Chapter 09: just one question... "Who the heck are you?"
"I moved here two days ago! When does this fucker finally show up?!" I've been at floor 16 for two days, and i was... Kind of pissed because of false information?
When i moved down to floor sixteen, i checekd the whole route the party took and searched for the best place for an ambush, and found a really pretty spot. It was in a tree that was pretty big and had a lot of leaves. With my detection skill, i could feel when the party came, and with my hiding skill, i coulde make sure that i wouldn't be detected. Also, it was impossible to see trough the leaves, so i had the perfect place.
Well, although it was perfect for an ambush, it was really, really uncomfortable. Sitting, or hanging in a tree for two days is kind of tiering.
Just when i was about to leave, i could start feeling presences. Four presences to be precise. I heard that Michael always only had one group member with him, so i thought that he was able to gather two targets, so when they were almost below me, i let myself fall to pop up roght infront of them.
To my suprise, while i was falling, a woman jumped to the front, ready to chop of my head when she saw my red crystal. I was barely able to block the attack while gatting a small wound on my neck.
"Leave if you don't want to die!" Were the words i heard as soon as my feet touched the ground again. "Who... is that?" I had no idea who that actually was, and before i could ask her, she started talking again.
"You! Who was sent to kill Michael, will be stopped! I will not let you kill him, even if it takes my life! You understand?!" i was a little confused but... i said "Okay, i got it. But... That leaves me with one question... Who, the heck, are you?!" Talking about fighting me to the death, and not even telling me her name...
"Oh. right, i.. kind of forgot to introduce myself didn't i? haha.. Well. My name is Mio." "Mio?... i heard that name befo..." it struck me. She was the protector i heard about in the city four days ago.
"Huuh? So you're that idiot protector i heard so much about? The one who risks her life for randoms who she doesn't even know?" While i didn't excpect her to be happy about me insulting her, it was kind of inexpected when she told me "Huh? The fuck you saying? Idiot? You're the idiot for killing players, even though you know they die in real life too."
I just stood there, confused... i sighed. "Do you even know, who the fuck these people are?" i said with a light angry voice, while also looking at her with sharp eyes.
Of course, she replied with "Players who need help, so they wont get killed by someone like you!" i just sighed again.
I drew my sword, that was shethed until now. As the katana left the sheath, the sunlight reflected of the clean blade, blinding Mio for a second. I took that chance and launched at her with all my force, grabbing her coolar and smashing her into the next tree. When she opened her eyes, i looked her straight into the eyes, as i rammed one of my trhrowing knifes inside her stomach, paralyzing her movement, before i turned around and walked towards Michael and his friend.
"wait." the voice of Mio was so low because of the paralyzing effect, that i barely heard it. "What do you want, girl?" I said while turning around looking her dead into the eye with the most terrifying look i ever had. When she saw my face, she went pale and didn't even flinch.
Michael's friend sneaked behind me and raised his mace above his head, ready to strike me down when "Arghhh!" i turned around in a split-second, splitting his uper and lower body into two different parts.
When his lifeless body collapsed to the ground, it dissolved into thousands of small sparkling crystals that flew away with the strong wind, as i looked into Michaels terrified eyes. "Now you, Michael"
