Chapter 252: Plan Start Part 3
Chapter 252: Plan Start Part 3
Freya Pov:
When the second enemy appeared, things got difficult, I had to help Ivan to finish this Minotaur soon.
Ivan kept dodging the Minotaur's attacks, each time he dodged he cuts points on his body where large amounts of blood come out, the Minotaur seems to be getting weaker but is still fighting tightly.
I wait for an opportunity and stand with my arrow pointed, focus my mana on the arrow and use a spell creating magic circles around the arrow, with the quality of this bow and arrow I can put two magic circles on the arrow without breaking.
So just as Ivan uses a blast of fire under the Minotaur, knocking him into the air, I shoot my arrow into his one good eye.
"< Speed Boost > ×2" (I)
My arrow was very fast, it hit the target in less than a second, with that I managed to blind the Minotaur.
When the Minotaur is starting to fall Ivan takes the opportunity and jumps towards him to use the force of the jump along with the force of the Minotaur's fall, then he uses his sword to cut off the Minotaur's head.
Boommm!!!
At that moment Ivan and I hear a muffled explosion, when I turn to see Irius and Sophia fighting I realize that their enemy is bigger than the last time, in addition he has a hole in his belly, as expected this enemy seems not caring about that hole in her belly and so much attacking Sophia and Irius.
At that moment Ivan takes one of the Minotaur's spears and throws it with all his strength piercing the enemy's head, which appears to be a red Orc from behind.
With this attack the enemy drops dead, so the four of us gather.
"What happened to your enemy? Was he that big before?" (I)
"He seemed to have the Berserk Mode ability." (Irius)
"So you guys did very well to fight him and get so few injuries." (Ivan)
"Actually you saved us with that spear, to be honest I was sure that hole in his belly was going to kill him." (Sophia)
"I don't know how you guys made that hole, but I can tell you that any normal enemy would have died or been paralyzed by the pain." (Ivan)
"These two were strangers, they seemed to have no fear, no pain and no appreciation for life itself." (I)
"That must have been what the village people were telling us about." (Irius)
"Yes, enemies like that are dangerous, besides they were very aggressive." (Sophia)
"What should we do now? As far as I know there were only two generals." (Ivan)
"We were only in charge of fighting these two, so I don't know what to do now either." (I)
"Maybe it's better to stay here, Nix and Layla can send some of the troops here." (I)
"It's fine by me." (Ivan)

Pov Helena:
After arriving at Lamias village I managed to convince the village leader and my mother's eternal rival to let us join her army.
I know my mother wouldn't want that as she was so proud, but if she had accepted the proposal to join forces with the Lamias earlier then so many of my Arachne sisters wouldn't have died, even she could be alive too, I always knew that my mother's excessive pride would lead us to disaster one day, she was an excellent leader, but her pride limited her vision.
I won't make the same mistakes she did, I will follow my will and all my sisters still alive, we will fight Farus to get our revenge or die on the battlefield for what we believe in, I and the others can't stand this rage and hatred in our hearts otherwise.
When talking about the attack on the village and the death of my mother, I could see that the leader of the Lamias really respected my mother in the same way that my mother respected her, if the two weren't so hardheaded they could have been friends.
After speaking with the village leader, we entered the village carrying our wounded sisters and the few things we were able to carry when we fled our village.
Upon entering the village, I noticed the variety of races and the large number of people, it made me have a little hope of defeating Farus.
In the place where the wounded were being treated, we ended up meeting two strange people, who were healing everyone.
They were two women who looked human, these two were able to use powerful healing magic, thanks to them almost all my sisters recovered quickly, I even regained the two legs I had lost.
Inside the village I heard about the reinforcements they were going to get outside the mountain range and about the plan they were going to use.
I was very happy with this plan, we Arachne are good with ambushes, this type of plan fits with our way of fighting, but I was still surprised by the kid who proposed this plan.
When the plan was put into practice I was again surprised, they used Water and Wind Elemental Mages to create a large area of thick fog.
I entered the Dungeon whose gate came out of the shadow of the strange boy who proposed this plan, it looks like he is a Dungeon Master.
When the plan started I was left in an area full of traps, I had a map of that floor with the traps marked on the map.
Along with me there were several dozen people from the village, I also had one of the women who helped heal my sisters as well as me, I learned her name was Vanessa.
Talking to her was pleasant, it was also a way to pass the time while we waited for Farus' troops to be dropped here.
When I saw the space begin to ripple and the undead being thrown around with many falling into holes that had magic circles of light element attack rituals inside, hearing the screams of the undead was more pleasurable than I imagined it would be.
Soon we started attacking the undead that were outside the traps, I fight using magic, then I make two Golems to protect myself while attacking by creating large rocks to crush the skeletons and create stone spears restricting the zombies' movements to let others kill them, or use my threads to tie them.
As I fought I marveled at the ease of this battle, even though some were still hurting, I was happy to see that of our allies died in the battle.
I was also happy to see Vanessa fight, her powerful light element spells dealt heavy damage to the undead, when she used area attacks it dealt massive damage to enemies.
One of the things that helped us was that there was no one to lead these Undead here, so they were attacking without any sort of formation or strategy, unlike us, so it was an easy victory.
After a while without any of the undead showing up we received the message that all enemies were killed, which included two generals of Farus, we were told that we were heading back to the village now, so I approached to talk to Vanessa.
"You said your Father created this plan, right?" (I)
"Yes, you must have seen him." (Vanessa)
"Yes, but I didn't imagine he would have children, he looks like a child." (I)
"That's because we are Vampires, my Father is a Patriarch." (Vanessa)
"That makes more sense, at least it explains why your father is so smart, even though he looks so young." (I)
"He must be a lot older than he looks." (I)
"I must say that I am very happy that you are here, this plan would be impossible without you, apart from this uncle of plan I can't think of anything else we could do to fight Farus." (I)
"You said you wanted revenge for your mother's death, right?" (Vanessa)
"Yes, for the death of my mother and my sisters Arachne, so I'm glad I decided to come to the village of Lamias." (I)
"With you on our side I hope to carry out my revenge." (I)
"For all I know, those who seek revenge always end up badly." (Vanessa)
"I advise you not to seek revenge, seek justice instead." (Vanessa)
"Those who seek revenge are consumed by it, but those who seek justice are strengthened by its goals, remember that." (Vanessa)
"…" (I)
"(I don't care what you call it, all I want is to see Farus' body wrecked on the floor like the dirt he is.)" (I)
After Farus' troops were annihilated we head back to the village the same way we left, with only two people who can hide in the shadows walking in the mountain range, while the rest of us are inside the dungeon.
Today I return to the village happy knowing that I took the first step towards my revenge and that the entire village took the first step towards victory against Farus.
As long as we keep fighting like this, we will be able to reduce the numbers of Farus' army, I hope I can fight in all the battles, I want to be on the front line to destroy Farus and his servants with my own hands.
I want to see everyone dead with those two sets of eyes.
But I must not think about that now, as a new member of the village council and as the representative of Arachne in the village, I have to attend today's meeting where we will review how the plan went.
