Chương 278: Chapter 261. Anna and Sarah Speak To The Nobles

Anna Ericsson's Point Of View /BANG! BANG! / With a loud impact from landing, the Baron and Knight Families had arrived inside the Barrier that John had provided right behind the Count Families own arrivals. With quite the large crowd now gathered, the Barrier had increased in range to fit everyone. The Barrier, by my observation, is now around double the size of the Church that we are next to. After I summoned a few more plants to help keep the fire alive, Sarah and I then moved to thank the Nobles for their help.

Admittedly, that was hard to do, as the Commoners were currently thanking the Nobles for saving us against that group of bonded ones. That was the case, until Count Sark and Lady Kina saw us. Once we were noticed, their faces that were normally quite calm had changed to a panic." Lady Sarah! Lady Anna! Have you seen Tana!? We haven't been able to find her!"" What about Gasha!? Have you seen Gasha!?" Immediately after Count Sark had called to us, Count Gorse had followed suit with a similarly panicked face.

Without much thought, Sarah answered their questions." For right now, they're technically safe. Both of them, along with Cindy Fracks, as well as Princess Alice, are currently right there." Sarah didn't mince words and told the Count's exactly what they wanted to know, she then pointed at our enemy still floating above the town." What do you mea-.... Who the hell is that!?" Count Sark was the first to find him in the sky." You have got to be kidding me!? How do we get to them!?" Count Gorse was the next to speak.

Both asked simple questions, I had some idea how to answer Count Gorse's question, as I'm sure Sarah did as well. But Sark's question... We still had no idea. Panic lingered on the faces of the Counts. On the other hand, Lady Kina and Diana had calmed down significantly. They both turned back to Sarah and I and began to ask their own questions." Why did he kidnap them? Is he the reason that the Fracks's mansion is gone? Are there anymore kidnapping victims? What exactly are these things that we've been fighting?""

Where is Count Fracks? I can see Byron, but why is he injured? Why is your own husband unconscious?" Lady Kina asked the first bundle of questions. Lady Diana didn't wait for any answers and asked her own rapid-fire questions. Sarah decided to attend to Lady Kina's questions first." From what we've gathered, Baron Fracks has been committing Blood and Life Sacrifices to a strange God for at least the last year.

Tonight, he was going to attempt a Mass Sacrifice in the hope that he would bring back Lady Cindra from the dead. Our Husband became aware of this, so we attempted to stop Baron Fracks together... We thought we were, but from what I can tell, the God took over Count Fracks's body, which caused the explosion. The God is now attempting to kill everyone in this town or turn them into his slaves with black seeds that bind and bond themselves to people that come into contact with them.

As for if there are any more kidnapping victims, I doubt there will be, those 4 were captured mostly to keep us here so he can kill us at the end of this event." Sarah answered calmly while staring at our enemy in the sky. While she dealt with a few emotions of her own, I proceeded to answer Lady Diana's question." As for the questions you asked, Lady Diana. Byron attempted to fight the enemy and was beaten, just like the rest of us.

Our Husband is unconscious because he protected me from an attack, because at the moment, I'm the only person that thing fears. I have the Job known as Divine Channeler, long story short, I have a Contract with a God that counteracts our enemy." Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there." If he's unconscious, why did this Barrier increase in its size when we joined you down here?"

Count Tye came to the front of the newly arrived group and asked his own question with a tone of disbelief. I didn't have much of an answer myself if I was being honest. The only thing I knew for sure is that he was most likely speaking to Angela and somehow was able to form a Barrier to protect us in the meantime." Our Husband is a Paladin, Count Tye. His Job's very reason for existing is to protect others.

While I can't speak to him having a Skill that can activate a Barrier while he is unconscious, I do not doubt that it is possible. I've seen Matthew do unimaginable things in the time that I've known him, both as his Wife and as his Maid. Quite frankly, something like this isn't even worth blinking at." Some in the crowd bought what I had said, some, like Lord Tye, did not. Whether it be from fear of the strange predicament we were in or a hatred for Humans, I did not know for sure.

What I was sure of however, was that Sarah and I needed to be ready to defend John until he wakes up from both the outside and now the inside of the Barrier." So, in order to get Our Daughters back, as well as Princess Alice, we need to devise a strategy for Lady Anna to land a decisive blow? For now, we should place everything in the open. My Job Class is Demonic Blaze Witch. My Husband's Job Class is Demonic Gladiator. More or less, I burn the enemy, he cuts them down with his great axe."

Lady Kina spoke as Count Sark only looked towards the sky with a burning anger in his eyes." My Job is known as Ice Gale Witch. I can freeze and blow enemies away. My Husband's Job is known as Demonic Fencer. While Count Sark's Job is based in his strength and big weapons, My Husband relies on speed and fast thrusting weapons." Lady Diana also explained her and Count Gorse's abilities to us.

While helpful for sure, especially anything relating to fire, I still think that only John and I can land any meaningful damage. It's just a question of how to do it." Are there any other Magic Users that can use Fire Magic? While it can't hurt the God up there, we can burn our Brothers and Sisters that are infected with his plants."" Yes, by my count, there are 7 Fire Magic users. As for burning our fellow Demons...

Well, that can work for a while, but we need to do something while we all still are at or near full strength. Should we launch an all-out assault on the God so Anna can sneak behind him and land a devastating attack?"" While I'd love to do that, we attempted it already, it failed miserably."" True, but this time, we, the Sarks, the Gorses as well as numerous more Demon Noble Families are here now. We can surely do something that you 3 weren't capable of doing yourselves."

Lady Kina seemed to be full of confidence as she spoke, but she hadn't spent a good hour attempting to land a blow against that monster like Sarah and I... Sarah explained how we already failed with that basic strategy. In the end, I think that the best idea would be some kind of combination attack between John and myself. The only thing is that we need a successful diversion, but John's gained that monster's attention, which makes covert movement with him harder.

While we were fighting him, that monster always seemed concerned with me, but his eyes never truly left John alone. Like he was checking behind his shoulder for someone following him." Why do we need to even devise a strategy? Let's just launch an assault and have Lady Anna attack him after us. Even if he's a God, you can't keep your eyes on every ant in a colony." Count Tye spoke his own thoughts about the situation." Ed, they just told us that it wouldn't work.

We need a strategy to actually land a decisive blow." While Count Tye tried to assert his own idea of how to go about this battle, Count Sark quickly spoke to him. I chose to follow up Count Sark's idea." Yes, like Sarah had said, we've tried what you're thinking, it didn't work. In fact, that's what led to him capturing Princess Alice and the Count Families' Daughters."" Why are you even trying to offer any words to me? You've lost already, your eyes tell me you have no idea how to even win.

You've doubted everything Lady Kina has suggested. Why are you even trying to join the discussion when all you have to say is no!?" Count Tye reached his hand out to attempt to grab me by my collar. / WOOSH! / Suddenly, a spider web of golden flame separated Count Tye from me. Everyone looked to see where the flames had originated from. What we all saw was a Human staring at Count Tye with a displeased glare." Count Tye, I believe I've already explained to you how I feel about someone touching MY Wives."

Sarah and I both smiled for the first time tonight... Because finally, Our Husband has woken up.
