Rosie's Games

Chapter 240: A Demonic King!

A deafening howl made the scene in front of Rosalind even more frightening. When she first heard that there would be a demonic beast, she expected one of them, not three, and definitely not five. Fighting against one was already a struggle for someone from the south.

How could they fight five of them at the same time?

She shivered at the sight of the silhouette of an even larger beast. It looked like a bear as it was walking on its two feet, but its face was that of a lion. There was a long spiky tail behind it.

"That—" Rosalind murmured. "How are you able to defeat that kind of monster?" She was still standing next to the calm Magda. When she did not hear anything from Magda, she turned and look at the woman. Magda was frowning as if she too was in deep thought. She did not look scared or nervous.

Unlike Rosalind's already pale face, Magda still looked normal.

"What is it?" Rosalind said. Right now, she was confident that only Magda could hear her as the others were busy running around, bringing back the wounded soldiers and going to the beasts to fight. This was the first time that she had seen a variety of people fighting together. There were tall, lanky, short, fat, and even some women in a knight's uniform.

Despite their already bloodied clothing, not one of them showed fear in their eyes.

"Something is wrong," Magda said. "Those monsters do not carelessly approach the walls because of the stones. Right now, they are acting very strange."

"How strange?"

"They are lethargic… some of these beasts should be smart enough to know that the black stones could weaken them. Yet, they are charging as if… as if they wanted to destroy it."

Rosalind frowned. Indeed, the beasts looked like they were more interested in charging towards the wall instead of fighting with the soldiers. She looked at where Huig was fighting. The man was using his sword, he was cutting beasts down as if they were vegetables. However, the number of beasts kept on increasing.

While these people are capable, they are severely outnumbered.

"I do not see anyone with a Blessing," Rosalind asked.

"Are you serious?" Magda's face turned sour.

"What?" Did she say something wrong?

"It has been years since those people sent a decent one here. Right now, they know that we could fight against the beasts and they chose to focus on politics instead. Bunch of greedy morons."

Rosalind lifted an eyebrow. She wondered what would happen if she revealed her light Blessing now. Surely, that would cause chaos, not just with the soldiers but inside Wugari itself.

She could not put the Duke in that much trouble.

"These people … are they not tired?" Rosalind asked.

"It's either fight or they die." Magda shrugged. "This usually does not happen. I know this is traumatizing, but you should get used to it."

Rosalind nodded. She then watched as Huig attacked the largest beast that just arrived. Just as she expected, he was not able to cut through its thick skin. Rosalind could only sigh. The fight was happening about two hundred meters away from where they were standing while the lights coming from the walls were not exactly enough to illuminate that part, Rosalind could still see it as she was using her own light Blessing to enhance her own sight.

Because of this, she could see some details that other people or even Marga couldn't. Just like the fact that Huig seemed to have some sort of black dust coming off his body.

"He needs help," Magda said. josei

"I can see that," Rosalind said. Earlier, Magda already told her that some soldiers were guarding the other gates and some of them were also still fighting in Cirid. Meaning, they lack the manpower to fight at this gate.

"Stay here," Magda said. Without saying another word, she jumped from the walls and ran towards Huig. Almost immediately the fighting started. At first, it looked like Huig and Magda were winning but after a few seconds, another howl echoed, and a putrid smell filled the air.

"A demonic King!" someone shouted.

Rosalind's face became even darker. Those beasts were getting larger and larger and now, a Demonic King appeared? A demonic King was akin to a Demonic Wolf King, they were the leaders of their pack. They were bigger, taller, and stronger and some of them even had special abilities, like fire or poisonous gas.

Once again, the bell started tolling.

Rosalind clenched her fist as she looked at Huig and Magda. Could they really fight against two twenty feet tall monsters? Just as she was occupied with her thoughts, Magda appeared next to her. "You have to leave. It's getting more and more dangerous."

"Why are you—" Rosalind looked in Huig's direction. Just as expected, he was alone! "Why are you here!?"

"Leave now!" Magda said. By now, their interaction was already attracting the attention of everyone. This left Rosalind with no choice but to show herself. However, this only made Magda angry.

"We already talked about this!" Magda hissed. "You—"

"I can help you," Rosalind said nothing. She wrapped the dark mist in her hand before she touched Magda's chest. The dark mist covered the light that came out of her hand.

"Sorcerer!" someone shouted from behind.

"What are you doing!?" Magda said.

"You should already know by now," Rosalind answered. "Call Huig. I will give him something too."

"This is—"

"Go!" Rosalind said. It would be better if people thought she was a sorcerer than someone who received a Blessing. Although she had not heard of any sorcerer that could do what she just did, not many people actually knew that. Sorcerers were mysterious individuals who are very good at keeping their own secrets!

Magda clenched her teeth. However, she had no other choice as Huig really needed her help. She huffed and jumped towards Huig. To everyone's surprise, however, it only took Magda two large jumps to reach Huig's side.

Almost immediately Rosalind could feel everyone's eyes on her.

Luckily, she was wearing a robe that covered her face.
