Fight it

Despite who she really was, I can't deny that she is very cute and helps a lot in battle! Bless me Angelina, I have some flash bombs. I will stun them and then destroy, those who will remain alive on you. You have deadly techniques, don't you?

"Blessing of Laetexia! Let pain and suffering bounce off of you like rubber. Let your bones become as flexible and strong as the rubber tree's trunk!" She said the chant and you couldn't help but chuckle at the silly wording. It did make you faster, stronger, and tougher.

"I only have enough mana for one cast of my flame of purity spell. It might be enough to take care of one of them, otherwise I have to use some reserve mana and that would wake her up!" She pointed at her chest when mentioning the witch. "I already spent too much mana healing your wounds and burning these wretches to cinders with divine fire." She motioned to around 6 dead goblins including the one that had snuck up on you and may have killed you if not for Angelina's healing magic. The original mission was so much easier but finding out the goblins were just pawns of a bigger orc threat was bad luck.

You nodded in understanding. Waking the witch inside Angelina was tantamount to lighting a grenade in a classroom. The witch inside her, Victoria, was known for her terrible mood swings when awoken from her mana recovery slumber. Your job was to protect the two of them as Angelina was still a fledgling cleric and needed to gain strength despite her 100 year contract as a vessel. You were only under contract for the company for 5 years.

The witch could safely recover her vast mana reserves in the safety of her home. Instead she likes to experience first hand how her vessel interacted with the world. She was able to feel every one of the 5 senses she experienced and her delicious emotions. She was also a co-owner of the company and was free to rent Angelina whenever and however long she pleased. Victoria was essentially your boss too.

However, you made a binding vow to protect the vessel, Angelina, not Victoria. So there was a way around the company contract, but you had yet to figure it out. Still, 100 years of servitude was insane for Angelina. All because of family debt. It was how the company acquired so many vessels. If the vessel died the debt was still paid off so many people agreed to sell their children or annoying family members to the company.

Even your life was bought by the company but not as a vessel. You had failed to **** a disloyal husband who happened to be an ex adventurer with incredible senses. They didn't kill you. They turned you and the adventurer's wife to the local authorities. They then sold you and the adventurer's wife to the company. She was turned into a vessel for 20 years while you were stuck as a bodyguard for 5. You had narrowly avoided becoming a vessel.

You stopped concentrating on the influx of memories and focused on the upcoming battle. Your dual daggers were magically enhanced by the company just like your lightweight durable leather armor. To anyone who saw you they would just see another company guard protecting a cleric from the Laetexia religion. Their local church is a place you need to visit soon since it seems to be like it was founded by an individual from your world. Your old and new memories had combined and told you so.

The ample torchlight gave you plenty of places to hide in the cave, one in particular near the tunnel where the orcs were coming from was perfect. You could see Angelina chanting and preparing her spell as a white flame appeared at its tip.

(Done. Have fun murdering them there's 4 ugly green bastards with clubs.)

"I feel full of energy! Thank you, Angelina!" I'm clutching a small swords in my hands, and I feel like I'm overflowing with energy! I'm running into to the approaching crowd of orcs clutching a flash bomb in my hand.

"There are only 4 of them, I have to cope. For myself and for Angelina!" I hear the roar of these monsters, they beat the ground with their clubs and run towards us. I looked at Angelina, she looked into my eyes and nodded with a smile. She was ready to cover for me. I moved towards them at a speed slightly faster than a human. "Hah, they're too big and clumsy, it shouldn't be difficult, I don't even know how he died the first time." They continued to walk in a group, I did not lose the opportunity and threw a flash bomb at them, I clearly felt the difference in strength. "Huh, they're probably too stupid to dodge." The bomb falls right in the center of the group and with a bright loud flash it exploded.

The orcs, terrified, begin to disperse in different directions, waving their clubs. Without losing the opportunity, I very quickly approached one of the orcs from behind and struck at his knees. He fell to his knees with a loud roar, just as quickly I took his life by decapitating him with a crossed blow of two daggers. While the others were confused, I dealt with two more while they were disoriented. By this time, the fourth orc came to his senses and ran at me brandishing a club. "Damn, if he gets caught, I might die." I move and dodge his clumsy punches.

"Finally!", I managed to get to him from behind when he opened after the blow, but he threw me to the ground with his second hand. I dropped the daggers and lay on the chest of the stones. I began to feel that Angelina's blessing was coming to an end and I began to feel pain after overloading my body. The orc came up to me and swung his club, I crawled back as fast as I could.

"I won't have time to dodge!"
