The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110: An Urgent Message!

It was a mistake to be distracted during a fight. That was something Aisha had learned a long time ago and had carefully avoided doing ever again.

Honed by her years of surviving alone, this was the first time she had been caught off guard.

Aisha’s heart tensed. She knew it was her fault for taking her eyes off the match for a second. Without hesitation, she activated her ability.

The energy that was about to blast against her was slightly hindered, yet the effect was almost noticeable.

Because—

It no longer advanced towards her!

Aisha released her guiding ability and formed a mental barrier around herself, fortifying it until it formed a ball around her.

A white light shimmered over her, nullifying Sabel’s attack completely. Not a single scratch was left on her body.

Not only that—

A shockwave of force that came from her own psychic energy rebounded into Sabel’s body, causing her to lose the strength in her arms and legs, trembling at the unexpected damage.

At the same time, blood spurted out of Sabel’s mouth. The rebound of her energy had somehow caused her internal organs to be shaken.

Fortunately, it wasn’t that severe and she hadn’t used a lot of her psychic energy. What was a miracle was that she never thought of Aisha as her real opponent and thus, there was no hostility nor intent to kill when she used her powers.

Thus, the damage was bearable.

Still...

"How did you do that?" Sabel gasped, wiping the blood from her lips.

Kane and Vesper had also reached their side and stared at Aisha with stunned expressions. They also couldn’t believe what had just happened or even anticipate the turn of events. It happened so fast that neither of them could stop the attack, even if they worked together to get there quickly. Even Vesper had only reached their side and stopped Sabel’s hand. But that wasn’t enough to block the energy from escaping.

Yet Aisha was able to think and do something against that attack. This was beyond being prepared and far from what an ordinary guide could possibly do!

In just a flash—she was able to build a mental barrier around herself and even hurt Sabel. That was something no guide of her age and grade could think of.

Kane could only stand there, speechless, unable to fathom the absurdity of the situation.

"Sorry, that was a bit too much of me." Sabel apologized first before Aisha could reply to her previous question. Finding her earlier question ridiculous and not right, Sabel walked over to Aisha and asked her instead, "You froze in the middle of our fight just now. Did something happen?"

Vesper stepped forward to examine Sabel and nodded. "Yeah, what’s wrong with you? Suddenly stopping like that before a sentinel’s attack. I don’t think you’re in a hurry to die, so why did you?"

Aisha blinked. For a moment, she thought about revealing what caused her strange behavior just now to them, but she held back at the last second.

She smiled wryly and told them, "I also got scared just now and froze. I sensed that it was dangerous, so I stopped to think of a way to defend myself from the attack."

It was a reasonable explanation. If she truly stopped just to think of a way to protect herself from a direct attack by a sentinel, then she had done quite a good job, albeit dangerously. Still, they could not deny its success.

"But wasn’t it because of your terminal buzzing around?" Sabel expressed her doubts. She had seen Aisha lower her gaze to her arm.
