I was a Nerfed Hero in Another World

Chapter 133: Ambush

Merleen, Lilith and Fenrir danced in front of me while slowly losing their clothes. The three of them shook their booties and charmed me with their looks, A pole of some sort stood between the pair as they tried pleasuring me with their choreography.

"Arthur, wake up!"

The slow music finally kicked in, which amplified the atmosphere around me. Merleen was the first one who became stark naked while near the pole. Fenrir followed her dance and went in front of me. She bounced her hips between my thighs and motioned her fingers to kiss me. Lilith held something that looked like a private organ of a male. She inserted that thing inside somewhere inside her body and made weird noises.

But I couldn't as I continued watching the boiling scene at my fore.

"Arthur, it's your turn! Come on, man! WAKE THE MAGIC UP!"

(Author's note: it's "wake the hell up!".)

Those girls and the setting disappeared within seconds, with the music dying out. Upon opening my eyes, Meliodas' face greeted me while waving the rope in front of my face. That picturesque scene of the three women dancing was all just a dream. And thanks to this madman, I woke up and lived my life once again in reality.

Meliodas gritted his teeth and yelled, "What has happened to you? I thought you said you could wake up as long as I shake your body! I kept shaking you, but you never opened your eye! You even tried to kiss me, Arthur!" 

That dream I had turned into a living nightmare. It was a good thing that I didn't kiss this man in front of me and kept it family friendly even when I was inside that bar. 

"You were even moaning up there, Arthur. Maybe you're thinking about lewd things like any other man would. After all, humans are full of lust inside of them, including you, Arthur. But you could play with me anytime that you want as long as it's you," Lilith said, while playfully twisting my tongue. "Don't worry, Art. I won't tell a single soul. Well, if you know what I mean."

As soon as Liltih said those words, my eyes followed her bust chest. I gawked at them for a few minutes before averting my gaze on the side. But my sinful orbs leered at Merleen's average melons. Fortunately, she used Lilith's thighs as her pillow and slept on them. If she heard those words Lilith explained, she would have already scolded me for the umpteenth time.

Even though she continued sleeping, Merleen growled in her dreams. It happened right after Lilith said her fill.

Fenrir had her eyes wide awake and stared at the wagon's wall. But despite waving our hands, Fenrir never noticed our disturbance. She continued gazing at the wall while snoring to herself. It took us a few minutes before realising she slept with her eyes wide open.

I cleared my throat and answered, "I will think about it. Hey, Meliodas! Give me the ropes! It's getting pretty hot in here."

Meliodas gave me a grunt as he scooched the rope to my side and snuggled himself to sleep. I put him up for around twenty hours without taking a bite or shutting his eyes. He was like an underpaid employee that just got home to play soccer or something.

(Author's note: That's not an appropriate joke, but I will just leave that there.)

We had shifts to maintain a healthy schedule for handling the carriage. Even coachmen needed some rest after riding the horse for hours without break. However, that didn't happen to Meliodas thanks to my blissful dream. 

That man even wanted to use magic to wake me up. But every time Meliodas would snick a magic spell in his hands, Lilith was already eyeing his actions out. Lilith explained that she would glare in Meliodas' direction and scare the hell out of him!

It would have been a blast if I was awake when that happened.

But before I could even take my hands on the rope, an instinct instinctively kicked in. Fenrir and Lilith reacted afterwards in the hopes of finding the culprit. Lilith woke Merleen up from her thighs and briefed her about what had happened. I woke Meliodas too even though he hadn't slept at all.

"BUT I HAVEN'T SLEPT A WINK, ARTHUR! CAN YOU GUYS FIGHT IT OR SOMETHING?!" Meliodas shouted, but became silent after witnessing an arrow flying over in his direction.

Thanks to my quick fingers, I hauled Meliodas' body towards me and shielded him using Aegis. Despite this sudden assault, I wanted to thank these individuals for attacking our caravan. It was my time to finally showcase my shield and use it as my training ground for the time being.

As long as nobody would die from these entities, everything would turn out okay.

We had to stop the carriage and locate the creatures attacking us on our trip. After waking Merleen, she conjured a bright spell and coated the carriage with light magic. Lilith couldn't amplify Merleen's magic, since she could only use dark abilities. 

But even though those two antagonistic spells didn't stack, Lilith could do something better. She emerged outside the cart and prepared one thousand magic circles in front of her> Within a few seconds, Lilith fired those magic spheres at the place where the attackers discharged their spells. Lilith could calculate that distance since she had been fighting countless creatures in her prime.

It would take an army of massive spells to take down Lilith that could overpowered her statistical powers.

However, the fight didn't end there. Even though Lilith struck the attackers with dark magic, those creatures didn't give up. Instead of arrows, those mysterious assailants used raw magic. They prepared another set of spells and directed it towards us.

But instead of using the elemental magic like from their arrows, those aggressors used light magic. That spell countered Lilith's abilities, which widened our eyes.

"Besides Merleen, who do you think has light magic, Lilith?" I asked, while browsing my system. "And how many are them out there?

"Merleen and the church are the only individuals who could use light magic. There are only a hundred of them living in human kingdoms!.Not unless the people inside the church gave away their abilities for free or.in exchange with something," Lilith answered, while dragging Merleen out of the cart.

"And what would that be?" I asked once again, and continued scrolling through my system's slides.

"Money? Power? I don't know what humans want..Or maybe they wanted to kill the demons before anyone else! King Arthur could have planned this beforehand!" 

I searched my system for any abilities I could find using my shield. Since I had Aegis with me, it wouldn't be a stretch if it had any barriers that could defend us. But considering the shield was still around level one, it didn't have anything but the basic abilities and stats. 

Within a few seconds of scanning the skill tree, I finally found something that could help us. It acted like any other shield ability from the game. But Aegis had more overpowered defense features.

It negated every magical attack, except physical assaults. That spell was the only thing that Aegis learned upon getting into my hands. Besides that skill, I could use Aegis without having any set-backs.

It was the most overpowered defense I witnessed in my entire life playing this game.

I placed the spell in front of us while the yellowish light filled my view. Fortunately, my ability didn't disturb that radiance above our heads as I continued covering us with my ability.

While that happened, Merleen conjured a defense spell and covered us with her light magic. If a light spell crashed against a dark spell, those two would fight until their last arcane. The user who had more mana would win that fight, since those two were just the same side of the coin. As long as one held power over the other, that magic user would win.

Lilith could effortlessly win that match. However, we were up against a thousand people firing their light projectiles in our direction. That demonic girl could handle half of them but not everything. 

However, light could negate that magic. Even though it had the same spell, light could find its way to destroy the other light. The game mentioned that when the players would read the game's information. Although some players could argue that the same feature would do the same, Merleen had more arcane than those one thousand individuals. 

From what I remembered, Merleen was the only mage that had this stupid amount of arcane. She was only around level twenty for Magique's sake! I didn't know what would happen if Merleen would reach around level one hundred? 

I didn't want to know about that...

As soon as those lights crashed against Merleen's, those luminance failed to destroy her shield. I also amplified her shield using an ability from Aegis, which I found from my system.
