Voooooom…!
Vivian was running across a vast and endless desert under a moonless night sky. The speed she was traveling was only 1/5 of her total Physical Force because she didn't want to destroy her boots. And although she could remove her boots and stockings, and hold them on her left hand and hold the two 3-meter-long black and thorny whips on her right hand, so that she could travel faster, tonight, she wasn't in a hurry.
I really hope there's a lot of aggressive insects at Mount Vald'mir…
Her brows suddenly knitted together.
With her demon eyes that allow her to see the world in black and white, and the living beings in blue or red-colored nervous systems (blue for the ones with Magic Art Affinities and red for the ones without), she could easily and immediately spot any nervous system a couple of miles away.
About 5 miles away, she noticed a blue-colored nervous system flying into the sky and rushing towards her after distancing itself from a group of blue nervous systems.
Vivian suddenly stopped in her tracks and focused on the flying nervous systems headed towards her. And as the nervous system got closer, she was finally able to see its actual shape. It was a humanoid blue colored nervous system riding a Draghorn-shaped blue colored nervous system.
Tch!
She clicked her tongue.
So there are brave idiots like this, huh…
She then noticed another thing. Back at the gathered blue-colored nervous systems, where the humanoid and the Draghorn-shaped nervous systems came from, which was about 5 miles away, there was movement.
Two nervous systems rose to the sky and began heading towards her.
Meanwhile, the rest, she couldn't tell what exactly they were doing because it was too far, but they were definitely moving.
I seriously have no interest in numbers like this, except for when I'm hungry…
By her estimate, there were around 20 or less.
But since they're so eager to feed me, then so be it…
She returned her attention to the first pair of blue nervous systems in the sky that were heading towards her, and they were now about 3 miles away.
Hmm…
So…
How am I going to deal with this…?
A number of possible scenarios flashed inside her head.
Yeah…
That's the only way…
Thud, thud.
She dropped the 2 black thorny whips on her hands to the sand.
My [Nemesis of Beasts] has a range of about 10 meters…
10 meters is about 30 feet…
I can jump way more than that…
I can jump at least 40 feet even without [Power Leg]…
She focused on the other 2 pairs of flying blue nervous systems behind the first flying pair.
The main issue lies with the other 2 pairs…
Once I kill the first pair, they would run away…
Or at least one of them would run away to request for back-up…
I really need [Primordial Beast]…
She nodded.
Yeah…
Fuck my [Dual Whips Mastery]…
I'll deal with it next time…
For now it's [Savage Mastery]…
She let out a sigh.
I'm trying my best to avoid causing massive environmental damages…
Or at least preserve the monsters for emergencies or important events…
But these lower lifeforms just won't give me a break…
Always trying to force my hand by not understanding the fucking food chain…
She shook her head.
The arrogance of these so-called intelligent beings…
[Poison Bomb].
Woooh!
When the first pair reached out 10 meters from where Vivian was standing, the Draghorn immediately threw a spell.
Vooom!
Boo-psssh!
Vivian easily evaded the spell by moving a couple of steps away.
Although she was confident that the spell wouldn't affect her because of her Magic Force and the fact that she was also immune to Poison spells because of her [Master of Poison] Lore, she didn't want the enemies to be aware of it, not just yet, that she even only used 1/5 of her Physical Force to evade it.
Even if they don't land on the ground…
As long as they're all close enough…
The rider of the Draghorn was caught off guard by the sudden attack of his mount that he immediately pulled the reins and ordered it to calm down.
[Poison Storm].
The rider was able to prevent the Draghorn from charging towards Vivian. However, he wasn't able to prevent it from casting another spell.
Pssssssh…!
A 10-meter magic circle appeared above Vivian's head and then started releasing green mist.
Vooom!
Vivian easily evaded the spell by moving dozens of steps away. And as she turned to look at the rider and then Draghorn, to see what would be their next move, her brows knitted together.
[Halo].
A golden ring appeared on the rider's back.
A Priest…?
Although Vivian's demonic eyes were a powerful tool for hunting, they still had their limits. She wasn't able to notice that the rider was actually a Crusader.
The Crusader yanked the reins violently and Draghorn's whole body turned to the left. And when its eyes saw the golden ring, it was caught in a trance.
The [Poison Storm] spell vanished, and the Crusader and the Draghorn landed several feet away from Vivian.
"Who are you?" the Crusader asked in a Twinian accent.
Vivian looked at the other 2 upcoming flying units and then returned her focus to the Crusader in front of her.
So these are Crusaders…
"I will repeat the question: Who are you?"
"YOU SUDDENLY ATTACK ME OUT OF NOWHERE AND YOU HAVE THE GALL TO ASK ME SUCH A QUESTION?!!!"
The Crusader was caught off guard for a moment. Meanwhile, the other 2 flying units finally arrived -- one was a Draghorn, while the other was a Rhonea.
[Fire Lance].
Woooh!
The Draghorn threw a spell at Vivian.
[Dark Lance].
The Rhonea also threw a spell at Vivian.
[Halo].
Wooom!
A golden ring appeared on Vivian's back and she jumped to the Red Draghorn. Although the rider of the Poison Draghorn was a Crusader, the riders of the Red Draghorn and the Black Rhonea were Knights.
"COME TO ME!!!"
All 3 unit pairs obediently followed her order and rushed towards her.
[Mana Claw].
While still in mid-air, a huge demonic hand and arm made out of blue mana, proportionate to a 15-meter-tall being, appeared on Vivian's left arm.
[Mana Claw].
Ba-riiip…!
The Knight and the Red Draghorn turned into red mist.
[Mana Claw].
Ba-riiip…!
The Knight and the Black Rhonea Draghorn also turned into red mist.
[Mana Claw].
Ba-riiip…!
The Crusader and the Poison Draghorn shared the same ending.
Thud!
Vivian landed on the ground and deactivated her Mana Claw weapon, but still kept her [Halo].
Vooom!
In the blink of an eye, she removed her boots and stockings, placed her stockings inside her boots, and then placed the boots down.
"You fucking lower lifeform insects want to play?! Okay, let's play!"
Vooo-craaag!
She rushed towards the direction of where the camp of the remaining blue-colored nervous systems was located using her full speed.
***
A Knight in his late 20s, holding what looked like a telescope, placed his telescope down and turned to the rest. There were 4 Crusaders and 8 Knights remaining, all of whom were between their late 20s and early 40s.
"LIGHT UP A RED FLARE!"
Booom!
A Knight in his early 30s took out a flare and then shot it into the sky.
A Crusader in his early 30s went over to the Knight with the telescope.
"What happened to Brother Captain Morgan?"
"They're all down."
Hearing what he said, everyone nearby was shocked.
Earlier, while some of their companions were on night watch, one of the Knights, who was wearing a Magic Item with the Vision Magic Effect, said that he was seeing a strange dust storm in the distance.
If a dust storm were indeed coming, they would have to alert everyone and also properly store their food and drinks.
However, when one of the Knights with a telescope checked on it to verify it, he noticed that the so-called "duststorm" was a bit strange. Instead of moving like a normal duststorm, it was too small, too thin, and forming horizontally, from right to left and wasn't moving forward. He then decided to focus with his Magic Force to see what was at the right edge while using his telescope. It turned out that source of the duststorm was due to a white-cloaked figure running at the Grade-speed of around Orichalcum.
Upon learning about this, everyone was confused. However, there was one Crusader, Priest Captain Morgan, who volunteered to check it. And before the others could even make a decision, he already borrowed a Draghorn and flew towards the person creating the duststorm.
As for the reason why they were here, they were actually in a Field Mission -- Field Mission for Crusaders and Chapter Mission for Knights.
Back in the month of Septus, at the Mobius Mountains, a Rogue Settlement was attacked. And based on the investigation of a Holy Crusade Squad led by a Brother Inquisitor named Croissant, the suspect was a powerful demon that could reach between 15-20 meters in height, based on the footprints.
And then last month, the Second Stanza Western Barracks was completely destroyed by another powerful demon that could reach more than 30 meters in height, again, based on the footprints.
Even up to now, it still wasn't sure if the crime was committed by the same demon. For starters, a Lesser Demon's height was only 3 meters and it could reach 6 meters with [Lesser Chaos Enchant]. Meanwhile, a Demon's height was 6 meters and it could reach 18 meters with [Chaos Enchant]. So the idea that there was a demon that could reach more than 30 meters already seemed unbelievable. However, no matter how much twisting and turning they did, the evidence was there. So they were here to catch any suspicious groups and ask them for information regarding the demon.
Of course, they aren't the only ones on such a Field or Chapter Mission. There are other people, Squads and Platoons doing the same thing at other places.
A Knight Major in his early 40s, the oldest person in the group, stepped forward and looked at everyone.
"Prepare for --"
Booom!
Before he could even finish what he said, he turned into red mist. And standing a few feet away from where he stood was a White Cloak Priestess Inquisitor with a golden ring on her back and her entire body covered with tiny red stains.
The Crusaders and Knights, especially the Crusaders, were still trying to process their confusion when the light in their eyes suddenly dimmed and they were trapped in a semi-trance state.
"Stay in your place!" Vivian commanded.
Vooom!
She appeared in front of the closest person, a Knight.
[Explosive Fist].
Booom!
He turned into red mist.
Vooom!
She appeared in front of the next person, a Crusader.
Booom!
He, too, turned into mist.
The remaining Crusaders and Knights snapped out of the trance but were still half-affected by it.
Vooom!
Ba-riiip!
As they prepared their skills and spells, Vivian appeared in front of another Knight and already delivered a flying kick to his head. The force was so great that his helmet and head were sliced off horizontally.
Tang!
The top half landed on a female Crusader's body.
Vooom!
Before the female Crusader could even process what had just struck her, Vivian already appeared in front of her.
[Explosive Fist].
Booom!
She turned into red mist.
"Stay down!" she commanded once again.
The charm effect of [Halo] washed over the remaining people once again. All of them followed the command, but only half of them completely followed through, while the others managed to stop halfway.
However, it was already still too late.
Vooom!
Vivian appeared in front of the next person.
[Explosive Fist].
Booom!
Vooom!
She appeared in front of another person.
[Explosive Fist].
Booom!
She appeared to the next person.
Vooom!
[Explosive Fist].
Booom!
Considering her AGI, which was 12 (+517), even just a 1-second delay was enough that she could take out 3 people.
"I said stand down!" she commanded once more.
Vooom!
[Explosive Fist].
Booom!
***
A couple of seconds later…
[Explosive Fist].
Booom!
Vivian destroyed the last corpse and then flipped her mask up.
Spit!
"Lower lifeform insects who think they own this land and could question anyone they want!"
She flipped her mask back down and then looked at the red flare above her.
I was too late…
She crouched down into a proper squat.
[Power Leg].
Wooom!
[Mana Fist].
CHUD.
Once she reached mid-air, a giant demonic arm and fist made out of blue mana that was appropriate for a 15-meter-tall being appeared on her right arm, and she grabbed the flare.
Thud.
When she landed back to the ground, she released the flare.
[Power Fist].
BA-RIIIP…!
She raised her giant Mana Fist and then slammed it in a hammer fist strike, destroying the flare.
Vooom!
In the blink of an eye, she was naked and she had all of her clothes wrapped with her blood-stained White Cloak.
[Greater Origin Transformation].
Blaaak!
She transformed into a 3-meter-tall Lesser Demon, and then her eyes immediately surveyed her entire surroundings.
There were a couple of tiny blue dots in the distance.
4 flying blueies coming from the southeast…
Another 4 flying blueies coming from the east…
Some of her eyes shifted to the Crusaders and Knights she just killed, or whatever was left of their bodies.
All True Death…
No witnesses…
Vooom!
She turned into a blur using her full speed to pick up her boots and her whips.
***
Mount Vald'mir.
Voooooom…!
Vivian entered an entrance of a cave and then stopped when she found herself with 4 tunnels.
I have no idea where am I right now…
But I need a quick level up…
She heard some screeching and crawling noises coming from one of the tunnels.
There…!
Thud, thud, thud…!
She jogged into the tunnel and saw hundreds of bat-like, spider-like and lizard-like red-colored nervous systems heading her way.
Ba-craaag!
She slapped away a protruding rock from the ceiling that was blocking her way.
Too little…!
She paid no attention to the nervous systems flying and jumping towards her, crawling all over her body, and attacking her as she went in deeper.
When she finally reached the end of the tunnel, she found herself in small cavern that had 3 tunnel, outside the one she came from, with one of them too small for her 3-meter-tall Lesser Demon stature.
Vooom!
She created a few meter distance between herself and the swarm of nervous systems chasing after her.
[Greater Origin Transformation].
Blaaak!
Both of her second arms at that bottom from her ribs transformed into a size that's befitting for a 10-meter-tall being.
PAAAH...!!!
She clapped her giant hands together against that swarm, killing not only hundreds, but also producing a powerful soundwave that blew the remaining or surviving nervous systems away and echoed through the whole tunnel.
Oh…
That was a very stupid move…
[Greater Origin Transformation].
Her giants arms reverted back to their normal sizes.
Thud, thud, thud!
And then she jogged into another pathway that she chose randomly.
I need more and faster before their back-up arrives…!
