NOVEL WEB Chapter 91: Fighting Together
Chapter 91 - Fighting Together
Orsted's first time in Rivira left him with visiting few areas, limiting Instant.
Racing toward Ais and Lefiya, he relied on raw speed.
A shrill flute pierced the air above Rivira, followed by a deafening roar.
Houses collapsed, and a massive monster's bellow echoed, smoke and flames rising from the town.
Orsted paused, glancing back, then shook his head and sped toward Ais.
Revis had unleashed Violas—enhanced plant monsters—to pin down Finn and his team.
Her next move would be seizing the Jewel Fetus from Ais.
Lili, Tifa, and Naaza were in Rivira, but safe.
With Finn, Riveria, Tione, Tiona, and Rivira's adventurers, the Violas posed little threat.
Lili and Tifa's protective magic items, and Naaza's presence, ensured their safety.
Ais's side, however, was perilous.
After a moment's hesitation, Orsted pressed toward Ais.
Ais and Lefiya, noticing Rivira's chaos, started back to join Finn but were halted.
A Viola burst from the rock face, its massive form blocking their path like a mudslide.
"Ais-san!" Lefiya cried, paralyzed.
She knew Violas reacted to magic; chanting would draw their wrath before she could finish.
Ais didn't falter.
Drawing Desperate, she cleaved the Viola in two.
But more erupted from the ground, charging them, and Lefiya screamed, "How?!"
A sword cut through, and the new Violas shattered, crumbling to ash.
"Orsted-san!" Lefiya shouted.
Orsted had arrived from the cliff.
Nodding to Lefiya, he joined Ais, and together they killed the Violas in seconds.
"Impressive, nearly as strong as the Sword Princess," Lulune Louie, the Hermes Familia adventurer who met Hashana, gasped.
She gaped at Orsted, wondering when Orario gained such a formidable adventurer.
No one answered her awe.
Ais and Orsted regrouped with Lefiya and Lulune.
"Thank you, Orsted," Ais said, nodding softly.
"You're welcome," Orsted replied.
"Ais-san, Orsted-san, we need to join captain!" Lefiya urged, eyeing Rivira's ongoing Viola assault.
"We can't leave yet," Orsted shook his head.
"You and Lulune go."
"Huh? Why?" Lefiya looked a bit puzzled.
Orsted turned, staring ahead.
Ais's gaze followed, fixed on a figure in heavy black armor approaching slowly.
Lulune trembled.
"That's the one! They're wearing Hasana's gear."
"They killed him!"
The figure vanished.
Orsted and Ais disappeared simultaneously.
Lefiya and Lulune stood bewildered.
A gust of wind pressure hit, hurling them back.
Struggling against it, Lefiya glimpsed the clash: Orsted and Ais had intercepted the black-armored figure.
Their weapons collided, shockwaves rippling from the impact.
'So fast—they're already fighting!' Lefiya thought, stunned.
Pain snapped her back as she hit the ground.
"Lefiya, you and Lulune leave," Orsted called.
"Yes!" Lefiya replied, grabbing Lulune and the wrapped Jewel Fetus, sprinting toward Finn.
"Don't even think about it!" a cold female voice rang from the armor, the figure vanishing again.
"You don't get to," Orsted and Ais countered.
They reappeared mid-air, Orsted and Ais blocking the armored figure's pursuit.
Lefiya realized the figure targeted her and the Jewel Fetus, accelerating toward Finn.
Explosions echoed behind, but Lefiya ignored them, running faster.
A soft landing followed, then a heavy thud.
Under Orsted and Ais's gazes, the black armor crashed down, splitting to reveal a bandaged male face on a female body.
"Well done," the figure said.
Revis tore off the face's skin, revealing short red hair and a striking face.
