Step-Thruss
A black silhouette zoomed through the trees, stepping on the branches making any nearby beasts have a hard time noticing.
'That was a long route. How big is this beast horde?' Jasmine pondered as he looked at the shadows that were leaving behind dust trails.
Jasmine thought she could easily do this work issued by Gale and quickly too. But she was proven wrong as the area the beast horde covered was very wide. She also saw a portion of it separating and going around.
'I hope the ones guarding the city notices.' She prayed, knowing that a small group was going for flank.
Jasmine felt there was more than one group going for flank. She could discern how grim the situation was going to be. 'I have to hurry up.'
Jasmine increased her speed, using all of her strength. She had made a straight cut on her skirt that made her move and maneuver easily.
A few minutes later, Jasmine was finally able to come behind the beast horde. She followed behind the destructive footprint left behind by the beast horde to track the origin.
Sprinting for a while, her eyes caught the sight of trees and grass with yellow leaves. She could also see various fruits in yellow color. 'Is this the Light Yellow Forest? Wasn't this place known for being the best habitat for beasts? Something is wrong.'
Jasmine entered the Light Yellow Forest and went deep while looking around her surroundings. She didn't have to do that, as the path she was taking was fully open because of the beast horde, but she was trying to be as safe as possible.
Suddenly, just as Jasmine turned her head forward from the left, her eyes widened in absolute shock. She quickly halted in her steps in fear.
Hundreds of meters away from her, she saw thousands of cultivators walking slowly in her direction. All of them had their eyes wide open, looking at her, but they didn't make any reaction to seeing her.
'What is going on? They seem to be like undead, with no sentience.' Jasmine hypothesized as she slowly backed away. She felt she could go around them to the source of this silently, as these guys look like they won't chase her.
But at that moment, her eyes widened when she saw close to a hundred cultivators sprinting at her.
…
Inside Nimona's cave.
"You dare to come near me? I won't let you live." Nimona was not especially mad at Jasmine; it was just that she was very annoyed.
People were constantly coming to spy on her place from one direction or another, it halted her from launching her army. However, there was little agenda here.
Nimona or her race fully boasted of their beauty. It was their arrogance and weapon for them to use. Nimona also believed she was the most beautiful looking, even in her race but now she was seeing someone who was as beautiful as her or if not more than her, it caused her to become mad.
…
Jasmine sprinted away easily, knowing these ones were far weaker than her. But that didn't make her calm down; instead, her danger senses were alarming her constantly.
'I can't see any danger in my surroundings, so why am I feeling like this? Is it!?" Suddenly, Jasmine's eyes widened as she looked up.
Massive shadows started to envelop the ground and Jasmine too. She saw various types of flying beasts coming toward her.
Jasmine quickly merged into the shadows created by the beasts and dodged their attacks.
Bang Bang Bang
All the beasts crashed down, not caring about what happened to their bodies.
Puchi
All of a sudden, Jasmine emerged from these waves of flying beasts, ripping off a bird-type beast's head.
Jasmine didn't enjoy her kill, she sidestepped away.
Bang
Another flying beast crashed into the place Jasmine just was in. Jasmine glanced at the flying beasts that were rising up and the ones in the sky. 'It looks like I have to come here later.'
She made a run at the forest as she could easily escape using the shadows created by the trees.
But the flying beasts won't let her do so.
Jasmine used her strength to its fullest, maneuvering in the shadows to dodge the attacks and using those shadows to use the "Nightshade Technique", killing the beasts with the poisonous, dark gas.
Then she would dodge by sidestepping, easily evading the mindless attacks.
From the outside, it appeared that Jasmine was performing a beautiful dance that was too dangerous for anyone to perform.
This brought her easily into the forest by the open path's side, letting her use the shadows in the forest to escape easily.
…
"ARGH!' Nimona screamed in anger, watching Jasmine escape.
She was surprised by Jasmine's skill which fueled her anger more. Her race was known for having the weakest female. They were not actually weak, they had many skills that made many fearful of them, like their ability to hypnotize people.
The reason for their weakness was their low skill in fighting. Except for their race, all the other races had women who were great at fighting or physical strength to speak of.
Nimona calmed her mind and started to ponder, as she felt she had heard of the skill Jasmine just used. 'If I remember correctly, mother once told me something about a race that was great at using shadows. Is she one of them? If so, I will make her my slave.'
…
IceFire Clan.
Gale rested on Julie's bed as he looked at her opening the door.
Julie turned her head around and gave him a seductive smile. "Gale, I will be back. I am still not satisfied. I want to dry that thing."
Thud
A helpless smile appeared on Gale's face. "What a woman, changing personalities like it's nothing. But I have to say, she is very fun to spend time with."
"And, she has a big background too." Gale curiously looked at Julie's status interface.
