Since the other guards were busy dealing with Taka, Yua could run free, leaving the four guards behind her.
“She ran so fast!” One of them shouted.
Arriving at the building wall, Yua took out a wed glove from her hand, then used it to climb. She was a bit clumsy because it was her first time doing it.
Meanwhile, the guards were getting closer. One of them had even jumped to catch the kunoichi’s leg.
Luckily, Yua climbed high enough that none of the guards managed to bring her down.
“Let me get the ropes!” One of them ran while the other shouted at Yua.
“Get off, you bitch!”
“You can’t escape us! You better give up now!”<sub>.</sub>
“Don’t mind them! Keep going up, Yua!!!” Raymund shouted too.
Yua had been involved in a very adrenaline-pumping sport. Still, she had never found herself in a crazy situation like this. She wanted to scream, even cry. However, her determination to save the vigers kept her going.
She grimaced as a rock the size of a fist hit her body. The kunoichi did stop moving, but it was only for a moment. Thanks to her magically enhanced outfit, she was only surprised and didn’t feel much pain.
Even throwing a katana didn’t work on her either. The arrows shot at her also have no effect. She was still able to climb the wall.
However, just as he was finally about to reach the roof, she saw one of the guards carrying a rope with an anchor. The kunoichi hastily climbed onto the roof as the anchor was thrown and caught on the edge.
Yua ran away, while the guards were able to quickly climb up. The woman then took out something from her body, a ball wrapped in bandages, with a small hole covered by a plug. It is another invention from Taka.
The kunoichi turned around, pulling the plug from the ball. Instead of throwing it, Yua rolled it like a bowling ball at her master’s suggestion.<sub></sub>
The ball exploded as soon as it reached the group of guards who had already started running towards Yua. They were thrown. Some even flew to the ground. Only one managed to escape. He ran while holding his katana high.
Yua managed to block the katana’s swing with her wakizashi. However, after that, she was overwhelmed. She rarely managed to fend off a series of shes and stabs from her foe. Most of the attacks hit her body, although she was still unharmed thanks to her special outfit.
This guard was faster than the four that Yua had dodged earlier.
It didn’t take long for the katana finally injured her left arm, a sign that the magical energy from her outfit had run out.
Even so, it is not a big problem. She was already so close to the enemy, only inches away.
The kunoichi took the anesthetic dart out of her hand and stabbed it into her opponent’s neck. That guard instantly stiffened, red at Yua, and fell.
Short of breath, Yua saw the result of her work. She couldn’t believe she had just defeated a well-trained soldier.<sub></sub>
“Don’t just stand around like that, Yua!” Raymund shouted. “Remember your mission!”
“Looks like a kunoichi can’t rest on a mission, huh?” Wiping the sweat on her forehead, Yua ran to the center of the building’s roof.
The kunoichi moved the tiles there, making a passage for herself to enter. After that, she took out the rope she had borrowed from Tamaki.
Just as she was about to tie the rope to a wooden frame, she heard the sound of anchors clinging to the edge of the roof.
“Damn it!” She hastily tied the rope to the frame.
“Don’t be too slow in descending! You still have to destroy the ceiling down there!” Raymund reminded his servant.
There was no more time for doubt. Yua jumped up while screaming. Her body plunged, crashing into the wooden ceiling below until it shattered. Then, she tightened her grip on the rope. However, it wasn’t strong enough to significantly reduce her fall speed.
And the distance from the floor is still quite far.
“Ooh, fuck meeee!!!”
Fortunately, shended on some kind of tall wooden monument. Her dive speed was greatly reduced, but the wooden monument shattered into pieces.
“Ahhh…” The kunoichi groaned because her whole body was in immeasurable pain.
“She jumped from here!?” A guard’s voice was heard from the roof far away. “She’s crazy!”
“She used a rope, but it looks like it broke!” Another guard chimed in.
“Get the rope too! We’re going down!” The third guard gave the order. “Somee in from another entrance! We’ll surround her so she can’t escape!”
“Sorry, I know you’re in a lot of pain, Yua,” Raymund said. The one who proposed the crazy idea him. “But, the guards wille to you soon. You have to break the seal before that happens. Just a little more.”
Instead of answering her master, Yuaughed, trying to suppress her suffering. The pain reminded her of the ident that killed her. At that time, she did not die immediately but had to feel the agony first.
Now he felt that way again, but the difference was that she could still move, albeit with a lot of struggle.
“Arrgghhhh!!!” Strengthening her resolve, Yua rose to her feet with trembling and slow movements.
“Maybe I’ve said it many times, but you really are amazing, Yua.” Raymund praised his servant, who miraculously stood up. The kunoichi was different from Elise in the first mission.
The female warrior had to get Raymund’s words to continue the mission. Meanwhile, Yua hadn’t given up at all.
The kunoichi’s gaze fell on a chunk of wood the size of an adult. A sheet of paper that is also massive in size is attached to that thing, decorated with calligraphy in ck ink.
“This may sound strange, Sir Raymund,” Yua said as she limped over to the chunk of wood. “But, I felt like I was chasing first ce from the very back… You know, like a fucked up race, when I had the incident in the firstp, so I was overtaken by all the other race drivers.”
Raymund was speechless after hearing that. It seemed tenacity had been running in the kunoichi’s blood from long ago.
“Please, don’t break this seal!” Suddenly a female priestess dressed in white stood in front of Yua while spreading her arms.
