Ivory and Sigmund charged uphill as fast as they could, until they almost reached the peak and saw Josie and Jokerion standing ahead of them.
But when they were five meters near them, the clown Spirit Servant raised his cloak, and several daggers suddenly appeared to dart towards them!
“Sigmund, the plan!” Ivory yelled as they dodged the incoming daggers in separate directions, thinking they would also be followed separately!
But alas, Josie and Jokerion followed Ivory together!
Sigmund, who was still closely watching his beloved Master, stopped his tracks and tried to go back to Ivory’s direction. But as soon as he turned, Jokerion’s twelve daggers pierced his arms and legs!
“Sigmund!!!” Ivory screamed with her eyes widened, shocked to see her beloved Servant easily harmed.
The Vampire Servant took a look at the daggers that pierced his flesh. He noticed that it went through his armor.
There was no blood, yet the pain was real!
Ivory could only watch Sigmund behind her opponents, lying down the forest soil as he yelled in pain. As tears rolled down her cheeks, she stared at Josie, “You do not want to show mercy, huh? Then, I am going to take things even more seriously from now on!”
When their enemies saw Ivory’s light blue irises glowed, they stepped back. As more tears fell from her eyes, more Silverblade mana was incorporated into her normal mana. She held her staff in front of her, and the black and white orbs radiated with a red light.
Ivory’s action caused Josie and Jokerion to move further away from her, afraid of what she might do. Jokerion, already gaining the full trust of his Master, acted on his own. He dragged the unconscious Sigmund, whose body had already weakened, with them.
Questioning the actions of her Spirit Servant, she said in a worried tone, “Why did you take him?”
“Master, this is for your victory,” Jokerion responded while the two of them went downhill, away from Ivory’s sight.
Because the Spirit Servant was wearing a jester mask, Josie couldn’t see what kind of expression he had. But she couldn’t blame her Servant at all; she knew that as a Servant, he only just wanted the best for her.
After all, Servants existed to serve their Masters in their lifetime.
But what worried Josie the most was to lose Ivory’s trust. She was starting to become someone like a friend to her, that was why she had second thoughts.
“Master, if you want to win this competition, we should not give them a chance. Anything is okay as long as we do not kill them, right? So please, do not worry too much,” Jokerion assured her, finally dragging and placing the unconscious Sigmund under one of the cypress trees.
“I trust you, but I am afraid Ivory would-”
“Master Josie, if you trust me, why do you keep on asking about my decision?” he glanced at her.
She sighed, “It is not like that. It’s just that… Ivory is-”
Jokerion explained, “Master, I pledged my whole life to serve you. If the trust you have given me has already decreased, then it will be my failure as a Servant. Apologies, Master-”
“No, you are not a failure!” Josie’s lips trembled as she tugged his sleeves. What did she just do? How could she distrust her Servant at this time?
Seconds later, there were sudden explosions in the direction of the peak!
Josie uttered, “She must be casting a spell already!”
“She can cast Advanced spells and destroy the whole forest, but she’d lose that way. She’d be spending more mana than us,” Jokerion explained. He took a closer look at Sigmund and made sure that he was not yet awake, before he continued saying, “If our enemies knew that my blades are fully made of your mana, they’ll know how to counter it.”
“Plus, my level 3 dagger weapon can give extra power to the blades you created. It can disable someone from using magic by blocking the mana flowing in their body. I think we should-”
Their conversation was halted due to another explosion!
“She’s coming for us!” Josie warned. “Let’s run further downhill. Just leave her Servant there. He won’t be able to move with the daggers on his body, as long as I have enough mana to leave it on him.”
With that, Josie and Jokerion ran away, leaving Sigmund lying on the ground. Moments later, Ivory found him still unconscious under. Her eyes stopped glowing as she became emotional in seeing her beloved pierced by several daggers.
“Sigmund…” she wiped her tears, “I am already here. Please wake up!”
Upon hearing her voice, the Vampire’s eyelids slowly opened. “I…vory…” he muttered, “Don’t look… I’m pathetic… Ugh!” he felt as if his body was being hit by a metal rod!
“I’ll get these daggers away from you!” Ivory told him and bent her knees at Sigmund’s side.
Though odd as it might seem, Ivory actually heard Josie and Jokerion’s conversation about the true composition of the daggers. She couldn’t explain how or why she did, but it was as if she had heightened hearing while her ears were damn itchy. Aside from that, her nose was starting to act up; it was too moist as if she suddenly caught a cold. But, she could not care about it at the moment because of the battle.
Ivory’s eyes glowed once again as she used the Silverblade mana to take out the blades one by one. She gripped each handle and pulled them out from different parts of his body, such as his arms, chest, abdomen, thighs, and legs.
Sigmund screamed in pain each time a dagger was pulled out. He did not expect such magic technique to be the one to take him down. It was as simple as it may seem, but it was actually very brutal for the one being stabbed.
After she successfully took them out, she asked him with tears in her eyes, “How do you feel? Do you need to replenish mana?”
He sat back up, and touched his arms and legs. Knowing that he could move freely already and that the pain was gone, he shook his head. “My mana did not decrease. I think the daggers only blocked my movement,” the Vampire said in a serious tone. He stood up, and also helped Ivory stand up, “We need to devise a plan before time runs out.”
Ivory furrowed her brows. She clenched her fists, trying to hold back her tears. She thought she would lose Sigmund easily like that. Seeing him in pain made her panic that she almost burned down the whole forest. If she did not hear the conversation of her opponents, perhaps she’d already lose almost all of her mana before they even prepared an all-out attack.
“Ivory,” Sigmund uttered, patting her head, “Get a grip. I’m alright now, so-”
“I want to hug you tightly, but everyone will see us…” she whispered.
The Vampire smirked, “After this battle, let’s replenish mana in the dressing room.”
Ivory’s cheeks turned red as a tomato, and she nodded at him with a smile.
After talking about their new plan, they ran downhill and searched for Josie and Jokerion.
Ivory sniffed continuously, wanting to get the moist out of her nose.
Sigmund noticed this, and he commented, “You caught a cold?”
“Maybe,” she replied, “But this is nothing, I-” she smelled something and stopped him from moving.
Her Servant stopped and looked back at her, “What’s wrong?”
“I smell her perfume,” Ivory was so sure that it was Josie’s perfume, because she commented on it during their lunch time. It was a strong fragrance of jasmine flower, which was not present in the forest during her battle with Asher Riclett.
“Really? I can’t smell anything,” he responded.
Ivory followed the direction of the scent, asking Sigmund to go with her. The more the scent went stronger, the more cautious she became.
“Sigmund… they’re nearby.”
The Vampire was confused as to how she was able to smell such scent like a dog, but he just nodded at her. Using his heightened hearing, he focused on listening to any faint sounds nearby.
Suddenly, they heard the rustling of leaves, and several daggers came flying towards them!
