后宫帝王之妾女主角

71. First blood [2]: Lisa Vs Sara.

While everyone disappeared from her eyesight, Sara panicked a little however, she did not let her guard down as everyone did earlier.

Overconfidence brings nothing but a downfall; the current situation proves this.

She was a third circle peak with a rare affinity and she could sense that something was not right. If she did not hurry and unite her group then her group might be in mortal danger, that\'s why she left Robert alone and ran in the direction where the illusion by [Mirage] led her.

At some point when she arrived she found that she wasn\'t alone a silhouette of a woman was waiting for her,

Boom! Another explosion that shook the ground was heard by every living being in the forest.

"As expected of a demon... or should I say demons?" Sara commented calmly as she looked in front of her.

A beautiful demoness, with honey-brown hair that had some black strands, stood in front of her while holding a sword and a magic staff.

"You better not disappoint," Lisa said as she tightened her grip on the staff.

Her partners, Ilisha, and the students from the academy were sent as reinforcement for the other group.

This was the improvisation they\'d done for the plan to work smoothly.

Since, Rina, Charmina, Donna, and Julie followed the other side, Lisa sent Ilisha and the demon army as reinforcements.

Logan had already told them to not let them regroup. The moment they come together, it will be impossible for Logan\'s team to defeat them.

So Lisa took the charge and changed the formations.

\'I cannot hold her back for too long either.\' Lisa wasn\'t dumb to think that she could defeat someone as experienced and strong as the leader of the Black Lotus mercenary group.

The aura around the woman called Sara was as calm as a river but as fierce as fire.

Her eyes were burning with anger and she wanted to shred Lisa until she turned into nothingness.

From Sara\'s demeanor alone Lisa could figure out that this woman was calculating the results of their battle more or less.

The reason Lisa had let Ilisha go was that she believed that Ilisha was the only one who could hold back the vice leader of this group.

Anna was strong but she could not handle someone like the vice leader, on the other hand, Lara wasn\'t even experienced in contact. As for the Blood Knight, he did not follow anyone\'s orders except for his master\'s.

Currently, Lisa was the strongest in Logan\'s army and with her buffs and dark magic, she believed that she could take on the leader or at least hold her and stall time for others.

Anna and Lara would take care of the two members of the Black Lotus each.

Blood knight can take on any one of them while Ilisha can take down the vice-leader.

\'I hope master will be safe.\' Her only worry was Logan.

The information about everyone\'s stats was all thanks to Logan\'s [Eye of Incubus]. Earlier, he had assigned everyone their target, given that he would be killing the strongest among all of them which was the demon hunter.

Everyone had a different fighting style and the targets Logan assigned them were based on his calculations.

Now, all that his army had to do was to give their best and emerge victorious with the minimum losses possible.

"<Strength!>," Lisa said and raised her staff.

Immediately she felt her energy increase by a few folds.

Swoosh!

With a mighty stomp, Lisa pounced at Sara.

The tanned woman had a calm expression until she felt the sudden twists in the mana near her.

She could feel that her opponent was strong, but in front of her, Lisa was nothing but a baby demon.

She had experienced numerous battles all across the Kingdom and had been an adventurer in past.

Sara was only worried about her comrades. She did not care about the job at this point since she was pissed.

She could feel the eerie environment around her and a bad premonition. Her skin crawled as she smelled the filthy air that tainted the lands of Selva village.

This job was fishy from the start and she had some doubts about Robert as well.

Just as she raised her sword to defend herself, the mana in the air twisted, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face.

Sara felt a killing intent and her eyes locked on the figure that emerged from behind.

A slash filled with black miasma appeared in her eyesight. It was as if she saw her entire life pass through as a thin and sharp but cold blade threatened to near her throat and claim it in a single slash.

Clank!

Lisa could feel her hands getting numb and her first move was successfully tackled.

"That just now... what teleportation skill was that?" Sara asked as she was still in a daze.

"Tch." Lisa frowned hard.

Her killing move was exposed easily.

She had used a great deal of mana on this attack as she used the <Dark teleportation> skill.

A skill that in exchange for mana twice the given distance, gave her a chance to teleport from any "shadow" she desires.

This was a skill that she had obtained from Jin\'s family. Which was later converted into a dark skill.

To activate this skill she could only expend the demonic energy that she had to use carefully since its replenishing rate was three times slower than mana replenishing.

Not only that but she also embedded her mana inside her sword to create a powerful arc of miasma by her sword.

But it was futile.

Not only was her opponent on her two legs, but also now she cannot use this skill anymore since it was disclosed.

Without wasting any more time, Lisa charged again.

This time her movements were different and more agile.

Jumping from her left and right foot alternately, she reached Sara, and at the last step, she hopped like a frog.

"You\'ve got some weird moves," Sara commented and took something out of her storage ring.

Just before Lisa could do anything, her legs were pulled by the branch of an unknown tree.

"W-what?" Lisa was shocked.

Although she knew, Lisa still couldn\'t believe it.

"Isn\'t that nature affinity!" This battle was harder than Lisa had thought earlier. This was something Logan had not told her!

This greatly shocked Lisa.

She was surprised by this revelation.

On the other hand,

Sara, who looked unscathed from the outside, was opposite from the inside.

The armor that had earlier saved her life and which was well hidden under her clothes was turned into particles when it was hit by Lisa earlier.

The black miasma had a great impact on her body armor. The miasma had entered her body through breathing and now it was draining her mana at an alarming rate.

Like a lethal poison that works slowly on its enemy, the miasma was eating her mana.

(A/N: The dark energy that demons possessed was called miasma by adventurers and mercenaries all across the world.)

This miasma was weakening Sara, the leader of Black Lotus.

Although still not to the point where it endangered her mortal existence, it was still better to remove it than to be sorry later.

"Don\'t have time to play with you," Sara said and started pushing the miasma out of her body with her mana.

"Argghhhhh!" But to her surprise, she felt excruciating.

Her body jerked and shivered as the miasma oozed out of her body.

"Y-you! What have you done to me?!" Sara shouted.

This was the first time that she felt her body was out of her control.

Her body started shivering and her mind felt dizzy. The mana inside her body drained rapidly.

Sara cursed Lisa in her mind and expended more mana.

This battle did not last long... or so she thought.

"Kheuk!" Lisa puked blood while her eyes turned blood red. She was manipulating the miasma from the outside. Expending all of her mana and demonic energy to somehow stop Sara\'s heart.

At first, weakening Sara was her goal, however, when she realized that she had a natural affinity, she did not care for her life and put more force.

They were inside the forest, which meant Sara could manipulate the nature around her to a certain extent, putting them at a great disadvantage.

She did not care for the aftermath as she put more and more force into her miasma manipulation.

But alas, Sara was not any random woman.

At the given opportunity, she immediately pounced at Lisa and grabbed her neck. She intended to simply snap Lisa\'s neck since her body was getting out of her control.

Lisa was giving her best. She let the tears of blood flow but did not stop the attack.

Sara had clenched her heart with one hand as she felt the capillaries and veins budging with blood.

Her vision was turning black but it did not move away from the slight smile on Lisa\'s bloodied lips.

\'I can finally help master... maybe he will reward me in my afterlife...\' Lisa thought as she forced the final mana inside her body.

"Aaaaaaaa!" It was at this moment that a painful cry resounded in the forest.
