Chapter 3

The Deadly Issue of Purity

================================

Land travel would take him four days, according to the map he downloaded (with a price) from the information guild. And so Siva took the shortest, rumored to be the most dangerous, path available.

There were five known paths towards his destination, in the Walled City of Loire, if one chose to travel by land.

He couldn’t ask for the help of the Miranda now and he wasn’t actually planning to do so even if he was to be hung for being stubborn. Being with that Witch, even though it would seem that it was every man’s dream, he was still having these thoughts that she was just making fun of him and that if he was to bite the trap, he will be in for more trouble he can’t get out off.

That’s what he’s been trying to avoid.

And so, now, he bought a horse, a real domesticated one from earth and rode with pride.

Even though he doesn’t know how to ride one, thanks to the assistance system of the game, he was riding it now like a real horsemen. And as an additional effect, he also bought the horse with the highest stamina that’s available in the stables.

With no more wasted time, he went to do what he had to. He traveled towards Loire with hopes that he will not be late nor run into a trouble he doesn’t want.

But in case he do run into one, his thoughts were only these words: I’ll kill anyone who will stand in my way.

Kathleen, FlowerLord, and Amanda, three beautiful women asking for a single man did not take too long for the Hangar Personnel to answer their questions. Using her nosy reporter skills, Kathleen Brew asked with all her charms added with Amanda’s striped white hair that was fixed in an adorable state and the shadow of a girl with killer eyes behind, the three got the answer they were looking for.

“East.” Said FlowerLord with a fist. “I haven’t been in there. What about you?”

Of course the question was directed to Kathleen. “I also haven’t been there.” And the two looked at Amanda who has been fidgeting with an apologetic look in her cozy place where she stood.

“Sorry I’m no use.” She said.

“Don’t worry. She is a great help when it comes to the actual fights in Terroa.”

“She is?” Kathleen was skeptic. “How could a weak fragile looking girl like you a fighter in the battlefield?”

“I’m not…she just pulled me out there…”

“I brought her once in a hunt and try to cheer her up but you know what.” FlowerLord glanced at her and did a chuckle before they entered the Hangar Port Office. “I was actually surprised myself to what I’ve discovered.”

“So she has a talent?”

“Sort off. Yeah. Three tickets to the nearest city in the east side of this city, please.” In the counter, FlowerLord was the one who was talking with the attendant and answering Kathleen’s questions while Amanda followed them from behind while being followed in turn by men.

“That would be Z36M ma’am.” The counter said and FlowerLord paid the attendant as she received the ticket to their seats in the commercial flights.

“Um, Alice…help…me..”

The two girls looked at Amanda and the men behind her was grabbing her arms. The men were all high rank players with powerful weapons and armors. And just as FlowerLord and Kathleen were to make a move, four men appeared behind them and caught their arms.

For a Mage, catching an arm, or in this case, two, is a major defeat. Not only he/she can’t cast the spell as the flow of Manna is obstructed, if ever he/she could do it with one hand, it was easy for the target to stop the cast.

And that’s just what happened to the two.

Unluckily, the ones that got FlowerLord’s arms were men from the Gonn Race and they were exerting more force than her. And since she can’t grab her Ceres that was holstered on her waist, she can’t use the Dark Spear to deal with them.

The men who numbered around 20 was touching them on their chests and butts, opportunists with wicked smiles on their lips, with some even had animal eyes while licking their armpits and necks.

“Hohoho…what is this? Women of such caliber should be spending time with us.”

“Yeah, we’re lonely. Why don’t we play naked tag in our hideout?”

“Hehehe, this is gonna be fun…”

The girls cried out as they were being molested and even the strong willed FlowerLord couldn’t help but to feel only anger as the men had been taking their leeway on their undefended bodies.

All of the NPCs and customers in the office have all been scared since in Xargoal-6, these men are famous thugs and hoodlums. Bad boys. High level users that abuse their money and fame to annoy others and play with them. Especially girls. That’s the reason why there are almost only men in almost all Xargoal Mining Cities. It’s because of it being a neutral zone, all sorts of crimes are available in the city.

And that’s also the reason why there are no police in there but military pers.

“Don’t touch me!”

“Unhand me you fools! Don’t you know who I am?”

“Oh we know you very much, Miss Kathleen Brew. As you are a famous icon, that’s why we’re doing this.”

“You lowly sons of bitches!”

“Hahaha…I really love women with sharp tongues.”

“Kathleen’s ours, Brad. The fighter’s all yours.”

“Then we’re taking the beautiful missy…”

The words bade shivers on FlowerLord’s nape as she motioned for Amanda. “Log out! Try to Log out!”

“Hahaha…” The leader, Brad, laughed. “You can’t log out in here missy, since this is a public neutral area, not a safe zone, plus, we have your arms.”

A dreadful laugh escapes the man as he took a rope and tied FlowerLord’s arms behind her. Kathleen had been back carried, also tied, and Amanda was about to be tied as well when she glanced at the direction of her friend who unluckily got the nastiest of these men.

The high level armored guy pulled her friend’s hands and made FlowerLord rub his crotch. She screamed in disgust as her hands got tied by two men while tears started to flow from her eyes, making the man more drenched in the ecstasy of his crime.

Upon seeing that, Amanda screamed, “STOP IT!” and a bright light of a magic spell appeared and covered the whole Hangar Port Office.

All of the men around her was suddenly frozen but they were all burning instead of the traditional ice.

“What the?!”

“What was that?”

“Magic Spell? She just cast a spell man!”

“No she didn’t! I didn’t hear anything!”

But Amanda never ceased and screamed again.

“UNTIE HER!” and another magic spell of the same freezing blue fire was cast without a chant nor any kind of preparation and the men who was the target of her spell was frozen right there and then.

Amanda ran to her friend and freed her then went to the also tied Kathleen Brew since her captors had their feet burned and frozen.

Still, everyone who had received the attacks was not dead, only frozen, and their eyes moved towards the last of their still able members.

“I hate you!” She screamed and like a little girl saying she hate another kid, the blue fire magic was cast once again and the men burned, their bodies were engulfed in blue fire, and they froze right there and then.

“What is that ability?!” Kathleen couldn’t believe her eyes as she was freed by FlowerLord.

“Tier-4 magic spell, Freezing Fire.” FlowerLord told her and she took her Ceres then summoned the Dark Spear. The sight of the repulsive jet black sword made the men rattle but they can’t use their bodies so they all could only look at the weapon in the girl’s able hand.

“Wait.” Kathleen stopped her when she was about to strike their heads. “You can’t kill them even if you behead them. This is still the neutral zone.” At that, Kathleen’s eyes were dreaded and serious as she summoned a small knife and pierced a frozen man’s thigh. “You son of a bitch! Right back at you! This is a neutral zone, you can’t log out! And you can’t fuckin’ scream for help!”

The sight of her furious face was etched on the eyes of the men she had pierced the thigh. Their HP won’t be depleted when inside cities considered to be safe zones but still, once you’re hurt, it still hellishly hurt.

“Now you’re talking.” FlowerLord grinned and she then summoned multiple black mini spears and slowly stabbed those men on their thighs and bodies.

As the black colored poison slowly spread on their legs to their bodies, the men’s eyes were the only ones that can move as they were all frozen from head to toe and their mouths was inside the freezing blue flame.

Their eyes trembled, some even cried, they can’t move their heads nor even utter a painful cry.

“You fuckers! Trying to abuse women! You think we are weak?! You think we can’t fight back?”

“Endure the pain until you die! I will not stop on doing this, you hear me? I am Kathleen Brew! And I am not a good girl when I’m pissed off! How dare you!”

Kathleen stabbed them but there was no blood but the pain of the act was seen on the men’s eyes. The sadistic smile can’t seem to be satiated as FlowerLord also had her time slowly torturing the frozen victims.

Meanwhile, all these time, Amanda had been calling them but it seemed that with rage and fury, their ears had been blocked by their emotion.

And so what she did was refreeze the men. That caught the attention of the two and they stopped.

“That’s enough. Don’t torture them any more!”

“But these men touched you!”

“Yeah! They touched me too! I haven’t even had any boyfriend and yet these fuckers touched me!”

Kathleen Brew, upon the angry words, kicked and even stabbed a few wounds on the men near her. A thought then entered her mind as she looked around checking for the onlookers if they heard her words.

“That’s enough. I think they learned their lessons.”

On those words, the two angry women looked at the men and saw their crying faces with trembling eyes.

They can’t move their mouths since it was frozen by the fires and along with that was also the painful stinging sensation of the cold, yet, blazing hot freezing fire. The direct contact on skin during combat was really painful, what more could the actual unprepared contact could be at this moment?

“You better be.” Warned FlowerLord as she put another terrifying glance on the men. “What guild are they?”

“Fuma.” Answered the also angry NPC attendant and she threw a metal pen holder on the men. “The military is already in the way here. Thank you for making these men pay for all their crimes. This is a payback on what they did to my friend last week!”

“These sons of bitches!” Kathleen delivered a kick in the crotch of the one who tied FlowerLord earlier and the trembling eyes told her that the message had been sent on his brain through his nut. “I remember your face! If I so just see a speck of your shadow around us, I’ll really make sure that you will quit this game and your life in the real world!”

The threat was effective as the man’s eyes trembled with tears flowing down due to pain. And it was here that the kind hearted Amanda got near them.

In the men’s eyes were their pleading thanks, maybe, as they all followed Amanda with their eyeballs. But she stopped in front of them, held her hands close to her chest, and Kathleen and FlowerLord exchanged glances in pure confusion.

And with tear in her eyes, she cried. “Rex had only got as far as my eyes and yet you filthy men touched me! I will never forgive you! Never! Never! Never! Waaaaaa…”

Not only Freezing Fire, but Burning Ice, another Tier-4 magic spell, was also cast almost simultaneously and it was a sight to see as blue and red colored magic spells alternately flew on their direction, until it stopped for the fifth time that Amanda was already panting. If she wasn’t held down by FlowerLord and Kathleen, she would have continued on until she had used all of her Manna, who, mysteriously seem to never run out.

“Waaaaa…I’m not pure anymore…” Amanda cried as FlowerLord carried her towards the benches. Timing that the Military Police came and they all took the 20 men that seemed to have lost consciousness due to the shock they received with the simultaneous Tier-4 magic spells.

“Ssshh…it’s okay. You’re still pure. You’re still pure.”

“They touched me! Those filthy hands touched me!”

“Ssshh…they learned their lessons. They won’t do that anymore. They will quit being bastards from now on.”

“Y-Yeah…” Kathleen could only agree as she was also in shock to see such feat for the first time. And so she sent a PM that appeared in front of FlowerLord as a pop up message. [What was that just now?]

While caressing Amanda’s head, FlowerLord replied.

[Unique Skill. She put 100% of her points to MNA and unlocked the Sage Meditation. Grants 50% max MNA regen per ten seconds. Monstrous skill! So I gave her all my high level Talisman and Accessories. She can cast three spells almost simultaneously because of the junction abilities. I shortened all her casting time and cooldown period for each spell to 1 second.]

[But she doesn’t have a medium!]

[Special exception of Unique Magic Skill holders. In return, they can’t use any physical attack unless they punch or slap the enemy.]

[WTF!!!]

[I know.]

[She’s a monster like that Rex guy, that Destroyer!]

She wasn’t able to reply to the last PM as Amanda had already recovered and her sobs had stopped.

Although a few murmurs are still making its way out of her lips, the main event had already passed.

“Let’s go. I don’t want to be here anymore.” She said as she stood up and that’s where FlowerLord sent a PM to Kathleen who stopped and grimaced as she read:

[Rex had a baby brother in a coma and in order to pay for his operation to save his life, he made a deal with a devil. And his existence here might have something to do with it.]
