Sorcerous Stabber Orphen

Volume 4

Wolves, gather in the forest

Prologue

“You have to become strong.”

These were her mother’s last words.

When she was going to become alone, this is what her mother told her.

Upon hearing this, it didn’t make her happy. How would she become strong? She had no

This happened three years ago. Three years later, she is still running around in the forest.

To run in the forest you need two things, courage and skill.

She violently breathed through her mouth, the only direction she could run was forward.

Originally she wanted to find some mushrooms in the forest, so she wore an open-collar

green shirt and shorts, a simple dress wouldn’t be appropriate. Naturally her legs had

bruises all over, weeds and wild bushes had made sure of this. The bushes and branches

had also punctured her skin, causing blood to run down her legs. The summer air in the

forest was hot, which made her choke a little while trying to breath. Looking upwards, she

saw the sun shining through the trees——

If you set eyes upon her, she would look like someone about to enter high school. She was

not used to a forest environment, however her village was on the frontier and was surround

by forests. Her arms were short, similar to that of livestock, and her overall look gave her the

impression of a farmer, though that would change depending on who would look at her. She

had black hair and a ponytail, her brown eyes kept watch on what was in front of her as she

ran. Suddenly, she tripped, but——

(I mustn’t stop——)

She didn’t want to stop. From the beginning she had felt an intense rumbling in her chest,

she would reach her limit soon. Here eyelids were swollen, she was sleepy and just wanted

to forget this stumble.

(I mustn’t stop——)

She repeated silently to herself. She didn’t look back, lest the footsteps coming from behind

her would catch up. People were chasing her, three people from the village to be precise.

When she went outside the village, they followed her, she’s been running ever since ——

What will happen when they catch her? She didn’t know, but the three men were still

tracking her, they instinctively tracked her using only their senses. They made no sound,

didn’t even say “Stop” or “wait”, they just tried to catch up to her.

Her mind was relatively calm knowing this——nevertheless she still tried to make an effort to

run, even if she would be caught sooner or later. If she was caught, she would make no

effort to resist.

(I mustn’t stop——)

She knew this, but——

(I have to die——)

She said inside herself.

Suddenly, her body fell to the ground. She fell down, her face hit the roots of a tree. She

rolled over, her back pressed against the forest.

From the moment rolled over, she could see the figure of a man towering above her. A

feeling of disgust spread throughout her body, but, this stopped, her body was extremely

tired and she couldn’t move anymore. She breathed deeply, it hurt.

(I can’t stand up——)

A whimper came from her throat, she needed something to support herself——but this was

impossible.

(If I don’t escape——)

She wanted to drag herself through the forest, she wanted to move forward——but this was

impossible.

At that moment, something grabbed her ankle.

“.........!”

She saw the face of a young boy standing beside her. Her right hand moved instantly, she

tried to scratch his face with her nails, with little effort her nails scratched the teenagers ache

covered face. But she was the one who felt pain, her nails were broken.

The teenager outstretched his arm, his arm reaching into her collar. She then heard her shirt

b.u.t.tons being undone.

“Mommy...!”

She cried, as she bit the teenagers arm. The teenager yelled, but it barely fazed him. She

wanted to take this opportunity to escape, but his heavy arms pinned her down to the

ground, there was nowhere to escape.

Tears blurred her vision——she looked up, the teenager was still on top of her, he looked

down, breathing heavily all the while. She bit down on the teens hand again, but she was

fearful that he would turn his fists on her——

“You have to become strong.”

A voice rang out across the vast emptiness. It was her dead mother’s voice.

“You have to learn to live alone——”

(Impossible!)

The girl shouted in fear. A pair of hands were raised in front of her. There was no escape—

She tried to lift her head, but this resulted in her getting a black eye.

She felt no pain. Her eyes were closed the moment she was. .h.i.t. This time she lifted her

head so fast she caught the boy off-guard, her head collided with his. A feeling of paralysis

spread to her brain. She didn’t notice the boy yelling, blood was running down his head, but

her breathing stopped, her body was wrought with spasms.

She didn’t feel this for too long, the she woke up.

“.........?”

Intense pain came from her head, she stood up, touched her hair——head, face, body, all of

these places were covered in blood. She then saw the figure of the boy, his body was

slumped in the forest.

Tap, Tap......

Steps came from the gra.s.s behind her, she was surprised, and looked behind her. A huge

figure was standing there, it was as if the forest was divided into two halves.

The girl could feel it, it was a deity.

It had a flashing black body, and was rounded and curvy, the girl thought it was a woman.

It was actually an animal. Its head was three or four meters off the ground, and had the body

of a giant black wolf——it was truly a sight to behold, regardless of whether you were

religious or not. Its big green eyes observed everything.

The girl knew the name of the beast.

“The Abyss-Wolf——”

This forest——in the last unexplored continent——in the great forests that occupy the

Kiesaruhima continent, there once lived the Dragon race.

“Your name?”

Suddenly, a voice appeared in her mind. She saw that the dragon was watching her

instinctively, she replied: “F-Fiena, of Sorichian village......”

The Dragon went on to say: “You died.”

“What.........?”

Fiena asked, puzzled. The Dragon said: “However, I revived you——”

“You......saved me? Me——”

She cried as she saw that her entire neckline was covered in blood.

“I fight for my race......I exist solely as guardian of this continent. In the end, we let you live,

and also let you die.”

“I-I just wanted to thank you——”

She wanted to what happened to the boy, but thought otherwise. The Dragon said slowly:

“Little girl, your head and body——I can’t explain how, so you must understand......when I

save lives remuneration is required.”

“............”

“I need you. You are obliged to be my eyes and ears. I can’t give you much time. You need

to understand this quickly......”

Fiena didn’t understand. The Dragon didn’t speak anymore, it readied its huge body to move

quickly.

The Dragon slowly left with beautiful posture. The sun obscured her from seeing it head

deep into forest, though she could hear its footsteps. She felt that this was the legendary

Dragon Warrior, the impression it gives is that of death. Fiena motionlessly watched the

Dragon walk away, until it disappeared completely into the darkness of the forest.
