Chapter 15: New Mission to player and NPC
{With Hiko}
"Am I lost?" Hiko asked herself with uncertainty in her voice
Her wings flap every few minutes making her figure stay put in the air. Below, her feet is a ruin city, the building were burn and crush by the demon king attack
Fortunately the demon king was already dead, killed by Hiko Elemental attack, and why did she ask if she was lost?
She can fly and has a mental map skill, so why did she ask herself about that?
The answer to that question is simple...it's the annoying cursed [Low Intelligence] That made her say that
"..." Hiko was speechless, she clearly knows where she is with the help of her Mental Map and her memories slowly recovering her past life memories
'Heaven city, i remember it now' Hiko thought to herself, thanks to her Intelligence being high, she could now remember her past life more clearly, what was weird was that, she still couldn't remember how she died or what happen that made her mother go to the hospital
Hiko didn't ponder on it, she didn't want to remember it. Who would want to relive a horrible moment of their life? Not her beside she is a grown adult in her mind and soul, only her body is young
"Vinny-chan~ where did you go?~" Hiko cutely exclaim, her cute and naive behaviour would make anyone want to protect her
Hiko cringes at herself when she heard, what she had said
'Where did Vinny go? I search everywhere, yet I didn't find her' Hiko exclaim in her mind
She flapped her wings behind her, as her figure fly through the wind, as she pass by the ruin city and players below her
'She did say, that she was going to go somewhere and told us not to follow her a while ago before the demon king attacked...did she discover the tracker I put on her and destroyed it?' Hiko thought,
She observe the ruin city below her, she use analysis on everything below her, as the Status panel after status appeared in front of her, Hiko gazes at the name before closing them one by one, if she didn't find the name familiar she would immediately close them without hesitation
If she couldn't find Vinny or Emily today, she planned to go to the adventure guild, but for now her main focus is finding Vinny, if she couldn't do that until nightfall then she might as well go do that building and let Vinny find her
it's totally not because she's lazy, absolutely not, she could find information about the Anti-Saperation skill and also evolve her skill to Transcendence rank while waiting for Vinny to find her in the Adventure guild,
its basically killing three bird with one stone, she could find information, evolve her skill and let Vinny find her in the Adventure guild, its better to do this then mindlessly fly in the air and hope to find them
There is a chance that Emily got seriously injured by the demon kings attack, and Vinny might be helping Emily with her injuries
'I continue flying around for now and see if I could find them' Hiko exclaim in her thought
She zoom across the sky as sonic boom echo throughout the devastated city, Hiko continuously use Analysis, hoping to find Vinny or Emily, several Status Panel appeared in front of her as she look through them, one by one before closing it
She did this for several hours until the sun is gone and is replace by the beautiful moon that shine in a brilliant yellow light, even after searching all night she still didn't have a clue on where Vinny had gone to
So she give up on searching for them and decided to go to the adventure guild. She gazes at the sign above the building as it read 'The Adventure Guild' even though its night time, the Adventure guild is still open,
Hiko open her inventory and pull out her Adventure card, she stare at it carefully with her innocent gaze
[Adventure Card
Name: Hiko Yokai
Race: Human
Class: Elemental Mage
Age: 7
Skill: Elemental Magic. ]
"Seven years old?" Hiko innocently exclaim
Hiko was confuse on why it says 7 years old when she is clearly 1 years old physically speaking. She flip the Card and saw something interesting behind it
[ VIP ]
[ Very Important Person ]
'Eh? VIP? When did this got added?' Hiko exclaim in her mind, she doesn't remember this feature in the game
Hiko shock her head and didn't ponder on it, right now she has more important thing to do, like checking out the Adventure guild. Let's just hope no perverted guy or girl is inside
...
Hiko slowly open the door and took a peek inside, there she saw several table and chair line up on the right side, in front of her is the staff counter or the receptionist whatever you call it
There were only a few people inside the Adventure guild, including the staff and the reception lady on the counter, most of the adventure seems to be sleeping on the table or on the floor without any shame for their behaviour, while the awake adventure were either counting money, reading book or helping out their companion on the floor
'Are they drunk?' That was the first think Hiko had thought when she saw this scene
The receptionist lady seem to have notice Hiko small figure across from her
"Little girl! It's dangerous to be alone at night," The receptionist lady sweet voice sounded out towards her
"Come inside, it might be dangerous outside" The receptionist lady warned Hiko of the danger pose from the outside
Hiko just cutely nodded at her word, she entered inside and gently close the door behind her
The receptionist lady upon seeing Hiko enter, made her relief, she doesn't know why, but she had this feeling of wanting to protect this little girl from danger
"Where are your parents? Aren't there suppose to protect you, from the danger outside?" The receptionist lady asked Hiko
"What are parents?" Hiko innocently exclaim, her pointer finger were cutely place on her chin as her face showed a confuse look, as a imaginary question mark above her head
'...' Hiko didn't know whether to laugh at her own word or not, she clearly knows what parents are, and yet she unwillingly said she didn't know what those words were,
Her cursed [Low Intelligence] is really good at making her annoyed, she would be fine if her behaviour was just childish but she's isn't okay with the way it change her sentence to a childish one
The receptionist lady felt sad that Hiko doesn't know what the words 'parents' are, how could they abandon such a cute little girl?
"*sigh* could you tell me your name?" The receptionist lady asked,
"My name is Hiko Yokai!" Hiko introduce herself loudly, fortunately it didn't wake the drunk adventure on the floor and table
The other adventure didn't seem bother about her loud introduction, they probably had this incident several time for them not to be bothered
The receptionist lady nodded in understanding and gesture for Hiko to come closer towards the counter where she is currently is inside
Hiko comply and walked closer towards the receptionist lady, she stopped in front of the receptionist lady. And cutely stare at the receptionist lady
*Plap*
The receptionist lady petted Hiko's head without warning, she continue petting Hiko's head without any shame
"Ahmm...can I join the adventure guild?" Hiko innocently asked the receptionist lady
The receptionist lady look at Hiko with a serious expression "You want to join the Adventure guild?" She repeated Hiko's words
Hiko nodded "Mhm" with a cute hum
The receptionist lady shock her head "Hiko-Chan, you can't be a adventure until you reach 15 years old" She gently explained the rules to her
Hiko's expression didn't change, she put her hand inside her 'pocket' and pull out a card towards the receptionist lady in front of her
[Adventure Card
Name: Hiko Yokai
Race: Human
Class: Elemental Mage
Age: 7
Skill: Elemental Magic. ]
The receptionist lady seem a bit confuse at her action but when she read the content of the card, she was shock.
The receptionist lady grabbed the card and took a closer look, with her own two eyes.
"[Observe]" The receptionist lady muttered under her breathe, a moment later her eyes widen with surprise and a hint of fear was visible in her expression
The receptionist lady quickly bow her head against the counter as it ,are a bang sound
*bang*
"I'M SORRY FOR BEING RUDE MISS YOKAI" The receptionist lady asked for forgiveness, sweat seem to be pouring down in her head, her body tremble uncontrollable
Hiko stare at her cutely, her eyes shine brightly as the whole room becomes quiet,
Everyone was now staring at Hiko's figure with a weird gazes, they were wondering why the receptionist lady is bowing in front of her and asking for forgiveness
The receptionist lady on the other hand was getting nervous, every second that pass was torture for her, if she had known who this little girl is, she wouldn't have acted like the way she did
When she casted her [Observation] Spell on Hiko's Adventure card, it showed this
[Name: Hiko Yokai Adventure Card
Grade: S+
Type: Artifacts
Description: Anyone who possess this adventure card is a powerhouse and should not be underestimated no matter what
Effect 1: ????????
Effect 2: ????????
Effect 3: ????????
Effect 4: ???????? ]
In all her time as a receptionist lady, she had only encounter two people who had this particular adventure card
The first time she encounter such a person, she didn't take the Description seriously but now, when she witness the overwhelming power of such person, she of course wouldn't underestimate this little girl
She may be cute and innocent looking but she know that she shouldn't be underestimate,
"It's okay! " Hiko forgive the receptionist lady, she doesn't know why she is apologising but she still forgive her since she didn't do anything wrong to her
*step* *step* *step*
Several footstep could be heard behind Hiko, she turn around and saw four people approaching her with a friendly smile on their face
"The Player"
Hiko stare at the nametag above the man's head, 'The Player? Why would he choose that name tag?' Hiko didn't think much about it, there were more ridiculous name tag and this one is just average in her opinion
The four people stopped just a few meters away from Hiko
"Sorry for interrupting" The man exclaim
Hiko stare at them with strange gazes 'Three NPC girls and one boy that is a player, is he trying to make a harem or something?' Hiko guessed in her mind
The player had short black hair and blue eyes, he wore a grade D leather clothing, there is also a sword attached to his hips, it's grade are C
"What is it?" Hiko said, wanting to know what they wanted from her
'He isn't planning on making me join his harem right? No way, right? Right?' Hiko pray in her mind that it isn't what she is thinking
"My name is The Player, but you can call me player, beside me are my teammates" The Player introduce himself while gesturing for the lady's to introduce themselves
One of the girl stepped forward, she had long blond hair, her blue eyes shine brightly, she seem to be a Priest judging from the way she dress
"I am Aurora Clair, I am a priest, its nice to meet you" Her voice was gently and calm, as it mesmerise the people who heard her voice
Then another one stepped forward with loud step, she had red spiky that reach to her shoulder, red eyes and she wore red armor, she seem to be a Berserker class judging from her clothes and behaviour
"Names Saki Nolan! The Berserker class, it's good to meet you" her voice was rough but also gentle at the same time
And finally the last lady stepped forward with quiet step: she had a black hood on her head as strings of black hair were barely visible, her eyes were black and she wore a black ninja clothes and it seem to reveal some of her skin, especially her big chest,
"I'm Tara O'tero, a Assassin" She spoke softly, it could barely be heard by the receptionist lady across the counter
After the four people introduce themselves, Hiko smile confidently
Hiko Unfolded her wings and spread them as far as she can, her wing expanded and reach the height of a adult human the same goes with the length her angel wings
She raise her hand as if she was asking for a hug "I Am Hiko Yokai! It's Nice to Meet You!" Hiko introduce herself, her cute and childish behaviour seem to have charm everyone in the room, and the massive wings behind her had mesmerise The Player and the others that were paying attention to this scene
Hiko folded her angel wings, as some of her feathers were blown towards Player in front of her
The Player caught the Feathers with his right hand and curious stare at it
"System, check this item" Player muttered under his breathe
[Name: Angel Feathers
Grade: S+
Type: Artifacts
Description: Could be use to craft a Supreme type potion or evolve your skill to advance or peak rank
Effect 1: Passively regenerate 40% of your HP]
His eyebrow raise and his hand tremble with excitement, he never thought that this feathers could do this much! The way he looked at Hiko had change
"Thank you for the gift" He thanked Hiko for her generous gift
Hiko look at him with a Innocent smile, 'I know that Greedy look..he's gonna use me isn't he?' She exclaim in her mind
In her past life, she often met people that want her money, they often try to convince her to stop spending it on her mother hospital bills, she of course got angry at them, in fact she had almost beaten them to death if it wasn't for his friend 'Charlo' stopping her from doing that
"Player-Chan! Do you know a skill name 'Anti-Saperation'? If you do, then please tell me about it!" Hiko innocently exclaim, since his using her, she might as well use him
"Anti-Saperation? Do you mean this?" The Player pull out something from his pocket and showed a scroll
'[Analysis]' Hiko immediately use analysis on the scroll without a second thought
[Rank: None
Name: Anti-Saperation
Grade: C
Type: Skill Scroll
Description: You body is attach and no one can saperate it below grade C
Requirements: Your power level must be grade C or Above]
Hiko's eyes sparkle with joy upon seeing the last important skill needed for the condition of [Return Home]
Her hand were extended towards the scroll, but The Player immediately put it back in his pocket, his action had made Hiko dissatisfied and annoyed
"Ughmhm" Hiko cutely grunted silently
The Player smile when he saw her like that "If you want it, then you need to do something for me first!" He exclaim
A blue panel appeared in front of Hiko
"DING!"
"Individual 'The Player' has invited you to join his Team"
"Would Individual 'Hiko Yokai' Accept?"
Hiko stare at it before looking at him
"You are a angel race right? I desperately need a long range teammates to help in our quest" He explained to Hiko,
He didn't lie, he really does need a long range companion in his side,
"In return you will give me that skill scroll right?" Hiko naively said
He nodded at her word, "Of course"
'Ughhh, I really don't want to join his team...but I need that skill! My mother is still in the hospital and half a year had already pass in the real world, if I delay anymore, she might.... ' Hiko didn't finish that thought, she's afraid, she might jinx it and something bad might happen to her mother
After some hesitation, she finally give in and accepted the invitation of The Player
"DING!"
"Individual 'Hiko Yokai' has join your team"
He smile at that Notification
"Now give me that Skill Scroll!" Hiko demanded
He shock his head, he pull out the skill scroll and handed it towards Hiko, she snatched it and activated the content of the scroll without hesitation
Suddenly a purple magic circle appeared below her feet, as chain quickly flow out of the magic circle and wrapped around her body tightly
"!!???" Hiko is caught off guard, she immediately activated Analysis on the 'skill scroll' in her hand
[Name: Slave Contract
Grade: S+
Type: Supreme Scroll
Description: Anyone who activate this scroll will immediately be a slave to individual 'The Player' it takes 30minutes to make the victim completely loyal and obedient
Requirements: Needs the victim willingness to activate this Scroll]
Her eyes retracted in terror as she saw the content of this scroll.
"What is this!? (YOU BASTARD!!)" Hiko innocently exclaim, She tried to break free from the chain with all her strength
But all her struggle is meaningless in front of this chain, it instead wrapped around her more tightly then ever, causing her body to bleed
[-1 HP] [-1 HP] [-1 HP] [-1 HP]
[-1 HP] [-1 HP] [-1 HP] [-1 HP]
[One Second has Passed +15,6K HP]
[-1 HP] [-1 HP] [-1 HP] [-1 HP]
[-1 HP] [-1 HP] [-1 HP] [-1 HP]
[One Second has Passed +15,6K HP]
[-1 HP] [-1 HP] [-1 HP] [-1 HP]
.....
Hiko struggle with all her Strenght, despite her HP dropping rapidly, she didn't care her regeneration were higher then the damage she is taking
"Stop struggling, it's pointless" He exclaim with a sinister grin
Hiko cutely glare at him with her innocent Ruby eyes, if her cursed didn't change her behaviour to a more cute and innocent version, then her galre might have scared him and his companion
"Let me go! Let me go!" Hiko innocently shouted, she looked around her to find a way to escape but she notice that.
The receptionist lady wasn't there nor the adventure around her instead, only a few blood stain were there, it was as if, they all got assassinated by someone
" Where did they—" Hiko was interrupted by The Player
"Them? Hahahaha! They are already dead! Isn't that right, Tara?" The Player answered Hiko's question
Tara the Assassin appeared behind Hiko, "Yes Master" She confirmed
"..." Hiko stayed silent
'If only I had analyse the scroll again, then maybe I wouldn't have gotten myself in this situation' Hiko exclaim, she regretted her action, if only she analyse the scroll the second time, maybe this situation wouldn't have happened
But atlas she could only regret it and not do anything, she had been trying to escape this chain for a full 5 minutes already but she still couldn't do it
She had activated many of her skill in a attempt to destroy the chain but everytime she tried to do it, it would always failed
"[Limit Breaker]!!" Hiko exclaim and activated her skill
[Failed to activate [Limit Breaker] due to unknown reasons]
"It's useless! No matter what you do you won't escape! What don't you obediently be my slave?" He exclaim his tone were full of confident
Hiko gritted her teeth 'System...put all my status point on Strenght, Speed, Defence and offence...' She commanded the system
Originally she wanted to do this in a more private area, because she's afraid she might destroy her surrounding, but now she doesn't have much of a choice does she?
She doesn't want to become a slave do this person, and she clearly know what this Supreme Scroll is. If she remembered correctly, this scroll would make the NPC or Monster absolutely obedient to the Player, even if the player died and delete their avatar, as long as they don't delete their account, the NPC or Monster would still be their slave
The reason why she out all her status point on all her stats except Intelligence and Luck? The reason is simple! She simply doesn't want that higher being to punish her again just because she raise her Intelligence point
Beside she could just collect more Status Point by killing Monster, NPC and Players, so she's isn't stingy about her Status Point
[Putting 225,912 SP on Strenght, Speed, Defence and Offence, would you like to proceed?]
[ Yes / No ]
"yes" Hiko cutely muttered under her breathe
[Ding!]
[It is Detected that host has the title [Demon King]
[Would the host like to evolve to a World Enemy?]
'Yes' Hiko accepted with hesitation, she already know what a world enemy is
World enemy, once you become a world enemy, you will be very strong just like the demon king Hiko had defeated, although it was killed by her easily but if it were any other, like Vinny she would have a hard time despite being the Hidden Eight True Hero
Becoming a World Enemy would grant her various special innate skill, such as killing a monster lower then grade S with such her Aura alone, there are many more example but we won't get into too much detailed
The only down side is that everyone will know you and your achievements, either it be bad or good you will still be treated with hostility from the NPC and a bounty will be place on your head
[Are you sure you want to become a World Enemy?]
"Yes" Hiko confirmed
[Evolving to World Enemy, please be prepare for the incoming Pain]
Hiko could only gritted her teeth, she wanted to find a towel to bite on but, she couldn't move her body because of the chain that is tightly wrapped around her body..but all of that change as her body began to heat up at a abnormal rate
"What is—" Before The Player or the three NPC girl could react, Hiko body exploded destroying the entire building in just a few second
*BOOOOOOM*
A Pink Panel Appeared
[-999,999,999 Damage To 'The Player']
A Blue Panel Appeared
"The Player has been killed by 'Hiko Yokai'"
A Pink Panel Appeared
[-999,999,999 Damage to 'Aurora Clair']
A Blue Panel Appeared
"Aurora Clair has been killed by 'Hiko Yokai'"
A Pink Panel Appeared
[-999,999,999 Damage to 'Saki Nolan']
A Blue Panel Appeared
"Saki Nolan has been killed by 'Hiko Yokai'"
A Pink Panel Appeared
[-999,999,999 Damage to 'Tara O'tero']
A Blue Panel Appeared
"Tara O'tero has been killed by 'Hiko Yokai'"
The explosion had instantly killed them, while the Adventure guild is completely destroyed, the explosion doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping, it spread to other building around the adventure guild, it obliterated them without any resistance and went to expand like some kind of nuclear bomb
All of this happened in just a second without any delay
Time passed by, if we were to zoom out, we would see a massive mushroom cloud in the celestia kingdom, the people were running for their life, while the Knight helped the Civilian escape in a less chaotic environment
"What kind of attack is this..." The leader of the Knight exclaim, his body shiver at the power of this massive explosion, it had already destroyed the one of the biggest city in the celestia kingdom in just a few minute and now it's spreading across the small city and other big cities at a rapid rate, thankfully the mushroom cloud had stopped expanding and it seem to be fading into mana
Hiko, the cause of all the commotion is currently lying on the ground, unconscious, the pain she had felt was more then she could handle, and as a result she fainted
Fortunately the chain around her had been turn to dust, even the dress she had is gone, leaving her completely naked body 'vulnerable' to preying eyes of pervert, her ribbon was of course destroyed which made her twin tailed haired, loosened to a long haired one instead of the usual twin tailed style
"Hiko.....Hiko....Hiko...your really amazing...." A childish female voice sounded out loud
She had long yellow hair just like Hiko and Crimson red eyes just like Hiko, except it doesn't have any joy or light in it, she doesn't seem to be wearing anything
"I want you....I want your love...i won't let anyone grab it..." She muttered with a psychotic smile as a pink heart shape appeared in her eyes
She gently touch Hiko's lips and brought herself closer towards Hiko's mouth, she close her eyes and passionately kiss Hiko
*fwooosh*
Then her figure vanish in thin air without any explanation on why she had done that
"Hmm" Hiko hummed, her eyes opened slowly
She sit upright, she rubbed her eyes as if she had been sleeping for a while "what happened? " Hiko innocently asked herself,
The first thing she saw, was that she is inside a huge pit and everything around her is dark except the sunny sky above her head
"Ughmm" Hiko grunted in pain, she hold her head as she felt a headache
Memories of the action she did and the sudden extremely pain had resurface in her memories, including the explosion sound she heard and the bright light before she fell unconscious from the immense pain
Her eyes widen, when she remembered what had happened 'This...I didn't expect it, to be this big' she thought,
She never thought that putting all her SP on four of her stats would results in a big explosion , but she had no other choice, she didn't want to become a slave. She didn't regret doing what she had done, after all, she didn't kill anyone in the real world, she had only killed a 'few' players and NPC
Beside the player can just revive themselves but their stats would permanently be reduce to 1%, while the NPC can't revive themselves, without some kind of reviving Artifacts,
That was what Hiko thought, as she reassure herself of the choice she had made, it was either becoming a slave and not finding a way to use her Artifacts(Return Home) or destroying the entire city. And she choose the first option obviously
To Be Continue....
