Deep in the forest surrounding Luxen City.
Rawr!
Chud.
Vivian caught a fox or Yellow Wako by the neck that launched a jump attack on her.
Arw! Arw! Arw!
The fox started to whine and wiggle its body as it struggled desperately to escape.
Bam.
Crack!
Arrrw!
Crack.
Thud.
She threw a light punch on the animal's ribs, breaking a rib or two, and then snapped its neck before dropping it to the ground.
She stared at her bare hands and saw that there was some fur and other liquids on them.
Maybe I really should've bought a new pair of gloves before coming here…
She turned away and looked around.
The place was littered with fresh corpses of monsters.
I need to check just one more time...
Vooom!
Vivian roamed around in a circle for a bit to check if there were anyone nearby.
When she stopped, she was back at the spot she started running.
Okay, I think it's safe…
She cast a spell.
[Greater Origin Enchant].
A dark red-colored lighting aura appeared on her right hand.
Hmm…
Is it just me or is the color different from the bandits that I fought…?
It seems darker…
Whooozzz!
She threw a punch with her right hand.
Whooozzz!
Whooozzz!
She threw two more punches with her right hand.
"Heh~"
"I'm not gonna lie, it sounds cool."
"I feel like a thunder god."
"Or should I say goddess?"
She went over to a tree that was as thick as 2 adult legs.
BRAAAK!!!
She punched the trunk of the tree and it shattered like it was nothing. She really felt nothing, as if she was punching a pillar made out of styrofoam.
The dark red-colored lighting also disappeared when she punched the tree.
Creak...
Thud!
The upper body of the tree made creaking sounds before it finally landed on the ground.
"So it really is like an amplifying effect…"
She raised her hand and aimed at another tree.
Compared to the first tree, this one was at least 3 adult legs thick.
[Greater Origin Enchant].
A dark red lighting aura appeared on her hand.
[Lightning Arrow].
As soon as the [Lightning Arrow] started to manifest on her palm, it immediately began to absorb the dark red lightning on her hand and started to grow bigger.
PSCHT!!!
BRAAAK!!!
A [Lightning Arrow] that was 4 times bigger compared to a normal [Lightning Arrow] flew out of her hand left and shot passed the tree, leaving a huge hole in the tree's trunk and also electrocuting it that all of its leaves and fruits caught in fire and fried its entire body that it turned dark and was emitting smoke.
Vivian's jaw dropped.
"What the fuck…"
The last time she hit a tree with her [Lightning Arrow] was when she pinned a snake on the tree with her poleaxe. And during that time, although it managed to leave a small hole in the tree, caused all of the fruits and leaves of the tree to fall and its body to emit smoke.
She stared at her hand.
"No wonder demon --"
An idea suddenly appeared inside her head.
What if I combined it with [Heal]…?
Would I be able to repair lost limbs…?
Voooom!
She quickly searched for an enemy.
***
Braaak.
Vivian punched a Treebark from behind and her fist went inside before lifting it up in the air with one arm.
BRAAAK!
She slammed its body to the ground like a hammer, shattering its body into pieces.
Whip!
She whipped her arm to remove the green fluid but only managed to remove most of it.
Vooom!
***
Waaack!
Waaack!
Vivian chopped off 2 Sunkiss monsters with her hands.
Beak!
Beak!
Hearing the sound, she immediately grabbed onto the handle of her sword and pulled it out before searching for the Bukaroo.
When she spotted the bird, she immediately rushed towards it.
Whooosh!
Thud.
Thud.
She sliced the bird into 2 pieces in mid-air.
Whip!
She then whipped the blood away from her sword and returned it back to its scabbard before extracting the tail.
Vooom!
***
Vivian stopped.
Up ahead there was a group of the tiny jumping mushrooms or Juppers charging at her.
Do I run away…?
I don't have time for this…
I really wish I had an AOE skill…
"Fuck it!"
Vooom!
Pah!
Bam!
Squeeze!
Poink!
Poink!
She charged at the mushrooms and began kicking, punching and squeezing them.
Chak!
All of a sudden, she felt a sharp pain on her right calf.
Poink!
Poink!
When she turned around to check what caused it, she was a Paparu that was trying hard to stick its 15-inch seashell-like horn on her right calf.
Poink!
"Motherfucker!"
She grabbed the rabbit by the horn and used its body to swap and crush the remaining mushrooms.
Pah!
Bam!
Bam!
Pah!
The horn snapped and sent the dead rabbit flying away.
"USELESS!!!"
Vivian threw the horn at one of the mushrooms and resumed kicking, punching and squeezing the mushrooms to death until there was nothing left.
[Heal].
A faint yellow light enveloped Vivian's body.
Vooom!
She continued searching for the specific enemy she wanted to experiment on.
***
Chud.
Vivian caught a Green Ekan or basically just a green snake that was 15ft long by its head.
Riiip!
Before the snake could wrap its body on Vivian and squeeze her, she already ripped its head from its body with her bare hands.
At the corner of her eye, she noticed 2 Treebarks charging towards her.
Vooom!
BRAAAK!
BRAAAK!
She dashed forward and shattered each Treebark with one punch.
Beak!
Beak!
"FUCK!"
She pulled out her sword and searched for the bird.
She she spotted it, she immediately rushed to it.
Whooosh!
Thud.
Thud.
The bird was cut into 2 pieces in mid-air before crashing to the ground.
Whip.
She whipped her sword to remove the blood and then returned it back to its scabbard before extracting the tail.
Vooom!
***
Vivian stopped and watched the Brown Kraine charge at her.
Should I use this…?
She shook her head.
Yeah, it's too big…
Vooom!
Chud.
Riiiip.
She caught the wolf by the jaw with 2 hands and then ripped its mouth open.
"Ew…"
Whip.
Whip.
Rub, rub, rub…
Vivian whipped the saliva out of her hands and then rubbed her hands on the wolf's fur.
Vooom!
***
Rawr!
Thud.
Vivian was running when suddenly a Yellow Wako jumped at her and missed due to her speed. She was already a couple of feet away when the fox landed on the ground.
She made a sudden brake, pivoted and rushed over to the fox.
Chud.
Arw! Arw! Arw!
She caught the fox by the neck and the animal immediately began crying as it struggled to break free.
"Finally!" she said with a huge grin on her face.
With the fox still desperately trying to break free from her hand, Vivian looked around if there was anyone nearby.
"Just to make sure…"
Vooom!
She made a quick inspection around the area before returning to her original spot.
"Wew!"
"Thank God there were no pests around!"
She glanced at the fox that was still locked on the neck by the grip of her hand.
Arw! Arw! Arw!
"Looks like you were lucky~!" she said and smiled.
She pinned the animal's head to the ground with her left boot and then started experimenting.
"Stay put, you little shit!"
She grabbed one of the fox's legs with both hands.
Riiip!
ARRRWWW! ARRRWWW!
The fox howled in agony when Vivian ripped out one of its legs.
She looked at the severed fox's leg on her hand and was still squirting out blood, causing her to let out a small chuckle as she examined the torn muscle, tendons and bone.
She then placed it on the side before returning her gaze to the fox.
"Now let's see how will it affect you."
[Greater Origin Enchant].
A dark red lighting aura appeared on her hand.
[Heal].
As soon as [Heal] started to manifest on her palm, it immediately began absorbing the dark red lightning aura on her hand. And when it finally absorbed all of the lightning, a faint yellow light that was 4 times bigger compared to the normal [Heal] enveloped the fox.
It healed the wound but it didn't recover the lost limb.
Vivian's eyes narrowed.
The fox stopped howling in pain for a moment and then resumed howling once again.
Vivian rolled her eyes as she grabbed the dismembered leg and pressed it against the mutilated healed leg.
[Greater Origin Enchant].
[Heal].
The dismembered leg healed but it didn't attach to the mutilated healed leg.
"Figures."
Thud.
She tossed the dismembered leg away and then grabbed another leg.
Riiip.
ARRRWWW! ARRRWWW!
The fox howled in sweet agony once again when Vivian ripped out another leg.
She pressed the freshly ripped-out leg back, causing the fox to shiver in pain and tears came out of its eyes as it continued to howl in pain and struggle to break free.
[Greater Origin Enchant].
[Heal].
The freshly ripped-out leg connected.
"I see. So there's no difference from the normal [Heal]."
Bam!
ARRRWWW!
Crack!
Vivian punched the fox's ribs, creating a crater, and then crushed its head with her boot.
