Chapter 111 - Ash vs Mahsuri (1/2)
Mahsuri, a lady whose look like a grown up version of Charlotte, with her light blue hair and attire resembling that of a traditional wear of the Malay, Baju Kurung.
During that night where Diana, Qis, Rean and I had a talked about the blessings from Goddess Achalasia, Diana mentioned that Mahsuri here might be one of the original ten heroes that drove the fallen god into nothingness. She doesn't have any proof to back her up, other than her intuition telling her that. One would normally not believe in her, but, she is blessed with the same blessing, and her intuition regarding this sort of thing is usually correct. Plus, father also mentioned that I had already knew who this Mahsuri person is, so I have no doubt she's the one
From the info that I obtained, nobody seems to know why she will always stand there, in the middle of the road. She didn't disturb anyone, though that doesn't mean she's harmless. For those foolish enough to challenge her into a fight, she would draw her sword and instantly defeat the challenger, and for those even foolish enough to show any sort of murderous intent near her, that person will soon be greeted by death.
She had long been labeled as a monster, an SS rank one for that. Even the oldest citizen of Estel couldn't really tell since when did she was labelled as such. Plus, nobody really knows that much about her as she doesn't even utter a single word.
”Mister, why are standing here?” [Young deer girl]
I guess as my mind wandering around about Mahsuri, I incidentally walk toward her. Just as I were about to answer the question
”Ash? Vincent and Maria's son?” [Mahsuri]
””!!”” [Ash, Young deer girl]
”SHE TALKED!” [Young deer girl]
I thought she will always be mute. And here I am, wondering how I will get any sort of information from her, but guess this settle it. But wait, before that
”No, no, no. I mean, yes, I am Ash, the son of Vincent and Maria, but how did you know about it?” [Ash]
”...” [Mahsuri]
”Hey mister! What did you do!” [Young deer girl]
”I sincerely have no idea” [Ash]
Is it because of my blessing? No, if that's the case, other heroes should have long talk to her. Maybe because of father and mother? Possible... wait
(Does that mean, this scythe with my parent's soul inside and the God of Death blessing make it possible?) [Ash]
Only one way to find out, I should draw my scythe and present it to her first

”No, bad idea...” [Ash]
I'll get killed instantly. She might not be a monster, but if one were to take into account the rank she got, it basically suicidal to do just that
”You're still weak...” [Mahsuri]
She suddenly draw her light blue sword and
”Cupid, stay back...” [Mahsuri]
”Huh, umm?? Yes?” [Cupid]
So that young deer girl name is cupid, but more importantly, just hold on for a sec
”Wait...” [Ash]
She dashed toward me, and swing her sword with water mana imbued into it. I just block it with my scythe imbued with earth magic for better defense but
(Holy shit! This literally feels like a raging wave hitting me all at once!) [Ash]
This, the force behind her swing, it simply massive! Before I knew it, I was pushed by it. Losing my posture, I use my flying magic to land properly but
”Earth wall! Earth wall! Earth wall!” [Ash]
She sent in wave of water right toward me, and the multiple earth walls that I cast didn't even slow down the current.
”Tchh! Ice Shark missiles!” [Ash]
I might get pushed back (both literally and figuratively), but that doesn't mean I should stay on the defensive side. With six of my shark missiles trying to attack her, she simply calls her own
