Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 213 Sudden

"Hey Lisa, the three of us are going to New Grenton." Matias happily declared to Lisa who was in the middle of training the villagers.

"Is that so..."

"Don't look at me like that. If you want, you can come with us. I'm sure Ren, Val, and Lara would be happy to see you." Milly who was holding her son chimed in.

"No... I can't... Still, I hope you three have fun. Say hi to the others for me."

"Alright then, will be coming back after looking around New Grenton."

"Sure, just-" Lisa was about to say something when she suddenly pushed Matias and Milly aside. A bunch of throwing knives passed by them.

"Oh, you were able to dodge that, impressive." Lisa was hearing a voice and could feel an immense amount of bloodlust, but was unable to catch a glimpse of the attacker.

"Matias, Milly get out of here! Take the others and flee towards New Grenton!"

"Lisa?!" Milly didn't want to leave Lisa behind, but the moment she called Lisa's name another throwing knife came her way. Because she was holding her child she couldn't move properly and was unable to react on time. Lisa, on the other hand, had reacted fast enough to deflect the knife aimed at Milly.

"QUICKLY!" No longer hesitating Milly and the other villagers started running away.

"Oh, why are you making them run. They should enjoy the party as well." The voice that was drifting in the wind sounded enchanting but with a mocking tone.

"Who are you! Show yourself!" Lisa used the mana sense that Ren thought her but was still unable to pinpoint where the attacker was. As she was figuring out where the attacker was, Lisa heard someone screaming from behind her. The villagers and the adventurers that were trying to run away were being killed. Each throwing knife accurately aiming at their necks. Blood splattered all over the village grounds.

"NO!!!" Lisa screamed as she couldn't understand what was happening before her very eyes. The people she grew up with were dying right in front of her and she couldn't do a thing. Lisa desperately tried to block each and every throwing knife but no matter how hard she tried she just couldn't. The villagers who were also trained by Ren with the basics of his battle skills were unable to see the incoming knives. Some were lucky to be able to dodge, but this level of stealth and the speed of the throw was something they couldn't handle as more and more of them fell.

Lisa was horrified as she watched the people she cared for dying one after the other. The people that took care of her growing up. She was even more scared to think that her very own parents were among the piles of bodies. Though fear and sorrow were slowly creeping into her, Lisa gritted her teeth and then started to use spells which she kept on firing in random directions.

"Oh, lose your cool already? Don't worry once I'm done with killing everyone else I'll play with you."

"NO, YOU WON'T!" Lisa used every ounce of her mana and fired it at the general direction she believed the attacker was hiding at. It didn't matter if she didn't know the exact location, seeing how large the coverage of this attack Lisa was certain that she would've hit whoever it was attacking the village.

After unleashing her spell, the area in front of Lisa turned into a burning crater with no sign of life, or that's what supposed to have happened. Yet there in front of her was a woman dressed like a maid holding two machetes all walking out of the crater. Her clothes were had burned marks here and there, and she some bruises but overall she looked to be quite healthy for somebody who was hit by such a massive attack.

"That almost killed me!" The woman screamed at Lisa. She then slowly walked towards Lisa with a pouting face. Lisa was trying her hardest not to fall at this point, as not only did that last attack drain her mana but it also drained most of her stamina.

She couldn't even hold onto her swords properly as she was now using them as walking sticks. The woman wearing maid clothes then threw one of her machetes at Lisa. No longer able to move properly Lisa wanted to dodge but was only able to move slightly. The machete lodged into Lisa's left shoulder which started to spray blood. She wanted to scream in pain, but Lisa held it in as she didn't want to give her opponent the satisfaction.

"Wow, Amazing! I was trying to hit your head but even in your current state, you were still able to dodge." The woman holding a machete started clapping her hands. She wasn't mocking Lisa but was genuinely impressed, this only made Lisa even more vexed.

While her opponent was enjoying her struggle, Lisa was trying her best to figure out a way to either beat the woman in front of her or escape. In her current state fleeing didn't look like a possibility. Trying to kill the woman standing in front of her was hard but was actually the better option. When she thought of that Lisa couldn't help but smile weakly, seeing how hopeless her situation looked.

...

Matias and some of the villagers and adventurers were able to run quite far away from the village. Once he noticed that the lunatic that attacked the village was no longer following them Matias stopped running. Milly and some of the villagers stopped and looked at Matias a bit confused.

Seeing the expression on his face, Milly could already guess what Matias was thinking. She knew that her husband had thought of the most idiotic idea at this very moment.

"Don't do it. You saw how strong that lunatic was, if you go back you'll be nothing more than a burden."

"You don't know that... After all, in the village the strongest person after Lisa is me. You and I both know that Lisa wouldn't be able to hold on for long and if she falls now, that monster will come after us. On the other hand, if I join forces with Lisa we might be able to give you guys more time. Besides what kind of father would I be, if I escaped while letting the friend of my son die without doing anything... Milly take care of those two for me... Tell Ren I'm proud of him and tell Kurt I loved him and I'm sorry. Thanks, Milly, for everything... I love you." Matias smiled gently at his wife, who was now in tears. Milly then grabbed hold of Matias while their son Kurt was crying.

"No, I'm coming with-" Milly was unable to say the rest of what she wanted to say for Matias had struck her making her faint. Matias caught his wife and child and handed the two to the other villagers.

"Take care of them for me."

"Matias, are you sure of this?" The villager who was carrying Milly asked while looking at Matias's eyes. Matias simply smiled without replying as he started to run back to the village.
