Laria headed toward the high wall, looking down at it. Sherry was surprised by the strange aura that began to appear on Laria.
"Come on, Sherry, hold my hand. We'll go in."
Sherry was surprised by Laria's words, but she held her hand, and they entered the city.
The city was in a deplorable state. There were neglected trees, a polluted river, and women carrying firewood.
"This way."
Laria followed Sherry as she headed home.
At that time, Sherry's mother was watering the plants.
"Mom, mom."
Sherry's mother turned to her and hugged her. "My dear, where were you?"
"I was in the garden playing with the butterfly, and suddenly I saw soldiers, but this girl saved me."
Her mother looked toward the approaching girl. "Hello, it's nice to meet you."
Laria bowed at that moment as a sign of respect. "It's nice to meet you, too."
Sherry. "Mom, her name is Laria. She saved me from the soldiers who tried to kill me. She defeated them easily."
At that moment, a soldier approached their house. "Where's the money, woman?"
Sherry's mother lowered her eyes to the ground. "I haven't collected the money yet. Give me a few days."
The soldier called some warriors to arrest the woman immediately.
Sherry hugged her mother at that moment. "You won't take her."
The soldier was furious. "You idiot, go away."
Before the man could hit the girl, Laria grabbed his hands and pulled him away.
"Who are you, girl?"
"It doesn't matter, but don't treat a woman like that, you idiot."
At that moment, everyone drew their swords in front of Larya.
"Kill her."
The soldiers attacked, but Laria dodged the first strike, caught one by the arm, and hurled him toward another.
Sherry was amazed. "Wow, that's amazing."
The two soldiers attacked Laria together, but she jumped high, dodging their attack.
"I advise you to flee before you are destroyed."
The soldier was agitated. "You can't, little one. We are too strong. Our king is the strongest person on this planet."
Before the soldier could finish speaking, Laria cut him down with her sword, ending his life.
"This matter has reached your king, then."
Laria looked toward the other soldier, but he dropped the sword and fled.
"This matter has reached your king then."
Laria looked toward the other soldier, but he dropped the sword and fled.
The soldier quickly ran toward the royal palace to inform the soldiers and the king.
"My lord, my lord."
The king was about 40 years old, holding a scepter in his hands. He was sitting. "What is it, young man?"
"We were collecting taxes, my lord, when a young woman appeared out of nowhere... and slaughtered everyone."
The king stood up at that moment, looking furious. "What are you saying, man?"
The soldier swallowed. "I killed them, my lord. She has a sword and cut the commander in half. She told me to send you a message."
The king became angry and slammed the scepter on the ground. "Who is challenging me? Just a girl. Tell the soldiers to bring that girl here so I can show them who she's talking to."
He rallied some swordsmen and threw them toward the girl.
A group of warriors rallied around the swordsmen and threw arrows at the girl.
At that moment, Larya, Sherry, and her mother were in a house.
"These people have always been bad to us. They treated us rudely. They would arrest and torture us."
Laria placed her hands on Sherry's mother's shoulders. "Don't worry, my lady. This will end soon."
Sherry heard voices from outside the house. She went to look out the window and saw a group of warriors directly in front of the house, with arrows thrown behind them.
Laria, without hesitation, stepped out in front of them, mocking them. "So what happens next? I'll kill you all, just as I did the ones before you. Doesn't your king have any puppies against me? Isn't he the greatest?"
The warrior. "The king won't face the likes of you. To him, you're just a cockroach. We'll do the job and kill you."
He swung his arrows straight at Larya.
"Fire."
The arrows flew through the air like a sharp gust, but suddenly stopped before they could touch Larya, bouncing off in all directions as if they'd hit an invisible wall.
Laria smiled sideways and said lightly.
"Looks like brushing your red hair took a little longer than it should have... Rita."
The owner of the voice laughed as she approached, the pages of a magical book fluttering around her as if she were floating in the air.
It was Rita short red hair that shone like flames, and blue eyes that glowed with life.
Her white face was illuminated by the light of the spells. Her long nose gave her a sharp appearance, and her small lips curled into a faint smile that concealed a deep confidence.
"Sorry for being a little late, my dear friend, but I was brushing my beautiful, soft, red hair. It's not like yours."
Laria was furious. "What's with my hair, you idiot? It's rare and uncommon."
Rita didn't care and smiled sideways. "When we're done, we'll ask the people of this city."
The soldiers attacked Rita and Laria at that moment, also firing arrows.
Rita stopped the arrows and diverted them directly to them.
While Larya drew her sword and continued to face them, she continued.
"Do you need any help, Larya?"
Laria fought and killed one of them. "No thanks, I'll finish it myself."
Rita gasped from the rooftop, watching her friend fight with the sword.
Laria stood, fighting all the warriors left and right, nimbly dodging all their blows until she was finished.
"Not difficult."
Sherry was excited. "You took them all down so easily. That's our savior."
Then she quickly went over to hug her.
Rita said, "What a beautiful sight to be hugging that little one, Laria."
Rita climbed down from the rooftop and ran her hands through Sherry's hair. "Don't worry, sweetheart. It'll all be over now, won't it, Sasha?"
Laria."I don't think she came with you, Rita."
Rita became angry at that moment. "That hateful idiot will eventually be finished with or without her. Let's go."
