Chapter 3 Everyone loves cake
Miyuki returned to the city, she was happy because during her trip back no wolfs or bears tried to attack her unlike when she made her way there. Ignorant to the effects of her high fighting spirit, the wolves would hide and the bears would climb high up into the trees as she passed through their territories. She went and had lunch with Mo and Mike who saw her once beautiful white robe now in tatters, and was concerned of what had occurred, but he also sensed that she had grown a lot stronger.
As they ate lunch Miyuki told them about her story, they were relieved that everything turned out ok abut were worried about the guild she had made an enemy of. They knew nothing about the guild because they were killed so quickly. The local guilds still were not very influential but have enough power to sway several nobles, in other words they could make the life of their enemies miserable for as long as there in the kingdom. Miyuki wasn't worried at all.
"oni-sama will be here soon and he can take care of them"
Mo and Mike knowing her strengths shuddered at the thought of an older brother who was admired by such a powerful individual. Meanwhile in the kingdom of kallamore there was a monster amongst monsters destroying everything that came close to him, kallamore had been in a month long siege against hordes of monsters who came over the northern mountains. Annoyed at the fact that he couldn't leave until the kingdom was safe he entered the fray and caused massive chaos.
"wait for me Miyuki ill come find you soon"
It was late and Miyuki decided to head to the inn to get some shut eye early. She was exhausted from the constant fighting and even though she has trained so hard it is difficult to overcome mental fatigue at this level. So that Nana and Leez could sleep comfortably in the dungeon Miyuki had stayed awake all night fending off groups of lizerdemen. she had spent 3 days and nights awake and fighting. When she got into bed the mental and physical fatigue hit her, she slept like a baby.
After a couple of days resting, Miyuki woke up around noon feeling refreshed she got up. She wore beginner clothes because her robe was ruined. The twins Nana and leez gave her a large amount of the loof from the dungeon hunt including all the gold that the party they killed had as a tank you. That left Miyuki with about 1400 gold; they were all surprised at how wealthy those people were. Miyuki walked into a clothes shop with clothes more suited for fashion rather than protection. The shop owner looked at her with a distasteful look, because she was wearing newby clothes and this shop had expensive items.
After an hour of browsing and trying out clothes his mind made a U-turn. She was beautiful, people were entering his shop buying a random item then walking away just so they can spend longer looking at Miyuki. After she decided on what she wanted she walked up to the counter and bought a lone light blue one piece dress with a matching summer hat.
"How much for these?" asked Miyuki
"No need to worry their on the house, you helped me out a lot" the shop keeper was so happy about his profits for the day he gave her the dress as part of her commission.
Miyuki thought nothing of it and headed toward her next destination the city’s main blacksmith, as she entered to shop she herd hammering and 2 familiar voices. It was Nana and Leez, they were in the corner using an anvil to hammer swords. Miyuki walked up behind them and just watched them work with interest, the twins continued hammering.
"I wonder if we will meet that nee-chan that saved us again" said leez
"don't worry we will she's on our friends list"
"hmmm...i wonder how she looks naked she was pretty"
They continued like this mindless talking about Miyuki sexyness and body, initially Miyuki blushed a little then started to get annoyed.
Just as they finished making their sword
*Oouch* both girls squealed at the same time
"heh, so you see me like that. Maybe i shouldn't have saved you"
A chill ran down there spines, Miyuki was pinching nanas right and leezs left cheek with an evil look.
"were sorry we were just joking" leez said while still drooling form imagining Miyukis naked body
"please forgive us" begged Nana
"hmmm" Miyuki stood still for a moment then smiled silted her head and said
"Should i strip you two naked then?"
*noooooooooo* they shouted simultaneously and covered their chests with their hands.
Miyuki let go of their cheeks andd began laughing "got you"
"so mean" Nana complained.
After a while the atmosphere settled down, Nana and leez explained that they were actually a hidden class called Twin blacksmith warriors, and there were training the blacksmith proficiency. They get extra experience, make better weapons and do more damage when they do everything together. Miyuki left them after a while, they had promised to meet up later at a small cake shop near the city square.
Nana introduced Miyuki to the head blacksmith, a small ugly dwarf with the body of a child but the face of a 50 year old his name was Devon and was one of the best craftsmen in the kingdom. This was obvious just from looking at the size of the smithy; there were over 12 furnaces and countless anvils. He makes amour and weapons for the royal nights and city guards along with his apprentices and other blacksmiths in this smithy.
Miyuki requested skin tight armour which covered all the vitals with metal plates connected by leather, she wanted to be able to move freely while having vital protection. This was not your typical request because warriors and paladins wore heavy plated amour with chainmail underneath making it heavy but having great protection, priest and wizards had no need for armour because they were protected and rouges and archers needed light leather to increase their dexterity.
Miyuki’s design peaked the old smiths interests and alongside with a tailor he knew he was going to take on the project, but he didn’t tell this to her straight away.
"You look like a mage young one, why do you need armour?"
"I also need a sword, magic is not as fast as a sword in certain situations" Miyuki said this like it was an obvious fact and that all mages should carry a sword.
"hahaha, i like you... you are the first mage I've seen who is interested in actual combat"
"Is that so?" Miyuki said with an innocent face
"So show me your old sword and let’s begin on a plan for your new armour and weapon"
Taking out the sword the old man looked at Miyuki with anger and surprise
"YOU MORON, an idiot little girl lie you using and iron sword with magic, are you stupid iron drains mana!! and what is this a frail thing like you passed the basic training!"
"The iron only drains some mana and magical damage, it good sacrifice if I can use it to protect myself in close quarters combat"
The dumbfounded dwarf Devon smiled
"I like your spirit kid" he had decided to use the rare mineral mithril for her so it doesn’t affect her spell casting, also its light and very strong. No 'visitor' on the continent was skilled enough to use this material yet, but the old man was well versed with its use.
"ok girly let’s talk"
Miyuki gave him her dimensions for the armor and then the price negotiations began. Dwarfs were greedy by nature but the prospect of making something new was an exciting thing for this old smith. Also he was rich, he had several contracts with the royal family, nobles and several guilds so he has been living comfortably for the past decade. (Comfortably for a dwarf means getting to play with any ore they want and make stuff they want)
The armour and sword he was planning to make for her would cost about 20-30 thousand gold but let her have it for only for the cost of the ores and leather 1000 gold. As Miyuki left she glanced at the twins in the corner working hard and smiled.
Miyuki had about 400 gold left; she headed towards the city square where the merchants had their stores up to buy a wizards robe. Wizard robes were high in demand but Miyuki was one of the highest level mages so there were surprisingly a high number of level 150-200 robes available. For a good price she found a unique item, it was a black silky robe which looked more like a dress with a silver belt; Miyuki checked the stats. The merchant was annoyed because Miyuki looked like a low level player manhandling his merchandise.

The merchant didn’t seem to know the true value of the robe because it was in a pile with lots of lower level cheaper clothes. This mages item seemed to only reveal itself to a high level magician Miyuki got a great deal for 370 gold for the robe and belt. If these items were to be sold 2-3 years later (in game) they could reach a price over 20,000 gold because of the low level requirements and high mana regen/ increase in max mana.
Happy with her progress today she decided to call Tatsuya to see how he is doing
“oni-sama, are you busy?”
“No not at all, are you ok Miyuki?” even if he was bust he would never ignore a call from his little sister
“it’s nothing…I was wondering how long until I could see you again?” Miyuki was blushing furiously she didn’t want to rush Tatsuya but she missed him, as far as she could remember she had never been away from him for this long, since the moment he was assigned as her guardian.

“The monsters siege on the city I am in should be over within the next couple of days, the trip to the kingdom of heaven should take me 1 months travel to get to you after that, until then I have sent you a present with a magic circle ive finished. A merchant by the name of Hope will come to the heaven kingdom in a couple of days if you can finder and introduce yourself as my sister she will hand over a the magic circle and a couple of gifts I got for you”
“ok, thank you oni-sama” she said with a hint of excitement in her voice, any and all gifts from her oni-sama were treasures to Miyuki. But a slight frown was on her face, who is this Hope? Is Tatsuya getting close to girls again!
Miyuki met up with Nana and leez and had dinner at a tavern they liked then headed towards a cake shop they wanted to go but was previously too expensive. They had gained lots of gold from the dungeon hunt. Even though Nana and Leez looked a lot like a mini Honoka their personalities couldn't be different Nana was very similar to Erika, loud very opinionated and cheeky and Leez was more like Shizuku, she kept quiet a lot of the time and only talked to say something important.
They could see the cake shop at the end of the road, but then suddenly a crowd of players appeared blocking the road. There was a female priest pointing at their direction and shouting
“that’s them”
“that’s them”
The three girls turned around to see who they were pointing at but there was no one directly behind them. They were slowly being surrounded, Nana and leez then noticed that the priest shouting was the one from the party who tricked them in the dungeon. They whispered this to Miyuki and began to worry.
“sorry Miyuki we got you mixed up in this” Nana said on the verge of tears, she was still very much a child.
“don’t worry….” Miyuki was inturruped by a heavy serious voice
“hey you! You’re the ones who attacked our guild mates and stole our treasuries money as they were resting in a dungeon; you spineless cowards give us our money back and prepare to die.”
Apparently one of the players they had killed was holding on to a large amount of money for the guild, no wonder he had over 1000 gold thought Miyuki. Nana and leez were too scared to talk after what they had been through so Miyuki took the lead.
“all I did was save two little girls form being tortured by your guild. They were forced to damage monsters so that your friends over there could level up faster”
The crowd surrounding them smiled “so what? We did nothing against the rules”
“Heh so this is just a game to them, as I thought” mumbled Miyuki
“what was that?...oh well it doesn’t matter you’re a pretty one so why don’t I teach you a lesson?”
The guy who seemed to be there leader said while unsheathing a big double handed sword from his back. Miyuki did the same with her staff
“oh a mage, haha lets see what you can do!”
As long as it was one vs. one Miyuki was confident in her skills
You have been challenged to a duel to the death by Tron
Do you wish to accept?
Yes No
Miyuki pressed yes and moved in front of the twins
“ok let’s go”
Tron was a high level member of the guild with a level of 156 and was known for the unstoppable force he could swing his big two handed sword. His trademark skill was to cleave enemies in two. But he didn’t know that his opponent was higher level than him and with her intermediate magic reinforcement active she had a strength and dexterity stat not far behind his own.
Miyuki calmed her mind and prepared for combat, Tron treated this as a show and was getting his guild to cheer him on. Miyuki whispered to the twins to teleport out of something goes wrong, they nodded and the countdown started.

Tron made the first moved swinging his sword form left to right trying to cleave Miyuki in two. Miyuki reacted immediately by activating acceleration magic on the end of her staff and swinging it to parry the attack. To others it looked like a mage with a thin staff parried a two handed sword with the flick of a wrist. Tron was shocked and stumbled back for a moment then got serious he took a stance with his sword facing downwards like a shield. But when he looked up he couldn’t find Miyuki.
He was too slow, after Miyuki parried the attack she ducked low and moved as fast as an assassin two his back and stabbed him twice with the bone tree staff aiming for the weak points in his armour. Because the staff had a massive debuff it did very little damage compared to a sword would do (debuf was at 89%).
You have taken damage
-312 hp
-492 hp
Tron was mad now, he swung round spinning his blade to cut her but Miyuki beautifully jumped backwards arcing her back and doing a flip to doge the sword and stabbed 3 more times. He was forced back a couple of meters he still had over 9000 health and was confident he could beat her.
“haha you fooled me your no mage, nice trick but now you die” He said confidently
Miyuki was happy with her movements after she levelled up so many times the extra points in dex helped her a lot. She was only using this duel to test out her strength after the dungeon annihilation.
Trons sword glowed light green he was activating his sword skills but it didn’t matter every time Miyuki would just parry with her staff and in some case when his swing was to strong she would add acceleration magic to hit he attack away. This kept cancelling his sword skills which made tron mad, he was almost out of mana and was being toyed with by a little girl.
It was too late in the duel to just kill the three girls by overwhelming them with numbers because several passing guards had stopped and were watching the duel from the crowd. These knights wouldn’t stand idle as the rules of a duel were broken, they had too much honour. Also guards were known to be in the late level 200s and were not to be messed with.
During the fight Miyuki had reached advance mana manipulation, this made the staffs debuff be reduced to 70%, increasing her stat, health and mana by a lot. Feeling as it was about time to end the duel Miyuki jumped back and activated Phonon masor targeting all 4 limbs. In quick succession 4 lasers shot out from the tip of her staff scorching the air as they fired, leaving only Trons torso on the floor.
Because of the heat the wound was burned shut so he didn’t die.
You have lost a Limb –will regenerate after 30 mins out of combat
You have lost a Limb –will regenerate after 30 mins out of combat
You have lost a Limb –will regenerate after 30 mins out of combat
You have lost a Limb –will regenerate after 30 mins out of combat
Helpless and shocked Tron laid on the floor looking at the sky he had 400 hp left, not caring anymore he shouted
“kill those 3 bitchs!” a staff impaled his face killing him
Miyuki had won the duel with ease, all the guild members were scared for a moment but when spectators began to cheer they got mad told them to shut up and aimed their weapons at the girls. Miyuki hinted to the twins the teleport out and Miyuki used psions to create a simple light convergence activation sequence. She had not prepared a magic circle for this so she could not cast it as fast. A small light orb formed in the middle of the angry guild members and slowly got brighter and brighter blinding everyone until it dispersed. During this everyone was blinded and didn’t attack. Meanwhile Miyuki used acceleration magic to launch herself over to the next street. Straightening out her dress and she casually starts to walk towards to the cake shop. As she sat down through the window she could see the guards had arrested the guild members and a couple of the spectators that were fighting. Nana and Leez walked in to the shop at that time and joined Miyuki on a small round table. They all giggle and proceeded to look at the menu.
A week later things had settled down, the guild that had caused all the trouble were forced to disband because of the fines for starting a ruckus were too high (guild name was never mentioned because they are insignificant).
Miyuki spent her time training her skill masteries against a goblin colony made up of several small villages around a large goblin town near the city. Because these goblins were high in numbers and over level 150 in smaller villages with levels over 200 in the town, not many people were able to kill them but it was perfect for Miyuki. She would practice phonon masor, Nephilim and her acceleration magic while standing on a tower of ice she had made. The tower was not very steep or high; it was more like a cone shape. The goblins were very stupid and kept trying to catch her by climbing the cone but would just slip and fall. Basically they were target practice, the goblin archers were targeted first then she slowly killed them all.
She would do this to a different goblin village every day thinning out the colonies numbers. Her skill masteries grew significantly but her magical reinforcement when it reached the advance level stopped growing when she had it active, only when Miyuki was in hand to hand combat with it active would she gain any experience. This made Miyuki take out the last two villages with her melee and acceleration magic only (to boost the speed of her swing). This helped her train her dex/str/vit. After the week she had taken out all the villages and decided to not attack the goblin town because of its massive population and high levels. Each village had around 100-200 goblins but the town had over 10 times that. Because of goblins fertility and that no one other than Miyuki was attacking the colony; the town had grown into a city and was amassing forces.
A warning popped up but Miyuki took no notice because many like this had come up before.
Warning you have enraged the goblins
