Chapter 410 Krista Vs Commander!

410 Krista Vs Commander!

High up above the ground, still as could be, the Lioness waited.

With her body lying over a tall tree's branch, none could notice her presence.

Even the natural shine that her eyes usually have had been dimmed.

Protect Master. Wait for Master.

Nothing else matters.

Krista waited, and waited.

She grew accustomed to the darkness she used to fear.

The Lioness waited in the dark.

From time to time, Monsters and horrific Creatures passed below. She did not care. She did not mind.

They couldn't notice her. And she barely noticed them. Because they were inconsequential.

How long had Master been gone for? An hour? Two? The Lioness waited. Without moving, without looking away.

Step- Step- Step-

It walked closer.

Another inconsequential-

"Damn that Zino..."

It talks? Different from the others.

"Going on ahead after bringing me with him. I hate places like these! Fuck! I should just leave... But if he finds me outside later, I'll definitely lose an arm. Why the hell did I have to choose these Generals to follow? If only Lord Charon was still here..."

It walked on two feet. A dark robe covered its whole body, but its face was undoubtedly that of an Ogre. An Ogre's ugliness is hard to forget. Its skin was blue though.

"Please, please, please, don't let me go inside. I've never wanted a Barrier to reject me more than now." The cloaked being whispered, before reaching forward.

Pierce-

"ARGHHHH!! WHAT THE FUCK??!! GAAAAA!!" He screamed and screamed as an Ice Spike had suddenly pierced his hand before it could reach the Barrier.

The Ogre-like Monster immediately turned around.

"WHO DARES ATTACK A COMMANDER OF WRATH?? SHOW YOURSELF!!"

The Commander pulled the Ice Spike out of his hand and vigilantly looked around.

Whatever had launched the attack had already moved.

The next second, a second Ice Spike approached.

This time, it came from above!

'Ice Manipulation...? This one holds much more-'

The Ice Spike pierced the ground, landing exactly between the Commander and the Barrier.

Immediately, the Freezing Mana spread, creating a wall of ice along the Barrier.

The Commander of Wrath chuckled internally.

'Thank god... This should be good enough an excuse not to enter.' The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Hidden a dozen meters away, Krista stared, slightly confused.

This Commander is different from the others.

The Moonlit Feline couldn't help but instinctively think that he was weaker and more cowardly than the other two Commanders it had seen.

Protect Master. Don't let him go inside and take Master by surprise.

With those objectives, Krista had no reason to attack further.

That was the case until the Commander gave her a reason.

His right hand moved towards his waist, while his left hand started quickly healing.

The whip approached the Lioness' body and,

PHOOOO-

A blinding light! Krista's move had three objectives.

'Shit-'

Having been plunged in total darkness for a while, the Commander's eyes had more than acclimated to it. The sudden burst of light made him feel like his retinas were burning!

The whip has already been swung though, it simply takes longer to complete its trajectory than a sword would. Blinding the Commander has no effect on the incoming hit!

But unbeknownst to the Commander, the Lioness wasn't a Lioness anymore, but a Cat!

The target was much smaller now.

But that's the issue with the Commander swinging only one of his whips! Had he swung both, one would have been aimed at the upper portion of the Lioness' body, while the other would have been aimed at the lower portion. Krista thought this way of attacking would have been the most logical, as it decreased the chance of the attack being dodged by covering more distance! This would have allowed the smaller Cat to simply pass through the space left open between the two!

No time to think!

Ice Manipulation-

A layer of ice covered the white-furred cat.

The right timing is necessary!

Remember the way Elisa moves. Just when it's about to come into contact... Spin with the attack!

'Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Shit. Shit. Shit.' The Commander cursed internally. No matter the difference in Stats, if blinded and unable to see then-

Drops of blood landed on the Commander's shoulder.

He immediately turned around, a desperate smile on his face.

'Behind me! It hit!'

The whip had indeed hit.

The Commander thought that an unmoving and dying Moonlit Feline would fall beyond him, but that wasn't the case.

With a large wound on her back, Krista's paws approached the ground!

Levi wouldn't have been hurt by this. Light could have let the whip pass through him. Elisa's movement and timing would have been perfect, allowing her to-

None of that matters now.

The Moonlit Feline's paws touched the ground and, immediately, a huge portion of its Mana was used.

The Ice quickly spread, closing the distance.

'Shit!'

A thick layer covered the ground, and the Commander's legs!

"What the fuck is..." He shouted, covered in Ice up to his waist. The cold and the previous attacks that had been launched at him allowed the blinded Commander to realize that it was Ice hindering his movement.

Krista's move had three objectives.

She rapidly turned around, moved outside the area that had been made barren, and climbed up the closest tree.

Objective 1: Blind the Commander.

Objective 2: Dodge the Commander's attack by decreasing her size.

The third objective quickly let itself be known.

"No, no, NO!" The Commander shouted, feeling the vibrations and the trembling of the earth.

Growl! Screech! Growl! Screech!

From above the tree, the Moonlit Feline watches, silently licking its wound, as the Creatures of the Night approach, alarmed by the Light that had pierced through the forest's darkness.

A paragraph comment has been added to the chapter title "Laylah" with a picture of the character in question!

Should I make a new discord server where I can share all the pictures at once? It would be nice to be able to discuss things too.

Also, happy new year. Sorry for being late and away. Adam_K47xx
