Below the Raven mountains, a village with around 26 houses were there, it was a small town called Guilma , protected by their Watchmen it was a peaceful and law abiding village but now ,after being attacked by a monster slime 5 days ago while the strongest men in the village were out to the capital for supplies
The village perished having more than half of their dwellers devoured or melted ,and when the men returned and saw their village's remain they were enraged, enough to go and look for the monster in blind hatred but they didn't,they weren't fools
They knew that iron weapons don't work on giant slimes that would be capable of such devastation ,so what did they do? Simple, they went to their lord ,the area's Viscount family and reported the attack on their village and pleaded his help
The lord ,Viscount Eric Flameheart famous for his benevolence was enraged hearing such a thing happening in his territory and was caused by a mere giant slime ,he immediately called and ordered one of his strongest knight who was called Julia Rosenhart , famously known as ' The Sword ' a 5th class swordswoman who was only 19 years old, a genius to exterminate it and bring him it's core ,uncracked for experimentation purposes, such a slime wasn't normal afterall, it might be an abnormality caused by a demon
And with her lord's order in mind the beautiful silver haired swordswoman clad in white light armour with violet eyes setted out immediately on her horse guided my the men of the village
And in about 3 days later they arrived on the village, knight Rosenhart, a noble and kind knigh who was famous for her gentle temper was visibly furious, she actually knew this village rather well as she often came here to collect some Aurslane grass for the viscountcy, and was familiar with the people as well and now only the son of the chief, the strongest man in the village and 10 of his friends with 4 women were the only survivors of this village ,the thought made her blood boil with hatred for the damn slime
{ How dare a mere ball of ditchwater!! (Gritted her teeth in rage )}(Julia)
" Madam knight we'll accompany you on the way up, the mountain is wide and I dare say that I won't be a burden to you "
The village chief's son declared,he was armed with his father's best spear that remained on his house, the Magisteel spear but the lethality of the spear couldn't compare to the hatred that seemed to be able to burn anything in his path to vengeance to ashes, he was determined to see this through at least even as a guide
The man who was older than her by atleast 5 years bowed to her and begged, there was no way she could reject it even if he was a hindrance, she replied as she kept her rage aside after a sigh
" I hope you're true to your words ,son of Calis "
Hearing the his father's name out of one of the most talented genius in the continent filled him with pride and determination. He stood back up and replied
" I won't "
And with that the village chief's son ,Herman told his friends to stay here till it was done, they didn't protest at all as they completely trusted their leader and area's best knight skill ,so they all bowed and wished them
" Good luck Leader and Mrs Rosenhart "
With that the 2 turned into a blurr and disappeared into the forest at high speed making their way up in the mountains, Herman ,a 7th class ranger and spearman took the lead as he was the most familiar with this place ,he spreaded out his mana in the area to track it but
Julia :" Is there any direct path to the south ?"
He was outdone
Herman :" Yes, please follow me "
With that they changed direction
Julia :{ That vibration was a powerful one, a fight between monsters? It's worth looking into, and if it's that slime it's as good as dead }
Tsssh
The ran through the forest faster than the winds
***
And in no time less than a minute
Tsssh
They arrived at the site , the western part of the Raven mountains where the vibration Julia felt came from ,and found traces of a battle, broken and slices up trees, blood of a beast and one dead corpse of a wild boar .
{ This isn't the trace of a slime} (both Julia and Herman thought so)
Herman :" It must've been afight between an adventurer and these beast "
Julia :" Leave it be, we have to find that slime as soon as possible"
Herman nodded and turned around, Julia also followed but before they ran
BHoBooomm!!!
Oweeeeeeeeeek!!
A sudden boom echoed through the forest along with the squeal of a wild boar that sounded high leveled
Julia turned around with her sword drawn out in a flash as she stood before Herman before he took his stance
{F..fast}(Herman)
" My lady "
Julia :" Stay here "
Tsssh
She disappeared leaving Herman within her senses detection zone incase he got attacked
{ I didn't sense any mana activation so it probably isn't an adventurer, what is it then ? A fight between beast? }
She ran on top of a tree and made her way towards the direction of the battle using the trees as a path like a skilled ranger with acrobatic and flexible steps and movements
Bhooommm!!!
" Damn pig!!! "
Julia :{ A voice, it's belongs to young boy, about my age, frustration and desperation can be heard in his voice }(sped up)
....
" Why's he naked? "(Frowned, preplexed and creeped out)
She reached the place where the battle was going on but stopped for a moment under the shade of a tree while hiding her presence, it was because what she saw completely baffled her, a young swordsman was fighting a boar king ,butt naked with nothing but a sword and his adventurer tag, and worst he seemed to be an 9th class as he had no trace of mana on his body
They were having a staredown after the swordsman dodge the boar king's( a wild red boar the size of a 2 storeyed house and tusk as long as a sword ) charge attack, he seemed to be attempting to hurt the boar's head but making it charge through the trees, but as Julia knew, it wasn't gonna do anything, a king boar's head is as hard as adamantine,it wasn't gonna get hurt anytime soon
But the young man didn't seem to be discouraged about his failures,Julia feeling intrested continued to watch, she planned to save him even if he was a perverted exhibitionist who likes fight naked if he seemed like he was about to die
Oweeeeel!!!
Breaking the staredown the giant king boar charged forward at a speed that would put the Ford Mustang to shame ,it was definitely gonna kill the young swordsman of he got hit, it was the boar's innante skill ' Wild charge '
{ He'll have to dodge this using a movement skill ,but he has no mana ,i should save him now }(covered her body in white mana)
But before she moved the swordsman suddenly jumped forward leaving a crater on his take off spot and met the boar's charge and slide past it's tusk —
" What? "(Widened her eyes in surprise){How is he-}
— and slashed the king boar's side swiftly cutting the flesh of its hind legs
OWEEEEEEEEK!! BHOOOMM
Charging through a tree with a pained squeal blood flowed down from the cut ,the boat couldn't get back up, being an intermediate rank as a king boar it was rather resilient as it did not die immediately contrary to the swordsman expectations but he didn't freeze and jumped at the boar without a moment wasted and plunged his sword through the boar's skull
" That sword! (Her surprise only rose seeing the blade of the swordsman's sword) "
Oweeeeeeeeeek OWEELK W...
" .....{I damaged the leather a bit too much, curses!! } (Pushed his sword deeper until the body of the boat stopped convulsing) Hmm (pulled the blade out and swung the blood off of it ) I didn't glow this time "
He felt a bit disappointed
" No matter ( he then looked at the corpse ) Time to get to work "{This one is much bigger than the rest so the damage part can be forgiven i guess }( a helpless smile formed on his face)
He approached the king boar's corpse to skin it but then all of a sudden his entire body hairs stood on end from an instinctual feeling, the entire world stopped for a moment, no it was played in slow motion , a feeling of danger engulfed his body
LEAP TO THE SIDES NOW!
Following his senses he leaped to the right with all his might -
Fwuuuuu
-and looked back to see what he dodged, it was a sheathed blade aimed for his head and carrying it was a girl with white hair, she landed on the ground with a surprised look on her face
{ He dodged it ?}(she quickly put her surprise away and calmly stood there looking at the unknown pervert's eyes)
The young naked man also stopped for a whole 4 second stunned by the girl's beauty and seductive figure before he snapped back to reality and stood back up with his sword
{ She's out of my league } " Why did you attack me? "
The unknown swordswoman with silver hair then pointed her sheathed sword at him and then ask with gaze cold gaze with her violet eyes, her glare was cold enough to freeze any hot blooded man in a second
" Who are you, perverted exhibitionist ? "
" YOU ARE MISTAKEN!!! { HAAA THIS SO DAMN EMBARRASSING!!}"
