16 TURN OF EVENTS (1/2)

The Human and Beastmen continents are considered as the weakest of civilizations, and are colonized by various other races. The Dragons, Devils and Giants heavily depend on the agricultural produce by the humans and the 'furry' men. A surprising thing is that even the beastmen have some colonies in the human lands, which signifies how poor the humans are in terms of natural talent. Their weaker bodies and their even weaker vitality have pushed them on the brink of extinction.

The only reason their civilization still remains is because of their adaptive abilities and their strong willpower.

Ancient Gold City, Makara Dynasty, Human Continent.

Ananya held the heavy iron sword in her hand as she got into a defensive position according to the Vindhya Sword Art. The sword covered her chest, and her feet were placed such that she would be able to quickly change from defensive to offensive.

She wasn't ignorant to intimate actions, after all previously she was married to the three burly men of the Faltu Clan, and she had to sleep with one of them every night. But she was no longer the weak girl who was sold by her parents for some little money, so when a beast-man forced her to stay by calling her a 'suspicious individual' and tried to 'interrogate' her by squeezing her butt, she slashed his hand and gave him a signal to stay away from her.

The other beastmen guards quickly surrounded her and pulled out their weapons. The had the same daggers which started vibrating and sent out a small screeching sound. At the same time, someone quickly entered the circle and stood near the girl.

”You aren't hurt, right ?” Sura swiftly glanced through her body and assured that she was alright.

”I'm okay.” she softly said.

'I've created trouble for him', she thought.

”My dear officer, it looks like we have a misunderstanding ! Actually, my wife is a little weak and she accidentally dropped it on your hand. Don't worry, we'll fix you up with some bandage.”

Sura gave an ugly smile and spoke. Even though he was trying his best to diffuse the hostility in the atmosphere, his ugly smile made the guards feel as if he was mocking them.

The guard who's hand was bleeding cursed. ”This bastard ! Kill them !”

Immediately the few guards circling the duo closed onto them and stabbed them with their daggers. Each of them aimed at different places, making it difficult to defend.

”FOOk !”

Mad Saber yelled and drew his heavy sword and waved in a semi circle, creating an isolated area. The guards had short daggers and didn't dare to come close recklessly.

What a trouble, Mad Saber thought. He was a peace loving person and just wanted to live a peaceful life, that was what he thought. In fact, he was the only one who thought he believed that. Even his father wouldn't call him a 'peace loving' person.

One beastmen engaged Mad Saber under the cover of the other guards. He was clever, and always stayed out of the range of the sword while striking the blunt part of the sword.

*Tink*

Each strike to the sword created a harsh sound, and Mad Saber felt as if his sword was crying. Compared to the dagger, his steel sword was truly inferior and wouldn't last long.

On the other hand, Ananya had difficulty defending herself and had a few cuts on her body. The earlier beast-man injured by her was trying to slice her by using the dagger with his other hand. His eyes occasionally glanced at her tasty mounds and butt, and he was already thinking of the various ways he would enjoy this woman. He snickered as he saw an opportunity and he stabbed her in the thigh, which produced a scream from her.

”Ananya !” Mad Saber roared as he swung his sword in a circle and moved towards her.

”Fourth Style : Mountain Descend !” he shouted as he moved his heavy sword in an elliptical motion from top to bottom. The lecherous beast-man who was the closest was immediately stabbed in the chest. His ribs immediately broke from the weight and force from the heavy sword and it's front part disappeared into the body. Blood spluttered like a fountain and splashed onto Mad Saber's face, giving him a vicious look. Some got into his mouth and he wanted to puke, but stopped himself as he had to look extremely murderous at the moment.

The other guards were stunned and didn't expect the young human to be decisive enough to kill a beast-man guard. He was crazy !

Earlier the guard would just have had a little fun with the girl and kicked her out when he got bored, so she would have been able to live. But now the both of them would have a much crueler fate.

”What's going on ?”

An authoritative voice boomed, and a few figures appeared from a nearby building. A bunch of wolf-men holding sharp bone claws appeared, led by a figure with pointed ears. Unlike the wolf-men who looked strong, burly and ferocious, the man in lead looked weak even though he was muscular. He was almost five and a half feet, and looked no different than a regular human except for the pointed ears. There was no doubt that this person who led the wolf-men and was in a luxurious armor was a dwarf.

The wolf-men guards surrounding Shur and Ananya snickered when they saw their support.

”Ha.. now you are done for, human !”

”Let's see now if you have the guts to act strong !”
