A.N. First i am sorry for being late, but my pc died again so it is back to writing on my smartphone. As for the covers they are going to be delayed and i am sorry for making the last chapter kinda like a rush job.
As for the last part think of it as a preview.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{Present, Dragon and knight inn.}
Uhh what the hell is this i want to sleep, wait that's a massage screen.
{Congratulations, your "ninja of nature" class has leveled up.
In addition to that you unlocked the "wolf pack" skill, and a sub element of your choice is available.}
What my ninja of nature, you know what i think i will call it nature ninja it sounds better, but how did it leveled up.
It's probably because of that battle where i killed those humans.
Oh good morning Arin.
That's a nice theory and all but why did it take so long and why nature ninja instead of demon master.
I might have made a mistake and all exp went to that class.
Sigh.
[It's fine, though i am curious about this "wolf pack" skill and about sub elements as well.]
[Appraisal.]
{"wolf pack" - In addition to your lighting alpha wolf slot you have acquired sub element beta slot and sub element delta slot.}
So in other words i have in addition to my lighting spirit wolf i have two other spirit wolves, but it seems that i can pick only one for now, so i better choose carefully.
But i don't understand how they can have sub elements instead of basic elements.
Back then when this was just a game sub element was reserved for element master mages, but now i who don't use magic have an option to pick one.
Maybe it's because this is the full version, my lady.
What do you mean Arin, explain.
Well based on my limited knowledge, this world and the game that you called Verzors are connected to some degree and players can still interfere, but you know the world can't be simply updated nor can it get something like DLC, but the game can.
I don't know much, but my theory is that this world is like a full version of Verzors and all skills, mechanics, calsses and so on that were about to be added to game and updates that would come in the future, are already here.
That's an interesting theory but it does make sense, but i am curious if the players from my world can do what they want, how much are they capable of doing to this world.
Now then, let's choose another wolf.
Hmm this one seems interesting.
{Miyuki even though she is female she reached rank of beta with her hard work and power over ice and snow.
She is noble, intelligent and honest.
If the mission isn't secure, she would do everything she can to secure the mission, but if her subordinates would die she would rather retreat.
She would rather sacrifice herself then letting someone precious to her die.
Highly compatible with Raigu.}
How much information is there, wait compatible with Raigu.
Raigu is my lighting wolf spirit.
So i guess i will choose Miyuki as my beta wolf.
[Summon Miyuki the Winter Monarch.]
A large summoning circle appeared on the ground. The temperature dropped, Driza breath became visible and some parts of the room started to freeze and light fog appeared on the ground.
Then a large wolf appeared. Her body wasn't fully visible and her eyes were glowing ominously in an ice cold color. When fog disappeared everything was visible. Wolf was as white as snow and her eyes were frost pale blue with slits in them.
[A human, no, a vampire huh. How dare you, a lowly vampire, summon me Miyuki the Winter Monarch.]
Purple mist was released from the back of Driza's neck and formed Arin's body.
[Oh so you are a demon master huh, maybe you are not so worthless as i initially thought.]
[Watch it mutt.]
The room started to freeze even more and faster and the temperature became even colder.
[What did you say you demon slu-]
[Enough you two. Miyuki the Winter Monarch i, Driza Ellen Valentia summoned you here to make a pact with you to be my beta.]
[What you dare to summon me for that reason and yet you want me to be a beta, such insolence.]
[I cannot make you alpha because Raigu is my alpha.]
[Wait you said that Raigu is your alpha, if so then summon him.]
[Okay.]
[Summon Raigu The Lighting Alpha.]
A large summoning circle appeared and from it lightning began to fly all over the room and the wolf created from lightning was standing in the middle of the circle.
Those lightings, it really is him, but why is he with that vampire.
The lighting solidified and the wolf that was slightly taller than Miyuki was there. He had a light gray fur with lighting blue on the ends of his fur.
His eyes were golden with slits in them.
[Oh my it was so long since i last saw you and i can tell that you have gotten stronger because before you were just a low rank wolf and now you are beta.
I sincerely congratulate you on your achievement.]
[Thank you sir.]
[Sir may i ask yo-.]
[And if it isn't lady Driza. I am really grateful to you, my lady i truly appreciate your kindness.]
[Okaaay, but i am not sure that i follow you.]
[Oh right i guess you wouldn't know what I am talking about, right.]
[Not a clue.]
[Well some time ago, i don't really know myself but something happened and i fell asleep and i couldn't wake up. I was trapped in a world of nightmares and as if that wasn't enough, in that world a time flow is different and let's just say that i spent a lot more than i wished.]
[But now i am wide awake and ready to serve.]
[Sir Raigu how can you call that insignificant lowly vampi-]
She stopped mid sentence when she felted Killer instinct coming not just from Arin, but Raigu as well.
[Listen Miyuki even though i raised you as my daughter i will not hesitate to kill you if you speak to my master like that ever again.]
Miyuki gulped. She was very scared because she knew that he wasn't joking.
You see that my lady, Raigu is truly loyal to you.
Well that is the wolf's loyalty, for you. He didn't even hesitate to threaten someone that he raised as his daughter.
Well at least this will make things easier.
How so, my lady?
Well you just witnessed just how much Raigu is loyal to me and since he raised Miyuki she must be very loyal as well and because she looks up to Raigu as a father figure she is loyal to him and since i am his master she will be loyal to me too.
I see.
[Sir Raigu why are you serving that low life, i mean that young lady.]
O my, is someone scared to submission.
Well she is threatened by someone she considers a father, so it isn't a surprise.
[Well that's a long story.]
{Flashback}
{Three years ago, shortly after Driza finished her training, on her travels.}
Trees as an eye can, no wonder this is called ocean of trees.
But this is surely the place that the elder told me about.
Currently Driza was standing on the cliff and looking down towards the great ocean of trees.
She closed her eyes thinking how she came here.
{Flashback, a few hours earlier.}
Driza was standing on a hill looking towards the nearby village.
Well this should be Kazuna village. There should be someone that can tell me how to find an animal spirit guide.
Suddenly a large explosion ran off in the center of the village followed by a few smaller ones around the village and smoke going from the village.
The village is under attack, is it bandits, or maybe another county attacked it.
Either way i can't just sit idle while watching this.
Innocent people will get either hurt or killed. If that was the only thing then i wouldn't care, however there is a person in the village that knows something that i need to know.
So i guess i will help them and besides this will be the perfect chance to test the power of nature curse without an animal spirit guide.
With that she dashed off towards the village.
{Kazuna village.}
Utter chaos was the only way to describe the situation. Everyone who was resisting was either killed or heavily wounded survivors that were consisting mostly of women and children were gathered in the town's center.
[Well, well, well look at. Cheers boys we got a splendid group of slaves and played things.]
The boss of the bandits said that with a twisted smirk on his face.
his clothes were not much different from other bandits, just so little to be clear about who is the boss.
He was bold and he had a thick mustache and small beard.
Cheers of bandits could be heard while looks of fear and terror appeared on the faces of survivors, especially on faces of mothers because they knew what was going to happen to them, but not only that but their children as well.
There is no escaping this terrible fate.
They already did everything they could to defend themselves and now they lost.
[Okay now listen you are all free to do whatever you want with any of them except the ones i chose for myself, but be careful not to damage the goods or you will pay for it, we will stay here for three days then we will go to sell goods for a lot of cash.]
[Yes sir.]
Most of the children didn't know what was going on and they didn't understand what he meant by goods and what that had to do with them, but seeing the terrified faces on their mothers they knew that they should be afraid.
All of the bandits said at the same time.
Unknown to them there was a figure in the sky watching them with pure disgust.
She was flying with transparent wings that were made of purple energy coming from the bottom of her back.
Well guess it's time for that test, but i gotta say this is really strange i've been using demon's power continuously and yet i still cannot come in contact with her.
It's almost as if her conscience is somewhere else.
[No matter, time to get this party started.]
[Curse change.]
The glowing purple symbol that was on her left hand disappeared and another glowing symbol appeared on her right hand, but this one was white.
The moment that purple symbol disappeared her wings disappeared with it.
The scythe that was strapped on her back disappeared and two kunais that were slightly bigger than throwing ones were now on her back around the same place where her wings were placed like x, with blades facing upwards.
She was falling faster and faster until she hit the ground creating a sizable crater.
When she landed a large dust cloud was created.
The bandits were shocked.
The only thing visible in the smoke was a symbol glowing on her right hand, but thanks to the smoke cloud it was hard to tell what color it was.
[Boss who or what is that.]
[That symbol is it possible that this is-
Everyone prepares yourself, this is a curse warrior.]
[Yes sir.]
When dust settled everything was clear.
A gorgeous woman was standing in the center of the crater. She had white hair and pale frost blue eyes. She had two kunais on her back and one empty katana sheet on the left side of her waist.
Now it was clear what kind of symbol was on her right hand and what color is that.
[Everyone stands down.]
[But sir you sai-]
[I know what i said, but look at her symbol it is clearly a nature ninja, but white color means she didn't make any pact with any spirit animal.
In other words she is harmless.]
[How many?]
Driza said it quietly.
[Hmm, you said something?]
[I said... how many families you've destroyed.
How many lives you've a
made miserable.]
[Hm. More than I care to count, but it should be at least five hundred.]
When she heard that she clenched her fist.
[I will kill all of you scum.]
[I am not falling for that act, i know that you are a nature ninja, but your curse symbol is white in other words you didn't make any pact with any animal spirit guide. So there is absolutely no reason for us to fear you.]
[Tell you what. If you are willing to surrender i will make you my personal slave and i will even be gentle with you. what's more I'm sure we will find some animal spirit guide and make you stronger.]
[Sir if she is a curse warrior wouldn't be better to
sell her instead?]
[Well, i do admit that she would fetch a very high price, hell we could probably sell her for far more than any of these villagers.]
[Then why not do just that.]
[You are blinded by your greed so much that you only see profit that you can make at the moment.]
[Think about it, curse warriors are very strong and if we could put someone of that caliber under our control we would have a powerful asset.]
[And if she proves to be not worth the trouble she could fetch an even higher price if we made her strong.]
[Oh i see now, you are an absolute genius.]
[So what do you say, a nice deal isn't it.]
[You are all dead to me.]
[A shame just don't blame us when we are rough with you.]
[Attack.]
All bandits rushed towards Driza.
Driza slammed two handles of her two kunais and the blades were pointing to left and right, then she shouted.
[Kitiara.]
Two kunais became one katana. She placed the katana in a sheet and she placed herself in the stance and closed her eyes.
[What is she thinking.]
When bandits were close to her... it happened.
[Flash draw.]
She drew her katana in an instant and all of the bandits were sent flying off, but it wasn't just that.
All of them were either decapitated or their limbs were missing or were cut to pieces.
[You Bitch, i don't care how much you worth i am gonna kill you, but not before i make you beg for the sweet release of death.]
[If you think you can feel free to try.]
The boss bandits rushed towards Driza and tried to strike her with his sword, but Driza blocked each and every strike that he sent her way with little to no effort.
[You don't have a clue how to wield the sword do you?]
[Damnit stay still bitch.]
Driza was about to strike him down but in the last second he jumped away creating a distance between them.
[At least you have some dodge skills.]
[Stop resisting you slut, i am gonna beat you then i am gonna rape each and every villager in front of you to make you see how much you made situation worse for everyone, oh and i will do the same for kids and of course you.]
Some mothers started clenching their children.
Some of them were angry at the mysterious woman that made their situation a lot worse while others were hoping that by some miracle this woman saved them.
[Now you crossed the line.]
[Curse change.]
White curse symbol disappeared from her right hand and the purple symbol appeared on her left hand.
Her skin gained a faint purple glow.
[What you are a dual curse wielder.]
[Yes and tell me do you recognize this curse symbol.]
She gave him a good look at the symbol.
The moment he realized what symbol it is he was so shocked and terrified, even more than villagers from him.
[Based on your reaction i assume you know what it is.]
[P-P-P-Please great demon master s-Show me mercy.]
[Not a chance in hell.]
[Demon prison.]
A light purple circle appeared beneath him and in the circle it looked like an endless dark purple pit.
He began slowly to sink, he tried to struggle but in vain.
She put her hand in front of her and it looked like some sorta purple orb was in her hand.
The shade of purple was changing.
[Now then, a large casting area.]
A large circle surrounded the village the moment she said that.
[Rebuild.]
The whole village started to repair by itself.
When it was finished she said.
[Dark heal.]
All villagers were surrounded by black fog and then their wounds started to heal.
When all of them were healed Village's chief came before Driza.
[Uhh you need something?]
[I just want to thank you for saving us and our village, we are grateful. If there is any way to repay you you need only to ask.]
[Well there is something.]
[What is it?]
[I want to form a pact with an animal spirit guide. You know a place where i can find one.]
[Actually yes if you head towards the southwest you will find a crater so large that you can't see the other side, from one sided.
It's believed that the crater is a place where a curse meteor fell on earth. Now that place is known as the ocean of trees.
Legends said that Raigu the lighting alpha wolf is there, but that place is so wide that i am sure that other animal spirit guides live there.]
[Thank you i will be off then.]
{End of the flashback.}
The village chief really didn't kidding, when he said how wide this place is, oh well at least i won't need to worry about information leaking from the villagers. Based on their reaction they don't know anything about curses or anything of that sort.
[Well then i guess that wolf won't be found by itself.]
Suddenly a loud howl went off in a nearby area, as well as a few lightning beams.
[I guess it may be found by itself. I should get going.]
She spread her wings and flew in the direction where that howl came from.
When she landed she was surprised.
Raigu the lighting alpha was trapped in the energy sphere.
[Well, i certainly didn't expect for our first meeting to be like this.]
[What does a vampire want with me?]
[I will be blunt, i want to make a pact with you.]
[Hahahahah.]
[Wait you are serious.]
[Yes i am.]
[Then what are you waiting for.]
[Is it alright?]
[Well as you can see i am trapped with no way out so you can do what you want and i will not be able to do anything in response.]
He then closed his eyes awaiting his fate to be sealed.
[Dispell.]
[The energy sphere was then surrounded by black aura and it disappeared.]
Raigu was surprised.
[Why did you do that.]
[If i am going to make a pact with you it will be only if you are willing to do so.]
[What is your name, young vampire.]
[My name is Driza Ellen Valentia.]
[Lady Driza you freed me instead of forcing me into something i don't want, so place your hand on me and channel you mana into me, if you pass i shall forge a pact with you.]
She did so and passed the test.
She placed her hand on his head and then.
[Create a pact.]
The purple chain went out of Driza's chest where her heart is and the lighting blue chain went out of Raigu's heart two chains connected and became one. Half was blue and half was purple until Raigu bowed his head in submission.
Then the purple part of the chain started to turn the blue part in purple.
After that the chain was absorbed by them in the place where they are connected.
{End of flashback.}
And that is how the two of us created our pact.
Raigu explained to Miyuki, who was quiet the whole time.
Then Driza stood up.
[Miyuki the Winter Monarch i will ask you again will you forge a pact with me?]
