Ninth Quest

<Author's Thoughts: Hi, this is an extra chapter for week. I changed the book cover (again) because there's a plotline that secretly dropped long time ago and want to pick it back up. From now on, please note will go Vivian's face description as someone who has purple hair with red highlights, pink or slightly red-colored eyes, RBF (resting bitch face). I'll also be undoing secret edits made in past. Thank you sorry inconvenience.> 

Suuup!

Vivian caught a Yellow Wok by the head with her sword.

Whooosh!

Thud!

She whipped her sword down and the fox's body slid from the blade and bounced against the ground.

Pah!

Braaak!

While the fox's body was still bouncing in mid-air from being thrown to the ground, Vivian delivered a swift kick on the head and it exploded, causing blood and guts to splatter all around.

She gritted her teeth and ignored the blood and guts on her body before bursting out into a run in search for more enemies.

A couple of steps later, she saw 2 Treebarks and headed straight at them.

Whooosh!

Before the first Treebark could even turn around, Vivian's sword already cut through it as she passed it by and went over to the other Treebark. 

The first Treebark didn't even realize that a sword cut through its body. It was only when it turned around to face Vivian that its upper half body slid down and fell to the ground.

Thud.

BRAAAK!

Vivian grabbed one of the arms of the remaining Treebark and violently swung its body to a tree, shattering it into pieces.

Vooom!

Vivian burst out into a run once again.

FUUUCCCKKK!!!

A few steps ahead, this time around, she saw a Brown Kraine.

Woooh!

Vivian threw her sword at it like an axe.

Chak!

Arrrwww!

The force behind the throw was too powerful that not only did the sword cut through several inches deep inside the wolf's body but it also pushed the wolf a couple of feet away.

However, despite all that, it was still alive but barely breathing.

Vivian appeared in front of it like a blur and pulled out her sword.

Bam!

She kicked at the wolf on the rib and its body exploded into 2 pieces, causing blood and guts to splatter all around.

Vooom!

Vivian burst out into a run once again.

I WANT TO KILL THAT OLD UGLY HAG BITCH!!!

Beak!

Beak!

Vivian focused and the world appeared to move slower through her eyes.

When she found the bird, she immediately rushed to it and performed a jump attack.

Whooosh!

Thud.

Thud.

The bird was cut into 2 pieces including the tail.

Seeing the tail sliced, her eyes turned bloodshot red.

Clang.

She dropped her sword. 

"HAAAAAHHHHH!!!" she shouted at the top of her lungs as she raised her hands and resisted the urge to pull her hair out.

BAM!

She stomped on the ground so hard that her feet buried a few inches deep and made a loud noise that echoed throughout the forest.

"THAT OLD FUCKING UGLY WEAK HAG DARE TO ORDER ME AROUND?!!!"

"I CAN FUCKING KILL YOUR ENTIRE CLAN IN A BLINK OF AN EYE!!!"

"AND I'M A FUCKING PRIEST!!!"

"Haa…"

"Haa…"

"Ha…"

"Ha…"

She closed her eyes to calm herself.

A moment later, she opened them and fixed herself.

I can't kill her and her family right away…

I'll definitely be one of the main suspects…

Hmm…

Maybe I can use my status as a Priest…?

Accuse them of being heretics…?

She shook her head.

It's still a faulty plan…

Anyone with half a brain could dismantle it…

And plus, even if it does work, I'll only end up owing something to the Temple…

At least with the Adventurer's Guild, I'm more free…

Although so far Vivian has experienced nothing but good things in the Temple of Priests, except for the "forceful recruitment", she was at least aware that no matter what world she was currently at, nothing was perfect. There was no such thing as a free meal, everything comes with a price.

Vivian ran her hands against her forehead.

"Ugh…!"

"I really can't think of a plan where I can destroy them without having me ending up as one of the suspects…"

But what if I just ignore her…?

Vivian scoffed.

There's the contract and a couple of witnesses…

"I really want to destroy that old ugly bitch hag and her family..."

"I REALLY WANT TO…!" she said and gritted her teeth.

She looked at her hand and formed a fist.

"These monsters aren't quelling my anger…"

"I need something…"

"Human…"

She then recalled about the humanoid monster called Peon.

As far as she can remember, they looked like a crossbreed between a dwarf and a goblin. In addition to that, it was rare to meet one here in the forest.

Vivian picked up her sword and raised her head to look at the sky.

It was still sunny. And by her estimate, it was still around 3:00 p.m.

Maybe I can try to go a little more dee--

Wait…!

Pana also said that there are giants…

I think…?

Ah, fuck it…

I'll just go try to find a Peon…

And just when she was about to burst out into a run, a group of 4 people appeared from the bushes.

Vivian's eyes turned to slits as she noticed the Silver I and Silver II pendants around their necks.

"What do you want?!"

Everyone was startled by Vivian's response but a man carrying a large axe stepped forward.

"We heard someone shouting and a loud noise so we came here."

Hearing their answer, her expression softened a bit.

"What are your Magic Art Affinities?"

"What?" the man asked and a confused expression appeared on their face.

The rest of his companions also wore a confused expression and they all looked at one another.

Vivian rolled her eyes.

"Ugh!"

"These useless people!

"You people always either want to party with me or blackmail me.

"But for some reason, you people can't give me anything I really want.

"Why the fuck can't you people just leave me alone if you're all so fucking useless?!"

The man and his companion's faces turned serious.

Although they could see that Vivian was a Priest and also a Copper I rank adventurer, they had no idea what her problem was and wouldn't let anyone insult them like that. After all, they came here to help when they heard someone shouting and a loud noise. 

"Listen here --"

Pah!

Vivian blurred in front of their eyes and the next thing they knew she was already in front of the man and she slapped his face, cutting him off and causing him to almost fall to the ground if he didn't balance himself with his left leg. It also left his head ringing and felt his jaw almost got dislocated.

"Are you trying to say something, WEAKLING?"

When the man saw Vivian's wide and bloodshot eyes staring right at him, he swallowed and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Ignoring Vivian's speed, the simple slap alone which sent his head ringing and his right jaw feeling like it almost got dislocated caused his survival instincts to scream at him, preventing him from talking, let alone moving.

Meanwhile, his companions prepared their weapons, ready to attack at any moment.

An evil grin appeared on Vivian's face and she stared at everyone.

"Heh~ You little shits want to fight? Good. I'm in the mood right now and need to blow off some steam."

Vooom!

Vivian became blurry once again, causing everyone to flinch and raise their weapons. 

But by the time they raised their weapons, Vivian already appeared 10 meters away from them.

"Come!" Vivian said and spread her arms. "I'm giving you little shits an advantage! I'll let you little shits throw everything you got at me before I attack and break all of your bones!"

A bead of sweat appeared on all of their foreheads and they looked at the man carrying a large axe. 

The man put down his weapon and stared at Vivian straight in the eyes.

"We didn't come here to fight."

Vivian grinned.

No, it wasn't actually a grin. It was more like she was gnashing her teeth together and thinking.

Spit!

She spat on the ground and glared at them.

"Then get out of my sight!"

Vooom!
