Chapter 122: Chapter 9: Warmaiden Ikumi [3]

Lancelot approached rapidly, his body filled with rage upon seeing the state of Vema and a few of the frost hares behind Ikumi, his body crackling with either about to attack the twin-headed ogre mage with a bloody body.

"Stop!"

A hoarse, feminine voice sounded as Ikumi's thick white rabbit foot stomped on the ground, cracking the earth, before spinning her body and kicking it towards the Mage with a loud bang.

The Mage lifted both arms, holding a staff and club as a wall of ice formed, blacking the shards of the earth with a resounding bang, her force cracking the ice barrier.

However, the rocks were now off-target and smashed into the wall behind the Ogre.

Ikumi turned her head towards the demonic Lancelot before stunning him with the powerful aura pulsating around her soft, creamy skin, an icy blue ether wrapping around her entire body as she glared at him with ruby eyes.

"Master, please do not get involved. This is Ikumi's fight, Ikumi's battle!"

His eyes watched her for a few moments, holding the twin-headed Ogre in place using his Ether while stepping forward and looking at the battered Ikumi with a wry smile.

"Are you sure?"

"Mmm."

"Can you win?"

"Don't know!"

"Is it fun?"

"Very!"

With a nod, Lancelot stepped beside her and began to carry the wounded hares, including Vema, out of the combat area, his eyes looking around at the huge number of troops wrapped around the battlefield.

"Don't interfere. This is Ikumi and the Frost Hare's fight."

Now remaining was Ikumi and ten other hares, who were all archers.

Lancelot stopped beside Ikumi as the orge Mage looked about, ready to explode in anger from being held in place by the powerful magic power.

Looking at Ikumi's bloody face, her messy hair yet those brightly shining eyes, like red gemstones glistening in the scorching sun.

He gently kissed her forehead, wanting to give her some support.

"Win, Ikumi, prove yourself stronger."

"I believe in you, so come back to me."

His whisper entered her sensitive ears, causing them to flap side to side joyfully as Lancelot stepped back towards the other frost hares and turned towards the Ogre, pointing his finger directly at the twin-headed ogre mage.

Releasing it from the binding as now the only targets in his range were Ikumi and her sisters of battle.

'She won't realise I cheated a little and gave them a large dose of Ether.'

Lancelot smiled as he stood beside Morgana, who watched with passionate eyes.

"You gave her and those girls quite a lot of Ether, even the fainted and dying ones. They are so tired and worn out they didn't realise their power, and levels just jumped over a dozen."

"I don't see why I would let my cute girls get hurt more; this much is fair."

He then looked at Morgana, realising for the first time that she was speaking with her lips, not in his mind. Maybe she realised too as they looked at each other with shock.

*Bang!*

She watched Lancelot leave, her red eyes narrowed, feeling his trust in her had given her a second wind, and even the exhausted girls behind her felt the same.

'I know he probably did something to help... but that's fine.'

Ikumi inhaled deeply, focusing on the ogre mage and four heavily armoured ogres with clubs as thick as human bodies and capable of turning her or sisters into meat paste if struck.

'We only have ten archers left.'

"Spread out, don't engage them and focus on following me up if you can. Try to use magic instead of your bows."

Since the battle drew on, Ikumi stopped using a sword or spear as they broke. Now, her hands work the black metal gauntlets and greaves that Lancelot bought her as a gift from the Lord catalogue when she helped him clear the forest in the past.

'I need to keep the mage focused on me and the warriors away from them.'

Ikumi's thighs began to tense, her muscles bulging as she launched her body into the air. Her eyes closed for a moment as she took a deep breath, closing the gap between herself and the Ogre in a flash, appearing in front of the Mage before its eyes could adjust as her right leg snapped forward towards its face like a stone-encrusted whip.

Instantly before impact, the air around Ikumi froze, creating an icy aura that coated her entire leg in ice; with a loud bang, the Mage blocked Ikumi's kick using its huge club, but the ground beneath its feet shattered from the heavy blow, sending a tremor of icy wind through the ogre mage and surrounding Ogre guards.

Small blades of ice, which looked like miniature versions of Lancelot's blades, exploded out from her kick, tearing the flesh of all five ogres as she flung backwards before pointing forward, "Shoot them!"

In the background, Morgana whispered into Lancelot's ears, her voice causing his body to tremble with the sensual and alluring tone. "Oh my, it seems you are loved. That attack has "I love Lancelot" all over it. Fufu, what a lovely growth she's had without us noticing."

"Ah... It's amazing; I never told or taught her this way of fighting... it's almost like a martial arts only for Frost Hares and their extremely powerful legs."

Ikumi took a breather, stretching her legs before a volley of arrows and ice lances zoomed over her head, one almost penetrating her soft ears as they whistled past her.

Each arrow or ice lance hit vital parts of the Ogres except the Mage, whose flaming defence melted the projectiles into harmless droplets.

Ikumi landed on her feet, crouching low as she kicked forward again, flying like a bullet towards the Mage as its dual heads growled, her body spinning, sending several kicks towards the Mage's abdomen, her eyes filled with determination to take advantage as there was only the Mage left!

BOOM!!

Each kick exploded with icy wind, ripping the Mage's clothes to shreds, revealing its robust and scarred body that seemed to have lived a lifetime of strife and suffered many injuries in the previous assault.

Ikumi kept attacking relentlessly, dodging the Mage's club and swinging wide towards her head, moving fluidly as she bounced on her feet; one of her kicks tore open flesh wounds while protecting herself as best as possible.

BOOM!!!

Her final kick cracked the Mage's thick ribs, staggering its huge frame as it roared angrily, flames exploding from one head as Ikumi spun, landing on her right leg, lifting her left high as mana gathered, forming icy claws extending from her toes with three nails on each foot.

SLASH!!

Blood erupted from the Ogre mage as Ikumi slashed diagonally; a line of blood bloomed from the Mage's side as its eyes widened, one head reaching to defend with a flaming barrier protecting one side of its body as the other swung wildly at Ikumi with a stone club.

BOOOOOM!!!!

The icy wind scattered from Ikumi's leg as it collided with the Mage's fiery shield, but the wounds from her axe-like kick left one of the heads now bleeding profusely from the neck and chest; the next moment, she was smashed in the side by the stone club.

"Argh!!"

"Ugh... my chest..."

Ikumi tumbled across the bloody battlefield, bouncing and rolling several times before sliding on her face, blood dripping from her lips as her rib cage ached like someone smashing a hammer inside her chest.

She pushed up with shaky arms, wiping blood from her eyes as she glared hatefully at the Mage, which was now heavily injured, missing an eye as it pointed towards Ikumi, roaring like a beast.

"Ungok! Shaal Vest! Mett!"

"Haha... haa.... fuck you too." Ikumi's vulgar words made Lancelot chuckle in the back while observing the growth of his captain and realising Ikumi deserved better from him.

"Ikumi truly showed how strong and feminine she has become. I think it's time Lancelot rewards her!" Morgana whispered into his ear while licking the back softly, leaving goosebumps on his flesh as his body shivered with pleasure.

Back in the arena, the battle was near the end, both sides worn out, but the Ogre seemed closer to the edge; his left side seemed limp, only holding the stone mace and dropping the staff as it stepped forward, no longer casting big spells.

Ikumi charged forward, ignoring the intense pain from her ribs; she leapt forward, one leg stamping into the bloody earth while using the other to kick towards the Mage's remaining head, another icy vortex gathering as blades of ice formed around her leg as her leg snapped, causing her foot to slash viciously.

In desperation, the Mage fired countless barrages of arcane missiles that shot towards the ten hares in the distance, raining down on them as they dodged and leapt around, taking damage from the blunt magic bolts.

SLICE!!

Fresh blood sprayed as Ikumi cut through the Mage's neck effortlessly; both heads fell to the ground with dead eyes as the Mage fell backwards, blood spurting like a fountain as it gurgled, trying to speak before it died with lifeless eyes.

Ikumi fell forward, gasping loudly, crawling weakly before falling sideways as Lancelot rushed over with Morgana floating above, stopping all others from moving, her eyes fixated on the pair now embracing each other, a warm smile on her face.

"My cute little sister, you did so well. Big sister will care for everything."

"So you can just enjoy the rewards."
