Manationia was being attacked! Several figures broke into the inn room where she was, covered in black clothes, they quickly fired enhanced and cursed poisonous daggers at her!
She desperately created a rainbow barrier encompassing several elements at the same time, as she guarded herself from their deadly attacks!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
However, she was completely confused to what was going on, and her nervousness got the better of her, as these weapons had some sort of powerful mana-absorbing effect, quickly managing to shatter her barrier!
CRASH!
"Unggh…! W-What is this? Who are you people?!" she asked.
However, they remained in silence, they were most likely tasked to kill her for some reason!
"Hehe, I guess you need my help at long last, little Manationia!"
Suddenly, a strange little creature emerged behind Manationia, startling her!
"W-Who are you?!"
"I am your guardian spirit! Now do what I say, and you'll prosper!"
Manationia looked at the strange and bizarre little critter with eyes wide open, it resembled an octopus of some sort, which would be a primitive form of her ancestors, although such creatures still roamed around in smaller forms as insect-like ground and tree dwellers.
This little octopus had a single crimson-red eye, and a black as ink body. It looked truly demonic when Manationia looked at it, and she didn't wanted to have anything to do with it!
…If she were given such an option.
Because she wasn't!
"Guardian spirit, what are you even talking about?!" she asked nervously.
"No time for introductions, move over!" said the little black octopus.
"Uwah!"
CLASH!
Manationia was barely able to evade the attack as she jumped away in horror, her attackers remained silent but with the intention of killing her without any remorse!
"Attack now! Kill them! Use the power of death!"
"D-Death?!"
CLASH!
"GYYAAH!"
Manationia was almost sliced in half by a massive slash of darkness, which she jumped swiftly to evade thanks to her sharp instincts as a farm girl who had lived evading wild beasts near the forests where she lived.
The attackers quickly tried to gang on her, attacking from all sides!
She was going to die!
"D-Death!!!"
FLASH!
At her very command, the power of death emerged as magic poured from her body, her colorful feathers turned black and her power was enhanced, a sudden and dreadful aura emerged from her and made all her attackers suddenly gasp in horror, moving away from her with wariness in their eyes!
"Huh?! It worked!" she said.
"This is the power of death! Now wield this magic to kill them! Extract their souls out of their bodies!" said the devilish octopus.
"You're really quite insane!" she sighed.
"Kill them! Gyahaha!" laughed the tiny creature.
"W-What is this power?!"
"I had never felt such a thing!"
"Agghh…!"
Manationia couldn't do anything other than defend her own life, as she decided to retaliate and attack her attackers with everything she had in her. Her powerful Death Aura rushed through their bodies and easily absorbed their vitality!
"Uuuuaaggggh…!"
One of them suddenly screamed, Manationia gritted her beak, she didn't wanted to really kill people, but they came to kill her first!
Having all his life taken out of his body, the man dropped in the floor, dead and dried like a mummy!
The other attackers looked at the scene in utter disbelief, Manationia's power was incredible…
However, they couldn't run away when they were given the task of killing her!
The last two rushed towards her and unleashed magical attacks, two beams of darkness were about to hit her!
"Darkness…? Then take some light!" Manationia said nervously, her body feathers changed once more, turning bright yellow gold, they emanated a bright and beautiful color, encompassing the entire room, the darkness was completely devoured by the bright light, as the two men were burned alive by this flashing light!
BOOOM!!!
Almost the entire room where she was ended all destroyed!
Manationia looked at the scene in utter horror!
"GYYAAAAH! T-This is bad, very bad! This is going to cost me so much! I will never be able to get to the academy!" she cried, as her new spirit giggled.
"Wonderful work, Manationia! You really are a talented Sage!" it said.
"A-And what are you anyways?!" she asked, pointing her beak at him.
"I-I am your guardian spirit! I already told you…" said the creature.
"I have never heard of such a concept before…" she said.
"Well you heard of it now!" he said.
"I don't like this idea one bit!" said Manationia while angrily looking at the spirit.
"Hey! Don't blame me, you're the murderer here." Said the spirit.
"Agh! S-Should I revive them? Can I do that?" she wondered.
"I doubt you can do it, look how badly you did them… Maybe make them into your loyal Undead instead!" said the spirit.
"U-Undead?!"
"Come on, just do it! Will it with all your heart and Death Magic will hear your call! Poof! A lot of Undead will show up right after that." Said the spirit.
"You're not trying to trick me, aren't you?!" asked Manationia while squinting her eyes.
"I would never! Actually, bring them all as Undead, so they can help you out, will it with your mind, and the dead will hear your call! All elements are your power now, Manationia! You think these bad guys won't keep coming? If they came once, they'll surely come later on again! Do you want to live, Manationia?! Use your powers!" said the little thing.
"Uugggh… But its kind of disgusting to desecrate the dead!" she said.
"I know! But its not like you got any other option, girl. Come on, listen to my advice, I know my stuff." Said the creature.
"I am beginning to think you're just manipulating me… But its not like I can do much now, if I stay here, the Innkeeper will come to ask me for more money!" she cried.
Manationia sighed as she moved towards the corpses and closed her eyes shut. The energies coming from her body gathered the death element of magic over the corpses, as the souls of these people suddenly possessed each other's bodies randomly and were brought back to life- no, to undead!
