The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 353 - Onwards to Whitedon [ Part 2 ]

The mercenary opened his eyes and to his surprise, found the package, the woman his protecting, holding the arrow in her hands.

Margaret carefully looked at the wooden arrow with steel head and saw a green aura wave sticking to it.

The arrow suddenly flashed and started burning with blue flames covering it. The flames hit was immense and the mercenary who was beside the arrow already felt sweat dropping from his head.

"The arrows are poisonous, be careful not to let any stray get in and hit you." Margaret warned before backing away and standing beside me.

The mercenaries protecting us were a bit shocked at the reveal but did not dissuade her words. Instead they kept the caution to heart and tightly blocked off all spaces there previously wore.

I look at her right hand and ask, "You didn’t let any of it get you, right?"

Margaret shook her head, "I was careful not to touch the sharpen point, but still made sure to burn away anything there was."

"Yeah, you should always be careful with poison, that’s a slippery way to die."

Margaret smiled, "If I’m going to die one day, it definitely won’t be because a poisonous stray arrow hit me while I was incompetent."

Hearing her, the guy who she saved mentally cursed himself.

"Take care of the archers! They’ve got poisonous arrows!" One of the shield holders screamed.

The mercenaries held off against the volley of arrows until they saw it wasn’t coming anymore. One of them peeked outside and saw the group of archers fleeing because a mercenary group got to them.

"The shooters are gone; we can open up." He said as the mercenaries protecting us, took down their shields. But they weren’t able to catch a break.

As the ones protecting us called for help, one of the groups had to leave their formation to attack the arrow group, leaving behind one spot where a few bandits quickly made their way in.

"Shit! Behind us, there’s a few of them here!" One guy wearing a heavy helmet screamed as his almost mechanical tone warned everyone.

They quickly turned to see 10 of the bandits coming for them.

"Shit! We are outnumbered and if we don’t fight head on, we won’t be able to defeat them." One of the them said.

They could have gone to fight but didn’t because the prime goal of the mission is to protect us. Now they couldn’t just leave us defenselessly and let someone attack.

But to their joy, Margaret said, "You can go fight them freely."

"Really?" One asked. "But both of you will be vulnerable then."

"We will be fine, just make sure to not die so we don’t have to pay the extra cost." Margaret said before looking back at me with a dangerous smile, "I hope you don’t mind a bit company."

I shook my head while still sitting at the rock that I had been sitting, since the start.

"It’s okay, I was getting bored anyway." I say before telling her, "One of them is coming for you."

The mercenaries immediately looked to see a sleek guy, quickly maneuver around them and passed. He wasn’t stopping as his direction was straight at Margaret’s back.

"One of them went past us, get him!"

Margaret didn’t panic at that and turned around to see the guy only few seconds away from impact. She licked the corner of her lips and said, "You chose the wrong person to die from."

Her right hand went palm up as a blue flame ignited furiously.

The bandit seeing the flame immediately felt his hair tense up and tried to turn around.

"No, you don’t." Margaret said sweetly before throwing the flame at the bandit.

"Arghh!" The flame hit the guy and immediately spread through his whole body, making him seem both bright and terrifying. The guy screamed for a few seconds before his whole body quickly burned into a black char, destroying any recognition of him.

The mercenaries and the bandits coming for us, had paused when they saw one of them lit up in blue flames.

The bright blue flames immediately made them feel a searing heat just from standing, so they could only think how much the guy who got hit, felt.

"Whistle" I whistled gaining their attention, "Why are you all of you just standing, don’t you all have something to do?"

With that, both the mercenaries and the bandits turned to each other and moved. The bandits immediately attacked the mercenaries and their fight began. Yet three remained that could move to attack us but one of them got stuck as a mercenary offed one of the bandits and moved to him.

So the remaining two looked at us before remaining clear from Margaret’s path and coming for me.

I smile seeing the two standing before me, two small swords in hand, "You made the right choice, she would have given you much more pain. But I like to make it quick..." then a dark smile came on me, "Until I don’t."

"Do you need some assistance?" Margaret asked, lighting up her palms again.

"No" I finally get up from the rock, "These two aren’t worth it."

"And I want to keep one of them alive." frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Oh? Do you want to have some fun with him?" Margaret asked casually.

"No, for information." I say and turn to them, slightly disappointed, "You guys do know that I had given you a clear spot to attack and you just stood there watching."

A long water spear appeared on my hand as I aimed at them. The bandits became alert and were ready to jump away. I aimed and shot it towards one as they jumped but...

"Foosh!"

The speed of the spear was immense as it immediately impaled the guy I shot at and flew him away before he hit a tree far away, broke his spine and some other bones before hitting his head, killing him.

His remaining friend looked extremely shocked at that and started shaking.

"Hey" Then he heard my voice right behind him and knelt down in fear and begged.

"Please don’t kill me! I’m sorry, I was just following orders, don’t kill me!"

Margaret and I laughed at the guy’s terror and I ask, "How many of you are here?"

"There were 45 of us."

I check around the field and with my eyes, counted all of them, "There’s 25 of you fighting and 15 dead. Where’s the other five?"

The bandit pointed to a side of the forest with dense trees, "That’s where the leader and his closest assistance are hiding at, I swear it’s the truth!"

I didn’t even torture the guy and he’s already shaking.

"Alright, then I’ll take care of the-"

"It’s okay, let me do it." Margaret said stretching her fit body, making me almost ogle, "I haven’t exercised in two days."

"Please, go ahead." I bow and gesture her ahead.

"Oh, how gentlemanly of you." She smiled innocently and took a step ahead.

She spread both her palms and two large balls of blue flames ignited before she aimed them at that part of the forest and shot them.

The balls flew and hit their trajectory.

It was quiet for a moment... before that part of the forest started burning in bright blue flames and it quickly spread around.

All the mercenaries and bandits stopped their fight to look at the fantastic view of the forest burning down, along with the screams that came. It only took a few seconds for those screams to die down and another few before that place burned down.

Margaret looked at the remaining bandits, her hands still blazing blue, "That’s your leaders, I hope this stops you from this fruitless assault, otherwise..."

She didn’t need to say anymore as the bandits threw away their weapons and knelt down in surrender.

She gave an emotionless smile, "With that done, Onwards to Whitedon."
