Part 1 – Begin the Search!
Somehow, one way or another, I was stuck with another quest that I couldn't refuse at all even though I 'had' the option. The Fairy Queen was relieved that I accepted the quest even though she threatened me to accept it in the first place.
“So where exactly are these Fairy Hunters?” I asked.
There was no way of completing the quest if I can't find them and there are so many restrictions as well. I can't let them escape, I can't let them kill the Fairies which they are hunting and I also have to make sure they won't do this ever again. Frankly this was more painfully tedious then the Collect the Mana Fragment quest by Warlic.......hell this quest was tedious because it kinda related to that quest in the first place.
“The Forest will guide you to them.” answered the Fairy Queen before getting up and leaving.
Hey! That's no way to treat a person who is helping you! Damn, what the hell does that mean.....
[In that case, head the opposite direction of where the fairies are heading. They are escaping them so heading the other way would be best course of action and besides you are in this...form right now. You can probably sense them sooner or later]
Well the problem I have right now is that I can't sense them because something is blocking me off after a certain point. I have no idea if this is the doing of the Fairy Hunters or the Forest but its annoying me right now that there's a blank in my search radius. Wait a minute.......something seems off.
[Hmm.....then head there. There shouldn't be anything that could oppose you right now anyway]
Right....and that mindset almost killed me before. Well I can't disagree with you right now. My body has so much......vitality in it that its pouring out. Wanting to adjust to this 'new' body as much as possible right now, I started to make my way to where the Fairy Hunters 'suppose' to be.
Part 2 – Observation
I was up in a tall tree right now trying not to make a sound. I have located the Fairy Hunters quite easily and I was right in climbing up and observing them a high since they have been searching the ground and keeping a look out on the ground quite a lot. From what I see, they have broken out of the prison that was keeping them here and are about to continue on their Fairy Hunt. You could say this was the perfect time to take them out but I'm sure that all of them were here for now.
Hearing has been amplified
You can hear things that you couldn't from further away how this will cause you to be more affected by loud noises
“Search the parameter. We can't get trapped again.”
“We’ve searched it several times now. How many more times until we move on from this area?”
“Fool! Fairies were here and since we broke out form their magic, they'll find us to trap us again! This is the perfect chance to capture one.”
“Still, we spent several hours now just doing the same thing. The men's morale is decreasing by the hour. I can only keep them in line for a couple more hours then they'll leave us.”
“A couple of hours is perfect! We can spend that time working up a plan.”
“Sigh......why do I feel like we're going to be ambushed right now.”
Thanks to my amplified hearing which has a much larger range, ears dropping on this conversation is simple and I have no chance of being caught since I'm far away from them. Well it seems these people have a problem or two in their command line. I wonder why...
“Hurry up and set up as I said! Do you think a noble like myself would do such meagre work?!”
Ah, that's why. The leader of this so called threatening group is a sheltered noble of some sort. The type that never felt any hardship until now. Well I can kill him quickly but.....I can use him to spread rumours that people shouldn't come here. Hmm.....is that why this place Is called haunted? Because someone here went and made people spread rumours that they shouldn't come here?
Well either way I should continue to watch them to see what they're up to from a safe distance away. Man it would be wonderful to have the 'Marking' skill that Viv has to keep track of these guys.....
[Can't you just sense them normally?]
Yeah.....but after a couple of hours, its hard to keep track of all of them so I kinda filter them out and have to unfilter them afterwards. Its frankly a pain in the butt to try to sort who whose from their presence alone.
[That you're admitting that you're lazy....]
Pretty much.....well now that we both have nothing to do, why don't you explain a couple of things for me. First of all, what the hell is with this form? I mean I have silver hair and I look more like a demon now. Is this due to your 'influence' as well? Or is this something that is from me instead?
[I usually say that its from my 'influence' on your body when the previous processors asked me but I don't know in your case. That form is certainly familiar with me but its a bit different from what I remembered. Perhaps you're influencing your current form as well as much as I am]
Is what you said due to the fact that the Fairy Queen called me a 'destroyer' like you?
[Yes....]
What exactly is a destroyer? I mean you think that they destroy everything around them but neither you or I seem like the type of people that would do that without a reason and besides the Fairy Queen wasn't scared of us at all.
[What exactly are we.......well we are certainly not human but were formerly human to start with. Perhaps its due to our nature that made us into this or some weird bad luck. You awakened your side through me and I did via some certain events. Well I don't know the conditions to being a 'destroyer' but the only thing that is certain is that we are hated by the Gods one way or another but relationships can improve like with people]
llyfr you're beating around the bush again. This is why I can't understand you sometimes.
[Oh, sorry. Its a bad habit to get kids to think more with their heads]
…....
[Anyway, to answer your question a 'destroyer' is something that can disrupt the balance that the Gods created. Meaning that we have the possibility to kill Gods]
Wait wait wait wait wait wait. You can KILL Gods?
[Yeah if they descend to the plane of mortals. The absolute invincibility of Gods disappear while they exist here but that doesn't mean anyone can harm let along kill them. Even the weakest God that descend is several times more powerful than a normal mortal. Even if you bring several armies, they will be wiped out if they attack. Also I believe there is such a thing called Heretical Gods that broke the treaty of Gods]
Heretical Gods?
[To sum it up, Gods clashed in the past to settle their disputes with in turn destroyed things to the point that their numbers slowly decreased along with any other creature that was unfortunate enough to meet them. To counter this the Gods left this plane to first off ensure that their numbers wouldn't decrease any more and to allow life to exist without them destroying everything. But some Gods refused to do this and thus were banded as Heretical Gods that create havoc wherever they go. Unable to directly interfere with the world anymore the Gods entrusted the task of slaying these Heretical Gods to mortals they trust]
So I guess these mortals got slaughtered quite easily.
[Yep, it was very rare for a mortal to slay a God even with the support of a God behind them. Well there are some mortals that managed to do so even without Gods backing them up......]
Really? That sounds like a lie.
[No, its true. If you meet one, run away. They are an existence that suppress even you at your top shape. Common sense does not apply to them. You cannot deal with them and can only get drawn in with them in their conflict. You cannot command them as they see nor have any beings superior to them including Gods]
Well that sounds like you. Your description matches yourself perfectly!
[That's because I'm considered as part of that mad group! Out of all of them I'm the one with the most common sense!]
Say llyfr how did you sealed again?
[Oh I invaded the realm of the Gods and they somehow managed to do so after a long battle that lasted for a couple of years]
It seems you lacked common sense as well.....
Part 3 – Lost magic
“We're going to head out now! Get ready!”
“Yes sir!”
Hmm? They're moving. I better get going as well.
I hopped down from the tree I was relaxing on and landed onto some soft leaves to cushion my fall. I hopped that didn't make too much noise, well I am pretty far from them. Now how will I scare that noble shitless? I don't need the others so I'll kill them.....oh! I can hang their bodies to let the noble guy see them. That'll teach them plenty enough.
In total there are about 10 or so guys I have to kill which are not that strong. Well no need to so sneaky since I need them to be frightened as hell in order to achieve my objective. All of them are shattered because of the decision of that noble guy so this will be easy enough to take the rest out while its going to be a pain to scare the shit out of the noble.

Time Limit: 3 Hours
Ice Formation ? Bolt Form ? Ice Bolt ? Multicast(5)
Ice Bolt(5) ? Homing Shot
I targeted the closest person to me and fired at him. All five ice bolts flew from my hands, around the trees and into the body of the man. When they hit, his life ended.
“What the?”
“He's dead!”
“Damn!”
The rest of the crew reacted to the sudden death of their peer. However it was too late. They can't escape.....well they seem eager to fight me for some reason. Well time to take out some more.
Ice Formation ? Bolt Form ? Ice Bolt ? Multicast(20)
Ice Bolt(20) ? Homing Shot
I targeted 4 guys this time out the remaining 10 and killed them using ice bolts.
“What the hell is going on?!” screamed the noble.
“Protect the master!” screamed one of the remaining guys I have to kill.
I walked slowly towards the men that now grouped together. There was only 6 of them left and I could take them all out. The men were pale as I, their doom was getting closer to them. There was a clear path for me to walk on to get to them thanks to their effects.
Well time to make them feel more fear. The words “Do you have any last words human?” came out and the men armed were shaking more than ever.
“He-hey....KILL THAT THING! I HIRED YOU DIDN'T I?!” shouted the noble.
The noble was wearing some high class clothes that didn't suit the forest. The other 5 men on the other hand were fully equipped for the forest. The forest itself wasn't that deep but thanks to certain creatures it would often would feel several times bigger than normal. Well that's a haunted forest for you, now to finish them off.
Ice Formation ? Spike Form ? Ice Spike ? Multicast(5)
Stolen story; please report.
Ice Spike(5) ? Aim Shot
“Ice Spike”
5 ice spikes appeared underneath the 5 other men I needed to kill and pierced them through their body from the middle of their legs, pushed their body up while continuing to rip them apart and finally splitting them in half.
The noble person that I needed to spared had a certain yellow liquid coming out of his pants as he lost the strength to stand and was trembling at the sight of me. As I walked closer to him, he tried to get away from me but unable to move at all from fear alone, me was trapped in the corpses of his dead minions.
“Tell me, do you have any last words? Else I will torture you to death.”
I raised my hand at the man. It was a bluff since I needed him alive but he knew that I was a magic user so it was still frightening. I continued to walk closer to him while he stared in disbelief.
20 metres until contact

1 metres until contact
I was standing in front of the man now. I did no cast any spells to restrict him since it wasn't necessary. He couldn't escape me either way so there's no point. I drew my sword on my waist and landed it softly on the man's shoulder positioned to slice off his head at will.
I needed the man to fall in deep despair.
But something weird happened.
The man smiled.
Then a magic circle appeared underneath me...no, that was no magic circle, it was something worse.
It was big.
Tens of metres big in diameter alone. At this range and the magic activating right now I can't escape it at all.
“Damn”
If it was a attack type or another other type of magic magic then I could have easily deflected or endured it. But it was the worse kind of thing to face.
Ancient Sealing Magic.
I felt the mana of my body disappearing...No! It was just that I couldn't feel the mana anymore and that means I can't use it at all. The strength from my body that was heavily augmented from magic alone fell to its knee unable to move at all.

“Shit.....”
This is really bad. I just lost 700 stats in one go which is the same as de-levelling 140 times. My body feels REALLY heavy right now and I dropped my sword as well to try and maintain my consciousness.
“Oh, you're still awake?” said a voice that was very different from the noble. From my fading vision I could see that there were a number of people that weren't there before.....no they shouldn't be in this area at all. I couldn't sense any of them at all from a large range.
“How......”
The men were searching through the bodies of the men I killed. They stabbed them when they were finished. The noble that lured me into this trap was also killed promptly without a word.

The Fairy Hunters almost all died to your hands alone. However due to the other threat you will not by compensated due to the danger.
Quest “Crush the Fairy Hunters to save the Fairies” has been updated to “Eliminate the unknown Hunters”
Eventually they gathered all around me like they saw a rare creature. This irradiated me greatly but I was in no condition to even complain at all.
“You are not human are you?” said the voice of a man I couldn't see due to my condition.
“What about it?” I muttered with the last bit of strength I had.
“You are not an Elf, nor a Dwarf, nor a Orc as well. You are not a demon as well. I know since I've seen many of them in the past. So what are you? Tell me, you are powerful enough to take out these men with ease and have much power to spare but success to this magic that seals magic itself. Ah! You are a creature greatly affiliated with magic!”
Damn....if I couldn't only move like I could before......
“Not going to speak are you, or you can't right now due to your strength leaving you. Well no need to kill you, you can be a useful experimental specimen. ”
BONK
With that hit that came from the back of by head, I fell unconscious and into the hands of these people.
Part 4 – Captured in Chains
When I awoke, I found myself in chains. Well this was a very familiar situation I have right here but I feel that I wasn't in 'that' place but captured somewhere in a dungeon of some sort. I try to move my body in any way but the chains firmly prevent me so. I looked around to see that this room as quite dark but had enough light to left me see that there were other people here though no conscious for whatever reason.

Author's Notes:
- 3300~ words
- Just a warning, the next two chapters are of similar length to this. In other words short.
- Notice the different types of text boxes at the end.....
- Now onto other matters....you know that other stuff I was writing instead of this series? I'm halfway done with the first volume. Each chapter is about 30+ pages and 10000+ words long....so you understand why it takes so long to write it. Now there is a problem since that series can be considered a sequel....well it is a sequel though different main characters and its in third person. I think that series will take place 10-20 years in the future of the end of this series. My question is do you want me to post those chapters even though it may (will) spoil part of this series in plot?
EDIT: Got rid of the bonuses in the status window since well....I forgot to take them out
