Dominatrix System

Chapter 189: Refilled

Turning mana into energy was a slow process, and my body was dripping with sweat as I continued to move almost imperceptibly to the naked eye. My ability to move even slower was growing at a much faster speed than I thought after those fights in the City. The slower I could move my body in practice, the more I could control my muscles and my body to the minuscule muscle, and the more power I could bring out in combat.

My fights in the City were a show of force that told me that I was nowhere near invincible and that their were others that could kill me. That Swordsmen was only caught off guard, and that torture master was a person that was too full of himself. The Wizard and the Commander was a duo that almost killed me multiple times, and if it wasn't for the Commander thinking that she could disarm me by stepping onto a powerfully enchanted weapon, then I would have been dead.

That fat wizard's Ice magic was something I had not encountered before, but it was a weird way to use Ice magic. I didn't know how I would use it, but I thought creating giant ice grenades was not a good solution. It was such a brute-force solution when you could do so many things. I did know that you could create spikes and various things away from the body, so I just thought it was bad craftsmanship. I never made it far in the study of wizardry, and it showed.

Now my body was slowly filled with Energy that, I could finally take a break as I slowly completed a fifth set of movements. My attention was on the conversation of mana to the energy that I had not even noticed that it was morning again as my eyes started to open up, and a cabin window brought in the morning sun. I was soaked, and my limbs felt sore but limber as I normally stood once again.

The refreshing exhaustion as I was refilled with Energy was something only those who were as powerful as I could understand. I was still weak in this world but above the general public. I looked in the Captain's cabin and noticed Kara, Stacy, and Freya still sleeping with Kitty curled up cutely in her cage sleeping. Melony was passed out on the floor in the corner as the ship rocked slowly on the waves of the river.

I walked out of the cabin and noticed some sailors moving around with a man up in the crow's nest, watching out. I noticed the Necromancer looking out behind us with an expression of contemplation. It looked like they were deciding their fate while watching the ship move through the river.

The wind licked my sweat-covered skin, and I walked to the front of the ship to look out before us, and in the distance, I could see lights coming in. It seemed that I had been in my zone longer than I thought and that we would reach the City soon. I didn't care to know my geography, so I didn't know the name of the city, but looking at it now, I felt nothing but anxiety as we neared it.

This would be the main turning point for our forces escaping. We could not miss it as there was the capital after this, too, before we left into the ocean, leaving the Empire behind. Looking forward, you saw some ships coming in our direction, and I wondered why this was the first ship I had seen heading past us.

In the river, there was plenty of space for the both of us, and I felt nothing but relief as the other ship passed us without incident. The worst part of the escape was not the moment you escaped but the time reaching safety. Holding out through this was going to stress the ladies out, and I watched out for a period of time as the ship started to wake and come more to life, reliving the night crew.

Kara and Stacy soon gathered on a clear part of the ship, with Stacy handing her a club this time. It was just a round stump they found somewhere, and Stacy had a sword which she was good with. They clashed once, then twice, as Kara tried her best to hit Stacy. Kara swung the club hard and clumsily obviously untrained. Stacy easily continued to deflect and reorientate the blows as I watched, and Kara seemed to be trying her hardest.
