I jumped over the fence that surrounded the village and went towards the British men that were harming the village. I took my sword and began taking out the enemies. The first man I killed was a young man that seemed to be overwhelmed by the emotions of lust as he was held onto a woman in his arms.
I ran towards him and raised my sword to kill him. I slashed his neck which caused him to let go of the woman. I jumped forward and caught the woman before setting her on the ground carefully. She shivered in my arms.
"Where are the others?" I asked desperately.
The woman didn't respond but barely pointed in the direction that took me the West of the village. I channeled my holy power into her to heal her form anything that she may of suffered before. I then gestured her to enter in a house and lock it so that no one could enter.
I then sprinted towards the West of the village. On the way there, I saw many women at the mercy of the British. My anger from before I came only grew each time I saw a British man. I suddenly had the urge to kill every British man I see.
The moment my eyes laid on the British men who held the women, I killed them in the spot and healed the women that were at their mercy. I received many thanks from the women. I wanted to stay here and protect them but I still haven't found Jeanne yet.
I gave the same set of instructions I gave to the first woman. I then set off going towards the West of the village. As soon as i arrived, I was met with Jeanne protecting someone from the british. The man was huge. He seemed to be around 6 foot 5 inches. His muscles barely about to rip the armor off of himself. I immediately ran with my sword towards him and began attacking.
The man seemed to notice me and deemed me a pest that needed to be exterminated
"So it seems like a man still survived our terror. I shall kill you and savor this lovely woman here." Said the man as he licked his lips at Jeanne.
I held my emotions back since it wasn't going to help me face against this man. I held a good grip on my sword and went towards him. The man pulled out his sword and blocked my attack and began throwing his own at the same time. I blocked his attacks but it seemed that the body I have currently can't handle the amount of strength that the man in front of me has been throwing at me has.
I kept me head cool and kept attacking the man with all the strength that this body has. Eventually I was able to wear down the man and finally landed a deadly blow to the man's abdomen. I took advantage that the man was finally tired and began thru my sword like a rapier.
I kept landing my attacks and made the man bleed so much that he could barely even stand up right. The man then smiled and then suddenly had a surge of strength come into him. I saw the man staring to glow red as he channelled the unknown power into himself. The man then yelled and ran towards me. This took me off guard and the man was able to take me down to the ground and relentlessly stabbed me with his sword.
I coughed out blood with each attack the man gave me. But despite me being stabbed repeatedly, I was channeling my holy power into my body which kept me alive. The man stopped for a second and took a breath. I immediately took advantage of his sudden break and stabbed him with my sword.
Though this wasn't enough to finish him off, I still kept stabbing him in the abdomen. I overturned the tables and was able to pin him down. I immediately thrusted my hand deep into his chest and began channeling dark magic to try to kill him. But it ultimately didn't work. It seemed as though he the dark magic since he seemed to recover immediately as I plunged my dark magic into him.
The tables turned over once again and I was at the disadvantage now than the man. I held onto my sword with my right hand and began the sword battle with him again. Though it felt like I was fighting against a dragon since the man seemed to notice longer get tired.
He blocked my attacks like it was nothing, while I was tanking his hits. Each attack I defended against only placed strain onto my hands and arms.
I didn't want to use this ability of mine but I had too since my current body condition was not the best. I immediately started to chant in an ancient language that no one knew except me. After I finished chanting, I immediately touched the man and began draining his vitality and magic power to make it my own.
The man that I was fighting against slowly started to get weaker by the second. I pushed the man to his limits by using most of my strength in the attacks. Eventually the man fell unconscious and never rose of up the ground.
I placed my hand under his nose to see if he's breathing. Nothing.
I went towards Jeanne and lifted up her shivering body. I pulled a blanket and placed it over her with the person she was protecting.
'Seems like she was terrified by the man. Let's hope she's able to recover from that.' I thought to myself.
"Jeanne, what happened to the village while I was gone?" I asked her.
Jeanne with her shaky coarse voice answered.
" The British wanted to take over our village since it's the closest towards the crown Prince. Those vile monsters dared to rape the women of the village upon the capture of it. I secretly killed one of the men and took his sword. I proceeded to kill many of the British men. Ultimately, British men were getting restless and went for the women. I decided to distract them and have the women travel to the near town south of us." Said Jeanne before falling asleep.
I lifted her and the person she protected to a house near the us. I went around the village and killed the rest of the British that still remained here. I then went looking for the women that Jeanne talked about and brought them back here. The village the south of us was too far for them to walk.
There was barely any men left in the village. Only women and children were left. I knew that we had to repair the village and bury the dead. I went to towards the forest near us and cut down some trees to for some wood and got some bricks to repair most of the buildings here.
I had the help of the women and children here to repair the houses. It took a while to repair them, but eventually we were able to repair the buildings. Afterwards, I built a new wall to protect them for any more attacks. I secretly placed a barrier to protect them from any attempts of attacks.
I wiped my head from the sweat I had as I finished with the last barrier.
"That should protect them from any more attacks. I should check up on Jeanne." I said as I walked towards the house I placed Jeanne and the other person inside of.
I opened the door only to see an angel talking to Jeanne.
"Archangel Michael?" I said.
Archangel Michael looked towards me as I called him.
"Oh sir, Arthur. Nice to meet you here." Said Michael.
I walked towards Michael and bowed before him. The archangel Michael was the one who personally chose me to face against the demon King of my world. He said that I was the true hero despite the prophecys saying it was the another person.
"Sir Michael, could I talk to you alone for a second?" I asked him.
"Yes, my child." Said Micheal as he gestured me to another room.
I followed him towards the room and closed the door. I then placed a sound proof barrier so that Jeanne couldn't hear over our conversation.
" How did you get here?" I asked Michael.
"France is in quite the situation, so I got God to have Jeanne to be the Saint that could lead France into a new age just like the Actual Arthur Pendragon did for Britain." Responded Michael.
"..."
"What? You know what, I don't care anymore. I just need to help Jeanne on her journey." I said while opening the door to go back to where Jeanne was at.
"So, Arthur. What did you talk about with his Holiness?" She asked.
I sat down on a chair near a table before responding to her question.
"I just asked what his purpose for being here and responded with that he had a mission for you. Though he didn't tell me as he was going to tell you right now. Right, Sir Michael?" I said to her.
"Ah, yes." Said Micheal as he came out the room.
"My purpose of coming from the heavens was to inform you of your mission with Saint Margaret and Saint Catherine. I wonder if they got lost on the way here." He said to Jeanne.
Just as he said that, both of the saints he mentioned finally arrived.
"Sir Michael, why did you leave us and went ahead of time?" Asked one of them.
"Oh sorry. I was so excited to see this potential Saint that I accidentally went ahead of time. I apologize for it." Said Michael as he bow down his head in apology.
The two Saints immediately started to panic and kept saying to Michael not to apologize.
After a few minutes of hearing the Saints apologizing towards Michael, they finally turned towards Jeanne.
"Greetings Jeanne, I'm Saint Catherine and my companion here is Saint Margaret. We're here by the calling of Archangel Michael to bestow you your mission." Said Catherine.
"Yes, we're here to tell you that you need to raise your sword and battle against the rising English dragons. Set France free from the shackles that causes it to plunge into darkness. You and Sir Arthur will set on a journey to seek the audience of the Crown Prince and convince him to fight on the field against the British with an army at your disposal." Said Margaret.
Jeanne looked at the three of them and went to her knees and prayed towards God. I was barely able to hear what she was saying but If I were to guess she was probably thanking him or something like that.
She lifted herself off the ground and went towards the three of them and bowed down.
"I shall accept the task that you have presented to me." Said Jeanne.
"Thank you Jeanne. We are grateful that you accepted the quest. Now go and do your mission." Said the three of them in unison.
