The ground tears open, a pile of burnt sand and grass thrown everywhere along with the girl. She lands on the floor and drops to her knee.
The guard and his Zhounds all exit the destroyed tunnel, as well as other guards that were searching the other areas all of them begins approaching the girl.
Before long they had all surrounded the girl with their weapons drawn and pointed at the girl whose robe was nothing more than just rag on her body now.
The girl stood up and faced the twenty some guards surrounding her her eyes marking all of them. She pulls out from underneath her robe, two rods polished in a brimming gold.
She clicks on the middle part of each rod, causing a mechanisms to follow as the rods split into two but rather than separating, they were still connected by a chain in their middle.
The guard with the Zhounds takes a step forward and speaks up. "Princess Aleastasia, please do not do this!"
The rest of the guards all nod their heads in agreement their eyes holding a calm welcoming gaze but their weapons were still drawn high without even faltering a bit.
"Princess Aleastasia, just come back. The king knows you are not like this, I'm sure he will forgive you, but if you continue with whatever it is you plan on doing, you might anger the king." Another guard speaks up, he walks forward as well his daggers crossed before him.
"Come back? Anger the king?..." The girl revealed to be princess Aleastasia says as she pulls down the hood over her head.
"... Tell father, I could have just waited for maybe ten years for him to remember me and come searching, but your king's son left without as much as a questioning so why can't I leave the same way?"
"Princess! You don't mean you're leaving the kingdom all for a guy. You know that's almost impossible, especially when the king had set different potential husband with about nine kingdoms!"
"Potential husband or not, I already have someone who is not just a mere potential husband but is much more than that and I have to meet him, so don't try stopping me!"
The princess says swirling the nunchakus in circle. The guards as well all toughen their minds and face each of them gripping their weapons tighter.
"Attack! Remember we must being her back at all cost, she can be wounded as per the kings rule so go all out, you know the person you're up against!" The guard with the Zhounds say as he puts his Zhounds by the side.
The twenty four guards all with different weapons attack Aleastasia. She tears off the remaining part of the robe on her body and throws it up.
The guards were all running towards her swinging their weapons in different ways and angles. As they near her some began to lunge at her, but she keeps standing without any thoughts of attacking back.
The robe softly falls to the ground and with it she shot out like a missile, the metal nunchakus hitting against two guards head.
Their heads are thrown sideways, a painful crack rings out from their necks that bends along with their head. The helm on their head in pounded inside from just one hit, and with the looks of the pressed helm, it seems even their skulls have been pressed inside as well.
One swing a spear at her, but she turns around rolling along the body of the spear until she reached the guard holding it, then she strikes with her metal demons.
The guard seems to have learnt from what happened to the other two, so he bends down swiping his leg at Aleastasia, but she jumps over it.
Seeing her in the air, the guy stabs his spear forward again, along with four other slashing their swords at her, she forcefully hits her nunchakus beneath her the force pulling her down.
She uses the leg of the guy on the ground as a landing pad, a sickening crunch whispers with the wind. A pained yell following right after as the guard with a now broken leg, rolls out of the way.
Running towards the guards that realized they can't take her by fighting one after the other. Aleastasia eyes glow a dangerous light, killing intent downpouring from her in excessive waves.
"If you won't get out of my way, don't blame me for what happens!" The killing intent seemed to have reached a great amount and could no longer remain abstract and begins to take a physical form.
Her eyes litters the air with aggressiveness, her hair turns to light dancing behind her, her killing intent keeps pouring out and keeps solidifying around her.
Soon enough a figure made of pure killing intent rises around her, she remains inside it controlling it with her movements. Seeing the dark red figure that resembles her and her dark red light hair that is now present on her head, the guards all huddle together.
She swings her hand swinging with it her nunchaku and making it collide with a guard's jaw. The guards spins sideways like a ballerina, spit and tooth flying out out his shattered jaw.
The figure over her also does the same, it's nunchakus swiping across the grassland. The aura of death and killing in it domineering the atmosphere with a frightening thought.
The guards all tried their bests to move out of the way, but some stood still the killing of the intent fervently ringing in their minds, scene of death and gore overcomes their senses and they are drowned in a world of blood and body parts.
Without the knowledge of what was happening in the outside world, the seven guards all stood still petrified to their spots, until the giant oversized nunchaku of killing intent crashes against them.
The nunchaku although made from an abstract item such as killing intent, is in reality solid than even metal. So when the huge weapon of doom slams against the petrified seven, it was nothing short of a devastation.
Bones were broken and some were unfortunate enough to even lose a limb. The intent hitting them seemed to have brought them out of their daydream as they all realize the danger they are in, but it's too late as they all are sent flying somewhere else, out of battle condition.
The remaining fourteen guards sheath and keep their various melee weapons, bringing out any and all sort of ranged ones they have.
Three out of the fourteen, had longbows along with a quiver filled with special arrows made of bones and some rare ore. Five of them held three mouthed crossbows fixed with crossbow bolts in each of the slots. Another five had rope darts, tied around their forearms as they each took low stances.
As for the last person he didn't change weapons, he still had his whip that he currently had coiled around his fist. Then he whistles.
"Boys! One form!" He shouts out but not to the other guards but instead to his boys as he called them, to the Zhounds.
The four Zhounds all bark in command as they each faced each other, snarling and growling then they begin to walk into themselves, slowly but surely their bodies begin to join together becoming one.
As their bodies merge their height increases and takes on a more humanoid form. After a few seconds their form was completed.
Standing on two legs with two long hands dangling by their sides. A head on its neck, and three more around it, one on each shoulders and one engraved onto the chest. All four heads howl at once, as the body of the patched beasts enlarges with tighter and firmer muscles.
Seeing their main weapon against the princess is ready, the rest of the guards all activate either their skills or techniques they hold in their possession. Each of them glowing with a destructive necrotic energy, that seems to collectively decay even the air around them.
"Not only you can do something special!" Aleastasia shouts at them as she also make a combination of hand signs, and when she finishes her huge killing intent that covered her like an armor, separated from her and got it's freedom.
Without wasting time the huge killing intent replica of her, went along and began fighting with the combined Were-zhound. While Aleastasia herself does another set of hand signs that sends her two nunchakus into the air and keeps it levitating.
With a wave of her left hand the nunchaku on the left also moves, and with a pull of her right hand the nunchaku on the right moves closer to her.
Two guards approach her from both sides shooting their crossbows bolts at her. She rotates her wrists slightly as well her nunchakus also rotates at high speeds, deflecting all the bolts coming at her.
After deflecting all the current incoming shots, she flicks her wrist and the nunchakus fly to the guards, they both dodge it but Aleastasia herself already got to them, holding their heads and smashing them together.
She then faces the rest if the guards. "Shall we?"
