NTR: I became a noble?

Chapter 78 : Beaten and betrayed



"Hmm? A innovative but worthless effort." The man grumbled and took his hammer in his hands. The weapon was almost equal to his size reaching his shoulders.

"Shut up!" She slashed her sword thrice in an instant, her speed of attack had increased by more than two times.

\'Good speed \' The opponent dodged the attacks easily, he sidestepped as Erica attacked him and came out unscathed from her attack.

Instantly after the third attack, Erica followed up with a kick that finally landed on opponent.

Her teammates who were not directly involved in the battle helped her by distracting her opponent.

They were all level three warriors, there ki techniques were aimed at Erica\'s opponent intended to lethally damage the former noble which distracted him in the battle.

"Oh, it hurt" The man said, he was sent backwards from that one kick. The intensity of the attack had torn a hole in his robe which revealed his bare abdomen.

"It\'s just beginning to hurt." Erica confidently said, she began to dash towards the opponent. Her hands were tightly clasping her sword.

She made a big arc before ruthlessly slashing her sword at the opponent\'s neck.

"How could you..? Uggh" Erica asked in confusion and pain.

She had used her full strength to burst out with a ki attack on her opponent, she was really close to cutting the neck of that arrogant guy.

However, the following events did not go according to her plan, the noble took out his palm and stopped her attack without much trouble.

The caving ground beneath her opponent showed the immense strength behind her sword attack but the old man did not move an inch from his stance.

Erica herself had felt the recoil of her attack from being stopped, combined with the reckless method of body reinforcement, she had mouthful of blood coming out of her mouth.

"Attack!!!" One of members from her group shouted quickly.

The rest of the members in the group were waiting for his orders and began to bombard the old noble with various attacks of ki.

"Sigh, you people never understand, trying to kill me together with your own leader." The noble sighed in melancholy.

\'I will help you, poor girl.\' He thought before giving a light kick to the ground. A dome shaped blue energy surrounded him and Erica.

The bombardment of various attacks and weapons did not even put a dent in the barrier made from ki.

\'I thought I could fight it out and win against him but now none of them would survive.\' Erica was self blaming when she realised that she and all her teammates were going to die under the noble\'s attack.

Just when she had expected the opponent to deliver a killing blow to herself, there was a voice signalling her teammates to initiate another attack.

Erica had thought that perhaps she would die together with her opponent under those attacks but surprisingly, she was saved by him.

Her opponent had made a dome shaped barrier from his ki. A very durable barrier which blocked the combined attack of twenty veteran level three warriors.

\'This is impossible..!!\' Erica was in awe of the man\'s immense strength.

"Finally, you all seem to have calmed down." The former noble, Erica\'s opponent looked around. He glanced at everyone of them before continuing his sentence.

"I do not intend to fight you or the power above you. The accusations on me are false and had been carefully made up to frame me." He paused for a moment to see if they were listening to him.

"You can convey this message to your superiors. I am letting you guys live but I warn you that next time I would not be leaving a single one of you." He warned the warriors also known as devil hunters like he was scolding little kids.

"Stop tracking me, I won\'t be leaving you with a mere warning next time." The man warned Erica again, he had seen her lead a team against him twice. He could not leave without giving a personal heart to heart warning to Erica.

None of the warriors of the group made an objection to his warning. They listened to him quietly and attentively.

"Also, you are only alive because of your father, Green family\'s head." He said that to Erica, she was sure to die from the bombardment of attacks by her teammates.

The robed noble had saved Erica due to pity and the connection he had with her father, the patriarch of Green family.

Thud!!

The robed noble made a thud noise as he picked up his weapon, the war hammer and jumped out of the valley at once.

He left the valley full of defeated warriors and the slightly injured Erica after warning them.

\'I could have died today, I am still too weak.\' Erica was sitting on the ground, she had not moved an inch from her place even after Peerian, the former noble and the accused of many crimes had left.

\'Why did he not order everyone to disperse and escape? There was no reason to attack a level four warrior like Peerian.

It should be easily understandable to him that Peerian easily defeated me, without even using his artifact. There was no use of dying together with me.\'

She was happy to be left alive but she had no time to be grateful for it. She was contemplating where she had gone wrong.

Erica did not know when the command of her group had fallen in someone\'s else hands. More importantly, that individual ordered useless bombardment on Peerian.

\'Was it to kill me instead? To silence me and aggravate the relationship between Peerian and my father, the patriarch of Green family?\'

Erica had listened to Peerian, he had insisted that he was being framed for the crimes and he was innocent.

If someone was resourceful enough to frame a noble of Viscount level, then killing the daughter of one of the Dukes and blaming him for that crime was a possible scenario.

She looked around for her teammates, some of them were alert and guarding her while few others were discussing things.

\'Someone among them is a spy for that person in dark.\' Erica had some doubts in her heart.
