I am galloping in the middle of the night, since there could be bandits or worse, the slave dealers, I am using the sound proof barrier, since Oscar will be moving all night I set it as a jog in a steady pace.

All was good until I was passing a forest, since there were not clouds and in the sky a full moon shine I could see a little, but since I entered the forest the most I could see is a few steps ahead of me.

Suddenly, the urges to pee make me do a little stop to go to the bathroom in the wild, after I spotted a bush where I wouldn't be seen I answer the call of nature, with the sound proof barrier active all the time, but suddenly I hear the laughter of a man.

“Hahaha, I am lucky!, a free horse!”

Hearing that my heart started to beat faster than normal, since is night the only ones who can be wandering at this time are bandits, criminals and more, very unlikely could be a normal person, that possibility is very scarce.

I finished my business with the bush and go up to see the person who is trying to take Oscar.

It is a tall man, in his thirties, with brown hair, a robust body, scar in his face, he use a dirty leather armor that covers his chest, he is wearing dirty shorts by some strange reason and in the right side of his waist a dagger could be seen in his sheath.

Since he is stealing my horse, morally thinking I can attack him.

I prepared to kill magical beasts and attack people, but kill was not one of that, so I did my best to not kill him, but that not means I couldn't cut off his dominant hand.

I take out my sword, then I slashed his right hand, he shouted so hard that could be hear by the whole forest.

“HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!”

I really think that the whole forest heard it. The man start to roll on the ground while grabing his handless arm.

“I know that being in the night could give you a good reason that there is a free horse to take, but better safe than sorry, bye”

Using some water of my canteen to wash the blood of my sword and sheath it, when I was going to go up of Oscar and continuing with my travel an arrow scratch my shoulder.

“Ouch!”

Just because I cry that not mean that I get distracted, I tried to go up of Oscar again but I was surrounded by other six man, three in the front and three in the back of the road the archer that shot the arrow was in the front.

“F#ck you bitch!, that is one of our man!”

“Hehehehe~, when we capture you I will have my sweet time with you!”

“She is a beauty!, we can sell her in a good price, after some uses of course!, hehehehe~”

There were a bunch of comments with hatred and others with lust, but all of them can only meant one thing, they are the slavers that I was supposed to be captured and have a live of misery after they capture me.

“Fire!”

Just like that I invoke fire to attack the three in front of the road to the next kingdom, since I don't the power to fight the six of them the only thing I could do is to run, run like my life depends of it, because my life really depends of it!

“Wind barrier!”

When I start to run with Oscar I disabled the sound proof barrier and activated wind barrier, this is a barrier that have strong winds go around it, with this only a metallic spear shot by a big crossbow will be able to pass through the barrier.

I can hear the arrows being shattered by the wind barrier, I gain distance of them, I never slowed down but 4 of the six man close distance with their own horses.

With one of them being the archer, since two of them have swords and the last one a dagger.

The archer continued with shooting arrows, I was surrounded by the ones with swords in both sides and the one with the dagger is in the back of the other man in my right side.

They slash in the wind barrier but thankfully the take turns to do it, right slash, then an arrow, left slash, an arrow.

This continued for half an hour, I was starting to get low in magic, but after I saw that the archer ran out of arrows I use fire again.

“Fire!”

Since the wind barrier it was still active the fire spread all around me, this not only startled the guys in my sides, it also scared their horses. Oscar wasn't scared, after all I trained him to make me company in my travels.

“I always know that training you was one of the best things I did!”

“Hiiiiiiiihhh!”

It seems that Oscar is happy with my comment, after attacking with fire two more times, the archer and the man with the dagger go down.

Oscar started to grow tired, but since both the bandits and the night were gone I feel at easy, in the distance after going out of the forest I see a city, not a village, not a town, it is a city with a great amount of buildings and people, with a big wall around it, knights guarding the entrances, and people going in and out.

“Finally out of Emory, that sure was a long night”

With a relaxed sigh I go to the city.
