[Raven Sight. Huh. Well, it's not a bad name.]
Freya: Raven...Sight... Hmmm
Primis then called Ais who had been stupefied ever since she found out that one of the waitresses of "Hostess of Fertility" Syr was in truth Goddess of Beauty, Freya in disguise. But his action shocked her even more when he slapped Freya butt. That was the first time she had seen someone treat Freya like this.
{Primis: Ais.}
{Ais: Y-Yes, My Lord.}
{Primis: There are some pests inside. Clear them.}
Serious expression appeared on her face before she jumped over the fence and went inside. Ais didn't know how to hide her presence like Primis, Ophis and Sheng Ming. So, Sheng Ming helped her in that aspect. At first, she was amazed that no one could see her but then Sheng Ming explained. Ais finally realized how Primis was able to walk freely around Orario without being detected.
Freya: Are we just going to wait here for the Manager?
Primis: Why? Are you so old that your legs are hurting already?
Freya lips twitched when she heard that. And as she expected, only he has guts to talk to Gods like this. It's true there are many who hate Gods, but they didn't show it on the face.
Freya: Can't you show respect to a Goddess like me?
Primis then turned to Freya and showed her a smile. Seeing that smile Freya felt a chill down her spine.
Primis: Sure, if you want, I will show you respect. But this time, it will hurt more.
Freya hurriedly took some steps back while putting hands on her butt. She was now wary of Primis. She no longer had her signature calm and seductive smile on her face. Primis looked at Freya then took a sigh.
Primis: Come here.
Freya: No.
Primis: C.O.M.E. H.E.R.E.
Freya: ...…
Freya had no choice but to comply when Primis spoke in that tone. When she approached, Primis raised his hand again. Freya closed her eyes thinking he was going to slap her. But on the contrary, Primis gently put his hand on her head and started to pat her. Freya startled and raised her head. There she saw Primis showing her a small smile. This smile was gentler than before. And she fell into trance seeing that.
Primis: Anyway. Thank you for helping Haruhime and Lili in my absence. I knew you also helped them during their escape.
Freya: ...…Mn.
Freya looked down and nodded. She was trying her best to hide her face. This was the first-time her heartbeat so violently. There was also a slight blush on her face. It's hard to believe that Freya could become such meek in front of Primis.
After some time, Primis stopped patting her. Freya had also calm down. Her signature seductive smile also appeared on her face.
Freya: So—
Primis: Is your butt sill itching for another beating? Stop using charm already.
Freya: ...…*cough* Sorry, my mistake. It's a habit.
Primis: Then correct it.
Freya: I will.
Freya then stopped using her charm now fully convinced it's useless on Primis. She decided to change the topic.
Freya: By the way, because of you I owed that Manager now. I wonder if he will ask something weird.
Primis: Don't give it much thought. He will use that favor when he returns with the documents in 30-mins and so.
Freya: Hoh. Why?
Primis just a showed a mysterious smile while looking at the Mansion, now called Raven Sight.
Primis: You will know.
SLASH!!
SPLURT!!!!
Ais swinged her "Lambent Light" and another one died. Even though the location and the Mansion is good, there are still some 'rats' lurking around. Primis already gave the locations of these rats to Ais in her head.
SWOOSH!!
An arrow came from the dim corridor. Ais tilted lightly to dodged it before rushing towards the one who shot it. That person started to shoot more arrows. Ais dodged all of them without much effort and appeared in front of him. But when she was about to kill him, a great sword appeared in front blocking it.
TINK!!!
Ais didn't show any change in expression. She instead used the sword as a footing to jump over the Adventurer who blocked her. The archer behind took a sigh of relief when he thought he was saved. But when he raised his head, he was greeted by Ais cold eyes. Before he could protect himself, Lambent Light penetrated through his throat.
PIERCE!!!
SPLURT!!
Ais didn't stop there. She hurriedly pulled Lambent Light out, held it backward and attacked behind without even looking.
PIERCE!!!
SPLURT!!!
The Adventurer that protected the archer look down and saw Lambent Light coming out his chest. He was a Level-5 Strength based Adventurer. So, his strength and endurance reached the same as Ais. But Ais all-rounder stats gave her advantage. On top of 25% increase in both attack and movement speed made her go even higher.
As a result, he had to use his everything to stop that attack of Ais. If he didn't have his great sword, then he would have failed. Even if he stopped that, his body became numb for a second. That was all Ais needed to kill him and the archer behind. Ais then pulled out her Lambent Light and took a whole 360-degree turn severing his neck from his body.
PLAT!!
THUD!!
A Head and a headless body both fell on the floor. Even when she killed them, Ais didn't show any noticeable change in her expression. It was as if she just killed a bug. Unlike Haruhime and Lili, Ais had killed people before during Orario dark period. So, it's not new for her. Still, she felt a disordered feeling when she killed them. But after her heart became connected with Primis just like Ophis and Sheng Ming, even that feeling disappeared.
Ais then continued walking down the corridor. She had already killed more than 30 'rats' by now. They never expected a sudden attack. Hence 30 died too fast. As Ais was walking towards the next hidden room, she got attacked by an Assassin. Or so she thought.
FWOOSH!!!
When Ais twisted her body the dodge the attacking that was aiming at her back, but another attack was already in front. Ais narrowed her eyes and ducked. Then another attack came, out of the floor this time. Ais moved in the last second to evade and took some distance. At that time, Ais's foot fell on something.
CRUNCH!!
'Ais: Damn.'
Light was released and explosion occur.
BOOM!!!!
Freya: Hmm. What was that?
Freya who was outside with Primis of course listened the sound of explosion and stare towards the Mansion. She then looked at Primis who was leaning on the wall of Mansion like her with closed eyes.
Freya: Did you hear that?
Primis: No.
Primis respond in an instant. Even Freya for a second thought, she was hearing things. But then another sound of explosion was heard. This time Freya became certain.
Freya: Did you—
Primis: No.
Freya: ...…
'Freya: It's definitely yours doing. I am 100% sure.'
Primis remained silent. Unlike Freya, everything's visible for him. So, he saw everything Ais go through till now.
'Primis: Now. How will you handle this, Ais?'
When Ais stepped on the mine, there was another mine in a meter distance. Hence, once first one exploded other one too exploded. As the Assassins were waiting for Ais to show herself, she jumped out of the smoke. Noticing that Ais only has slight scratches, all Assassins became shocked.
These Assassins had watched Ais previous confrontation. In the end, they came to conclusion that Ais was Agility-based Adventurer. Agility-based Adventurers focus are Agility and Dexterity. Sometimes even Magic came into equation. Either way their bodies are weak than Strength-based Adventurer but stronger than Mage.
So, it really shocked them when Ais only had minor scratches on her. Just like before if Ais was her previous self that those explosions might have injured her but since she's all-rounder now, that weakness had been removed.
(*A/N: Familia only inform guild what their members Level are. They won't inform which are their main stats because if someone find it then it will be easier to find their weakness. The same case is here. Everyone in Orario knew that Ais was Level 5 Adventurer, but they didn't know she was Agility-based Adventurer. The only way to figure it out is if the person himself/herself inform or they guessed it by fighting and observing them.)
'All Assassin: Just what is going on. We just received the news in the morning that "Sword Princess" has left Loki Familia. But now she is right in front of us. Not only she became Divine Beauty even her strength increased drastically. How is this possible?'
They were the not the one with trouble thoughts. Ais's the same. She has frown on her face.
'Ais: There are more than one Assassin, and all their attacks were fully coordinated. They are experts. I am sure they have killed many High-level Adventurers before. This is troublesome. I can tell all of them are Level 5.'
Ais started to formulate plan. Primis also knew that this group will give Ais a challenge. So, he was looking forward on how Ais will handle this. The group coordination was almost like how Loki Familia's work. They covered each other weaknesses and then delivered a decisive blow at the right moment.
Ais must also end this soon.
Why? Because this is not a normal Adventurer party. They are Assassins. Assassins used traps, poison and so on. If they decided to use that then Ais will be in disadvantage. Ais also knew that since she had fought many Assassins before. As your reputation increased, they are bound to be people who get jealous. Because of that many of them had sent Assassins to kill her before.
She knew that unlike her, Assassins didn't have strong body. Therefore, she can kill them with her single attack. But no matter how much she thought, she failed to form best plan to take them out. At this time, Primis voice entered her mind.
{Primis: Calm down. The more you rush the more you will make mistakes. And they won't let go of that opportunity. Remember this, the more dangerous the situation, the calmer you should be. By the way, you can go all out without worrying about anything.}
{Ais: O-Ok, My Lord.}
Ais then took a deep breath. She at first didn't want to use "Arielle", afraid that it will damage Mansion somewhat but since Primis gave the permission, she threw that thought at the back of her head. Nevertheless, she wanted to keep damage to the minimum. Ais then leaped at the Assassins. She didn't use "Arielle" yet.
She appeared in front of one of them and attacked. That Assassin parried her attack normally. Other Assassins also attacked. Ais took them head-on with calm expression. She kept on parring, deflecting, and dodging their attacks. In between, she also attacked back which was also stopped by them at ease. They just kept on fighting like this.
The situation had turned deadlock. With neither of them getting upper hand on the other party. Soon, Ais started to use these Assassins to improve her swordsmanship "Ventus Fury". Her movements kept on becoming more and more refined. Primis who was watching everything from outside, smiled inwardly seeing this.
After some time when Ais movements became so refined that she was able to casually stop their attacks, Assassins also realized this and feel offended.
'All Assassins: THIS BITCH IS USING US TO IMPROVE HERSELF.'
Assassins were already at their wits when the deadlock situation occurred. They were planning on attacking with different tactics. But when they realized that Ais was using them to improve herself, they all felt humiliated. The famous Assassin group who killed many High-level Adventurers turned to someone's else sharpening stone. In the end, they let their rage take over and attacked Ais altogether.
That's what let them to their doom.
'Ais: Arielle.'
WAIL!!
WHIZ!!
WOO!!
A hurricane appeared around Ais. The might of the Hurricane not only stopped them but also pushed them back. Before they could understand what happened, Lambent Light pierced their throats one-by-one.
THRUST!!!
PIERCE!!
THRUST!!!
PIERCE!!
THRUST!!!
PIERCE!!
...…
...
…
When Ais stopped using her "Arielle", all their lifeless bodies fell.
THUD!!
THUD!!
THUD!!
...…
...
…
'Primis: Well done.'
