The sun had already appeared and shone on the City of Heles.
A girl with white hair like snow was standing under a shady tree with her arms crossed.
Horizontal branches hang at the ends, forming a shady shade.
Downy branches mixed with glandular hairs as well as leaves.
The shaded banyan tree hide her from the sun.
Knee-high grass grew around it.
In front of it there is a path that is often traversed by the wheels of the merchant's carriage.
Anna's short white hair waved in the wind.
Her clothes were made of simple materials, a light blue cloth that was rough and loose covering her belly.
A breastplate is made of multiple layers of vertical leather with square edges and is unadorned.
This leather armor, only covered the front, the back was where the straps were and provided no real protection.
This leather armor was Silvie's masterpiece.
She gave it to Anna for free when She found out that Anna had spent all her hard earned money on a shabby sword.
Anna was wearing brown trousers made of the same material as her clothes,
She didn't want to look flashy so she opted for clothes with dark tones.
Her beloved sword was sheathed on her right waist. Anna also carried a small knife strapped to her right thigh.
From a distance she looks like a white rose.
Beautiful though thorny.
She had been standing here for two hours. Waiting in front of the east gate under a shady banyan tree.
From where she stood Anna could see everyone entering or leaving the east gate.
The east gate in the morning was still so deserted that there was no way she would miss her friends. But she still didn't see them.
Anna was getting annoyed.
She saw the sunlight slipping behind the leaves of the banyan tree.
The sun was getting higher and higher. Indicates that morning will become noon.
The leaves of the banyan tree swayed in the wind.
She could see sunlight reflecting off the grass in front of her.
There was no rain last night or this morning, but the wind from the Bog forest brought dew that watered the grass around it.
Anna was getting annoyed, when she was about to decide to go home and felt cheated, four teenagers came and waved at her.
"Where have you been? It's already noon!" Anna who saw her friends started to get angry.
"uhh, sorry Anna, there-" Tristan tried to explain.
"Anna! We are not wild girls like you, this morning I have to wash, cook and clean the house. I don't have a maid who always keeps the house clean like your mother" Lina cut Tristan word and sneered at Anna.
She has a mature body unlike girl on her age.
Lina didn't carry a sword, only a small knife strapped to her waist. She was wearing a white shirt and tight pants.
Her thin clothes made the shadow of her breasts visible. Lina also unbuttoned her top two buttons, revealing her cleavage.
Her breasts looked more prominent than usual, she didn't tie her breasts with a strophium like Anna but wore a corset.
Her face looks a little red maybe because of the powder she used. Most likely Lina wasn't late because she helped with the housework but because she took the time to dress up.
"That's right! Anna, we don't have a maid like your mother" Vivi supported Lina's opinion and didn't forget to insult Anna's mother.
The house is always clean, food is warm, and clothes are always available make Anna's neighbors jealous. Likewise with Lina and Vivi's family.
Vivi is an innocent little girl. She is often found always behind Lina.
Her blonde hair was braided in two revealing a small and cheerful face. Small pouting lips and innocent green eyes make people who see it want to pinch her chubby cheeks.
Her white, clean skin and short body make people suspect that Vivi's age is older than her actual age.
Vivi had the same clothes as Lina, as if the two of them were twins.
But Vivi's small breasts don't seem to change at all despite wearing a corset.
They were both girls the same age as Anna.
The two of them were like people who wanted to go to a dance instead of going into a dangerous forest to hunt.
Anna wanted to teach them how to dress. She also doesn't like it when people call his mother a maid.
Before she started to get angry, a big boy came to cut in.
He is Roko, even though they are the same age, Roko's face that has grown a beard and mustache looks old.
"Hey.. hey.. we don't have time to argue. Let's go to the forest, before the gate guards start getting suspicious" Roko joined in.
"huft... Anna, sorry about this but we'll talk as we go, okay?" Tristan begged.
"Okay!" Anna still looks annoyed.
Actually Anna didn't care about this group, she just needed Tristan to point out the location of the young red bear.
If the red bear was really still a child, Anna could have hunted it herself.
A red bear is included in the mutated animal category with the iron level danger, but if it is still young it will only enter the copper level danger.
Anna's sword technique was even recognized by the wall guards. They often commented that Anna would make a great witch.
But Gilbert didn't like that comment and forbade Anna to practice swordsmanship in front of the guards. Anna ended up practicing swordsmanship alone.
Anna and four other teenagers entered the forest.
The Bog Forest still had the white mist that had just descended from the plateau.
The lush trees in the Bog forest make the view obstructed.
Normally, adventurers would ask spell users from the [Detect] faction to be scouts at the front.
Anna and her friends had no mages in their group. They were only guided by Tristan who wanted to show off his prowess.
However, Tristan had no experience reading directions in the forest or looking for tracks. So the five of them walked far away and often they returned to the same place. freewebno vel.com
"Tristan, do you really know the way?" Lina complained.
Beads of sweat formed on her forehead.
Lina's white shirt was drenched in sweat, her cleavage more visible because her clothes were too thin.
Tristan and Roko who saw the beautiful sight gulped.
"Calm down Lina! Soon we will arrive, I'm sure we are on the right path" Tristan said confidently but his gaze did not leave Lina's chest.
Seeing Tristan staring at her lewdly, Lina smiled triumphantly at Anna, but Anna didn't care.
Lina was annoyed with Anna's response. She felt that Anna was an arrogant girl.
Anna never hung out with any other girl besides Silvie. Even so Anna has many male fans, the main reason is Anna's beautiful face.
That was why Lina felt triumphant when Tristan paid more attention to her. But Lina wanted all the boys in the group to ignore Anna.
"Roko, can you take off my corset, I'm having a little trouble breathing" Lina puffed out her chest while pretending to be hard to breathe.
Roko widened her eyes, seeing the corset that seemed unable to hold Lina's breasts anymore. Tristan looked at Roko with envy.
Vivi looked at Lina worriedly, she felt sorry for her friend who was having trouble breathing.
Anna who knew Lina's acting just cursed in her heart.
'damn you whore!'
Anna is getting annoyed that they can't find the young red bear.
Tristan as a guide, instead of finding it, he leads them astray.
Lina who always complained of being tired.
Vivi who didn't help at all.
Roko who always stares lewdly at Lina's chest and ass.
All this made Anna want to part with them and find the young red bear alone.
But before Anna mustered up the courage and heart to do that, they heard footsteps coming from behind them.
"Jon, what am I saying, we have a game here heheh" A soft chuckle sounded.
A man walked gracefully through the bushes and trees.
"hehe yeah Bon, you're never wrong hehehe" a rough voice chuckle stupidly.
Another man was big like an orc and walked without paying attention to the bushes and trees.
The trees that fell on his body creaked and nearly fell. Shows Jon's extraordinary body strength.
As the two men drew closer, Anna saw their faces.
"Wow Jon! Jackpot Jon… we have three games of tender meat" Bon smirks.
Bon had a slender body, so slender it was as if he had no flesh.
His clenched thighs seemed to be missing something in between.
Bon wears a white shirt with lace on the cuffs. His pants were still clean so anyone who saw him would not think that he had just crossed a muddy forest.
His face was smooth white, his nose was sharp, his teeth were yellow but still neat, and his eyes were wide but there were dark bags under them.
Bon looks like a beautiful woman or man who has been tortured for years.
"hehe yes Bon, we get Bon jackpot, we can be rich Bon hehehe" Jon smiled stupidly.
Unlike Bon, Jon has a large body with a distended stomach.
Walking astride shows that his strong legs take a heavy weight off his body.
Jon wears sleeveless leather armor, revealing various wounds on both arms, from whip wounds to sword wounds.
It is not known what Jon's pants are made of because they are in very bad condition, his right pants are only knee-length with a tear in his thigh.
While his left pants covered up to his ankles but it poor condition made his pants look like cloth wrapped around his legs.
These two men had an aura that gave teenagers goosebumps. Their disgusting smiles made the teenagers feel like they had met a hungry beast.
Anna knew these two men were very dangerous and they were most likely mages. They are not here looking for prey, but looking for humans to sell as slaves.
"RUN!!!" Anna screamed and immediately ran.
But the speed of the frightened teenagers couldn't beat the speed of a mage's spell.
"Oops, don't be so fast, you guys will still be here! [Earth Prison]!" Jon slammed his hands on the ground.
Suddenly a mound appeared from the ground, the mound continued to rise very quickly and cut off their way out.
Before the mound got any higher, Anna jumped over it. But her slower friends couldn't keep up with Anna.
The mound then closed like the teeth of a closed human mouth. Lina, Vivi, Tristan and Roko are trapped inside.
Anna gritted her teeth and decided to leave them. Her logic said she couldn't do anything even if she stayed and protected them.
Anna felt very scared, sad, and disappointed by her weakness.
However, a large figure stands in her way, Jon.
Anna didn't know how Jon managed to move from behind her and got in front of her in the blink of an eye,
or what spell Jon used to make his massive body move quietly and not crash into the trees.
Anna quickly drew her sword and slashed at Jon's body.
Anna had never killed anyone before, but her frightened body gave off a slashing reflex like the one she had practiced countless times.
"[Matrial Art: Wall Skin]" Jon's gruff voice cast the spell.
Suddenly Jon's entire skin seemed to turn black. The tip of Anna's sword stab Jon's stomach but couldn't pierce it then it broke
Anna was stunned to see her broken sword. The sword she always polished and sharpened every night broke in two.
The last glint of the sword shone in Anna's eyes, reminding her how happy she was when she got the sword for the first time.
She didn't know what she had to do to survive in this situation.
All of her techniques and swordsmanship were like trash in front of two mages. Anna also understood Artur's words about the mage's power 'everyone other than mages is just an ant'.
Bon who was far behind came and clung to Anna's back at an unseen speed.
"Hehehe looks like you've given up, so soon? I thought you'd put up an interesting fight, disappointing" Bon's soft voice sounded like it was licking Anna's neck.
She had goosebumps and wanted to turn against, but once again the mage's spell was faster.
"Hehehe [Sleep]!" Bon chuckled.
The last thing Anna saw before falling asleep was Bon's grin that gave her nightmares.
