Somewhere South of the Dark Forest, a handsome man was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and beside him was a beautiful woman who was trying to wake him up from being unconscious.
"Haha! Now it's your turned woman." The leader of the enemy mockingly laughed towards the crying Rae Gu.
Wiping her tears, Rae Gu picked up the sword and stood up in between the assassins and Huang Ryu. She gripped the sword tightly and pointed it towards the enemies.
"You wanna fight woman?" The Leader smirked and waved his left hand to command one of his men to play with Rae Gu.
"Let me." One of the fire wielder with a burnt scar on his neck stepped forward and looked towards the corpse of his brother who were killed by Huang Ryu. "Don't worry little brother, I'll definitely avenge you and bury them with you."
Gathering the fire elemental force from the surroundings, he mustered it into three fireballs and hatefully attacked Rae Gu.
Rae Gu who was on guard, avoided the attacks nimbly and agilely while stepping further away from Huang Ryu to prevent him from being accidentally hit by a strayed attack of the assassin.
"So, you know martial arts ah?" The scarred man scornfully smiled and amassed another ten fireballs.
While the scarred man was busy gathering his elemental force. Rae Gu tore her skirt off from the middle part of her thighs down to her toes for it was restricting her movements, and found a thin branch from a tree on the ground to tie up her hair into a bun so it won't get in her way when she fought.
Her milk white flawless legs was now exposed and shocked the assailants, as they never thought that Rae Gu would be so bold to show off a skin during a fight.
There gazed was locked upon her long legs and gulped like a hungry savage wolf looking at a prey.
Unaffected by their lustful gaze, Rae Gu stared at the scarred man waiting for his attacks.
"Tsk!" The scarred man clicked his tongue unaffected by the view, given that his revenge was more stronger than his lust. He only had one brother and now was actually killed by the desperate counter from Huang Ryu earlier.
This time he attack Rae Gu simultaneously from all directions.
Seeing this scene, Rae Gu still confidently stood upright without retreating. She knows her own limits, and this was just a tiny part of her training program from her uncle since childhood.
Her uncle never showed Rae Gu even a shred of compassion when he was cultivating her into a fighter and just trained her rigorously, so this caused her to developed a stubborn and unyielding personality.
At present, it was only the scarred man who was relentlessly attacking her while the others just stood at the side waiting for their fight to finish.
As they had underestimated her, it gave her the advantage to concentrate herself on fighting against the scarred man and so she was absolutely certain on winning on this fight despite him attacking from the distance.
The barrage of attacks from the scarred man was deftly eluded by Rae Gu. She bolted from left to right with unpredictable movement and shiftingly moved her steps faster while advancing towards the scarred man until there was only a meter of distance between them.
The scarred man was dumbfounded to see her used a peculiar martial arts in shunning his fire balls. He couldn't even see her movements clearly until she was steadily standing in front of him.
He looked at her tauntingly smug looking face and his expression changed when a cold and sharp object pierced through his chest without warning.
"You're finished." Rae Gu curve her lips wickedly upon seeing him in dazed and without hesitation she stab him right on his chest with the sword, aiming for his heart for a sure kill.
Pulling the sword out from his chest. The scarred man's body fell on the ground with his eyes wide-opened. He never would have thought that his end was unexpectedly cause by this frail looking woman.
Rae Gu's eyes turned red and her hands slightly trembled but she still held the sword tightly, for she was afraid of dropping her only weapon for staying alive.
It was her first time killing someone, given that she was used to saving lives as a doctor.
Until just now, killing someone was out of her expectations and Rae Gu was used to soiling her hands with blood by saving a life and not taking it. This had cause a ripple in her heart, and a feeling of remorse creeped out from her mind but she clasped her hands steadier in her weapon to calm herself.
In this kind of situation were you need to kill or just be killed by your opponent, Rae Gu chose to kill as she valued her life and still wanted to live, even if it was living in this kind of unfamiliar world.
Since then, having no other option for survival, Rae Gu's hardened her resolved in murdering a person.
Rae Gu took a side glimpse on Huang Ryu spot and sighed with relief after seeing him unscathed. It was now her turned to protect him, so no matter what happens, she will do her best to fight for their survival.
The assassins stood flabbergasted,
it never entered their mind that this fragile looking woman could fight, and surprisingly killed one of their best fighter.
The leader scrunched his brows as he looked at the dead body of his subordinate before turning his eyes to Rae Gu. "I never thought that you could fight. Seems like i have underestimated you."
Rae Gu heart thumped, afraid that they might attacked her en masse. She gritted her teeth and showed a shallow smile to hide her real emotions and arrogantly said, "You all manges were just too weak. Now, who's next?"
Looking at them aggressively, she pointed the sword at the leader as showing her will to fight, before she took another side glance at Huang Ryu's position.
And if by chance Huang Ryu would be hit from their clashes, it might cause him to die, so she must heed a plan to lead them away from this place as she couldn't afford to take any mistakes.
The leader was enraged by her words and looked at her viciously. "Attack her and bring her head to me."
[Shit! What am i going to do now.] Her mind was now shouting for help,but still Rae Gu pretended to be calm up front as she wanted to stall for more time, because there might be some of Huang Ryu's subordinates who were on their way here and she wanted to take a gamble on it.
But since the assasins were now ready for a kill, Rae Gu could only smile wryly and thought of staying alive until a help could come.
Five of the assassins attack her simultaneously. A vine attacked her from both her sides and an ice spike that was hovering in the air, shoot at her from different directions but it was evaded easily by her.
The assassins repeatedly attack Rae Gu. However, Rae Gu skillfully took a sidestep escaping from their attacks.
Later on, as her left foot stepped on the ground, the soil suddenly turned soft and engulfed it.
Rae Gu tried to removed her foot that was burried under the ground, but before she could do so, the soil hardened and locked her in place.
Trapped in place, Rae Gu was immobile and could not dodged the upcoming attacks anymore, so she closed her eyes and resigned to her fate.
[Guess this is the end. Uncle, I hope for you to stay healthy. Don't miss me too much, alright?] A dropped of tear escape from her right eye, as she thought about her uncle.
An ice spike was about to hit her, but suddenly a golden light enshrouded her body and protected her from all the attacks.
"Let me." A man's ethereal voice unexpectedly sounded in her mind and the big hand with a golden light touched her hand that was holding her sword.
A transparent image of a handsome man formed from the golden light on her back and guided her hand by raising the sword in the air and amassed a force.
The wind together with a sparked of electricity was swirling at the tip of the sword forming a sphere. It got bigger and become more violent, as the wind at the surroundings was suck up into it.
Leaves of the trees were swaying with the directions of the gale.
Rae Gu was astounded after looking at the elemental force that was hovering at the tip of the sword. She was staring up at the sword as it was forming some kind of spherical force sucking the wind from all of the surroundings.
"Now,it's time to attacked." The ethereal voice stated and guided her hand to wave the sword forward to her enemies with a force.
