Chapter 116: Land of Mystery [Part 9]
Samantha watched the battle that was unfolding in the sky above.
"I don’t know if I should be scared or confused..."
She muttered as she watched the rather dull scene.
Unlike what is normally seen in movies and animated fiction, the battle in the sky looked rather plain.
There were not huge magic circles, no large fireballs or flashy attacks. All that she could see that was "magical" came in the form of winged horses.
In fact, the battle on the ground with the army of mystical knights fighting against their combatants armed with modern firearms was on a different level.
The knights charged through a wall of lead and ignored most of the bullets, some were felled but those were from the occasional magical bullet that was mixed into the magazine.
Unfortunately, the production of magical bullets was still low, mixing in magical bullets was the tactic used to ensure that their enemies can’t predict which bullets to ignore and which ones to block or defend against.
It was a strategy that worked out well for the first five minutes but after a couple of knights were taken down, the reaction from the others was instantaneous.
They immediately understood the method used, magical bullets were not traced, instead, the knights simply took a phalanx formation and charged forward while casting an unknown enchantment that created a barrier that completely blocked out all the bullets- even the mystical bullets.
With that, the knights’ advance that was slowed for a few minutes had started to ramp up in speed again.
Of course, the reaction from the defensive force that was set up by Morgana was not something to scoff at.
Morgana had drilled them in methods of magical warfare and the enchanted bullets were nothing more than probes.
Seeing the reaction of the knights, the bullets were still used but in coordination with a magical barrage.
Samantha watched in awe as the witches who could only create magical potions and other "traditional medicines" were wielding magic staves and attacking their opponent with lightning bolts and other basic attack spells.
While weak, the attacks were focused on creating a disturbed terrain and this led to a rather flashy display.
Compared to the battle of leaders in the sky, the battle on the ground was truly magical.
Yet Samantha understood that the magic that created effects without leaving a trace were the ones that were truly frightening.
Take the spear in the hands of the platinum blonde women on the pegasus.
It barely touched the giant that attacked her and the monster that would have been the tank in the defense turned to dust in an instant.
There wasn’t a blinding flash of light-
No a single magic circle appeared-
It was just a light touch and the giant crumbled to dust.
If what she was watching had been a movie, Samantha would complain about how "anticlimatic" the moment was.
But when it was something that happened in reality, and right before her eyes...
The impact was something nobody could explain.
The mere thought of a weapon that was capable of erasing your existence without warning and without any signs...
If that had been in the form of a gun...
Samantha can’t even begin to imagine how terrifying such a weapon would be.
Fortunately, the woman wielding the scary spear did not look like someone adept at wielding such a weapon.
Despite not being trained in such weapons herself, Samantha could still see through the expression of the woman.
Moreover, she too had used weapons unfamiliar to her before.
When push comes to shove, you get the mysterious willpower to do whatever you can to survive and Samantha knew that her form and expression at that time was not cool or amazing.
She looked just like the platinum blonde woman-
But, unlike Samantha, the woman had obvious combat experience.
Despite being unfamiliar with the weapon she was using, the woman was still able to retain a calm bearing.
Are these ancient wenches so capable?
Samantha can’t help but wonder if the old witches were indeed that capable and the answer to her question, if Richard was there too answer her would have been-
Yes...
But Samantha would be unable to get a proper answer for now as-
"Commander!"
Someone called out to her and Samantha turned to find a female knight on a pegasus charging towards her.
"Didn’t Morgana deal with all of them?"
Panicked, Samantha immediately cast the strongest magic she knew.
Using her authority, Samantha had sneaked away a few times to get her pussy filled.
She needed to maintain her authority and to do so, magical ability was the most important criteria to retain power.
By sneaking in to get a good dicking, Samantha was able to increase her inherent ability and even get Richard to teach her a few simple spells that would allow her improved power more efficiently.
Among those spells, the one which Samantha had practiced more than twice was one that enveloped her target in black chains.
It was Richard’s favorite spell to use, the power of the chains and its effects were dependent on the power of the caster.
In other words, the stronger you were the stronger the spell became.
Moreover, with enough practice, it was possible to regulate its strength and because of that Samantha had spent some time practicing its use.
Additionally, the spell didn’t cause mass destruction, neither was it too flashy and that alone was what allowed her to practice, even in secret.
But now, unlike the times when she practiced, Samantha was using the spell in an extremely tense situation.
An enemy was charging at her with full intent to kill.
She could feel her desire to end her life from the way she was staring at her and the woman’s speed was not getting any slower.
In such a situation, Samantha was unable to properly regular her power, she was unable to create a good image of what she wanted to do and so-
*drip*
"Haaa....haa...haa-"
It all happened in a split second.
In the time it took Samantha to turn around and cast the spell in full panic, the woman had already reached the point right above her head.
A few more milliseconds and Samantha would be dead.
Fortunately, her crazed attack was not a simple "Attack", magic is based on one’s own will and Samantha was not only "attacking" she was also "defending".
With the strong will to survive, Samantha had pushed herself to the limit, thousands of black chains had emerged around her but instead of binding the woman-
"Guh-"
A fountain of blood escaped the valkyries mouth falling directly on Samantha’s head..
The Valkyrie who was able to lay low and hide from Morgana tried to take out the commander of the defending army while Skadi was grabbing the attention of Morgana and Richard who had just arrived.
Unfortunately for her, the commander was not some wallflower.
She was the most powerful among all the witches, while she did not have the ability to singlehandedly wipe out the einherjar army, Samantha had access to a plethora of powerful spells with a physique that had gone through multiple evolutions.
The nights where she served herself up to Richard, when she begged him and did her best to give him some "good sex" was not for naught.
The chains that Samantha had summoned were not used to bind, instead, they stabbed the valkyrie.
Moreover, the chains were thorned and some of them were even used as summoning points for more chains.
The moment the valkyrie was pierced by one chain, ten more were summoned from the chain and those chains became summoning points as well.
Now, the Valkyrie and her steed had been stuck in place as thousands of black chains pierced through and grew out of the bodies.
Just like how the Valkyrie cut the distance between her and Samantha in a split second, the horrendous sight of becoming a chain porcupine also happened in the span of a split second.
Of course, not all the chains initially summoned by Samantha had hit the Valkyrie.
There were thousands of chains that were surrounding the female warrior and her horse that had zero contact with her.
All it took was a few lucky shots to hit and the Valkyrie was dead at that moment.
To Samantha, she was just lucky, her spell was shot indiscriminately hoping to stall the female warrior but to the Valkyrie?
The milliseconds of dodging the thousand chains was something that felt like an eternity.
Unlike the mages who trained to master the mystic arts, the warriors were trained to use the mystical forces at their disposal to reach supernatural levels of power.
Behind the Valkyrie was a trail of black chains that made a black wall, in fact, Samantha and the Valkyrie were now surrounded by a wall of black chains.
It was a truly magnificent battle-
The Valkyrie gazed down at the witch that had bested her, to be defeated by an absolute novice who was frozen at the sight of blood-
It’s not a bad way to go-
Compared to being killed by Morgana and having her soul turned into material for whatever mad idea the witch had-
Sorry sisters... I pray that we could meet a better end in our next lives
She knew that the fate of her sisters that were captured was not something she could even imagine.
Her death was not an unfortunate moment.
In fact, for her- death in battle was a reward...
"Good, a sample"
Unfortunately for her, the honorable death she longed for would not come.
"Miss Cindy?"
"Clean yourself up Sam, getting covered in blood is not that bad, it’s not even your blood so clean up that mess"
"No- I... this wasn’t from the blood! I... I was- I was about to die!"
"But your alive right?"
"..."
"Anyway, you’ve done something good, I’ll be taking this one, you’re reward would come later"
"Yes"
"Good"
With Richard’s arrival, the cavalry that was stuck in the capital was not in the mystical land and with them came the madmen addicted to making use of their enemies "efficiently".
