Capítulo 48: What happened after the seperation - Day Five
Seperating from Tian Long and running back to where they had landed last night as he knew that no matter how frustrated he became that it wouldn't change the fact that he was too weak to make it past that point... too weak to save his friend.
Determination filled his spirit as he vowed to himself that he will become stronger, and that he will but not in the way he thought he would.
He didn't know this now but he would owe everything to Sarah who would become known by many names. The prominant names that she had were: Sword Empress of the Frozen Light which was what she would become known to those that knew her everyday life persona however what they didn't know was that she was also Dark Empress of the Shadows which was her persona within the assassination organisation. Another persona she became known for was the Divine Wolf Empress which was the persona of her beast form.
Twenty minutes in he had already had to fight twenty beasts and he began to question what was happening as they didn't attck when it was him and Tian Long. It was then that it struck him that even if he was in his human form he must have been releasing his dragon aura to ward of the weaker beasts that would have normally attacked them as the weak beasts here were all at Rank 1 and above which meant that normally Jian coming here would be a death sentence.
Thanks to the constant battle and killing of beasts he had levelled up becoming a Rank 1 Level 2. The reason he ws able to continue battling this long with beasts was that as a sword lord he was able to use his domain to pressure the beasts and weaken them below their maximum potential in a fight.
Another half an hour had went by and he was only ten minutes away from getting out of the forest and thanks to being in a less colder environment he could fight better as he had been fighting while shivering which loosened his grip on the sword making his hits weaker and less accurate than usual.
*Slash*
*Puchi*
*Slash*
*Puchi*
Cutting through the last two beasts that were preventing him from leaving the forest he finally gets to the dead mans land. Jian lowered his guard as he stepped into the dead mans land forgetting that he was on the border of a forest of murderous beasts.
This was an error he would come to regret for the rest of his life but this decision would also create someone who could cut everything with just one swing of his sword.
*Swoosh*
*Puchi*
"AAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
His left arm coming clean off from his shoulder Jian screams out in pain and then jumps to the right to avoid another hit incoming. Successfully dodging he turns around to find an adolescent Rank 1 snow leopard with his left arm hanging out of it's mouth.
Experiencing a rage he had never felt before Jian strengthens his grip on his sword until his knuckles turned white. Activating his domain he pressures the adolescent which then gains a serious look as it had only been playing around until now.
*Growl SFX*
Launching itself at Jian the snow leopard arrives at the side of Jian only to receive a sword to the side which pierces for only a second as the leopard retreats before any serious damage can happen.
'Dammit, if I had my arm I would have hit on the mark. Now with one arm gone I have to reconfigure how I balance when striking'
Fury feuling him Jian rushed at the snow leopard putting it off as it didn't expect the human to move as normally whenever people face a snow leopard they stay on the spot waiting for it to come to them however Jian didn't have much of a choice as the more time he leaves his arm the more blood he will lose which in the end could possibly leave him dead.
Deciding that this will be the end Jian takes this chance to slash towards the leopard...
Luckily he had balanced himself correctly and the sword hit directly at the back of the next paralyzing the leopard from the neck down. Jian then proceeded to stab through it abdomen to its heart killing it. Quickly ripping a strip from his robes he then proceeds to tie it around the little stump left at the top (his arms had come off up to the bit just before his shoulder leaving a bit of it leading down) to cut off the blood flow to the wound. Sprinting to the area they had landed last night Jian quickly collects twigs and rocks and then starts a fire which let him gain some heat and illuminated his pale face.
Fire crackling Jian grits his teeth as he puts the tip of his sword into the fire and waited for it to turn red before lifting it up to the stub left of his left arm.
*Sizzle SFX*
"Arggghhhhh" Jian quietly let out a groan of pain as the sword cauterized the wound, although it was a crude way to clean up the wound he had no other choice unless he wished to bleed to death.
Finished with the cauterization of the wound Jian put the sword back on the ground and then made up a shelter made of sticks and leaves. The shelter was primitve but it will keep him warm for the night. Draping a cover made up of weaved tree bark he felt drousy and along with the warm environment eventually fell asleep while the fire continued to crackle through the night until a few hours before he woke up.
