The cool wind blew back against my hood. It was one of those cloudy days I like so much.
Before me was the Divines Call Glyph, a formation of stone pillars right in the middle of the grasslands. One used to communicate with them divinities. If they wished to answer the call of course.
I always wanted to meet a Divine since I was a little girl.
Today I'm here on a very important mission from my mentor. May he rest in peace….
Wait a minute. Master is alive and immortal to boot so why am I wishing a swift death upon him?
What a ungrateful and horrible disciple I am. I should probably repent sometime later for my rude thoughts on the man who has given me everything.
Here under my dirty boots the grass ends and the gray stone begins. Some runes had been draw here for a long time now.
I finally completed my training as one of the legendary Blade Rends last week. A cadre of swordswomen all trained under the tutelage of the Grey Haired Immortal.
Master has trough the ages picked only girls since they can barely walk and trained each one for becoming the blade to represent his fighting style trough the land. And I'm the 69 generation, and youngest to master the Sword Rend at a mere nineteenth years old.
"Blessed you should consider yourself." And he was right really. After all I was nothing more than a little girl whom he just so happened to whim one day, to become the next Blade Rend.
My parents weren't thrilled giving away their only daughter though. Even to a living legend like master, and I wish they hadn't….
Huh? What am I thinking all of a sudden again? I'm nothing special and even master said so himself. Is only his tutelage what has made me who I am today.
Otherwise I'll probably be one of those breeding sows the tyrannical emperor rules forces all pretty ladies to become.
Yessss, I should be grateful for master intervention, and I should strive to show the kindness he has given me, unto anyone I come across my way. Now that master has finally released me into the world.
So onto the matters a hand. As a last act of kindness and to make sure I wet my toes-not drown. Master has called in a favor with an old friend of his.
The Dragon King Blasmel. Eminence and ruler of all Divines since Griffindel, the once acting Impure Terror of our world was defeated.
I really am blessed, to be given the task of watching over his daughter while she visits the mankind continent. A simple task that will enable me some real expertise other than training and studies.
I'm sure that if I did a good job I could even ask Blasmel to 'annihilate' the current pest-acting emperor of the Vil Empire.
Seriously I cannot count my blessings in one hand. To be aquantice with so many great figures, that I could literally call in a favor that would make the world a better place over my simple first quest.
Better give a good impression to the mighty Divines here. Now how did these runes start off again?
Part 2
The runes lit at last. Master taught me so many things but Divines summoning rituals wasn't one of them, so I had to engineer my way around this one.
Now to sit back and relax while they show up…?
Immediately after my tired butt was about to sit down, the runes brightened. The white clouds tainted an oppressive dark and a slit of light fifty meters tall opened before me.
The wind blew fiercely against my hood, revealing my black ponytail. I should've probably arranged myself better before this important meeting.
The slit cracked open like a portal and revealed the snout of a dragon. A gigantic red dragon barely fitting out the portal.
The red dragon Blasmel, ruler of all Divines and probably our world too, was now before me. If it wasn't because he's master friend, I'd probably be shaking in my boots.
His reptilian amber retinas shone with the brightness of a wild fire. His taloned feets stomped on the grass with a quake, right before the stone monument I had used for his summoning, where diminutive me stood. Descommunally huge wings wrapping around his hips and spiraling down to the grass.
Blasmel was a bipedal dragon variation. The kind that had derived from the constant assimilation of Griffindel power. His scale clad figure protounds in muscle mass that would put a body builder's to shame, if his dragon features and raw magic power wasn't enough already. He glared down on the pedestal and found me looking in awe at his majestic figure. Then he majestically addressed me.
"Are you the fool wife?"
"I'll flay you, fucking lizard…!" I blurted out, clearly not thinking any better who I was speaking with… I gone and goofed right off the bat haven't I?
"I'm sorry— I mean I'm so sorry!! I swear I didn't mean to offend you sir 'King of the World!' Is just that I get very sensitive when someone badmouths masters like that—but I guess you're his close friend so it should be only natural for you to say as you wish—so I'll shut up now and please forgive me!!" I prostrated like the cheap whore I was meant to be and begged for forgiveness. I swear I could hear a girl laugh coming from Blasmel shoulder as he himself blank-stared at me.
"What a peculiar one you are. I see now is no surprise, why the fool couldn't keep you leashed down like the others." His eminence the dragon king, appears to have an erroneous opinion of the man who has given me everything.
Maybe I should juuuust-quickly say something about it.
"Venerable dragon king, please don't speak ill of your magnanimous friend like that. Is a well known fact master trains all Blade Rend swordswomen to enforce justice trough the land, ever since he had aided you in deriving the fall of Griffindel. And is only by his selfless kindness that I can follow on my childhood dreams of becoming this world greatest heroine." I politely corrected the King of the World for his mistake on the way master has treated me so far.
I hope I'm not stepping out of line here, and I can swear a girl keeps laughing her ass off from his eminence shoulder.
"What Blade Rends swordswomen are you talking about? Your kin are known as 'The Grey Haired Immortal Wives' last I recall." Thinking this better, maybe I can take on this fucking lizard and make a purse out of him!
But my better thoughts kept the best of me from showing out, and I conformed by lowering my head in frustration. Seeing no response coming out of me, the dragon king continued.
"But I'm not here to question that fool methods. I wish for one thing and is to have my daughter walk the land of men in the safety only your kin can offer." The dragon king called my master a fool once again and I'm really starting to wish I bought a dragon slaying sword before coming here.
"I'm troubled by her loneliness recently and I wish for her to go out and make friends of her own, but I wouldn't dare risk her life on Malakia, the continent I rule over."
"So you wish to have her roam free here in Vilesia?"
"Yes, if you where and fail on your duty to protect her, at least I can rest assured she'll be able to defend herself from the fodder around here." The up for slaying piece of scale just declared the land of mankind as fodder territory. He's lucky I know I'm no match for him… Yet!
"Now enough hiding behind my back, Dragne. Come on out and introduce yourself to the fool wife."
At Blasmel request, someone jumped out of his shoulder with nimble simplicity, and landed right before me by a high that would've most likely broken anyone legs.
The ginger haired girl whom looked completely human for a dragon, said to me in a bright smile like I have never seen before.
"Nice to meet you oh Greatest Heroine. My name is Dragne Baleful. Youngest daughter of Blasmel Baleful and as you can tell by my appearance, I'm a demi human.
The part about being half human is something she didn't need to say for it to come across. I was expecting an alligator faced chubby girl with a timid personality by what master had filled in, but before me stood a beauty in borderline shameless wear.
Clear white skin and eyes that shone fire like her father, same reptile pupil to her eyes. She had vividly crimson red hair just as the color of Blasmel scales, and said hair lose till it reached her waistline.
Coming out her lower back was probably her most dragon defining feature.
A scaly red tail 7ft long till the tip, five inches wide where it protounds from her butt, with two inches tall many frills all the way from end to beginning of the tail, and thinning the girth more and more as you get closer to the tip.
She stood to 5 feet and 9 inches tall, and her body measures hit me as, bust 36, waist 24 and hips 36. It would be hard to imagine her as the inactive type with a hourglass figure like that.
But the thing that caught most my attention was her choice of clothing.
She wore a black sleeveless short top, showing at lot of underboob, but that had nothing on her skirt.
She was barefooted and wore a velvet red skirt loose like it was falling. It looked like something she was taking off and stopped doing so at 2/3 down her hips. Long enough to reach slightly over her kneecaps, but on the high end is just shameless. If it wasn't for that thick tail coverage I'll bet I could see most of her butt, but her front.
I can see her lower abdomen in full over the loosely skirt, and if I focus hard enough it feels like I can spot the beginning of her outer labia—
"Miss Heroine, where are you looking at? Perv." With a smug smile, the dragon princess caught me ogling her hypnotically exposed lower abdomen.
I heard from master that dragons are cold blooded, but demis of their kind are naturally hot blooded—what with all that breathing fire and stuff in a human body, so they tend to be very horny, but this one just called me the perv despite what she's wearing.
At least I button up my skirts when I wear them, not let them hang to half-way down my hips and pray the Divines that they don't un-mystically fall off. This feels like seeing that loose clothed delinquents style, but in a girl.
"I'm happy to meet you Dragne. My name is Mina Tron, the 69 generation of the Blade Rend masters." I tossed in an introduction to get away from her accusations.
"Ohhh, you mean those people whom daddy was just calling 'The Grey Haired Immortal Wives?'" It would seem being a fucker lizard runs in the family.
But I can put up with this. Master already when trough the trouble of introducing us, and is no like protecting her will be dangerous.
Nobody but us knows who she is in all Vilesia or why she's here, so beyond accompanying her to a walk or two on the woods, this should be a relatively easy job.
As I was convincing myself it wouldn't be polite to walk off on the lizard's, the dragon king spoke.
"I'll take it by your smile, that you're okay with this one, Dragne?"
"Yes daddy! I think I'm going to like miss Greatest Heroine a lot!" Is kind of embarrassing to have her call me like that, but I'm happy she likes me… Maybe I misjudged her, and she wasn't really being rude before on purpose, just a little spoiled.
"Very well then." Black aura began to gather around the dragon king for some reason…. Is that a darkness spell?
"Bear the pain. Share all. Bind shall you two be for as long as there's light. Forbearance Shackle." I let it happen as I didn't want to be any more rude and counter his spell, but I just heard something dreadfully wrong coming out of the dragon king mouth.
In an instant, a black haze danced around my neck and the dragon princess. It soon materialized into a dark chain of spikes, which went on to vanish just as fast as it formed.
"Any pain and sensation my daughter undergoes for the rest of her life, will now be yours to bear. This will ensure her safety as your top priority."
"Did you just curse me for life—what in hell's have you done!!?" I bursted in rage at the nonchalance of his eminence.
"Ah ha ha ha ha!" Besides us someone sounded like she was having the time of her life.
But this situation was nothing to laugh at. I came here for a bodyguard quest of a week or two, not throw my entire life away.
"You got to be joking here! I didn't sign up for a full time job! How am I supposed to fight the tyrannical emperor rule if I have to watch out for your daughter over the rest of my life!? How will I become the world's greatest heroine if I have to play babysitter!?"
"You won't do anything as outrageous as fighting no emperor, nor will you become anybody either. Your life meaning is now to care for my daughter and nothing else."
"You got to be kidding me you fucking lizard! I'll tell master about this I swear!" I felt like a little girl threatening to call daddy, and is kind of embarrassing but you can bet I will!
"The fool said to make your life a living hell so you would come crawling back to his 'sword' where you belong."
"WHAAAAATT!!?
"Ahaha Haha haaaaa!" The dragon princess was now rolling on the floor with her tail beating against the grass. How has her skirt not fallen off yet? And that accursed lizard is once more accusing master of unbefitting behavior!
"But I couldn't give less of a damn about his wishes. Individuals as powerful as you, politically handicapped under years of confinement and even naive enough to defend that fool, are hard to come by." The great dragon king looked away as if he was chewing something sour and spat a tremendous fireball which set the nearby hill on fire.
" Your master can screw his own scabbard for all I care, he should know better than to trust me with such a valuable asset." Is really refreshing to see friendship like this in this day and age.
"Wait please oh venerable dragon king! Ruining a mere girl life like that, such behavior is unfitting of someone like you!" If threatening doesn't work then a good blow to the old hubris could…
"Nothing really is beneath me, I'm just a fucking lizard anyways." I guess he was a little pissy after all, but the way he's all smug about it is really getting under my skin.
Ah what a waste, I can probably forget about calling any favors with this asshole. All this leaves me is…
"Ahhhhh ha ha ha haaaaa!" She really has been suffocating herself to tears there.
As I was holding my migraine, the fucking lizard produced a small bag on his claw and lowered for me to see.
"But your job won't come without its perks of course. Here's 3000 vils for your troubles." Vils, the common currency of the Vil Empire, but just 3K for a lifetime job… Is he giving me like an stipend?
I had to actually hop over the dragon claw before I could reach the pouch it was holding. After I collected my payment, I slid back on my stomach and stood on the grass.
Then as if out of spite, a bag of luggage materialized over the outstretched palm of the dragon.
"And these are my daughter's belongings. You shall not touch anything here or there'll be consequences." I shall touch everything later.
I jumped over the claw once again and dragged the heavy luggage with me. Then the dragon king began to stand up again as I got my hair out of my face, and he directed a gaze at his daughter.
"Call me if anything happens." With that he turns his back on us two and began walking for the portal of light.
I shouldn't say anything since he's not really my father, but that's a very cold way to say goodbye to your daughter.
The great dragon king made with earth shaking steps for the portal of light, then vanished.
I was left standing in the breezy hills as a wildfire had begun to spread my way, a girl with a dragon tail was fighting not to suffocate right besides me and defeat my new life purpose on the spot.
Part 3
A storm pours as I and Dragne walked the muddy road, soaked from head to toes.
After the dragon princess had finally managed to calm down from hysterical laughter, I urged her to come with me so I could fight the wildfire her father had started, but as we closed in on the fires, the storm started and we walked for nothing.
I guess today really isn't my day.
"We're gonna have a lot of fun being friends, miss Heroine!" Told me the princess with a happy skip to her feet.
Her luggage included nothing but unfit for wearing clothes so I had provide her with my fur-lined cloak.
She mechanically dropped my cloak after I handed it over, then sneezed fire over it. And when the rain began to put the flames off, she sneezed again.
I just began walking and she followed me. The storm would handle one more fire anyways, but now I'm really cold.
This girl was a demi dragon playing in the rain, but I'm just a normal human girl and this weather is still cold for me.
"And where would we be going in our merry way?" With her hands laced behind her back, she brought her happy face next to mine.
"There's a inn right ahead the road. We'll have a meal and a peaceful day today to chat, then we'll set for the town of Hillga." I said as I watched my surroundings and tried to figure out how far we where from the inn.
All around us tall grass and to my left I could spot the same wreath fields I had passed before. One decrepit old windmill situated nearby, spinning its life away.
If going by the landmarks, we should cross a bridge before I can see the inn over the distance.
Soon enough as we kept walking, we arrived at a wooden bridge crossing over the river rapids, now flooding because of the storm.
My last time here was early morning, before even the sun had begun to rise.
"Now, surround them!" I heard a shout as we walked the soaked planks.
Bandits, hiding in the tall grass and closing their victims on both sides of the bridge, leaving nothing but the river rapids as an escape alternative.
I had heard of them before when I was renting at the inn, but I guess I was up too early for the gentleman when I crossed over this morning.
The men drew their poorly sharpened swords and daggers at us.
"Boy look at the catch, that ponytailed girl sure is smoking."
"By Griffindel your right! One hundred percent whore material if I ever seen one!"
"Damn girl, one look at ya curves and I'm starving."
"Uhh, careful boys she has a sword on her hips. Tis one of those 'don't need no men types.' Bwuahahahh!"
"Hey girl, you right handed right? The sword goes on the left side of the hips, the left. At least know how to equip the weapon you use. Wuahahahh!"
"Women wielding a sword seriously, this empire has gone to shit since the last Vil took over. Come deleshus I'll give you something to wield with finesse!" As usual, the gentleman sure like to speak cordially around me.
"Hey, what about me?" The dragon princess shides in on the men talk. I guess it would be natural to say something about the way she's dressed, right? I can't be the only one, right?
"Oh hell no sweetie, you're a demi. One wrong move and you'll reach us over and snap our spines with that monster strength."
"Yeah girl, we like our spines nice and neatly and our girls weak and submissable so we'll be shipping you over for slavery. Thank you very much!" Slavery is illegal in the Vil Empire since the last jackass took over. Maybe I can pick on these gentlemen brains later so I can report their partners to the authorities.
I rested a hand on my sword, it would be only to give the bandits into the impression that I'm planning to fight though.
The Vil Empire enforces the law by branding heinous criminals with a cursed mark that will stop them from ever using magic again after they leave the first arrest. Ensuring they don't threaten anyone ever again.
That mark usually resides under the left eye and resembles a black gnash, but given the googles and fur hoods I would assume the gentleman are at least bright enough to hide their handicap. Though most likely what I suspect is what I see.
Without the ability to use magic they'll be easy picking for a Paralysis spell which even children are taught at school. So the numbers are, 1, 4, 9.
Nine bandits times two for the cost of paralysis would be an 18 of my total 105 mana. This won't even be a probl—
"I call upon the lord of the Divines! Great dragon daddy Blasmel come forth!" I was pulled right out of my thoughts to see the dragon princess had taken a medallion from her luggage and thrust it to the skies.
A bright light shone forth and a thunderous roar echoes, oppressive winds spiral like a storm was forming over the storm that was already going.
Humongous red wings wrapping around the body of a titanic dragon man as he stepped out of a portal.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" X9
Screamed the collective nine bandits who clearly didn't got out of bed this morning expecting to see the king of the world.
Blasmel eyes took a single look at us and the bandits before he kneeled down to grab us.
I fell my head spinning from the way we gained altitude, and then I heard the crushing sound of Blasmel tail wiping the wooden bridge to pieces—
"Whyyyyyyyyy!!?" I shouted back to the murderous lizard as now clearly there's no saving the bandits.
I looked down onto the rapids to see what looked like a an arm sticking out in a gruesome manner, before it was engulfed by the muddy water.
Blasmel carefully places us back on the road so as to not crush us under his ginormous grip.
"Why did you have to kill them!? They knew slavers and I could have captured them alive just fine…! You even destroyed the bridge, imbecile!"
"Yay daddy, you're the best! High five!" The lizard's high fived and then daddy lizard walked right through the portal whiteout even addressing me…
I'm seriously going to kill that fucker!
"Miss Greatest Heroine did you see that? I called upon daddy and he decimated the bad guys in seconds! Now you no longer need to be afraid of bad men doing unspeakable things to you anymore!" With the cheer of a little girl and big bright shinning eyes the dragon princess got all over my face.
So that huge jerk left her a way to call for help if things went south. He really meant it when he said to call him if something happened.
I guess with the way those bandits where speaking to me, Dragne being a princess and all, would get very nervous and call for help.
I need to have a long talk with her and explain how this is just the way horny males speak to me before we reach the inn and she summons Blasmel on a thirteen years old.
Part 4
We took a detour trough the woods.
The dragon king set us down on the wrong side of the rapids and now there wasn't any bridge left, then when I asked Dragne, she said she couldn't fly nor swim.
I mean, I can understand a princess not knowing how to swim, but I could swear master had taught me dragon demis could produce wings from their backs.
But she wouldn't lie to me, so is likely she doesn't even know she can do that if she's been sheltered too much.
Anyways, there's bound to be a way around here to cross. Is just a stupid rapids anyways, but I shouldn't force her to cross if it might scare her.
She's been looking at me incessantly as she's humming behind my back. Clearly she needed a friend in urgency if she's liking my company that much.
It was just as I was looking for a way past the rapids that I found one. One I can't really tell if it is a blessing or not.
There was a poorly constructed bridge across the river. It was however, right in the middle of what looked like a camp.
If going by the previous encounter, this should be the bandits camp we have stumbled upon.
I signaled for Dragne to follow me and hide behind a nearby tree, where I inspected the bandits camp.
There where six tents and two carriages laying about. Not a bandit to be seen, most likely taking shelter from the rain inside the tents. The cages used for capturing slaves are empty. Is a relief nobody has fallen victim to them recently…
This is a little troublesome. The bridge I need to get Dragne across the way is right there, but I'll be putting her in danger if I where to engage the bandits.
She said her dad summoning medallion needs time to recharge, so if I where to leave her behind, she might be at risk of someone sneaking up on her while I'm away…..
No, I have to do something. These bandits knew slavers, and they might run away before the guards get here if they find out what happened to their friends.
"I'll go make a way for us to cross over. Stay here and don't even make a sound. I'll show you what a Blade Rend can do." I whispered to the dragon princess who was nodding attentively as she pulled out a medallion…. Huh?
"Come forth the strongest dad ever! Blasmel!!" Dragne long tail stood right up and she trusts her medallion forth. A bright light followed by a thunderous roar booms.
"I thought that thing had a cooldown!" I shouted right as besides us the usual light tear opens up. This time Blasmel stuck out just his head and torso.
"Kill the bad guys daddy!" Daddy eyes shone fire and he spat a huge fireball that engulfed the bandits camp in a sea of flames—
"Whyyyyyy you killed them all again!!" The mofo dragon flashes me a grin and duck's back inside his portal like a happy mole, but I wasn't going to let this one go.
"You said this thing had a cooldown!" I couldn't get the father so I snapped at the daughter. Dragne looks away shyly and said pressing her fingers.
"I thought so too… but I guess I wasn't right... Tehe!" She shrinks submissively like a kid who knows she has done something wrong.
I guess she really had not much idea how it worked but fell compelled to answer because I asked.
She's really innocent for a demi dragon princess. Master pictured her kind to me as the hottest headed perverts in the world, but I guess even he can be wrong sometimes.
I should try and bring up the topic of her clothing before we reach the inn and she embarrasses herself whiteout reason.
Part 5
We crossed trough the bridge whiteout much difficulty after the storm put out the fires. Luckily it held somehow given the fireball was aimed mostly at the bandit camp than the river bridge itself.
"Miss Greatest Heroine, I'm hungry! What shall we be eating once we arrive at the inn?" The princess running all over the waist-high-soaked grass asked of me with cheer. She's really having a lot of fun over just walking around.
"I want to try the exquisite Land Lobster Cheesola when we get there. I know what a Land Lobster is but I have no idea what a 'Cheessola' would be. And I always love seeing what the silly name is all about."
Master hadn't offered me much in the way of economic relief as he said it was my duty to earn wages trough acts of justice and problem solving.
He handed me 500 vils at the door and told me to come back if the outside world was too much for me… He's always so kind, master…
It was when a feeling of disgust had started to creep up my spine that I saw men chasing… Did I develop some danger sense?
"Stop right there ladies!" A man in tattered black coat called up to us. Besides him six other men wielding weapons ranging from daggers to battleaxes.
One of them had taken off his fur mask (probably as a result of the rain inconvenience him) and I could see the mark of crime on his left cheek.
These are more—
"Uhh, look miss Heroine, there's more bandits!... Just you wait there, I'll have this wrapped around my tail in a— Uff!!"
"Stop right there!" I lunged and tackled the dragon princess before she could summon the jackass.
We landed with a splash on the water-flooded grass as the princess, strangely, fought me over for the medallion.
"W-what are you doing miss Heroine?! The bandits will have their way with you if we don't end their lives!" She spoke in grandiose cause.
"Like hell I'm letting your father ruin everything again! I can handle this!"
"But miss Heroine, you're just a poor and defenseless normal-human girl, against seven burly men!" Did this girl forget I am her bodyguard?
"I can handle mere bandits, I'm a Blade Rend…!" I gasped when I realized how I had accidentally informed the bandits of who I am. Now they will try to run away for sure…
"Hey boss, that girl, she said she was a Blade Bend-something like it was a big deal, but the hell is that?" One of the men squinted his eyes in confusion as he asked the man in black.
"Don't know either… Maybe is like a self-defense club that's famous where she's from…?" The boss bandit, whom for some reason hadn't started running like his life depended on it, erroneously tried to guess something that should be common knowledge across the entire world.
"Oh right, you guys, what miss Heroine means is that she's one of the Grey Haired Immortal wives—Eouch!" I subconsciously squeezed the throbbing tail of the lizard before all hell seemed to break loose.
"H-holy Griffindel!!! That hot babe is one of those bloodthirsty witches!!?" I'm going to drink this guy blood later for slander.
"F-f-fuck this!! T-this is why our encampment was razed to the ground!!" No, it was something else that I find myself protecting you from at the very moment.
"Let go of the medallion already, Dragne!"
"Nooo! Miss Heroine, you're in danger!" Is it my imagination, or did she just flashed a grin for the tiniest moment? And her strength is clearly higher than mine if she can hold me away even with my level.
It was as Dragne and I continued to roll all over the wetlands, fighting for the medallion, that the one bandit in black coat cut off the panic.
"Collect yourselves fools. Look at that ponytailed girl, she's supposed to be one of those impossibly deadly witches and she's struggling with a dim demi. Does she looks dangerous to any of you?" Just wait until I'll finish with the dim demi and you'll see!
Besides him the other bandits started to jump on their boss err bandwagon.
"You're right, she doesn't look scary at all. That's more like…"
"The kind you lock home and go for sixty meals a day or die trying."
"Da-a-amn girl! I call dips and objectors can take it with my axe!
"I would like to introduce her to the reverend of my town. See if the old crack still doesn't believe in sin at first sight."
"I'm so proud to be a bandit right now!"
"The marathons of hip exercises I could work with her body! That some weight loss formula let me tell you!"
"Fuck! I would learn to walk with her glued to my crotch for all intends and purposes!"
"Is like Griffindel crafted her himself! Let's take the ponytailed to our cave hideout and chain her to the wall in birthday suit boys!"
"YEAAHH!" X6
It would appear the men's have over come their fears and gone back to normal.
"Miss Heroineee! Pleaaseee!"
"Like hell! Stop resisting and let me handle this!"
"Ahhhhh!" Cried Dragne dramatically as I finally managed to take the medallion away from her.
I stood up dripping wet from the rain and placing my spoils in my pocket.
"Good, now Dragne, why don't you stand back and let the pro handle this—"
I was about to chant a spell when something blitzed right before me. I followed the trajectory and saw one of the bandits flying tenth ft across the air.
"Aaaaaahhhhh!" X6
Below the airborne bandit was Dragne with her fist balled and stuck up to the sky. The collective of men screaming like little girls.
"Shit! We forgot there was a demi around!" Cried one of the bandits trough gritted teeth.
I followed with my gaze at the airborne bandit and soon found him slamming on the wet grass with a splash, before floating lifeless.
"You killed him!" I shouted in rage.
"Damn that demi one is strong! Surround and gut her boys!"
The bandits immediately assumed a fighting stance and began to come after Dragne.
This is bad!
I aimed at the one right before Dragne so I could knock him down with a spell and chanted.
"Paralysis!" My spell set forth the enemy closest to Dragne and—
"Paralysis!" She falsely chanted before proceeding to land a powerful drop-kick on the very bandit I just wasted a spell at.
Yes, I would assume death-cold qualifies as an effective form of paralysis.
I ran full speed to the dragon princess side as the biggest bandit charged at her too.
"You're mince meat brat!" The bandit wielding a spiked club swung down on Dragne.
There was no time to chant so I had to resort to my chant-less—
"—Guhack!" I felt my face sting like a whip has just bitch-slapped me, and found myself diving headfirst on the grassy pond we where fighting.
I had just caught a glimpse of it in time to realize the reason I hadn't seen it coming. It was Dragne long-ass tail that was whipping all over the place.
Dragne then buried a punch on the spiked club, landing right in a gap between the spikes. The centrifugal force sent the spike club back to bludgeon the big bandit head with the wet sound of blood splatter.
My eyes moistened, face hurts like hell from her tail hitting me before. I don't think I have ever taken a blow in my entire life, but I've been preparing for days like this over a decade now.
I pushed trough the pain and sprang to my feet. A bandit was holding one of his daggers by the tip. He was intending to use it as throwing weapon.
"Dragne behind you!" I shouted for her to duck as I unsheathed my sword in reverse grip.
Dragne had seen the bandit now that I'd pointed him out, but he was out of range for her kicks and punches, and clearly hadn't caught on the sentiment to get out of the way, but I expected that to happen.
Alpha type spells like Paralysis have a slight delay before they start working, and my Omega type spells aren't exactly the precise kind so I can't risk one hitting Dragne.
I launched my sword as if it where a spear. Clear path cleaving trough the rain drops and directed at the bandit head.
Weapon throw was part of my curriculum as I was studying under master. I might have never had to try this in real combat before but I hold no doubts in my ability to hit targets right where I want. Or so I thought.
My rain piercing sword flew in a perfect straight trajectory over the bandit shoulders. It then lost momentum and disappeared amongst the tall flooding grass some thirty feet away.
In an instant, as I was recovering from the shock of having missed, I noticed a strange sight. Blood was gushing out like a fountain from the bandit shoulders and he was missing the head where I had aimed in the first place.
I followed a red arc of blood tracing out of the dead man shoulders and found it leading to Dragne 7 ft long-ass tail. She has beaten me to the bandit once again, and completely severed the man head in a rather scary way.
But this wasn't the time to sweat it. I had to save both the dragon princess and the remaining bandits from each others.
"Dragne stand back! This is too dangerous for you!" Demi and daughter of the current strongest being or not, she wasn't trained for this like I was.
"Miss Heroine please stand back! This is too dangerous for you!" I found my own lines served right back at me. Is Dragne more worried about me than her own life?
But this was worse than bad. I just lost my sword among the flooded grass, and the Sword Rend needs by the very least a blade to work. Dragne tail is whipping all over the place and I just saw her behead a bandit with it. I can't use my Omega spells either under these circumstances but I need to protect Dragne at all costs.
I set off running to the battlefield. My martial arts are deadly-less than the dragon princess and I'm not risking her getting hurt.
Effectively as I was closing in that I found her tail whipping my way. I ducked under it and managed to get in between Dragne and a bandit wielding a rapier.
With Dragne finally behind me I can resort to Paralysis whiteout fear—
"Hahhh!" I heard a battle cry coming from behind and a spiked club flying past me.
The rapier-wielding bandit went airborne making an excruciating crushing sound. Dragne had taken the spiked club from one of the felled bandits and pitched it at the one before me.
"I told you to stop killing them!!" I turned around and behowled.
"Miss Heroine look out!" I felt her hand on my left shoulder before I started to gain speed.
She had shoved me out of the way with such strength that I managed to fly fifteen ft away, before I landed on the wet grass with a splash.
Did I just let me guard down and she had to save me? But I could swear the last remaining bandit was too far away from me to do anything.
I pulled my head out of the water and rinsed it, right before I felt a splash really close nearby. It was the bandit leader.
His jawline looking funny and his eyes looking deader than a trout's a the fish marked. There was also a distinctive smell of shit coming out of him.
I heard splashes coming for full speed before looking over and seeing Dragne coming. She sank her feet on the water and stopped right before bending down until her amber eyes where even with mines.
"Are you alright!? Was I too forceful with you before!? You didn't break anything right!? Who gave you that red mark on the cheek!?" She was really fussing about my wellbeing. Is almost like she didn't have anything else in mind but me.
This…is definitely not how I expected my first real fights ever to play out. The person whom I was supposed to protect have been the one looking out for me all this time…
This warm feeling on my chest….it makes me so happy to have met someone like her.
"I'm fine, this is nothing my Regen can't handle." I slapped my right thigh, where under the cover of my pants I had hidden a rune for the spell Regen.
Regen is an Alpha type spell that cost 2 mana to use and last up to three days in hold. It resembles a small cross tattoo and can be placed anywhere on the body. It only triggers if you suffered damage after use and will numb pain and speed up recovery. It's rather useful to close up some wounds the moment they're made, but it won't work with something as weak as a tail-slap to the face. So I had to activate it manually.
I can just recast it later.
A dim bluish glow shined out of my cheek and began to work it's magic.
The spell is useful to get out of a minor wound or two, but it won't regrow limbs or do more than stabilize you if you received a grievous wound.
I smiled back at Dragne, looking good as new.
"Amassing miss Heroine! To think you could use kindergarten level spells like that one!" She said with great enthusiasm and tail swinging around like a doggy's.
…. Ouch my feelings!
It is true that Regen is taught at school when you're a child, but why do I feel hurt somehow?
It was as her amber retinas shone bright right-in-my-face that I heard a whistle, then a thud sound which made Dragne tail stand straight up like an obelisk.
Her eyes moistened and looked like they wanted to jump out of her sockets. Cheeks inflated like a pufferfish. Hands balled immediately as if she was holding something in.
"Dragne, is something the…!"
I saw a bandit with a bow sticking out by the tall grass some fifteen ft away.
Dragne, who was leaning forward as she looked at me, now straightened up, then turned around to look at her rear. She then turned around whiteout making a sound and—
Holy hole in one!!
Right below the tail and above her red skirt (it was that low) was an arrow sticking out the center of Dragne's butt.
It was my first fight ever and probably Dragne too, we had forgotten to count up to the seventh bandit.
An arrow flew by and Dragne just stepped it aside as she continued to silently close in on the bandit.
The bandit probably wasn't expecting she could dodge so well as he prepared to fire a new projectile.
I immediately stood up and chased after her. I can totally see where this is going, and I need the bandit alive to get information on the slav—
"—EEEEAAAAAOUUCHHHH!!!" A punsating pain violently said hi from my butthole.
I fell to my knees in excruciating pain and gritted my teeth. I had forgotten Blasmel cursing me to share the pain Dragne feels. Probably as a manifesto for why I should not allow these kind of scenarios to happen in the first place.
I saw Dragne head cock to the side and heard a loud crack. The bandit who was shooting arrows before now relentlessly backpedaled away from the silent dragon princess.
I didn't care anymore if she kil—I mean is too late to save the bandit now! I don't think I can stand right up so there's absolutely nothing I can do for him—might as well come to terms with his death!
The man pulled out a dagger and lounged forth into an impromptu firebreath. A torrential stream of fire wide enough to engulf the bandit whole frame.
"UAAAAHHHH!" Yeeees! Cry asshole—I mean the bandit dying melody dances trough my ears to the beat of my agitated and merciful heart.
After Dragne was done roasting the bandit alive, she turned on her feet and began to walk back to me. With strained smile and a bit of a scary look she said.
"You saw nothing." Big emphasis on the scary look, she looked like she would kill me if I ever told a soul.
With the both us staying silent to the matter, the rainstorm finally stopped and sun rays began to pierce the clouds.
The bandits had been slain and our first ever encounter with real danger was over.
And I can confidently say it was a pain in the ass!
Part 6
"Aaahhhh!" Moaned the dragon princess.
"Keep it down. This is hurting me as much as it is you!" I lied trough my teeth. This has to be hurting me more than it is her!
We where inside the inn room I had rented in preparation for the dragon princess arrival.
It was a two bed bedroom with a table, fur carpet, sink, cooking stool, one armoire and a bathroom.
I took the most luxurious room the inn had to offer in preparation for the royalty I would be attending soon.
Dragne was bent before me with her hair soaked and in nothing but her short top, hands resting on my bed as we where attempting to get the arrow out her ass.
The Green Mattress Inn was a hospitable surprise for me to find in the middle of nowhere when I was heading south.
It lays on the eastern coast of Vilesia, right near the tropics and is one of the last settlements for hundreds of miles wild territory.
It stands as a three storied oak built inn in the middle of nowhere to provide rest and shelter for any sell-swords needing to treck south of the old capital.
We sneaked from the back and hoping to head straight for my room to avoid anyone seeing us.
I don't think I'll be able to rent here again if anyone saw me dragging a poorly dressed and soaked demi inside my room with an arrow sticking from her butt.
"Ahhhm!! Miss Heroine, it hurts sooo much!! You said it would be alright but the pain is soooooo bad!!" She loudly began screaming all of a sudden and we got caught by the tenants who started coming out of their rooms.
I felt my skin heating up from the blood rushing. It was so embarrassing. And wasn't she who told Me it would be alright?
I quickly told the tenants we had an encounter with the bandits before dragging Dragne inside our room.
"Ahhh! You're so rough with me, miss Heroine!" Whines the butt-wiggling dragon princess as I tried to pull the arrow out of her butt.
"Stop moving so much already and get your tail off my face!" I commanded as I tried to wrestle with her intrusive tail.
Back when we got hit, she was acting serious and reserved like she would kill me if I even brought up the arrow. But when she asked why I was bent down in pain and I told her to remember the Forbearance curse, her tail made a ? sign for a moment and then lowered until it delicately twisted the arrow.
The curse was constant but there's some sort or slight delay before it relays what Dragne feels to me.
I told her I could handle it, but it'll be easier if she just avoided moving too much and came over so I could pull the arrow out immediately.
When she realized I wasn't kidding, she freaked out and started jumping all over the place like she's been given a new toy, to the grievance of us both.
She laced her tail around the arrow and asked again.
"Does it hurts when I do this?" She said back then with a mild frown as her tail began to twist the arrow in place.
I felt the blood drain from my face as soon enough the pain began to relay. I was rolling and screaming within seconds.
How was she so calm about it? Was her pain tolerance better than mine and the curse is just messing me more because I'm a human?
I told her to stop moving entirely, but she just went back to her cheerful mood and has been anything but still.
"Is alright miss Heroine! You hear me? You're gonna be alright! If I can hold up then of course you can!" She assured me back when as her tail began to play twist, pull out, push in, bend and even flick with the arrow on her butt.
To mine and mine only grievance then it would seem.
I don't know healing magic besides Regen and that doesn't work unless is casted before the wound. Dragne vehemently refused to have the arrow taken out whiteout proper medication out of fear I would bleed to death.
I tried to explain her how the curse only seems to be messing with my pain receptors, and how it is her whose in real trouble if we didn't take measures quick, but she refused.
She refused again and again and gave the arrow a tap with her tail to show me she was doing fine. I could feel her pain and I was sure that didn't felt fine at all!
This inn doesn't have any doctors around, but I had some healing potions in my luggage. We agreed to pull out the arrow when we arrived here.
"Ouch! Miss Heroine, take this seriously! You're hurting me!" She cried to me when I failed to take the arrow out with all my strength.
"Then make it so your stupid tail lets go of it already!" Her tail for some unholy reason, started tugging the arrow against me when I tried to pull it out.
"I'm so sorry! But I can't help it, it has a mind of her own!"
"Bullshit! I studied demi dragons and yours tails doesn't do that at all!" I was now certain she'd been screwing with me all this time, so I decided to put an end to this.
"Paralysis!" I chanted right for the pain in the ass lizard before me.
Soon enough the spell began to take effect and her limps wobble. She fell face first in the bed and her knees bent until she laid belly-flat on the mattress. Her tail also lost strength and began to untangle from the arrow.
It was finally my chance, and so I pulled with all my strength.
"Hmmmmm!" A muffled scream could be heard coming from the bed where Dragne was lying face flat.
The arrow drew blood as it went out. I would have to apply the healing potion quickly. Or so I thought.
Strange cobalt lines started tracing all over Dragne body like trivals and not a second after the blood stopped gushing out.
Dragne began to move her legs and stood up with the lines disappearing completely.
"W-what was that you did just now?" I asked incredulously as not only did her wound evaporated but she was standing up after clearly failing to negate a paralysis spell.
"Oh this? Is Baleficience, my sect Blessing. Unless I don't want to, all my enchantments and spells activate on their own so long as it is for the only goal of helping me." She said something so outrageous as if it wasn't any big deal.
Hey wait a minute!
"You where a healer all along and you knew recovery spells!!! What was the point of walking three miles with an arrow up your butt to get a miserable potion!!?" I blew like an air balloon right on her face because I felt every ft of the way. She looked away with a cute squeak and said.
"Hehe, ups, I forgot." She said sticking me her tongue out.
"Bullshi….eh…?" I felt my body stiffening.
I collapsed on top of the bed and bounced back to the floor receiving a painful blow in the back of my head.
"This is….the paralysis spell I just used on—YEEEEEOUCHHH!" I felt the excruciating pain crawling up my ass now.
"Oh miss Heroine, seems like you forgot about the pain delay… And could it be…"
The dragon princess laced her fingers around each others like she where contemplating something.
"That you can't move right now?" She asked me with a dangerous look in her eyes.
I wanted to lie but I don't think it would be too convincing.
It isn't just pain, even the effects of spells get relay back to me. I couldn't move, and this wasn't looking any good. Something was off about the princess.
I was laid down on my back. Dragne moved until she stood right above me, trapping my escape route with her legs. She looked down on me whiteout blinking.
She took her skirt off after we got inside the room, and she wasn't wearing anything under. Her short top ending in her underboob was the only thing covering her right now.
"What a poor and defenseless little heroine I have here." She said with a sultry tone as I could see her skin reddening.
Drat! I had forgotten my master teachings! It was back in the day when he said to me.
"Dragon demis…? Oh yeah, yeah I remember. Hornier than a Shea Bunny those guys. Heard It from a friend of mine whose having trouble controlling his nine unruly daughter's. Fool keeps trying for a boy and only shoots himself in the foot even more hahahaha!" I see now who that fool was.
"Listen well Mina, if a dragon demi starts to lose clothing around you for some unexplainable reason. Run!" Then he went back to read one of the books from our library.
How could I have missed such an obvious sign!? It should've been clear I was in danger when she took off the skirt right as we walked in! That thing wasn't even hit by the arrow!
"Once something turns them on, they don't respond for their actions just so you know." Another memory of my master wise words showed up uninvited.
Oh no! This is all my fault! I failed to see the signs and put a stop to this before she lost control! That arrow must've turned her on for sure!
She was just a kind hearted dragon princess one moment and then turned into this! I completely disregarded her race issues, and now I'm going to pay for it!
"You let me get hurt missy Heroine. And now is time for your punishment. Hehehe." She started laughing as she pulls up her short top. Her huge boobs spilled out with bounce.
I felt my skin heating up, and something else was clamoring inside me. Dragne looked so dominant standing over me that I started gasping for hot air in anticipation.
She was a beauty in every right of the word. She was taller than me, her bust was bigger than mine. They looked so firm from down here. What would she do to me?
I was already having a hard time controlling myself with the way she dressed, and now I could see it all.
Only a red shadow-like mark of pubic hair around her pussy. Right round the sides of her outer labia. It looked like nobody had ever the pleasure of being invited yet.
Her ass I had seen many times before. It was making it hard for me to concentrate. The notion that seeing our naked bodies didn't matter because we where both girls, was bullshit! It looked so fat and I wanted nothing more than to spank her all this time. And I probably would've if the pain didn't relay back to me.
Dragne began to lower down, until she was on her knees and hands atop me. She started with a kiss on my neck. I couldn't move, just hardly twitch in pleasure.
Her long loose red and soaked hair had spilled over her shoulders. Making a curtain like between her face and mine.
She briskly took off my crop top, I saw my breasts bounce out. Her hard nipples began to feel and rub mine when she had begun to move her shoulders. She gave the smug smile of a predator playing with her prey.
Then something tickled me really hard from my lower abdomen. It was her tail tip. It was moving with the precision of a conniving snake, as it started to dig inside my clothes.
I hadn't noticed until now, but her tail had wrapped a full loop around her right leg, going first left of her hips before passing under her crotch and later constricting around her right thigh once. Then it began to descend down on me with length to spare.
Her tail was that long, and my pants couldn't stop her, neither my panties would.
"Ahhhm!" I moaned when the tip felt like it went even slightly in.
It had sent convulsive sensation like nothing I've ever felt before. I could feel her tail throbbing inside of me, and it was messing me up.
"Hu hu hu hu hum! Aren't you such an easy girl, missy Heroine?" She pronounced, having me right where she wanted.
Her tail then stuck out of my pants and moved to our sides. It showed me a wet substance that had clearly come out of me.
"Ah!" I heard Dragne moaning now. That's when I noticed something dripping around her tail, and the relay sensation hit me too late again.
It would seem her tail frills where having way with caressing her pussy, as her tail continued to pass forward under her crotch and around her leg.
To think the curse would make me share her pleasure too.
Her tail tip went away, squeezing the frills against Dragne nether region as even more of it constricted around her. I noticed the full length of her tail had stretched on to the side until it couldn't anymore, and now that full length of free tail till the tip, it's what was going to happen to me.
I looked by the gap between the dragon princess breast and mine, as the tail began to slither devilish pull down my pants until they where right below my ass.
"No way in hell!" I screamed as I got up to my feet.
"Eeahm!" Moaned Dragne, as I shoved her aside.
No way was I going to be able to fit that much tail inside of me! And if I was to feel her pleasure on top of mine now that the relay had catch up, then I was going to lose it for sure….! Wait this is…
"Eh… What's this…? I can stand?" Paralysis should last for hours, so how…?
Hey wait a minute! She used a recovery spell to escape my Paralysis, is only natural that after the delay, that effect would also catch up to me if the paralysis could.
It was as I was analyzing that I noticed a tail slipping away. Some naked girl was crawling in four as she tried to discreetly escape the scene of a crime.
I stepped on her tail.
"Ahhhh! M-miss Heroine t-that's! That hurts a little!" I could feel the blood pumping under pressure, right below my affirming foot.
"Oh, my bad, I had thought this one had a mind of her own, and I was just teaching her a lesson." It was now my turn to stare down sadistically. I could see her tail tip tapping on the floor like it where throwing the match.
She was also wiggling her butt like crazy for some reason and was holding her nether region... Was her tail someplace sensitive?
"Ah! Wait miss—ahm!... If you do that to my tail I…you... Ahh! Is going to come back to you later!" She pressed her face on the floor as she held in four, trembling. It would seem she was about to lose something.
"What's gonna come back to me? I don't have a tail to feel any of this." I just declared the obvious as I watched Dragne butt stuck up to the air and I squeezed harder with the arch of my foot.
"AAAAAAHHHHH!" The dragon had finally been slain. And so was the carpet underneath her.
Part 7
Land Lobster Cheesola was put simply, a delicacy.
It was a cheese and chives soft bread loaf adorned at the top by chunks of Lobster meat, and came with an outstanding garlic sauce from the house.
Having ordered two loafs, our bedroom was fully doused in the mouth watering aroma.
The bread loaf came split in half, containing all the goodies inside its soft shell as to preserve the hot temperatures for as much as possible.
When Dragne and I opened it up, we where met with the steam coming out and soon saw the lobsters meat turning slightly bronze.
"Thish ish sho good!" We agreed on something for once she and I.
Our mouths where melting. This was the best way to relax after a cold and troublesome day under the rain.
Outside the storm has restarted once more. It clearly hadn't given it's all before.
But here inside our room, we didn't care. The noise of the raindrops smashing against the roof felt relaxing to listen to. It keep the atmosphere from growing too quiet, and I always liked that back at the library.
Dragne has calmed down and we where intent on pretending this morning never happened.
We where wrapped both in warm blankets as we enjoyed our dinner with a glass of wine.
"Say Dragne, I noticed you could fight before, and even use magic. Can I see your stats?" I inquired with great theatrics.
"Why'd you wan to know, missh Heshoine?" She replied with a mouthful and a hint of interest.
"I was thinking, maybe you could help me fight the bad guys of the Empire. If you're up for the task of course." I'm getting better at this lying business.
Truth is I just want to know what she can do so she stops surprising me at every corner.
"Shure!" She gave the okay as she wolfed down on the cheesy bread.
Strange, I thought she would offer some resistance now that I'm starting to know her better. But I'm not complaining.
I had my aura flare discreetly before I started chanting.
"Analyze the one before. Compare my friend to the records of yore. Examine!" I intoned.
Examine is an old-as-magic enchantment which is used to determine the values of an individual based of the records of a civilization that precedes the very creators of the enchantment.
There are three grades of the spell. At grade one is enough to chant the first line I intoned and then Examine. This will reveal the statuses and passives only of the target, but it won't tell me what spells and skills it can use.
The other two will reveal everything, difference is by consent of the individual. To get the information striped out of a target whiteout then wanting to, it requires a verse-long chant that's almost impossible to manage unless the target is restrained. The third variation is what I just used.
Soon enough the palm of Dragne hand began to display light, and I took a closer look. It said.

I pulled away after reading everything her palm had to say about her.
To put it simply, she was amazing!
The Examine enchantment values where built around the idea that 12 represents the standard. The once upon a time standard set for humans back when the world was a magic-less place and the ancient civilization prospered.
Vitality of 51 means 4.2 times durability, stamina, reaction speed. Any and all feats of the defensive category calculate using Vitality.
For Dragne's case, having 62 in Power stat means having 5.1 times the strength of a man from the old world. And all strength related feats calculated to be at 5.1 their average.
Agility of 102 means 8.5 the speed of a normal from yore. Whether it'll be running or attack speed. Precision is also calculated with Agility, just like all dexterity feats fall under the Agility category.
Aura is something of the new world, but a standard has also been assigned to it so we can calculate it. However Aura is mostly just what we call everybody's magic barrier, and the energy that keeps us living.
Magia is our offensive magic power. The one who makes our spells more powerful and hit harder against the enemy Aura.
Having IQ of 14 for example, means an IQ of 140 of the people from yore.
And Luck is as the name says, your luck measurement. Having your Luck be 24 means Dragne is twice as lucky as the average Joe.
The goal of the Enchantment Examine back when it was invented, was to analyze in plain simplicity how much humans had improved since Griffindel descent.
By having 12 be the standard equivalent. One would just need to divide the number in the corresponding category by 12 and then multiply the result by whatever feat was intended to be measured.
Humans of yore had a running speed of 19.5 mph. For Dragne who has 8.5 the average, her running speed would be 165.7 mph. And so all her other variables like how fast she can swing her hands or kick, would be at 8.5 average.
Now seeing this I understand why she could dodge the arrows from that bandit with ease.
An arrow from a regular bow travels at 63 fps, and the humans of yore perception was about 30 to 60 fps. Dragne Vitality is 51 which makes her perception 4.2 times greater.
She can see things somewhere between 126 and 252 frames per second.
She could see the arrow coming by twice at a minimum, and more than four times slower at max. And with a speed of movement 8.5 times greater, she was able to easily dodge anything the bandit could throw her way.
"Miss Heroine, I want more!" I heard Dragne speaking as I was analyzing what I found.
"Here, you can have mine. I'll get a new one later." I just gave her my Cheesola and she was already eating.
But anyways, her stats. Even when compared to the humans of today they're high.
Today on standard, we humans can grow up to 30 times average of yore if we specialize on a path. For example, I'm the path of a Spellcaster.
Even if all Blade Rend are famous for being swordwomen, truth is we are all Spellcaster.
To use the Sword Rend, the technique that grants us our name, several conditions had to be met and many masteries achieved. We cannot be anything but spellcasters to meet those conditions, which is why we must choose that path if we wish to train under master.
For a Spellcaster such as myself, our primary stat is Magia, which grows up to 360 max, which would be 30 times average. Our secondary stat is mana, which grows to 240 or 20 times average.
We do not have a third stat for our path, meaning all other than mana and magia, would fall between 3 and 10 times average once we reached level 99 or full potential.
To compare with Dragne in a sense. It is impossible for a regular human to have her Aura value, as well as her mana value. All other stats could easily be the leftovers of a level 99 human, and she's just level 9. He potential is tremendous.
As expected of the daughter of Blasmel I should say.
"….Huh? Miss Heroine, you've been staring for a while now. Am I that powerful?" I could see the faintest of grins for a second.
"Yeah, you are incredibly. Not to mention you could heal people in need and even help make them stronger before a tough encounter." I heaped praise for her, but notice a shake of her head.
"No, nope. I can't help people, only myself. I'm a Baleful Saint you know? That's a sect daddy exclusively organized for me and my sisters only. Our spells and enchantments might sound just like the standard version you humans use, but in exchange for them working like passives, when cast they only work on us."
"That is the most selfish religion I have ever heard of…! I'm going to seriously kill your father one of these days!"
I wanted to pull my hair, but I guess I shouldn't have expected much from a princess in the first place.
"Oh, but is alright miss Heroine. So long as you're bound to me, my spells will work on you too via the curse. And anyone whom attacks us, I'll protect you!" She merrily reassured me.
"Don't need it, I'm stronger than you are." I assure her instead as I looked at the rain outside our window. I don't need her getting the wrong idea that she has to protect me.
Yes her stats and skills are amazing but, I'm in whole, the definition of amazing.
"The shit you just said sow?" It was then when I heard a tone I've never heard before, and found myself blinking at the window.
I looked back at Dragne in confusion.
"Did you just cursed?"
"Nope I didn't!" She said with sweat running down her forehead.
"Are you sure? I could've misheard but, I'm sure I noticed a strange tone coming from you." I decided to press the issue.
"What wildly accusations are you making there miss Heroine? My tone remains the same!" She said back.
"Did you even said anything at all?"
"That's right miss Heroine. I didn't said anything at all!" The dragon princess lied as naturally as she breathed.
Oh I see what this is. Time to get some payback for that arrow.
"Well, it is understandable that a princess, daughter of Blasmel or not, wouldn't be able to compete with a Blade Rend like myself." I don't think I've ever had a chance to brag around like this. This is kind of fun.
On the other side of our table, Dragne was smiling widely with her eyes shut close.
"Miss Heroine, I'd think you didn't look at my stats properly, or your delusions might be worsening. Does that look like something a mere pleb could ever hope to achieve?" Did this fucking lizard just called me a pleb!?
"Is true that your stats are much higher than mine overall, but I'm a million times deadlier than you. Don't forget what I am."
"But of course! You're the 69 wife of the Grey Haired Immortal."
"……"
"……"
"……"
"……"
"… Tomorrow, we're going after the first quest at the Inn board. And the loser, is getting her tail spanked."
"How vulgar, miss Heroine. It should be, the loser is getting her insolent butt roasted." A small ember started coming out of her mouth and…
""Challenge accepted!"" We shook hands after that and she deliberately crushed mine under her gorilla grip.
I'm making a note to never let Dragne come near me when she's pissed.
Part 8
Writer
The funny thing about opening a full new chapter for an one day joke is that once that day ends you're left obligated to remove the joke but got nothing done to fill the space.
So, anyone remember this one? I'll just post it in the meantime. I have another chapter going on in my other fic which I want to get out of the way before continuing here, so if you missed this, here you go.
New readers probably haven't seen this one so, enjoy it. In less than one week I should be done with the current chapter of Simp Impact and then I promise to stick around here until I write to the end of the palace arc.
Anyways, new readers, enjoy this story until next week and I'll come back to write you a chilling vampire fortress. Got to finish the other ongoing chapter first.
Love You
