Chương 279: Chapter 262. Waking Up And Talking To Your Wives Is A Top Priority

John Ericsson's Point Of View" Okay..."" Angela, I'll be back. I promise." She still wasn't completely okay with letting me go, but with Holy Flame Control in my arsenal now, she knows that my chance of winning is a lot bigger. Even though she was pouting, she eventually nodded her head since I promised to come back." You better keep your promise."" I will." With my final words said, Angela raised her hand to me, and I began to fall into the floor. I closed my eyes and then I wake up staring at the night sky."

Yes, like Sarah had said, we've tried what you're thinking, it didn't work. In fact, that's what led to him capturing Princess Alice and the Count Families' Daughters."" Why are you even trying to offer any words to me? You've lost already, your eyes tell me you have no idea how to even win. You've doubted everything Lady Kina has suggested. Why are you even trying to join the discussion when all you have to say is no!?" I heard Anna's voice and then a familiar voice, but I can't quite place it.

I raise my head to the familiar voice, what I saw is something irritating, Count Tye, after speaking, was attempting to place a hand on Anna... That's not going to happen... Ever. /WOOSH! / Without even thinking about it, I raised my hand with the idea to separate Count Tye from Anna. My feelings seemed to guide my mana as a burst of Holy Flame came out of my hand and formed something close to a spider's web. It seemed to just go to the first thing that could accomplish what I wanted, in this case, separating them.

I was surprised how easy it was for me to do it, until I thought about the feeling that Holy Flame Manipulation gave me... It's similar to how I manipulate Barriers. There must be something I'm missing though? I'm not sure why I feel like that? But now isn't the time to think about it. After all... I'm pretty pissed at this whole situation I just woke up to." Count Tye, I believe I've already explained to you how I feel about someone touching MY Wives." I said the first thing that came to my mind...

Minding the fact that I could also see a bunch of kids around us as well. Sarah and Anna smiled as they saw that I was awake." No... That's not what..."" Then what were you doing?" Count Tye tried to explain, but I really wasn't in the mood. My flames seem to feed off of how I feel, the web started to change shape, they morphed into a cage and began to close around Count Tye. A look of panic filled his face as the flames began to encircle him. My mood seems to impact the flames, I didn't give a command...

My Barriers didn't do that... Maybe with a higher Skill Level they'll behave regardless of how I feel? That'll need to be saved for another time. I need to find out where that God Of Blackwood is. The flames began to close around Count Tye until a voice called to me." Marquess Matthew, can you please forgive him for what he did? He's young, he's scared. Honestly, most of us are scared. I don't think punishing Count Tye is the best use of your energy right now." I looked at Count Sark for a moment.

Then I looked at the people around me, yes they were scared. Granted I wasn't truly angry, just irritated. I released the flames around Count Tye and began to speak." I agree with your reasoning, Count Stark. Now that he's out of my flames. I'll need to have a conversation with my Wives if you don't mind." Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings." Bu-"" Give them a minute." Count Sark wanted to say something, but Lady Kina stepped in and agreed with my request.

Count Sark wasn't happy about it, but he did as his wife and I asked. Sarah and Anna came over to me quite quickly. / Whomp! / Wrap! shake.... Tighten! And with even faster speed, I was hugged tightly. They were shaking slightly. I closed my eyes and took in their warmth for a moment." I'm sorry I worried you both this much. I was just thinking about protecting Anna from that guy."" Uhm."" Uhm." They both nodded their heads that were buried in my shoulders.

While I'd like to continue to hold them, I knew there was more pressing matters to attend to." He has Princess Alice, Lady Cindy, Gasha and Tana, doesn't he?" Another nod... I can feel him around, I look up into the sky and that's where I find him. Seems he sensed I was awake since we locked eyes with each other. It's a weird feeling looking at a guy who you're planning on killing in a few minutes. I look away from him and begin to speak to Sarah and Anna about what I've learned."

First and foremost, I have some information... Wait, I should tell everyone, shouldn't I? It's about our enemy, I have a name... And a way to defeat him."" Angela told you how to beat him?" Sarah's voice was full of surprise, almost like she couldn't believe what I said. I could understand why... I mean, all 3 of us were treated like children when we tried fighting him last time. This time though, I have an ace in the hole. Along with that, Anna is still here. She can still hurt him, if she can get a hit in...

Well, the same could also be said for me... Angela said that with this new Skill the chance of us winning increased by quite a big amount. I just need to figure out the best method to use it. I also need to test and confirm something... Even if he's now watching me. Returning to Sarah, I began to reassure her." Well, a sure-fire way to beat him? No. But, before Angela saw that I had this new Skill, she didn't want to let me come back. Now though, she sent me off with a lot less worry.

I think that's a big clue to the power of it. But more on that later, I need to explain what Angela told me to everyone... even Count Tye." It was up to the 3 of us if we wished to forgive him for what he was about to do. Judging by the looks of both of my Wives' faces, we were in agreement that we wouldn't be doing any forgiving anytime soon. This night has just been a power keg of bad experiences. Now then, I needed to get Sarah and Anna to let go of me. Not as easy as one might think at first." Sarah, Anna...

I need you both to let me go now. Squeeze. Squeeze. And the exact opposite action had happened. Sarah and Anna both squeezed and tightened their grips around me. While I personally enjoy when my Wives are acting this cute with me, a battlefield where we're fighting a God is hardly appropriate." Sarah, Anna.... Didn't he ask to be let go?" A voice shot through the Demon bear hugs that I was experiencing. I turned my head to find Ellie and Wendy looking at us with a scared expression on their faces.

It wasn't from talking to us mind you. It was from that bastard in the sky. They didn't seem to have much hope that this situation could turn around for us. I'll need to prove them wrong about it. Eventually, I was able to tap their shoulders and get them to look at Wendy and Ellie. Once they saw the expression on the girls' faces, they let go of me. I moved towards Wendy and Ellie after being released and bent down to talk to them." Hi, girls... I'm sorry that you're so scared about... Well, Everything.

But I want you to know that I'm going to beat that guy in the sky and save everyone. I promise."" Really?" Pet... Pet... Wendy asked me that. She found it hard to believe after my previous showing against him that I could win. It's an honest reaction. I rub Wendy's head as I answer her." Of course I will. I'm not going to lie. It'll be difficult, but we have something that we didn't have last time."" Ahem.... What?" Ellie faked a cough then bent her head down to Wendy's level for me to pet her head as well.

I couldn't help but smile as it signified to me that she was feeling a bit better about the situation to be acting like her usual self. Pet... Pet... I happily pet her head as well. I also answered her question as I did." The answer is them. We only had ourselves last time. This time we have all of these people to help. That guy might say something stupid like "it doesn't matter how many ants attack someone.

They all die the same", But you see, I know that there're ants that can bite and cause immense pain to their victims. I'm thinking we have a few of those kind of ants on our side now. Speaking of which." I raised myself up back to my feet, to the disappointment of Ellie and Wendy.... But weirdly to the joy of Sarah and Anna who had bent their own postures so I could pet their heads. I was puzzled by this for a second.... I mean here? In front of all these people?" Ahem!" Anna coughed. Which means I need to do this.

Because if she's being this blatant about this, that means Sarah is a few seconds away from jumping onto me. Well... They've been through a lot tonight so... I figured why not give them what they want? Pet... Pet... After a good amount of petting my Wives' heads. I went to the center of the Barrier and called for everyone's attention. I then began to explain what Angela told me.
