Next Morning
We were standing outside the Pure Jack.
Xiona " Best of luck, Usman." She said with a blush.
Usman" I shall do my best."
Firuza " I can't believe, I am saying but we should leave." She said with a wry smile.
Ufia" Go ahead and kid. Don't worry, she will be a great noble and warrior when you return." She said patting xiona's back.
And we left.
Usman " So, what's our next spot?" I asked Firuza.
Firuza" The town called Eternal Lament." She said seriously.
Usman" What happened to have a name like that?" I inquired.
Firuza" Mass murder."
Usman" Who did that?" I asked.
Firuza" Cultists... when they were in power." She said recalling.
Usman ' Must be some bad memories.'
Usman " Who's the current lord?" I said changing the topic.
Firuza" Liberal Voclain, a 65 year old man. Who believes in freedom, opinion and harmony." She said with a smile.
Usman" Seems like a decent guy. Family?" I asked.
Firuza" They died in the war against cultists." She said sadly.
Usman ' Another old one with a good heart.'
Near sunset, I projected the tent and started the fire . I was cooking our meal when I saw activity on my map. 19 ice Mephits were going to surround us.
Usman ' Nah, I don't think so.'
I stood up and started shooting arrows according to the location in map. And they all died in 14 shots.
Usman ' Man! This really worked! Map is OP!'
Firuza " WHAT HAPPENED?!!" She asked again in a knee length shirt.
Usman " Just Took care of some pests." I said looking aside.
Firuza" O.. okay."
Next noon~
We were moving when I saw 13 orcs coming towards us.
Usman ' They have heavy defence.'
Usman " Get behind me." I said to Firuza.
Firuza " Wh.. what?" She asked.
Usman " Now!" I said shooting arrows.
She got behind me and I bombarded the orcs
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Usman ' DAMN! THERE ARE STILL THREE!!'
I took out my swords and began chanting.
Usman " I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body and fire is my blood."
Usman ' It's better to settle this quickly.'
As orcs came out, I rushed towards them with enhanced movement.
Orc" HOINK!" It shouts slamming a club at me.
I dodged it easily and beheaded it.
Orc" HOI!" An slashed with a great sword on my back.
I side steped and beheaded him. Last one came with two axes, I beheaded him rushing past him.
I projected normal swords and looked towards Firuza. She was on her knees, looking down.
Usman " You okay?" I asked.
Firuza " No! I am NOT!" She said with tears flowing down her eyes.
Firuza " I wanted to help you after what you have done in Pure Jack. But I am nothing more than luggage to you now." She said holding her chest.
Firuza" I want to be useful to you and fight with you." She said and started crying.
