Mady stood up with glowing eyes. She was currently in a forest. She began to rush forward quickly. The whole forest was covered with elves. Attacks with arrows, knives, needles, thorns and similar small weapons were coming from the constant darkness. Mady quickly discovered her targets and kept moving forward, killing them quickly. She didn't stop for a moment. As far as eyes could see the elves were all over her.
About ten minutes later, after killing more than two-hundred soul formation the seventh level elves, the soul formation eighth level elves started to appear. Mady wasn't going in the direction they were crowded. She moved forward, always moving towards the least part. About half an hour later she killed the elves in all areas in the forest except where they were gathered. The remaining elves took a defensive position. Mady was looking at the temple where the elves were gathering from afar.
There were more than five-hundred bodies in the forest. After resting for a few minutes, she moved quickly again and started sending arrows to the 70 people of eight and ninth levels. After a few hours, only five soul formation ninth level enemies remained. Mady quickly came over and killed the two of them with her arrows, then turned her bow into daggers and defended the attacks with 2 daggers and attacked again and killed the last five people, she was at the entrance of the temple.
As Mady moved calmly, she suddenly felt a strong pressure. When Mady came before her enemy, who had formed a soul core, her eyes shined and drew her arrow and carried out the attack. Her enemy retreated into the darkness and her arrow hit nothing. Mady suddenly felt a knife attack coming from behind. With a sudden movement, the bow split in half and defended with one of the daggers and attacked with the other.
Mady's 'soul core first level' opponent smiled and tried to defend himself with the knife in his other hand, but Mady's weapon and her arms were too strong. Her core-level enemy tumbled down and was dragged five meters on the ground on his back. He somersaulted on the ground, stood up and swung his dagger. At that moment, Mady's arrow touched the dagger. Meanwhile, at an unexpected moment, an arrow was heading towards Mady's heart. The arrow was too close when Mady noticed. She just tried to stand aside, and the arrow scraped her heart with a few centimeters and plunged into her back.
Mady started going backwards in panic. At that time, Mady noticed that her second enemy in the soul core first level was also looking at her as if she was a prey. Mady turned her bow into two daggers.
Blood came from her mouth, as the arrow entered her liver. With the energy cycle, she bypassed and closed injured acupoints area around her liver. Without using the acupuncture point passing through the liver, her energy loss was around twenty percent. Mady tried to get calm, took a deep breath and looked at her opponent. The other opponent could not defend with his dagger at the last moment and he was hit through his dantan by the arrow.
She now only had one enemy with bow and arrow. She was injured. When her enemy saw that Mady was not moving forward, he smiled and licked his dry lips with his tongue. Again, he put another arrow and stretched his bow. No matter how much Mady defended, there was no problem as long as she did not come upon him in her injured state. He could keep hitting Mady hundreds of times like hitting the practice board.
When Mady saw the enemy stretching his bow, she bent her knees slightly forward. The moment the arrow took off, Mady jumped. There was very little time between Mady's thinking speed and her reflexes. There was a speed difference of almost ten times between the enemy's arrow and Mady's reflexes. Mady threw herself forward, calculating the angle of the arrow in the air, attaching her daggers and firing an energy arrow. Mady's arrow was in front of him while the enemy was trying to shoot the second arrow. The first arrow of enemy missed her as well.
When the last elf defended the arrow, he saw Mady attacking him with the dagger on his right. Just as he was about to block, Mady's dagger in her other hand stuck strongly into the elf's left shoulder. When the elf lost his balance slightly, Mady this time wounded the elf in the chest with her dagger on her left hand.
The Elf wanted to take a step back and disappear with his darkness-force energy, but since the knife on his shoulder was attached to Mady's soul, Mady pulled him out of his hiding place with the spiritual power she formed with her dagger in her right hand. While the elf was defending his left side with the dagger in his right hand, Mady cut off the right arm of the elf with the dagger in her left hand from the gap she found. Mady stepped forward and turned around like a most beautiful bird, turning the energy arrow towards the elf's top and severed the elf's head. Mady was out of breath.
After a few minutes, she struggled to get up and put her daggers together and sent it to her ring. She left nothing to weigh on. The arrow on her back was hurting her very much. After a little walking, she came across a Dao Tablet. This was a little different than the one inside of her ring (in her world in Vigal Quiver). Darkness energies were coming out of it. A magical formation was activated the moment Mady touched the Tablet.
The spirits, energies, blood, and bodies of all the slain elves rose up and came towards the tablet. All the energies were converging right at the top of the tablet, tightening, contracting, and shrinking. After a few minutes all bodies blood and energies disappeared. Only a drop of black blood remained. The drop of blood entered Mady's forehead.
Mady tried to stand on her knees, but after a few seconds she passed out.
PIPER
While Piper waited for Mady like everyone else, she witnessed the others talking amongst themselves that Mady was going to the top level, and also saw how they were looking jealously to the gate. Nobody had seen the last level. Except Sebastian. Every one of them thought that Mady would face one soul-core first level opponent like how Sebastian had when he was tested.
However, Sebastian was not considered knowledgeable about Vigal. At the last level, only one soul core first level enemy fought against him. But his enemy quickly killed Sebastian and sent him to the door.
Piper realized that everyone here had plans for Mady. Even Sebastian was staring at the door without blinking an eye. Two more weeks passed like this, and only one week left for the mission to finish. While Piper was stressed out by Mady's absence, the thought of not being able to complete the task put her in even greater stress. She couldn't take it any longer and went to the youths like herself, who were at the gathering energy level.
After Piper met a few people, she asked where she could find the "Lightning Creek Crow". There were three teachers who had reached the ninth level of soul formation on the delegation from Sebastian's school. After one of the young people introduced Piper to the teachers, a female teacher named Emma took Piper and quickly brought her to the nearby jungle. The two found a crow a few hours later. This crow was one meter tall and its wings three meters. The crow was extremely fast and had lightning-force energy. It was at the gathering energy third level.
Without the woman's help, Piper easily caught the crow. As Piper was going to kill the crow, a second mission appeared.
'System Announcement: Agent Piper successfully completed the mission. All agents were considered successful.'
'New Main Quest: Craft a gathering-energy-level (Grade-2) cape from the Lightning Creek Crow's Wing. Both agents can leave the mission at any time. If they succeed, the reward of the mission will triple. Time to complete the task: 3 months. Penalty: No.'
Piper looked at the new task in surprise. Hopefully, she killed the crow and threw its body into the space-ring. She sighed and thought about Mady again.
Emma inquired "Since you have killed the crow, shall we return now? I wonder your friends' gains."
Piper's eyes rolled as indicating how she was unhappy with lecher people of this land. However, Emma did not seem to understand her. Seeing her lack of wisdom about human behaviors, Piper did not care anymore.
"Let me catch more. I will try to craft a cape with them"
"Ooh, do you know how to craft grade-two items?"
"I was just about asking to you."
"Hah. Hahah. Ok, pretty. Well, your sister's school has crafting classes. Since your close friend is Master's disciple, you can join our school as well. And you already finished the sixth level of test. Probably Headmaster would be honored if you decide to join us."
While talking about crafting and school, Piper collected eight more crow corpses with the mentor next to her. On the way back together, she asked how to produce grade-2 level items and their methods. At last, Piper decided to attend Sebastian's school as Emma's student.
