Chapter 90: A Hero In The Making Part One
Kana did not waste much time after saving Kiliffia. She quickly helped Kiliffia pack some clothes before sending her off with one of the soldiers. After that, she headed full speed towards the front lines. Three days later, the smell of blood filled the air. "I am getting close."
"It seems the Rural Kingdom is not doing too well if the battle has already reached this far." Lysairth said, her voice grim.
"Even if they are not doing good, I must still try to do what I can." Kana said as she continued forward.
"If you run into a situation you can not handle, please retreat. This is all I will ask." Lysairth pleaded.
"Mmm... I will. I promise." Kana also did not want to die. If things looked bad, she would retreat as quickly as possible.
Kana had finally arrived at the battlefield, but there were only a few soldiers clas.h.i.+ng on the sides at this time. It was a single female leopard beastkin against two humans. The beastkin was covered in many cuts and bruises. You could tell from one look she was almost out of energy, but she still kept defending, not willing to give in. Kana quickly rushed forward with her sword drawn. The humans didn"t even realize she was there until it was too late. Kana jumped up, spinning her body around while slas.h.i.+ng out with her sword. The sharp edge of her sword sliced clean through the two humans" necks as if she was not cutting through flesh and bone but the air itself. Their bodies were still in an attack motion as they died, causing their heads to slip from their necks. They died without even knowing how they had died.
The female beastkin was stunned at what had just happened. She thought she was going to die at any time. She knew she was just prolonging the inevitable, but she still held on to hope that maybe she would be able to survive somehow. Tears welled up in her eyes when she realized she really had survived. But when she looked at Kana, who was standing there with her sword dripping in blood, she couldn"t help but feel shocked at how young her savior was. Realizing she was staring, she quickly composed herself and bowed her head, saying: "Thank you for saving my life!"
"Your welcome. Can you tell me where the main force is?" Kana asked.
The beastkin looked at Kana and pointed towards the northwest. "A half-day travel that way, you should..."
"Thanks!" Kana yelled, not letting the girl finish speaking before she took off in the direction the girl had pointed.
As Kana made her way forward, she killed any human she saw without any hesitation as she made her way to the main battlefield. The closer she got, the more clashes between beastkin and humans she saw. When the area became too condensed with fighting, she only killed the humans blocking her path until finally, after three hours, she finally saw the ma.s.sive cl.u.s.ter of human soldiers. Kana"s eyes flashed a cold light. She gripped the sword in her hand and slowed her pace. "Since they wish to harm so many innocent people, then I will give them a taste of h.e.l.l before they go and see the king of h.e.l.l himself."
Kana sucked in a large amount of air before suddenly releasing it.
*Roar~!*
Her loud roar shook the battlefield as if an ancient beast from the days of old had reappeared in this world. The beastkin who heard the roar felt as if they were reinvigorated. While the humans felt a ma.s.sive pressure weighing down onto them.
Inside the beastkin base camp, Tilia was sitting around a table looking at the situation on the battlefield.
*Roar~!*
Tilia stood up and looked in the direction the roar had come from, her eyes lighting up. "Kana!"
"Fifth Sister, what"s wrong? Kana? " one of the princesses called out.
"She"s here. She is here to help! We may still have a chance!" Tilia yelled out. She did not know why. She could feel it deep within herself that that roar came from Kana. It was a gut feeling that allowed her to feel hope in such a dire situation.
After Kana"s roar, the whole battlefield became silent. All eyes turned towards the sound. They only saw a small girl around ten years of age. She had two horns on her head, a pair of wings on her back, and a lizard tail. Although she looked very cute and innocent, the cold light in her eyes and the roar just now made all the human soldiers who could see her wary of her.
Kana shot forward and took in a deep breath. "[Baby Breath]!" Unlike her normal stream of flame that she used before, this was like a flood being released from her mouth. A wave of flames raced forward at an unbelievable speed, quickly reaching the ma.s.s of humans. Screams of pain and horror filled the air as the flames swept over the human soldiers. With their metal armors melting to their skin, it was as if they were stuck in a frying pan being grilled alive with no escape. Kana"s [Baby Breath] lasted a good three minutes before finally letting up, but the wave of flame never stopped moving forward. It was as if it had a life of its own. Tens of thousands of human soldiers were suddenly burnt to a crisp, quickly turning the tides on this part of the battlefield. But Kana was not done. She gripped her sword tightly and rushed forward straight into the ma.s.s of human soldiers.
[MP]: 4000->3950/4000
The beastkin army was shocked at first, but once they saw the little figuring taking the lead, an earth shattering roar came from the beastkin army as their morale rose to great heights. The battle quickly resumed, and with newfound hope for a victory, the beastkin army began fighting even harder!
