Chapter 64 Unexpected Attack
"Avoid it!" Fenrir shouted.
Nathan and Fenrir leaped to the left while Anubis went in the opposite direction as Noelle swung her blade downward, releasing a sword strike that separated those three.
Since Anubis was alone, Noelle immediately charged toward him.
"Grrr!" Fenrir gnashed his teeth, ready to help Anubis. To his surprise, Nathan stopped him by saying, "Fenrir. I\'m sorry, but I have a ridiculous request."
Fenrir was slightly startled by the request, but he realized that was their only way to defeat Noelle in this state.
Noelle swung her blade at Anubis. The latter managed to block the direct attack with both paws, but the power still launched him away.
Noelle hurriedly chased after Anubis to deliver a killing blow as a bullet hit her armor from behind. Unfortunately, the armor was sturdy enough to block it, and with her being fully covered, Nathan\'s attack was not effective anymore.
Still, Fenrir caught up to her, forcing Noelle to turn around. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Noelle wanted to cut Fenrir down, but a pair of bandages suddenly wrapped around her blade, stopping it for a second.
Fenrir struck her chest with a torrential Ena on his paw.
The Ena burst, knocking Noelle to the ground. Still, it only left a scratch on the armor despite Fenrir using his full strength to break it.
When she fell down, Noelle kicked Fenrir from below, gaining some time to stand up. Yet the first thing she did was turn around and block Anubis\' paws with her blade.
While the armor increased her defense, it also restricted her movement a bit. Both beasts understood it and tried to pin her to the ground.
\'If you think it\'s that easy, then try it! Flamante Sword Style, Fire Star!\'
A fire burst on her sword, burning away the bandage. She then waved her sword five times in rapid succession as the burst flew in five directions like a star.
Anubis was forced back, his paws getting covered with a scorch mark. But Fenrir slapped this attack with his paw. It didn\'t matter if the flame burned his paw as long as he could use his paws to knock the blade down.
"!!!" Noelle was taken aback. She hurriedly turned around and swung her blade at Fenrir, but the latter had reached her first.
Even with his paw burning, Fenrir struck Noelle in the same spot.
\'It\'s useless. You won\'t be able to break through this armor,\' thought Noelle as she raised her blade.
Fenrir\'s eyes flashed, not planning to back down this time.
Noelle trembled for a split second as if she saw a monstrous wolf within Fenrir. The wolf that was known as the monstrous wolf of Asgard.
He gathered every bit of his strength into his other paw and struck her.
"Don\'t underestimate me, human! I am Fenrir!"
*Crack!*
"!!!" Noelle widened her eyes. While the living armor wasn\'t a high level familiar and she usually reinforced it with her own Ena, it was still sturdy enough to stop a minotaur\'s attack.
Yet Fenrir could break the armor in her chest area.
While Noelle was shocked by Fenrir\'s ability, she still clenched her sword tighter as she slashed downward, cutting Fenrir in two.
Nathan jumped forward. Now that her sword was down, this was the best chance to attack.
\'Why did he come?\' Noelle thought the best option to attack was shooting her in the chest, so she was planning to conjure a shield to block it.
But Nathan had thought two moves ahead and came in with the Deadly Claw.
With the amount of Ena she currently controlled, it was not enough to actually stop the Deadly Claw.
The shield manifested at the last second. Their collision ended up shattering each other.
However, Nathan was not out of trick. He had only used his left hand earlier, so he could still utilize the Deadly Claw with the other hand. This time, Noelle couldn\'t form another barrier.
\'Don\'t underestimate me, Junior!\' She was shouting inwardly as she overstrained her muscle to swing upward one more time. "Haaa!"
"!!!" Nathan widened his eyes in shock because Noelle actually managed to cut his right arm at the last second. The excruciating pain made him scream. "Aaggghhh!"
Little did she know, Nathan wanted her to focus on the fake attack coming from his right hand. Meanwhile, his left hand moved to his back, hiding the real attack.
\'I know you are strong and will surpass your limit. That\'s why…\' Nathan smiled inwardly as four bullets manifested on his left hand.
His bullets couldn\'t curve, so there was only one trajectory in his mind. Those bullets pierced through his body and hit Noelle\'s body, specifically the hole that Fenrir created earlier.
"!!!" Noelle widened her eyes in shock. Because she used her armor, she didn\'t put as much Ena to protect her body anymore, which meant that the exposed part was vulnerable. With a sharp angle of attack, the bullets went through Nathan\'s stomach and ultimately hit her heart.
Noelle spat a mouthful of blood, realizing Nathan\'s plan. He could recover from such a wound. While he might not be daring enough to do it in real life, he still wanted to test it in this trial since he wouldn\'t die if he messed up.
And the result was beyond his imagination.
Anubis hurriedly healed him as Nathan jumped backward. With enough time, Noelle would definitely die.
Unfortunately, he miscalculated one thing.
Noelle suddenly let go of her blade and grabbed Nathan\'s collar. She used the last bit of her strength to cause a burst of Ena that blew up his neck while saying, "An alien won\'t go down just like that. You have to make sure they die, Junior."
Nathan could only look at her with eyes wide open. Noelle might blame the alien, but it was definitely her tenacity as a knight that made her do it. And it cost him his victory.
