Chapter 4:

Despair

Love Takes Many Forms, One of Which is Death


"Karin Arlyn, pardon me. I am the representative of the Shield & Sword company, the largest company in the country that has the only hunter with Orange Mana Core. Nice to meet you. ha ha"

He smiled, laughed and stretched out his left hand to Karin,

"Oh sorry, I'm left-handed. I use my right hand to rub my butt, so the left hand is better for you. The most potential person in this country."

"Let's accept this introductory greeting."

Karin started on her alert and held the handle of the knife by her waist. The man before her was strong; the people guarding outside the inn were also powerful.

The other people in the cafe were slowly leaving, some of them were sure there would be a scene in this place and some also left because they didn't want to get involved.

"Join our company, I will guarantee your safety and, your future".

The man held out a business card with the shield and sword logo on it.

"Is this how you recruit new members?"

The man pulled himself up and leaned back on the chair.

"No, no, no, of course not. Most of them came to us and knelt down to be allowed to join. Your case is special, so we come and beg you humbly. ha ha ha".

"Carrying dozens of people with complete weapons? is that how you are humble."

"Ho ho ho, there's no need to be afraid. They only came to do errands in this area, the person in front of you right now is enough to handle you, am I wrong?"

His body leaned towards Karin while giving a smile, Karin realized the threat he was making. With his strength, Karin firmly believes that ten people like Karin are not enough to face him, that's why Karin tries to find an opening to leave this place.

The inn door opened, maybe Karin could use her ability to move quickly and leave here, Karin tried to whisper to activate her ability.

"Dimensional Move"

Instantly a powerful wind wrapped her body; her body became very light. The time around her seemed to stop spinning, Karin lifted her body and immediately ran towards the door while still keeping her eyes on the man sitting there, the man's head turned to follow Karin's running direction, a light smile still stuck to his face.

'Shit'

Karin was still trying to run outside; there were dozens of people standing guard there, keeping a distance of about 5 meters from each other

Karin stomped her feet firmly one time, and she immediately jumped for 10-meter length.

Until the point that Karin's body suddenly hit the transparent wall, which made her face and ribs crushed, which then threw her back in the opposite direction, and time went back.

There was a protective wall surrounding the inn, the people outside were not only on guard but also released an extensive range of barriers, and with the strength that Karin had wasn't enough to break through this wall.

Instantly the man who was previously sitting inside stood in front of Karin, she had fallen and was moaning in pain from the collision with the protective wall she had just felt.

"Gosh, did I scare you? ck ck ck. They're practicing to make a protective wall, I'm sorry for my carelessness."

"Come here, I will help you".

The man stretched out his hand, but Karin was still trying to find a way to leave this place quickly.

Dimensional Move is magic that consumes an enormous Mana energy for the user because the purpose of the magic is to escape from a dangerous situation. That's why it will consume an optimal amount of Mana to make as long as a distance as possible.

The first attempt has failed, and Karin must think of another way.

"Sorry for my impoliteness".

He still stuck out his hand and tried to help Karin get up.

"Did the Warrior Union pay you to kill me?"

Karin asked, still trying to digest what happened.

"The rat organization? Jeez who are they dare to pay us? No, no".

"We came with good intentions".

The man shook his head, and with his face adorned with smiles, he still reached out towards Karin. Karin slowly got up from her position and carefully positioned herself for another attack.

"Increase Dexterity"

"Wind Blessing"

Karin stomped her feet very hard and threw herself forward, the knife drew the neck of the man in front of her, with a split second Karin made a slashing motion towards the man's neck, but the man's body disappeared leaving a shadow that was dissolved with the wind.

Karin stomped her feet on the dusty ground, wrapped her body with dust so that it covered her movements, five meters in front of her the man was standing still watching what was happening.

"Dimensional Move"

Karin moved very quickly behind the man and threw the knife back at the man's back. The man immediately turned his body, tilted his head and bit the tip of Karin's knife, very strongly he straightened his head back, causing Karin's body to fall to the ground.

"Ugh"

"Dimensional Move"

Karin tried to get back up, but the man's leg was already lifted and was ready to drop Karin's body back. With a speed that Karin could not follow, the man's feet landed on Karin's body which was still in a fallen position and pushed her body more in-depth into the ground. The layer of soil around her body cracked and raised to the surface

Her ribs felt broken, and she could no longer move her body, fresh blood was rushing from her mouth and a deep pain she felt in her body.

Karin tried to make another move, but her body doesn't allow her. The Mana that has been drained and her body that is badly injured makes Karin lock into position. Even if she rebelled, there was nothing she could do

"Ugh, ughh"

Karin was still trying to move her body, which was then followed by the man's right leg pressing her body. Powerful energy pushed Karin further into the ground. Her body became increasingly locked and was in a state that was utterly impossible for Karin to move even a single hair.

"Enough. There's no need to rebel."

"I don't like violence".

"Try not to start first, I won't bother moving a little bit".

"What now? Want to accept my offer?"

"We will protect you from the rat organization. Give you a team and do dimensional explorer assignments with us Interesting right?"

"Bids coming from strongest companies in this country".

"The state is unable to obstruct the will of our company".

"Why? do you know the reason."

"Strength is a symbol of power".

"You see the evidence for yourself".

"How weak are you in front of me".

ck

The man clicked his tongue,

"Come on, it's getting night."

He waved at the other members who were still maintaining their positions around the inn, several of them walked over.

"Wa, wai?"

The man turned again to Karin, who was trying to say something.

"Why?"

"Why do we want you?"

"Ohh, our Queen doesn't realize about her strength".

"Makes me want to apologize for today's behavior"

"Please forgive me in the future my Queen".

The man smiled back

'Queen? What kind of brag is this? Is the Queen treated like an animal? Like a slave? The struggles I've had in the past five years should end this easily.'

'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck'

'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck'

'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck'

'Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck'

'I have to kill them'

'Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill'

'Everyone in this place, the entire Warrior Union or Shield & Sword organization, whatever it is'.

'Bastard'

'Die you die'.

'Die, die, die, die, die, die, die.'

'Die, die, die, die, die, die, die.'

'Die, die, die, die, die, die, die'

The sun at the end of Karin's sight had completely set and the night began to slowly come three moons appeared to decorate the sky with 2 of them emitting a faint light and the other one emitting bright blood-red light, falling to the ground and creating shadows from the buildings in the area that and the people standing around Karin

Karin's vision began to blur, and suddenly the darkness stretched out Karin's body from her feet to cover her entire body, at least that was what the eyes of other people around her saw. The shadow unites with Karin's body and wraps it intact, making only a very dense dark wave surround Karin's body and slowly cover her whole body.

Some of them held their bodies, stopped hesitating at Karin's state. Cold sweat emerged from their foreheads and faces.

"No, no, no, our Queen's getting angry. Tee-naw, tee-naw, tee-naw. Emergency, emergency. Return to each position and create a stronger barrier than before, it will be a very long night."

The man in front of her immediately wrapped himself in an iron armour from toe to head; a great sword fell from his left hand to the ground.

"Ouch, what nonsense. Even though this can be resolved properly, right? Why did it have to be like this"

Karin's body slowly rose, standing straight facing the man in front of her. Her body was completely enveloped in shadow and merged with the darkness of the night.

Some people try to cast magic to bring the embers into his hands, believing that Karin's power will get weaker with more light, but it seems that it is just a stupid act he did.

"Hey, turn off your magic."

The man in armour shouted a warning, but it seemed too late.

Karin, who was annoyed by the embers of the fire, quickly moved towards the man and stuck the knife in the man's neck. She turned the knife around the man's neck until his head fell off his body and instantly, his life was gone.

Several of the people nearby jerked back from their positions, causing the barrier to sway slightly. The protection magic they put on themselves wasn't enough to withstand Karin's attacks

Karin stood there and slowly turned back to the man in armour that Karin had previously faced

'Die'

'Die'

'Die'

Karin whispered, in a voice, only she could think of

-Karin, run away Karin

-Karin, run

Another sound came and forced her way into Karin's consciousness. The voice of a foolish woman who has left this world

'Even in death she still tries to interfere with my life'.

'Should I kill you again after your death?'

'I will followed you to Hell and killed you a second time'.

'Die'

'Die'

'Die'

The dark shadows on Karin's body stretched out towards the people who were on guard around her in a large circle, the shadows wrapped around their bodies, some of them tried to run but in vain.

Some of them have their bodies squeezed until the blood is drained out of the mouths.

Some else have the wounds formed by the bones that penetrate their skin from the inside make their body left in pathetic condition.

Fall, fall, fall. One-third, half of them are dead, only about 20 people who are creeping try to run but can't because their bodies or legs are wrapped by the shadows sticking out of Karin's body.

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Ha ha ha ha"

The man in armour who was still standing there, laughing unbearably, he squatted, holding his stomach because he could not hold back his laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Ha ha ha ha"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Karin slowly approached the man, looked at the man's face. Karin doesn't need to look down to match her head position with the man who is leaning forward, holding his stomach.

"HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA"

"HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA"

"HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA"

"HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA"

Karin laughed at the man in a much more robust and shrill voice, no, more precisely she was laughing with satisfaction in her heart. The happiness that she always covets. She liked this situation, corpses and blood surrounded her.

"HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA"

"HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA"

The man in front of her had stopped laughing, stood up straight and watched Karin with a pale face.

Karin raised her knife and licked the blood on its sharp lining. Sweet, sweet, sweet that was what Karin felt, Karin licked it over and over again until there was no blood left there

-Karin, run away Karin. Run

-This place is dangerous, Karin, run

Karin wanted to finish the action, but she was a little aware that even though her power had suddenly increased in this form, it was still her strength that she was using. With her Mana Energy depleted and her body weakened, every strike and move cost her body a toll fee. Karin could lose her life if she continued all this.

Her hearing that increased many times reminded her, of a group of people who were approaching from afar. They were many times stronger than the person in front of Karin.

It was time to leave, Karin released her grip on the people around her, turned towards the forest and walked slowly, each step lightly made her move 20 meters away, 30 meters away and in just a few steps her body had disappeared into the darkness of the forest.

Karin continued to walk calmly, through the trees, through time and space, leaping away with just one light step, until she was truly deep in the depths of the forest.

The shadows wrapped around her slowly faded, her delicate white face began to appear as the veil that covered her fell and emitted moonlight, splashes of blood and moonlight merging over her face. There was a smile there, on her face that was emitting a bright light.

Karin's body fell to the ground, into the grass and weeds that covered the ground. The plants around her suddenly withered and died; her body absorbed life force around.

Her power has deprived, made she closed her eyes, unable to open them again, and

Lost
