Chapter 61 Unexpected Reinforcement
"Arrggghhh!" Nathan screamed in pain while holding his right arm. The cracking sound of his bone somehow rang in his ear as his arm had stopped responding to him.
"If that kind of pain is enough to immobilize you, the alien can easily take you down, Junior!" When Noelle was about to jump forward, Fenrir and Anubis surrounded her from two sides.
This time, Fenrir struck the blade, stopping its movement for a second. Anubis shot the bandages at her sword.
Noelle tilted its body backward to avoid them, but the bandage's true target was actually her sword.
Now that both Fenrir and Anubis had gotten a hold of the sword, they slammed it down to the ground.
Still, Anubis had only used his bandages. He could still use his mouth to bite Noelle.
Sadly for him, Noelle skillfully kicked him from the side, forcing Anubis to use his paw to slap it away. He lost in terms of strength and was forced to land a bit to the side.
Because the sword was planted on the ground, both Fenrir and Anubis had another chance to attack.
Noelle had no hesitation in letting go of her sword for a second. After that, she pulled her arm and punched forward, causing a shock wave made of Ena.
"Waaf!" Fenrir barked to neutralize it while Anubis opened his jaw wide.
Noelle caught Anubis' neck and tossed him away. However, Fenrir opened a path not only for Anubis but also for Nathan, who succeeded in enduring the pain.
He shot Noelle three times in rapid succession, but Noelle simply put her arm in the trajectory, the Ena covering her arm acting like a gauntlet.
Fenrir bit this arm, but his jaw strength was actually not enough to penetrate this Ena. It felt like there was metal circling around her arm.
Noelle's strength was actually enough to pick up her blade, even with Fenrir still attached to her arm.
Fenrir used his own body as a weight to push her aim down as she released the same sword strike as earlier.
Nathan jumped without Fenrir telling him about it, the sword strike passing right underneath his shoes and hitting the ground, leaving a deep slit hole. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hence, Noelle nodded her head. "What is it?"
"You should have held back quite a lot, right? Even though you are using all your techniques, the amount of Ena and physical strength you exert don't truly reflect your current situation, right? How much stronger are you in your full strength?"
"Ten times, perhaps."
"Without your familiars?"
"Yeah."
Nathan couldn't help but smile. "I see."
"You're strong, Junior. I'm sure that you will get stronger from now on. However, you are too full of yourself. Experience this setback so that you understand the meaning of losing... It's much better than losing against a real alien."
"Lose?" Nathan chuckled.
"What's funny?"
Nathan smirked, still filled with confidence. "Nah, I'd win."
Noelle's eyebrows twitched. Nathan's confidence, despite the clear result, was indeed disappointing. Noelle waved her sword down while saying, "It seems that I have misjudged you, Junior. It's a bit disappointing, but this is farewell."
"!!!" Suddenly, Noelle's instinct picked up a presence on the right side. She stopped her swing and placed the sword next to her.
The wave of Ena that struck her sword somehow exploded upon impact.
Bam!
Even Nathan could feel the shock wave produced by that burst of Ena. Moreover, that attack actually pushed Noelle back. Even though she wasn't prepared for that attack, Noelle was still much stronger than any freshmen.
Nathan and Noelle turned their heads to see who actually produced such an attack.
Nathan's heart sank when he saw Selena walking with a dark expression, her eyes emitting bloodlust as though she was determined to kill Noelle.
