Chapter 11 - Lightning Strikes (4) (1/2)

"Descend, 'Calamity Sword'" An ice-cold voice resounded through the place.

Powerful sword intent wrapped the greatsword on the woman's hands, pressuring the space in the surroundings and making the enemies in the surroundings to have difficulty to breathe.

"Damn it! What kind of monster is she!?" With an expression of terror, the shortsword-wielding man grabbed his disciple's arm before retreating quickly.

However, it was too late to retreat from the woman's attack range. Before he could run far, the woman's sword was swung.

Instantly, a destructive storm of energy filled the place. The surroundings were filled with sword energy and everything around was completely destroyed.

It took nearly one minute before the effects of the attack subsided. The surroundings were completely destroyed, and a crater more than a hundred meters of diameter appeared in the place where the sword impacted.

"I'm unable to control it yet." The ice-cold voice of the woman sounded. "That is the reason because you are not dead yet."

From the clouds of dust, four figures appeared; two belonging to orcs and two belonging to humans. None of them was dead, but injuries of every size could be seen in their bodies. One of the orcs had its left arm destroyed, apparently because he received the brunt of the attack in a try to protect its team.

"… You… How can you be so strong!?" The shortsword-wielding man asked, but the woman simply ignored him. For a few seconds, none of them said anything, and only the frightened deep breaths of the weaker level three human could be heard.

"Will, leave this place. Go get the flag." The shortsword-wielding man said softly to his disciple.

"B-But teacher, the woman–"

"Don't worry, I will distract her long enough for you to go. If you continue being here, you will end dead before long."

"... I understand, master."

"Orcs, help me to keep the woman busy. I don't think she is strong enough to take three level five for herself."

"Very well, human. We will help you." The hammer-wielding orc, whose arm had been injured, answered with a growl. Apparently, even a warmonger orc could understand that it was impossible to take the woman in a one to one.

"Now, go!"

Immediately, the level three human ran towards the way that Aleen took.

"I will not let you!" The woman shouted before attacking with her sword, but one of the orcs used its axe to block the attack. The woman increased the output of her 'Sword Body', throwing the orc away; but when she tried to chase after the disciple again, she was blocked by the two other enemies.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you to go after my disciple." The human said after blocking one of the woman's attacks.

"Do you think that you can stop me?" She asked coldly.

"To be honest, I'm not confident about being your match. Unfortunately for you, I'm not alone here."

"Bah!" She sneered. "You will need more than it to kill me!"
