opponents, Lazar started to walk slowly towards them, blade in his right hand, sheath in the left one, ready to cut into anything he would encounter...

But before he had a chance to cut into anything and the fake soldiers in front of him had the time to reveal completely what they really were by transforming, Giulia stepped between him and them with her arms spread wide open.

Curious to know what kind of bullshit she was going to invent to try to dissuade him and Amandla from attacking her and her comrades while he was seeing the eyes of several of them illuminated in yellow for the majority and in orange for the rest, Lazar stopped in his impulse to leave the time to Giulia to speak...

The latter made the most of the time Lazar had voluntarily given her to think and after a few seconds during which both sides were staring at each other with anticipation and in which she was probably wondering if what she was going to say was coherent given the indecision on her face, she finally opened her mouth, "I-It's a misunderstanding and if you g-give me time to explain why to you then I-I think I can make you see the situation f-from our point of view." She stammered as she raised her trembling arms in peace.

Still wanting to know how inventive she was going to be in trying to get out of this mess, Lazar was unexpectedly open to discussion, "Go ahead, we're listening." He answered her with a relaxed voice before loosening his grip on the handle of his weapon on purpose.

At first visibly shocked that Lazar would give her a chance to express herself, Giulia didn't waste the chance he gave her and spoke again in a much more confident voice, "This morning, around 6 am..." She started to say before being cut off by someone who was more interested in seeing her bleed than hearing her speak from what Lazar knew...

*Cough*

*Cough*

After she coughed all eyes turned to Amandla, having probably realized that she wasn't going to be as 'understanding' as Lazar given what she had done to her, Giulia then proceeded to lick her ȧss to try to appease her, "Madam, I apologize for what happened yesterday, I-I..." She started to say with a soft voice full of false remorse before realizing like everyone else that Amandla wasn't at all receptive to her apology as indicated by the 2 arrows she had just made appear in her left hand as well as her sadistic smile that was showing how much she wanted to spill blood.

Seeing that he couldn't contain her any longer, Lazar shrugged his shoulders then released the beast, "Have fun, but remember not to show too much, on my side I will take care of those who will get too close." He told Amandla aloud without dreading what Giulia and her group would think upon hearing him since when he had hinted that he wanted to fight he had seen Giulia panic.

Lazar having at last said that she could attack, Amandla didn't hesitate and notched the two arrows she had made appear as fast as possible to keep the surprise effect, her first target was for her an obvious one but she was going to make sure to only hurt her if she had the chance...

She wanted Giulia to suffer before killing her because like that she would record in a radical way before her last breath that when she had tried to kill her she shouldn't have missed.

Thinking that Giulia would try to transform herself as her comrades were doing, or at least that she would try to run away as the rather fearful behavior she had displayed so far might suggest, Amandla was almost disappointed to see that she was in fact still trying to prevent the fight when it was clearly too late for that...

"Wait, calm down! No need to..." Giulia shouted with her arms outstretched toward Lazar and Amandla before two arrows swept them away.

Amandla's smile widened, not because of the notifications she received but because she was seeing the look of pure shock on Giulia's face when the latter looked down and saw the stumps she now had instead of her arms, 'That's what I want to see.' She told herself enjoying what she was witnessing while waiting impatiently for the adrenaline rush Giulia was experiencing to stop so that she could start to feel the pain, which didn't take long to happen...

As soon as blood started to come out of her stumps in abundant streams, Giulia became fully aware of what had just happened and her reaction was as violent as what had just been inflicted on her, "KILL THAT BITCH!" She ordered, screaming with a voice full of anger and pain without averting her gaze from her stumps.

Amandla having seriously wounded Giulia as well as hit two Ganipotes who were right in the path of the 2 arrows she had shot, the 12 Ganipotes behind Giulia who were still in a state to fight had a backward movement, clearly intimidated by what had happened and especially by the fact that it had happened in a fraction of a second...

However, being who they were, the love they had for their pack members took over and they ran towards Lazar and Amandla with a clear dėsɨrė to tear them apart in their eyes as soon as they heard Giulia's order.

Their uniforms ripped off one after the other and by the time the first Ganipote got within 15 meters of Lazar, they were all completely transformed.

Of course, Amandla didn't let the Ganipotes get closer to Lazar without inflicting them a few more casualties by firing an arrow here and there, reducing their number from 12 to 6 in the meantime...

And although it could have been 0 if she had been serious, as Lazar said before, she shouldn't show too much so he also had to do his part, not that he was going to complain since he wanted to see what he was worth without using the Dark Slash...
