Day [Life]: Incarnation
A Meeting and a Trap

As I was walking, with Zena at the side, a soldier from the empire saw us walking towards the city. I thought again, like someone I knew passing by me. I don't know what I feel, eve its existence as familiar.

"Something weird feels..."

I muttered, looking unsettled, looking around the crowded street of people who were mostly Elves. A crowded atmosphere adds a spice of vigilance for something bad to happen.

The sound of the horse's roar rang out, the vibrations caused getting more pronounced. The cold wind blew making my feathers stand up.

"Luke... There's something wrong with this town."

The whisper of Zena who walked beside me and looked around. It didn't take long for the screams to be heard.

"Yeah!!"

At first glance after hearing it, I saw some elves who then ran around and until finally the crowd was destroyed. Some children who also run around look trampled because of the many people who attach importance to his safety.

I was with Zena who saw her immediately saving the children who were oppressed due to the crushed crowd.

"Yahoooo!!" "Yeah!!! Mamaa!!!"

Some of them were crying in pain, some were also injured quite heavily but managed to withstand the outbreak of crying. Some parents who felt lost their children approached and quickly picked them up, thanked them, and left with them.

*Syout!

An arrow shot out, with a reflex motion, I deflected it using the sword so that the arrow bounced off.

"Tch! Take care of those kids, I'll take care of some of those soldiers."

"Good!"

Immediately I stood by the sword I was holding, while Zena was looking after the children.

"...."

*Syuuut! *ctang!

The second attack appeared, I quickly repelled it and returned to the starting position. A thick fog seemed to cover the imperial army. As they prepared, a triple attack appeared.

*Syuuuut!

When it was about to deflect, the arrow in a trace turned into a knight and immediately changed its attack to horizontal.

"Ughhh!?"

As the change of the arrow was startling, I immediately retreated. Although it has tried as hard as possible, but still the movement is difficult to avoid especially with such a close distance. I don't know what skill he was wearing but it surprised me.

*crrik!

The sound of the squeaking armor rang out as the knight landed, accompanied by dust that appeared due to the loud bang and the weight of the armor.

"God! Also maybe! Protecting Demi-humans like elves? The fool!"

The knight taunted me with then he immediately attacked at full speed.

*ctang!

"Guh! You are strong, not to mention, that heavy sword... Huh! Don't doubt because your sword is good! it reduces your agility making it hard for you to dodge!"

He then retreated back and immediately ran to attack.

*ctang!

"Tch, stubborn."

He then continued with a series of attacks that cornered me a little.

"Well! I said what! Heavy swords are weakness!"

"..."

"God! Looks like it's enough for you, I'll end it right now."

He stopped attacking and then he retreated a few steps.

"Yes!!"

Immediately he darted like an arrow released from his bow, he placed his sword near his shoulder and then he swung it downwards.

"!?"

"It seems like the attack has already begun."

Jorga said to his friend who was sitting pensively looking at his trembling food.

"Ah, I know."

The atmosphere became a little quiet and then some people ran to save themselves.

"Eh? Uh...?"

The confused Meli was digesting the situation.

"Humans are attacking, we have to leave before we get caught..."

Alvin seriously finished his meal and then immediately stood up.

"Invasion begins, it's time we go. Go Meli!"

Jorga then pulls Meli's hand, but she refuses.

"What's wrong? Let's go, it's dangerous for us!"

"Jorga's right, we should get going."

"But, I'm sure my parents are looking for me now..."

With a little moody Meli tried to stay.

"Aghhh! Nevermind! Think of yourself! Your parents may be gone or he may not be in town!"

"That's impossible! My parents are great people! They're strong! There's no way they'll give up!"

A drop of tears came down.

"Hey, Jorga, you're too hard for this girl..."

Alvin said and calmed Meli.

"I understand that but, we have to evacuate immediately..."

He continued, but Meli answered,

"I will keep looking. You guys go, I gotta keep looking."

"Ha.... The troublesome girl..."

"All right, I'll help you."

Jorga complains, while Alvin patiently accepts, they soon set out for some small alley and return to their destination despite the invasion.

The attacks suddenly changed and the target was the children behind.

'Ware!!'

"Dooooo!"

Zena deflects her attack using her thin rapier.

*bingg...

"Gh!?"

Because of his turning attack, the knight was knocked down. Meanwhile the other soldiers only saw us fight.

Guh! Damn them looking for spectacle material!

"Ha... I thought you were human too, apparently an elf... Huh! But also good..."

He glanced at various places!? Hahhh!? That's mine basic knight maniac fight!!!

"..."

"Hohou, I get it. But I don't care about elves! Killed you!"

He immediately darted like before, but he quickly targeted his vital organs.

"Tch!"

I quickly moved to repel his attack.

*ctang!

"Hm... Not bad for a heavy sword, a bad conbination isn't it?"

"Much talk!"

I quickly slammed his attack. He crashed a little further, however, he then attacked again.

"I'm coming!"

At first glance I remembered something I put in [storage] during the attack in Yuma city.

"..."

I took it fast and threw it right into the knight's eyes.

"Well!? My eyes!?"

He called off the attack and retreated.

What I threw was the mud that I used to make tools while at us Yuma, maybe it was ridiculous but, [Storage] could store things without changing their shape and form, he said, time and space in [Storage] will not run or arguably time does not run in it. That's why the mud I threw stayed wet and didn't dry out.

*whus!

I quickly attacked him.

*ctang!

The sound of the sword hitting sounded loud.

"May you also be a heavy sword!"

With her eyes closed from the pain, she managed to fend it off using her feelings. He's dangerous.

For a moment, I remember. The way to harness the power of a heavy sword is to relax your hand when it slashes or strikes. Due to its weight, its power will become faster because we do not push it.

It's like you dropped an item with you hitting an item. Then his strength would be clearly different. When you drop an item, it will look weak, but when you hit it it will be much more painful. Then with their combination, be this attack.

The trick is to swing it with all your strength and then relax. It was effective to add to the relatively heavy sword attack power like this sword.

I learned it accidentally. Well even if it's thanks to my memory of playing games..

"Yahoo!"

I added my strength to the attack, but it seemed as if the knight lightly prevented me and pushed me back.

"Heh, you think that'll work? I admit, your attack was great, but could it really kill me?"

'Damn it...'

The children I protected with Zena were worried.

Now what am I supposed to do?

My energy was running out but the knight looked calm. Fuck this!
