After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 539

Cassie took this time to sit up, taking out yet another weapon from her space, which in turn made the man’s eyes twitch. "Another one? Where do you get all these at your level?" he asked, eyes greedily looking at the weapon, though Cassie didn’t bother to answer him.

This was the third weapon she took out. Her grandmother used much of her savings from working under Lenny to give her an extra weapon, which indeed ended up becoming a saving grace.

She also used this time to drink a health potion and a mana cookie, which also made the man’s eye twitch.

Beside them, Jona took this time to take a breather. Jona rushed when she realized there were Alterans in there. She was in the area they burned down and was tasked to burn a few more to add a few more trouble (they had excess oil anyway) to distract the enemies for their teams.

She was the only one here though, as Drake and the others had spread out to assist. Most of them, in fact, found a way to get out to the Outer Crcle as well, using the distraction and openings of the battlement guards to do so.

Because they didn’t go through the array, their ’numbers’ weren’t counted. That was to say: it didn’t matter whether they were in the interior walls or not, so they’d be much more useful assisting the others to get inside.

In any case, this had nothing to do with the current enemy who was just giving the newcomer a one-over.

"Another woman?" The man commented, looking at their bodies—and equipment—with greed and distaste, thinking they didn’t deserve so many good things.

Then he noticed the little spark on Jona’s sword and, recalling the fire ball from before, knew that it came from her. "And an elementalist too!"

"I’m really curious about your territory. Hey, you two would really be worth a lot of gold."

The strongman stood before the two women, a smirk danced on his lips, his gaze oozing with arrogance and interest. It irked them very much.

"Underestimating us will lose you your little brother!" Jona yelled, referring to his crotch.

The man looked at her. "My little brother is already dead," he said, shrugging. His arrogant gaze was not mitigated.

The insult obviously went over the man’s head.

With a derisive snort, the man lunged forward, his sword swinging in a vicuous arc, very much intending to cause pain.

Anyway, he was also particularly annoyed today after seeing his own house burn! His woman disappeared, and he happened to be in need of new women to vent on!

Looking at the two women, he thought they arrived just in time! Maybe he’d even get to keep them both!

Cassie sidestepped to avoid his attack while Jona parried. The man jumped back to avoid the attack, swinging in Jona’s direction, all while sending Cassie a kick at the same time.

Cassie twisted flexibly to avoid the kick, immediately joining Jona, who had entered a sword fight with the man. The harsh sounds of clashing swords occupied the place for a while after that.

The women were all sweating from tiredness and they knew they had to end this soon if they wanted to help the territory more.

The two women’s eyes met and they made subtle nods. A second later Cassie jumped at the enemy, waving her sword, but this time there were swirling winds attacking him on command. This was swiftly followed by Jona’s flames, which were strengthened by the wind.

The man frowned, swinging his sword wildly to kill the fire, though he did burn a bit.

The man’s smirk disappeared at this point, looking at the two women with darker eyes. The two swordswomen stood side by side, and immediately lunged, refusing to let him get a breather.

The fire wielder danced around them, her movements fluid as she summoned more of her flames. She sent him relentless attacks, one after the other, with Cassie joining in.
