Chapter 256: The Village’s Guardian
—–
Laura grasped the kid’s neck as she smiled maliciously at the scene. The young child that was the son of the chief which Laura had popped both eyes already began to asphyxiate, her strong little hands were tightly gripping his little neck.
“Aghh… Unngh…”
The kid released small groans of agony as his eyes began to slowly lose their light. The people of the village felt utterly terrified by the scene, none of them could even lift a finger or do anything, they were all terrified, they feared these monsters, to revolt and end up like the kid and his father…
“Yes, that’s the spirit, submit to us, and things will go smooth.” Said Cutthroat, the people’s eyes despaired as they glanced at the kid cry in agony.
“S-Stop!”
However, someone stepped in, a reckless person without a regard for her own safety, someone willing to sacrifice herself for another innocent person, a foolish woman. But also, the most humane of everyone here.
“Nesephise, what are you doing?! Don’t…!” muttered Freese, the man that had tried to take her just now, he tried to stop her because he saw no point in helping the stupid child of the chief now that he had messed up.
“Move aside, fatass!” roared Nesephise, as she unleashed a wave of her hands, a massive frog leg emerged out of thin air, composed of spiritual water and nature mana, which clashed against him and threw him away!
CLASH!
“Uaggh…!”
SPLASH!
He landed in the water head-first, as the gods looked at her with surprise.
“Oh? This ant is rather interesting, what is that power?” wondered Laura.
“Interesting indeed. She is being protected by a strong entity… A totem?” wondered Gehekakth.
“She looks interesting and dangerous. That power has divine nature, yet her body is that of someone not above S-Rank at most… Yet that power…” muttered Cutthroat.
“Let him go!”
Nesephise rushed forward, her entire Aura exuded a powerful divinity from within, as a massive Frog Entity emerged behind her, made entirely out of spiritual energy and mana with even divinity within it! The wonderful colors and essence of Water, Nature, and Life Attributes composed this enormous semi-transparent frog, a thing they had called a Totem!
BOOM!!!
The giant frog had opened its mouth as its tongue hit the ground before Laura, intimidating her and forcing her to fall back, leaving the chief and his son in the ground.
Nesephise quickly flew to their rescue, putting herself in front of the two half-dead people…
To her display of power, the other people looked with mouths wide open. They were incredibly amazed by her power.
However, many of them knew that she was a talented woman at magic and that she had also what they called “the guardian”, but not that she held such power to even stand a chance against Gods themselves!
Nesephise had been born in this village exuding talent. She was born with a powerful entity protecting her the moment she was a baby tadpole. This entity usually emerged whenever she was going to be in danger, helping her, rescuing her, and protecting her each time, which happened a lot, as much like other children, her parents had let her egg to raise by itself, something that sometimes happened in the village when parents couldn’t afford to maintain their children.
Many called this orphan girl Nesephise, which meant in their language “Priestess”. She was obviously the priestess of some kind of god, the divine protection she had with her was the obvious meaning behind it. Due to this, many began to pray to her as if she were the incarnation of such Frog God, although the real identity behind this frog was unknown to everyone.
She had simply been born with such a crest, a crest in her hand that signaled this divine protection. This had also allowed her to utilize amazing magic from the get-go, becoming incredibly proficient in water, life, and nature magic, which she used to heal the wounds of others, control the water around the village to easily catch fish for everyone to eat, and also to nurture nature whenever they went, helping plants grow so she could help feed the people of the tribe and most of the time, the orphaned children, which she always took care of as their big sister.
“Dear, you’re going to be okay, alright? Keep it up!” muttered Nesephise, as she helped the boy, healing his wound in the neck and making him be able to breathe and be healthy once more, although he seemed to be weak.
“Nee-sama… Thank you…” he muttered softly.
Nesephise also regenerated the eyes of the chief, as he told him to grab the kid and run away while the massive Frog Totem, or Frog Spirit, sat down in front of her, glaring down at the trio of gods…
“Totem users are really an annoyance… These random entities of divine origin that randomly pick a “fitting” mortal across the Universe… Thinking they can make it fair for them? Pathetic mortals, if they want it to be fair then work hard and become gods like us…!” roared Laura, gritting her teeth angrily at Nesephise, she was about to attack.
“Calm down…” said Cutthroat, stopping his small friend, as he slowly walked towards Nesephise and admired the Frog Spirit, which lacked pupils and seemed still like a totem itself, yet it emanated a wondrous power from within…
“Nesephise, right? How about joining us? If you join us, we’ll let the people have good lives as slaves, they might even get paid and have the weekend off. And you’ll get profits from it too! You’re a talented girl. You’re meant to be more than just a village girl, right? How about it? you’re not given such an opportunity very so often.” Said Cutthroat.
Nesephise looked at the brown-skinned man, her eyes sharply flashing with bright light.
“Go to hell.”
The frog spirit raised its foot at an incredible speed, crushing Cutthroat into the ground!
BOOOMMM!!!
