Chapter 206: Fierce warrior (1/2)

”Yeah, let's go! Maybe it's an adventurer or a hunter from the city and he could be in trouble!” Sarah spoke, as she turned towards the direction Aiden was focusing at. ”How far? Is he okay?”

Sending out another empowered mental energy pulse with the use of his [Dark Sense] ability, Aiden took a look at his System's map. The previously spotted 3 circular dots, one colored in green and the two situated in front of it, colored red, were still there. Also, from the empowered pulse he felt strong life essences oozing out from them, meaning that all three creatures should still be fine.

With this information in his mind, Aiden, while not averting his eyes from the 'scene' ahead, nodded lightly. His voice, usual to his demeanor was calm and collected.

”Yes, all three presences are currently alive. Although…” The strange feeling he had earlier, hit him again as if he met one of the beings currently in combat previously. Unsure who could it be, without any warning, he began to slowly march forward, towards the battle.

Understanding that something was probably amiss as Aiden's voice suddenly trailed off, and how he abruptly began to get closer, quickly unsheathed her sword and followed closely behind the youth.

As they approached closer, soon the first muffled sounds of the battle ahead hit their ears. Surprisingly, or as if to confirm Aiden's vague suspicion, one of the groans were distinctly feminine in nature. The other two were hoarse, throaty animalistic battle cries. Both of them were clear that these were coming from two orcs, getting more and more engorged in the battle.

”I-it's a woman!” Realizing that one of the sounds was coming from a female, Sarah shook in a mixture of shock and fright. She knew what fate awaits those females that get defeated by these monsters… ”We have to hurry, we have no time to waste!”

Immediately, she increased her speed, and rushed ahead, leaving the safety of Aiden's back. She had no time to waste, if a human was to face two brutes of this caliber there were little chance of winning, and defeat was much worse than death for their sex! No, she can't let that happen, no matter what!

Increasing her speed even further, she cared for nothing, just to get to the source of the gradually clearing but still muffled sounds of combat coming from a decreasing distance away.

'I have to give her time to escape!' Sarah gritted her teeth, as she activated her full power. Raising the blade of her sword vertically in front of her face, she whispered a few ancient-sounding words as she continued her heightened pace.

In the next instant, her entire figure began to faintly glow in a purplish, thin layer of energy, further increasing the possible output of her muscles at the cost of increased stamina cost. Her speed increased by another margin, but beads of sweat began to glisten upon her pretty forehead, slithering to the side, acquiescing to the force of the headwind.

Although she didn't pay attention, she didn't leave Aiden too far behind. Without much effort, he increased his speed to match Sarah's as he kept following slightly behind with an interested smirk stretching wide on his face as he looked at the woman.

Although he wasn't too shocked that she could use magic, he was surprised when the system greeted him with a notification that he hadn't heard for quite some time.

[Wind Magic Discovered! Analyzing information… 10%]

'Wind Magic? Huh, I almost forgot… Though I still don't understand why the progress on these is so incredibly slow…' he thought, focusing on the effects of the spell. Seeing how it enhanced her physical capabilities and gave her another slight boost in speed, his smile turned slightly wider, as he kept the pace with ease. To him, this speed did not even require the use of any abilities, his natural attributes could easily match it up.

Not too soon after, the sounds of battle became clear, as they stopped and hid behind the large trunk of a nearby tree. Carefully peeking out, the scene in front of them became clear, stunning them once again, and causing them to be unable to react for a few brief moments.

In front of them, in the midst of the woods, a tall, large, robust-looking feminine figure was widely swinging a humongous war ax. The weapon was quite a sight to behold as well. At the end of its long and thick handle, there was an ornate circular saw-like metallic head, that was already smeared with the now-familiar black, oily substance.

The woman was garbed in barely any real clothing, apart from covering her delicate parts with leather straps, she was almost naked. Her, long, blonde hair that was tied into a ponytail behind her head was swinging wildly, flailing against the wind as the woman kept jumping to the left and right evading the incoming blows of her two combatants. Despite the dangerous situation she was in, she had a wide grin stretching across her face, she kept shouting unintelligible garbled shouts. Still, despite not understanding the meaning behind her words, it was clear from the tone that she was greatly enjoying herself. Her tone carried her almost euphoric happiness.
