"No one is allowed to move until he comes here." Fubuki confidently announced.
The bandits boss was confused as to why his axe was suddenly stopped, but his overconfidence and arrogance caused him to ignore this. "Who do you think you are to order us around, I will deal with you first..."
As he was about to charge towards Fubuki, her slender figure striked his eyes making him almost trip on his steps as he stopped immediately.
Licking his lips he said. "I think I changed my mind, I might just keep you for myself. What do you think about it kukuku."
The man's lustful gaze made Fubuki feels disgusted. Now she was looking down on the man as if he was nothing but a warm. "Disgusting, one single person is allowed to look at me like that and it's definitely not you. Lower your head, trash!"
Feeling underestimated and looked down upon, a vein couldn't help but appear on the side of his forehead. "Bitch, by force it is then. So be it! Im going to enjoy sharing you with all these men here after breaking you to pieces. DIE!"
Now resolved to heavily injure Fubuki in order make her unable to move or resist, he charged at her with rage swinging his huge axe.
Unfortunatly for him not even two steps into action, he found his face smashed directly into the ground by some sort of invisible force. No matter how much he tried to resist it and move his limbs he ended up failing, it was as if he weighted hundreds of tons.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? DID YOU POISON ME, WHEN DID YOU DO IT?!" The boss complained.
As he was about to order his men to attack Fubuki instead, all of them found themselves in the same situation as him, frozen and unable to move, what they failed to see was the green aura surrounding them, showing Fubuki's powers in action.
"Huh, poison you? I dont need poison to deal with the likes of you. Trash is trash so stay in your place and wait for master to come here in order to decide what to do of you." Fubuki arrogantly provoked, but the boss was in no situation to trash talk or respond. After all his life was on the line right now and he was litteraly unable to do anything.
Witnessing all of this, the noble man Felix who was the bandit's target finally could take in some air and breath, and now he had hope to live. Although he lost his most trusted servant, at least he was still alive.
Gathering his resolve, he stood on his feet slowly walking to the beatiful young woman that saved his life.
"Um, t-thank you so much for saving my life is there a-anythi..." Felix was suddently cut right in between his words.
"Please stay right there, you can thank my master when he is here, he's the one to save you not me. Also dont speak to me right now, my hands are full." Fubuki said while concentrating her powers in order to keep the bandits from moving.
"O-okay..." He shrunk back to where he came from.
'Who is her master, someone as strong and young as her has so much potential. I just wish I had someone like her working for me.' Felix thought, making his business man mind into work.
'Maybe I can ask him to give me her contract for a price, I need a bodyguard at least as strong as her. Today's events are proof of that.'
Coincidentally, right after those thoughts, three people joined the clearing from the thick forest trees, all of them look very young, even younger than Felix.
-General POV-
Nouflex stood at the edge of the clearing, his otherwordly attire drawing everyones attention, from his weird clothes 'The nikes' up to the white blind fold covering his eyes, surveying the scene with calculated precision.
The forest was eerily silent, the only sound being the occasional rustle of leaves. Fubuki stood in the center of the clearing, her outstretched hand shimmering with psychic energy, and the bandits were frozen in place, encased in a thin layer of almost invisible green force.
To her left, undoubetly a nobleman, assuming from his clothes compared to the normal folks in the city. He looked disheveled and shaken, his once pristine attire now dirtied and torn. His eyes were wide with a mixture of fear and relief, fixed on the supernatural woman who had just saved his life.
Nouflex, accompanied by Ayanokoji and Ringo Ohoshi, stepped forward with an air of authority. His summons moved silently behind him, their loyalty and readiness palpable in their eyes.
"Fubuki." Nouflex called out, his voice steady and commanding. "Report."
Fubuki turned to him, keeping her hand up as well as her focus on the spell. "Master, I arrived just in time. These bandits were about to execute this man, in total 6 casualities. 5 royal guards and a man. I have neutralized the threat."
Nouflex nodded, then shifted his gaze to Felix. "Who are you, and why were you targeted?"
Felix swallowed hard, his eyes darting between Nouflex and the frozen bandits. "I... I am Felix Donefiere, recently appointed as a noble in the Daloria Kingdom by the king for my achievements. There are many who would benefit from my demise, but I cannot say exactly who is responsible."
Nouflex frowned, processing the information. He turned to Ayanokoji, whose analytical mind was always a step ahead. "Ayanokoji, what do you make of this?"
Ayanokoji his expression calm and unreadable. "It's clear that this was a targeted attack. The bandits were hired by someone with resources and influence. We should interrogate them to find out who their employer is."
Nouflex agreed. He then addressed Ringo, who was already scanning the area for any additional threats. "Ringo, secure the perimeter. Ensure there are no more surprises."
'I can easily do that with my haki but, Ringo might just feel uselss compared to the others if I dont assign her any mission.' Nouflex thought to himself.
Ringo nodded as she smiled brightly for receiving her first mission from Nouflex and swiftly moved to carry out his orders.
As Ringo began tapping on her super intelligent computer scanning the whole area securing the whole place, Nouflex walked over to the bandit boss, a towering, muscular man with a barbaric presence. He knelt down, squating, his gaze piercing into the bandit's eyes.
"You will tell me who hired you, and you will do so quickly. Your life depends on it." Nouflex ordered ignoring all the other bandits trapped, a small freindly smile on his face, but the bandit boss did not seem to like it.
The bandit boss sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "You think you can scare me, little man? I don't spill my guts for anyone."
Nouflex's eyes narrowed. He turned to Fubuki. "Make him talk."
Fubuki stepped forward, her eyes glowing with psychic energy. She raised her hand, and the bandit boss began to writhe in pain as invisible forces crushed him from all sides. His defiant expression twisted into one of agony, but he still refused to speak.
"You have a strong will." Fubuki said coldly. "But everyone has a breaking point."
She intensified her psychic assault, lifting the bandit boss off the ground and contorting his limbs in unnatural angles. His screams echoed through the clearing, a testament to his pain.
Finally, unable to endure any longer, the bandit boss gasped out, "Alright, alright! I'll talk!"
Fubuki released him, and he fell to the ground, panting heavily. Nouflex knelt down again, his expression unforgiving. "Speak."
The bandit boss, now visibly shaken, muttered, "It was Duke Reinhard. He's a powerful noble in the Daloria Kingdom. He paid us well to kill the new noble and make it look like a robbery gone wrong. That's all I know, I swear!"
Nouflex turned his attention to Felix, seeking clarification. "Does this Duke Reinhard mean anything to you?"
Felix took a deep breath, steadying himself. "Yes, Duke Reinhard is a known power player in the kingdom. He has a lot of influence and resources. It's not surprising he would try to eliminate competition."
'A noble trying to kill a newly appointed noble? Hum, interesting things are going on...' Nouflex rubbed his chin while thinking.
Nouflex ended up nodding, processing the information. He then looked at Ayanokoji.
"Ayanokoji, see if you can extract any more useful information from him."
Ayanokoji stepped forward, his calm and analytical demeanor unwavering. "Understood, Nouflex-sama." He turned to the bandit boss, his voice cold and detached. "Tell me everything you know about Duke Reinhard's operations. His allies, his resources, his plans. Leave nothing out."
The bandit boss, still trembling from the pain inflicted by Fubuki, stammered, "I-I don't know much. We were just hired hands. But I heard rumors... whispers among the men. Duke Reinhard is planning something big. He's been gathering support from other nobles, preparing for... something."
Ayanokoji pressed further, his gaze piercing. "What about his weaknesses? Does he have any vulnerabilities we can exploit?"
The bandit boss shook his head. "I don't know. He's cautious, always covers his tracks. But... but there's a merchant he trusts, a man named Lorcan. He handles a lot of the Duke's dealings. If you find Lorcan, you might find more answers."
Ayanokoji glanced at Nouflex, who gave a subtle nod. "That's enough," Nouflex said, his voice devoid of emotion. "You've served your purpose."
The bandit boss's eyes widened in realization, and a look of hope crossed his face. "Thank you, I gave you everything I know, now let us go."
Nouflex's expression remained cold and indifferent. "Who said anything about letting you go? Fubuki, kill them all."
The hope on the man's face drowned in a sea of deception, fear and a sense of betrayal. He felt his words stuck in his throat as he began shaking hearing Nouflex order her to kill them, losing control of his whole body, he suddently wet his pants.
Fubuki stepped forward, her psychic energy flaring up once more. The bandits, sensing their imminent doom, began to panic. Some tried to flee, their efforts were in vain, while others begged for mercy.
But Fubuki, unwavering in her loyalty to Nouflex, did not hesitate. With a wave of her hand, she unleashed her psychic power, lifting the bandits into the air and crushing them with invisible force. Their screams echoed through the forest, a chilling reminder of Nouflex's cold resolve.
As the last of the bandits fell silent, Nouflex turned to Felix, who looked both horrified and grateful.
"As for you..." Nouflex began, his voice steady and commanding, "Who exactly are you again? And why were you targeted?"
Felix took a deep breath, straightening his tattered clothes as best he could. "I am Felix Donefiere, a newly appointed noble in the Daloria Kingdom. My family has long served the kingdom, but my recent appointment has stirred up quite a bit of envy and anger among other nobles who would never accept a commoner to become at teh same status as them. It appears one of them, Duke Reinhard, saw fit to eliminate me as a threat."
Nouflex listened intently, his expression unreadable. Felix, sensing an opportunity, continued, "I must say, I am impressed by your strength and the loyalty of your... companions. Such power and devotion are rare. I would be honored if you and your team would consider working for me as my personal bodyguards. I can pay you handsomely."
Nouflex's eyes narrowed slightly. "I appreciate the offer, Felix, but I have to decline. I do not work for people no matter who they are and I cannot be swayed by gold or titles."
Felix's eyes flicked to Fubuki, who stood close to Nouflex, her gaze unwavering and full of pride. "And what about her?" He asked, gesturing toward Fubuki. "She calls you master. Is she your servant?"
Nouflex glanced at Fubuki and then back at Felix. "Yes, she is one of my servant and bodyguard. What about her?"
Felix, seeing a potential opportunity, pressed on. "In that case, perhaps I could hire her instead. I am willing to pay a substantial sum for her services."
Before Nouflex could respond, Fubuki stepped forward, her eyes blazing with indignation. "I would never work for anyone else but Nouflex-sama, my master." She declared arrogantly. "The very idea disgusts me. I belong to Nouflex, and he owns me. I serve him and him alone. You could not afford to buy my loyalty, nor could you command it. I would rather die than serve another."
Felix recoiled slightly at the intensity of her words, clearly taken aback by her fierce loyalty and disdain for his offer. "I... I see." He stammered, realizing he had misjudged the situation.
Nouflex, his expression cold and resolute, nodded in agreement. "You see, Felix,nor these people nor me are for sale..." Nouflex watched Felix carefully, assessing the nobleman's situation and potential.
Felix might have seemed weak and desperate now, but his position and connections could prove useful. Interesting things would likely happen around him in the future, it probably would be advantageous to stay close to him. Not to work for him, but to keep a watchful eye and potentially benefit from his resources.
'Okay, guess im gonna stick with it for now!' Nouflex thought to himself.
"Felix..." Nouflex began, his tone firm but measured, "It's decided, I will stay by your side for now. Not as your bodyguards, but as an ally. Your position in the Daloria Kingdom and the events surrounding you are quite intriguing, and I can smell fun things approaching sooner or later."
Felix's expression wavered between relief and apprehension. "I appreciate your support, but..."
Nouflex's eyes narrowed, and he took a step closer, his gaze intimidating. "This is not a request, Felix. We will be staying with you, and you will accommodate us. Any complaints?"
Felix's reluctance was clear, but before he could voice it, Fubuki stepped forward, her eyes cold and dangerous. "Do you have a problem with that, Lord Donefiere?" She asked, her voice laced with a subtle threat.
Felix's shoulders slumped slightly. He knew he had no choice. They were too powerful, and any resistance would be futile. "No, no complaints," he replied, his voice resigned. "You are welcome to stay with me."
"Humph you should be grateful for the opportunity!" Fubuki added.
Nouflex nodded, satisfied with the response. "Good. We will discuss the details once we reach a safer place. For now, let us move."
"Y-yes... I was heading to meet my family in my new mansion at Daloria so lets continue there." Felix said.
As they began to make their way out of the forest, Nouflex's thoughts churned. Felix's fortune and connections could be useful for his own agenda. Staying close to him would provide opportunities to gather information and resources.
Felix, walking slightly ahead with a mix of fear and reluctant acceptance, couldn't help but glance back at Nouflex and his summons. The sheer power and unwavering loyalty they commanded were both awe-inspiring and terrifying. He knew that he had no choice but to comply, hoping that their presence would bring him safety rather than more danger.
Ringo who was watching silently alongside Ayanokoji stepped inside the cariage after Nouflex and Felix, sitting next to her master, while Fubuki sat next to Ayanokoji who now was driving the carriage in order to protect the group from any possible danger.
Their destination was Daloria, but their future... For now it is undetermined.
-Short flashback to Fubuki vs the bandits-
As Fubuki unleashed her psychic power, lifting the bandits into the air and contorting their bodies with invisible force, I watched with an intensity I had never known. Their screams, filled with agony and despair, echoed through the forest, a symphony of suffering that resonated deep within me.
I should have felt repulsed, horrified even. I had lived my entire life as a normal, average human, bound by the constraints of morality and empathy. But now, standing here, witnessing the raw power and absolute control I wielded through my summons, I felt something entirely different.
A twisted sense of superiority surged through me, an intoxicating realization that I was no longer bound by the same rules that had once governed my existence. The pain etched on the bandit's faces, the way they writhed and contorted in the air, struggling futilely against Fubuki's merciless grip... It was mesmerizing.
There was a cold, clinical detachment in her actions, a complete disregard for their suffering that should have been chilling, all of this just to complete my orders. It was exhilarating.
This is what true power feels like, I thought, a dark thrill coursing through my veins. To hold life and death in my hands, to command absolute loyalty and obedience. The new race I had become only amplified these feelings, stripping away the last vestiges of human warmth and replacing them with an icy clarity. But now, I realized, it wasn't just cold detachment I felt. It was genuine pleasure.
I watched as Fubuki tightened her psychic hold, her expression unwavering, and the bandit's screams reached a fever pitch. There was no remorse, no hesitation. My commands were absolute, and they were carried out with ruthless efficiency. It was then that I understood, this wasn't some transformation imposed upon me. This was my true nature, emerging from the depths of my being.
I had always been held back by the mundane constraints of my previous life, by the expectations and limitations of being human. But here, in this new world, with this new form, I was free. Free to embrace the darkness within me, to revel in the power and control I wielded.
The sight of the bandits' suffering, the knowledge that their fates were sealed by my will,it was a perverse, exhilarating thrill.

After everyone got on the carriage, I finally had a moment for myself.
I stepped away from the group, my footsteps crunching softly on the forest floor. With a deep breath, I spread both my arms wide, feeling the cold air against my skin. Ileaned my upper body backward, the weight of this new reality settling over me like a dark, exhilarating cloak.
A psychotic, almost orgasmic expression twisted myfeatures. my eyes, usually cold and calculating, now burned with a manic gleam.I threw my head back, my voice breaking the silence with a disturbing maniacal fervor.
"AHHHH, THIS FEELING OF BEING A GOD IS SOOO GOOD, IT TRULY IS ORGASMIC!"
The words echoed around me, resonating through the trees and disappearing into the night. I closed my eyes, savoring the raw, unbridled power that coursed through me. The sensation was intoxicating, more potent than any high I'd ever imagined.
I need more of this power...
