Noticing that her sister is still outside, Melinda got curious and because she was also too bored, want to step outside, but then she suddenly heard a beast howl and she shivered uncontrollably and her legs almost give up. Being a young lady in a Noble Clan, Melinda never really have encounter or heard a beast howl, she only knows them when she read some books about them. And now that they might encounter this beast, Melinda was scared to death.
Outside the carriage when they heard this beast howl all the guards quickly went into position and made a human barricade sorrounding the carriage.
"Young Lady quick get back inside the carriage" urge hurriedly by Captain Williams. Maria then break her gaze from the man and after hearing Captain Williams and remembering her sister was still in the carriage she hurriedly went back and found Melinda shivering to the side. Seeing her sister like this, Maria then quickly hug Melinda and softly said that it'll be alright.
Seeing that the beautiful mature woman went back the carriage, Nezu then came back to himself and notice that the sorrounding was strange and found that they are already sorrounded by beast. Facing this sudden development, Nezu still calm despite everything. 'Hmm what a good timing, this way I can practice my EP(Elemental Power) and see if Destruction Element is indeed destructive enough when it comes to beast.' Since Nezu only tried the Destruction Element in trees, he needs to fight some beast to confirm if his element is also strong againts it.
'Hmm I also should try fighting with a human that can use Elemental Power and see the difference between elements, and also to get use myself fighting them.' Nezu already thinking other things while the beast sorrounding them.
Noticing that the guards are all ready to fight, Nezu came towards Captain Williams.
Seeing that this strange kid coming towards him, Williams immidiately gets tense since he still doesn't know who this kid was.
Smiling, Nezu said, "Yo, can I borrow a Sword? Looking at our situation another help is better than nothing, right?" explained Nezu, since he was still basically a stranger to them, he needs to have a proper excuse so that they could trust him a little.
Even though Williams doesn't want to lend this kid a sword, he doesn't have any other choice since they were in dire situations he needs all the help he can get even if this kid doesn't know how to use a sword. Unsheating his extra sword that his horse was carrying for emergencies, Williams throw the sword to Nezu and sternly said, "You can just do whatever you want but don't get in our way" then totally ignored Nezu and put his focus in the beast that coming towards them, since they are already sorrounded, it's already late to escape and only fight their way out.
*swish* *swish*
After catching the sword, Nezu then started swinging and familiarzing himself with this double-edge sword.
'This sword is so badly made that it won't last a minute if I coated this with Destructive Element' shaking his head in disappointment, Nezu then began thinking how he can find a sword that could also handle his Destructive Element.
While Nezu still swinging his sword, a beast that was hiding behind a big bush suddenly pounce behind Nezu. Because the guards are already on high alert, any sudden movement will be notice, and seeing that a big wolf like beast already pouncing, the guards wanted to notify Nezu but it's already too late as the wolf like beast already opening it's big jaw and wanted to swallow Nezu whole.
Not caring about the pouncing big wolf like beast, Nezu still swinging his sword and after being satisfied with it nodded with a smile then vanish.
*bite*
Noticing that he seemed to be not tasting anything, the beast find that the human he targets was gone, not panicking about this strange situation, the beast suddenly feel danger behind him and trusting his intincts he quickly swipe his claw behind.
*ting*
Claw and Sword clash and Nezu take several steps back while the beast stays on it's ground.
Ever since he arrived in this world and control his element, the Destruction Element have been strengthening his body, but since it's only been like a few hours since he was here it's still not comparable to this beast.
'A beast is a beast indeed with that instincts and powerful body it's too troublesome to fight it head on.' thought Nezu while stretching his slightly numb arm after that clash.
While the beast and Nezu was facing off, the sorrounding guards was dumbfounded with the clash, since they are local in this world they know much more about beast than Nezu. The wolf like beast was as powerful as low intermediate Rank Elementalist. In this world Elementalist were divided by rank which was Beginner, Intermediate, Advance, Master, Grandmaster and Sage. And every ranks are still divided into stages which are Low, Mid, Late and Peak stages.
Since it's already too hard to rank further, just being at peak beginner is enough to be respected. For example this guards are just Peak Beginner Rank Elementalist but they can only be guards in a Noble Clans and that was already the basic requirement. The only Low Intermediate Rank Elementalist in these group of guards was Captain Williams. But even Williams would have a hard time fighting that beast head on since it's much more powerful than a human with same rank.
They didn't expect to encounter such monster in the road so they didn't waste much manpower escorting this carriage and only put one Low Intermediate Rank Elementalist. Since the kingdom was chaotic right now, the Clan didn't want to send much stronger Elementalist and just assigned an Intermediate Rank Elementalist, also the fact that this should be a secret and if their experts suddenly disappear other clans would be suspicious and that would spell trouble.
Now seeing that someone actually fight head on with a Low Intermediate Rank beast they were naturally speechless since this man look thin and weak but under it was so much power.
"Damn I didn't even see how he fucking appear behind that beast" Said fodder guard 1.
"But the beast is still stronger than that kid" Said fodder Guard 2
Yes, the beast was still stronger than Nezu, since even though Nezu have the PEPCA(Perfect Elemental Power Control Ability) he just arrive in this fucking world so he was still unfamiliar fighting using Elemental Power.
But before the guards continue their conversation, beast appear all around and pounce on them without warning and fodder Guard 1 head's was bit off by another wolf but only in Peak Beginner Rank in strength.
Seeing their comrade died a terrible death the guards bonded together and fight back to back.
Noticing that the other side also started to fight, Nezu then rush at the wolf.
Seeing that the human charging at him, the beast also started charging. Then putting a little bit of Elemental Power on his legs, Nezu then jump up evading the wolf charge, seeing the open back of the wolf, Nezu raise his sword pointing at the wolf and coated it with a very little Destruction Element since the sword may break if too much DE was use.
With the help of PEPCA he control his Elemental Power in his feet and while still in mid-air he bent his legs and just like he was stepping on land he strongly propel himself towards the wolf.
*woosh*
Like a sound of wind being cut, Nezu rapidly approach the wolf and stab the back till only half of the sword's blade could be seen. With a howl of pain the wolf madly swipe his claws around.
Seeing that he can't dodge it he can only make his arms defend and forming a defensive X stance.
*thud* *swoosh*
*BANG*
Flying through a towering tree, Nezu crash with it and a small crater form behind him, Nezu grunted in pain and slid down from the tree and on his knees since that attack was so fucking painful.
'Haa I really need to get familiar about the strength in this world' Nezu reminded himself while relaxing his breathing.
If Destruction Element didn't strengthen his body a little before, his arms would be a bloody pulp right now.
Calming himself he saw that the wolf recovered slightly from the attack and it madly charge at him again.
The wolf howl angrily and some wind like element started forming around the wolf making it more powerful. Seeing that there is no other choice but to take this attack head on, Nezu focus his Elemental Power and coated his fist with it and power it up. Since his fist is not strong and sturdy enough to handle too much Destruction Element, he only use it's power to a passable level but still stronger than when he coated it with the sword he used before.
With an exhale he calmed himself and with a powerful dash he rush at the wolf rapidly.
*woosh*
Raising his arm, Nezu pulled back his arm and aim directly between the wolf's head.
"Ahhhh" Nezu strongly shouted and use all his strength to punch.
"Awoo" the beast also didn't want to lose to a puny human so with a strong howl for the last time it quicky rush at Nezu with it's remaining strength.
*BOOOOOOOM*
