Chapter 21 - 17

Princess Aishia is safe and sound without scratching there. The turtle shell-shaped gray barrier protected her from the previous fire spear attack. It wasn't just Erigos who were shocked, even Princess Aishia was very shocked by what happened. She could only look towards her wrist. The bracelet she was wearing shone with gray light. It was the bracelet that protected her from the attack.

"Ziel... Thank you." Princess Aishia muttering softly while shed her tears with a smile.

She was very happy because even if Ziel doesn't exist. But it was the bracelet he gave her that protected her.. She remembered what he said that night 'Will protecting you from danger'.

"Heeeh... You seem to have something interesting that can create a barrier around you." Erigos smiled as he rubbed his chin at the barrier protecting Princess Aishia.

"I don't need to answer demon like you. How dare you do this to the peoples of my kingdom!!!!" Princess Aishia shouted angrily at Erigos. She gritted her teeth while crying at what the person in front of him had done to her kingdom.

"Hahaha... There's something wrong with what you said. First I'm not a demon, I'm a more noble race than that lowly race creature. Secondly, I am Erigos of the 'god domain'. I'm here of course to do my job. Ah, and it's a secret. Because something I'm looking for is in your kingdom. So I have to destroy your kingdom then I can find it."

"What?!! Just because of that did you kill people from my kingdom!!!"

[Spear of Mercury]

Princess Aishia vented all her anger that she had endured all along. Two magic circles were opened, and a faint third cryptic magic circle formed in the middle of Princess Aishia's chest. Dozens of spears from mercury were fired towards Erigos. But Erigos just stood still and laughed.

"Hahaha good... Let's see how powerful your strength is. Show me. After that, I want to see your desperation."

[Fire Wall]

In front of Erigos suddenly appeared a huge wall of fire withstanding the attack from Princess Aishia. Her spear instantly melted when it touched the wall of fire.

"Hahaha... So it's just like this your strength? Then we try how strong your barrier strength is." He laughed as he launched his attack again.

[Thunder Strike!]

Booooooooooooooommmmmmmm...

Dozens of lightning struck the turtle shell barrier. But nothing happened. Princess Aisha was safe and sound inside that shell. Erigos was shocked. He didn't know how strong that barrier was. On the other hand, Princess Aishia was also shocked. At first, he thought the barrier would be destroyed. But the barrier didn't even move in the slightest.

(Ziel... Who are you? You give me item like this easily)

Princess Aishia said in her heart. The more she thought the more she was confused by the true identity of Ziel.

"No way!! Even that barrier didn't move in the slightest?!" Erigos screamed hysterically in disbelief at what he saw.

"Give up you won't be able to break this barrier!!" Princess Aishia said confidently. But in her heart, she didn't know how far this barrier could last.

"Let's see how long your barrier can last." Erigos grinned as he continued to cast his spell.

[Thunder Strike]

[Fire Tower]

Booooooooooooooommmmmmmm...

Erigos instantly let out his two strongest spells continuously. Pillar of fire accompanied by lightning continued to strike Princess Aishia barrier. Even the shaking can be felt around the city. But once again Erigos was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth wide. There princess Aishia's barrier remained intact without the slightest abrasions.

"No way!! What kind of barrier is that!! I've taken out all my strength. But the barrier didn't even move a bit. Isn't that artifact you're holding at least in Saint Rank. Where did this kingdom get it from!" Erigos cried out in disbelief at what he saw.

A full-on attack of Erigos could at least injure a human with a sage or saint level of strength. But the barrier in front of him wasn't even scratched. Erigos could only be angry at it. While Princess Aishia sigh of relief as the barrier wasn't shattered.

"Didn't I tell you before that you can't break this barrier?" She spoke with a smile. She was happy to see Erigos looking frustrated.

"Don't be too confident in yourself chick!!!" Erigos shouted angrily because he felt humiliated by Princess Aishia's smile.

"And now you're angry at not being able to break this barrier? You little guy." Princess Aishia continued to mock him in order to make him even angrier.

"Hehe... do you think that's the only card I have?" Erigos said with an evil smile.

"What do you mean?" Princess Aishia was confused by Erigos who suddenly smiled.

"Bring it here!!" Erigos shouted at his subordinates.

Two winged humans carried a large box covered in cloth. Seeing that Princess Aishia feels a bad feeling.

"What is that?" Princess Aishia subconsciously asked.

"Are you curious about chicks?" Erigos said while teasing Princess Aishia.

Hearing that Princess Aishia's emotions ignited. And the bad feeling in her heart deepened.

"Don't play with me!! What's inside that box!??" Princess Aishia shouted furiously at Erigos.

"Hehehe... Because you're impatient, open the cloth!!" Erigos commanded his subordinates with a laugh.

When the cloth was opened, Princess Aishia's face sank, and the tears flowed from her eyes. Behind the cloth is an iron cage. And in a cage, there were three girls tied to their hands and feet in an unconscious state.
