"Have at you!!" elia charged at her oppo once more. This time, she was going to impale that sinner her noble might!

  WHISH! The silver through the air like a bullet! It was headed straight into the target's vitals!

  Hmph, you dodge it this time? With this noble momentum I have!? I dare you!

  Uhe previous attack, elia delivered this thrust from peak speed. There was simply no way this oner would be able to sidestep it!

  And ihe man did not sidestep it. heless, the attack missed his vitals.

  "Wha-!?" elia excimed. "You coward...!"

  Instead of sidestepping, Hitter rolled away! The nerve of this peasant!

  "e here and receive your punishment like a man!" elia drht past her target again. To make things worse, she had to travel quite a distance due to iia.

  Truly, it was unfortuhis eed could ever e to a halt. It was like driving a speeding car without any brakes.

  On paper, elia liked the idea of charging nonstop. However, it felt terrible whetacks missed and she o do a course corre.

  This time. elia asserted. This time, I shall impale you for sure!

  This was likely lia's st ce to get anything done before eed expired. Therefore, she trated her everything on this one final attack!

  "I suggest you skip Hitter and focus on his minions," Fiona said. "They are already at death's door, so you finish them off with another sweep."

  "Hrm, that does sound doable, yes." elia nodded. "However, I must reject that suggestion! My top priority is Hitter! I must smite him down!"

  "Listen, you will have a much better ce of winning this fight if you eliminate his minions first."

  "Hmph. At that point, he will simply retreat," elia argued. "This is not the oute I'm looking for."

  "Yes, he will retreat and you will get to push the ne. Is that not a great oute?"

  "It is nideed, but a noble should not be satisfied with that," elia asserted. "It is essential to thhly rip this man to shreds and teach him his pce, ond for all!"

  Clearly, it was too te to present any further arguments. elia was already locked oarget. SWISH! She drove forward while thrusting her nce!

  This time, Hitter made no attempt to dodge. Without Dodge Roll, he must have deemed it futile.

  Ohoho! Did my noble might faze you? elia grinned as she successfully delivered her strike. Accept your punishment, heretic!

  The nce pierced through the man's chest. bined with the momentum of the horse's dash, the attack looked beyond fatal! In real life, an assault like this would have impaled the Viking like barbeque.

  As, the game didn't replicate such realism. elia's nce simply went through the target, then she tinued riding onward. It was rather anticlimactic but it served its purpose as punishment.

  To make it even more disappointing, elia was hit in the process. Hitter unleashed Throw Axe, stig his barbarin ht into elia’s noble face!

  "Agh, the nerve of this peasant...!" elia ranted under her breath. Hmph, it seems he hasn’t learned his lessohis calls for another round of punishment!

  As, the eed expired shortly after elia struck her target. Furthermore, the horse carried her deep into her side of the ne as if worried about her safety, so now elia found herself a fair distance away from her target. What a shame.

  However, that didn’t remain the case for long. Though elia had no means of quickly closing the distao her oppo, the Viking did possess such a tool and decided to use it right away. BLINK!

  Gotcha, lol! Roi used Axe Blitz and appeared right in front of Lady. , let's tinue where we left!

  He activated Unstoppable Raid, calling on a bunch of savage pirates to his aid. Now, Roi and the bois were about to wreak some serious havoc!

  This development caught the enemy pletely off-guard. The pirl failed to respond to it, lol.

  "W-Wha!?" elia excimed. "Y-You damn rebel...!"

  A gang of filthy sdrels appeared before elia, blog the path to her tower. She wasn't even thinking about retreating until now, but suddenly the enemy removed the optioirely from the table!

  "elia, I hope you do not pn to engage in further bat here," Fiona said. "You must run past them aurn to the tower."

  "Are you tellio surrender against these intruders!?" elia gritted her teeth. Despite her bravado, she was fully aware she messed up. This wasn't the kind of position she expected to find herself in.

  The worst part was that elia didn't have any tools in her arsenal to deal with this sudden development. She had already exhausted her Shield Bash and eed, so the only skill left at her disposal was Honorable Duel, a taunt.

  All of them are already focused on me, so what good will it do to taunt them further? elia gritted her teeth as she circled around the enemy mob. Without any defeools, she was forced to endure an onsught of attacks.

  WHISH! WHAM! BAM! The sdrels assaulted her without holding back. They sshed her with unrefined bdes, hacked with rusty axes, and struck with cracked maces. Each of these primitive attacks tainted elia's noble body. It was absolutely disgusting.

  So, sidering these circumstahere was definitely no point in aggroing the minions any further. They were already 101% focused on elia at this point, so further taunting was unnecessary.

  However, Fiona disagreed. "Use your taunt. It will buff your defense."

  "ht, the buff! I-I mean, of course I khat!" elia procimed. "A noble such as myself would never fet that Honorable Duel buffs defense, ohoho!"

  "Then please use it."

  "Without further ado!" elia cast the taunt skill, making her Knight provoke the enemy gang.

  “Let us fight honorably!” the Knight shouted so, but clearly, there wasn't going to be a shred of honor in this fight. These filthy barbarians were ganging up on elia! Cowards!

  What about my own minions? elia gnced behind her. Hmph, what a useless lot.

  Since elia and Hitter both used mobility skills, they left all the minions in the dust. The entire pack was still in the middle of chasing the pyers, too far away to help elia in any meaningful way.

  It appears that retreat is the only option. elia bit her lip. Ugh, so shameful!

  From such a strong opening, the situation was reduced to su i mess. How did elia let it happen!?

  heless, on the von Galen name, I swear this: you will not get any kills here! elia rolled forward, dodging all the barbarian attacks in the process.

  Her tower wasn't that far away and she still had over 70% HP, so there was no reason to worry. At least, not unless something VERY ued were to happen.

  Alright, I’m almost there! A couple more steps and elia will safely reach her tower area. This is just a tactical retreat, mind you. In the wave, I’ll strike you twice as hard! She promised as much while she set foot in the safe zone.

  However, just as she was about to fully retreat to her territory, two arms ed around her from behind!

  “Wha-!?” One moment, elia was about to enter her tower area. Then, the very sed, she was flying high in the air!

  “W-Where did he e from-!?” elia’s brain, as noble as it was, failed to process this absurd development. How could this be!?

  The one who unched her high into the air was her than Average, the enemy Ninja! But, how could he be here!? He should’ve been all the way down in Bot Jungle!

  However, it turned out to be a ploy. Evidently, Average wasn’t in Bot like the ward suggested.

  Now, thanks to this surprise attack, elia found herself spinning high in the air along with Average. And, ohey reached the peak, it was time to go down! It was like a rollercoaster, except it wasn’t designed for the er’s fun.

  To make matters worse, the Ninja had some trarding the nding spot. He couldn’t move too far from the starting point, but he could offset it a little.

  So, what did the sneaky peasant do with this feature? Of course, he dragged elia away from her tower area! The nerve of this plebian…!

  BAM! elia crashed into the ground. Not only was her Knight dazed by the strong impact, but she was also a bit far from the tain.

  “Agh, susolence…!” elia retaliated verbally because it was the only thing she could do in this situation. “How dare you!? You deserve to be hanged for this, all of you!”

  But, the sdrels didn’t care for the noble’s wrath. They ganged up on the defenseless elia and ripped her to shreds.

  WHISH! STAB! WHAM! BAM! This wasn’t a fight, it was aion.

  You have been killed!
