Chapter 10: Helper

Anastasia waited, leaning against the car for her sister to finish. She felt a darkness suddenly appear behind her. She turned around to see a large green armored Servant with a sword ready to swing at her. She narrowly dodged the attack. She looked and saw three total Servant Scouts, each one wearing heavy plated armor.

"Where did they come from?" Anastasia thought "Please hurry Illya."

Anastasia prepared mana spells in her hand. There were civilians all around. Many ran away and screamed.

Illya, was still in Joan's realm when suddenly the Goddess held her head in pain.

"Auntie? What is wrong?" asked Illya.

"You need to return to your realm. Now!"

Illya nodded and closed her eyes.

The three Servant Scouts moved closer to Anastasia when suddenly, one was kicked hard in the face, slamming into the other, sending them both flying. The third Scout looked. Anastasia gasped. There stood the black armored knight, his plume swaying in the wind.

"Damn, another one of you!" said the third Scout.

The other Scouts stood back up and swiftly flew towards the knight, their swords ready to stab. He leapt into the air, dodging the attacks. He kicked and punched the Servants hard, fighting them off. Anastasia prepared a fireball and cast it, hitting the Servant, and melting part of his armor. The Servant turned to Anastasia and moved in to attack her. She continually dodged the attacks and leapt back. She then touched her arms and a blue aura outlined her body. The Servant pressed his attacks. She continued to dodge them. The sword hit Anastasia once, however, there was no wound. She then unleashed a fire attack by placing bot hands together, covering the Servant in flames, melting his armor, and igniting his wings. Soon, Illya had returned to the mortal world. She turned her head to see a battle taking place. She then raised the kanabo, holding it with two hands. The Servant Anastasia was fighting then escaped the flames and spotted Illya.

"The Demigod!" he then flew fast towards her, ignoring the burns on his body.

Illya swung the kanabo. The Servant dodged the attack. Illya then drew her sword and held it in one hand and the kanabo in the other. The two of them clashed blades. Anastasia watched her sister fight but then turned to the knight, seeing he was still outnumbered.

"Help him!" called Illya "I will take on this one!"

Anastasia then nodded and rushed in, attacking one of the Servants with a mana spell. Illya collided blades with the Servant again she pushed away and swung with the kanabo. The Servant blocked it with his sword. Despite the block, the sword cracked. Illya noticed the crack. She then sheathed her katana and held the kanabo with both hands. She rushed in towards the Servant Scout. She swung the club numerous times only to be met with a block and with each impact, the sword cracked further. The Servant raised his sword only for the club to shatter the blade. The Servant was shocked. Illya then raised the kanabo again and hit the Servant directly in the chest, denting his armor. She continually hit him with the weapon until eventually, she hit it with mana behind it and the armor flew off. She then swung the kanabo again, decapitating the Servant.

Anastasia cast another fireball spell at the Servant Scout, melting more armor. He swung his sword at her. She continually dodged and ducked under attacks. She was then hit in the stomach, sending her flying back. She rolled but then quickly stood up. Her mana shield had a crack on her stomach but still holding up. Before she could cast another spell, the Servant was already closing in on her. Anastasia was shocked. The knight took a quick glance over and quickly touched the ground. Just as the Servant struck down, a wall of dirt and rock blocked the attack. Anastasia quickly charged a fire spell in her hand. She grabbed the top of the wall, climbed over it, and unleashed a massive wave of fire from her hand, incinerating the Servant's head.

The knight blocked sword attacks from the Servant Scout with his gauntlets and formed rock shields to block attacks aiming for weak points in the armor. The Scout thrust his sword at the knight. He simply sidestepped and placed his foot down upon the sword hard, shattering it. The knight then clenched his fist and a rock then formed around his hand. He punched the Servant Scout hard in the chest, shattering it and knocking him down. The knight then stood over the Servant and crushed his head with the rocky hand. Illya and Anastasia then stood next to each other, looking at the knight. Illya then stepped forward.

"Who are you?"

The knight turned to face them.

"My name is James. I'm a Demigod," he said.

"Who sent you?" asked Anastasia.

"Jahlan of course. He sent me to find the both of you. "They could use a shield" he said," replied James.

"That sounds like grandpa," said Illya.

"We heard about the massacre at Iceni. He sent me here to Orleans to make sure something like that didn't occur here. Since you have the artifact we need to move quickly if we want to prevent another massacre. The Gods are always watching."

"Wait where is the next shrine?" asked Illya.

"Further west. It is the shrine of Fu Hao in Shang. Now let us go. You can leave your car behind. There is another vehicle ready us. I'm sure Jahlan will send someone to pick up your car."

James then led them to a large sleek vehicle. It was silver with the front windshield being sharp and blacked out. It stood two stories high. Inside was a spacious room with a holographic world map with red dots with a green dot right on one of the red lights. Illya went over to it and looked at it.

"Each red dot is a different shrine. The green dot is us," said James.

The vehicle had a bathroom in the back as well as a bedroom and a stairway. The common area with a small wooden coffee table, a leather couch, and a TV. Connecting to it was a kitchen. Upfront was the driver seat.

"Your rooms are upstairs. There are three in total. Feel free to pick whichever one. Welcome to your new home."
