BXBX NOVEL Chapter 144: Assist
"At your service, my lady," Isamu said as Akio and Nessa exchanged glances then she smiled at him.
"If anything happens, can you help protect them?" He bowed his head when she asked.
"I will give it my best shot, lady Nessa," He responded, and she smiled before looking at the people who were gathered outside, and Aion and the others approached Nessa and bowed their heads.
"Don\'t worry, if anything happens we will do our best to protect our home, no matter what, we won\'t back off," Aion said and Nessa smirked and looked at Yanka who grinned.
"Well, I am glad you guys are willing to go so far, now, let\'s get going, Isamu," Nessa said as she transformed into her fox form and rushed off and Isamu followed her out of the town and the others looked at each other.
"Do you think she\'ll be okay?" Riley inquired, and Dalia chuckled.
"She\'ll be fine, don\'t underestimate her, I know she\'s capable of a lot," Dalia replied.
"True, she is capable of a lot, for now, let\'s keep an eye out, we have to protect this town if anything happens," Riki said and they agreed with him.
Everyone kept an eye out for any approaching dangers, while the wolves surrounded the town from every angle in case something went wrong.
Nessa sighed as she ran through the forest with Isamu, wondering what the Orcs were up to.
"Did you want to come?" She asked and he glanced at her.
"Of course I did, this situation is becoming more serious; do you believe our home will be safe, lady Nessa?" Isamu asked and Nessa nodded.
"Yes, it will be fine as well as the others, they are not weak," She responded and he exhaled deeply.
"I know they\'re not weak; thank you for trusting me and bringing me along, lady Nessa," He said and she smiled at him.
"You are welcome; no need to thank me, you are strong, Isamu," She replied.
"I am glad you think I am, I will try to be more useful to you, lady Nessa," He said.
"There is no need for that, Isamu; I know you are dependable, and if I am not around, I know you will do your best to protect that town and the people who live within it; you all want to protect that place, no one has to prove anything to me when I see it on your faces and in your eyes on a daily basis," She replied as he stared at her and smiled.
"Thank you once again, lady Nessa," He said and she chuckled.
"You are welcome, but there was no need to thank me; keep an eye out, and please be careful," She replied and he nodded.
"You need to be careful as well lady Nessa, do you think they will start their attack now or something like that?" Isamu asked and Nessa\'s eyes narrowed as she looked around but didn\'t sense anything nearby.
"Probably, they are smart, something is wrong around here, using the demon, a lot of people can give in, fear can help them get what they want, this is not good, if they manage to attack the dwarf kingdom, that will not end well," She responded and he sighed.
"What are you doing to do now, lady Nessa?" He asked.
"I will not reveal my true form; I will use this form to assist the kingdom if necessary; I can still use my abilities like this," She responded.
"I understand everything, including why you don\'t want them to see your true form; also, I don\'t detect any Orcs or the beast here; shall we keep on going?" He asked.
"Lady Nessa," Someone said, and when Nessa turned around, a green light flashed before their eyes, and she smiled as the Dryad, Fana, emerged from it.
"Fana," Nessa said and she smiled brightly.
"I came here to assist; my barrier is strong, but not that strong; I can use it to protect your town for the time being; it won\'t withstand high-level attacks, but it will be enough; do I have your permission to use it?" Nessa smiled when she asked.
"Of course, go right ahead, you don\'t need permission for that, I will be more than happy for the help, knowing that my people are in safe hands will keep me from worrying," She responded.
"Got it, you know you can always depend on us lady Nessa, please save our beloved forest, this is our home, if it\'s destroyed or taken over, I don\'t know what will happen to us, please lend us your powers, no matter what happens, I will keep my promise," Fana said as she bowed her head and Nessa smiled.
"Fana, there is no need to bow your head, raise up, please don\'t do that, it\'s not necessary, no matter what I will always defend this place, as long as I am here, you can depend on me for that, I assure you, I will not step back," She replied and Fana smiled brightly after hearing that, feeling reassured.
"Well, I am really happy to hear that coming from you lady Nessa, it\'s a relief that you chose this forest to be your home, it\'s beyond beautiful and will be the best home you have ever had, that I assure you of, I hope you don\'t ever regret coming here," Fana said and Nessa sighed before looking at Isamu who looked at Fana.
"Fana, no matter what happens, I am pretty sure that I for one will never regret coming here, I know how beautiful this place is, I am not going to let go, not now or ever, I am not letting anyone take this from me, I will never give up on this place, not after coming so far," She replied and Fana sighed as Nessa smiled.
