章 47: Is she a monster or a Saviour?

*stranger pov*

All of us was horrified and in sync had covered our private part. None of us could say anything at all.

He is on his way investigate about the sighting of winged anke with his best elites. It became a national problems when the wise men had given their piece of thoughts regarding this matter. Who doesn't know, where winged anke appear, mad lakh is not far. And where mad lakh preside, there bound to be a chaos.

History had written that no ordinary people could killed or exterminate mad lakh except one. Yakesh Korr. The legendary hero, that transcends as a god. He doesn't know whether its true or not. What he knows, his people believed it and I as someone who govern above them shouldn't take that matter lightly. Then why is he rushing toward the impossible mission? He believe that he could handled it. Not because he thirst to make his own legend or name, no.. far from it. He simply want an excuse to get out from that cagey palace. He is not even the real king, he is only a substitute for his brother. Until now, he's still searching for his missing brother to take back his throne.

He got a new finding about mad lakh, and what he heard almost made him fall on his knees. Eight of them. From almost impossible mission to totally mass destruction unaverted, impossible mission. Either way, we marched forward with a death warrant signed on our name. Somber and ready to die for our nation.. and imagined our surprise...

Someone is battling Those gigantic monsters, alone. It even more surprising to see that it was that.. mysterious woman. She easily over powered the monsters with a simple move. Albeit her skills is rough on the edges, but it was totally an overkill. Makes me wonder if the rumours about mad lakh is nothing but a bunch lies. They were too easy to kill.

"My God! That is some power she had" exclaimed one of his elite men.

"Maybe mad lakh is not really powerful? Look, she can beat them!"

And that is where his men become a fool and start a cluster fuck that almost made their whole squad wiped out.

One of them charged forward toward one of the mad lakh that were standing still not too far from us.

The mad lakh soon saw their hiding place and with a simple swing of it's club, all were thrown away, breaking some of their bones despite the enchanted armours, barriers and bone strengthening skills. He step forward to fend off the attack, and tasting it first hand how powerful mad lakh is.

He cursed and thought how the heck that woman parries with this monstrous strength like it was a piece of cake? Though he wasthe best among his people, and royal bloodline.. it wasn't enough. One more and He could end up squashed like a pitiful fruit squash.

Upon the second swing of the club on the mad lakh, he managed to dodged it barely. But the force had thrown him and crashed on his men. One of their sword had grazed his leg and he had spotted some bruises but otherwise it is fine.

He had thought that they were done for, but something happened instead.

The giant had stopped. He was currently standing in the ravine of the canyon but his height could see perfectly fine on top of the canyon as his eyes were perfectly aligned with height of it. While they had hidden behind the boulders, they stood on the other side of the canyon and could see what had caught the mad lakh attention.

Something had fallen on the ground, making the canyon trembled. A painful roar that every man could sympathise... they all winced as their brain register what had taken place.

"She's...." nobody could continue it. They swallow the word of 'ruthless'.

From then on, it was the starting point of underwear armour becoming top selling item in nation. And whenever one meet that mysterious woman, none dare to meet her without wearing a protection of sort down there. But that is for another story.

The mad lakh howl, and another two met him. Three of them who were hiding on the ravine, climbed up and charged toward the mysterious woman just after she had beheaded the screaming lakh.

The raised his hand, and hailed water to sweep over everything. They finally choose to use magic, and that is where it gets chaotic. It will soon flood and kill everything here...

"Ride your beast and fly!!" He ordered his men. They all move briskly and soon flying on the sky. He had thought the woman would be done for but instead, she shot upward levitating and gazing at the mad lakh with lazy look.

"So there are more of you. You dare to drown me with that?" Said the mysterious woman with contempt.

She hold out her hand, with open palm. And the moment she close her palm into a fist... three of the mad lakh explode.

That had made everyone in present jaw-dropped. She could do that too? Why she didnt use that from the beginning????

That made every last of us who witness her power trembled in fear. Ancient beings killed with mere gestures. Is she a monster that could threaten the nation or a saviour?
