Chapter 28: Battle Against Baron Dunde Men's

C28: Battle against Baron Dunde Men's.

Five minutes later, Baron Dunde and twenty-five of his men arrived in front of Esmeralda's house. Then Baron Dunde ordered one of his men to greet the owner of the house. Then his men knocked on the door of the house.

While inside the house, Esmeralda and the others were getting ready to start breakfast together in the dining room. Then they heard a sound knocking on the front door of their house continuously.

"Who is coming to visit so early in the morning? And it is very rude to knock on someone's door loudly like that." Esmeralda said.

"Big Sis, let me open the door, to see who is visiting," Anna said.

"Okay, Anna. Look who is visiting our house." Esmeralda said.

Then Anna went to the door of the house to greet the guest who came. Shortly she arrived and opened the door to see who the guest was.

*Creak*

The door opened, and Anna saw the man, the Baron's man.

"Hello, good morning Miss." Ordinary man said.

"Yes... good morning. Who are you, sir? And what do you want to come to this house?" Anna asked.

"Ah... sorry for late introducing myself. I am from Baron Dunde's men, and my master Baron Dunde wants to see the owner of this house. Look over there miss, that is my master, Baron Dunde." The man said while pointing at Baron Dunde.

"A Baron?... Please wait a moment, I will inform the owner of the house." Anna said.

Then Anna went back inside to tell Esmeralda that Baron Dunde and his men were looking for her. When she arrived in the dining room, she told Esmeralda who the guests were and who had come to her house.

"B-Big Sis Esmeralda. A man named Baron Dunde and twenty-five of his men have come to look for you." Anna said.

"Huh... Baron Dunde? Why is that pig looking for me?" Esmeralda asked.

"I don't know. But his man only said he wanted to see you." Anna answered.

"Big Sis, I don't think that Baron Pig is looking for you to just have a chat. We have to be careful, especially since he brought a lot of his men." Lilith said.

"En. You are right, Lilith. He must have hidden intentions when he came here. Okay, let's see that Baron Pig and his men."

Then the five of them went out, to see Baron Dunde and his men.

When Esmeralda and the girls came out of their house, Baron Dunde's men were excited to see their beauty. However, Baron Dunde raised his eyebrows and felt that he recognized two of the five girls.

"Good morning, What is the need for the Baron to come to my humble house this morning?" Esmeralda said.

"En. Good morning. You look familiar to me. Ah, aren't you the owner of the Rose flower shop in Plaza Town? At that time you were very rude to chase me out of your shop!!" Baron Dunde said.

"Oh... I feel flattered if the baron remembers me. Then what is the need for the baron to come to my humble self." Esmeralda said.

"Don't act like you don't know. I come here to look for the murderer of my son. After my man investigated the culprit, it was a boy with black hair and black eyes who killed my son, Jay. So hand over the boy or I will arrest the five of you!!!" Baron Dunde said.

Hearing what the Baron had said, made the five girls shocked and silent for a moment. But soon Esmeralda shouted.

"There must be something wrong, my son never kill your son. How can he do that? Besides, my son can't even use magic and he has no mana in his body. So you must just change the fact that you can't find out who the real perpetrator is, and blame my son. Because your son always bullies my son." Esmeralda said.

"Enough of that. My Mens, catch the five of them and bring them to my Mansion." Baron Dunde shouted.

"Roger that, Master." all of the baron's men answered.

Then the twenty-five men of Baron Dunde rushed to catch the five beautiful women with enthusiasm. While Esmeralda and the others after hearing the shouted from Baron Dunde immediately stood ready to face his men.

"Get ready, you three try to defend yourself. And Lilith, you can help them if they are in danger." Esmeralda said.

"Understood Big Sis," Lilith, Anna, Reina, and Delia said together.

Then the five of them prepared to face Baron Dunde's men. When two of Baron Dunde's men approached Esmeralda, She cast a magic spell and attacked Baron Dunde's two men.

"Wood Magic: the whip of wood."

After casting the magic, suddenly tree roots came out from underground and attacked Baron Dunde's two men. So that they were both thrown 20 meters to the ground.

While Lilith, she attacked the baron's two men by moving using her teleportation magic. She moved and appeared behind the two men and paralyzed them both to the ground. While Delia used her water magic and attacked Baron Dunde's two men too.

"Water magic: Water Arrow"

Then arrows made of water appeared and the two of them.

"Arrgghh.." they shouted in pain.

While Anna and Reina, both worked together to defeat the other two Baron Dunde men.

"Dark Magic: Shadow Bind."

Then the two men of Baron Dunde were unable to move because their feet were tied by something black that appeared from their shadows.

"Ugh. I can't move, what is this?" they both said when they felt something tying their feet. Then seeing that they couldn't move, Anna cast her magic.

"Earth magic: Earth spike"

Then thorns appeared from the ground and attacked them both.

"Argh." they both screamed in pain.

Seeing that, Baron Dunde shouted to his men.

"Go... Go capture them, use some magic too."

Then some of Baron Dunde's men cast a magic to attack the five of them. As well as Baron Dunde, he used some magic too.

Meanwhile, the residents around Esmeralda's house who witnessed the incident did not dare to interfere and could only watch and murmur. They were afraid that if they interfered, they would also be captured by the baron. Back to the battle, Baron Dunde and his men cast magic and attacked the five of them.

"Fire Magic: Flame Spear." Baron Dunde said.

"Water magic: water ball," his men's no. 1 said.

"Fire magic: Fireball," his men's no. 2 said.

"Earth Magic: Earth spike" his men's no. 3 said.

"Wind Magic: wind blaze," his men's no. 4 said.

Then a fairly large fire spear appeared followed by fireballs, water balls, earth thorns that emerged from the ground, and wind attacks that were like a collection of whirlwinds coming towards Esmeralda and the others. Seeing Baron Dunde and his men attacking them using magic. Esmeralda and the others tried to defend themselves by using the defensive magic they had.

"Wood Magic: Wood Wall," Esmeralda said.

"Water Magic: Water Wall," Delia said.

"Earth Magic: Earth wall," Anna said.

While Lilith and Reina moved behind the three of them. Then a root appeared from the ground and formed a 3-meter-high wall in front of them along with a wall made of water and earth.

*Boom*Boom*Boom*

Soon, the sound of clashing magic was heard. And caused thick dust to appear, the sound was quite loud and made the people around it scared. Then after the dust cleared, the battle continued until it drained their mana energy.

1 hour later, When Esmeralda, Lilith, Reina, and Delia were busy facing Baron Dunde's men who kept appearing towards them. They heard Anna's voice screaming and looked towards Anna.

"Kyaa... Ugh... Let it go of me." Anna said.

"hehe... little girl we finally catch you." the two men said while holding both of Anna's hands behind her body and dropping her on the ground.

"Anna..." they shouted together.

Seeing Anna who was dropped on the ground and both of her hands were gripped tightly so that she couldn't move, made them want to move towards Anna to save her. But not long after, Baron Dunde shouted.

"Don't move. If the four of you move an inch, I will kill this girl."

Hearing that, Esmeralda and the three stopped while staring at Baron Dunde and his men with hatred.

"Haha... Good, now surrender yourselves. And follow us obediently."

But Esmeralda, Reina, Lilith, and Delia just stood there but wanted to do something.

'Damn it, if I have a little mana to use my teleport. I can save her.' Lilith said in her thought.

"No... Don't surrender yourselves, Big Sis. It was my fault for being a bit careless that I got caught. You guys get out of here, save yourselves."

"Tsk. Men's... Shut her mouth."

Then one of Baron Dunde's men slapped Anna's face hard.

*Slap*

"Arrgghh" Anna made a sound of pain.

That action made Esmeralda and the others angry.

"How dare you..." Esmeralda said in anger. But Baron Dunde shouted. "Shut up. Just surrender yourselves to us now.!! Or I will kill this girl."

Esmeralda and the three girls still didn't want to give up. But suddenly a woman's voice came.

"Stop. All of you stop." a woman said.

Then Baron Dunde's group and Esmeralda's group turned towards the source of the voice and saw who the woman was. Then unexpectedly what appeared before them was Maya and Mrs. Erry.

"Hn. Why did the owner of Eryale Tavern and a Receptionist from Adventure Guild come? Do you two want to interfere in my business?" Baron Dunde shouted.

"Please stop this chaos Baron Dunde. There must be a misunderstanding between you." Maya said.

"Misunderstanding? Misunderstanding what you mean, the five of them have hidden the murderer who killed my son, Jay. So as his father, I have the right to arrest them." Baron Dunde said.

Hearing Baron Dunde's words, Maya and Mrs. Erry were shocked.

"Please. There must be a mistake, there's no way Mrs. Esmeralda would do that. I know them well, you must have done it on purpose, right Baron Dunde" Erry said.

"Shut up, you bitch. My men are already investigating and the result is because of that damned boy who doesn't have mana. Who caused my son and his man killed." Baron Dunde said.

"Just because of that, you try to ignore the facts and try to blame it on others. You are indeed the worst person, Baron of Radagast Town." Maya said.

"Shut your mouth Bitch. If you say any word, I will arrest you too." Baron Dunde shouted.

Then Baron Dunde looked towards Esmeralda's group. "As for the four of you. Surrender to me, if you don't Surrender. I will kill this girl in five seconds when I count. Men's, get ready to kill that girl.

Then his two men dragged Anna into the middle between Esmeralda's group and Baron Dunde's group.

"5... Dunde shouted.

4...

3...

'Damn it.' Esmeralda thought.

2...

1...

But Suddenly the sound of a sword slash was heard.

*Slash*

And followed by the sound of something falling to the ground.

*Thud*—*Thud*

Then when they heard the sound, Baron Dunde Group, Esmeralda, Reina, Delia, Maya, and Mrs. Ery looked towards the source of the sound. And it turned out that Baron Dunde's two men who were supposed to hold Anna to be killed, were now lying on the ground lifeless without any heads on their bodies. Their blood was pouring out on the ground, while not far from the bodies lying there. A black-haired young man with black eyes was seen hugging Anna in his left hand, while his right hand was holding a sword covered in blood.
