《Re:Oni /Dropped/》
Chapter 1, But it is true
*Bell rings*
"That''s it for today''s class, remember to do your home work."
When teacher finishes his lesson, class president says:
"Stand up."
"Bow"
Everyone in the classroom stands up and bows to the teacher. After that, Sadashi starts to prepare her things for next class. Suddenly three women stand in front of her desk and start talking to her.
"Sadashi-san!"
A girl with blonde hair styled in spirals with blue eyes, wearing school uniform showing her slender body. With her two followers dressed in goth loli style clothes she is Lily Harper and she always harrases her every day, but nothing beyond that.
"What is it Lily-sama?"
Said Sadashi, she knows, once she starts her talk she won''t stop for at least two hours, that why she uses honorifics, because of her noble blood she likes being called like that.
"You know your place for a commoner. Oo ho ho ho."
Lily starts to laugh with happiness. Sadashi doesn''t hate that simple part of her, because at least she is an honest one in this class. After she finishes her laugh Lily tells:
"Congratulations on taking first place in the exam again. However!."
In mid of her sentence, Lily opens her fan, don''t know where she took it out from, and starts to fan herself.
"You beat my score by only 10 points. But still, I commend you. Because for noble and prominent families like ours, it is only natural isn''t it ?"
After saying that, Lily and her followers left Sadashi. When they left her, Sadashi finishes preparing her next lessons book and notebook. She takes out a mathematic theory handbook and starts to review formulas. Sadashi has taken first place in every subject except mathematics, even when she studies every free time she got. Every time she takes second place in math. At first, she thought she didn''t study hard enough, but now she started to think maybe it''s in her blood?
When she asked her mother, she said she also got the same problem as her. Why?
"Hey, Sadashi!"
When Sadashi hears that, she faces the source of the sound and she sees a tall handsome male, with black hair and an arrogant face walking towards her with a smirk.
"Where is my homework?"
Sadashi opens her bag and gives the homework him. This guy is Tao Hachiro, leader of this class. He decides everything in this class, because of his background.
Hachiro finishes checking his homework and gives money to Sadashi. Every day she does his homework in exchange for money. She was doing this, not because of she afraid of him, but because she is using him as a shield.
"Good work and as for the protection fee¡"
While saying that, Hachiko takes back the money he has given her, then walks away with a smile. After he walks away, some girls talk her.
"Don''t think that he likes you. He is just using you as a slave. Slave, be like slave. Don''t think about sedu~. Oh haha there no way some nerd like you can seduce him"
While saying that, the girls start to laugh. Sadashi has long black hair in a double braid over her shoulder, wears a school uniform and thick glasses that cover her golden eyes with unusual slits.
like this except she has black hair and eye
Suddenly white light covers the entire classroom, then everyone in the classroom disappears into the light.
Sadashi and her classmates wake up in white space and notice two huge persons staring at them, a man and a woman. The man is wearing an ancient greek tunic with a golden belt with blue gems and greek sandals. He looks like an old man, but very ripped, with a white beard, but what makes him unique is that his eyes are entirely blue and lightning clacks around them. Makes him looks like he is lighting itself.

And the woman is wearing a golden colored traditional kimono. She looks about mid-twenty with a gentle looking expression. Just like the man her eyes are entirely golden colored, glowing in golden color.
"They have awoken!"
The woman said to man.
"Rejoice, you 28 human children have been chosen as heroes."
The man said with a loud voice.
"Who are you?"
Class president Mase Yoson asks.
"I am the goddess of sun, Amaterasu, and he is the god of thunder."
While the woman said that, the man cuts her speech.
"I am King of Gods, Mighty Zeus."
There is almost no one who hasn''t heard there two''s names on earth
.
"We summoned you, because we need your help to fight against forces of evil as heroes in another world."
said Amaterasu. When she finishes her speech, Hachiko asks:
"Will we get a power? and what about our family?"
When Sadashi hears that, she gives a thump up to Hachiko.
"A power we will give you and as for your family, we will send our messengers to them."
Said Zeus.
"What about the world you are sending us to?"
Sadashi asks, but she receives a half-assed answer.
"High priest will tell you."
Then Sadashi notices Zeus taking quick looks at Amaterasu''s butt. She remembers reading stories about Zeus, at least she thought they were just people''s tales, but now she fully believes them.
She swears inside her head.
"Take your eyes off our goddess you shapeshifting rapist."
Suddenly Amaterasu looked behind herself and caught Zeus and her expression turned into a cold one. When Zeus saw that, he points at Sadashi with an angry face. Without any warning he sends lightning at her and captures her in the lightning cage.
"Say that again!"
When Sadashi hears that, she realises they must have read her thought and looks around her. Then she knows he will not let her go easily. And says:
"It is true and I don''t worship your type of god." with smile.
"You got courage huh? Then I will let you know the punishment for insulting god." After saying that Zeus lifts his hand and lightning takes the shape of long spear in his hand then he throws it at Sadashi.
With lightning moving towards her, Sadashi doesn''t have any fear on her face, but in contrast, there is a proud expression on her face.
"At least I insulted a god in front of his face, none of my ancestor succeed in that."
While thinking that, when preparing to receive the lightning, suddenly an axe with a green glow appears from nowhere and blocks the lightning, but not all of it. A small amount of lightning hits Sadashi and she dissapears.
Everyone ignores her and finishes recieving powers from the gods and gets summoned to another world.
*At the Sadashi''s family house.*
A messenger of Zeus appears in front her parents and tells them what happened, then because of Amaterasu, Zeus asked him to do one thing for them in exchange for their daughter.
Sadashi mother stands up with smile and asks the messenger to go to the mountan behind her house. The messenger doesn''t know what on the mind of the mortal woman, but he follows hre to the mountain.
*On mountain*
Sadashi''s mother tells the messenger:
"I know my daughter will not die, because we know the origin of the axe, so we will ask nothing serious. I just want you to become my puching bag until my anger disappears."
Said with smile. When the messenger hears that he also smiles. because he doesn''t want to do a job for a mortal. There is no way a mortal can hurt him so he gladly agrees to it.
"Then I''m gonna start."
Suddenly Sadashi''s mother charges towards the messenger with her right hand cocked, then sends an upward punch while saying:
"Way of Blazing Black Dragon: Earth shaking fierce fist"
*BOOOOM*
The entire mountain shakes along with the ground. The messenger is send upwards while doing flips. With s huge sound the messenger hits the ground hard, creating a small sized crater on the ground.
"Huu~ h?"
Before even comprehending what happened he hears Sadashi''s mother beside his ear.
"As expected, as a messenger of god you are very sturdy, so I am gonna continue my attack, so clench you teeth Mr. Messenger"
Chapter 2, Sealed power
Sadashi wakes up and looks around her, finding it much easier to move than before she attempts to confirm if she is the same as the other children around her they all have red eye and skin with pointy ear along with sharp nail.
She remembers that her classmates were sent to fantasy world while she was reborn as one of these red-skinned children. confused as she knows she should not have survived an attack from Zeus, she thanks the owner of the ax that protected her from Zeus''s attack. conflicted about Identity of the wielder of the ax as she could not recall a similar deity from any of her families many shrines to the varying gods including many of the lesser known ones, she, however, knows that there is no shrine for any of the Greek gods.
She sees nothing that gave birth to her or one that feeds her and kids. When she was thinking will she die from hunger Sadashi starts to feel her body starts to absorb and nurturing her. Before she wants feels what kind of energy is she starts to feel sleepy and lazy, then she decides she do that after her sleep.
*Second day*
Sadashi wakes up and sees around her then knows she is the same kind as those kids. She remembers she and classmates will send to fantasy word and she reborned as this red skinned child. She knows she will not survive attack of Zeus, so she said thanks to the owner of an axe that protected her. She feels she know an owner of the axe or not because her family has many shrines for gods that even she didn''t hear. But she knows there is no shrine for any greek related gods.
Sadashi again starts to feel her body absorbs unknown energy to nurture her body. Using that chance, she tries to feel what happening her body. She feels that energy was spreading through her entire body and her body unconsciously trying to absorb many as much she can. Before she finds the way to control energy again, she starts to feel sleepy and closes her eye.
*Third day*
Again Sadashi tries to control energy but also fails.
*5th day*
Again she fails
*7th day*
Sadashi succeeds control energy, and she starts to absorb energy to her body more faster speed than other kids and spreads through her body more effectively.
*8th day*
When Sadashi wakes up she knows she has grown up to size elementary school kid. She stands up on her feet and sees around her to see other kids grow as her. But only she has grown the same size as them using that as the chance she observes her surroundings. She is in huge dungeon-like place and now she in a cave that surrounded by fire and lava.
Sadashi starts to feel hungry but suddenly her body stopped absorb unknown energy itself, so she manually begins to absorb the energy to her body using the technique she found herself.
"DING user learned mana manipulation."
When Sadashi hears the sound of the ring in her head, she starts to feel her absorbing becomes easier. Sadashi felt like she is in a game that her second brother likes to play.
''What is it called? Hmmm.....
Oh! It is called RPG.''
Then I should can see my status and skill but how? Then she said
"Status!"
But she didn''t see and feel anything. Then she said ''status in her head.''. A blue screen pops up a front of her and showing all kinds of information.

"But why other''s are sealed? While she clearly remembers how to do them ?"
With that kind of thought, Sadashi tried to do simple punches and kicks but it feels so hard for her. Just after five and six punches later she starts to catch her breath then she tries to kicks. Just two kicks later she drops on the ground with sweat. Her body was just so weak and can''t-do simple attacks she just felt like the high-powered engine on toy car.
Now she knows why they sealed but then she got very curious for

Then she prepares to use Thunder fist from tai-chi and takes stance. But before she even throws the punch she hears noise

Again she starts her day doing breathing technique and tai-chi. After she finishes her exercise, she looks other children they still in their infant stage. Today she focuses on her arms doing push-ups, punches and stretching. Boxing is very restricted art but best for strengthening punches.
*10th day*
Today Sadashi focuses on torso and leg.
*11th day*
She spends an entire day for mediating and stretching.
*12th day*
She sees infants are grown to the same size as her, and when she observes them, the only thing she can differentiate between them is things down there. She already found a rag tied around her waist and chest for covering her private part. Well as if there is a thing worth cover.

She was pretty far from them hitting the dead tree she found. She punching tree using the technique she created combining boxing and kung-fu''s tiger stance. First, she takes a small, powerful step to her target then she punches it only using the momentum of step then she punches again without pulling her arm. The second punch is coming from her combination circular movement of her shoulder to wrist.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
It sounds easy but doing it was very hard for Sadashi because her body now is entirely different and weaker from her previous body. Especially for making the second punch.
*bang, bang*
*bang, bang*
Her successful punch creates this kind of sound that tree hit two times.When she hears sound Sadashi gets happy, and despite her tired body she tries again. But
*bang*
With the warning again she feels all of the muscles of her arms are cramping. She starts to massage her arms while watching the imps. Imps start to fight each other when after some time. They were battling each others using their arms, nails, and teeth just like beasts.
A few moments later one imp falls on the ground without one eye his opponent eating eye he ripped off with a happy expression. When others see this, they stops their fighting then rushes to half-dead imp starts to tear poor guy into pieces and eating it.
"From the moment they can walk they start to kill each other. Indeed rule of the jungle."
While she was thinking that Sadashi notices one big imp appears from the cave entrance and moving towards them.
When imps notice something big walking toward them they start to shiver from fear. Big imp speaks when he arrives front of them.
"Big is hungry Big wants to eat. Give me one or Big will be angry."
Sadashi was far from them, so big imp didn''t see her. Big imp lifts one struggling imp by one hand and smashes head on ground very hard imp''s head splatters like a watermelon on the ground. She just ignores them and continues her training.
First, she doesn''t care about them because they are just a beast just they walk on the foot
Second, even if she wants to her strength is not enough to kill the big imp for now.

When Sadashi see her status, she feels her former power slowly returning. Then Sadashi moves towards big imp
"Time for my promotion ceremony and you are my tests."
When she arrives front of big imp, she sees there is no imp around her probably big imp eaten them all. Sadashi starts to feel a little bit of anger inside of her it is not her fault, but still, it feels bad for seeing her own kind eath each other like food.
"Food? Big want to eat more."
While saying that big imp rushes to her. Big imp is a head taller than her and looks very strong from huge muscle around it is an arm.
Big imp moves his arm to grab small imp front of him. Just like other weak imps he already starts to think how to eat small imp front of him.
Sadashi moves to the left side of big imp. Then her one hand grabs around left arm of big imp meanwhile her other hand moves under it. Then punches big imp''s chin in angle.
*bang*
With a precise punch to the chin, big imp''s brain takes a huge amount of shock that strengthened by Sadashi ''s chi and big imp''s entire body weakens. When big imp''s leg becomes weak Sadashi holds big imp''s left hand and throws him on the ground.
While she was throwing Sadashi held big imp''s arm the wrong direction when he hits the ground, she hears a sound of joint dislocating followed by the wail of big imp.
*Crack AAARgh*
Big imp tries to stand up but his body already stopped listen to his command. As last ditch resort, big imp tries to punch Sadashi with his other arm. But Sadashi easily dodges incoming fist by moving her head and with a quick movement, she pulls big imp''s arm from wrist meanwhile with another hand she changes her fist to palm and hits big imp''s elbow.
*Crack*
Sadashi mounts on big imp with broken arm then she said with smile
"I am gonna break all of your bones. You will die while feeling what is weak it is"
Chapter 4,First Blessing
A few minutes later the big imp takes his last breath, takinga few steps back Sadashi observes her work. The big imp''s an entire body in the unrecognizable state His arms and legs twisted like Italian fusilli, his fingers smashed to splinters with bone shards jutting out in places, and finally his ribs and spine were riddled with cracks and fissures.
Italian Fusilli pic:
When she was breaking the big imp''s body she found out it¡¯s bone structure, it was similar enough to the human body to be tossed around with Aikido. If she had a sharp tool she would have cut it open, she wanted to know its pressure points so badly. Too bad she couldn''t find any sharp rocks around otherwise she would have found outwhat hisinsides looked like.
*Ding*

Upon seeing this Sadashi quickly adds all of her free status points to her STR, as she is impatient to unlock her Mu-Ryu fighting style. The Mu-Ryu fighting style is a formless style that varies on its practitioner, unique for every family member of her family. Sadashi and her mother have a similar style that focuses on footwork, arm strength, and powerful finishers.
For your info, her father''s focuses on counters and throws, her Elder brother focuses on kicks and agility, her second little brother focuses on chi manipulation and Gun Fu, and her first little brother is focused on grappling and breaking bones. This is why there family¡¯s arsenal of techniques and weapons have always kept evolving.
Looking around Sadashi decides to head deeper into the dungeon instead of searching the exit. Afterall to unlock her blessing she needed to fight opponents that were a higher level than her. Besides, battling is the best way of polishing her techniques and make them a true part of her body.
Exiting the little alcove she was bornin she finds herself in an even bigger cave, far larger than the one she was born in. Lava and flame was everywhere forming lakes and rivers of the stuff, all kinds of monsters swimming under the surface, thrashing about on land, and flying in the sky.
Normal beasts have no place herea as it would only mean death, even if it evades every single predator on its tail it would soon fall to the harsh elements. But lucky for her, she was born for this place so the intense heat was only a warm breeze to her.
Sadashi might like to fight but that doesn¡¯t mean she¡¯s suicidal, inching away from the literal rivers of fire she walks into the forest of charredblack trees. Unfortunately the leafless black trees didn¡¯t provide much cover for the flying monsters. With them circling overhead the threat an ambush or sneak attack was all too real.The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
And low and behold Sadashi hear a faint slithering noise. Tensing up she prepares for the coming attack, stabilizes her breathing she searches for the source of the sound.
"If you can''t see your enemy don''t move, wait for the moment of attack. You¡¯ve got only one shot so why focus on your senses, wait for it to make a move and strike it down." She remembers her father''s speech focuses everything on her three senses.
*a few moments later*
Sadashi didn''t move from her position still waiting for the predator. Suddenly she hears footsteps approaching from behind her. When she looks in that direction Sadashi sees four imps like her, but these were armed with short sword and oversized leather armor.
"Found food, food!" The imp with a knife shouted with glea, probably a scout.
"Is it dead?¡± Another asked intrigued, this one had heavier armor, a frontliner.
"Hey come with us." The first one shouted at Sadashi.
"It is dead so no need to trick to our base take her" A third one said matera factly.
From there ramblings it was obvious they planned to eat her, is it common for Imps to eat their kinds But even with this she didn''t move, she was waiting for the real predator.
"GGAaH!" One the imp shouted in agony.
One imp(the one with the knife)wasbitten by a black snake with a black colored gem embedded in its skull. Just a few seconds later the imp''s skin color duled to black as it dropped to the ground dead.
"Finally came out huh?¡± Sadashi said dryly
Ignoring the Imps Sadashi rushes the snake, using 90% of her chi she brings a devastating strike down on its neck just below its skull.
*BANG BANG*
With the heavy chi infused strike pulverised the snake''s spine as the force shredded its insides, Second Impact automatically doing the double tap for her.
*Crunch*
With nice sound, snake drops on the ground with losing control of body as it hits the ground.
Hearing a rather ominous swishing sound Sadashi quickly sidesteps the sword that had come for her back. When she turns to look at the three imps, she sees one imp thrusting towards her. Using this chance she catches the rusted and warped sword between two chi infused palms.
With the pitiful excuse of a sword between her hands Sadashi snapes the brittle blade into pieces. With his sword brocken and his shity footing the dumfounded Imp tumbled forward, falling into her already clenched fists as she planted it firmly under its jaw dropping it out cold.
Rushing the imp to the left of their hastily formed formation she takes him out with a sword hand on neck. As the Imp drops to the ground holding his neck she to the last dumbfounded imp. When imp sees her she moving toward him he panickedly stumbled backwards, flailing his ¡®sword¡¯ at her wildly. Easily dodging his messy swordsmanship, she grabs his hand breaking his wrist as she throws him over her shoulder knocking the wind out of him.
With a few quick kicks she neatly breaks the downed Imps necks, as she begins looting them. Taking the now black imp¡¯s knife as it''s the only passable Item among the filth encrusted Imps.

*Day16*
Sadashi finishes her morning routine of Taichi and Qiqong before she moves on to her footwork. The foundation of her footwork practice came from the traditional Kagura dance shepracticedback home. It was a dance that required a lot of precision to execute. Your arms needed to be at just the right angles at just the right times, not a single misstep allowed or else the wholething could fall apart. But with her undeveloped muscles all that came out was a set of slightly clumsy footsteps and punches as shebeat into a tree.
As punishment for her botched performance she received leg cramp as a result.
*Ding*
"Expected as much, Getting complete control over my muscles on my first try is impossible." Sadashi said as she massaged her legs.
Maybe if she got used her new body she''d be able to pull it off, but there¡¯s still a huge lapse in her control for her to pulloff Kinetic Linking just yet.
There¡¯s only one thing to remedy that, and that is to train her foundation. So when her leg cramps were smoothed over Sadashi restarted her workout routine. Starting off with Buyou and Yoga while being conscious of her surroundings to train her elasticity. After all if she can''t perform the Flow step then she needs to strengthen her foundation.
*2 hours later*
Sadashi drops on the ground covered in sweat and breathing hard as she tries to catch her breath. As her musclesscream at her for her mistakes she checks her status gains.

During her practice Sadashi¡¯s feet began to hurt as they were covered in blisters, thinking back on this she remembered that the snake skins could be used as bandages and clothes. Thinking this she wrapped snake skin around her feet, it looked stupid but it got the job done.

Looking at the fruits of her training Sadashi decides to explore the forest, and starts walking in no direction in particular as she lookes at the ceiling. An hour later Sadashi faces four red wolves and one alpha wolf with a red gem on it is the head.
When Sadashi prepares to attack them she noticesthe red gem on alpha wolf shines. Noticing that something was off Sadashi took action, immediately using Flow Steps to close the distance between her and the Alpha. a second later a fireball about the size of a basketball hits the tree beside her.
At her approach the Four normal wolfs attack Sadashi blocking her path to the Alpha, who is launching fireballs at her from the back line. Coating her hands in chi she evades first two wolf''s attack andknocks it into the path of the Alpha¡¯s incoming fireball.
*boom*
With the sound of the explosion the first wolf dies in a blaze of glory leaving the wolves dazed. Sadashi not wasting this opportunity appears in front of the second wolf, bringing down a heavy chop on its neck breaking it instantly. Right after that she quickly pushes another one into the next fireball coming after her, sending it up in flames leaving only two wolves left.
The Alpha and his last subordinate, with no regard for the prospect of one on one combat they pounce on her. One aiming to lock down on her arm, while the alpha charged up another fireball. Taking a quick step back Sadashi strikes the wolf aiming for her arm, promptly crushing its windpipe with a spear hand before lowering her center of gravity anddodges the incoming blaze.
Now it¡¯s only her and the Alpha.
Sadashi wants to knowif her chi can block the mana-based attack,, if it weren''t for that she¡¯d have killed it first before dealing with the riff raff. In fist fight it¡¯s always best to take out there supporting fire.
Wolf launches a fireballtowards her, and the time has cometo see ifher chican defend against it?
*boom*
With the explosion sounding Sadashi was thrown back into a tree, but there wasn¡¯t a scratch on her body. Her chi had protected her from the magic itself but not the force of the explosion. Smiling to herself she immediately stands up and ready to test another one of her burning questions.
Ready for the incoming fireball she tries to deflect the fast moving basket ball sized flames. With a gentle nudge from the back of hand and a little chi the fireball went veering off its intended path.
With her suspicions confirmed she had no further need for the alpha wolf and promptly broke its neck. Pulling out her knife Sadashi started dismantling the wolves, taking their hides and meat before turning to the Alpha and prying out the gem in its forehead.

*Bang*
Snapping out of her own self gratification by the sudden noise, Sadashi jumped back into her guard as she looked at the tree that had fallen over. A three-eyed bulltowered over her, with its two flaming horn and red gem bigger than wolf she had just killed it was more than a match for her.The thing is it had a nasty burn mark on the side of its face, probably from the fireball she had deflected earlier.
Seeing its gem is glowing Sadashi quickly prepared to deflect the incoming attack, but as the bull opens the mouth it spews a jet of flame from its throat with a fireball in tow. Quickly switching to evasion Sadashi leaps over thejet of flame as she tries to deflect the incoming fireball, but something unexpected happens.
*Boom*
Sadashi hits the tree behind her tossed aside by the fireball that had went off early, it¡¯s clear to see that the bull had detonated fireball manually. Getting up shakily it was clear to see that she was not unscathed.
"This world getting better and better," Sadashi said with a roguish smile on her face as she wiped the blood off her cheek.
Chapter 6, Drunk
Circling around the three eyed bull with her Flow Step Sadashi takes stock of her odds, and since she¡¯s only missing a quart in the tank she¡¯s good to brall. But the behemoth didn¡¯t take kindly to her sudden advance and launched several fireballs at her, Sadashi¡¯s only counter being to reinforce her defence with chi and not get hit and she dodged the blazing fury.
*Boom*
With a fireball going off on her left side quick as Sadashi was, she couldn¡¯t dodge them all as she had to tank an explosion that sent her flying. Standing up from the explosion only to see the mad bull¡¯s flaming horns coming right at her. It was too late to sidestep or and throwing herself was out of the question, the only option she had left was to jump its charge.
Taking this plan into action Sabashi slammed her chi infused hands down on the charging bull¡¯s neck. Using it as a springboard to launch herself over the mad bull¡¯s charge, and sending a good shock to the little titan as she rolled to the ground behind the beast. But neither wasted any time getting back on their feet, between such seasoned fighters a momentary setback can be fatal.
And it''s sad to say that Sadashi was two steps faster.
Charging half of her remaining chi into her right palm as she sends the shockwave through the Bull¡¯s skull.
With painful wail the bull shakes Sadashi¡¯s off it¡¯s head goring her arm. But the damage was done as the shockwave rampaged through the bull¡¯s blood.
Roaring in pain the bull through Sadashi off its head goring her arm with its blazing horn. But neither party left this clash unscathed along with the burnt gash on Sadashi¡¯s right arm, the Bull was now missing an eye.
*Bang*
*Ding*

With heavy footsteps the Bull stumbles away from her as he tries to get his bearings, his head ringing as a phantom ran rampant through his body. In that clash the bull had lost an eye, but that¡¯s only what the eyes could see. On Top of his obvious concussion, many of his now ruptured blood vessels where bleeding into his stomach and lungs. He¡¯d be dead in few minutes choking on his own blood, but seeing the message and the recovering bull Sadashi had a change of plans.
Ignoring his injuries the bull charged Sadashi cladding his entire physique in a glorious blaze. flames becomes more enraged ignores what happening in the body. With the blazing bull charging at her Sadashi couldn''t do anything but charge her remaining arm with chi, preparing for her next strike.
This next strike will be their last, and one of them was going to fall here. The Bull was on it¡¯s last legs, and with the little chi Sadashi had left if she didn¡¯t end the bull with her all it would trample her. All she could do was wait for the charge as she planted her feet into the ground.
When the bull arrived Sadashi had already slammed her remaining hand onto the bull¡¯s skull. Vaulting over the little titan once more as she sent the shockwave directly into his brain, slamming its head into the ground.
*Bang*
Accompanied by a loud sound the bull¡¯s flames died out as it hit the ground, sending Sadashi tumbling to the ground utterly drained of power. She had used every drop of her chi with that strike, but it was worth it as the battle ended and she still had a smile on her face as she began recovering her chi.

After restoring some of her chi Sadashi pulled out her knife, ready to dismantle the Bull. however the bull¡¯s hide was far too though for the flimsy knife to pierce, even when she enhanced the edge with chi she couldn¡¯t find any purchase on its hide. Sighing in defeat she dug out its gem and checking its info.The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

In a situation like this many would have been shaken from have been so close to death, but not Sadashi. This battle had a much different effect on her, it had awakened her too a new kind excitement. After fighting the flaming bull she wanted to know more about this new force known as mana. To the her now there was no better pleasure than to experiment with new techniques, and with the temptation of mana opened many tantalizing doors for her. She really wanted to know how the bull created those fireballs, or how it clad itself in flame while still increasing speed and power.
Using a few branches and the last of her snake skins Sadashi started patching up her wounds. After dragging the Bull¡¯s corps back to her practise tree with the rest of her stash. Then used the next two days to recovering from her wounds with her chi.
*Day 30*
After her arms had healed Sadashi was back on the prowl, searching around for new challenges and interesting trinkets to play with. The only annoying thing was that the imps seemed to be looking for her. Like right now she was beating the life out of two of them. One was carrying a sword and the other a knife and bow, their equipment was also much better than the previous ones too.
Any way you know how this song and dance goes. They engaged Sadashi saying something about strapping her to a wall, and she took offense to that. Promptly advancing on the sword carrying imp using her now habitual flow steps, before planting a firm punch under his chin with a resoundingly dry crack.
*Crack*
Seeing the crass imps neck and jaw bent at such an unnatural Sadashi grinded, it seems her arm strength has increased explosively. Her recent increase in strength surprised her than finding out her grandma actually married her gramps. (Don¡¯t Ask)
Catching the incoming arrow she quickly closed the distance making the imps bow useless. Grabbing the pore imps hand she snapped its fingers like tooth picks, before she trough him over her shoulder as she dropped him on his head.
*Crack*
Noticing movement out of the corner of her eye sadashi noticed a runner, scurrying off back to whatever base they have. He was to far away for Sadashi to run down and even less worth it so she just let him go, besides she was happy enough knowing that she could bracke an imps neck with one punch.
After the brief interruption from that rather rude company, Sadahi was back on the trail as she stumbled onto an old tree with weird fruit. Climbing the tree to get a better look she finds three weird gourds, and a few gray apples.
*Ding*

"Yay~!!! At last the sweet drink is mine!" Sadashi exclaimed happily as she plucked the magic fruit from the tree.
Honestly even if She didn¡¯t need to eat the because of her cultivation, Sadashi still longed for a good meal and finally she had just that in her lap. Pealing the stem off the gourds Sadashi began pouring her chi into them as she Excitedly brought one to her lips.
The first gourd she picked up was a light green color and about the size of a baby bottle. Taking a sip of the contents was like swallowing syrup through a straw, and tasted like someone pureed ginger and applesauce. It wasn''t pleasant and she almost spit it out before she the effects hit her, and her chi started circulating much faster. Shocked sadashi put the gourd away not wanting to risk any other side effects as she picked up the second gourd.
This one was the biggest of the three as the cyan colored fruit it was about the size of a pitcher, and even had a handle. But it was surprisingly lite for its size and supposed contents. Putting it up to her lips Sadashi took a cautious sip, only to be greeted by the taste of mildly sweet black tea. As the flavor washed over her Sadashi¡¯s skin was revitalized from the heat¡¯s punishment, cleansing her pours. Feeling refreshed she put down the gourd as she used her chi to carry this feeling across her body.
After eating one of the richly flavored apples sadashi finally moved on to the main course. It was a dark orange gourd that was about the size of a Wine bottle and aptly stout. Peeling off the stem and pulling out the cap almost ceremoniously, Sadashi was assaulted by the smell of cinnamon and strawberries. Pulling the bottle up to her mouth she takes a gulp of the sweet liquor, letting it burn its way down her throat as she enjoys the flavor. Drinking more and more of the spicy wine until the seemingly bottomless gourd was empty, and she was teetering drunk.
Just when she was about to feed the gourd some of her chi to refill it did she notice the approaching imps. Well armed and marching right for her, was an group of imps lead by a particularly beefy one wearing some big iron gauntlets.
"Haha! Lets see how well you can fight us off in this state bitch!" One of the small fry yelled at Sadashi after seeing her drunk off her ass.
The big imp only smiled at her not even bothering to correct his subordinate''s rudeness, as there was no real reason to waste his breath on Meat.
"Hihihi~. Do y-ou~ rlly th*hic*ink you cn¡¯ beat me~ in this shtate? No-pe I¡¯ll~ show y*hiccup*uo!" Sadashi slurred back at the jeering imp.
Stumbling to her feet Sadashi as she struggles to stand straight, her body hypnotically swaying side to side. Every step she took threatening to tip her over, as she faces at the now restless Imps.

Seeing the messages Sadashi smiles as she lets herself settle onto her right leg, and places her hand under her chin as she stares down the crowd of imps.
She takes stance like this show in picture :
Chapter 7, Im a Bad Man (Edited)
Seeing Sadashi¡¯s teetering stance only emboldened the mouthy crew of imps. So much so that some of their flock strutted up to her with all the takt of a bull in a china shop, no that would be insulting Tur with their incompetence. These brash fools couldn¡¯t even tell they were walking into the maw of a dragon, hell the only reason that big Imp let these rambunctious imps approach her was to test the waters.
In the big Imps mind they had cornered a dangerous woman that had killed many of their patrols, and eluded capture for months without even trying to hide from them. Even watching her stumble over her own feet didn¡¯t put his heart at ease, so what if a few useless pawns die it''s better safe than sorry.
¡°Bitch get on your knees and if you do a good job we might not send you to the breeding pits.¡± One of the cocky imps shouted rather crassly crassly, sparking a chorus of laughter from the rest of his cronies as they fumbled with their belts.
The poor fools didn¡¯t even realize what had happened before she had set upon them. Lurching forward Sadashi crushed the first ones throat, sending him spluttering to the ground choking on his own blood. The second and third reacted admirably for the fools it''s a pity they were as good dead. The second one didn¡¯t even have enough time to draw his sword before his chest was caved.
¡°Did I do *hick* a go-od job pigie~?¡± Sadashi slurred as she looked down on the dead imps, if they had said that she would have fed them their own tongues. ¡°I¡¯m shorry~ if I bite.¡±
Swerving around the third imps sword strike sadashi quickly dropped him too with a strike to the jaw. Grabbing his wrist Sadashi ¡®unscrewed¡¯ his arm from its socket before stomping on the back of his head, promptly ending his short life.
¡°Oopsie~, did *hick* I ushe to much force~?¡± Sadashi cleared innocently.
¡°Damn it!¡± the Big imp cursed,it was worse than he had expected. Not only was this bitch just as dangerous as she was before, she was completely unhinged. Barking some orders at his remaining subordinates sending them scuttling into formation.
Drawing their swords and preparing for battle the Imps charged Sadashi, fear Burning in their eyes. To be so afraid of such a little girl was unprecedented for them, and watching her stagger towards them was just as unsettling. Lurching forward Sadashi was already at their front line planting her foot firmly in the gut of one of these poor bastards, coughing up blood he was sent flying into the Imp beside him.
Turnin on her heels Sadashi was already launching another chi infused strike, sending it into the gut of another imp¡¯s gut before blocking an incoming sword. Snatching the incoming blade with a chi infused hand she ripped it out of the offender''s grip, only having enough time to toss it to the side before she was blindsided by the big imp sending her flying.
¡°Tha~t *hick* wasn¡¯t very nice~!¡± Sadashi complained as she tried to pick herself up from the ground, not missing a beat the last of the Imps went for the kill.
Rolling over Sadashi dodged the blades that were aiming at her exposed back, stumbling to her feet as she readies another voly of strikes. Sending her fist right into the first one¡¯s face caving it in, before kicking in another''s legs and stomping on his chest. Like a breeze two more Imps fell into the ash.
But that didn¡¯t make them falter as one of their dwindling ranks tried to stab Sadashi, only to let her slip into his guard and have his arms shattered at the joints before his vision went black.
Taking a step back Sadashi took stock of the destruction she had brought to the Big Imp¡¯s squad, 7 dead 1 pretending to be and 3 more walking corpses. Putting on a lazy smile Sadashi straightened her posture as she puffed up her meager chest.
¡°Shee~ you can¡¯t even shtand up~ against this much~.¡± Sadashi slurred as she mocked the big imp. ¡°How pathetic do you have to bee~ that you can¡¯t even match up to me when i¡¯m like thish!¡±
Touring the Big Imp charged Sadashi in a wild fury as he sent his fistes flying at her, furius and humiliated the Big Imp wanted nothing more than this little girl bent over his knee. Seeing his reckless charge Sadashi only smirked as she deflected the flurry of blows, in fact she was so confident in her strength that she matched them with her own blows.
¡°MUDA! MUDA! MUDA! MUDA!¡± Sadashi shouted as she countered the big imps fists with her own, shattering his arms as her chi ripped through them.
Stepping into his guard Sadashi finally landed the finishing blow, slamming her horned forehead into the big imps gut squeezing him and sending him stumbling to the ground. Swerving around the dyeing imp sadashi quickly the remaining Imps neaks.

Looking at the statistic screens a very drunk Sadashi begins picking through her new spoils. Looking through the scrap metal even posed to be worth her half-drunk effort, turning over three knives made out of a strange black metal and the bronzy gauntlets the Big Imp was wearing.
Without thinking much of it she took the gauntlets and began prying metal off them with one of her new knives. The Big Imp¡¯s gauntlet were just too cumbersome for Sadashi, if she were to wear them they would only hinder her techniques. The gauntlet were basicly leather gloves with some kind of bronze colored metal covering the outside. Pulling the all the extra plates off the gauntlet so they only guarded the back of her hands and her knuckles.
After slipping on the her new modified gauntlets Sadashi walked over to the trembling imp, who was trying, and failing to play dead before promptly kicking him in the gut.
"*Hic* H-hey bwing me to yr boss''s place, or I break all of your binec~! Cwap I bit my tongue!" Sadashi slurred curly.
Hearing this the scared imp just sat there trembling as he violently shook his head. Taking a swig from her gourd Sadashi gets annoyed as she starts releasing some murderous intent. Aside from making the imp piss himself, hitting him with such a dense killing intent seemed to quash any further complaints he had.
Taking a swig from her gourd sadashi began singing one of her favorite songs.
"I¡¯m a bad man
I¡¯ma I¡¯ma bad man
I¡¯m a bad man
I¡¯ma I¡¯ma bad man
I¡¯ma bad man
I¡¯ma I¡¯ma bad man
I¡¯m a man with hole
Where a good man¡¯s conscience used to be
Walking round with a
Stone cold heart
And a curiosity "
Following the the piss imp to a small underground cave, sadashi was greeted by an armed group of imps blocking her path. The piss Imp tried to stop them but they didn¡¯t listen to him and charged her.
*Bang crack!*
Accompanied by the dry sound of snapping bones the first imp lay dead with his chest caved in, Sadashi standing over his corpse as she raised another chi infused fist as she continues to sing.
"Killin like it ain¡¯t no big thing
I don¡¯t even feel it
I¡¯m a man with a whole big plan
For the world to fall to me
Woah woah woah the world will fall to me"
Crouching to the ground Sadashi spines around to face the imps as she strikes a posse.
"Wash away the blood
With the drink in my hand cos " Sadashi continues sings drunkenly.
*Bang*
Another sword rang as Sadashi deflected it, striking the flat of the blade as she headbutted the next imp. Swerving to dodge the next incoming attack sadashi dropped another heavy punch onto the offenders chest, and that''s two more imps lying dead on the ground.
"With the drink in my hand cos
I¡¯m a man with a whole big plan
For the world to fall to me
Woah woah woah the world will fall to me"
This time all four imps surround her and thrust their swords and dagger same time, but Sadashi suddenly disappears. Faced with Sadashi¡¯s fantom act thy turned on a dime, only to see her snap the neck of there former friend before landing gracefully.
"I¡¯m a wheeler
I¡¯m a double-dealer.
Tell you that I need ya
Then I¡¯ll Love ya then I¡¯ll leave ya" ~~ Sadashi continues her song
*Bang Bang Bang*
Taking a powerful step forward sadashi sends a big chi wave through the imps ranks, ripping through their front runner completely. Not missing a beat sadashi sent fatal strikes to the remaining imps before turning to the oncoming force.
"politician
demon on a mission
Telling white lies
But you know I¡¯m playing both sides
An abuser
Beggar and a chooser
Selling you a win
But you¡¯ll always be the loser"
While singing her last few lines Sadashi faces more incoming Imps, her body swaying from left to right as fear is plastered on their faces.
*Few minutes later*

Chapter 8, The Morning After
¡°Guoo~!¡± Sadashi groaned as she woke up to her splitting headache and terrible nausea.
Opening her eyes sadashi takes stock of her surroundings, finding herself in the Big Imp¡¯s cave that she had ¡®commandeered¡¯ last night. Though that is putting it lightly as she did slaughter all but one of its previous inhabitants. The little guy didn¡¯t attack her at all and even helped her move in.
¡°How the fuck did I get here?¡± Sadash gawked to herself, somewhere in between her assault on that brass-knuckled imp and the cave she had blacked out. Now she was surrounded by so many trinkets and treasures it wasn''t even funny. Hell, she was even sleeping on The Hide of Tur that had been skinned from the bull she had killed days ago!
*Riiip~*
As she stood up Sadashi was greeted by an ominous ripping sound that froze her in place, only to have her suspicions confirmed by the warm draft that teased her skin. Looking down at the torn rags on the floor that once protected her modesty, Sadashi panicked as she checked herself for ¡®blemishes¡¯ only to find her pale white skin clean.
Confused about her sudden change in skin color going from blood red to snow white, Sadashi began checking her body for other changes. Contrasting her new skin town her long ebony hair was streaked with white as well, framing her body as it poured down to her waist framing her body. If I had to describe her new appearance it would be that of a very athletic girl who¡¯s never seen the sun in her life, coupled with her perky ¡®honeydews¡¯ and Ivory horns she was very attractive. In all honesty, she looked like a beautified version of her former human self.
Thinking back Sadashi does vaguely recall getting a system message about evolution, and if she had to guess what gave her a such a big growth spurt to a whopping 170 cm it would be that. Realising this she quickly checks her status screen.

Seeing that she had finally unlocked two of the Mu-Ryu Martial Arts fundamental skills was exciting for Sadashi, so much so she almost skipped over her new skills. Thankfully she didn¡¯t and took a closer at them.

Excited to try out her new moves Sadashi was bouncing on her heels and spurring to go. Just the thought of the elemental powers the Gates whispered of was enough to get her blood pumping. An excitement that was only curbed by the fact that she was still naked, halting her in her tracks.
Seriously she was just about to rush out of the cave to test her new body¡¯s limits. The only thing that stopped her in her tracks was that she was totally commando and calmed down and looked for some clothes. Although Sadashi wasn¡¯t picky when it came to clothes running around naked was a little too ¡®Extreme¡¯.
Rummaging around through all of her new spoilers wasn¡¯t even that helpful, all of the clothes were either ripped to shreds or covered in filth. All that she seemed to find where some random jewelry and armor plates, well she did find a nice silver mirror but that hardly helped clothe her.
Finally, after rummaging through all of the useless crap she managed to find some half decent clothes. Consisting of raggedy black leather pants, some armored boots that she had to pull the mangled steel off of, some relatively clean cloth she used to keep her boobs in check, and a white blouse that no matter how you look at it was just too small for her to fit in. Coupled with the gauntlets she won of the Big Imp Sadashi was shaping up to be quite the rebel.Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.
Picking up some of the spare rope she used to as a belt Sadashi began tying the gourds to her waist, no use leaving behind such good wine after all. Rounding up her hair sadashi was about to off her braid Sadashi caught a glimpse of a cup dangling off her hair.
Picking up the little sakazuki as it falls from her hair Sadashi does the only sensible thing she can think of, and that looks through its info.

Treasure: Eternal Cup
This is a gift the Great Moon Rabbit gives to all Nature Guardians when they come of age, although its form can shift it always takes the form of the cup they are most familiar with. It is said that this cup is indestructible so long as their owner is alive. It is an Item that pairs well with the Medicine Gourd, as it can be used to mix elixirs, so long as it can be poured into this cup a Nature Guardian can drink it unharmed. Regardless of what one believes the Eternal Cup is seen as the shield of the Nature Guardian¡¯s and can reflect harm from those who hold them and reflect visions in its waters.
|
Looking at the palm-sized cup would have to wait as she was getting restless, with so many new things to try out who wouldn''t be. Quickly tying the cup to the end of her braid Sadashi was ready to set out. Hoping to her feet she almost ran straight out of the cave before she was greeted by a rather timed looking imp that was standing guard outside.
¡°H-h-hello b-b-b-boss! Is there anything I c-can do f-f-for you?¡± The little red bundle of nerves Stammered out trembling with every word.
¡°What, since when was I your boss?¡± Sadashi asked, honestly even if she hates imps doesn¡¯t mean she kill every imp she met but also she doesn¡¯t like to have any follower or minion.
¡°I¡¯m s-sorry b-boss, I-I didn¡¯t mean t-to offend y-you!¡± He shouted as he bowed panicking. ¡°This b-b-bottom feeder m-meant n-no disrespect. It''s simply c-customary for us lowly I-Imps to fall in l-line with one as esteemed with you!¡±
¡°What!¡± Sadashi said as she remembers her rampage. From the way, this imp looked at her with such fear and reverence it was clear what he thought of his ¡®Boss¡¯.
¡°Hay I can''t just drag you around and babysit you if you¡¯re around when I¡¯m fighting you''d just drag me down!¡± Sadashi said as she pushed past the stunned imp. Even if she were to let the imp ¡®serve¡¯ her she get anything out of it but a paperweight.
Hearing this the Imp panics as he gets on his hands and knees pleading her to take him in. ¡°Please let me serve you even as a slave I can still serve you! I can clean your weapons and armor, please let me serve you I can stay out of your way when you are in battle. Please let me serve!¡±
Turning around Sadashi looks at the Imp groveling on the ground, staring at him intently as she needs to chose her next words carefully.
¡°Why do you want to serve me so badly?¡± She asked sternly.
¡°I am an imp we serve those stronger than us for survival, if I were to walk around by myself I would be dead within a week. I have nowhere to go and surviving someone as powerful as you would be an honor.¡± He said trembling.
To him, she was his boss because she was the strongest and scariest creature that would even let him close. Frankly, he didn¡¯t care if he had to serve her to his death if it meant he could hide in her shadow. For him, this was a gamble he had no choice but to make.
Watching this imp truly brock Sadashi¡¯s heart. She couldn''t save everyone and she couldn''t teach them to stop killing each other, but it was still her selfish pity that spurred what she did next.
¡°You know are quite lucky because I just so happen to need someone to carry my extra things,¡± Sadashi said as she stood over the imp. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±
¡°This bottom feeder doesn¡¯t have a name.¡± The imp said not even daring to pick his head up from the ground.
¡°How do you expect to serve me without a name?¡± Sadashi asked pointedly. ¡°If you have no name then from now your name is Sebastian, serve me well.¡±
¡°That I will master, and to my last.¡± The imp said with great relief.
Taking out one of her knives Sadashi split her hand open as she began the ceremony. ¡°Raise your head, Sebastian, from now on you will serve me and only me as my left arm and humble servant. Do you accept?¡±
¡°This one¡¯s blade is yours this one¡¯s body is yours. From this moment on I live for you, so long as you wish for it.¡± He said raising his head.
¡°Then drink to your vows,¡± Sadashi said as she poured the imp a cup of wine, letting her blood spill into it as she places it in front of him.
Sebastian didn¡¯t even hesitate as he brought the cup to his lips before bowing. ¡°This one is yours.¡±

¡°Sebastian Go back into the cave find yourself something to wear, if you are going to be my servant then you half to at least look half decent. Once you¡¯ve done that find some bags and pack up the valuables, I want to be out of here in an hour.¡± Sadashi said sternly as she gave Sebastian his first real orders.
*Day 34*
At last, they had finally reached the end of the cave it had taken them two days to get here but the payoff was worth it. It had taken them two days to get here but the view they received didn¡¯t disappoint them, as towering in front of them could only be described as epic.
Standing there at the end of this vast cave was none other than a humongous gate. Standing no less than Three meters tall this wrought iron marvel was even being guarded by an ax-wielding Minotaur that was tall enough to look down on sadashi. Not that she would let it.
Hell just looking at the colossus was enough to make Sadashi restless, if she didn¡¯t have more pressing mates at the moment she would have challenged it right away. But it had literally been two days since she had evolved, and aside from her morning stretches she hadn''t properly tested her new sea legs. She hadn¡¯t even practiced the [72 Beasts] since she had unlocked them, needless to say, she couldn¡¯t press through that colossus without them.
Looking around for somewhere to set up sadashi spotted a strange tree a fair ways off from the gate. It was pure white and surrounded by thick chi that seemed to prevent monsters from approaching. Approaching the tree Sadashi orders Sebastian to unload all the spoils she had gathered. Honestly, the oversized bags he was carrying were mostly stuffed with jewelry and armor he had scavenged from the cave, no matter how Sadashi tried to persuade him he wouldn''t get rid of it saying things like ¡®I can not neglect the Mistress''s property.¡¯ the fool.
Sighing Sadashi began focusing on the long warm-up session ahead of her, It would take hours if not days for her to adjust to her new body but the fruit was already there. And the only way to find out what she could do was repetition and exhaustion.
¡°Well, there was no way around this...¡± Sadashi mumbled to herself as she began her Tai-chi as she synchronized with the nature energy in the air, breathing it in and letting it wash over her. Repeating the same set of movements again and again as she pushed her body to the limit, increasing the speed and complexity as she went along ingraining every movement into her bones.
Minutes of this passed then hours then a day until she finally collapsed, and the cloudy mass of after images faded away leaving her nothing left to do but meditate. Sitting there to recover her energy as she nudged around at the energy around, feeling for the elements in the air as she messed around with her new skill. It was like grabbing at wisps of smoke in an empty room, but you could definitely feel it it was entrancing.
In fact, she was so focused on the task at hand she even lost track of time as she muscled around her chi until she finally caught hold of them. Holding her newly caught elements tightly with her chi Sadashi beguines working on her skills. Rapping nearly half of her chi around those vague little wisps Sadashi began to squeeze, pressing in on them as force feeding them her chi as she makes them hers.
Almost on instinct, Sadashi began chanting a mantra, it wasn¡¯t necessary for the skill but it did help sharpen her mind as she began forming the wisps into five little flames. As she lit these little flames Sadashi felt her chi latch hold of them as they greedily sucked her dry. Startled Sadashi did the only thing she could do as she could do, fight through the pain and refine as much chi as she could.
Desperately pulling at Nature Sadashi funneled as much chi into her infantile Gates, feeling them shrink smaller and smaller as they compressed more and more chi. Trembling at their own pressure they finally gave, and like a massive sigh of relief, they expanded, releasing all of the chi they had accumulated up until now sending ripples through Sadashi¡¯s body. Fussing with her flesh and blood as they cast off their excess power.
*Day 46*
Finally, after days of practice, Sadashi¡¯s perseverance had paid off, guiding her five new gates out of her arm so she could get a look at the fruits of her efforts. Looking at the five glowing baseballs was even oddly satisfying as they floated around her arms.
*Ding*

Chi manipulation Leveled up (7->8)
|
"Hooh" Sadashi sighs as she breathes out a breath of misty blue chi.
Looking around the corner Sadashi notices that there was a Three-eyed bull staring at her, with quite the murderous glare I might add. Smirking Sadashi knows they can''t enter this the tree''s canopy so she walks towards them. Smiling at the opportunity to test her techniques in front of her Sadashi disappears from the bull''s sight.
Reappearing right beside the bull Sadashi seemed to take on the appearance of an angelic Shinigami as she brought down an ominous black hand on its neck. Just as her palm touched the bulls back it didn¡¯t stop there, as her black palm began to split through the bull''s neck as if her hand was a sharp blade cutting through butter. But it wouldn''t be butter falling into the pan today, only the wide-eyed head of a bull as it fell to the ground.

Executed [The Beasts Way (#13 Killer Elephant - Ebony Tusk)
Is a technique that concentrates a large amount of blood Chi into your limbs turning them black. This is done to drastically increase their weight to simply crush through anything in its path. This is a technique that is heavily inspired by both an Elephant¡¯s power as well as the technique, the Thousand Ton Drop as such it has a great compatibility with the Earth Gate.
|
¡°Hey, Sebastian! Come over here I¡¯ve got some fresh meat for breakfast!¡± Sadashi shouted hungrily.
Chapter 9,Fresh Air
As she guided the blood in her hand back to its usual path Sadashi ends the technique, turning her black skin back to its normal back to its normal skin tone. Staring down at the decapitated bulls head reminded Sadashi of the first time she used this Technique on human flesh.
She had cried so much that day, so much so that her eyes turned red. It wasn¡¯t because she was afraid of the blood, or because of the harm she had done. No, she was angry with herself for not making the decision for that moment. When her mother saw her crying she tried to comfort her, telling her about her own experiences with and how it was going to be ok.
But in the end, she did warn Sadashi not to show anyone her tears but those she could trust. Thinking back on such things truly warmed Sadashi¡¯s heart.
Looking over to the side to watch Sebastian approach the place she stood before standing at attention.
¡°Sebastian, you have chosen to serve me. This is a long path and there is much to do.¡± Sadashi said coolly. ¡°Though you are inadequate for your responsibilities you must work hard to overcome this.¡±
¡°As you wish master.¡± He said with stoic determination as he began processing the Bull.
-Time Skip: a month at the elven village of Wood Hurst-
The drumming of the march responded as the human army approached the elven village, rows of soldiers lining themselves up in front of the village¡¯s gate giving off an imposing aura. However, this was not an unforeseen event, these troops were commonly called collectors.
And just as their name implies thieve come to collect.
Hours pass by with no movement from either side until a Solder in flashy armor strolled forward. With a self-satisfied grin, the man opened a scroll and began to read.
¡°Here this now, you are now in an audience to the decree of the Kingdom of Slera.¡± The man shouted pompously as he revealed a discussing smile as he fainted sympathy. ¡°Due to the recent activity of the Demon¡¯s forces the Slara Kingdom have seen fit to give you are an aid.¡±
Pausing to look at the elves in front of him the man continued his speech, with a voice so thick with mock sympathy you could cut it with a knife.
¡°However, nothing in this world is free and all things have their price. All we ask is that once every year you hand over 50 adult elves to our forces, in exchange for their noble ¡®services¡¯ we will guaranty your protection.¡± The fat bastard said threateningly as he revealed a slimy smile. ¡°If you fail to pay the protection fees or if you reject our ¡®Generosity¡¯ then we will assume you have allied with the demons, if such a thing were to happen we would have no other choice but to attack. I don¡¯t think I need to ask for your approval, after all, it would be a shame if such a thing where to happe-*¡±
*Swoosh*
Suddenly an arrow clad in blue light pierces the scroll the gaudy knight was holding, effectively cutting him off as he scrambled behind his escorts. Turning to face the attacker only to find the village chief handing his bow off to his aid.
Standing their straight-backed the Elven man looked down on the overdressed solder, one didn¡¯t have to be an empath to see the indignation and rage in his eyes.
¡°Leave now fools, we have nothing for you monsters in human skin!¡± The elven chief shouted at the human soldiers much to the surprise of both them and his own subordinates.
It¡¯s not hard to imagine why the chief was so angry with such a proposal, honestly, the human king¡¯s depravity was truly disappointing. How could he demand such a thing from them, if they had demanded for their rations then maybe the chief would have humored them.
After all its easy for one to part with food and potions, but to demand they sell their brethren into slavery was beyond foul. Taking away 50 of their kin was akin to asking them to die. For such a small village of elves living on the border of the human and demon kingdoms they already didn¡¯t have much to spare, to ask for so many of their kin was insulting.
However, the fat knight didn¡¯t take well to those words as his face turns a deep red. This was the first time he had received this kind of treatment from the elves before. Every time he came to this village he wouldn¡¯t even need to lift a finger, all he would need to do is speak the demands of his majesty and they would agree without question. If they did they would face complete annihilation and enslavement.
¡®How can these pathetic twigs not know their place!¡¯ The fat knight though enraged as he signaled for his men to leave.
¡°I will remember this!¡± He yelled as he tucked his tail between his legs.
Seeing this the elven chief sighed in relief as he let his tension go. Walking back into the village the chief summoned all the leaders for a meeting, and today''s topic was the rather important matter of their defenses.
-Time Skip: half an hour-
¡°Are you insane Arlen!!!¡± Shouted one of the elders at the top of their lungs. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you agree with them, are you daft in the head or do you want all of us to die!?¡±
¡°Oh, are you suggesting that we have 50 strong to spare Zaor, or are you just noble enough to volunteer?¡± Arlen rebuked as he shot a disgusted glare at the old man. ¡°Besides it didn¡¯t matter if I had agreed to their terms they would have attacked us anyway! They¡¯ve been eyeing this forest for years now, and now that a war is brewing they¡¯d only want it more! This forest is our home we must protect it according to the High Elves!¡±
¡°The High Elves have been dead for decades now they¡¯ve fallen to ruin and their era is finished.¡± Spoke another council member as they stepped forward, completely ignoring the foolish old man who was currently fuming in the back. ¡°Even if we were to defend this forest the only power they left us is that Summoning Gate, and all of the guardians that would have heard that call are long dead.¡±
What the woman said was true the Human Empires had seen to their extinction. During the years after the last great war, the humans had been quite opportunistic, hunting down every one of the once great High Elves and their Nature Guardians.
Honestly, if they could call a nature guardian they wouldn¡¯t be having these problems, to begin with. With their sheer might, they could just shrug off the human kingdom¡¯s advances.
¡°I know that Connall, but are you suggesting we run?¡± Arlen asked the man. ¡°All of our escape roots have been cut off. The Demons territory is far too dangerous for us to flee through, and the Beast Kings sill does not stand for our kind in their territory. Usually, if we wanted to flee we would do it through the human¡¯s territory, but even then, we would just be picked off and enslaved! We have nowhere left to run and the only way we can surviving thi-!¡±
¡°Uncle~!¡± A voice shouted cutting Arlen¡¯s sentence off as an adorable little girl trough herself at him.
Hearing the voice of his beloved niece melted Arlen¡¯s the usually stoic face as he caught her. Carrie the adorable little four-year-old was all he had left of his sister Ava. Her clear jade-like eyes, pale skin, and white shoulder length hair that made the little girl look like purity incarnate. Coupled with her cute little face and cat ears and tail that marked her as a half Beast made her the cutest thing you¡¯d ever see.
However, the same Beast kin features that gave her this beauty made her hatted among elves. A fact made more apparent by how the five elders didn¡¯t even try to hide their disgust.
You see Elves and the Beasts have never been on good terms since the last great war. Some elves even go so far as to call them animals, because of these children like Carrie are seen as despicable abominations. But that mattered little to Ava as she was a woman in love.
This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.Seven years ago, she had fallen head over heels for a Beast-kin warrior by the name of Vorg. He was a persistent and honest man with his heart on his sleeve, so much so that it¡¯s no surprise Ava fell for him no matter how much the elders tried to persuade her.
At first, even Arlen thought the same of the Beast-kin, but that soon changed as he saw how much he meant to his sister. Even when the elders asked him to get rid of Vorg he couldn¡¯t bring himself to do it. Especially now that Ava was pregnant, but that was the last straw for the elders.
Using high elven law, they had banished her from the forest. Tossing them into the human kingdom without even giving them a second to argue. But that was just an excuse to kill them, as it didn¡¯t take long for the ¡®Collectors¡¯ to arrive with the intention of taking his sister as a slave.
Even when Arlen had begged the elders to save his sister he was too late. The town Ava had settled in was in ruins as the Collectors had burned it to the ground. Even by the time, he found Ava she had already passed as she was holding a crying infant, and Vorg surrounded by corpses.
He died on his feet though it¡¯s hard to tell how he managed that. Vorg was missing an arm and riddled with arrows. He looked like a man who should have long since fallen but somehow, he was still standing there as if his unwavering rage held him up.
Arlen made a point to carve the human generals face into his memory, he would never forget the atrocities that man had committed. He would not forgive him, nor would he forgive this village for what they had done.
But that was four years ago and he needed to take care of Carrie.
¡°What is it, my Soul?¡± Arlen asked hugging Carrie.
¡°Uncle~ I heard what you were talking au-about from the other side of the door~!¡± Carrie said excitedly. ¡°Will I need to call ou-our Guardian?
Smiling Arlen puts Carrie down, she had always liked the stories he told her about the old High Elves and their Epic Guardians.
¡°Listen well Carrie, guardians only appear from the Summoning Gate before those who truly need them. If you want to meet a guardian then you have to truly wish for them.¡± Arlen said boldly.
¡°Really?¡± Carrie said as she looked up at her uncle with sparkling eyes.
¡°Yeah, really.¡± Arlen said ruffling her hair.
Giggling she ran to the summoning room before getting on her knees and praying, leaving Arlen to his meeting with the elders.
-Time Skip: a couple of hours-
Walking into the summoning room Arlen finds Carrie sleeping in the circle, deathly cold and shivering. Panicking Arlen rushed over to her side as he poured nature energy into her and picked her up.
Since the day they found her Carrie had been chilled to the bones, and dealing with a condition they had never seen before. Carrie¡¯s body can¡¯t heal its self or recharge energy on its own and needs to be recharged. If she doesn¡¯t get it in time or stops moving she freezes over and loses consciousness.
-Time Skip: the day after-
The morning after the summoning fiasco the first thing Arlen does is check on Carrie. Quietly he sneaks off to her room to check if she¡¯s ok only to find the room empty. Panicking Arlen searches the house nonstop looking for her only to come up empty-handed.
Racking his brains for where she could have gone Arlen stumbles into the summoning room, and sure enough there she was.
Wearing her favored white dress and sitting in front of the summoning alter Carrie¡¯s looked like a shrine maiden. Only the way her ears poised and her tail swished from side to side made it clear she was excited.
¡°Hey Carrie, what are you doing?¡± Arlen asked gently.
¡°Uncle~!¡± She shouted as she threw herself at him. ¡°Uncle~, I just talked with the guardian!¡±
¡°Oh, really now~!?¡± Arlen said playing along. ¡°And what did she say snowflake?¡±
¡°She said that if I really~ need her help I have to stand in the circle and call out her name.¡± Carrie said innocently as she stared up at her uncle with her big green eyes.
¡°Is that so? Well, I need to go snowflake.¡± Arlen said as he summoned a small service golem for her too play with. ¡°If you need anything then just ask Clay here, okay?¡±
¡°Nnn~!¡± Carrie said nodding her head vigorously as Arlen walked out of the room.
After seeing Arlen off as he made his way to the defense meetings Carrie quickly got to work. Practically bouncing off her feet the little girl wasted no time, turning to the toddler shaped clay doll Carrie began ordering it around.
¡°Hay~ Mister Clay can you get me some of that special water uncle always drinks? Miss Guardian said I needed to give a sacrifice to form a contract.¡± She said sternly, completely oblivious to the fact that she was asking the golem for wine.
Hearing Carrie¡¯s absurd request the clay figurine didn¡¯t even bat an eye as he puttered off to the wine cellar. Looking through Arlen¡¯s selection of wine the little golem picked up a bottle labeled ¡®Tears of the Moon¡¯, it''s Arlen¡¯s most prized possession and is said to cleanse the spirit.
Seeing the little golem hop toward her with her uncle¡¯s favorite wine Carrie happily accepted it.
¡°Is this good enough Miss Guardian?¡± Carrie asked innocently poring the expensive wine onto the ground, letting the alter sock it up as it starts to glow with a faint green-blue before fading out.
Seeing that the summoning had failed Carrie¡¯s little ears fell as she became disheartened.
¡°Don¡¯t give up now little one.¡± A disembodied voice whispered encouraging her. ¡°You did a good job forming our contract, but if you want to summon me then I need another bottle of that wine.¡±
¡°Okay~!¡± Carrie shouted with renewed vigor as she sends the golem to get another bottle and waited for her uncle to get back.
-Time Skip: another hour-
Walking into the front door the Arlen immediately noticed something was wrong. The house was eerily quiet and covered in the sick sent of alcohol. Walking through the house Arlen¡¯s tension only tightened as he noticed the wine cellar¡¯s door was open, as. Panicking Arlen rushes to the summoning room to find his adorable niece passed out and cuddling an empty bottle of his best wine.
¡°CARRIE WHAT DID YOU DO!!!?¡± Arlen shouted at the top of his lungs, dashing over to his unconscious niece as he shook her awake.
Startled by the loud sounds and jarring movements unsurprisingly made Carrie wake up kicking and screaming.
¡°Nyaaa~?!!!!!¡± Carrie screamed as she desperately tried to get out of Arlen¡¯s grip. ¡°Uncle Arlen is that you?¡±
¡°Carrie are you ok? What happened? And what were you doing in the wine cellar!¡± Arlen spluttered nervously.
¡°I¡¯m fine uncle can you please put me down I have something to show you!¡± Carrie said playfully swinging her tail as she picked up the wine bottle. ¡°Miss Guardian said I could summon her if I gave her some of your special water, but since you didn¡¯t believe me when I told you last time I waited for you to get home!¡±
¡°Wait Snowflake what are you talking about?¡± Arlen said confused.
Uncorking the bottle of Moon Tears, Carrie didn¡¯t waste time listening to her uncle¡¯s protests. Poring the wine directly into the altar as she begone the summoning much to Arlen¡¯s surprise.
Glowing its distinct green-blue light the Summoning Gate slowly revealed the figure of their guardian. One that resembled that of a tall and beautiful High elven woman with black and white hair that completely ensnared Arlen¡¯s gaze.
Completely enraptured by her perfect figure he barely noticed several key differences. Like the small horns growing out of her head and hetero chromic red-gray eyes that most certainly were not elvish.
¡°So, where¡¯s the enemy little one?¡± Sadashi said snapping Arlen out of his daze leaving him absolutely dumbfounded with the sight in front of him.
Chapter 10, Proof
Seeing Sadashi and her baggage carriers¡¯ sudden appearance left Arlen so shocked his jaw nearly hit the floor. Rightfully so as the appearance of a guardian was exactly what they needed, hell if he knew they could summon a guardian he would have emptied the wine cellar. Well maybe not all of his wine -he still needs his drink after all-.
¡°Hay~, Onee-chan are you the guardian I was talking to before?¡± Carrie asked the horned elf.
¡°Yes, little one I am.¡± She answered with a soft smile as she crouched down to look at Carrie. ¡°I really must thank you for the drinks child, they were really tasty.¡±
Pulling out a red cup Sadashi takes a big sip of the wine Carrie had sent her. Giggling the little white cat went over to her uncle beckoning him over. Snapping out of his brooding daze Arlen was immediately on guard again as he stared sharply at Sebastian.
¡°Pardon my rudeness but I need to ask for proof that you are what you say.¡± Arlen growled as he did his best to seem menacing, though it only elicited a smirk from Sadashi.
¡°Sure.¡± Sadashi said smirking as she began pulling up her shirt, deliberately taking her time as she exposed her toned stomach as she teased Arlen¡¯s imagination.
¡°Wh-what are you doing!¡± Arlen spluttered as his face turned beat red while staring at Sadashi who was ¡®ignoring¡¯ his out bursts. ¡°I didn''t tell you to strip!¡±
Smiling at Arlen¡¯s flustered outburst Sadashi giggled. ¡°What are you talking about, you asked me for Identification didn¡¯t you?¡±
¡°I DIDN¡¯T TELL YOU TO STRIP!¡± He retorted as he covered a confused Carrie¡¯s eyes who promptly began flailing.
¡°What are you talking about!?¡± Sadashi mercilessly teased as she did her best to sound incredulous. ¡°Who said I was stripping you pervert!? I''m just showing you the our contract Seal!¡±
¡°OUR WHAT!!!?¡± Arlen shouted as his head started spinning as his blood rushed to his ¡®head¡¯. Staring at her belly Arlen began to make out the shape of the Moon Tree planted on shield crest there.
¡°What are you staring at so intently you pervert?¡± Sadashi said snidely as she enjoyed Arlen¡¯s confusion. ¡°What do you need a closer look at my body or are you going to pitch a tent elsewhere?¡±
¡°I uugh¡ sorry.¡± Arlen said in a small voice.
¡°What was that?¡± Sadashi asked as she pushed him into a corner.
¡°I¡¯m sorry for my rudeness Guardian.¡± Arlen said gritting his teeth as he composed himself.
¡°It''s fine I was the one teasing you.¡± Sadashi said as she smiled down at Arlen who seemed to just get what had happened. ¡°Seriously don''t worry about it being a little cautious is healthy!¡±
¡°*Cough* ahem! Well then my name is Arlen I am the head of this village, and this little one here is Carrie my niece and the one who summoned you.¡± He said as he uncovered the little girl¡¯s eyes who didn¡¯t look to pleased with her uncles antics.
¡°Well it''s nice to meet you Arlen my name is Sadashi and this one here is my butler Sebastian!¡± The horned elf said cheerily introduced herself. ¡°As you know I''m a Pure Ogre that was summoned to protect this village and act as a bodyguard by Carrie-chan~.¡±
Shaking his head Arlen sighed. ¡°Well then the only thing left for us to do is introduce you to the council and show you around town!¡±
¡°Then it¡¯s a date~!¡± Sadashi teased causing Arlen¡¯s ears to turn red as Carrie looked up at them confused.
¡°Can I come to Onee-chan?¡± Carrie asked as she stared up at Sadashi with her innocent, heart melting eyes.
¡°Oh~, of course you can sweetie~!¡± Sadashi agreed before Arlen could say no, pulling precious little girl into her embrace.
Picking Carrie up Sadashi secretly sent her spiritual sense into the little girl''s body, scanning her body for any abnormalities only to receive a nasty shock. It seems that one of Sadashi¡¯s old wounds has reared its ugly head within this little girl.
¡°Frozen Heart Constitution!!!!?¡± Sadashi asked shocked as she noticed Carrie rapidly losing body heat.
Hearing Sadashi¡¯s shout Arlen snapped around to look at her, a deadly seriously glint in his eyes as he closed in on her.
¡°What did you just say, Frozen Heart Constitution? Did you recognize Carrie¡¯s condition? Do you have a way to cure her, if you can cure her I¡¯ll give you anything!!!¡± Arlen said earnestly rambling off questions.
Seeing the man that was previously so flustered by her teasing become so serious startled even Sadashi.
¡°W-well yeah, I had a similar condition when I was young.¡± Sadashi said flustered by how close Arlen was standing to her. ¡°It¡¯s a condition where your body can¡¯t produce any body heat and you rapidly lose energy, as for the treatment the only thing you need to do is keep warm and keep moving till you can¡¯t move a muscle for every day till you reach age 12.¡±
¡°Really is that all?¡± Arlen asked relieved. ¡°Thank you, what is it you want as payment again?¡±
¡°No just forget it I don''t need anything for the treatment I can do it for free.¡± Sadashi said forcing a smile. ¡°I''m all too aware of the pain brought by this condition. But that''s besides the point, let''s get going.¡±
*A few hours later*
Taking a stroll through the village Sadashi continued to take notes on the geography. The town''s location wasn¡¯t that bad and it shouldn¡¯t be to hard to defend. The tall trees surrounding the town provided quite a bit of cover from arrows and magic, while the town''s elevation gave invaders an uphill fight.
All that''s left to make this place more defensible are a few trenches and fences. The only thing left for Sadashi to check was¡
¡°Hay Arlen, can I test the guards before we meet the council?¡± Sadashi asked.
¡°Well we''re meeting the council at the training grounds already so I might as well introduce you to the captain.¡± Arlen said as they turned into the training grounds where the guard captain was drilling his subordinates.
On training ground, there is every one of council except Zaor
Noticing their arrival the brown-haired captain signaled for the troops to stops the drills and came to greet them.
¡°Greetings chief I hope you''ve had a great day but what brings you here?¡± The captain asked with a short bow along with five of his subordinates, but that didn¡¯t hide the glances they shot Sadashi¡¯s way.
¡°Hello captain I came to see how you were doing as well as introduce the Guardian.¡± Arlen said with a rather straight-backed toun.
Picking up on her queue Sadashi stepped forward and introduced herself.
¡°Hello my name is Homura Sadashi, I was summoned by this little one as this village''s Guardian.¡± She said as she pulled a shy Carrie into her embrace. ¡°As for this imp, his name is Sebastian, my butler.¡±
Surprised the guard captain hastily introduced himself. ¡°It¡¯s a pleasure to meet you, esteemed Guardian, my name is Khiral I am the captain of the guards and these five are my direct subordinates. If there is anything you may need please don''t hesitate to ask.¡±
Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
Seeing the two getting along well Arlen smiles as he tells them about Sadashi¡¯s wishes.
¡°Listen Khiral, on our way here Sadashi said that she wanted to test the metal of you and the guards. I was hoping you would oblige.¡± Arlen said with a slight smile.
Hearing this the smile on Khiral¡¯s face stiffened as he looked sadashi up and down.
¡°Hay who do you think you are, huh!!!?¡± Guard #1 shouted incredulously.
¡°What kind of head do you have on your shoulders to challenge us when you don''t even have a weapon!!!?¡± Guard #2 said followed up.
¡°What do you think that just because you¡¯re a Guardian that we¡¯ll be polite!!!?¡± Guards #3-4 said after looking Sadashi up and down.
¡°What do you think you are going to do without a weapon, hu~? Flail at us with your bare hands?¡± Guard #2 said mockingly.
¡°That''s right buddy I''m fighting with my hands you got a problem with that?¡± Sadashi said smiling as the hummer drained from the guard''s faces.
Sensing the rapidly chilling mood and Sadashi¡¯s subtly increasing bloodlust Khiral quickly apologized. ¡°Esteemed Guardian I¡¯m sorry for my subordinates rudeness, they have never encountered someone who fights empty-handed and are a little arrogant.¡±
¡°Hehehe~! There¡®s no reason to be so stiff, just call me Sadashi.¡± Sadashi said pleased with Khiral¡¯s response, but that didn¡¯t quell her anger as she continued to taunt the guards. ¡°Besides there¡¯s nothing wrong with being confident with your strength so long as it doesn¡¯t go to your head.¡±
¡°Then let''s see if you can handle us shall we?¡± Guard #2 said with a disgusting grin.
*on the training ground*
¡°Are you sure you don¡¯t want a weapon?¡± Guard #5 asked Sadashi concerned, as he stood in front of her.
¡°Oh come on get off that. There are masters in every field the fist is no different, if you''re that concerned then let¡¯s test this shall we?¡± Sadashi said with a playful grin.
Looking at her with a perplexed gaze the guard took the bait. ¡°What do you propose?¡±
¡°Honestly the way you constantly underestimate me is getting a little insulting,¡± Sadashi said ash she released a little blood lust. ¡°So to quash your doubts I¡¯ll give you one strike to test my metal, just don¡¯t squander it.¡±
¡°If you insist I¡¯ll oblige just don¡¯t regret it.¡± Guard #5 said as he readied his Halberd.
Raising his weapon the guard brought the axe blade down on Sadashi, swinging his halberd with exaggerated effort. With such a slow and clunky attack the guard had no doubts in his mind that Sadashi could dodge the attack.
Even if she had insulted there strength she was still an unarmed girl, even if she was overconfident there was no reason for him to really harm the girl. But to his surprise Sadashi didn¡¯t even flinch as she saw the blade descend on her, only raising a hand to stop the blade.
Panicking the guard desperately pulled back trying to divert the blow but it was already too late. The halberd had already fallen into her hands as she caught the axe blade with her chi infused hand.
¡°See~?¡± Sadashi said with thinly veiled anger as she firmly held the halberd in place. ¡°It''s not healthy to swing a weapon with so little back bone, if your going to point this at some one then be ready to cut them down!¡±
*Slash*
As Sadashi¡¯s gaze of shining red eye passed over the remaining guards raking over them like invisible swords. As like swords that would cut them down if they moved a single muscle out of line. Under her scanning gaze, the formulary cocky men were now trembling in there boots.
Satisfied Sadashi retracted her Killing Intent, but just as she did the men fell to the ground like dolls that had their strings cut.
Sighing Sadashi turned to the only man still standing, Khiral. ¡°If your men can¡¯t withstand this level of Killing Intent then you have four failures as guards.¡±
¡°I''m sorry my men aren''t used to this kind of pressure,¡± Khiral said with a bitter smile. ¡°As an apology for their ignorance, I won¡¯t be holding back.¡±
¡°I wouldn¡¯t accept anything else.¡± Sadashi said with a hungry smile.
Hearing Sadashi¡¯s response Khiral didn¡¯t waste any time as he sprung into action, launching his spear forward as he unleashed a skill.
¡°Tenfold Thrust!¡± He shouted as his spear released a red light as it formed into ten separate javalinns.
Seeing them approach Sadashi didn¡¯t even try to dodge the incoming attack she just slaps away attacks in quick succession.
Seeing his skill beaten in a unique way gives quite surprise for Khiral but immediately sends three wind blades to Sadashi meanwhile he also used wind body on himself and dashes behind the Sadashi.
*Bang* with one punch Sadashi blast away the incoming wind blades away then she grabs Khiral''s spear with one hand then rotates it while with her other she sends a punch to Khiral''s face and stomps her foot on his leg.
Immediately Khira releases his spear and creates small wing bomb and throws to Sadashi. But Sadashi suddenly disappears and Khira felt something touches his head then loses his conscious.
Suddenly Sadashi reaches her hands on the left and right side of her then pulls towards her. On each of her hand two elves dressed in ranger armor wielding dagger and bow appears.
When the two know that they got detected by her they activates the trap that they placed under sadashi while she fighting they unleash their dagger thrusts at the same time using a skill called [cutting edge] that increases the sharpness of edged weapon by enhancing with mana.
Seeing the two daggers clad in faint blue light aims at her sides and magic traps under her, Sadashi didn''t show any surprised expression. With a nonchalant face, Sadashi grabs the two ranger¡¯s hoods twisted it two rangers start to choke by their own clothes meanwhile she surrounds her leg in chi and stops on the ground while taking a deep breath.
*Crack*
Cracked rune with two-layers appears under Sadashi''s stomp and disappears into a ground. Sadashi drops fainted two rangers on the ground.
After watching the fight every elder agrees to Sadashi''s power suddenly they hear sound of something breaks
*Ting*
When they see the direction of noise they see broken belt buckle of Sadashi drops on the ground with sound. Seeing her buckle drops on ground
"What weak belt buckle hey! Sebastian, you said this is made of steel!" said Sadashi with disappointed face
"Sorry Miss looks like I¡¯ve seen wrong," said Sebastian then he gives new belt and steel boots to Sadashi
Noticing Sebastian giving her new steel boots Sadashi notices her steel boots also wrecked.
Everyone¡¯s face at that moment: <( ? _ ? )>
Chapter 11, Nani?!
During her stay in the dungeon, fighting and training were part of Sadashi''s daily activity but the stronger she became the more she needed to change her clothes and equipment as every time she used her strong techniques or instant movement her clothes blew apart and broke into pieces. To add salt to the injury, all the clothes found in the dungeon were already broken or low-quality ones.
Seeing iron boots that changed shape gave every elven warrior the shivers. If her stomp could change the shape of steel boots then what would happen if she kicked them.
She immediately told the elves to build a bunker-like structure underground to hide women and children or find a good place to hide many people. As for the ones who will fight, scout the area around the forest to find the best place for an ambush.
In a small village, there were only five elves that could use magic and that is the five elders that she met, now it is missing one.
During her stay in the dungeon, Sadashi accomplished the requirements of Glorious One and received her grey coloured eyes called Eyes of Jotnar.
| Eyes of Jotnar /Rank one/ |
|
As proof of your achievement, Grey Hawk gifts you Eyes of Jotnar for you to see the word in neither black or white but grey.
You can freeze time when not in a combat.
You can see every energy and their path.
|
| equirements to rank up: Blood of a Frost Dragon. |
With the help of this gift, Sadashi can see and dodge magic attacks if she is fast enough and also see what kind of element was used.
Sadashi talked to the four elders and Arlen to find a good place for the village to hide. An hour later they decided to hide the elves in an old underground mine that was sealed by the dwarves after they exhausted its resources but there was a problem, that seal was a little tricky.
The seal was neither magical or puzzle related but instead was a huge boulder making it difficult to remove.
They arrive front of the boulder and one elder casts a water blade to a boulder. Water blade didn''t even put a scratch on the boulder and also other three also attacks with their own magic.
They arrived in front of the boulder and one of the elders cast a water blade on it. The water blade didn''t even leave a scratch the boulder, the other elders tried their own magic to the same effect.
*a few minutes later *
Seeing the boulder without a scratch on it, the elders and Arlen thought it was impossible to move the thing.
"Those muscle brained dwarves, why didn''t they just leave the mine. What use is sealing an exhausted mine that is of no use to them," said Fourth Elder while she wiped her sweat off.
"Yeah, those stubborn idiots don''t know what is good or bad only know how to drool over ingots,¡± First Elder cursed them.
"Looks like it is not gonna work. We need to find another place," said Third Elder
While the elders were busy cursing the dwarves Sadashi stood beside the boulder and took a stance. She half crouched while creating a big space between her leg while places her left elbow on her leg facing boulder meanwhile she placed her right arm around her waist with a straight back.
With this stance plus her sharp eye, Sadashi looked very intimidating and bigger to the elven elders.
After long observation, Sadashi takes a powerful step on her left leg and placed her palm around her chest then struck the boulder while reinforcing her right leg with the ground.
*Hong*
With a large sound, Sadashi pushed the boulder away.
"Still using it on a thing with stable core and central gravity it is very hard," said Sadashi while cracking her shoulders and ignoring the dumbfounded elders.
Elders and Sadashi scouts abandoned mine. Only interesting they found a mummified dwarf that died while trying to take off the thing around it is a leg. When Sadashi takes the thing and after observation, it looks more like a bracelet than legcuff. Sadashi gives him a proper burial and takes bracelet to herself. Except this mine was just like ordinary one but more sturdy version.
"As expected naturally born miners," said one elder gives praise to dwarfs even after so many years mine pillars showing no way of being rust or weakening.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
They conceals the mine after they finishing drawing the map then they return to a village.
*At the village*
When they arrive the village they see second elder Zaor rallying the village''s guards to attack the enemy.
"Zaor what heck are you doing, " Said Arlen with heavy tone
"Don''t you see it I preparing to attack and who is this ? " said Zaor points his finger to a Sadashi''s direction
"I summoned to this village as Guardian my name is Sadashi" Said Sadashi to Zaor she heard he is very proud one from Arlen so she first gives her greetings to him for preventing trouble she doesn''t know when human force will come so she doesn''t want to waster her energy to useless things.
"That is good then go with me and let''s destroy the enemy," said Zaor with smile
"no I not summoned to act as your bodyguard but to protect this village you want to die then die alone and you are not a village''s head," said Sadashi with business like a smile
Hearing Sadashi''s word Zaor''s smile cramps and his face starts to turn red then white but before he says the word Arlen call the calls all elders and villagers to present their choice.
*a few minutes later*
Every villager''s face turns blue because they don''t want to hide in mine but after persuasion of Arlen they know their life more important than pride so they start to prepare their things.
Surprisingly Zaor''s didn''t say anything during their choice or persuasion with a blue face. He quickly runs away after saying going to his house to prepare things for his wife and child.
"I need to recover my energy" while saying that
Sadashi closes her eyes and starts to concentrate chi on her senses while controlling wind element and earth element surrounding village
| Executed perfect [The Beasts Way (#71 Escaping mice - Predator sense ) |
| By shutting down all of the user''s senses other than hearing and touching, User becomes incredibly sensitive to sound and environment which results the user can sense every living around it. |
Sadashi starts to sense every living thing around the village including footsteps and heartbeat.
Seeing Sadashi just sitting on the ground like a statue Arlen and elders leave her to not disturb what she doing.
*a few hours later *
"Miss guardian what are you doing ?" asks Carrie while tilting her head.
"Trying to catch a fish," said Sadashi while rubbing little girls head
When Carrie hear that she asks "Will Guardian give me some fish ?" with drool appears on her small mouth looks like a little kitten that begging food from an owner.
"Hehe sorry little one but that fish likes to eat small kid like you with his big scary mouth even so will you still eat it ?" said Sadashi with warm smile
Carrie imagines big fish starts to chase her with big mouth then she quickly shakes her head.
"It is okay when the time comes I will give you fish," after saying that Sadashi put Carrie into sleep by gently pitching her neck then she gives her to Arlen.
"I going out" said Sadashi to Arlen
"Okay! where are you going ?" said Arlen
"To catch a fish trying to call predator," said Sadashi with smile yet not a smile
*few meters away from village*
in mid of forest, Sadashi appears front of the lone figure with a playful smile.
Seeing Sadashi figure takes five thumbs sized daggers from coak and throws to Sadashi then starts to cast a spell around her.
But Sadashi grabs five daggers between her fingers and throws back to a figure. A figure with coak tried to target Sadashi but all of the spells miss her because her weird movement that she looks like skating on the ground without lifting her leg.
"Stop," said a figure with coak when Sadashi about to punch reach a figure.
"Let''s make a deal" said figure
"So how is our third elder Connall Thond want from me?" said Sadashi sarcastically
"How did you know ?" asks figure takes the coak shows a young elven woman with light green hair.
"From way you using mana when castings on a boulder. When you about to cast on boulder you intentionally dispersed mana before it reached your core that leads you to exhaust your body by force and increasing your heart rate. I say it is pretty impressive but I know except for mana exhaustion or forced stop there no way to after the first cast takes a toll on the body. Also..." in a mid way, Sadashi intentionally stops her speech.
A few seconds later Sadashi points her heart said"Your heartbeat rate when Arlen successfully persuades people " then she faintly smiles like a fox under the faint light of the forest she looks very enchanting.
But to Thond she looks like a hungry predator with her shining red-gray eyes.
Thond body starts to shake asks"Why not a Zoar ? h-his face changed when he seeing Arlen successfully persuades people, "
"Haha well his was bit private thing," said Sadashi with mischievous smile
*inside Zaor''s house at that moment*
"AAAARGH" Zaor screams while takes his dump with small tear on his eye suddenly blood starts to bust off from his ass
"AAAh wife wife help me" screams Zaor to his wife
"Honey why don''t you just ask from head to heal your hemorrhoids ?" said his wife while casting lesser heal on her husband''s ass
"Do you think proud elven like me plead Arlen to heal my ass? hell no" said Zaor with a proud expression
"Ah shit up you idiot" while saying that his wife shakes her head to her husband
*back to forest*
"You can''t beat the incoming human''s force even it is the weakest kingdom they still have few war golems so how about you let me go and I say them to let me and you alive okay ?" said Thond tries to scare Sadashi
After long thought, Sadashi said "Okay" and shakes hand with her and Thond went to human''s direction. But she doesn''t know after she exits the forest Sadashi watching her direction with ice-cold expression.
*Time skip: Five hours later*
Thond arrives front of town gate and after saying her purpose she invites to fat noble''s house. When she walking towards noble''s room.
On her way, Thond laugh at Sadashi when she remembers their talk and mocks her "Haha that idiot does she really think she will survive? her whole body is ingredient"
But that didn''t last long suddenly she hears weird sound
*Ziing*Zing*Ziiiiing*Ziiing*Ziiiing*
her head starts to hurt very hard and she holds her head due pain suddenly
*Bang*
With sound Thong''s head bust apart and her headless body drops to the ground.

Chapter 12, Battle start/Edited/
*The next morning*
Arlen wakes up and finds Sadashi and her butler Sebastian missing and gets up to look for them, but before he leaves a house to search for her he remembers Sadashi''s words.
"If you don''t find me in morning that means I am training around at a place where I won¡¯t be disturbed."
Deciding not to bother her, he goes in the direction of a former dwarven mine that they had reopened yesterday.
When Arlen approaches the dwarven mine he hears the sound of something hitting the a boulder. A few minutes later he sees Sadashi hitting the boulder like she did yesterday.
But this time was little different. First, she takes a powerful step in like yesterday but this time it wasn¡¯t followed by shoulder, but rather, the palm.
*pang*
Right after her palm lands on boulder, Sadashi immediately takes very small step to get closer to it. Then she once again takes powerful step while placing her palms little above her knee.
*Pang!*
At that moment,the distance between her and the boulder was almost non-existent. Immediately Sadashi lowers her arm, then she slightly lowers her whole body while pointing her shoulder at boulder then hitting it like a spring.
*BANG!*
With force, Sadashi sends the boulder a few centimeters away.Just from imagining the three combo hits landing on a normal opponent, Arlen was afraid of something even scarier than that. Even worse, Sadashi executed this combo in the time it took to take one breath.
Before Arlen can call her, Sadashi starts do her training again.
*1 hour later*
Arlen calls Sadashi while she takes a break.
"Sorry for interrupting your training, but I need to talk about the defense and news from the scouts."
"Okay, after this spar," Sadashi says while Across from her, Sebastian takes a defensive horse stance, lowering himself closer to the ground and anchoring his feet to the stone of the mine.
Sadashi takes very different stance than the one she used before. Both of her hands were relaxed with her left hand in front of her throat and her right hand in front of her stomach. Her legs were not facing to Sebastian''s direction but to outward. With a very calm expression she faces Sebastian.
Immediately Sebastian casts two fireballs and sends them in Sadashi''s direction while enhancing his body and rushing behind fireballs he sent.
With a calm expression, Sadashi dodges the first fireball and flicks the second fireball away with a the hand around her stomach.Sebastian appears from behind them and sends a punch but Sadashi quickly moves forward and blocks his vision with her front hand.
Quickly, Sebastian reacts and tries to step back but he was too late. Sadashi holds his arm then twists lightly, and without any other choice, Sebastian follows the direction of Sadashi¡¯s hand to prevent her from breaking his arm.
Not giving up, Sebastian tries to send a kick to her, but Sadashi grabs his ankle and with little bit of force Sebastian hits the ground after doing a full flip in the air.
For a moment Sebastian tries to stand up but he then felt Sadashi''s hand around his throat.If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
"As expected, master. I give up," Says Sebastian, raising his hand.
"You are getting better, but it¡¯s still not enough," says Sadashi with smile.
Sadashi faces Arlen and says, "Let''s go."
*Elf village hall*
"Here is a full map of this forest,"the scout says while handing a map to Sadashi.
After observing the map Sadashi asks, "Is there a way to ask for reinforcements?"
"Sorry, we sent messenger but the closest military force will only arrive after three days, but Slara''s force will arrive in two days," says Khiral.
"Okay, have any humans entered this forest?" asks Sadashi.
"No, they only arrived at the entrance"Says the fourth elder.
"That¡¯s good. Are there any earth element users?" says Sadashi.
"I can, but I can only throw spears and create mud,"the fifth elder answers.
"Good."
Then Sadashi start to talk about her strategy.
*A few hours later.*
With some hesitation, Second Elder Zaor agrees to Sadashi''s idea with some blackmail.
After leaving hall Sadashi asks Arlen about war golems
"A war golem is a weapon that humans and dwarfs used in last great war used as the backbone of their army. They don''t feel pain or fear death, they just follow the user¡¯s commands without any hesitation, but after that the war dwarfs just disappeared along with their technology .Now only the most core and important humans have knowledge of how to build them. The number of war golems a kingdom can have depends on total number of civilians and its power. The Slara Kingdom now we are facing is the lowest ranked kingdom, but it is still kingdom so they may have three or four low tier war golems" Explains Arlen.
"Them how powerful is that low tier war golem?" Asks Sadashi.
"I don''t know but I think it is about as powerful as a normal C rank monster." Answers Arlen.
After giving thanks to Arlen, Sadashi went to her place and pours the ¡®Tears of the Moon¡¯ wine in her cup and then drinks with a happy expression.
After finishing the cup she calls Carrie.
"What is it Guardian?" asks Carrie while holding a clay golem that Arlen made.
With a smile Sadashi pours liquid from her second gourd to her cup then bites her finger and drops some blood on that cup. When blood mixes with the liquid, it shines in a faint light. Then Sadashi''s hand starts to shine in the faint blue light are and absorbed into the cup.
Sadashi hears a message tone.
| Drink of Spirit |
|
Special drink made from natural energy and diluted guardian''s blood. It can heal external and internal wounds slowly and can also slowly restore nature energy for half a day.
|
"Here drink this. It will help you," Sadashi says, giving the cup to Carrie.
Carrie sees the clear silvery liquid and with smile she slowly drinks it without hesitation. After she finishes the drink her pale skin recovers its blush and Carrie felt very warm.
"Thank you miss Guardian," says Carrie with a full smile.
"It is okay, now go to sleep it is night time," Sadashi says, sending Carrie to her bed and continuing her meditation.
*The next day*
An army of soldiers stand in formation with two 2.5 meter tall humanoid war golems equipped with hammers and shields. The fat noble felt so proud that his king lent him a two of the kingdom¡¯s war golem with 250 soldiers.
When they reach the front of a forest he notices there is a tall elven woman with white and black hair standing front of his force.
After he finishes his observation he licks his lips and said, "You, the demi-human. If you serve me, I will let you live," With a perverted expression.
"So are you marching into this forest to plunder and kill innocent lives?" Asks the woman.
"Haha Yes, you idiot, so if you willing to serve me I will let you live. How about that?" He says while laughing along with his soldiers at this crazy looking elven woman.
"So you prepared to also die?" again woman asks.
"Enough your idiotic chat Yes or NO!" the armored noble angrily shouts.
"Yeah, that¡¯s enough." Four orbs of blue, red, brown and green start to circle around the elf. Then elf begins absorbing energy from the brown orb and her body starts to shine.
A few seconds later she touches the ground with her two hands while saying, ¡°Second Beast Way, Roar of the White Tiger.¡±
Suddenly ground shakes then and a long earth wall rises from the ground in front of the forest.
"What the F-" before the soldier finishes his sentence, a tall elf appears front of him and throws him toward the other soldiers while breaking the necks of the soldiers beside him, then punching another soldier so powerfully that the soldier''s entire head disappears.
"If you want to kill then also prepared to be a killed," says the elf while pointing one hand to human force and moving her finger saying, "Come at me."
Chapter 13, Pain train
Before the soldiers realized what happened in their ranks, they began to get hit by arrows coming from the forest.
The commander recovers from his shock and quickly gave the order to focus on the ambush from the forest while ignoring Sadashi because he thought a small force of elves was attacking.
The commander ordered 1 of the 5 forces to Sadashi''s side and the others began to form a simple formation to fight against the elves.
As for the noble, he cowered behind two low-tiers golems while screaming "I have an edict from the emperor to kill anyone who tries to dessert!"
Sadashi blocked an incoming sword with the back of her hand while dodging another attack coming from behind her with a side step.
When Sadashi suddenly appears appeared from behind the back on of a soldier, the others stopped their attack because she used their ally as a shield.
It was Sadashi''s first time fighting in a big battlefield. During her time in the dungeon, she fought to protect her own life, but this time, she was fighting to protect other people¡¯s lives as well as taking the enemy¡¯s lives.
She felt like she was put in a mixer along with countless blades. There was no time for distractions because a small moment will cost her life along with the lives of the elves she was protecting. There was no time for her to enhance her body because it will drain her power too quickly, and running out of gas mid-fight is a death sentence for her.
"You f*cker get off me!" A soldier screamed as he tried to move, but Sadashi''s back stuck to his like a glue.Defense against one direction of attack greatly decreased the pressure on her.
With one hand, Sadashi redirected an incoming sword to her left while sending a sharp punch to another soldier''s adam''s apple. She quickly dodges an attack aimed at her head with a crouch while enhancing her leg and doing a leg sweep.
She needs to be quick, precise, and sharp to fight against this many opponents.
Almost all of the soldiers in front of her crashed to the ground with a loud sound while some of them fell on their allies¡¯ weapons as well.
"Sorry I didn''t."
The stabbed soldier dropped to the ground with a confused expression toward his fellow comrade saying sorry with a bloody sword.
Using this chance, Sadashi collected chi in her fist and punched at the chest area of one soldier.
Seeing Sadashi''s fist about to hit the armour he was wearing, the soldier was in ecstasy because thought his armour will save him. But
*Bang!*
With a loud sound, he was sent flying while hitting his allies until he was impaled by one of the weapons they hold. The poor man died a most gruesome death.
For a moment, Sadashi¡¯s vision cleared and she saw soldiers of Slera about to complete their formation. Immediately Sadashi takes spears from dead soldiers and throws them toward the soldiers in formation.
Like a hot knife cutting through butter, the spear pierced through three men before striking a fourth soldier, disturbing the formation.The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
"KILL THAT B*TCH!!"
"But sir, she is using our fellow soldiers as a shield!"
"Then kill him along with that filthy demi!!"screamed the noble, ignoring the commander.
Seeing Sadashi continue killing their allies and using one as a shield, the soldiers of Slera became enraged and two spearmen tried to stab her through her human shield.
However, Sadashi just dodged sideways and poor shield died alone.
With a quick move, she poked out one of spearmen''s eyes and breaks other one''s leg with a kick.
"My eye! She got my eye!"
"AARGH!" the blind soldier began to swing his weapon blindly while screaming in pain.
*Crack!*
With her palm, Sadashi struck the wrist of a soldier swinging a mace towards her with great force. Suddenly she felt pain in her thighs when she saw the soldier with the crushed windpipe stab his sword in her thighs with his last breath.
While ignoring the pain, Sadashi took the mace from the soldier she broke the wrist of and quickly slams it into the head of the screaming soldier, ending his pain. Then she again moves behind one soldier, but this time, like bloodthirsty beasts, they kill the man and attack her.
She immediately crouched and, with a huge swing,crushes the legs of many soldiers. Then she holds one from his broken leg and, ignoring his screams, began rotating him and hitting everyone around her.
Then she threw the corpse towards the army closing in on the wall, breaking their formation.
That moment, the commander tried to push a company of soldiers to a wall and try to go around it, but only thing waited for them was muddy ground and a tight spear formation backed with archers in the trees, turning battle into a stalemate.
He really hated the noble that was cowering behind the golems as, if he sent a war golem with the vanguard instead of using his personal bodyguards, this kind of thing wouldn¡¯t happen. He was also angry at himself for not bringing archers or mages and thinking golems were enough.
"Please lord we need to send in the war golems, the soldiers can''t handle any more casualties from the weird elf and elven archers!" pleaded the commander.
But the idiot noble barked at him, "No! My life is too important if we are to meet his highness."
"Then at least command one of your golems to attack that wall so soldiers can ent-"
*BANG!* With a loud sound, one wangled corpse of a soldier hits the ground front of noble and commander.
Then, the two saw Sadashi fighting the soldiers while completely ignoring their attacks with her reinforced body with chi. Swords and spears that hit her body left wounds but they were not very deep. Every time she received damage, she killed the attacker at the same time.
She needed to take out or call the war golem towards herself to ensure that Sebastian can land the killing blow in the middle of the crowd without hurting the elven guards.
Being doused in gallons of the human soldier¡¯s blood along with her own gives Sadashi very scary look.
"Kill her Kill HER KILL HER" noble commanded one of war golem while shaking in fear.
"No sir, you must destroy wall first."
"SHUT UP YOU PLEBEIAN, DON''T FORGET YOUR MAJESTY CHOSEN ME AS YOUR SUPERIOR !!" Screamed the pig.
Seeing war golem moving towards her, Sadashi knew her plan worked, and she began to control her energy, channeling earth gate and blood flow.
Moments later, her whole body turned completely black. Soldiers tried to attack her but now they couldn¡¯t even leave a scratch on her body even though she didn¡¯t move from her position.
"What is happening to her body?" said a confused soldier.
"Is her leg become thicker? She gonna do something, EVADE!!" one man began to run.
"F*ck I only entered this force for the easy money!"
Suddenly Sadashi dashed towards the war golem with extreme speed while blasting the soldiers around her and crashing towards it.

The technique uses concentrates a large amount of chi and blood to strengthen the legs while using earth gate. This technique pushes the power of the short-range dash to the limit while increasing defence for a few moments, enabling the user to escape or run head first to fight.
Beware failure of technique will lead heart failure or exploding from high blood pressure!

Chapter 14: You cant change the core but you can tweak it/Edited/
Pig noble and the commander were really happy to see the elf that was giving them trouble rushing to the war golem. They couldn''t wait to see her being cut in two by the war golem''s weapon.
With a loud sound, the elf rams into the war golem''s torso at high-speed, staggering it. The golem tries to cut down the elf using its sword, but right before the sword reaches her head the elf moves even closer to the golem while putting the back of her left hand on the golem''s wrist and her right hand on the golem''s elbow.
With one push, she throws a war golem twice her size like nothing.
*BANG!*
With a loud sound, the war golem hits the ground hard but then stands up like nothing happened and continues to attack the elf. But it was no use, as the elf grabs the golem¡¯s sword mid-swing and throws the golem like a rag doll.
"Haha so is this the strongest weapon of the kingdom? Don''t make me laugh. If real knight saw this fight he would be crying in his grave!"
The elf began to laugh at them with a smug expression.
It was true, Sadashi really thought real knight from medieval age would cry if he saw a golem that looks exactly like them fighting like a brain dead idiot; the soldiers weren¡¯t any better. Maybe medieval age martial arts were almost erased from history and only kept the martial arts related to the armoured fighting against lightly-armoured opponents.
But opponents she is fighting are definitely not users of medieval martial arts.
"YOU!! YOU! I was thinking of letting you live but bu-"
Before noble finishes his words the elf looks him then her eye and begins to go lower until she stops on pig''s pants.
"Heh! I bet your thing is smaller than my pinky!" she said while laughing.
Sadashi hated the noble for sending soldiers while he himself hid behind the war golem, and because of her hate she couldn''t help but say a foul word that even she doesn''t know the meaning of. She will not grant him easy death.
"KILL HER CUT OFF ALL OF HER LIMBS AND SHOW HER A BURNING FOREST!" With a face like a red tomato, pig noble gives a command to the two war golems to attack the elf.
The two golems drop their shields and, holding their swords with a two-handed grip, rushes towards the elf. That moment, the commander also gives an order to his men to push into the forest now that there was a chance to change the stalemate between the two forces.
But in the end, soldiers are humans, not dolls without a will. Till now they followed orders from the commander because they still had hope in the war golems, but now seeing their hope being thrown like towel by elf made their morale took a huge amount of damage.If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
*BOOM!*
That moment a fireball appears from nowhere and hits the soldiers gather around a wall, erasing the last bit of their morale.
"I have had enough, I enlisted in this force for easy money, not for my funeral."
"Me too."
"F*ck I wanna live."
One after another they begin to run in every direction, just dominos the others also began to run for their lives.
Commander tries to call the soldiers, "What are you doing GAK!" But in middle of his sentence, he sees a sword sticking from his chest. The moment before he takes his last breath, the commander sees a man wearing the same armour as his soldiers smiling at him and holding a bloody sword.
"THE COMMANDER IS DEAD!!"
Seeing their commander dead on the ground, the morale of the soldiers hits rock bottom and everyone runs for their lives while ignoring the screaming noble.
Elven guards tried to try to give chase but Khiral gives an order to not to chase them because even cornered mice will fight back.
The idiot noble tries to escape but with one well-placed arrow, he drops from his horse with comically.
Seeing the elf walking towards him the noble screams.
"Protect me!"
With his cry, the two war golems try to move towards the noble but Sadashi jumps towards a war golem and, right before her feet reaches the ground, she does one turn and sends a kick towards the golem''s leg.
*BANG!*
With a sound, the first war golem falls to the ground while the second golem also falls by tripping on the first golem''s body.
Immediately the noble tried to scream.
"Sta-"
But the tall elf disappears from his sight and he suddenly felt very sleepy.
When he opens his eyes the fat noble notices he has been stripped of all of his equipment except his underwear and tied to a chair. Then he saw the tall elf front of him observing the war golem control necklace.
Humiliated, the noble forgets he is prisoner and screams, "YOU FILTHY DEMI RELE-"
In the middle of his sentence, the noble felt something cold poke his leg and sees a handsome man wearing normal servant clothes pointing a sword at his leg.
"Don''t talk to my master like that sh*t or I slice of fat meat of yours by layer and layer," he says with a cold smile.
Sebastian began showing his cruel imp part, he even received training and disciple from Sadashi for it.
"So you control them like this huh but I say it is a little bit primitive I say," says Sadashi inspecting the control necklace in her hand. Then she walks closer to the fat noble with a wicked smile like a cheshire cat.
Sadashi put her hands on the fat noble''s cheek and said, "Tell me everything you know."
That moment the noble saw no warmth in the beautiful elf''s eyes. In her snake-like golden eyes, she doesn''t even recognize him as a living being but only as a toy. A toy that she found from a dump.
"I I am a noble if you let me live you can receive a huge sum from the kingdom. Please, I¡¯ll tell you everything, just let me live."
There was no trace of warmth on elf''s hand; the noble really scared of the elf smiling at him.
"I said tell me everything you know," said the elf again.
"Pl~"
*Pierce!*
"AAARGH MY EAR P-please take it out"
Sadashi pierced the noble''s ear with her index finger and said.
"Do you know women don''t like men who say the same thing again and again? Now my index finger is closer to your tympanic membrane, so answer my question again like a good prisoner or next time my finger will pierce your brain!"
