Chapter 1:

Fate/Beginning

Malefic Slayer


I was walking, no it was like I was dragged by someone in this hot weather.
Really hot that I was losing my strength to move ahead.
On top of that, Me 'Volt Fang' and My master who was walking next to me covered ourselves with some heavy black clothing.
Are we on o top classified mission?
Or in disguise?
Maybe I will think we are in disguise for now.
It is too hot!
My legs were giving and this weather is killing me.
Ahhh.... Too hot.
I was sweating too much underneath this skull face mask.
I wanted to take it off but there is a reason.....
If I die due to heatstroke, SOMEONE? Condemn my master! I want justice.
My master, his name is Boras Radars,like me he is a Maleficer that belongs to the same guild 'Dragon Fang' as me.
When I first met him, my impression was for him was a weak person who could be know down by single glare.
He is a bookworm person, always reading a book called 'Ero situation'.
I don't know what is interesting about that book, whenever I opened the first page my eyes get sleepy. Maybe I can used when I can't sleep.
Hmm... Useful.
But something about him make me
interesting.
When he was about to left for a journey, then I made my mind to follow him. But no, for the rest of my life.

Yesterday was a awful night.
When we entered a town, with a intention to stay for the night.
People passing by gives us a strange looks and whispering to thier 'Don't go near them' 'Dangerous'.
We do look suspicious people, all covered up by black cloth from head to toe.
Even the town Major bombard us with questions for hours.
It was really hard and exhausted.
Then, dawn was about to come, I sit and rest for a while in a bed.
We planned to head to our hometown tommorow.
I was very, very excited and imagine their reaction if they saw me how much I grown.
When I was about to fall asleep.
Master wake me up 'Wake up, stuipd', due to that I wasn't able to rest for a minute.
Now------
"Master, Have we reached yet?" I said in a exhausted tone.
Of course I was tired!
Without facing me, he calmy said something nonsense: "We will reach after another 3 years if you get tired from just few steps."
Did I heard that clearly?
You bastard!!
Today, a thought that I always wander for 3 years came out.
Is he a monster?
Then...Die nooowwww!!!
Sudden, he stopped.
Did he-
"Hey,..... Did you just cursed me?"
Huh?
Did he just read my mind? Or
He used a skill to read someone else 's mind?
"Master's head isn't working properly. Look~ The weather is hot that you gone mad. You must be imagining things"
Save!!
For now I was saved but behind his disguise I could feel his glare piercing me telling me 'Oh... Really?'
Before he said another word, I-
"Master! Let's race~"
I hate to run in this weather, but what choice did I have?

At the time---

"Volt kun...Wa-Wait!❤️"
"Ahhhh!"
Early in the morning...
A loud and weird voice of a girl coming from a room.
The room was one of the room of a haunted looking mansion.
Inside the room--
A crimson hair colour girl sleeping soundly, dreaming about 'something'
From the scream, it doesn't look like a decent dream.
A lewd dream?
Wonder what is she dreaming about?
"I'm happy~" she murmured to herself while her face covered with a blanket.
She rolled around and fall from her bed, landing with her face.
But she didn't let out a sound in a pain, remain silent.
She stood up slowly.
Her blanket fell--
With her back to the rising sun.
Her back's skin was declicate and beautiful.
Her body had all the round curving charecteristics of a mature girl though she was 16 years old.
Then, her two soft white arms, that anyone not help but be enchanted.

While naked, she stepped outside the balcony.
Far away there was no one, no single soul to enjoy the golden view.
That's why she stepped outside naked.
The sun made her eyes squinted, but only her right brown eye.
Her left eye were covered by her front bang.
With her long crimson hair that reached her waist, fluttering in the sunlight.
While her white shoulder dazzeled.
She speak to herself "It's been 3 years....."
She had a serious look on her face that it was becoming hard to believe she just had a lewd dream.

I reached my town--
"Oh man! Ohhhh Maan!! Ohmanohmannan!"
My eyes darted everywhere, watching the people passing by.
The same store, the busy people and the same useless people, everything didn't change.
But something was bugging me--
The same thing.
"Master, can we remove this suspicious outfit?"
People passing by stared us negatively again and after my excitement shout makes it even worse.
This is bad....
We need to--
"Hurry up! To the guild"
"We should do that from the start, the moment we get here!"
We search for a book store for my master, his 'Ero situation' next series.
——Welcome back
From behind a familiar voice, a old man voice.
I know whose voice is that I don't need to look back.
From the moment, I step in this town, people around us been cautious.
I can't blame them, I was wearing a creepy skull face mask and black cloth like a follower from a scam religious in this extreme hot weather.
But when I heard this voice, I feel home.
Without wasting any second, I jumped toward the sound.
"Gra-!"
But I stopped.
There was people surround us in blue coat, showing hostile behaviour towards us.
"Huh?"
One of them, weared a normal clothes like a common person.
He was just an ordinary old man lacking charecter.
Average height, he had a look so ordinary that I could lose him in the crowd--but the blue power rangers made him stand out.
Why he is surrounded by this kind of group?
—Adventurers Guild—
It’s an organization that helps adventurers Maleficer find work or otherwise supports them.
In other words, a office.
And he is the guild master.
His name is Merin R---
"Hey, Brother"
Master first broke the awkward moment.
The important part.
Both of them are siblings, Merin Radars and Boras Radars.
Shocking right?
The elder brother looked like a 60 years old man but if I remember correctly his age was 40+ and the younger brother was in his middle aged.
I'll believe if they say they are father and son, no grandfather and grandson.
Anyone will right?
When I was enjoying my reunion, I forgot how he figured us out?
"Gramps?"
"Whooooaaa!!" He was trembling with excitement after I called him. Did he just noticed it was me?
"Volt!!" He exclaimed.
He knew me, but late reaction.
He waved his hand, telling the guards 'Calm down''Leave us alone'.
"Gramps---"
"Brother, How did you know it was us?" Master interrupted before I finished.
"You are a Non- Maleficr... Then how.."
Master thought he had no flaws in our disguise, but Gramps knows. So that made him flustered.
Gramps forced a smile and pointed at Master's chest.
Master and me looked and become froze.
The suspicious treatment and the heat we bear all was meaningless we realized that when we saw a green colour dragon head badge.
It was a 'epic rank badge'.
The badge----
It indicates you are a member of a guild.
Different guild had different designs of badges.
Our 'Dragon Fang' guild had a Dragon head badge.
Different colours and name tells us the rank of a Maleficer in a guild.

Mythic - Red
Legend - Violet
Gold - Gold
Epic - Green
Sliver - Sliver
Warrier - Brown
And the last, Copper - no badge.
Copper rank Maleficer had no badge.
Thus, I'm a Copper rank Maleficer.
Cause of that, Gramps know us right away.
Tragic..
Should I take the chance and take out the anger that I built up for 3 years?
"Damn iiiiffggggtttttt!!!!!?!!"
Master lost his mind and shout as loud as he could.
Everyone took a few steps backwards from him.
Then before I do something, he was in his usual calm mode.
"Volt....I'm heading home... I'll see you soon at the guild..." He sound weak and...... Disguise trauma?
He left slowly, like a person who was just REJECTED!
"Okay?" I replied reflectly.
I could called him and comfort him but I ignored him.
"Hey, Volt......(I turned my head) if you are goona look for her. She left for a quest a while ago."
Gramps mentioned someone, without saying her name. I completely understand who he is talking about.
I sightly nodded in response.
Then I thought of something, I--
"Gramps, tell me where she went and about the quest? In detail!"
"Okqy?"
Then Gramps explicit the things that I need to know. I planned to head there.
When I was about to go, he stop me.
"Volt, don't you need to remove the disguise?"
But I smiled in return and he understood what my smile mean.
UNDERSTANDING LEVEL MAXXX!!
She was the one, I wanted to show my face first.

In the meantime, at a certain forest-
"Aiieeeieie?!!" A scream of a little girl , running for her live, chased by the bull-headed man-beast, the Minotaur.
She run as fast as she can, with a thought 'not to be that Minotaur's dinner'.
The Minotaur's hoof comes crashing down behind her.
It missed!
And again the hoof but this time she rolled.
"Hoo-Gooo!!"
"Waahhhhh!!!?"
All she can do now is scoot her cute sorry butt back.
She fell and hit her back along her sliver hair against the ground.
Now there really was nowhere to run.
She was cornered.
The Minotaur's nose draw closer to her, it's putrid breath pounding her skin.
He look up at its ridiculously muscular body and gulp a little.
It has to be at least 4x times her size.
The girl was 12 years old. A Loli...
The next moment, a line shoots across the creature's torso.
"Huh??"
"Uoohh??"
Both of them where confused.
The line travels through the thick pectoral muscles, across the raised leg, up the thigh, to the shoulders and finally out the Minotaur 's neck.
"Guuu??...GuuuuuAaauaaaa!!!"
It's dying roar of suprise and pain through the forest.
The beast's body falls to pieces.
The time she noticed she was covered by the beast's blood.
It was the crimson hair girl who slay the Minotaur easily.
Even in her custom-made armor, she radiates her feminine beauty.
She pointed her blood-soaked sword downward, the blood dripping harmlessly to the ground.
She went to the girl.
She coldy gazed her and said:
"Are you....okay?" She look unfriendly at first but she is a considerate person.
The girl covered in blood, look suprised to be alive.
Out of nowhere, a boy drenched in sweat came out from the bushes.
"Ka-kathy!!"
Anxiety were all over his face, after he saw the girl he felt releived and sit down slowly, leaning his back against the tree, catching his breath.
All this time, he was looking for his younger twin sister 'Katherine' which he called 'Kathy'.
The Crimson girl suddenly become alert, she scene someone's else presence.
She pointed towards the direction where she sense someone with her sword.
Then she become confused, where to pointed her sword.
They were surrounded.
Behind the trees, bushes! Flock of minotaur came out breathing heavenly in a sync.
"Hoe.....ho......."
They look angry, their eyes were bloodshot.
Why? Of course.
She kill one of their kind.
"Captainnn!!"
The boy rush at the Crimson girl and hide behind her.
The 'Captain' remain calm, close her one brown eye, concentrate and count the number of minotaur.
1...2..5...8...13...16...19....25..27..30
Total 30 minotaur!
But one of the minotaurs, a unique one whose size was twice the normal size, and its horn was enormously big.
The Bose Minotaur-----
The Leader of the minotaur, who gives command to a flock of minotaur that surpassed both in intelligence and strength than the other minotaur.
The two twin silbling hide behind her, trembling in fear.
She confidently said:
"Katherine and Drac.... Leave this to me."
'I will protect you guys.'
Again she closed her eye, slowly inhale deeply.
The sword she had, disappeared like a magic dust.
She cross her amrs, hands downward like pulling a double sword----
"Ex...Quip"
As soon as she murmured, out of thin air , two dual sword, appear in her both hands.
-----Ex-Quip-----
It is a type of skill that allows a Maleficer to swap or summon their own weapons, armor and clothes at will.
First, from behind the kids, a minotaur charge furiously.
But she bisect it, nicely like cutting a butter.
It happened in a second, that the minotaur had no chance to let out its last roar.
In their language, the boss ordered them to get her at one time.
After they a received their order, all of them jumped towards her, roar like a battlecry that could be heard far away.
At the time---
"Skull onii Chan?"
"Huh?"
"Where are you going?"
"I have a thing to first. N-No! Don't worry! I'll get you home safety later."
She nodded slightly.
I give a little girl piggyback, who I found lost on my way.
Then I jumped from tree to tree, following the source of a roar.
Tree to tree is faster than road.
I know what the roar is about, it is a minotaur's battlecry and they unusual do that.
Then they are facing someone, ridiculously strong.
It is her.
Gramps said she, Katherine and Drac went together to exterminate minotaur, they were causing trouble to the near Village.
Without a doubt it's her.

After a few minutes, some minotaur were left, but lost the will to fight.
She stand with her one soaked sword,without showing any sign of tiredness.
"Huh?" A sneak attack.
"Stay awayyy!!" One minotaur wait for a right moment to execute their plan, to sneak attack the two silbling.
Cornered.
Then one minotaur take the chance to hit her, when the crimson was distracted.
Without thinking about her, she used her sword as a spear and aim at the head of the attacking minotaur.
A instant kill.
Then she lost her one sword that she could protect herself.
She didn't had any way to protect from that minotaur's punch.
A minotaur grip was able to kill ten people at one time.
But she wasn't a person to die from one punch.
Bannnggg!!!!
She should have taken the damage but the punch didn't reached her.
The first thing she saw was a skull face mask and a little girl's face.
"Huh?"
She was already pointing a short dagger at the skull face.
So there was a way to protect herself!

I jumped and landed on a minotaur's head and it's head is smashed and died.
But what I did was cool, a dynamic entry.
"Oh Mann..."
I saw, what was terrible sight.
Surrounded by dead bodies of minotaur, lying around, cutted in pieces that make me remind of something..
I walked towards Katherine who was covered in blood.
What is she doing?
Wowwww! I just noticed something.
She is now grown up- but my eyes naturally focus on that area that hasn't develop yet.
"Please~ I'm not someone suspicious."
It was too fast to noticed but with her short dagger she placed around my neck.
Her looks were filled with doubt.
I step a little backward and put the little girl from my back.
"Miss, stay with that girl" I patted on her head.
And look at Kathy.
"Kathy, take care of her"
She titled her head, puzzled.
Did she noticed that? Unconsciously, that name slipped from my mouth.
Wait! She didn't ?
"Kathy?.. you.."
I walked away immediately.
The Crimson girl let her guard down.
Did she also realised who am I too?
"Yo-!"
"Like I said! I'm not someone suspic--"
"Guuuuuu!!!"
Only two?
Did they wait for us to finished our talk? Or too scared to attack me?
She should-
A thought strike inside my mind.
I was forgetting something.
Well... If you don't remember something then it is not something important.
The normal one first came rushing toward me first, clenching it's fist to smash me.
"Watch out!"
Is there a rule to send your underling first?
"Guuuuuu!!"
"Do you really want to die first?!"
When it's fist was about to reached me, I swiftly lower my head.
Though it's little punch wasn't enough to kill me.
From my viewpoint, I saw its ugly face close up,then I saw a opened around his neck and without hesitation smash it.
Nicely done.
Everyone became amaze.
Katherine and the little girl, their mouths were open widely. Maybe they are thinking 'Woowww''Amazing' like that.
The last boss breathing heavenly, stood facing opposite to me.
I returned a 'grin face' , provoking it.
"Guuuhwww!!"
This next I wanna do something different.
Both of us, dash head to head.
He furiously returning to my provoking, charge with its huge horn
I clenched my fist, sudden a blue colour like a shape of flame unleashed from my fist.
Here comes my signature move---
"Malefic Burst... Fisttttt!!"
My special move, a skill when I concentrate my 'Malefic energy' at my fist, that increases my destructive power.
Before it's horn hit me, I quickly smashed it's head, making its body fly away.
Blood splashing from its ear and eyes, nose like squeezing a tomoto.
My hand were soaked by the colour of red blood.
Of course! After that damage, blood should be flying everywhere.
I cleaned my hand with my black cloth and then removed it.
"I,(turned my back, removed my skull mask) Volt Fang has returned!"
