Chapter 119 Saving Oneself (1/2)

Five men encircled around me with weapons in their hands. They might be thinking because I am just a weak girl, only five men will do to capture me.

'Well they are wrong with their assumptions.' I smiled internally.

”Come now missy, we don't want to hurt you. Just put down the knife and be a good girl and come with us.” The skinny man said with a sinister smile.

”Who are you fooling? I won't go with you peacefully. I would rather die than be enslaved by the likes of you people!” I shouted with anger.

”Hahaha, then suite yourself. Men take her, but remember not to damage the goods.” The skinny man laughed.

The men then launched their way right at me. I was ready for their movements and calculated my movements to dodge their attack.

One of the men launched in front of me. I side stepped swiftly and hit him at the spot on his spine just below the head with the hilt of my knife. The man became unconscious instantly.

'Good thing I was able to learn the weak spots of the body from Leon.' I thought to myself.

”Hiiiyaaah!” Another man just at my right was about to swing his sword. But then Snow jumped in front of him and clawed his face out.

”Uwaaahhhh!” The man screamed.

This gave me the opportune moment to kick him in the groin. The man moaned in pain. I used my magic to gather all my internal force in my right fist. I give the man a powerful punch in his stomach and that made him slump on the floor unconcious.

With two down, the other men was more defensive in their stance.

”Tsk, I never thoght that a princess like you would know how to fight like that.” The boss said. ”All of you, go and get her!” He ordered.

And because of that, nine men now stalked around me.

'This is bad.' I thought to myself. With this many men, there is no choice but to use my magic powers. And if they see me use magic, they can't be left to live. No outsider should know my secret.

'I want to try and prevent death as much as possible.' I told myself. I really never have taken a life and I am not confident that I can.

'Alicia, let me take over.' Snow said to me telephatically.

'Are you sure?' I asked.

'Don't worry, I have gotten a hang of it after some practices. I can hold that form for at least ten minutes now.' Snow assured me.

I nodded in agreement.

At the dark alley way, fog started to form around me and Snow. It started to engulfed us.

”What is this?” A man asked, startled with the sudden fog that came out of nowhere.

”Where did this fog come from?”

”This is strange.”

”What are you men looking at?! Take the girl, the girl!” The boss shouted at his subordinates.

The men regained their composure and focused on me once again.

The fog surrounding me was starting to dissipate.

”W-What is that?!” One man shouted.

”What do you mean?”

”T-There, the silhouette.”

”It looks like a big cat.”

Then a growling is heard from where I was standing.

When the fog dissipated completely the men was shocked. Before the men's eyes was a young girl and just beside her was a huge white tiger, protectively standing.
