Chapter 187 - 186 – Afraid?
While Isabell wondered about the previous battle, she jumped out the window and activated her flight magic. The armor was gone in an instant, but he couldn't have gone that far.
Mainly because he said he was going out. He was saying he was going to finish his brothers' work, is that what Isabell thought.
"Where are you?" She said as she looked around desperately as she flew over the capital. On the streets she could see many people and also bodies, the families already seemed to be taking the bodies of their relatives.
Urg~~
Isabell moaned watching this scene and focused only on finding the armor.
She wasn't feeling his presence, so it's very difficult.
'Did he use that magic that made him invisible again? Maybe that's why he disappeared earlier.' Isabell started to wonder about that.
If the armor used a spell to turn invisible, he might still be in the castle.
'No, he wouldn't stay there.' And if he had been there, he might have interfered with her battle to help his friend.
But he could also be just watching to gauge Isabell's strength...
'Aaaah, I don't quite think what to think.' She screamed in her mind in frustration. But she didn't give up, she flew to the castle again to see if she could find the armor, but to no avail.
So she went back to the main street and tried to increase her detection power. This lasted about two minutes.
Isabell felt one presence of something with the same magic from armor.
It could be another dog summoned by him, or it could be another monster.
But anyway, Isabell couldn't let this monster alive, so she quickly flew towards that sign. She got there in an instant. Isabell was currently flying over one of the capital's residential districts.
It was a small neighborhood that had small wooden houses very similar to the villages, and the street was made of earth, different from the main street and the upscale neighborhood. Even slightly more developed residential neighborhoods had asphalt.
"This is a pretty poor neighborhood." Isabell had passed this way before, but she hadn't stopped to look.
On the streets there was nobody, showing that no one had been killed here. No, maybe there were bodies inside the houses.
'No, the doors are closed and the houses look whole. But whatever, the signal is coming from there.' Isabell glanced at one of the wooden houses. Unlike the others, the house had two floors.
But it was a broken and dirty house, it seemed like no one lived there.
"Is anyone around here?" Isabell asked and approached.
She realized that she had done something she shouldn't because if the armor had been here it would have harmed her. But since she had already done it, she just entered the house. The door had no lock so it opened easily.
When she entered, she found an empty room. The first floor was 'one', it had no room separations like a normal house.
But what caught her attention was something in the middle of the room.
A black sphere was flying there as it spun. It wasn't making any sounds or emitting any kind of magic, it was just floating there like it wasn't anything dangerous.
But as Isabell approached, a voice appeared in her mind.
[ Don't touch it. ]
"Mom?!" Isabell exclaimed in surprise at being called out suddenly. But with the warning, she walked away from the sphere.
[ This was put on by the armor. ]
"Huh? Why?" Isabell looked confused.
[ She intends to spread these spheres across the capital to use large-scale magic. You need to destroy it! Use holy magic to destroy the sphere, it should be easy for you to do that. ]
"I just need to put magic on the sphere?"
[ That's right. Later go after the armor and stop him. His speed is too high, so the spheres are being placed quickly. ]
"Right." Isabell approached the sphere and began to use her magic. Her light magic was being sucked by the black sphere as it diminished. After a few seconds, the sphere disappeared.
"That was easy. But now what do I do? The armor is invisible and I can't detect him either."
[ About this, I will need to help you again. Damn, I shouldn't be doing this. ]
Isabell heard her mother protesting about it but she didn't say anything. Then a notice appeared in front of her, showing that she had been given a new ability.
It was an ability called [ Advanced Detection ]
Isabell had never seen this skill in the 'shop'.
[ Now go quickly after that armor. You don't have to worry about the spheres right now. ]
"Right."
Isabell said and then activated her new ability. When she activated it, a headache hit her after she detected several signals several miles away, it was so much information she couldn't take it.
[ Don't use it that way, just mentalize the armor. ]
Her mother taught her to use the skill, and Isabell was very grateful for that.
She did as her mother said, and shortly thereafter she began to detect something moving at high speed through the capital.
"Found you." She smiled as she left the house.
####
Isabell flew through the capital and flew directly to the left edge of the capital where the armor was. The armor was moving at high speed, so Isabell wanted to hurry.
She increased her flight speed, even more, getting there in an instant.
Isabell, who arrived at the armor in an instant, used her magical power-covered hand to punch it with all her strength.
The armor that was on top of one of the buildings, received the punch directly as he didn't notice Isabell's approach, which was very fast. Even though he could feel her presence, he couldn't even react.
Isabell's punch hit the armor's right flank, knocking him backward. It crashed into a three-story building and the building collapsed soon after.
A huge curtain of dust rose as the construction fell onto the armor.
Isabell, who had hit the armor, was taken by surprise when soon after the armor came out of the rubble unharmed.
'This is going to be difficult.' She thought as she tried to create a sword with her light magic. Before, she had managed to create a sword of light to play in the core of the armor, but she didn't know if she could keep that sword and use it to fight.
She created the sword in her hand and felt a warm sensation as she held the sword hilt that glowed along with the blade.
"Oh?" She looked surprised when she managed to hold the sword easily.
The armor in the distance realized that Isabell had created a sword so it also created a black sword in his hand. And after that, he used some arms that were created on his back to throw herself upward.
He flew towards Isabell at high speed.
The armor spun twice in the air and landed its blade directly on Isabell's blade.
The two swords clashed and made a sound like two metal swords clashing. Even though the two swords were created from holy magic and dark magic.
"You are very strong." The armor couldn't fly, so he and stretched the arms that came out of his back to brace himself on the ground.
"I'm not very strong." But Isabell took advantage of this situation and flew towards the falling armor, trying to hit directly the chest of the armor. She descended at high speed with her sword aimed at the chest of the armor. But it wasn't that simple.
The armor used one of its arms to rotate her body and avoid Isabell's sword.
But Isabell didn't give up and shortly thereafter changed her flight path, flying upward again.
At the same time, the armor had already reached the ground. But without waiting, the armor created some black projectiles like the thorns of light Isabell used. All projectiles went directly to Isabell at the same time.
But not caring, Isabell just created a shield and then flew towards the armor. She crashed into all the projectiles and made them disappear as if they were nothing.
Not looking surprised, the armor activated a shield to take Isabell's attack.
The girl went straight for the armor and used her sword to directly hit the armor shield. Isabell thought her sword wouldn't hurt the armor, but she seemed to be wrong.
In the same place where the sword had crashed, the shield of the armor had been damaged a little.
Isabell smiled at the armor after realizing what was happening. She doesn't know if the armor has weakened from preparing the magic, or if it is because of her sword which was all created with holy magic.
But now she was sure she was damaging the armor.
The armor looked at Isabell's smile in fear.
Isabell noticed this and started to smile even more as she swung her sword once more and at the same time used a little magic to hit the armor.
