She seemed to have materialized from the shadows. In fact her dark hair still smoked like the dark night.
She looked as if her body was but a part of the night and only her face with a part of her body had been allowed by the darkness to be seen.
It was none other than Ngozi.
In her hands were two Short knives. Both of which were stained with blood.
She waved them sharply in the air.
*WUSH!*
Wiping away the blood stains on them.
"Nice!" Xena clapped, "sister Ngozi got the big guy."
Carren frowned, "hey, I wanted to kill that one."
"Ngozi turned to her and smiled, "don't worry Sister Carren, I'll let you have the next one."
"The next one!?" Caren asked.
Xena nodded, "yes! she is right. I see four more like that one in the distance."
Caren giggled as she waved her sword ready to fight.
Just as Xena had said, they were four more mini giants rushing their way.
The earth shook to their charge for the manor's walls.
"This will be fun!" Ngozi whispered as she slipped back into the shadows.
Carren waved her sword, Kicking against the ground.
*Boom!*
She kicked against the ground as she rushed for the first Giant. She was like an arrow that had been let free from its bow, Zooming through the air with incredible speed.
Xena too not wanting to be left behind also entered the battle.
"Let's hurry up and clean this place before our Hubby comes back," Ngozi's voice echoed through the night and both women nodded in agreement with her.
limbs, blood and other organs went into the air as the Clown lot were slaughtered like lambs on a butcher's table.
Victoria watched from the safety behind the walls.
This was a very interesting show. Although bloody and slightly chaotic, she could not just peel her eyes from the elegance and battle supremacy of the three women.
"So those her his women. They are really incredible!"
Meanwhile, on a hill top not so far away from the estate, Clown saw what was happening. He could see as his minions were being slaughtered.
It vexed him and he could not help but ball his fist.
Orders were Orders, and The Grand Order was very strict with rules. He had already gone too far with a mission that was not his. He was not allowed into the battle field just yet.
Also, getting the Tablet was not his mission but Viscounts.
Entering the fight personally will definitely bring significant punishment his way.
In his anger, he turned about, punching a tree that was closest to him.
Afterwards, he walked away.
A few seconds after he left, the cold winter wind blew, and as it did, the Once big and sturdy tree washed away with it like it was dust in a dessert.
.....
Meanwhile, Eros went back to his Inn.
He came back quite late in the night.
Dan that he had kept as a watch in his room was fast asleep on his bed.
Eros came close to the boy and covered him properly with a blanket, "Sleep well boy. We will be having an adventure tomorrow."
The next day came as fast as it had always come.
Everyone had gotten enough sleep. At least that was what was expected.
However, Eros noticed that Lady Frostbite gave him the cold shoulder all morning.
Even when he greeted her to the nature of the good morning at the breakfast table, all she did was turn around and walk away.
Eros had turned in Dan's direction with a brow in question.
However, Dan shrugged his shoulders and looked away like it was not his business, concentrating on his bread and milk.
Eros looked at the boy intently. he knew his grandson well. He couldn't help but think there was something he was missing.
"Is there something you want to tell me!?"
"No Granddad. Its all good!" he took his milk and bread and ran back to his room.
Eros shrouded. His shoulders and continued with his meal.
A few hours later, it was time for them to leave.
The driver of the Carriage hurried to Eros and whispered something in his ear.
Eros nodded, "How many of them?"
"six sir!" the Driver answered.
"What is it Granddad?" Dan asked.
"Its nothing boy. Just some idiots that tried to steal our carriage last night but died in the process."
Eros turned to the Driver, "just report their deaths to the Inn keeper and let's be on our way."
"Sir!?"
"Yes," Eros answered.
"The Inn Keeper is amongst them."
"Oh!" Eros nodded, "the we best be on our way before more trouble arrives then. Bring the Carriage!"
"Yes sir, right away sir!"
The Driver brought the Carriage out. Dan opened it and got in.
Eros presented his hand to lady Frostbite to help her into the carriage, but she ignored him with a 'humph,' getting unto the carriage.
Eros raised a brow at this, but he quickly ignored it and got in the Carriage.
The journey was quickly resumed.
Their aim was to go through the Snake forest all the way to the Viscount's territory.
Back on the main road leading to the exit of the Bolos family territory, Eros noticed the state of the Soldiers.
many of them were coming back from the forest.
It seemed like things were worse today than they were yesterday.
This was evident by the many injured people coming back.
Eros even noticed something.
The Soldiers seemed to be carrying statures of other soldiers on their way.
"Hmmm!" Eros frowned. he had thoughts of what was happening, but reserved them to himself.
He turned to Dan in the carriage, bringing his face closer to his own.
"is there something wrong Granddad!?" Dan asked in surprise.
"it's nothing. Just needed to wipe some bread crumbs off."
However, Dan did not notice that there was a quick glow in Eros's eyes. It came and went just as quickly as it appeared.
Eros wiped Dan's face a bit. He gave him a smile. And then he tuned to Lady Frostbite.
Eros tried to get her attention, but she looked away from him.
He sighed lowly and let it go.
The carriage moved steadily. However, just when there got to the border leading into the forest, they were stopped.
"What is it?" Eros asked.
"There is a bit of an interruption on the road sir, I think you should see this."
Eros looked outside the window.
Just ahead of the carriage was a small group of soldiers. In front of them was a young man about the age of 17.
He was well dressed and the Insignia of the Bolos family was boldly on his chest.
"Hmmm!" Eros nodded, "I'll handle it."
He came down the carriage.
Eros walked forward as he approached, he could see that the soldiers tightened their grip around their weapons.
However, he was not bothered by this.
These people did not have cultivation levels that were worthy of his sight.
The young man in front stepped forward, "Good day, Baron Tate. I am Taylor Bolos Baroko, last son of Baron Bolos Baroko."
Eros nodded, "are you here to settle the score I have with your father?"
Taylor shook his head as he chuckled a little, "as much as I would want to impress my father by showing my filial nature with your head on a plater, I rather keep out of father's business. He never likes it when we get involved with his work. Besides, i will only be a fool to attack a Baron of the Almace kingdom in broad day light."
Eros nodded, "you seem like a very smart boy. So I'll go straight to the point. Why are you obstructing my Carriage from passing?"
"Well, i wonder if you are aware of this, but the Snake forest is currently in terrible chaos. The Soul Beasts are restless and even the Snake trees are causing a lot of problems. When my Father left for the Viscounts birthday, things had been better and even he left with a lot of soldiers. You on the other hand," Taylor peeped behind Eros and took a look at the carriage. He shook his head, "I would advice that you leave your death to the hands of my father. At least that way, you get to be buried honorably in your barren land."
"Oh!" Eros Chuckled lightly, "its nice to see that you worry so much for my life, but don't worry, I will not be done in so easily, and who knows, Your father's head might just be on that Plater."
After saying this, Eros Waved his hand and a gold coin was shot to the ground before Taylor.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "That is the fee for going through the gate."
Without checking to see whether Taylor picked up the coin or not, Eros walked back to his Carriage.
Taylor waved his hand and the Soldiers part ways for the carriage to pass.
As the carriage passed, Taylor frowned.
A Female soldier walked forward, "are we really allowing him to pass? After all, he killed Captain Bulk!"
Taylor raised a hand to stop her, "I know you want revenge for your elder brother. Don't worry, I only stopped them as noble customs permit. this is the Snake forest. Lets let the Medusas deal with them."
