Chapter 16: Back To The Capital
"Keep your feet moving bitch!" I said as I wacked Arna in the back of her head while leaning back to dodge her spear attack.
It had been a week since we left and were just a day away from the capital I had reached level 19 while both Arna and Kelin were working on thier techniques against me of course
so I was beating the hell out of them thus leading to thier rapid improvement.
"Ouch, you don't need to hit that hard" Arna complained as Kelin who was sitting by the camp laughed.
"Someone might actually beat the masochist out of you" he too had bruises on his body clearly my doing
But unlike what I had thought they would do, they hadn't run away from the training.
"What are you sitting there for your self practice is still left a hundred more since you laughed" I spoke as Arna grinned as Kelin just grumbled and got to swinging his axe according to what I had taught him same with Arna.
Her previous technique focused on strength rather than speed which was her speciality given her instincts were sharper than most.
I was still debating weather or not to give them a mana circuit, first I didn't trust them, second I don't know how the bodies of these people react to it.
I was just thinking this as my senses triggered as I sensed the woman who had been following us for all our journey.
While she had kept the other spies away I didn't really know her intentions as of yet but I don't want a stalker.
"I will be going somewhere keep an eye out" I spoke as Kelin nodded and I ran into the woods heading to the right as the woman immediately followed.

I sped up ran directly at the stalker, I jumped onto the trees as I sensed the stalker stopped. Time to do my thing.
----3rd POV -----
Sienna, I am one of the queen's Shadow who had been assigned to watch over the sword hero.
I had taken up the duty from the other shadow.
So when I saw the Sword hero heading towards the forest I followed.
But then he dissapeared, shit did he find out about me?
First I needed to get out of here he uses Magic as though he is already familiar with it so being around isn't a good idea.
I turned back and ran heading away towards east away from his party jumping across the stream until I was quite far away.
I am still stronger than him, but according to the reports he is able to defeat at least ten levels above himself though we don't know the limit and I don't want to find it out either.
I brought out the communicator as the logger popped up in front.
"Day - 22 night Sword hero runs into the forest and dissappears further search impossible mana signatures vanished. Possible case of discovery requesting replacement." She ended the log closing the communicator.
"Well you can change from possible to caught in the discovery section." It was then that I heard a voice as I looked back to see a man I was all too familiar with standing behind.
"Fuck!" I unconsciously let out as the other just sighed.
"Sorry you aren't my type."
==============================
Adric POV
I looked at the spy who had just finished her report.
Her mana levels are somewhere around C rank,
"So then how are we going to do this? I ask questions and you answer or we start redecorating the surroundings red?" I asked as I could see her pause before looking at me.
"Can I call my superiors?" She spoke up as I shrugged.
"Sure make it quick, I sensed a few bad guys around" I replied as she looked at me confused
She quickly called up as I saw another person pop up in the display. although she had her mask her light green hair were flowing down upto her shoulders.
The spy was about to say something but I grabbed the communicator as I looked at the woman.
"Yo! can I ask who the fuck you are?" I asked as the woman looked at me.
"Nice to meet you, sir Hero" the woman replied her voice was calm,
"Yes yes, get to the good stuff"
Her eyes narrowed,
"We belong to the Queen's Shadows, we have been assigned to keep watch over the heroes" she replied as I smiled.
"I would appreciate it if you stayed away from me, otherwise people might get caught up in my swings" I replied as I could almost see a vein pop on her head,
"We are under orders sir hero..."
" Then get them changed" I laughed as the shadow remained silent.
"I will get your request to the queen but...." she replied as I cut the call no need to hear the bullshit.
"Here!, and fuck off before I start swinging" I said as the shadow ran off I jumped in top of the tree heading for the small hill that picking up a small rock along the way as I finally got a veiw of the carrige of course I had to enhance my sight should be bandits that I sensed earlier.
Both Arna and Kelin were fighting the Bandits though they were more focused on Tch,
I never thought I would need to use a Rune this early.
I started chanelling my mana into my fingertip and started inscribing the rock with the runes, since mana circuit works runes should work too.
[ᛊᛟᚢᚾᛞ] ('Sound' in Futhark)
[Skill created - Runic Tongue]
[Runic Toungue (LV1) - Rune creation speed increases, additinal affect - peer into lost tongues]
Seems like I can create skills, good to know, but I should start sending the message to those two,
I smirked, it seems like a long time ago that I was sending messages like this in a dungeon since electronics didn't work in the dungeons.
I grinned this is gonna be fun.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3rd Pov
'Is this a test?' Arna deflected the attack coming for her as her brother attacked the bandits on the other side.
Adric had ran off, and these Bandits appeared now.
It was then the hair on her hands stood up as something wizzed past her and struck the ground foring a crater.
--Listen up!--
The voice came from teh crater as both Arna and Kelin froze up it was the fucking demon.
--There are about twenty bandits, and you have taken out four, we have a shovel in the camping supplies right? I will be strolling back so think about fifteen minutes by the time I get there and if those guy aren't dead and buried in a proper grave with a headstone, hehe you will think fondly at the last week as hevenly for I will show you hell training,
oh and for you bandits there is about two hundred gold coins in with us you able to kill these two they are yours I won't hold it against you if you are able to run away by the time I get there,
Bye~😘--
The twins looked at each other and cursed Adric for this as the Bandits attacked with even more vigour all the while the Demon was standing back at the hill grinning as the fighting intensified after his message got dilivered by the flying rock.
Kelin and Arna fighting to escape the hell training that Adric was talking about while the bandits fighting for the 200 gold that would let them enjoy life for quite a while.
