We were walking through one of the many forests that were near the town we were staying at looking for some wolves since they had been killing lots of the town peoples animals, as we walked Luna seemed a bit more scared then she normally was maybe it was because we were in the woods where her people also resided, since she had been kicked out of her village she has been fearful of the others in her town hunting her, the wolves weren't hard to kill thankfully but there were a lot of them to kill, but the ice thing was the fact we would be paid a lot for this mission, as we walked I heard branches break behind us and felt we could be walking into an ambush so I switched directions so we would walk back around "why are we walking in a circle" luna had asked I answered simply "we might've been walking into an ambush and I don't want the wolfs or whatever to get a jump on us" she nodded and we continued walking to get behind where I had heard the branch snap, when we got back around I found footprints of whatever was following us "not a wolf could be a demi human" she nodded "it could be" she said, "but why would they be following us" we continued to follow the footprints and a few minutes later i we found the person they were hiding in a bush i grabbed him by the neck and pulled him out of the bush and then held firm when he tried to escape "so why were you following us" he didn't speak but continued to try to escape then when he realised that he couldn't he spoke "i wont tell you anything" 'damn i wish i could read minds' sadly the nanites didn't respond this time "well then ill crush your throat" he i guess didn't think that i would kill him so he started to speak when i actually began to put more pressure on his throat "ill speak" he said in a bare whisper "then get to speaking" he was breathing heavily "we were sent to follow the people killing the wolves to see if she was with them" luna wasn't in sight she was hiding in a tree near by "whos the she" he sniffed for a second and then said "she was with you" i tightened my grip and said "who is the she you speak of" then slightly released the pressure "her name is luna she is a four taled fox but you already know this" i nodded "she was in the slave market" he seemed surprised "well then would you mind releasing me" i smiled and then said "no, i need one more question answered, ok" he nodded "ok" and then i quit smiling "whats the name of the one who banished Luna?" he seemed surprised by this "how do you know she was banished" i tightened my grip to the point he could barely breath "i said i found her in the slave market who says i didn't buy her, but answer my question" he shook his head "i wont answer your questions" i frowned "hey rogue Processes is there a way to gain accurate information from this demi human" 'yes by simply adding your blood we can scan his mind' i tied him to a tree a then cut my hand and poured the blood down his throat "now what rogue processes" suddenly i had a name and a face for who i was going to hunt due to his banishment of Luna, now that i had my information i killed him by breaking his neck, i walked to a tree relatively close by and called for luna but she didn't come down so i climed up the tree and found the small patch i had told luna to bring with her at all times, I punched the tree with my fist and a small impact was made in the tree, "hey rogue processes can you show me the way that the demi human I just killed came from so I can find his village" Rogue processes said 'yes' and as if my body was on autopilot began moving when I didn't tell it to "hey Rogue can you begin to make my body run so we can save Luna" and my body began running after a few minutes my body slowed down and I was back in control, so looked around the village and found that they kept Luna in a wooden cage with multiple guards around her, I snuck into the village killing the few guards I found generally by snapping their necks, then I got to the four guards guarding Luna they I couldn't just snap their necks I would have to go head on so I went back to one of the guards I killed and grabbed her spear then I went back to where they kept Luna and aimed my spear for one of the guards hearts and threw it with so much force I could barely keep up with it, then I began running towards the other guard on that side he seemed shocked to see a human running towards him but he raised his spear and tryed hiting me but I ducked under it and ripped it out of his grip and then with the flat side thrust it towards him with such force he went flying back slamming into a building nearby, then the other two guards came at me and if not for Rogue processes I would have died but it moved perfectly to dodge the attacks and then it threw the spear we had it hit one of their necks and then it rushed forward and killed the other one because he was trying to run, I walked over to where Luna was locked up and ripped the door off of its hinges but Luna was unconscious so I grabbed her and began running out of the village I had made it to the outskirts of the woods when I heard people running behind me and lightly set Luna down and faced behind me multiple of the demi humans were behind me "if I've killed four guards set to protect her without breaking a sweat do you think slightly more armor people can defeat me" they didn't speak but a third person came from behind them and said "she is a traitor to us so why do you choose to protect her" I laughed "because she is a friend" the man shook his head "you've made a stupid friend, a friend that will cost you your life" I shook my head "no you pursing her is what will cost you your life" the two guards moved forward with their sword and shield, the first one never expected my strength and speed because his armor was pierced by my hand within seconds it wasn't enough to be fatal but was enough to make it to where he wouldn't live the same life, "you can still back out of this fight" they still didn't say anything when I speed blitzed the same one and pierced near his stomach covering from my hand to my elbow in blood, then I pulled my hand out of his stomach and he fell clutching his stomach, "what are you" said the man who was the leader "just a human" he shook his head "no you cant be just a human you have to be a demon lord or something" I shook my head "I just travel dimension" his eyes whent wide and he bowed to me "please forgive us space God" I'm guessing from my display of strength and what I said he thinks I'm a god "you cant be forgive but your clan can be" he started crying "what about this other guard" the leader of the clan motioned for the guard to set down his weapons "I'll accept you offer" i looked down upon him "and you clan must stop going after Luna she is now under my wing of protection" he nodded "you will suffer in death" I walked over to him and stabbed him through his stomach "you can leave guard" the guards left and I picked up Luna and began walking when I heard a roar.
