Tinder Warlord

Chapter 22: FIRST KILL



["Yes! I'm going to be very emotional. Gosh! You are to stand your ground and fight."]

"Really, come, force me."

["What kind of host is this?"]

["The daily task made your body strong. Hell! The exercises and training are not for fancy."]

"Huh! So, I should use yoga to defeat a Yali mythical spirit beast."

She thought while calculating the odds of completing the task and arrived at an impossible task. She glared at Arvina, the energy lifeform, for wasting her brain cells. While also giving Arvina a cowardly reply, "Ah! Impossible... I will RUN. Full speed ahead! Temple run activated."

["..."]

At the moment, Arvina's rage scale is out of proportion. She really wants to beat the hell out of Ariel Sebastian. Arvina was deep in thought about how to deal with the stubborn Ariel Sebastian. When she heard the most ridiculous sentence from Ariel Sebastian.

"Why are my feet so slow? Ehm! Should I pray to all of the universe's gods? If I am answered, I might defy the laws of the universe. Perhaps I will be faster."

"Gods of the universe... HELP ME, your humble daughter," Ariel Sebastian yelled.

["What the f*ck? You are a complete mad woman."]

This time, Arvina's anger has ballooned. Energy saliva were showering down as she yelled at Ariel Sebastian. Her useless, cowardly host. Ariel Sebastian didn't care at all. She teased Arvina with her next sentence.

"See! My speeds triples."

'Wooohooo!'

She felt extremely happy about her quick thinking and planning to celebrate such an escape. But she was dealt a great blow. A notification popped up.

[Time trial task]

"No-no, V01d, please don't interfere in my escape."

["Hihihi"], the almost delirious Arvina revived and had a bout of maniac laughter. Acting like a drug addict who needed a fix.

[System Alert: MISSION - FIRST KILL.

"Nooooooo..."

["Hihihi, that is our big brother. Got listening ears for this great beauty."]

'Fumes'

Having been defeated in the argument, the allure of V01D credits playing its role. Ariel Sebastian had no other option but to return and kill the Yali beast.

A few minutes later,

Ariel Sebastian was back to where she met the Yali beast. She stepped into the range of the spirit Yali beast. Her battle mode was activated.

["Battle mechatronics active"]

"Eh! When do I have this feature? Why are you so fast in activating it?"

["You got battle mechatronics for a long time. It activates when you feel like bashing things up."]

[Calculating enemy movements.

Calculating muscle and fiber movements.

Drafting suitable fight styles according to host skills.

Aikido, Angampora, Araki Ryu, Karate, LINE, and Reaper skills have been drafted.]

[A fighting style has been devised.]

She quickly viewed the devised battle styles. Ariel Sebastian almost face-palmed herself.

"Wait! Wait!! Wait! Are you trying to get me killed? I don't need textbook methods to fight in a dead or alive battle. This is too hard. I just need some simple styles of battle. Layman's way of slaughtering. Quickest and time-saving way of slaughter"

[Request received

Redrafting host fighting style to a quicker, easier, and faster way of slaughter]

[A fighting style has been drafted.]

Looking into the easy battle styles. Ariel Sebastian was satisfied.

"Good. This is great."

Ariel Sebastian calls up her Smart-wear spirit armor and her ??? Nightmare dagger.

Following the fighting style shown to her. Ariel Sebastian quickly blended with her surroundings.

She patiently waited because patience is the key to winning this hard battle.

Ariel Sebastian measured the wind around the Yali beast and herself. According to battle mechatronic battle guide. She plotted the trajectory of each of the Yali beast fibers, muscles, nerve tension, bone placement, etc. She tried to get the balance between the law of physics and her environment. She studied the anatomy of the Yali beast and how it mingled with nature. Ariel Sebastian and Arvina plotted to strike a killing blow. Not giving room for errors. Being aware that the essence of combat is kill or be killed. In short, it boils down to one single rule... 'MURDER'. Either she dies or the spirit Yali beast dies.

Ariel Sebastian's Araki Ryu skill was pushed to the max level. She uses her Karate skill to dash forward but silently to the position of the Yali beast. Ariel Sebastian kick starts her LINE skill. An uppercut was delivered to the chin of the spirit Yali beast. With quick reflexes, she also stabs at the neck of the Exotic Yali beast.

'Pshh..'

Blood gushes out from the side neck of the spirit Yali beast missing its vital nerve because it dodge a killing blow.

The spirit Yali beast became irritated and angry and tried to smash the ant bothering it. Ariel Sebastian uses her Akido skill to redirect the attack with her ??? Nightmare dagger away from herself. She sustained a mild cut on her hand. Owing to the scratch of the spirit Yali nails. Those brief interlude didn't stop her ??? Nightmare dagger from piercing the stretch-forward hand of the Yali beast.

'Swoosh'

The scorpion tail of the Yali beast strikes. Ariel Sebastian skillfully dodges with her karate sharp and quick movements. Angampora's skill was in apex use. Ariel Sebastian forcefully grabbed the Yali beast's scorpion tail. She lifted the whole beast up and bashed the whole Yali beast's body to the ground.

'Trumpet...'

The spirit Yali beast was extremely angry. Angry or not, was none of Ariel Sebastian's worries. Her worry was how to kill the gigantic beast swiftly. Ariel Sebastian remembered her training. 'The art of war is all about locating the blind spots of your enemies. That's their weakness in faster milliseconds.' She activates her LINE skill. She was trying to grab the spirit Yali beast's weakness.

Ariel Sebastian slightly pulled her rear shoulder back. So, her hands are even with each other, almost like she could hold a straight stick between them. She swings her elbows slightly above her shoulder, just as she practiced, and then in a downward motion across the spirit Yali beast's head.

'Bam'

The strike connects the only weakness she could spot. Ariel Sebastian was not done. Her legs descended on the spirit beast's chest displaying an infinite kicks. It was fast. It gives an illusion of a sewing machine stitching together materials to make perfect designer clothes. At the same time, The Reaper kicked in. She quickly swiped her ??? Nightmare dagger across the neck of the spirit Yali beast. The ??? Nightmare dagger runes activate. Blood gushes uncontrollably. While Ariel Sebastian retreated. She quickly jumps into the nearby bushes and camouflages with her karate movements. She blends with the environment and waited patiently. The bleeding spirit Yali beast was in total confusion.

Ariel Sebastian did not care at all. Her dagger was in her hand and the tip of the whole of the blade facing upward to the sky. Perfectly aligning from her palm down to her elbow. Just as how the ancient game prince of Persia Warrior Within hold his double blade. This time, it is a single dagger.

Patiently waiting and calculating. All trajectories have been set by Arvina. Ariel Sebastian just has to choose the perfect trajectory to lock and kill the beast. The Exptic Yali beast crazily zooms past her. Bashing everything in his sight. Leaving blood around its part. Ariel Sebastian won't miss this God-sent opportunity. Now was the perfect moment to slay the crazy spirit Yali beast. With Ariel Sebastian's karate skill, she silently jumps, straight onto the Exotic Yali beast's back. Gripping tightly at the spirit Yali beast's neck and steadily herself with her Angampora skill.

'Swoosh'

The furious spirit Yali beast tried to strike Ariel Sebastian with its scorpion tail. Ariel Sebastian skillfully dodges with her karate skill.

'Swish'

Ariel Sebastian retaliated. The ??? Nightmare dagger flashed cleanly across the spirit Yali beast's neck. It almost cut it off completely. Blood spills like a fountain. The life nerve of the Yali beast's neck was perfectly spotted by Arvina. It was a great help to Ariel Sebastian. Arteries and carotids on the spirit Yali beast's neck were cut through. Yet, Ariel Sebastian still gripped tightly the spirit Yali beast. To make sure the spirit beast dies before letting it go. The spirit Yali beast shakes for some time and collapsed on the ground. Deadlier than dead.

A melodious sound rings in Ariel Sebastian's mind.

At last, the hard-fought fight was won. Time for Ariel Sebastian to enjoy a barbecue.

She left the environment. Fearing for the arrival of the parent of the baby Yali spirit beasts. She was kilometers away from her battle scene. Checking to confirm there were no danger. She set up a fire. Ariel Sebastian roasted the leg of the spirit baby Yali beast as she was taught in her third grade in college. She added all the condiments she purchased. The juicy meat was ready to eat.

'Munch'

Each bite Ariel Sebastian took. A mild tone plays. In the end, it totals up to...

The cells rang seven times, and the DNAs rang seven times too. Then, the notification stopped.

Meanwhile, Ariel was experiencing her first DNA upgrade. A cool and refreshing liquid passed through Ariel Sebastian's veins, the arteries, and down to her brain. Strengthening each of her cells, DNAs, and neurons.
