71 Awakening As The Storm

"Hold and contact Mirsha for confirmation on the situation. She's the one who accepted this mission from the a.s.sociation."

"Okay." A man wearing black armour touched his earpiece to contact someone east of the perimeter they had around the mysterious daemon village, "…Mirsha, what is your status?"

Mirsha, a woman with flowing red hair and a staff received the call and answered with a lowered voice, "We are on the clear, the other two areas have reported that we are ready to go, but, something's wrong."

"What is it?"

"70% of the scouts have yet to return or even make contact. I fear that

In the Scorching Forest, there had been a lot of deaths happening. The Hunter a.s.sociation posted a request to investigate the cause, and three weeks ago, a group of scouts took on the mission and only three people returned three days ago from the twenty-seven that undertook the request.

All of their accounts were the same, a Village, a Society of daemons had appeared. Foreign daemons that should not exist in the Scorching Forest.

Many suspected it to be a dungeon outbreak but no signs had been confirmed. But it was clear that they needed to take action. They needed to move in and destroy the enemies from their roots and protect the people they wish to protect.

Mirsha, a B+ Hunter took on the job. She was a LVL 121 Hunter who wishes to take the Rank Hunter exam in two years or so.

Lowering her head, Mirsha stared at the picture she had on the locket that she wore. She smiled at the sight of a young child smiling at her and her sweet-sounding voice echoing in her ears.

This is a high-paying mission, if they can annihilate this place and complete it then she might just be able to take a break, 'I have not seen Lucia for a while.'

She feels bad leaving her side, but this is her duty as well as her job. She prayed to the G.o.d she believed in so that she'll be able to return to her side.

"I'm going home." Mirsha took in a deep breath and her eyes quickly changed, she stared at the village before her and contacted Baek and announced, "I'll begin, get ready."

"Understood."

Mirsha took a step forward and held on to her staff. A bright red sphere-like gem began gathering the MP of the world. She activated a skill that should use 50% of her MP but with the help of her staff, the usage was cut in half.

A fire erupted from right above the staff and using it as the medium to further increase her firepower!

"Fire Magic: Dragon's Dance!!"

From her staff, the flow of Fire Magic exploded with power. Fire began to dance and the strings of flames weaved the form of a serpent that flew to the air reaching thousands of meters up. The fire dragon was seen several kilometres away.

The Dragon roared and split the to hundreds of b.a.l.l.s of flames. The daemons within the village began to move. Their loud cries and shouts echoed; their panic was apparent just from their voices alone.

The humans got ready to intercept the daemons who will be fleeing from the spell. However, there was none that run out of fear. No daemon sought to leave the premises and everyone laughed, thinking, "Stupid beings, are they simply going to wait for their death?"

Dragon's Dance a unique spell Mirsha received from the system after she reached LVL 100. Like every human, she receives new spells that play according to their greatest strengths and stats every 25 levels.

This was her strongest AOE spell. And the temperature it held was intense that one could feel it even if they stood dozens of meters away.

She cannot see the daemons inside the Village, but as this many b.a.l.l.s of fire appeared from above that it illuminated the skies, one could only imagine just how hot it was.

'Idiots.' She said with a deep voice. She watched as the flames descended, and when her emotions reached its peak, she thought that it was already a done deal, but then, she saw it, a small figure rising up from the Village like an eagle soaring up.

'What's that?' She was unsure, her eyes were not strong like a Warrior's, thus she called Baek, "Baek, you have a Clairvoyance skill correct? What is it that you see…? Baek? BAEK!"

Baek couldn't respond quick enough that it made Mirsha worried, but before she can issue a command about something was wrong, Mirsha heard Bake speak, "…I-it's a la.s.s."

As he said those words, the wind around the area began picking up. The la.s.s he spoke of went to try and meet the b.a.l.l.s of flames and as she reached a hundred meters away from the village and fifty meters away from the fire, she made her move.

Calling upon the wind, a smile crept onto her face and as she released a wide smile she conjured it!

"Storm s.h.i.+eld!" A maelstrom in the middle of the air appeared, the wind raged and howled raging like a whirlpool in the ocean. The wind picked and created a plate-like barrier in an attempt to fend off the fire.

The fire quickly met with the Storm s.h.i.+eld Lilith poured a third of her mana into and then…

BooM!

A m.u.f.fled exploded echoed causing the for the shockwave to rock the area, a clash should have happened but the next event that transpired was not what everyone expected.

The Hunter's expression changed as all of them shouted, "Take Cover!"

The fire scattered like the shrapnel of a shotgun sh.e.l.l everywhere except the Village. And as the Hunters became disoriented from the sudden attack, the childish roar echoed!

"KILL!"

It was only then that the daemons of the village rushed!

And upon the wake of the Empress, a slaughter was already about to unfold. And as the daemons bravely charged forth, Mirsha grasped onto her locket as she roared and charged forth.
