Akiro explained the plan to me, which I quickly understood.
here we are now, traveling and we have almost swept the whole of Nemestia. we are still lucky to
"We're here to negotiate, we just want an arrangement that maybe you want the same."
I was the one who answered so that I could somehow relieve the pain I was feeling.
the woman laughed out loud which annoyed Akiro and those with me.
"if you don't want to we will be forced to do it in a violent way" Akiro said coldly.
"and what do you want? we will submit to you just like that?"
"then what do you want !?"
he was angry.
the woman grinned and moved closer to Akiro. he was about to touch Akiro but he seemed to have burned away from him.
"don't you dare touch me. compared to our race you are the lowest created, even less than a soldier and a waitress. so you have no right to touch me."
he said coldly while looking sharply at the woman.
"if you want the two races to get along why don't you marry me? so you can be sure that the witches won't turn their backs on you again, rather than an immortal with mortal blood"
he smiled but immediately disappeared when he mentioned me, not even my name but everyone knew that he was referring to me
Akiro couldn't stop him so the woman jumped and was about to fall on the wall but he immediately caught up with her and made a way for her not to fall on the wall.
"The witches will never give up on you! The order you want will only happen when you yourself give up on us!"
he also rushed but everyone was immediately alarmed because what he did was going in my direction. Akiro was a bit far from me because of what he did to the woman, but even so, he still quickly appeared in front of me and immediately gave the woman an attack, he escaped immediately.
some witches who had been waiting for a signal to come out had already left.
they also seem to have prepared for it and they know it will happen. it is not hidden to our knowledge that witches have more ways to spy on their opponent.
while everyone was busy fighting my headache got worse which caused me to get on my knees. I was held in my head as if doing that would somehow alleviate the pain a little. but whatever I do it only gets worse as if it were being hammered.
"dear princess!"
Kimara approached me immediately after killing her opponent earlier.
"what's happening!?"
I couldn't even answer his question because I could hardly hear anything around me and my vision was blurred.
"you need to get out of here! your body can't handle the power he's surrounding here! it looks like he knows you have mortal blood so he did it!"
he helped me stand up and even though it was hard I was forced to step.
we were about to get out when we heard rumors shouting.
"KIMARA !!!" Keer.
"ZAFFIRA !!!" Akiro.
they shouted almost at the same time so we immediately turned our backs to where we were trying to escape the fighters.
and our bodies were almost cold because of a blazing fire coming towards us.
I'm sure it's not just ordinary fire.
I was too narrow-minded or rather to say that it was Kimara and me because it suddenly disappeared.
Khairo tried to stop that with his water but that wasn't enough so Akiro's wind accompanied it.
Keer approached us as Akiro furiously rushed at the woman, it looked like I was the one he was targeting.
"Keer, she needs to get out of here! Her body can't handle the magic that Avy has wrapped around here in her house!"
confused, he promised Keer because he was about to lift me up in my place.
I felt him hand me over to Keer and he was the one who lifted me out.
Chapter 42
When we came out, I felt relieved. Avy did something that my body couldn't handle.
Avy, the woman. that's the name Kimara mentioned earlier and she seems to know it very well.
"Keer, I'm okay"
he gently made me stand on my own two feet.
"are you sure you're okay?"
he asked hesitantly so I smiled a wide smile to let him know that I was really okay.
"Looks like there's nothing I can do to help you. What's the use of the power given to me if in this situation I can't do anything at all."
I frowned.
"Maybe in this situation, nothing. But there are many more ways and times for you to use the power given to you."
Keer simply smiled at me.
we all looked inside because of the explosion we heard. the house was not affected because it seemed to have been made in Avy's power.
"Here you go" and Keer ran inside again.
I'm sure by this time Akiro has released the soldiers he hid.
"They need me inside, dear princess. I'll just hide you inside first n--"
"No, I don't want to hide! I also want to fight! I won't go inside but I'll make sure you're all safe."
"dear princess"
he was still hesitant to look at me.
"Kimara, in all the battles we face, I only did it in secret. But was I saved by hiding? Only you and myself can save me from disaster! It's not just your hiding! Now I have it. strength to save myself, I also want to help whatever I can. "
Kimara smiled at me broadly and nodded before entering.
both the fighters inside are strong and if it was just a normal house it should be dilapidated. so I had a strong feeling that it was not just a house made of wood.
if you look at it from the outside it seems like nothing bad is happening inside.
I took a walk and surveyed this house. I almost tour well because of my curiousity.
until what Anka had said came to my mind.
we are not the only ones living here, not just animals, not just plants and trees because even the simple things that you would not expect also have life. they have life and as long as someone owns them they can keep it. but not like a man who can speak and move. they just really have extraordinary abilities that can't be seen or felt.
I went back to the front door that was closed.
I tried to stick my hand in there but nothing was strange. I moved away a little then put out a fire and tried to burn it.
when my fire hit there it suddenly seemed like a light came out and surrounded the whole house especially the door I tried to burn.
but I was only surprised because the fire disappeared as if it had been absorbed by the light. I don't know if I'm just mimicking or what I saw was really true.
the fire that hit there disappeared so I approached the door to see if there was a trace of fire that I let out but even a little bit I couldn't see anything.
what kind of house is this?
does Avy's power have anything to do with it or is it just the ability of this house?
I touched the door again but nothing made me feel strange. why when i entered i felt dizzy? but when I got out my strength suddenly returned to normal?
as my palm rested on the door I tried to release energy to destroy it.
but the energy I emit seems like nothing is happening and the light around it has also come out earlier. I still have a suspicion that it might be electricity but it doesn't seem to have any effect on me.
I'm still trying to destroy that with the energy I'm releasing but little by little I'm feeling weak. I feel like I haven't eaten for a few days. I felt something taking my strength so I closed my eyes and continued what I was doing.
until I just realized something.
I quickly withdrew my hand from there and did not proceed with my intention of breaking down the door. and when my hand moved away from there, my strength suddenly returned. it was as if I was coming out of a nightmare with my excessive panting.
the house, absorbing energy in a person!
if so so I was dizzy earlier not only because of what Avy did but also because of this house sucking energy! I have human blood and I am still weaker than them even though I have power from the Deeyos so I am quickly affected.
if so, they won't even feel Akiro's gradual weakening of their body but only when they run out of energy will they notice it! they might not even know that it's because it's Avy's house that sucks energy! they would rather think they had just exhausted their strength because of the fight!
I need to find a way! I need to tell them about it!
I was approaching the door to enter but I hadn't touched it yet, it was as if someone had opened it and only a small opening could enter. it seems that it itself opened the door for me, for me to enter.
I would have finally opened the door when I realized why the house itself opened the door and it seemed excited that I entered.
I was shaken and stepped back.
hindi! if I enter I will also lose strength!
not because I'm scared, it's because I want to help. how can i help them if we are all confined there?
this house already knew that I already knew his ability. and I'm sure we won't be released yet! so why would I go in if there is a way out here for me to save them.
Avy is not our opponent here, because this is the very house we entered. she was just like the witches and when they owned her. it is also savage in power so absorbing energy is its ability. he is no different from them!
I no longer knew what was going on inside. it could happen that I think they might be weakening. but I know Akiro, he won't just weaken because of just a lowly creature. and if that happened I knew he would immediately think of a way.
I moved a few meters away from the house enough for me to observe closely. observing its visible weakness and that's where I'm going. I don't just use my power here because nothing will happen.
I looked up into the air to see a large bird flying there.
and Anka. Anka is here.
as I looked up at Anka I would have looked back when my eyes slowly landed on the very top of the house. because the roof of the house is still a triangle. I stared at it carefully to see if what I was seeing was correct. the sunlight is so dazzling that I can't see much of it.
I just noticed now, the house has no windows, I mean, there are windows but they are not open. I looked for a possible hole but even a hole the size of a dot was gone.
I look back up.
Anka was no longer there until I was surprised that she was next to me in human form.
"I'll go inside, dear princess. You're here first and they need my help inside"
"Anka don't!"
but I'm late because he's already in.
doesn't he know either? I still hope he knows something and he can help me with this.
the wind just blew me away.
if I can't help them in the fight, atleast I can atleast save them from disaster. maybe this is also the reason why I am outside now and not inside.
I closed my eyes and felt the energy flowing through my body, I concentrated until I felt I was rising and I could no longer feel the ground I was stepping on.
I woke up again and I was on the air.
I approached the top of the house and it was exactly what I had seen before. my eyes were so dazzled before so I couldn't be sure if it was smoke or just the work of my dazzling eyes.
the smoke coming out of the small of its hole is thin and if you are really far away you cannot see it. just like the smoke of a cigarette.
is it from within?
it's just a small hole, I'll just point out the fun. I seem to have seen his weakness.
I just smiled at the thought.
I didn't flake anymore and that's where I aimed.
THIRD PERSON'S POV
the battle inside was still not over, many were already lying around. they can see the weariness and weakness on their faces.
to this day Akiro still wonders why Avy won't die. he stabbed it several times in the chest but it seemed like he just lost consciousness and woke up again later. Akiro was even more surprised when it pulled Avy's heart out, he thought he was dead and would have helped his comrades with their other opponents but he felt it rise again smiling.
so Akiro knew that no matter what he did, he would not die.
but just because it will not die does not mean that he can no longer confine it to the barrier he has made. as they did to her Father he imprisoned it but only Avy.
when he was sure it could not escape his power he immediately ran and helped his companions.
they have exhausted all the witches inside that house and only Avy is still alive. even Keer is the same, wondering. Anka and Kimara gradually understand why Avy won't die. because they are now facing Avy who still has a big grin, no fear registered on her face even though she knows she is alone.
"Khairo!"
everyone was worried because of Khairo's kneeling as if he was feeling severe pain in his body. it had also weakened so much earlier that he did not pay attention. he just thought that maybe it was because he had so many opponents that he couldn't be exhausted so he felt weak.
Anka approached him to support him in his seat and not to lie down on the floor.
"what are you? why can't you die !?"
Akiro was already irritated and Avy's annoying grin added even more.
"Kimara, are you okay?"
Keer supported him because his body suddenly weakened.
frowned when Akiro looked at Khairo and Kimara.
"HAHAHA! Do you think you've won !? even if I don't do anything here, you will still die one by one! I will watch you here how you weaken and gradually run out of strength until you die !!"
Akiro and Keer's teeth gritted.
Akiro was already full so he choked it and leaned against the wall. it still smiled as if feeling no pain.
"It may be well if we take him to the palace, dear king."
Anka promises and she helps Khairo stand up.
as he walked closer to the door Keer felt dizzy and almost fell down but he also caught up immediately, he almost fell down but he still managed to control himself.
"Keer!"
"I'm fine, we need to get out of here, dear King. The princess was left alone outside and maybe something bad happened to her."
"shit!"
he almost forgot Zaffira was outside. there may be something bad going on there and many different creatures will be interested in hurting him.
they walked even faster while Avy was still trapped in a large ball floating next to them.
Keer will open the door because he is ahead of Akiro.
"shit!" he crispy cheaply without opening the door.
he slowly looked at Avy who still had a big grin.
Akiro got it so he also tried to open it but like before it didn't happen.
"You will all die here in my house and right in front of me !! HAHAHAHA !!"
the annoying laugh of a witch rang out inside.
Chapter 43
the king also now feels the decline, the power of this house is affecting him.
Khairo, who had been weak before, was vomiting blood.
"Khairo!"
Anka tried to pretend she couldn't do that anymore. he is losing strength.
"S-si Za-zaffira"
he had a hard time mentioning Zaffira's name, now he knew why Zaffira was weak at first. but now he was still worried about what had happened to him outside. He had to find a way to get out now that he knew it was all alone.
