"he is still chasing..."

Shanti kept running to the forest where she buried those elves. The plan was to lure them from the town so Yana and Ragha could infiltrate the fort easier.

"hey!! where do you think you're going monster?!" Arshon shouted

Shanti didn't use her beast mode, so they could catch with her.

"this monster....she really know about "that" place"

He took of his gauntlets and changed it with a black whip. He focused and aimed it at Shanti's legs.

-ctass-

She evaded it easily. Arshon didn't stop there and continued to attack her.

"this.... monster.. quite fast.. huh!!"

-whuut-

He aimed at her head and her waist but it also could be evaded by her. He realized by now that this monster didn't run as fast as she could and wanted them to follow her.

"what's she trying to do..... why does she do this?"

One of the soldier approached him and talked to him.

"sir? can i catch her?"

".....sure"

The soldier nodded and used his skill

[EMPOWERED]

His physical ability went up and boosted, so now he was ready to catch her.

-dhaar-

Arshon only looked at him and gave this pessimistic looks. He just observed and saw that everything turned out just like he thought.

"i get you monster!!"

He tackled from Shanti's back and dashed as fast as he could. Shanti jumped and did this flying back kick toward him without even looking back.

-buugh-

"uaaagh!!" His body flew from the impact

Shanti flipped and regained her position to continue to run. That was happened less than three seconds.

"keep chase her!! don't let your guard down!"

"yes sir!"

"can't he judge from her reflexes and her speed when she fought with me earlier? there's no way a common [EMPOWERED] could match her" He sighed

He hoped that soldier could buy one or two seconds for them, yet he even couldn't do that simple thing. Tho, he already predicted that kind of outcome.

"but seriously.. those elves didn't use to fight and kill their enemy.. yet this Half-beast didn't hesitate even for one second when she fought me.. is that why that chief failed to annihilate them?"

Just when they entered the forest, Shanti stopped running and turned towards their direction.

"what's wrong? is this far enough to lure us away from the town?"

Shanti stared at him and responded.

"so, you already realize it? why are you following me then human?"

"well... we need to find out why are you doing that thing in the plaza.. and" He prepared his whip

"it's our duty to make sure a monster like you don't make any problem for our people"

"is that so? when exactly we make problem to your people?"

"well... to put it simply.. your existence itself is a problem for weak and hopeless human like us" He shrugged his shoulder

Shanti observed the man in front of her. Just from his gesture and intonation, she understood that he didn't mean any of his words. He didn't believe that monster would bring problem to him, also he didn't show any spesific emotion when he said that.

"you don't have any faith or reason to do this.. yet you will kill all the other race without any hesitation...then"

-zrek-

She pulled her knife and took her stance.

"I'll kill you here to stop your madness"

"ahahaha! monster like you talk about faith and reason?! really? well, if that make you coming at me, then i don't mind"

"men!! surround her!! I'll back up you from back row"

"yes sir!"

They ran and circled her. all the soldiers pointed their sword at her.

"at my command.."

Both of them hold their breath. Only the sound of the wind that could be heard. They waited for the signal.

-whuuss-

-traang-

An arrow was slashed by her knife. Right at that moment, they charged towards her.

"charged!!!"

Five soldiers surrounded her from four direction. Two of them wanted to stab her and the rest wanted to slash her.

Maybe because of her instinct as Half-beast, or her fighting sense started to awake, she could feel where their attacks were aimed at her body.

"two attacks to the head, two to the torso, and one to the stomach..."

-zraaash-

-whuuk-

Shanti moved forward and kicked her enemy in front of her. She also blocked one stab to her head with her knife at the same time.

-buugh-

-traang-

"uugggh..."

She rotated her body and faced towards the rest of her enemy. She took a very low stance and bowed her body.

-dhaar-

She dashed foward and headed to her left side. The soldiers who lost their timing because Shanti's block and movement couldn't react properly to Shanti fast counter.

"-fuuh- beast mode for few seconds.. and.."

She extended her left arm with her knife and dashed as fast as she could.

-dhaar-

No one could see what's happened at that very quick moment, except Arshon of course.

-zraaash-

All of the soldiers that was surrounding her fell to the ground with a slash wound on their stomach. Shanti stood on the ground without any scratch on her.

"-fuuh- twenty six remaining....."

"you... ahahaha, i promise you monster.. your death won't be very easy" Arshon smirked

"whatever, like i care about that human"

She took her stance again.
