Chapter 224: Arc 4, Act II, - 69: Tussle in the Rainforest
"BLAST!" "FTWHING!" "FWISH!" Four of Arabella’s Royal Guard functioned as marksmen with their rifles, providing cover fire for the other guards charging in with far-reaching halberds.
The panicked rebels aimed back and forth, uncoordinated and reckless in their shots. Arabella swished the ash from her eye, across the barrel of the rifle, slicing the middle off.
Some got up and attempted to get their firearms ready, however the Royal Guard rushing in halted them first, using the blunt ends to bash the rebels’ sides and causing groans to spurt out.
One of the rogue Royal Guards aimed a rifle to the admiral but with a "BASH!" the blade made a chip against the gun and knocked it to the side.
The guard still grasping onto it faced to what had hit it, only to see a wide, deep purple blade "SMASH!" into the side of his head. The armour clanked to the ground with the guard.
Daiyu brought the blade back up with both hands, using the middle of her greatsword to bludgeon. She took a deep breath and grinned.
"It’s the princess!!!" one of the rogue guards exclaimed and aimed her rifle. "Shink! SCREEECH!" Fumeko carved into the guard’s armour and sliced across the back, "GAAH!!" causing her to blank out before Fumeko kicked the back of her knees to the ground.
Fumeko blinked back into the greens. About twenty or so rebels were immediately subdued by the Royal Guard. Ten or so clustered in a circle, keeping their muskets and rifles at the ready.
Within their circle appeared, paw by paw and with a low growl a panther "ROAR!!!"-ed. The group jumped and recoiled away, scattering like roaches.
"Panthers don’t roar Asobi!" Hotaru yelled from the shrubs.
"Got it!" an invisible voice replied. "MEOW!!!" The panther shifted tone.
"Who cares!?" the brunette’s voice travelled.
