Chapter 149: Blasting range
He became irritated as he stared at Nessa's golden glow, not expecting her to decline his offer because it would have been the best offer made to most.
"You should have just accepted my offer, that would have been best in any case, now I will just rip you and that nation that you find so precious apart," He said as Nessa exhaled deeply as she looked up at the night sky.
"I would like to see you try, give it your best shot and let's see what happens after that," She replied and he chuckled before pointing to the leader of the Orcs who looked at Nessa with pitiful eyes and her eyes narrowed while staring at him.
'There's something wrong here, why is he staring at me like that?' Nessa pondered as she looked at Zilrud and Vill, who sighed and lowered their heads.
"Kill them all," The guy ordered before flying up in the air, and the beast roared while drawing in dark energy, and Nessa's eyes widened, knowing that the beast would be a major issue, one that would be difficult to deal with while trying to save others.
"Ugh… Riki, let's all finish this off as soon as possible," She said and Riki smirked.
"As you wish, my lady," He replied as the Orcs rushed to attack them and they began fighting them off once more while Nessa looked at the leader of the Orcs who rushed towards her and her eyes lit up as she jumped up in the air, wrapping her tail around his body and flung him across the field but he regained his balance and landed on his feet with his eyes glowing black as if there were no feelings within them and she sighed before landing.
'This is starting to bother me; should I kill him or let him live?' Nessa wondered.
"Master, don't be afraid to fight him off; he is not himself," Zilrud yelled and she turned back to look at him as the beast grew larger.
"I have to deal with that thing because it could kill everyone here," Nessa said.
[The Orc in front of you is not himself, all of his emotions are gone, I would say he is being controlled by someone who can control your mind with darkness, meaning the guy whose offer you just declined, it's the reason he isn't staying on the battlefield, he needs to concentrate, handle him and the Orc will be back to normal unless it's too late for any comeback, meaning he lost himself due to being controlled.]
After hearing what the system said, Nessa didn't know what to say; knowing that someone could do that not only made her angry, but it also made her want to kill the guy.
"I'm going to kill him," She muttered before returning her gaze to the Orc.
"All right, I'll deal with you later; I have to deal with the beast for the time being." She said as her whip appeared beneath the Orc's body and extended itself, wrapping around the creature's limbs, pinning him down and preventing him from moving even an inch.
Nessa then turned to the beast, who roared so loudly that everyone's attention was drawn to him. The rest of the Orcs, whose leader was now pinned by Nessa, stopped fighting, and Riki noticed their eyes were the same as their leader's.
"What's up with their eyes?" Riki inquired as Zilrud sighed and looked at his brother.
"What do you think is wrong?" Zilrud asked and Riki sighed.
"I don't know, lady Nessa probably does, that could be why she pinned their leader down, her focus is on protecting us and defeating that beast, I really want to get involved but she wanted to do it alone," He responded.
"Do you think she'll be alright?" Riki smiled after Vill asked.
"Yes, I think she'll be fine; she's stronger than she appears," He responded and Vill smiled.
"Yeah, even I believe in her," Zilrud said as Nessa's claws began to glow black and white and her eyes returned to normal before she lifted her right paw up as the beast began to run towards her and she took a deep breath as a huge ball of black flames formed before her and they stared at her as she released it, and it flew towards the beast.
"How much do you think the damage will be?" Dalia asked and Yanka chuckled.
"Not enough to kill it, but enough to seriously injure it," Yanka responded, smirking as orange flames formed around the black one.
When it collided with the beast, it exploded, sending it flying across the field, and because of how hard it was hit, it lost one of its limbs and was severely injured.
"Well, it cost more than a little damage; she is powerful; all she needs to do is master her current abilities and she will be stronger enough to face many more beasts like that on her own without having to worry about anything but, she will always worry, that much I do know by now, she is amazing," The chiefess said, and Dalia chuckled as Nessa took a deep breath, and the beast stood up and opened its mouth wide, causing a black ball to form within it, and Nessa's eyes widened as she saw the chief and his son along with Dalia in blasting range.
"Dalia," Riki yelled, her eyes widening as the beast shot the ball, which formed a beam of dark light, clearing out part of the land while killing many of the Orcs that were on its side.
Nessa leapt in front of Dalia and the others before they could be hurt, and as it was about to hit them, her eyes began glowing red and blue as the dark liquid began to form in front of her as a shield.
Nessa was pushed back after the impact, but she forced herself forward and her dark flames caught onto the attack, running back to its user and catching onto the beast's body. As the beast roared in pain, the attack died off, and Nessa sighed before it roared in anger while bleeding after her flames vanished.
