I Got Isekai’d, Well Shyt!

Vol.0 Ch.134 The Lightning Rider

Back at the beginning of the fight, Mathew parries off a poisoned dagger that was about to stab him.

'Whoa! That was a close one!' Mathew thought as his adrenaline kicked in.

*Cling!*

"A-Assassins!? Gah! George! Robert! Take these two! Wina is in trouble and the prince is about to get stolen by the third assassin!" Sir Mathew shouted as he fought against the brown-skinned female assassin.

'I got to protect the Prince at all cost. No matter what!' Sir Mathew thought as he used his training and skills to fend off the assassin's blade.

But this dark-skinned assassin wasn't letting him go so easily to help Wina and the Prince.

And with the Galebane Fumes still in the air, Mathew got winded far too quickly. He could tell the toxin was affecting him by the way his body was sluggish and he was getting exhausted as the sweat started pouring down his forehead.

'Darn! This poison is getting the best of me. I got to stay sharp.'

*Clang!*

"G-GAH! This is ridiculous. How is this possible!?" Mathew asked as he barely dodged another slash of the outstretched arm of the assassin's dagger.

"I don't think so, you are not leaving until you are dead," the assassin said with a smirk.

"Damn," Mathew muttered under his breath.

"Hmph! We should have waited for the toxin to set in. Tsk! You were too impatient Ash," Violet said as she fought against the two squires.

Ash growled, "Shut it! We're making too much noise! We need to hurry and finish this!"

"Then do it already!" Gwin yelled as she charged at Mathew pushing him away from the Prince.

"You're not going anywhere," Gwin said through gritted teeth.

Mathew could tell his reaction time was slowing. 'I can't get to the prince in time!'

*Clash!*

Gwin and Mathew were fighting each other but Gwin was far faster and was pushing him back with each strike of her dagger.

And her fighting technique was unusual from any opponent he fought before. Gwin likes to keep a low stance. Almost like she was doing the splits while having her arms pointed downward with daggers in each hand.

It was almost as if she was a snake. Waiting to strike her prey.

'Tsk! I need to help the Prince but if I die here, then the Prince would be killed without hesitation.' Mathew thought as he had to be on the defense as Gwin continued to attack him relentlessly.

*Cling!*

"Grrrr! Get out of my way!" Mathew said with a snarl.

Gwin was smiling. "Oh, you want to dance? I like a man who knows how to take the lead!"

Gwin's eyes shifted to a dark red color.

Mathew's eyes widened as he started to see the triples of the assassin before him. Almost like he was having double vision. But somehow his instincts knew where to block her attack.

"How!? What is this trickery!? Are you some type of illusionist!?" Mathew shouted in frustration.

"Sort of, I just love playing with my food," Gwin said as she struck at his chest.

Mathew tried to block the attack but her dagger phased through his sword.

*Cling!*

"AHHHHH!" Mathew cried out in pain as the dagger sliced his flesh and was now bleeding.

"You're lucky that was my shadow that struck you. Otherwise, the poison on my blade would have killed you in a matter of minutes... I wish this wasn't a mission I would have made you my pet," Gwin said as her eyes had a hungry look to them.

"What are you?" Mathew asked as his eyes widened with fear.

"Just a hungry kitten," Gwin said with a smirk.

'Gah! Damn it! Is she a werewolf or a vampire? What the fuck are their kind doing on the Agon continent!? If they are here then we're in trouble. They only come to a new land when there are no more lands or resources to conquer. We're truly screwed if that's the case.' Mathew thought to himself.

"I can see it in your eyes, human. You know what I am and are frightened."

"I'm not scared of a bunch of monsters," Mathew said through gritted teeth.

"We'll see about that. Because you will be dead... Sooner or later... Once I'm done playing with you," Gwin said with a devilish grin.

'What? Is she some kind of succubus? No. She would have attempted to charm me... She and her friends must be vampires... I need to protect the prince. I need to save Wina... Oh, Goddess!? Wina!' Mathew thought as he realized his the woman he loved was in danger.

Gwin could sense his panic. "I don't think so. You won't be leaving until we are done with you, and you will watch your comrades die."

Gwin's eyes narrowed and her hands started moving so fast that her daggers became a blur and Mathew could barely see them.

"AHHHH! AHHH! GAH! AHH!"

"I told you, you are going to die here, human."

Mathew was screaming in pain and falling backwards as he was getting cuts all over his body from Gwin's shadows. That's when he looked over towards Wina and saw her beating back the male assassin.

'Huh!? I didn't know she could fight that well!? No, she's not just holding her own. She's pushing him back... I can't let her upstage me! How will she ever respect me as a man if I need her to rescue me.'

Mathew grits his teeth and uses his mana to enhance his strength and speed. He uses a skill he rarely uses because of the toll that it puts on his body.

"Lightning Speed!"

*Shing!*

His whole body was engulfed in lightning.

Mathew's eyes turned bright yellow before looking at the assassin coming after him.

*BANG!*

Mathew kicked Gwin and slammed her into the wall. Causing a dent to appear.

"G-Gwah! How!?" Gwin was coughing up blood.

"You made a big mistake facing me... I'm not going to enjoy tomorrow but you pushed me to my limit," Mathew said with a wicked grin.

'I have no idea why you are on Agon, vampire, but no more holding back.'

"You... You're a Lightning Rider!" Gwin said as she had a scared look.

Mathew's smile widened. "Yes. I'm one of the last few in this world. And you are going to pay for all the cuts you gave me."

Gwin's eyes widened. "Shit!"

*Cling!*

"G-Gah! Ah!" Gwin said as her eyes were wide in surprise as her blades couldn't match the speed of Mathew's sword. She was lucky that he went after one of her shadows that kept shifting around. But sooner or later he was going to guess right and strike her with his sword that was covered in electricity.

"This is what happens when you mess with a Maja that has lightning for blood," Mathew said as his yellow eyes narrowed on his target.

"And you call me a monster, meat bag! You're more of a monster than any of us. Your kind of human should have died out decades ago," Gwin said.

"Tsk! That's rich coming from you," Mathew said as his voice was deep. He moved quickly hoping to hit the real Gwin.

*Zap!*

But Gwin was able to avoid his slash.

*SHING!*

"Damn," Mathew said with a hiss.

"You will pay for that, meat bag," Gwin said.

"Humph! Like hell, I will."

The two were dashing around the room.

'Gah! Where is the real Gwin?' Mathew thought to himself.

But his thoughts were cut short when he sensed something behind him.

"Gotcha!"

*PING!*

"Ah!"

Gwin had tried to attack him from behind with her venomous daggers but the lightning was protecting him. As a small amount of electricity shot through the blade and discharged throughout her body.

*SHOCK!*

"AHHHH!"

Gwin was flung back as she was convulsing.

"G-Gah... Ack!"

Gwin was coughing up blood. She had no time to recover as Mathew was on top of her swinging his sword down on her.

"GAH!"

*SMACK!*

Gwin had just blocked the blow but felt the lightning discharge through her body.

*Cling!*

"This isn't the last you'll see of me," Gwin said as she was bleeding heavily from her mouth, eyes, and ears.

*WHOOSH!*

Her body vanished.

"Damn it," Mathew said as he was sweating heavily.

"GAH-AWK!" Screamed the male assassin who was getting stabbed in the heart by Wina.

'She did it! She killed the vampire!'

Mathew sighed in relief as his lightning was flickering. His skill was about to fade and leave him vulnerable. "Huff-huff... I need to keep this one from escaping."

He looked around trying to find the female assassin who was using her illusion trick to hide herself.

'I can't see her, but maybe I can sense her presence with my mana.'

"Detect Mana," Mathew said and closed his eyes.

As he closed his eyes. He was hoping to see a disturbance in the electric particles that his body was emitting. It's a trick that he picked up from his father but never had to use this skill until now.

Everything seemed so dark with his eyes closed. But the slightest yellow particles were floating around. He could tell these were his electric sparks dispersing through the air.

'I see a few signatures colliding with my mana. But they are too small to be Wina or George's. There are a few over by the door and one is heading towards me.'

"There you are," Mathew said as he could sense Gwin was in the air to the right side of him.

*Cling!*

When he opened his eyes. Mathew swung his sword down and Gwin was shocked to see him parry her attack and quickly counter it as his blade made contact with her stomach.

*SLASH!*

"G-AHHHHH!"

*SPLAT!*

She was cut in half and the two parts of her body hit the floor.

"D-Damn..." Mathew said as his strength gave out as well as his Lightning Speed ability.

Mathew looked over to see how Wina was doing and noticed George was covered in purple blood and guts of the other vampire that Wina had killed.

'Oh thank goodness she's alright!'

"Wina!" Mathew shouted as he sat there on one knee trying to catch his breath.

Wina looked over to him and ran over.

"Mathew!" Wina asked as she was worried about him.

"Hey!... I'm fine... I just used my ability to overclock my body. Huff-huff... How's the prince?"

Wina looked back to the prince and noticed he was passed out in his crib. He was asleep for the entire battle but with the Galebane Fumes still in the air. He probably couldn't wake up even if he wanted to.

"He's fine. But I need to give him an antidote for the Galebane Toxin."

Wina was about to head over to Quinus when she and Mathew noticed the upper body of Gwin was moving.

The assassin's lower half was missing as it slowly tried to heal itself. But with an injury of this magnitude. She was going to need two weeks before she would grow a new set of legs.

"Huff-huff... D-Damn it! Damn it all to hell!" Gwin was angry as she was bleeding heavily and was using her arm strength to move herself.

"I think I need to take care of her first," Wina said as her face was grim. She needed to know who sent another assassin to jump her claim on the prince. She thought she was the only one who was sent to kill the prince. But there were three assassins here to kill the baby.

"Y-You! How are you still alive!? The rumors about vampires are no joke," Mathew said with a growl.

"You will... Huff-huff... never take me alive, you meat bags," Gwin said as she pulled out a vial that had a clear liquid in it.

"Is that some sort of potion?" Mathew asked.

Wina's eyes went wide, "Crap! It's holy water! She's going to take her own life rather than face being captured."

There wasn't anything she could do to stop her and it wasn't anything surprising for Wina. She was trained to do the same thing. But now that she had people who loved her. She didn't want to throw her life away. Even if she was captured.

"See you in the afterlife, meat bags," Gwin said with a snarl.

*CRUNCH!*

*Psssssssss*

Wina watched as the vampire started to turn into ash as the holy water was melting her skin.

"Fat chance," Mathew said with a snarl.

*POP!*

Gwin's upper body and head burst open until she was nothing but a pile of blood and guts.
