Zjjan Master Chapter 55

JSA vs The Bandits

The night one day ago, before the morning that Jaino had awakened on Criselia's lap Flashback 02~

Somewhere in Deep Forest, in the long trees' branches, the leader of Jelfyr Shadow Army, Maritis— who has received the approval from Sai Mea and her queen —along by her three subordinates; a fat rockiest, a tin tall nerdy, and a bald muscular; each of them sneaks and hides in the shadow of a tree .

Below from the trees, they stare at the ground, the bandits joyously party; some people roasting the pigs, some cooking the grains, some waiting and chatting, some sharpening their own and the others' weapons, and some warding this gathering .

Near the entrance of the cave, the wooden cells— each containing women and children without clothes —are lining up .

Maritis speaks, "Let the prisoners escape and kill all the bandits . I have to settle things with their leader . "

One of her subordinates, a tin tall nerdy guy speaks, "But Mistress—, do you have the strength to defeat him? . . . His body guards are tough . . . We can defeat this bad guys below . . . but . . . He and his officials are different . "

"I can't even trust all of you to be alive with this; yet, we're working together . Let's finish this task with all of us alive . Let's go . "

Her companions nod . She along by her companions disappear .

Sharpening his weapon, the bandit notices his vision blurry and his world slowly turns black . His body falls to the ground and behind him, a tin tall nerdy black guy standing jumps, and his body revolves in the air, and he lands to another bandit .

Another bandit yells, "Intruders!"

The alerted crowd of bandits fight back despite the quickly increasing loss of their numbers . Some of the bandits blow the horns with sounds echoing through the forest .

Deep down inside the cave, sneaking in the shadow, Maritis notices an eyes-closed old man, sitting in the ground with each foot under his each opposite leg, and his each lower arm leaning perpendicular on each of his shin . Behind that old man, the two spear-wielding standing giants, wearing loincloths, they are Lusus(es) .

Lusus, they are huge and strong norims with extraordinary speed . Unlike Igysn, they have two eyes .

An old man voice echoes— "Alone . to face . me?" —from the only old man that Maritis sees .

Maritis walks as she exposes herself while keeping her distance away from her opponents . Sweats are bearing on her forehead . "I'm here to tell you . Your scheme will fail . And our prince shall live . "

"That . was . magnificent! I have never thought, someone can perceive my plan . But, little one, how many people can able to stop me?" His words gravitate Maritis' volition .

"I, myself, shall suffice . "

This old man grounds his hands, and he stands up . "You're amusing little one . " He hides his hands behind and one of his hand holds his other wrist . "I already live longer, and a mere norim accidentally challenges me . Try to know your opponents, little one .

"Let see how you will deal with my men . " With ready to swing spears and feet slidingly digging the ground, those two Lususes each arrives quickly nearby to each Maritis side .

Astounded, Maritis thinks, Already? She disappears and those Lususes stop the attack . This Maritis appears behind the old man . As the tip of one of her feet lands into the ground, she revolves counterclockwise while her knife she draws from its sheath behind her waist . But the booming above the ceiling gives her warning and her eyes quickly notice the disappearance of one of the Lususes . With one foot pushes herself backwards . In her front, a spear digs the ground and the wielder has landed .

This is quite difficult, Maritis has thought . My opponents are sharp .
