People came to the noise, they carefully looked into the hole in the wall. They were waiting for the one who caused this commotion. A man in ordinary peasant clothes with a square face and a menacing expression walked through the crowd and stood in front of the hole. He opened his mouth and began to shout in a loud and commanding voice.
-Who are you? Come out! We know that you are here, if you are from the neighboring village, then it should pay us for the inconvenience caused by your pranks!
Some were ready and holding their swords. A silhouette appeared from the darkness... A huge animal with daggers holding milk cans. Seeing a huge silver fox, most people froze in place and did not dare to move, but that man's heart beat three times because he had seen this fox in missions to search for alive or dead... And as far as he remembered, according to the guard's assessment, she was level 6 adamantite rank, maybe even level 5 bronze rank. She was incredibly strong... stronger than everyone here. Looking at everyone present, he sighed to himself and shouted to his people.
-LEAVE! HURRY!
-What the... However, it's better for me! Ha-ha.
The fox looked around and didn't see a single living soul... It looks like it will be much easier this time! Right? The fox walked towards her base. Her pace was a little slower because she was afraid of damaging the precious milk. While she was walking, she saw a fire where she had seen many people, and now there were only those tubers of that plant.
-So that plant needs to be fried first? Interesting! How did people even think of that before...
While she was thinking about this, she almost crashed into a huge dark oak tree. But she managed to dodge at the last second. It was not in vain that she had been pumping up her agility.
POV Guardian
-[Star Refraction] Why do you need that milk, monster? You can obviously hunt yourself... But never mind. Your stupidity and decision to go to the village will ruin you again. Although I will have to leave this village for some time, I will be able to catch and skin this creature! Wait for me! [Calm reflection]
While running, she encountered trees, she chopped down more trees with her rapier, even though it was for stabbing strikes. Her strikes were incredibly strong and technical. After all, a huge number of months were spent on practicing this technique. She studied at the guard academy, where she was one of the weakest and because of this she had to study this lower art of wielding a rapier, but even such a bad technique in the hands of a master can become a formidable weapon.
-One, two, one, two, one, two
The sufferer's eyes caught an animal, it was not a fox, but this animal was blocking her passage. It was a wolf, it looked weak, and besides, it was unconscious and acted only on instincts, which meant it was level 8 and sometimes even 7.
-One, two, four!
At this speed, the previously used ability [Star Refraction] could no longer function normally for the guardian, this was quite expected. She deactivated the ability with a wave of her hand, but due to the extra movement and a slight change in the center of gravity, she almost lost her count, and after taking another ten steps, she resumed her count.
-Show me the way! Show me my goal! And guide me to it! [Star of Bethlehem]!
"Select a creature that you have already seen in order to track it."
After casting the spell, a small blue system window appeared, and a mechanical female voice sounded in the guardian's head. Every time she hears it, she shudders a little, because hearing someone's voice in your head is strange? Isn't it?
-Silver fox!
"Target: Silver Fox Martiza"
"Distance to target 5 miles"
"Move west, that is, forty degrees to the left"
-Excellent!
==========================================================================
It felt like one second had passed, although in fact it had already been 2 minutes. And now the guard was at the entrance to the cave where the fox had just entered. What surprised the guard was the huge ice wall that blocked the entrance. She was a little wary, but the fox had already dispelled the spell, so everything was fine! The guard was hiding behind a fallen tree. She was trying to gather information about this area. It's not always possible to visit such a wilderness.
"24 meters left to the target... 26 meters"
"Approach the target at a distance of less than 10 meters to receive significant increases in strength"
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
-Thanks, damn system! I already know that! Well then!
Entering the cave, she felt an incredible cold! Looking in different directions, she saw a lot of magical metal! Such resources were worth their weight in gold! Her rapier was made using exactly this metal. Even though the rapier was only made with a ratio of forty to sixty, forty percent was magic metal, and sixty percent was silver, the rapier was incredibly strong!
"There are 9 meters left to the target"
"Agility, strength, reaction increase by 50%"
In the pitch darkness of the cave, only magic metal was visible, so it was quite difficult to notice the fox even at such a small distance. After three steps, she saw the familiar ice daggers. Taking the stance "zero" she suddenly ran at "one" "two". Her speed was faster than before! [Calm reflection] increased her stats by about 30%, and now her stats increased by 50%! In the blink of an eye, she appeared in front of the fox. There was a lewd smile on her face. She really liked the fact that the fox would most likely be able to dodge, which meant the fight would be interesting!
-Four!
-Ho? BOOOM
BOOM
-Ten... Phew, that was close!
Comet fly! Many lights illuminated the cave at that moment. Small comets began to fly in the direction of the fox. Three comets were very close to the fox at once. The fox had to dodge them in this narrow cave. She dodged to the right, to the left, and back. One comet almost kissed the fox's face with its tip, but she managed to put up an ice wall that blocked the comet, although it immediately exploded. The fox dodged the guard's attack without stopping to breathe. Most of the launched comets had already exploded in the cave. The guard stood and watched it all. A strange lust was visible in her gaze. She put her rapier in its sheath and began to touch herself with her hands in strange places. She really liked watching this from afar. As if drunk, she saw everything in slow motion and this really excited her. She moved her legs, touched her sides with her hands, and her gaze became glassy. But she did not stay in this state for long. Her hands returned to their usual places in the stance, and she put her still wobbly legs in their usual position. Her gaze was not visible. And her mouth only said...
-One, two....
Her legs buckled and she fell to the floor. She began to lick her finger, and she herself was shaking. The fox stood and looked at all this, not understanding what was happening. Are all people this weird?
-You know, little fox... I like fighting you! When you're level 4, usually nothing happens in your life! Especially at the border! Strange, huh? It seems like there's a forest here and all that... But demons don't care about the borders at all! They're interested in the capital, and that's the only place where they can find some kind of entertainment! And there was nothing interesting here before you came! Those rabbits that attacked recently don't have normal intelligence! They may be stronger than you, but it's much less interesting to fight them! After all, they'll die from one attack! And you... You were able to dodge so many of my attacks and still stand on your paws! That's an honor! Although I think all the credit goes to your ability? That's true! But it's yours! That means you're so strong! It's a good thing I'm wearing armor now... I don't think I could hold back.... but I think it's time to finish you off... [Flickering Blade]
-[Zero Time]
-Hooo~ You survived again....
Opening her face, she saw the scarlet hair of this child. The guard's gaze became more serious, and she herself tensed up. This is just a coincidence? Right? That's what the guard thought at that moment. After looking at the child for a couple more seconds, child opened her eyes the left eye was icy. No matter how strange it looked, it shimmered blue and exuded cold, just like the fox. And most likely, she does not see with this eye. And the right eye was ... also scarlet. Fear and a plea for help were read in it.
-But ... Scarlet eyes and scarlet hair ...
