My Angel system

Chapter 128 I'm Not Stupid

Never in her life had Tauriel seen such a horrid look on her king's face, Jude thought there wasn't anything that could make the king afraid even a little but this strange-looking goblin had proved him wrong as he had immediately changed the mood of the king.

"All these years, you've been hiding in that hidden kingdom of yours like a coward," Saganus said as he walked closer to the Pegasus with his hands folded behind him.

Ashburn's soldiers were still keen on going after Jude and Tauriel and the goblin drawing close to their master but with a simple gesture, Ashburn had ordered them not to get any closer.

"That kingdom was meant for the safety of my people, I was not the one who set it up," Ashburn said, trying not to lose the confidence in his voice.

Saganus acted as if he didn't hear him as he placed his hands on the pegasus's neck.

"Oh, Teelah, how much I've missed you." He mumbled and then quickly turned his gaze back to Ashburn who was staring down at him.

"I trusted you Ashburn but you showed me that you are nothing but a traitor, you do not deserve to be trusted by anyone."

"No one can be fully trusted," Ashburn said.

"You don't deserve to be trusted at all and today you'll pay for everything!!"

"You're…."

Before Ashburn could complete what he wanted to say an invisible force knocked him off the Pegasus causing him to land on the hard floor with his back.

The soldiers wanted to charge in again after one of them threw a spear which Saganus easily avoided while standing in the same spot but Ashburn didn't want them to get involved just yet as he gestured to them to stay back.

"At least you have a little wisdom to know that I will end all their lives in a matter of seconds," Saganus said as he drew closer to the king who was back on his feet now.

"I have the staff of Vagus Saganus, you cannot win this fight," Ashburn said, raising his staff.

The only reaction from Saganus after Ashburn lifted the staff was a smirk.

"And you think I am afraid of my old toy?"

Ashburn was conflicted by the reaction from Saganus, he expected the staff to trigger some sort of fear in the goblin but it didn't look like it worked.

The staff of Vagus was the most powerful weapon a wizard could ever wield as it was known for it was known to do almost anything as long as the user connected well enough with it and the first wizard to use it after creating it had never lost a battle with it.

'Pretending not to be afraid won't save you from this.' Ashburn thought and then quickly stabbed the staff into the ground.

He was conflicted to see Saganus still standing there with his hands folded behind his back and just then Saganus entered a feat of laughter.

"You thought I would be so stupid to just challenge someone with the Staff of Vagus without these." Saganus pulled his hands in front to show the green necklaces on both of his wrists.

"Stones of Avalon." Ashburn gasped.

"I'm not stupid Ashburn."

Stretching his hand by his side a long red spear appeared on it and he immediately pointed it at Ashburn.

"We're going to do this the old-fashioned way."

"I don't think so," Ashburn replied.

Purple fire shot out from his staff heading for Saganus but with a skillful wave of his spear the fire disintegrated before it could get to him.

"I see how it's going to be then," Saganus said as he thrust his spear towards Ashburn from where he was standing, releasing a stream of red flames.

Ashburn used his staff to create an invisible shield to block that attack and he did succeed in blocking the attack but just after blocking it, another one came flying and took him by surprise.

The attack knocked him off his feet and sent him sliding back.

Seeing that the elf king was down, Jude knew this was their best time to escape, he quickly picked up Carl who had already passed out, and placed him on top of the horse.

"Get on, we need to get out of here while they are distracted," Jude said to Tauriel and made to climb the horse but things were going to go exactly as he wanted them to.

Ashburn pulled his face off the floor with a groan and that was when he spotted Jude about to climb on top of his horse.

"You fools! They are getting away, kill them if you have to!!"

A purple light shot out from his staff and knocked Jude off before he could get on the horse.

"No!!" Tauriel screamed as Jude fell.

The soldiers were charging in now and there were still about forty of them left after Tauriel had taken out some of them while they were running.

They were clearly outnumbered and Jude was struggling to get up from the floor.

Tauriel was all out of arrows which meant this was a fight where she was at a disadvantage, but she wasn't going to back down without a fight.

Before the soldiers could get close to them she jumped down from the horse landing beside a groaning Jude.

"Are you okay?" She asked before pulling out Jude's sword from its sheath.

"What are you going to do?" Jude groaned.

Tauriel didn't reply as she got up and turned to face the soldiers who had already covered the distance between them.

Three swordsmen were the ones in front and all came slashing down at her at the same time but with a wonderfully high jump, she was able to avoid the triple slash.

On landing she delivered a double kick two take out two of the swordsmen, the third swordsman tried to slash her while she was on the floor but with a spin, she kicked the sword out of his hand and still in the spin delivered another kick with her other leg.

Although taking out these three had somehow proven to be easy, Tauriel knew the same couldn't be said for the others who were all attacking her from every direction as she tried not to let any of them get past her over to Jude and the horse.

She was doing her best to avoid every critical blow with the sword but she was hardly getting any hits in.

She was beginning to get overwhelmed and with a swing from a spearman the sword was knocked off her hand, another spear followed to finish her off and there was nothing she could do about it.

"Tauriel no!" Jude groaned as he tried to get up and failed again.

However, before that spear could hit Tauriel an arrow from nowhere flew from nowhere and attached itself to the spear, the arrow was attached to the spear and that was what helped to pull the spear away.

The soldier had lost his spear but that wasn't the end of the story as multiple arrows which none of them could detect where it was actually coming from came flying from the sky and hitting all the soldiers surrounding Tauriel.

"Leave my sister alone!!" A voice was heard from the bushes as more arrows came flying in.

"Tuchel." Tauriel breathed a sigh of relief.
