Chapter 12: Act like a Princess
"And where do you think you're going?" he heard the girl's voice coming from behind as he was leaving. The girl said that with a cold and detached voice. Micheal turned around and saw her sword vibrating in her hands.
"Where do you think?" said Micheal, looking at her angrily. He didn't know her or has any idea why she's acting like a bitch. It seemed like a misunderstanding and nothing more. Also, he even started to leave the place after she tried to attack him.
She didn't reply as she adopted a battle-ready position. She raised her sword and fired the sword which made a whistling sound. The golden sword broke the air and thrust towards Micheal.
"System, give me a defense spell"
Micheal quickly fired up the system and ordered it to purchase it for him rather than him meddling through the shop because the sword was just an inch away from him. The system would only momentarily slow down the time and it couldn't stop the time entirely, so if he took too much time browsing through the system, the sword could penetrate his head and kill him because while he was using the system, he wouldn't be able to move.
[Does the host wish to buy upgradable or nonupgradable spell?]
"Are you trying to kill me? Just buy an upgradable one"
He shouted at the system.
[Ding, the host has successfully acquired responsive energy shield for thousand badass points]
His heart bled looking at the number of points he had to use because of this girl's temper tantrum and became extremely furious.
[COnsidering the power gap between the host and the enemy is too big, the system recommends the host to buy the lightning dash skill for thousand badass points]
"I don't know what is going to kill me first? Her or the outrageous price of yours"
[Does the host wish to buy the lightning dash?]
"Yes, buy it quickly"
[Ding, the host has successfully acquired lightning dash for thousand badass points]
He felt the mild pain in his brain as the system etched the working into his mind.
At the moment, the sword was less than an inch away from his forehead, but suddenly the responsive shield activated and formed a mild blue color energy sphere around him. He closed the systems and just when he did that, the sword and his energy shield collided. The backlash pushed him back a few meters away before he steadied himself.
"Bitch, bitch, bitch!"
Gaya was shouting in his mind in anger looking at the girl.
"Do you want to kill me?!" his voice was filled with rage because If it had been his previous life, he would have been dead already.
"Yes, so what?" the girl said as the sword flew right back into her hand.
She didn't know what spell he used to escape her previous track but it sure did annoy and fume her anger more.
And this time when she closed her eyes, an illusory golden sword suddenly appeared above her
This huge holographic sword made a sensation of cold spread throughout his body. The holographic sword was like a guided missile which meant it could detect if someone was alive and automatically aim at breathing people.
"Shit, she's using a morning star spell"
Gaya cursed because she knew that it was one of the spells that commonly used by the inner and core disciples of the Morning Star sect.
"Bzzeeomm". The sword emitted a noise while it moved towards him, getting closer and closer.
The energy shield appeared again on which the golden arrow crashed, what looked like an explosion, however this time, the shield could only slow down the arrow but it was unable to stop it. The noise that came out of the explosion was scary and made Micheal's heart skip a beat because it sounded like a nuclear bomb went off near him. The arrow was coming straight towards Micheal's forehead.
"Do something, human"
Celena Marshall, that was her name and she stood out from her Morning Star sect's fellow disciples and was considered to be one of the best, to be an exceptional disciple. She had reached the body strengthening stage at the age of fifteen and reached level four three years after that. With her exceptional talent, cultivation level, and powerful spell, Micheal's shield was obviously not enough to stop her arrow.
He was flung into the tree due to the clash between his shield and the sword. As Celenia could control the arrow using her Arch energy made the sword look alive, she made it turn around and continued her efforts to kill him.
"Lightning dash" he quickly activated the skill he had just learned and suddenly, his body transformed into a bolt of lightning and dashed away from the girl.
"You will pay for this, bitch"
His distant voice stupefied Celina and she looked around the place only to see her arrow was lying on the ground damaged. He had already disappeared from the place at an amazing speed.
"The spell he used...ancient spell?" whispered Celina.
****************************
"What the f**k did you do to that bitch? Why was she attacking us?"
He was still moving like a lightning bolt when he heard Gaya.
"I don't know, I think she was cultivating in there and assumed me as an intruder or something"
"You think? Obviously, she thought of you as a pervert who trespassed into her territory"
"Trespassed? Was that waterfall belongs to her? And if so, why didn't you tell me?"
He was already annoyed by what just happened
"Of course, it doesn't belong to that bitch, but that's how this world work, human, the strong can take any place they like and claim it as their own, if I was at my peak, I would have ripped her into pieces and fed to the fishes in that water"
She hissed at anger and frustration as he could see the outer walls of the River town.
After running a long distance in a short amount of time, his muscles ached as he started to breathe rapidly.
"By the way, do you know her?"
He leaned on a tree and decided to take a moment to regain his energy.
"Why would I? she must be one of the Morning Star sect's elite disciples, after seeing what that bitch can do, I advise you to stay the f**k away from her "
"No can do, we going back into the town, take as many as quests that involve killing, find her and kick her ass"
Hearing him, she jumped out of his body taking her human form, and looked furious.
"Are you mad? I know you're using some kind of evil techniques to level up but know this, there are no shortcuts in cultivation, if you continue to use your evil techniques, you will end up dead or worse"
She seemed like an angry wife who scolds her husband on a daily basis with hands on her hip and a flushed face.
"What are you talking about? I'm not using any evil techniques, I'm just awesome"
He couldn't help but grin and say
"f**k you, human, I'm serious"
She couldn't afford to lose him, especially after she sensed her broken meridians getting repaired by the pills that he gave.
"Me too, you don't have to worry about anything, I'm not using any evil techniques, alright? If you must know the truth, I'm a prodigy, I have a special body type called War God body"
He didn't want her to get suspicious about how he's able to level up so fast and he came up with the special body type because of his experience in reading many cultivation novels on earth.
"War God body?"
She tilted her head and started to recollect all her knowledge about special body types. And even though she didn't have any idea about the body type of War God, she did learn that there are many mysterious body types that exist in this world that no one knew about, and besides, how could he breakthrough so quickly without using any pills or potions?
"I let you in on a secret, don't tell anyone, okay?"
Looking at his earnest expression, she grinned
"Alright, since you're being truthful to this princess as well as helping me, I can keep your secret"
He knew she was thinking he started to trust her and maybe use this secret to get more pills except, everything he had just told her was nothing but lies.
"Come on, come to daddy"
He raised his hands like he was asking for a hug and winked at her as she rolled her eyes
"Gross, human, I hope she kicks your ass again just for that mouth of yours"
She disappeared and appeared again as a tattoo on his arm.
"Be careful in the town, human, you already pissed off one major bitch and might have pissed off another group by taking their quest, from now on, stay the f**k away from the Morning Star sect disciples until you at least reach the body refining stage level 6 or 7"
"Jeez, do you hear yourself? f**k this f**k that, you're a princess for god sake, try to act like one"
"Sorry big brother, I'll be more refined and ladylike from now on, I know I've not been always polite and respectful towards a senior like you, please forgive me"
She sounded so feminine and soft in his mind unlike before but he frowned
"Are you going to forgive me, big brother?"
He knew she was acting but it was a pleasant feeling in his mind to hear this sweet gentle voice.
"Yes?"
"Well take your forgiveness and shove it far up your ass and take it out from your f**king mouth and shove it up to your ass again and repeat this until you f**king die"
"Now she's back"
