BRAGR) To Erune Once Again Part 3 (Patreon)

“I can see why you are acting so tough now. Being level 20 in a level 10 area. Did you think everyone here was under your level?” I asked as I stepped forward. I could feel the excitement inside me growing. It was as if anytime I was about to kill someone or someone angered me, a switch inside me flipped. I do not know the cause, but my assumption is my race. I just get this urge to kill those who oppose me in cold blood. The idea of their blood flowing due to my strike excited me. It made me want to slowly slice his skin off inch by inch.

“What is that look for? Creepy ass smile.” I heard the man ask in disgust. I couldn’t help but reach up and touch my face. As my fingers traced the outline of the curve on my lips, I realized I was indeed smiling, but not the kind that made me look beautiful.

“Hehe…” I let out a giggle. “How long has it been since I fought someone around my level?” I tilted my head to the side, staring at the man as if I was directing my question to him. “Do not disappoint me, okay?” To be level twenty already showed he had some skill. Not to mention, now that I was looking it seemed he got lucky on some gear.

“Heh, once I kill you, I will kill the girl on the scooter and take it for myself!” The man roared before charging at me, swinging his claymore in a wide arch. Not a bad idea if you are fighting monsters, but versus a player, it was easily countered. Well, if you were quick enough and flexible. As his sword was about to cut my waist in two, I fell backward, bending my knees with my back horizontal to the ground. I watched as the sword skimmed past my face.

As it passed by, I flipped myself forward and stuck out with my sword, stabbing right at the man’s neck. I really just wanted to see his red blood flowing like a river. The gem-like liquid will make for a nice view.

Clang!

The sound of metal against metal was heard. The man had used his wrist guard to block my attack. My eyes widened in shock but, at the same time, turned up into crescents. “Amazing! Amazing! You did not disappoint!”

“Crazy bitch! I am done playing with you!” The man jumped back. He seemed to be unwilling to fight anymore. But why?

“You can’t just start and end it like that!” I charged forward this time. He seemed startled at my sudden advance. He raised his sword to block my blow as I stabbed out, but instead of following through, I stopped short, drew my sword back, and shoved out with my foot right to his gut.

 “Ah! Shit!” He cried out while holding his stomach.

“Zoe, he has one hundred health left!” Angel sent me a message through team chat. I grinned and spun the sword in my hand.

“Time to finish this.” I stepped forward once more, my left hand pushing off the flat side of his blade, blocking his block as I finally stabbed through his neck.

His eyes widened as he stared at me. Blood began to flow from his neck. The red liquid entered my eyes, and the smell of lead filled my nose. Even though he had a sword in his neck, he still was able to choke out: “You are fucking crazy!”

“Mmm… Maybe. But at least I am not stupid enough to think they can do as they please just because they were level 20.” I snorted before pulling my sword out and kicking his body away. A thud was heard before his body began to turn into cubes of light and disappeared.

“I feel refreshed! I wonder if he lost any levels from that.” I stretched my arms before reaching down and picking up the orb of light and looking at it. “Hmm? A few potions not bad.” I took the loot and walked back to the scooter. Before getting on I looked at those who had been watching from the side and asked: “Anyone else want to try to touch me and the scooter?”

I watched as they all shook their heads. I smiled before getting on the scooter and hugged my Angel. “Warm.”

 “Hehe.” Angel giggled before taking off. The golem on the front fender was doing its job, paving the road for us.

We left the encampment behind us and headed toward Erune. “Zoe, earlier, you seemed like you were excited about killing that man. It was the same as when you were ready to kill the guy in the store that day or when dealing with the army.”

“I think it’s my race. But I am in much more control now. Although if he had touched you, I might have beaten him with my fists until he was a bloody mess before killing him. This did not happen in my dreams, so I am not sure what is going on. Things are the same yet different at the same time. But just know that I will never harm you in any way.” I gently tightened my embrace. “So please do not leave me…” I whispered softly.

To my surprise Angel suddenly stopped and turned to me, grabbing my chin and kissing me on the lips. “I will never leave you. Even if you turn into a psycho, I will stay by your side. Plus, I know you would never hurt me. You are not that kind of person. To be honest, if you had not been so excited, I planned to fry that bastard for touching you. So you are not the only one who wants to kill!”

I looked at the pink haired thing whose cheeks were puffed out in anger and smiled. She was really cute.
