She stared right into his heterochromatic eyes as she expected a response. With her sword's tip almost touching his chest, she wasn't asking politely.
"Why do you ask? Is it that important?!" Reve narrowed his eyes at her.
"Just answer!"
She pushed down her blade and trickled down a small amount of blood from his chest. Her harsh expression told him it would not go down well if he refused her.
Reve sighed and introduced himself the best way possible, "I am Reve. Your average friendly cat-emperor."
Reve's hand snakily engaged an intimate contact with the earth but the young amazon couldn't notice that. Her senses were almost as sharp as his. Hence, he put in all his effort to hide his emerging spell.
He watched as different kinds of expressions showed on the young lady's face. She seemed to be struggling with something really serious.
A while later, she asked, "What is your base beast form?"
"A white cat with beautiful eyes," told Reve.
He answered honestly….anything to buy him enough time. When thinking back on things, hadn't she seen his base form already? He remembered back then she kept looking at him strangely.
The young amazon jolted. Her face became more aggressive and the tip of her sword touched Reve's skin. Reve could feel the cold metal grazing his fur. The cold feeling of death edged closer to him.
He almost executed any magic spell he could think of, but that thought was quickly stopped when he remembered his objectives.
"Seventeen years ago….where were you seventeen years ago?"
"I was in the same place as now. The forest. We, magical beasts, don't migrate easily. Don't you know that?" informed Reve.
At the corner of his mind, he could feel the increasing tension gathering in the atmosphere. Something felt strange about the situation.
Why was she asking him strange questions?
The amazon queried, "Seventeen years ago, did you encounter a group of humans?"
This was the question that spilled the tension. It speeded things beyond what Reve could keep up with. Reve was about to answer when he mulled over his answer.
A comprehensive look appeared on his face as he realized something important. He now knew why he felt the young amazon felt familiar. There was a particular tone of her voice that could be traced. This tone made Reve reminiscence....reminiscence about something truly awful.
He spied at the young amazon. She was analyzing him. She knew he had noticed something.
"Talk now!" she threatened.
It was at times like this that Reve could feel the brimming irrationality in her. She wouldn't hesitate to torture him to get her answer. Yet, ironically enough, she surely wouldn't like his answer, heh!
Reve's voice wavered as he spoke, "Yes. Seventeen years ago, I met with a group of humans. They were adventurer seekers, trying to find wealth in the beast continent."
"What happened?!" asked the young amazon.
Reve wryly smiled, "What do you think would happen? Human and beast. We couldn't communicate. There was only one outcome; a blood battle!"
The scene from years ago played perfectly in his mind. Him, a small white cat watching a group of humans from a tree. He observed each one of them curiously….from the leader to the child...the child!
He became a bit immersed in that scene as he spoke fluidly, "I killed the father, the mother, the friends but I spared the child. I wasn't feeling guilty about my kills. I just couldn't bear the thought of killing a pure child that cried a lot. I made sure to leave the child in an area where it would be easily found by other humans."
The young amazon became angrier as she completed the story of the child for him, "The child was found by a tribe of half-amazons and raised like them for sixteen years. The child became an amazon in its fifteenth year. The child enacted its revenge on the claws behind its tribe's massacre in its seventeenth year. Now, in its seventeenth year, the child would slay the one that robbed it of its memories of its parent."
The young amazon attempted piercing Reve's body with her sword, "I am the child, whose childhood you took! Remember my name, Neith!"
Hearing this, the corner of Reve's lips tilted, "Bloody Karma. If I had killed you back then, I'm sure I would have faced an easier final opponent. However, with that said, why don't we put an end to this stained fate? I have goals to achieve!"
Immediately after he said that, the sword moved for his heart but he was faster. White plant whips sprung up and pushed Neith away.
This gave him the breathing space he needed to perform a quick spell. He chose [Frozen Gates]!
Multiple magic circles open on the ground. Hellish ice particles were spat out from them and they headed for Neith.
Neith was one step ahead after her failed attempt to kill Reve. She entered a strange stance and disappeared from her position.
Disappeared wasn't really the right term for her action. Reve could still see her movements vividly but it was exceedingly strange. Neith flowed like water and just when he thought she would be captured by one of his magic circles, she would escape at hair's breadth.
Whatever she did wasn't to make her super fast but it did make her body coordination rival Reve's!
Reve cloned himself and sent his clone at Neith while he prepared a spell. In less than a few seconds, he heard a sharp sound and instantly knew his clone was killed.
Neith was blitzing towards him!
He couldn't move as he had already begun casting [Ice Fantasy]. Using his pure will, Reve pointed his left hand at her, and plant whips rose from the ground to attack her.
The person in question flung her sword high in the air and swiftly assembled something from an object on her waist. The assembled object looked a lot like the atlas she was with when she fought the terror lizard. She grabbed another object and turned it into a spear.
Seeing this, Reve panicked as he remembered this attack. He couldn't dodge it.
With one sharp twirl, Neith sent a destructive spear towards him. It shone in the air like a bright star and broke the sound barrier. Her ki lingered on the spear like a divine cloak. This was overkill. She was using one of the efficient skills of Aura Mastery, [Ki Fortification]
To counter this, Reve emptied his mind and chanted, 'The body is the puppet and I'm the puppeteer. [Morai]!'
This was the only skill he could depend on now. His skill proficiency gradually improved as he found himself in a unique detached state. It was a state that he understood was necessary for the execution of [Morai]. Since his body was a puppet, he shouldn't have any feelings over it unless it concerned his performance!
Suddenly, his feet appeared to hover a few inches above the ground. It was like they wanted to touch the ground but couldn't.
He was just in time as the spear came his way. Moments before it could pierce his skull, Reve took a sharp swerve that was bordering the level of insanity.
He lost control of his skill and fell face flat not long after, 'Bullocks!'
His senses tingled and flipped over his spot. A sword whistled in the air. Reve landed beside Neith and sent his fist at her guts!
He didn't give her time to rest as he predicted where she would fall and appeared there before her…....
