Chapitre 243: Scarlet the Indestructible?
"Are you sure it's okay to visit the Black Dragon Slayer at such an hour? It feels like I'm intruding." Themaer questioned a little nervous and unsure.
"Nothing to worry about! He's very chill." Daisy smiled knocking on his door and opening it.
"Hey!" We were all greeted by everyone with giant smiles.
"Oh, a new face." Paul smiled looking at Themaer curiously, his eyes instantly began to flash and crackle with pinkish-purple arcanum.
"Captain Themaer?" Helen questioned looking at him with a hint of recognition.
"Oh, Lady Ashera how nice it is we meet again." He smiled at Helen welcoming her.
"Your Highness sorry for the mess and formalities," Paul stood up straightening his clothes and walked up to him greeting him with a respectful bow. "I am Paul the Black Dragon Slayer, pleased to meet you, acquaintance." Paul respectfully addressed him.
"Please please, I'm not a highness no more, I'm just a fellow man like you and me." He said picking Paul up.
"I'm Scarlet please to meet you." Scarlet greeted following closely behind Paul with an outreached hand.
"Ashley Head Senior Engineer of Atlantis." Ashley bowed to him.
"Anna Redrose." Anna introduced herself as well.
"Umm.... I'm Jay Carvell," Jay introduced himself awkwardly unsure what to do.
"Morganna Lefey." Morgan introduced herself with a smile and wave looking just as awkward as Jay.
"Greetings everyone I am Captain Themaer of Enmnora guard, please no need for titles, I'm just a humble adventurer like all of you." He answered.
"Please take a seat," Paul said courteously clearly acting very differently than normal leading him to the sofas.
"So have you eaten? A drink maybe?" Paul questioned.
"I could do with a drink." Themaer smiled.
"Sure Elven wine I presume?" He questioned.
"Anything will do." He smiled back at Paul.
"One moment," Paul asked standing up and making his way to the kitchen very quickly.
"Ohh Paul I think we missed dinner!" I inform him before he disappeared behind the door.
"Okay!" He shouted back through the door.
"Very nice place, everything looks so interesting....." Themaer smiled looking around, as we all took seats on the sofa area.
"Uncle Themaer, what brings you here?" Helen smiled.
"To see the both of you in your debut duel." He smiled back.
"Oh, you heard?" She gasped a little surprised.
"Yeah, Grace messages me every couple of days." He smiled at both of them, "I also want to thank you Scarlet for taking care of you two." He thanks Scarlet making her jump a little in shock.
"It's nothing, they were well trained before arriving in Atlantis." Scarlet smiled.
"Would it be possible to attend one of your training sessions? I would love to see the famed Scarlet in action." He smiled.
"Of course, we start early in the morning around sunrise, but you might not see me in action if that's what you intended to witness." Scarlet smiled.
"Ahh that's a shame, I would love to witness your legendary swordsmanship." He replied.
"It's nothing as glamorous as the stories tell." Scarlet chuckled.
"So I was told you all helped in defending a city invaded by Dark Elves." He asked curiously.
"We were, everyone here helped except Ashley, sadly it's part of Atlantis policy to have most engineers remain on Atlantis." She smiled.
"Uncle apparently she single-handedly defended the city from ten juggernauts," Grace explained to her in great excitement.
"Woah." He looked at her in absolute amazement like she was a hero of legend or something.
"It was nothing really." Scarlet tried to pass it off like it wasn't anything special.
"Nothing? A juggernaut alone is durable and strong enough to take on several experienced parties and that's even if they knew how to deal with one of those mechanical monstrosities." He looked in absolute shock, "Their plates are forged mainly of mithril one of the strongest metals known to exist, two huge crushing hands with enough strength to swat and crush a mortal with ease like an insect. One hand equipped with a device that can shoot jets of molten hot magma and the other a device that rapidly fire musket balls at unbelievable speeds." He described the formidable constructs making Scarlets look even more unbelievable.
"She also somehow came out utterly unscathed, not a dent or scratch on her body or armour," I added to the story.
"Wow, so your famed invulnerability is real." He looked at her in astonishment causing Scarlet to shrug.
"So how did you defeat the juggernauts?" He questioned thoroughly interested.
"It was easier than expected, the magma they shot was surprisingly effective against each other. So I was able to cause a lot of damage just using their own weapons against themselves. They are also mechanical so their intelligence was rather basic, and well my sword can pretty much cut through anything even mithril." Scarlet explained.
"Ahhh your famed sword, would you divulge me in what makes it so special?" He asked curiously.
"Only if you keep it a secret." Scarlet winked with a huge grin.
"My lady as a King's Guard I swear on my Oath I will never tell another soul." He immediately swore to her with no hesitation.
"Okay, well it's an ancient weapon, forged from the metal harvested from a meteorite and Dragon Scales in Dragon fire and blessed with ancient enchantment magic," Scarlet explained.
"My Lady, would you do me the pleasure of letting me inspect such a sword?" He asked looking very eager to examine Scarlet's sword closely.
"Sure." Scarlet agreed, picking up her giant sword off the ground and placed it gently on the ground for him to inspect.
"May I hold it?" He requested permission from her.
"It is very heavy and very sharp you have to be careful." She warned him holding out the sword to him with one hand on the handle and her other hand on the other end.
"Magnificent!" He smiled in glee looking at it closely like it was some sort of antique.
With both of his hands, he gently tried lifting the sword but couldn't even manage to shift it at all, "Wow, is this weight magical? can only the wielder and owner of this sword hold it?" He questioned in pure fascination.
"I dunno," Scarlet shrugged, "It's a bit like my armour they are so heavy I've yet to see anyone use it." She answered.
Still mesmerised by her sword, he ever so slightly dragged his leather bracers across the sharp edge of the blade, cutting it effortlessly despite the minimal force and pressure applied, "This edge, it's unlike anything I've ever seen or read..... I heard through song this fabled blade can cut through anything." He uttered in complete awe.
"Yes, I have not come across anything that can withstand a cut from this sword, I can even cut magic and spell." She smiled.
"Wow....." He uttered completely mesmerised by the sword.
"And you? are you as indestructible as the songs praise?" He questioned curiously.
"Well conventionally yes, this sword is the only weapon I've come across that can hurt me." She answered.
"May I?" He questioned in shock.
"Sure." She answered placing her sword down carefully. "Okay have you got something?" She requested from him.
"Please if you don't mind." He said pulling out two hidden beautifully designed daggers that looked similar with a subtle difference. "My sword was taken away for security reasons but I managed to smuggle past my trust elven daggers, masterly crafted with mithril and enchanted so the sharpness never dulls." She offered them to her with much respect.
With a nod, Scarlet respectfully took one and like a magic show, she dragged the dagger along her other palm, making us all look in wonder and amazement as it didn't even leave a scratch. Just to show how invulnerable she was she even took the pointed end and jabbed herself in the parm, the dagger stopping instantly the moment it hit her skin. "Wow..." He uttered in pure amazement.
"No matter how many times you see that, it's truly amazing to witness," Jay uttered in shock.
"I obviously didn't want to shatter or damage your beautiful weapon so I didn't put too much force into it." She explained to him handing the weapons back to him.
"So did the hot magma hurt you?" I questioned curiously.
"Not really, it just felt a little warm but it just slid off my armour and skin." She shrugged like it was normal,
"What the hell...." I uttered as my jaw hung agape in disbelief as apparently even molten hot lava cant hurt her.
"What about magic?" He questioned thoroughly absorbed in learning about Scarlet's abilities.
"Well most people think I'm immune to magic, which is the case in most circumstances, but very powerful casters with very powerful magic and spells can inflict damage on me." Scarlet nodded.
"And apparently somehow Paul the Black Dragon Slayer beat her once," Grace added boosting Paul's status even higher than it was before.
"Sorry it took so long, so I have food wine and all sorts of drinks!" Paul burst out with a giant smile holding a tray of food with several jugs of liquids floating behind him and many many cups.
We all looked at Paul in shock as he appeared, hearing that only very powerful casters are able to hurt Scarlet. "Did I do something bad?" He questioned a little shocked at why almost everyone was staring at him.
