"Guh."
Nikita's face grimaced in pain from the sensation of the blade piercing through her heart. The attacker's face contorted into a mocking sneer as he continued to twist the blade deeper through her heart.
"Cough."
Blood trickled down her cherry lips as she tried to take in oxygen to regulate her unstable breathing.
"Ahaha... this is what happens when you become overconfident, you should have killed me first when you had the chance. Although it's a shame I can't deliver you to the boss. I'll at least capture that green haired woman from before to make up for our failure."
he said as he wrapped his arm around Nikita's slim waist whispering in her ear. Her beautiful dress was now drenched with blood, her body was losing strength at an alarming rate. It was obvious she was going to die soon.
"In order to take revenge for all my fallen comrades, allow me to take your head."
He said as he pulled out the blade that was pierced through her chest. A large amount of blood flowed out of her chest as her legs trembled. The attacker held his sword glistening with blood upwards and was about to slash to her neck when-
"Please allow me to pay in kind."
A deathly cold voice sounded from behind. He instinctively took a step back the moment he felt that killing intent.
"You!"
He shouted staring at the person who were releasing such killing intent. For a moment it felt like time had stopped as he stared into those crimson eyes. Standing only a few inches away from him was a woman with incomparable beauty. Her silver hair swayed gently behind her back, as she narrowed her crimson eyes dangerously. Her dress was straight and didn't have a single drop of blood nor dirt.
The attacker's eyes widened as his body momentary froze, soon he looked back on the body that he had just stabbed moments ago. The body of the wounded Nikita still stood before him. But then...
Crack!
A single crack appeared on her beautiful face. The crack continued spreading until her entire body was covered with cracks, her body eventually succumb to the weight of gravity and fell noisily to the ground. The body of Nikita then breaks apart just like fragments of shattered glass.
(Shit that was a clone, when did she? Wait, that explosion don't tell me!)
It's exactly as he thought during the explosion of the Fire spear and thunder spear Nikita never let her guard down, she had been planning on how to take care of the remaining Attacker the entire time. She swaps places with her ice clone concealing her presence, she waited for the right moment to strike.
"My plan was to wait and see if you were going to make a run for it during the explosion, then secretly followed you back to your hideout and deal with those other shit heads but, to my surprise I guess a fool will always remain a fool even if their given the opportunity."
Nikita said exasperatedly. Her clone could've easily taken care of him but, she purposely lowered her guard for him to make a run for it but, in the end instead of making the wise choice of saving his life he chooses to attack instead. What a waste of an opportunity.
(Well, there is no use crying over spilt milk. There are other ways to lure those rats out.)
Nikita's lips were upturned into a wicked smirk.
"Well why don't you tell me the location of this so-called boss of yours who gave you the orders to capture us?"
"F*ck you!"
He cursed in refusal. Hearing his answer Nikita could only shake her head in disappointment.
"Fine then if you want to be stubborn then I guess I can torture you to my heart's content."
She said, smiling from ear to ear. He clicked his tongue before slashing at her diagonally sideways. Reading the path of trajectory of the blade Nikita caught it through her middle and index fingers.
"Tch."
He tried putting more force into the blade, but Nikita's physical strength once again prove to be superior. No matter how much effort he put into his sword the blade didn't budge from her fingers. Using her free hand Nikita grabbed the attacker by his neck, raising him into the air.
"Now do you want to answer my earlier question?"
She asked with a board face.
"Guh! I... w-will no-not betray... m-my comrades."
He said painfully while gasping for air. Hearing his words Nikita widened her eyes in surprise.
"I see... you have an impressive amount of loyalty. You have my honest praise. However, your loyalty is hindering my plan to take care of those trash's who dares to mock us. For your own sake I would suggest you make the choice that would save your life."
She said calmly.
"Heh... are you saying... th-that you, wo-would let me go if I tell y-you?"
He asked somewhat dubiously.
"Yes, if you tell me then I will... all I want is to get rid of the ones who wants to do harm to my master."
Nikita said cheerfully. Even though she didn't plan on letting him live since he could easily become a hindrance to Haruto later on. She decided to play with her opponent psychologically. The fox is a race that is naturally cunning by nature after all.
"The ba-base is located just.... five blocks from here at a-an old warehouse where the boss does all his criminal activities."
He explained in a hurry. Believing her words sincerely, hearing his reply to her question her luscious red lips were curved upwards in satisfaction.
"I see thank you for the information."
She said with a beaming smile.
"Now I told you everything can you let me go?"
"Oh, you are right you have helped me, so I suppose I should return the favour."
Nikita said, letting him go. As soon as his body started to fall her slender hand transformed into beast claws. She increased their size to three times as big as a human head. Before grabbing him by the face.
"Hmm? Wh-what are you doing?! Didn't you say you would let me go?!"
He exclaimed panicking.
"Indeed, I did say that I would let you go if you gave me the information I had asked for. However, what about the fact that you have stabbed my clone in the back, have you forgotten?"
His bloodshot eyes widened as 'fear' and 'madness' could be seen in there. However, Nikita chuckled as she continued.
"Just like I said before, allow me to pay in kind."
She said as she started to put pressure into her palm. And thus. The head of the attacker exploded just like an exploding watermelon his brain and flesh plated across the ground as the scent of blood mixed in with the cold night air.
Nikita licked the blood that had splashed against her right cheek. The aroma of blood entered her nose, With an entranced expression. As her milky white cheeks became tinged with a mix of red. It was an alluring action that would make any man gulped who was lucky enough to witness it.
"Now then I shall rid this world of those scumbags."
She muttered to herself as lightning flickered around her body until her figure became a blur and she vanished from her original spot.
***
Inside a shabby looking warehouse located five blocks away from the location Nikita had been in previously a muscular man could be seen there. As well as fifteen men. The muscular man was a high-ranking adventurer. And the leader of the criminal organization who loves to sell drugs and other misdoing. The leader Bai was a man in his late thirties who tends to allow his lust to compel him to act impulsively.
The royal knights of Albanian constantly tried to catch him but he wasn't someone who was easy to catch as he has many other hideouts scattered across the kingdom.
To him life was nothing more than a big game, he takes whatever he wants and kills whoever he wishes. He had no ambition other than living however he pleases. However, his mood had been completely bad since today when he saw that Kid who walked into the adventurer guild to get lost and was completely caught off guard and knocked out. Since then, his hatred has been scoring high.
Despite his irritation he couldn't forget the sight of the two most beautiful women who he ever laid his eyes on. The woman with the long twin tail green hair and the fox demi human woman with long silver hair. He could already imagine having them just imagining it made his heart elated. So, he decided to take those two then deal with the brat that dared to humiliate him before.
"Yo, boss, don't you think their taking too long?"
A man dressed in shabby clothing said. He had been patiently waiting for the three who was supposed to bring back two of the most beautiful women he had ever seen so he was extremely eager.
"Give them some time, I'm sure they must be on their way back by now."
Bai said sitting comfortably on his chair. As his right-hand creases his beard beneath his chin.
They waited for roughly 2 hours and there was still no sign of them. Frowning Bai stood up from his seat and walked towards the window giving him the perfect view of the outside.
"Strange why are they taking so long."
He muttered out loud.
"I'm sorry to say this but those guys won't be coming back."
A soft and feminine voice sounded.
