Armipotent

Chapter 671 - Capturing Bareham City - Part 2

The arrows hit the barrier and reflected away, saving her life. \'What now?\' Viona\'s mind was blank. She did not know what to do next after blocking the arrows.

—Follow up with Guardian Rush!

Viona took a few seconds to process what Lilliana told her. She activated [Guardian Rush] and her figure rushed forward to the armored knight. The knight tried to block her with the shield, but it was futile as the knight got knocked away off the wall.

[You have leveled up!]

[You have gained 4 Attribute Points!]

The notification that she had not heard for a long time rang in her head. Viona learned her lesson to keep moving when she was in the battle. She raised her sword and stabbed the archer\'s neck that was two meters away from her. The three archers seemed to be shocked that the knight was knocked that easy, so Viona easily landed her stab. The sword pierced the knight, and she pulled to the side.

The archer held his neck as blood spurted out before he fell to the ground not long after that. Viona then charged toward the archer on the right and beheaded the archer with one slash. The head fell off to the side as the body walked a few steps forward before it fell.

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 4 Attribute Points]

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 4 Attribute Points]

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 4 Attribute Points]

Viona leveled up thrice, but she did not rejoice as her breathing ragged after killing two archers. She felt nothing for the first kill because the knight did not die in front of her. The two archers were different as she personally killed them, and their blood was on her plate armor.

Viona turned around to look for the third archer. However, the last one ran away after his three comrades died. She was about to chase until she heard Lilliana\'s voice warning her.

—Watch out, your back!

Viona turned around and raised her shield. There was a man with leather armor slamming the ax toward her.

Dang!

She stopped the ax with the shield and slashed her sword horizontally toward the man\'s belly. The man leaped backward after the ax was blocked, causing the sword to miss.

"Huh!? So there\'s a traitor between us. You choose to side with the beast rather than your fellow humans." The man could tell that Viona was not a beastmen. There was no a beastmen wearing armor like her, after all. So Viona was easily identified by the man.

"Hah… Hah…" Viona did not bother to reply to the man as she tried to calm down. At the same time, she scanned her surroundings. Her hurried breathing was not because she was tired but because this was the first time she killed humans. The shock and uneasiness, along with nausea in her stomach, were the factors.

She tried to find the archers instead of fighting the hunter in front of her. She had to be careful and aware of her surroundings, but the archers were distancing themselves from her.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The arrows shot toward her, but she easily blocked the arrow with her [Guardian Shield]. The man noticed that Viona could use the skill and immediately yelled. "Guys! We can use our-"

The man did not finish his words as Viona slammed her shield toward the man\'s body using [Guardian Rush]. She pushed the man to the stone fence, slamming the man\'s back toward the stone fence hard.

"Kuargh!" The hunter coughed up blood and stared with his piercing gaze. "You dirty bast- Krourggh!" The man could not finish his sword as Viona pierced his throat with her sword. She twisted the sword and pulled the sword to the side. The hunter instantly died as his body fell. Viona looked away from the hunter and looked for a new target.

Viona looked away from her victim to minimize the uncomfortableness, but she realized that six hunters surrounded her. Behind the six hunters, four archers aimed at her with the arrows.

—Aim the archer, and use the movement skill!

\'Movement skill?\' Viona did not understand what Lilliana meant. \'Do you mean [Guardian Rush]?\'

—You… Haven\'t you checked up on all my skills? Don\'t tell me you only know [Guardian Rush] and [Guardian Shield]?

\'No, I know [Guardian Stomp].\' Viona\'s answer left Lilliana speechless. The former immediately gave a quick check on the skills and realized that she had many skills. She noticed that one of the skills that Lilliana meant, [Wind Dash].

She did not wait for the opponent to attack her first as she activated [Wind Dash]. Her body moved as fast as the wind, passing through the gap between the warriors, and arrived in front of the Archer. Viona followed up with the following skill, [Whirlwind Blade].

The wind whirled between the archers, slicing through their bodies and cutting them into pieces. They did not even let out a sound before they died. Viona did not stop there as she turned around and activated [Guardian Rush]. She charged at one of the warriors and threw them away from the wall. She did not know if the warrior died or was still alive as she rushed to the next warrior.

\'Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!\' That was in her mind as she kept charging at the enemy. Feera and Vera did not do anything but watch Viona from the sideline. They were instructed to guard her, not interfering unless the woman was in danger.

The battle continued, but it did not last long as soon as they entered the city. The battle was over half an hour after the gate was breached open. The remaining force surrendered to the Empire, and the civilians stayed in their house as per Goldien\'s order. The Bareham City\'s defense collapsed as soon as he killed Lord Berth.

Viona leaned against the wall as she looked at the dead bodies around her. She was still on top of the wall. She was the one who killed all the armies on the top of the wall. Of course, it was not that many, less than a hundred.

Plop!

She fell on the ground and passed out after Goldien announced that they had captured the city.
