The sword princess' tale

Volume One Chapter 6 - Desperation

-some times ago somewhere out of the reach of any being with proper moral senses......

"Ugh... Ugghhhh....... Finally. I can finally leave this hell full of tentacles..."

A weak voice followed by wet sound appeared from the darkness. It was deep within the tunnel which led to the monstrosity for any female creatures would for sure fear for. And the haggard figure, tainted after two years (counting with human calendar) dragged her feet away from the accursed place.

"......damn... it... this is all because of her... This is that whore's fault...! I won't forgive her!! I will definitely make her suffer!! I won't stop at defiling her... I will make sure she will regret for living to this day enjoying sexes so care freely!!"

Her hoarse voice, after being forced to drink disgusting liquid and something that could never be described echoed hollowly in the tunnel. But after a long silence abruptly happening, a laughter suddenly appeared.

"......oh well. At the very least... I have done it. Thankfully, the banishment of the human whom that whore favored for was just a distraction. Khu khu khu khu......! Now, let's see if your Champion can even endure being hit by an eternal Curse!! A delayed magic won't be detected by Helios-nii after all!! Hya ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

Nearly a week passed by. I didn't try to pry the driver whether the destination was long or short as that would be showing how selfish I was at certain points. I'm just impatient. Granted, I was not able to fight. As Raumia has calmer situation monster or bandits attacking a caravan was not as common as I thought it would be.

Even at the rarest occasion when a group of monsters appeared, it always happened nearing dusk and at night. Obviously they were the situations where Fei would throw me back into the caravan and tied me up using ropes to prevent more troubles (or so he said).

Meanwhile, I watched how a real battle unfolded. With real arms to use, and with the risks of dying, I observed how gruesome reality was in this world. Excluding Fei who dashed off for the highest kill counts without minding his wounds, the systematical battle between Adventurers against monsters and ferocious wild beasts were very astounding. Yet ruthless.

For example, when fighting agile monsters the party would usually gather in circle to defend the mage and when the enemy attacked, the frontline would halt the advances to allow their support to destroy their enemy with homing magic missiles. Of course, if the enemy was all light and fast, then it'd be okay but in Magnis, monsters have different threshold of strength.

Like a dire wolf. One has the ferocity of a predator, as quick as the wind and they have powerful claws capable to gash huge wounds in one strike. Combined with their cunning, coordination ability when in a pack, these dire wolves were notable threats.

Other beings such as alraunes, treants and their rare variants are often seen in this region. This country definitely has a problem against monsters which popped out of nowhere. But anyway-

"Cut it out already! Stop acting so reckless you scatterbrain!!"

I hit the black haired boy at the head with full power. But instead of him hurting, my hand now hurts! Damn, the level and stat differences between us was like heaven and earth and it was very problematic to drive a few screws into his mind!!

But everyone has started to get used to the usual bickering between me and Fei and some even looked at us with warm gazes. Honestly, these people are strange or am I the strange one here? At any rate, after the last encounter with monsters we have to climb up a hill and after that was the scene where we could see the overall of the town.
