(From the Guard captains Point of view)
“Who and why are you here?”
As I exclaimed Infront of the mysterious silver eared felarin girl who just managed to strike a rather devastating Heavy blow that even our senses can notice the danger from that same exact blow that killed the [VIS URSA].
Greater beasts were , essentially variants of lesser beasts that were rare in sight , but they were considered to be part of the strongest in their disclosed regions, just falling short from grand beasts they could still inflict much damage to groups of individuals who were not fit.
The [VIS URSA] wasn’t exactly the strongest out of the many. but none of the men in the caravan except for me fared a chance against it, even with the rest of the guards and me at the forefront, the battle was a very grueling stalemate.
Yet it collapsed and died in just seconds.
「 I should be careful. 」
And I responded again.
“What’s your reason of being here?”
“Un.”
She didn’t speak much other than a single sound from her mouth right after staring at us expresionlessly, even the other guards stationed behind me were frightened at the sight, while the group couldn’t beat the [VIS URSA] easily without taking casualties, our approach didn’t do much harm to it at all.
「if she took a greater beast down, then killing us would be a chore to her. 」
Then something unexpected happened
She collapsed to the ground.
I ran up to her to check what exactly was going on, as for that rather intimidating stare down. At least it didn’t reveal much regarding killing intent luckily, then I proceeded to cast the commonly known identification method by coursing ambient ether mana through the person.

It seems she’s of the tenth level, but what surprised us was that she already had 4 affinities unlocked, even more so
spells that were regarded to be powerful and those were leveled up Aswell too!
But it seems her state was just in tatters to say the least, what she wore is already ragged, even more so she has a status effect called [fragmented soul], which may be concerning considering its name, and as I checked one of the guards told.
“She is suffering of ether exhaustion!”
After checking the conditions and reorganizing one of the wagons in the caravan, as well as managing to procure a simple dress from one of the merchants thanks to the fact that they held a gratitude for us and the mysterious girl.
We put her in one of the wagons and we went through the path again after that ordeal, the girl sleeping soundly on one of the wagons in a curled-up position.
(Aohono’s point of view onward)
“Uoogh”
「 I woke up in a wagon, but I wasn’t in one earlier? And more so I seem to be wearing a new change of clothes. 」
Well now that I remember right after the fight from earlier, I felt a numbness crawling right on my back, maybe there was something wrong of the sorts, but it wasn’t physical. It was more of like my soul was tired and that my ether was collapsing. Maybe it had something to do with [Fragmented Soul]? using up my ether for the whole day after all of that testing really did put a burden, even Moreso that fight really was the tipping point.
I guess [Fragmented Soul] is present because my transfer was to a [Lesser deity] that was dying, so it seemed to be that I cant exert my power yet in this rejuvenating state.
「Anyways now I have to check what is going on right now. 」
“Hey. You! you’re finally awake.”
Some folks were up by a campfire just outside the wagon, well it was just the guards and their captain, so I honestly didn’t have much worry as to what was going on, even then of course id want to speak but its still distorted when I try to make up anything more of than just sounds of Discontent or Agreement in this case.
「Well maybe I should head on out. 」
Well, this time I climbed out of the wagon with a simple white dress than the rags I had earlier, so I guess I managed to gain their gratitude.
“So, I was wondering, how did you get here? Even more. Where are your parents?”
“Uu.”
I swung my head left and right in disagreement, because expression and movement was my only way to communicate, well till I manage to fix this distorted voice.
“You don’t have parents?”
I nodded.
“Well I guess that figures, luckily the caravan route is passing by a Felarin village, I can assure with the help you have given to us , you might be able to find accommodation there.”
I perked up my ears as I heard that there was one this close! Well at least that wraps it up, in the campfire there was food, well part of it were meat from the animals hunted during the caravan trip to say the least, which were then put in sticks. But I wasn’t that hungry yet so I only took a few before finally residing back to the wagon to rest.
….
…….
………..
“Hey, look over there!”
and as I stared at the view in front of me, I witnessed buildings!
「Finally! 」
