Ahhhh how can I fall into an ambush again!?
Zinon felt like crying. It wasn't the first time she had been caught off guard because she was careless. It was precisely for that reason that she was currently grounded.
And besides, what was a hunter from the hunter legion of the church of life doing here!? Zinon had been able to see the man's robe and was sure of it.
And that was why his mind was shocked for a moment. The minimum level to enter the hunter order was 250!
Why the fuck did the church of life send someone so powerful to kill a girl that their Goddess brought!?
Zinon realized immediately that the Goddess Siorr wanted Kayla dead.
That was something that had never happened! Or at least she wasn't aware...
Ah damn, this trip of reflection, which was already shit, got even more shit with all this!
After cursing for a while longer, Zinon finally calmed down.
Well... I guess it's time to think about my situation. Zinon sighed mentally and inspected her body.
Heart torn, three ribs broken, almost all of her internal organs out of place... Yes, she would be better off dead... Although technically I am haha. Zinon laughed bitterly.
Hah... Curing all this is going to take a lot of divine power. Zinon already wanted to cry for her future losses.
First though I have to remove this damn seal! Zinon looked into her soul and saw the chains made of symbols around a white flame.
Well, the seal weakened when it sensed my state, now I just need a push and...
Suddenly, the white flame expanded, incinerating the chains in an instant.
Haha, all those assholes won't be able to tell me anything now for breaking the seal since it was self-defense!
Finally, Zinon's sealed abilities and stats came to light, giving him the ability to cast a divine art.
"Divine grace… Tears of a saint" Zinon managed to murmur even though her body was destroyed and a golden drop materialized and fell on top of her…
With surprising speed, all of her wounds began to heal. Her heart returned to its original shape, her ribs healed, and her organs returned to their original place in a matter of minutes.
Well, I finally recovered, now I have to save Kayla! That bastard must not have killed her yet, everyone in her order has a bad habit of playing with her targets as if they were prey and-!
"ARGHHH!"
Zinon's thoughts froze. No... I couldn't do it!
Zinon stood up and looked towards the source of the scream, and saw something that broke his heart.
Kayla, the girl who had earned her affection in the last few weeks they spent together, was lying on the floor, bathed in sweat and with strong spasms.
Although Zinon couldn't see any injuries, she immediately realized what happened and trembled.
Although Kayla had never told him how her innate ability worked, she had seen her fight many times and never imagined that someone could use her ability like that.
"...Rest in peace, my toy"
That damn bastard! Zinon watched as the hunter approached and raised his dagger.
Zinon's eyes turned red, but he maintained his composure and he did what he had to do first in his situation.
"...Divine grace, divine barrier" his voice was deep, with hatred evident in it.
And with those words, a golden barrier appeared around Kayla before the man could stab her. That was one of the strongest barriers he could create and could last for weeks if he so desired.
She would make sure Kayla didn't suffer anymore.
"Eh?"
Zinon watched as the man tilted his head toward her and turned his head toward her.
"Oh but what do we have here, my priestess friend rose from the dead!" The hunter smiled, but a hint of caution could be seen in his eyes.
I'm sure he stabbed her in the heart...
The hunter knew that anyone who could come back from that would not be an easy opponent.
"Don't call me friend, it's disgusting" Zinon began to gather energy in his magical core, preparing to activate an ability...
"Haha, you're also a fighter huh" The hunter smiled and looked at her, especially her body. "Although you know, you have a good body, wouldn't you be interested in having something with this humble hunter named Derick?"
Derick bowed, pretending to be a gentleman.
"Shut your damn mouth" Zinon almost lost control of his energy from anger, but managed to calm down.
"Oww... You hurt my feelings you know? Now I just have to..." Derick lowered his head and seemed to wipe away his tears... Before disappearing.
Shit, it's a trap!
Zinon immediately jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding a dagger that passed inches from her neck.
"...Kill you, or well, that's what I'd say if I really killed you" Derick laughed. He had almost managed to say a great sentence!
"Now you really made me angry you bastard!" Zinon gritted his teeth. They almost caught heroff guard again!
"And you'll regret not killing me!" Zinon smiled sinisterly and began to make seals with his hands.
"What, those seals...!? I have to stop her!" Derick was scared for the first time.
Her captain had told her a lot about the seals Zinon made with her hands and from what she had heard, it wouldn't be pleasant for him if she didn't stop her.
"Hehe, I guess you already figured it out, you bastard..." Zinon smiled and made the final seal. "Encarnación: Saint of the three disasters!"
Suddenly, Zinon's body was surrounded by a golden pillar of light and golden particles began to gather together, creating translucent animal parts on Zinon.
Two large golden fox ears grew on his head that matched his yellow hair.
Along with his ears, three translucent tails of different colors grew: one light green, another bright gold, and the other burning red; each representing different disasters.
Derick's face darkened. What the hell is a divine vessel doing here!?
Derick was cursing his luck. Only one divine vessel could be found among hundreds of Thousands and now he went and found one!
They had promised him that this mission was going to be easy! He wanted to complain to the captain!
"What, are you starting to regret everything you did?" Zinon smiled warmly. "Well, too late you bastard!"
The golden tail began to point at Derick. Derick paled and started running in circles around Zinon so fast that his body couldn't be seen.
"Haha, it doesn't matter how strong your attack is if it can't reach me!" Derick laughed fearlessly, although it did nothing to hide his pale face.
Zinon did not respond and looked at him coldly. He didn't want to waste time anymore. Without seeing him, his golden tail fixed on a point where Derick was passing.
Derick was fast, even she had a hard time keeping up with his faster than sound speed. But there was no need for him to follow.
Tendrils of electricity suddenly surrounded his golden tail, before a golden bolt of lightning flew towards where he was pointing!
"Second disaster, holy storm!" Zinon shouted.
Bamm!
A loud explosion shook the nearby trees and created a curtain of dust all over the place.
Zinon didn't get impatient and waited, she was sure the punk couldn't move at the very least.
And after a few seconds, the curtain of dust disappeared, showing Derick with his clothes torn and golden tendrils dancing on his burned body.
"Haha... I guess I was too arrogant." Derick tried to smile flirtatiously. "What do you say, beautiful, will you let me go? It would be a loss to the world if someone as handsome as me died..."
Zinon felt a vein bulge and just pointed it with his green tail.
Strong winds surrounded his tail and formed an incredibly sharp cone that was visible to the naked eye.
"Die... First disaster, tornado from the sky!" Zinon shouted as she pointed her finger at him.
The wind cone flew away, creating strong winds around her!
"Tsk, didn't they ever teach you not to point fingers? I feel offended" Derick smiled and suddenly disappeared, narrowly avoiding the attack.
The wind cone did not stop and continued flying, creating a path of destruction hundreds of meters long in the forest...
"Tsk, I knew it…" Zinon was not surprised and increased her caution.
These damned ones from the Hunter Legion have a reputation for always ending their fights with a single blow... That fact made Zinon increase her caution even more. She didn't want to be killed before she could do something!
Zinon stayed in her position without moving, ready to defend himself at any moment.
But her patience finally ran out when she spent an hour in the same position without moving at all.
"Damn it, why don't you show up and get this over with! We've already been here for an hour!" Zinon shook her fist in the air in anger.
"As you wish, beauty"
Suddenly, the shadow in front of Zinon began to move and created a silhouette, Derick's!
Derick ran towards Zinon without fear, ready to kill her with a golden dagger in her hand.
But the instant he appeared, Zinon's golden tail pierced him, knocking him to the ground.
"Haha, you idiot, did you really think I would let my guard down with you here!?" Zinon laughed maniacally when he saw her look of disbelief.
"And you thought I would make such a bad surprise attack?" A playful voice echoed from behind Zinon.
Zinon's eyes and witnessed how the figure impaled on her tail began to melt into a black matter!
They played it on me!
Zinon moved his divine power abruptly and created a rudimentary shield, slowing down the golden sword that was going for his neck.
Thanks to that, Zinon managed to escape from her with only a cut on his neck that she could heal.
"Oh, you dodged that, what a shame~" Derick smiled. He was enjoying the hunt for the prey before his eyes.
"Damn bastard!" Zinon cursed, but strangely, a smile appeared on her face.
Derick frowned. He had been observing Kayla and Zinon's group for a while before attacking and knew that this woman was quite expressive.
"You must be wondering why he smiled right?" Zinon noticed his confusion and his smile widened.
"Tell me, did you really think I stayed an hour without doing anything?" Zinon asked as he put both of his hands together.
Do not tell me!? Derick realized and tried to run, but it was too late.
Before he knew it, several golden chains wrapped around his leg!
Derick saw the golden magic circle under his feet and wanted to curse for the first time in a long time.
"You!" Derick looked at Zinon with anger and some fear as he used all of his strength to escape.
Even his body had gained a red aura and he used several shadow attacks to attack the chains, but they never broke.
"Haha, idiot, that divine diagram is a sixth level one, he won't be able to break it" Zinon smiled as her three tails wrapped around each other, all of them pointing at Derick.
"Six... Sixth level!?" Desperation could be seen on Derick's face.
In this world, something ranked at the sixth level indicated that he would work with everything below level 500 and he was just reaching level 300...
"Ahhh shit, you made me do this, slut!" Derick decided what he had to do when he saw how Zinon's tails began to glow brightly.
If he couldn't escape, he could only fight.
The shadow of him began to expand and twist, forming the figure of the head of a ferocious puma-like beast.
"Haha, let's see if your little animal can save you from my final attack!" Zinon smiled as her tails were now so bright they could light up a house at night.
"Holy destruction!"
A beam of light of three colors, green, gold and red, quickly advanced towards Derick.
The lightning bolt was as sharp as the wind, as fast as lightning, and as hot as a volcano... That was the attack that Zinon spent months developing!
Although Derick wasn't going to sit still. The giant shadow beast opened its mouth and attempted to swallow the three-colored lightning!
But within seconds, the beast began to swell and explode!
Letting the lightning pass through and hit Derick!
"Fuck!!" Derick's scream echoed for a moment before disappearing.
Bamm!!
"Hah... Finally... I killed him" Zinon was out of breath. That attack had drained all of his divine energy.
"Though wow... It sure is powerful" Even Zinon was surprised when she saw the gigantic crater she had left in the forest.
The consequences of that attack were great. The crater was one hundred square meters and several trees in the vicinity were destroyed by the shock wave. Zinon sincerely hoped that the forest could recover from the damage...
"Though now is not the time to worry about the forest..." Zinon shook his head and walked towards Kayla.
"Girl, I'm sorry for being so slow..." Zinon sighed as he removeb the barrier and picked up Kayla.
She walked slowly through the destroyed forest in search of a temporary shelter...
