The Noble Lady of Lust

Chapter 249: Escape(5)

BOOMMM!

The impact resounded and shook the surroundings. Worst of all, they were still in one of the most inhabited areas of the city.

Luckily, Number Two had worked with the informant organization and other factions to evacuate them, with the excuse that it was because of human encroachment, before starting this escape.

numer two, mainly made sure to empty their possible escape routes. She didn’t have to worry about that, but the fact that those demons had no qualms about causing civilian casualties made her realize something.

They didn’t care about the consequences and were willing to sacrifice a lot for Kiel.

What had attacked her was a wyvern... and not just one. She counted twelve. That attack had been a joint bombardment.

She had not noticed them, because she had not expected an air attack at that time.

Remembering what she had seen, Number One, she had seen many of these to defend the invasion, and they were something that surprised them.

Number two had been asking for information, from what he now believed to be unreliable informants, of the lord and at no time did they say lord city had air squadrons.

They did not know he had an air squadron of his own, but even so when she saw them over the wall, she did not think they would divert them here, she believed guys in soul conversion range would be enough of a distraction.

”Fuck!!, there’s a fucking invasion, what’s their obsession with Kiel ?”

What she didn’t know was that, noting how difficult it was to deal She, Eryk had asked the lord dk had asked the city lord to send more reinforcements, as they might lose their important guest.

The latter agreed and sent the fastest and most powerful troops, even if it meant being at a disadvantage in the siege.

But when seraphina stopped for a moment to reflect, she thought about it and it wasn’t all in vain everything Number One did.

If she thought about it, even though more and more were coming, they were only using a small part of the city’s elite to pursue her and she wasn’t taking them all on by herself.

But that didn’t change the fact that she was in a difficult situation. She realized that if she continued to be stingy with her resources and mana, she could find herself in an increasingly worse situation, she needed to act fast to escape quickly.

”Telum Lux Vinculum. ”

Using the previous tactic again, she decided to act fast before more reinforcements arrived, not to mention that Eryk was already so close that his arrows were becoming more and more constant.

Quickly, she launched the harpoon towards the wyvern and, repeating what she did before, pierced its chest.

For a creature that was easily the size of a truck, this could not have been lethal, but her goal was to get to where they were, and the chain that pulled her up made her reach their height immediately.

She stood firmly on a platform of light and....

”Qetesh.”

At Seraphina’s signal, Qetesh, who had more control over the Legacy weapon, stopped assimilating it with his gloves and returned to its form of a sleek golden spear, with intricate patterns.

The reason was to make the next move more effective .

”ART OF LUST!!!, SIXTH STANCE: EUPHORIC ONSLAUGHT!!!!.”

As she finished shouting, she swung his spear with all his might downward, thrusting it into nothingness, without a target in mind . What happened next left everyone present speechless.

FWOOOSH!—SHHHK! SHNK! SHNK!—THWACK!!

Immediately, multiple ghostly spears, identical to Seraphina’s, appeared out of nowhere and impaled all the riders in the back.

Not only that, the ghost spears also appeared and hit key points of the wyverns, such as the eyes and the connection between their wings.

Once he saw that he had incapacitated the twelve wyverns along with their riders, he had no time to celebrate.

The spear fused with her gloves again, but she was focused on what was in front of her and realized that this was not over.

Immediately, she pulled a scroll from her storage. It was one of the most powerful offensive artifacts. She aimed it and channeled some mana.

The reason was that, now with more height, she could see that more wyverns were heading towards her location, and she could no longer be stingy or she would be overwhelmed and surrounded.

”Fuck you bastards...”

She was also angry that inadvertently her attention had been diverted and she had let the assassins escape and now they were chasing her doppelgänger.

Immediately, a large amount of lightning shot out, heading towards the more than two dozen wyverns and riders .

THRA-KRAK-KRAK-KRAK-KABOOM!!!

Some of the riders seemed to be mages, as they conjured up defenses, and could barely hold their own in a coordinated defense, after all they were trained elites, to fight even stronger people, but the attack was not over.

Seraphina quickly activated another scroll and, this time, several water bullets formed.

WHIFF-WHIFF-WHIFF-WHIFF!

They looked like single drops, but in an instant they accelerated to a speed impossible to follow with the naked eye, piercing and piercing several of the wyverns and their riders.

fwoooosh!!

She didn’t forget to dodge the arrow that was still stalking her. Or rather...

”I’ve had enough of you, you son of a bitch. Let’s see if this is your size.”

This time she didn’t pull out a scroll, but a medallion with a spell engraved on it. Like the previous two It was an extremely powerful but single-target one, capable of even wounding those who had reached the soul conversion stage.

Among the remaining four attack artifacts of this level that she possessed, she chose this particular one to give that bastard a taste of his own medicine.

The medallion was destroyed and the metal arrow appeared from the magic circle it formed.

FWOOOOSHH!!!

Streaking through the air at a disconcerting speed, much faster than the ones her enemy was launching.

Eryk seemed to have good instincts, however, as he tried to dodge it at the last moment.

Even so, it did not fully succeed, the arrow tore a chunk out of his side, Seraphina was sorry she couldn’t finish him off but thought she would at least get rid of the harassing arrows now.

Now with nothing to harass her and with the rest of the Wyver squadrons still at a considerable distance, she finally had margin to run away.

She couldn’t waste any more time. Now that she had more freedom of movement, she turned on her heels and began to run with the help of the platforms, towards her lair .

”Art of Radiance, Fourth Stance: Refraction Nodes; Art of Lust, Fifth Stance: Tempting Torrent. ”

Imitating her doppelgänger, she activated the fourth stance and, immediately, the fifth stance of two different arts consecutively to their maximum power.

Fwooosh!!

The momentum, like a projectile, propelled her towards his lair and thanks to the fact thats he had gained height, she was faster, shortening his path considerably by the time she reached the ground.

Coincidentally at that moment she saw her doopelganger who was fleeing and maneuvering to get rid of the assassins who were doggedly following her ...

’good, take care of them.’

’okey!’

What she was referring to was the new Aereos squadron that caught up with him in a matter of seconds, again she regretted that she did not have a fast mount.

Not only that, he could also see how in the Weyver in addition to the riders, more assassins, wizards and knights of eight metamorphoses, were.

It was clear that they were bent on stopping her. There was no doubt that Eryk, even though he was wounded, was communicating in real time with the lord of the city so that he would continue sending reinforcements and stronger and stronger.

If Seraphina delayed any longer, she would be in serious trouble.

Now, the two Seraphina crossed paths and both had the demonization activated, they were practically identical, causing confusion in both pursuers who hesitated as to what to do.

They did not mind the confusion and without wasting time, number two did the same as Seraphina before and conjured a harpoon, she was slower in creating it without the affinities.

But the important thing is that when they got close enough it worked for her to get closer to the aerial enemies who did not know who to pay attention to between the two identical demonesses.

while Seraphina watched the three remaining assassins.

what did she do?

Obviously, she sped up and passed them by. She returned the favor they had done her earlier, making them think she would attack, but she simply dodged them.

There was no need to waste time on them.

”HAHAAHA!!.See you in hell!!!. [!!! SUPREME SACRIFICE ART: FINAL SURRENDER STANCE - ULTIMATE OBLITERATION.!!!!motthherfukeraaAAAAAA!!!...]”

BOOOOMMM!!!!!!

Seraphina heard her Doppelgange number two behind her, screaming at the top of her lungs as she self-destructed, well she can’t blame her, apparently she was under a lot of stress lately .

She self-destructed without hesitation, to buy them time against that squadron of wyverns who were fast and starting to get on their heels.

’Whew!~, that felt great. I feel like my stress is gone, we should do that more often.’

At last, number two was free of that unsatisfied body and she was relieved, but it seemed that Serafina could awaken a dangerous taste.

But leaving that aside, Seraphina still had thirty percent of her mana ready for attack and defense spells.

Now she had a second thought in her body and could delegate tasks such as casting healing spells on her also damaged legs and insides for performing several arts at the same time.

..

.

”Almost there...Fine!!!”

Bang!!

She finally stepped into the hole her doppelganger had made, finally entering the range that allowed her to use space artifacts. Shepulled the teleportation scroll from its storage and quickly began to infuse it with mana.

It would activate in a matter of seconds, like the other scrolls. And she would finally get out of there.

Barely three minutes had passed since she stole Akihara’s bed, but it seemed that time passed too slowly with her enhanced mind.

Immediately, she felt was on the verge of succeeding. The house was now hidden, which would give her time to activate the scroll.

But at that precise moment, as the scroll was about to activate, through the hole she had created, she saw something that filled her with annoyance: a metallic arrow.

She was not surprised; Eryk had the blessing of a hunting god. Apparently, that blessing was enough to find her , even within the range of Elena’s Spell.

What did surprise her was that even with a piece of his side torn off, Eryk attacked her tenaciously, now she regretted having bothered him before.

Although it had nothing to do with it, because he did not relate her to Eryon at all and he was only in charge of repressing that intruder who kidnapped his guest.

The arrow was fast approaching. by this point Seraphina understood that this guy has a powerful blessing, or he is an agent who has received multiple skills from his god, making him strong even in his rank and someone who is not easy to deal with.

Without letting go of the scroll whose activation was delegated to her parallel thought, she reached out her free hand to grab the arrow and deflect it.

But just as she reached out to seize it, an unsettling shiver crawled up her spine.

There was something wrong, something so profoundly different about this arrow, something she couldn’t place at first, but it made her gut twist in warning.

Her Eyes of Lust saw nothing unusual, no sign, no change. It looked like one more arrow of the many she had dodged or deflected, lethal and cold, but the moment her fingers brushed it, the world around her seemed to stop..

The sensation—the utter absence—struck her like a thunderclap.

She couldn’t grab it. There was no resistance, no impact. It was as though her hands were passing through empty air. A horrifying realization hit her at once.

”Qetesh!!!!”

When she understood what was happening, she tried to warn Qetesh to act, but it was too late.

Qetesh, who could make her gloves touch intangible things, also did not expect what happened, and was too late to act.

It was then that the arrow pierced her hand and was heading straight for her , about to pierce his skull.

Seraphina felt time slowing down before her eyes and could clearly see what was happening, but she could do nothing to stop it.

The arrow began to pass through her head despite her reluctance. Slowly, in her accelerated vision, she watched as it continued its path through her... and finally...

BOOMM!!!
