Chapter 154: Chapter 154
Arthur's Point of View
Reed Farmstead
To my surprise, Elincia merely grabbed my arm as I tried to leave. "We do not know who is here, but they are clearly Demons. My sister will have noticed this barrier being erected and will be sending aid." Then she gestured to everyone in the house. "Our duty should be to make sure no one here gets hurt."
Letting go of my arm allowed me to gesture to her. "That's why I said put up a shield while I go greet our guests. After all, we wouldn't want to come across as rude."
"Then I shall accompany you. Maintaining a shield will be simple while I aid you." The Priestess replied. The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin
"Whatever you say." My shrug got her to smile as a shield engulfed the house. "Let's go."
Elincia looked back to Cassidy. "Keep everyone inside this shield, my student. You will be safe here."
Cassidy moved forward. "Ah can help!"
"No!" She said firmly. "Your training is one thing, but Demons are another. Stay here."
I watched the short exchange over my shoulder before Elincia turned to me and nodded. The two of us exited the house to see a clear white shield covering the home. With that out of the way, I looked around the farm to see several red specks in hiding. Dozens of them were present, and it appeared all of them were Ghouls.
"By not nearly enough," I informed her as she looked down at me. "You know I massacred several groups of yours before, right?" She didn't respond. "I don't know who sent you here to die, but I'm not going to complain. Just means less of you I need to kill later." Stopping my mocking stretch routine, I continued. "However, I will be asking a few of you some questions."
"Kill him!" She bellowed.
Magic spells all launched in an instant. All of which were homed in on me. Arrows rained down upon me while others rushed in after the spells to cut me down. However, much like I did with the Leviathan, I decided to try out my defensive capabilities again.
All the spells that were heading for me were redirected back at the casters. At the same time, the physical combatants were now lying face down in the grass. Gravity Pillars surrounded my body, and when they got close enough, they quickly ate dirt. With a nonchalant attitude that would likely disturb those watching, I pulled Defiance from my back and started killing the few that lay near my feet.
Stabbing them was simple but effective. "Stab. Stab." I repeated before one tried to get up. "Slit." The mud Ghoul seeped forward and was quickly flattened out. "Does stabbing do anything to you?"
More magic attacks, along with others, rushed me. "He can't kill all of us!"
"That sounds like a challenge!" I roared out.
"Attack!" Some Ghoul ordered.
The one issuing orders quickly found itself in my grasp as I opened a portal and pulled it through. It struggled for a moment before beheading it, which fell upon the bodies of its companions.
"Fuck your face and the head it's attached to." I said simply before dropping the body.
Other Ghouls continued their foolish attacks as more started to attack Elincia's shield. No doubt hoping that breaking it would give them some manner of advantage over me. To my surprise, a magic blast erupted from behind me and slammed into several Ghouls that were trying to reach me. Elincia strolled out with several magic blades floating in the air around us.
"Mind if I join you?" My former student inquired.
