Nyx stopped sitting and instead stood on Nightshade, her dark and tattered robes fluttering under the moonlight.
"Miss, can you please stop!"
She called out, the woman who covered her face with the fox mask looked back, although Nyx couldn't see it, it was obvious that what kind of look she would have on her face seeing a cat that big, but she did not show any sign of astonishment, instead she continued running.
"Hey, I just want to talk!"
'Who is that little girl, gahh, nothing makes sense ever since I received those weird martial arts!'
This was the internal voice of the fox-masked lady. She herself did not know what the martial arts was as she had no record of it to speak off, not from google, documents or anything of the sorts. It must have been some newly developed martial arts.
But the thing was that it didn't seem like a newly developed martial art, the moves were engraved within her mind; it was called the Fox Immortal Tactics. It possessed a variety of moves, movement techniques, fist techniques, training stances, methods of using hidden weapons and so on, if a fox could become human these were probably the martial arts it would use.
"Stop following me, for your own sake!"
The woman in the mask says tilting her head back a little, she didn't seem that unfriendly maybe she needs help with something. Nyx thought as she observed this happening.
Her observations were wrong as soon after slicing sounds were heard through the air. The things slicing through the air were tiny needles that gave off a poisonous scent.
"Shit, my judgement was off, quick, Nightshade, dodge!"
Nyx couldn't help but exclaim as she held onto Nightshade's fur. The small needles were dodged but only by a hair. And to prove the destructiveness of the poison used, a lizard climbing up a wall was hit by a poisoned needle.
The lizard immediately dropped to the floor limp; It was dead, that was just how destructive it was.
"Dammit, bitch die!"
Nyx was incensed now, there was no way in hell she wouldn't retaliate. She used the crudest way one could use energy particles and used it to envelop her fists.
Nyx's fists were covered in dark glows from then on.
"Ha!"
She punched out towards the fox-masked lady, although there was quite a bit of space between them, the attack still hit oddly enough. A black fist appeared from the lady's shadow and punched towards the lady. This was supposedly the crudest method of using energy particles, yet Nyx formed an amazing move from this. The energy particles made a fist avatar that attacked through the shadow of the fox-masked lady when she enveloped her hand with energy particles.
"Wahh, I'm naming this skill Shadow Fist!"
The fox-masked lady was stunned, but not visible. Over these past few days, inconceivable things happened to her, but this had to be the most absurd.
"I-I surrender!"
"Eh, aren't you meant to unleash some cool moves and try to beat me?"
"Pfft, I feel like you're reading too much webnovels,"
Nyx had no idea what a webnovel was, she honestly thought that that was going to happen. But she shrugged it off and introduced herself.
"Hello, I am Nyx,"
"I am... Huxian,"
"Please come with me,"
"Huh, why?"
"Lord Raion wishes to meet you."
"Huh, who is this Raion?"
"My saviour."
"Oh, why does he want to see me?"
"Lord Raion is looking for loyal people to help in his cause,"
"Hmm, but do I have a choice?"
"No, not really, you have caught his eye."
As if on cue, a silvery screen appeared in the air. Raion's scholarly face appeared through the screen.
"How's it going, Nyx?"
"Ah, Lord Raion, it's going well enough, I found her."
"Oh, Huxian, eighteen, one parent, a mother, hmm, recently she discovered an ancient martial arts inheritance. Oh, quite a good inheritance, she will do."
"H-how do you know of my personal information?" Huxian spoke, her voice shaking frightenedly.
"Hmm, it's not that difficult, Huxian." He says the last part with a cunning smile.
"Fine, I'll join you."
"Hehe, Nyx hurry up, Chris is already back up here, and he has quite the interesting person with him, I wanna see if Huixian can match up."
"Huh, Chris is there already..."
Before she could say anything more, Raion destroyed the silver screen.
"Huh, Huxian let's be on our way now,"
"Oh, yes."
. . .
Raion lied, Chris had not really gotten there, but he was about to get there, he only hurried them up because he needed all the help he could get from them.
Raion made nine silver screens. It was quite obvious they were nine of the ten silver screens from before.
"Hmm, let's see who's next."
"I have my first villain, now for the hero,"
Raion looked into the silver screen, and instantly his consciousness was transported to the location. It was a martial arts temple on the top of an ancient mountain in China.
Several martial disciples were within the courtyard practicing a stance, their bald heads shining under the sunlight; they were all monks.
Several other monks were also practicing at designated places around the temple. One in particular stood out. He was fiercely hitting a large tree at the centre of the temple, his hands bloodied and battered.
He gave off an unyielding aura, one that every hero in Raion's story ought to have. The monk had a little more hair than his fellow martial brothers. Although he was bleeding, the tree was in even more terrible condition.
It was battered and destroyed, just like the fists of the monk.
"Hmm, amazing. This bald donkey has quite good physical skills for a human, not as much as Banzan but good enough. I wonder what's his name?"
And as though answering his question, a yell was heard.
"Shi Juexin! Come, Head Priest is about to start a lecture in the prayer hall. Come fast!"
"Oh, Shi Daoan, I am on my way, wait for a bit!"
The person called Shi Juexin used a white bandage to wrap up his bloodied knuckles and ran over to the prayer hall in hopes of getting enlightened.
"Hoho, I have found a worthy hero and villain in China, its time for Nepal, India Japan, Russia, North Korea, and South Korea,"
