"Yes, Husband." Jasmine's face turned stern as sharp nails grew out of her.
Swish
The guy that was holding her shoulder and the one who was grabbing her arm got their hands chopped off. Jasmine wasn't done with that, she swiped her hands and ripped their heads off of their bodies.
Everyone froze at the sudden turn of events. Gale took that as an opportunity and started using his spear like he used his knife for dismantling corpses.
Because of the effect of the spear, it was easily inserted into their bodies.
There were a total of ten people at the start. Now it was only five, as Jasmine took two and Gale took three out by surprise.
Mob 1 snapped out his senses and shouted at everyone."Get back your senses. We have to kill the traitors."
"Traitors? It is you guys, who are traitors." Gale scoffed and turned his head at Jasmine. "Jasmine, take the four guys out. I want to see how I am."
He knew they had won the battle from the start, as Jasmine was much higher in the realm than everyone else. So, he decided he wanted to see how he did against someone just one stage higher than him.
Jasmine vanished from her spot and started killing the rest of the people except Mob 1.
Mob 1 knew what they were doing. He immediately got angry. "Do not underestimate me!"
He took his sword out and charged at Gale. In the meantime, Jasmine had already cleared everyone and was watching how Gale would fight.
Mob 1 swung his sword at that, which was infused with spiritual energy. Gale did the same with his spear.
Bang
Despite, being one stage lower than Mob 1, he was somehow able to push him back. Which made Gale very surprised. 'Huh? Why does he feel... weak?'
[ Host, it is because you superior cultivation technique than him and he is not very skilled with his weapon. Basically, you both are on the same page, but you have denser spiritual energy in you. ]
The system quickly answered his question.
"Then this will be fun." Gale rushed forward and started attacking him from every direction.
Mob 1 quickly went on the defensive, but he failed; he couldn't take any hits. If he defends, he would get damaged by the force, and if he tries to dodge, he wouldn't be able to keep up with his speed.
Mob 1 couldn't keep his calm anymore and forcefully rushed forward, in desperation.
With a deadpan face, Gale said."You are weak."
Puchi
Gale inserted his spear into Mob 1's heart and killed him instantly. He took his spear out of his body and heaved a sigh. "Huu, that was intense."
It was indeed intense for him, as it was his first battle and against someone who was one stage higher than him. He was mentally nervous, but after this win, he was filled with confidence.
"Gale, you won! I knew you were awesome." Jasmine came before and started worshipping him.
"Haha, he was just weak, and my luck was just good." Gale indeed meant that, as he knew, there were monsters and geniuses that were on a completely different level from these mobs.
"Hehe," Jasmine just chuckled to himself as she thought he was just being humble.
[ Congratulation, Host. You have killed 3 people who are lower level than you. ]
[ You have gained 3 points ]
[ Congratulation, Host. You have killed someone who is higher level than you. ]
[ You have gained 2 points ]
[ Congratulation, Host. You have unlocked Bronze level achievement 'Tiny Genius' ]
[ You have gained 100 one-stage spirit stones ]
[ Your harem member, Jasmine, has killed 6 people who are lower level than her ]
[ You have gained 6 points ]
[ Congratulation, you have unlocked the function 'Daily Shop'. ]
He had finished the battle and got bombarded by the system notification.
He wanted to check when Jasmine suddenly said."Gale, we should escape. People from the family will arrive."
He just remembered about the soul talisman. It was used to keep a check on every family member's life. If someone died, they would be notified by the talisman, which would get burned. With that, they would find out where someone died.
Gale didn't know what to do now as even if he did escape, they would be able to find him using his talisman, and he couldn't lie as they saw him with them the last time.
He could only rely on the system now. 'System, help me.'
[ Host, I can't help you without anything. I need something. ]
'What do you want?' Gale urged.
[ You need to use points ]
Gale didn't think much and asked directly. 'How much do you need for both of us?'
[ I need 10 points. ]
'Use it to help us.' He didn't know what they would do, but even if they were useful, it wasn't as important as their lives.
[ 10 points consumed to remove the mark on your souls. The soul talismans will get burned now, indicating you guys are also dead. ]
'Wow! You are awesome, system.' Gale gave the system an inner thumbs up.
"Gale, I feel something happened inside me," Jasmine said with concern. He knew it was the mark that vanished.
He decided to tell her everything, as it wasn't a good thing to let her always be on the blind side. "Jasmine, the soul talisman mark within us has vanished thanks to a spell I cast. Now we just have to escape this place fast."
"Hmm." Jasmine nodded her head and believed him. She knew whatever he did, it was all for their own good. He wouldn't do any harm.
With that, they quickly vanished from the forest and entered the town from the opposite side.
