Chapter 186 - 185 – Armor Stronger Than Others?
Isabell felt her head pound as she dropped to her knees on the floor and held her head. Taking advantage of the fact that the dogs had all been killed, she focused only on getting rid of her headache.
Deactivating her blessing, she dropped to the ground and continued to hold her head as she waited for the pain to pass.
Her body was sweating and shaking, her stomach also began to ache.
Bleeh~~
As she thrashed in pain, she felt the need to vomit. Because of this, she partially lifted her body and then vomited onto the carpet in the castle corridor. Isabell vomited several times before she felt her stomach empty.
She looked at her vomit on the floor. Several pieces of food she had consumed before coming to this battle. But what caught her attention was that had some blood mixed in there.
"Damn," she said and then lay back down as she waited for her headache to pass.
Isabell closed her eyes and concentrated on ending her pain. She lay still as if sleeping. And because of that, the two armors that were nearby finally decided to approach.
With their bodies completely invisible, it would be impossible for Isabell to find them before. In addition, it also prevented them from being detected.
They were here all along watching Isabell's battle with the dogs.
"As I said, she wouldn't be able to use her blessing for very long." The armor that was called number 1 said after approaching Isabell, avoiding stepping on her vomit that was on the ground.
"It's like you said, brother." The other armor said.
Isabell who was lying down was listening to everything. The armors thought she had passed out, but she kept her eyes closed waiting for some movement from the armors.
But she was praying the armors didn't do anything. She was still in a lot of pain and her body was cold. Also, her body was not obeying her commands very well.
She was practically incapacitated.
'Mom, are you there?' She thought to get her mom's attention.
[ Yes I am here. ]
'What do I do now? I can't move my body very well, am I going to get killed?'
[ Don't worry about it, I'll help you out a little bit. ]
'You can do it?'
[ Well, I'm your mother and I have control over this world. As long as I don't directly interfere by going there, I think I can help you in some way. ]
'I see. But you need to do this fast, as I think I'm going to be killed in a few seconds.'
[ Don't be in such a hurry. Here it goes. ]
After that, Isabell's pain began to completely disappear, bringing relief to her.
Her body also seemed to be getting back to normal, she tried to move her fingers and they were moving as she wanted.
And after realizing that everything was fine, she received two notifications.
[ New skill acquired – High pain tolerance. ]
[ New Skill Acquired - Body Recovery ]
Seeing this, Isabell wondered if she should be given abilities as powerful as this, but her mother just said she wouldn't keep those abilities forever.
[ I gave you these abilities only temporarily, try to use them to kill these armors. I will collect them later. ]
"Can't I keep these abilities?"
[ That would be bad, I don't want you to get used to getting free skills. Didn't I give you the system for you to grow up on your own? ]
'Yes, but... It is very difficult to get points to buy these skills, they are very expensive!'
[ Hey, you're too petty. Now move your body! ]
With her mother's warning, Isabell snapped back to reality and could see the armor's hand descending toward her chest to pierce her.
Her arm was coming at high speed, but as Isabell had base agility quite high, she managed to react and swivel to the side, avoiding the armor's hand.
"Huh?!" The armor made a strange sound and then looked at Isabell who had risen and was looking directly at them.
The ground where the armor's hand had hit was cracked, Isabell looked at it with relief.
'If that had hit me, I would have died immediately.' Not even celestial beings could survive if they had their hearts broken. Unless you are a complete god.
"So you were awake. I seriously thought you wouldn't wake up anytime soon."
"Of course, you were going to kill me, I would never wake up." Isabell, who had already shown her voice to the armors before, realized that it made no sense to remain silent.
"Yes, that's right. I thought you would never wake up."
"Unfortunately, I don't die that easily, I have some interesting magic." She couldn't say she had received new abilities from her mother who is a god, what would the armors think of that?
"Right, I already realized you're strong. But what are you doing here in the capital? You can use holy magic, so you're probably not human."
"What do you mean I'm not human? Didn't you know that priests can also use holy magic?"
"No, but not like that. You're using holy magic as a weapon, priests can't do something like that. And you sure as hell aren't a priest."
"Are you sure?" Isabell scoffed at the armor.
"Well, I don't know who you are, or why you're in my way. But whatever, I just need to kill you, don't I?" As he said these words, black arms emerged from the back of the armor.
Five arms flew directly to Isabell who was extremely surprised. The other armors had tentacles, but this one have hands and arms.
Isabell who received this sudden attack activated her blessing again then created a barrier to repel his arms. The arms of the armor began to throw Isabell back as she protected herself with her barrier.
And about her barrier...
The tentacles would have been injured enough to disappear, but these arms weren't disappearing, and the only wound Isabell was causing were minor wounds that didn't even affect the armor.
'Damn it. It seems there is a reason why this armor is number 1. 'Isabell thought as she smiled fearlessly at the armors.
####
Isabell who continued to block the armor's hands, noticed the other armor running towards her. In just 5 seconds he approached while using a sword to hit her.
It was a sword created now because Isabell had not seen it before.
The armor's sword slammed into Isabell's protection. But the armor wasn't satisfied so he used his right foot to kick hard at the girl's belly.
His attack was also caught by Isabell's protection, but he also didn't seem to be being damaged.
'Looks like these two armors are the strongest of them all, maybe I can hurt them if I use that pillar of light?' Isabell wondered but soon gave up on the idea.
'It takes too long to create a pillar, they'll manage to escape before I can hit them.'
Isabell continued to receive sword attacks from the armor as he approached her. The furthest armor was just watching everything as Isabell moved further and further away from him.
"Finish her quickly, we need to go to the next town."
"What about our brothers?"
"Didn't you see what happened to number 3? Everyone else has probably already been killed. Take care of her and I'll outside." Armor number 1 said and then disappeared.
"You won't run away." Isabell, who realized what those words meant, created a 'stake of light' in front of her that directly hit the armor that was attacking her barrier.
Her magic activation was so fast the armor couldn't see it.
Luckily, the stake did not reach his core, but the armor had been damaged in his belly as well as his arms.
Isabell managed to get rid of the armor's attacks for just a few seconds, so took advantage of this and punched them with all his strength towards the armor's chest.
'This is going to hurt,' she thought as she poured the maximum amount of holy power into her hand. She used all her strength and punched the armor in his chest.
BOOM~~
Her punch was so strong that a sound like an explosion was made. The armor flew into the wall a few feet away and her entire chest had been split open. The armor had broken into several pieces.
'Huh? It didn't hurt that much.' Isabell, who had never experienced fighting empty-handed, was surprised by her resistance.
But with no time to think about it too much, she banked her hand and created a sword of light that flew towards the chest of armor. The armor that was still struggling to lift can't do anything.
The sword of light flew at high speed and pierced his core. The wall behind it was also broken open, revealing a room.
"I think I've already damaged the castle enough, so I think I should get out of here." With that in mind, Isabell smashed the castle window and then flew off after the armor that had just escaped.
'Wait, wasn't it too easy to beat the previous armor? It even looks like they have no battle experience.'
