This is a disaster, it's not that I don’t trust my abilities, but, this is getting me nowhere, I can’t continue running and hiding.

 

“Just surrender human, the probability you have to defeat me is zero,” the sorcerer in front of me may have a lot of confidence in himself, but I’m convinced he’s just bluffing, I can’t help but smirk at his attitude.

 

That might not have been the best decision because now he looked annoyed.

 

“Why are you smiling!?” He asks completely furious before he moves back to the air to prepare another attack, I know it because his mouth is starting to get covered with fire.

 

“No reason in particular, to be honest, I’m surprised by your power, you’re an interesting enemy,” I said with a smirk on my face.

 

Sir Louis has taught me a lot of things since he started training me, and one of those lessons is the fact that we should acknowledge those who show incredible strength.

 

“Why the sudden praise? Are you too scared that now you try to stop the fight with flattering? It's not going to work!” He didn’t look amused.

 

I closed my eyes for a few seconds before I smiled at him once again.

 

“Not at all… All the opposite actually, to know that I’m facing someone so strong is refreshing, you know? I’m so used to being the best when it comes to sword skills, not even adult guards can stop me,” I said before I sighed. “Well, there’s just one adult who’s capable of defeating me and he’s my teacher, he's the one who gave me this sword the day I started my adventure,” I showed him my sword, the one that I’m proud of.

 

“Uh? Why do you tell me all that stuff? I don’t really care to be honest…” He was getting annoyed.

 

He launched himself toward me and he was ready to bite me, this guy thought he was some kind of fire vampire or something like that and once again, the only thing he bit was my sword and once again my sword sucked his magic power.

 

“This is not fair! Stop avoiding the conflict, you should fight like a real woman!” He complained, it seems like he’s a person who’s used to getting everything he wants, and when he faces a challenge he's not able to easily overcome, he loses control of his temper.

 

I’m glad I grew up in the way I did under Sir Louis’ wing, otherwise, I would’ve ended just like him, spoiled and entitled.

 

“You see Jaggi… This is no normal sword, this sword used to belong to someone named Louis Draxler,” he seemed confused by my words. “However, he’s best known as the former hero of destiny,” and suddenly his eyes widened in horror realizing that he wasn’t fighting someone normal, or at least someone who wasn’t trained by a normal person.

 

“Y-you’re lying!” He couldn’t believe it and I couldn’t help but smile.

 

“Why would I lie to you about that? I know you sorcerers are strong and dangerous, you have so many aces behind your sleeves, however… I’m confident about my abilities and if you don’t believe me…” I said defiantly and I’m sure that the next move is going to surprise him even more.

 

I ripped the maid outfit I was wearing revealing the clothes I usually wear under the armor, aside from my normal black boots I’m wearing tight beige pants and a shirt without sleeves that has zero shame in showing my abs and strong arms that I’m quite proud of, the things I had to do to get this body weren’t easy!

 

“No… No… Not the maid outfit!” Jaggi screamed completely shocked but it seemed like he didn’t react like this due to my physical form, he was more worried about the fact that I destroyed the maid outfit.

 

“Stop thinking about turning women into toys, you sick bastard!” I said angrily.

 

Even in this situation he was more worried about his twisted hobby and that only made me feel angrier than I already was, his arrogance was just too big, he was about to receive a lesson in strength and I’m quite confident I’ll be able to teach him some things.

 

“Well, whatever… Soon you’ll have a lot of time to think about your toys… In jail!” I said with a smirk on my face.

 

“Is that so? Do you seriously think you’re going to be able to send me to jail? Don’t be ridiculous, we sorcerers don’t face the same punishments as you weak humans, nothing will happen to me, after all, I’m a descendant of one of the families of creation!” He was so confident about his connections, but I’m not going to let that stop me.

 

“Of course you will… You only have two choices today, you either end up in jail or you turn into dust… There’s no in-between, or at least that’s what Kazz told me what happens when a sorcerer commits abuses their power!” I smirked at him.

 

“That only happens to common and weaklings like Kazz, nothing is going to happen to me, don’t worry about it,” I just sighed, I was hoping he would surrender.

 

“It seems like you want to do things in the bad way, very well…” I closed my eyes with disappointment.

 

“Shut up woman!” He couldn’t take it anymore and it didn’t take too long before he launched himself against me, it seemed like he was trying to bite me once again with his fire fangs.

 

He was so focused on his attack but he lost the concentration when I threw my sword on the ground just when he was about to strike me.

 

“You fool, you’re over and—” He couldn’t finish because I punched his face, the punch hit directly on his ugly mouth that was covered with fire.

 

The next thing that happened took me by surprise, he ended up getting launched towards a building that in the end collapsed on him.

 

“Wow… That was interesting,” I couldn’t help but say as I caressed the fist I used to punch that guy’s mouth.

 

But obviously, things aren't going to end like this, everything seemed so easy, the remains of the building suddenly were launched everywhere as Jaggi flew towards me once again.

 

“What did you do? A human shouldn’t be that strong!” He looked like a mess, it reminded me of a cat who just took a bath.

 

“You see Jaggi… I only use my sword skills when I’m in a desperate situation, in other cases, I just rely on my strength and you, my friend… You are no threat to me, so, it's not worth using my blade against you,” I said with a serious expression that made him gulp.

 

Looks like I managed to insult him.

 

“I must admit that I exceeded the expectations I had of my strength, you want to know why?” He raised his brow at my question. “Jaggi… Do you know why my sword kept sucking your fire attacks?” I smirked after I said this.

 

Judging by his looks I could tell that his rotted brain was trying to decipher what was going on, but then his eyes widened in horror.

 

“You see… This is no normal sword, there’s a mystery about this sword, not even I know where the former hero of destiny got this sword in his hands, however, I can assure you one thing, this sword seems to have been created to destroy sorcerers, that's the main use for this blade,” He gulped after he heard that.

 

“Y-You’re lying!” He couldn’t believe this and I was squealing with happiness inside my head, his desperation, oh my god his fear it brings a great sense of happiness inside me... However, I needed to calm myself, this was a difficult situation!

 

“If you don’t believe me you should ask the thousand sorcerer souls that have been engraved in this sword… All of them were defeated by my teacher ever since he was a kid,” and the moment I took my sword once again I knew that he was sensing the power that was hiding inside of it. 

 

I love the expression full of horror that he has right now.

 

“Don’t misunderstand me, I’m strong but it doesn’t hurt to add some magic to my punches with the help of my sword… So, you should be proud that I’m using your magic to defeat you… Your own magic will be the one that will bring you down.” I started to giggle, I knew he was more than scared.

 

But it seemed like he wasn’t going to go down without a fight and his body got covered in flames once again, he was a complete flame-man, and it didn’t take too long for him to make a flame blade appear, and I knew where this was going.

 

“Don’t say such nonsense, I won't be defeated too easily!” He was almost screaming when he said this.

 

It didn’t take too long before our blades clashed, however, this time he seemed to have a different strategy because he was hitting my blade at an incredible speed, It looked like he realized that by doing this, it would be harder for my sword to absorb his flames and per se, his energy.

 

I’m sure that the sound of my blade clashing against his own was echoing in the whole town, but I didn’t have time to think about that, I was going to defeat him and that was a promise, if I couldn’t even defeat this guy then the demon king is out of my league.

 

“Take this you monster!” I screamed as I charged against him.

 

It seemed like he wasn’t expecting me to charge against him, but it wasn’t too long before my sword destroyed his flame blade, however, that wasn't a problem for him, he quickly replaced the lost blade and not only that, he made another so now he was carrying a blade on each hand.

 

“Bring it on!” I challenged him, I wasn’t scared.

 

It didn’t take too long for him to charge against me once again, however, I noticed something, his movements were getting slower and it was clear that he wasn’t in his element.

 

“Come on Jaggi… Where did your motivation go!?” I taunted him as I followed every step he took.

 

That got him angrier than he already was and judging by the look on his face, I could tell he wasn’t going to contain himself anymore, he started to float once again and he made his swords disappear.

 

Then he did something I wasn’t expecting, he created a flame bow and it didn’t take too long before he started shooting arrows in my direction, surprisingly one of them exploded close to me and I was having a difficult time avoiding them.

 

“Oh my goddess!” I couldn’t do any other thing than scream at the horror in front of me as I tried to avoid all those flame arrows.

 

“It’s over, you can’t hide anymore!” He said and then did something that made me feel horrified.

 

He turned himself into a flame arrow, a giant flame arrow to be more precise and it didn’t take too long before he launched himself toward me, I knew it was dangerous, but that didn’t stop me from trying to stop him with my blade, the moment he was close to me, I stopped him.

 

But things weren’t that easy, his flame form didn’t disappear he was actually pushing me further, apparently he wanted to explode with me by his side, and considering his arrows don’t explode until they hit the ground I realized that he was trying to do with me.

 

The worst thing was that he was pushing me little by little, he was overpowering me, I tried to use as much strength as I could and yet, he was still pushing me, if he hits the ground it’s over for real.

 

“Give it up, there’s no way a human could—” He couldn’t stop his phrase because his arrow form suddenly disappeared before he fell on the ground.

 

It didn’t take too long for him to get back to his human form and the worst thing was that he was leaking a black liquid from his eyes, ears, and mouth, it was like liquid charcoal, and soon I realized that it was raining, but it didn’t seem to be a regular rain because the clouds were red.

 

“What the…” I couldn’t continue speaking because the rain started to get more and more violent.

 

I knew this water was different, it seemed to have another element as it felt heavy when it fell on my head, and when I saw Kazz coming from the sky riding a stick while he was being chased by the giant head of Sir Whiskers, I knew this was his work, I couldn’t help but smile at him.
