The Crown Of The Nine Continents
Chapter 160: The strong woman

A female swordsman who is an expert in healing magic, she is Nivania Zournac. Running at a constant high speed for a long time was no big deal to him, even he could still sustain it for even longer.

Every move for the sake of movement looks so smooth and agile, uneven terrain and tends to be dangerous does not decrease its speed in running at all. Nivania jumps from one building to another to shorten the time it takes to reach her destination.

If that ordinary figure of Nivania seemed gentle and soothing, then she who was now really looked like a knight. His expression was very firm, his two eyes were shining straight without hesitation, and in every move contained the meaning of saving someone.

While making the final jump, Nivania did it in a subtle way so as not to cause any noise. The slender, fragile-looking legs turned out to be strong enough to withstand the weight of his body jumping from a high place and landing on the ground smoothly.

Nvania hides in the shadow of a building while looking back at the sign on Ren's map. After confirming that the sign was really nearby, Nivania then came out as if having no problems.

He walked over with a calm expression while occasionally paying attention to the situation. Upon arriving at the marked location, Nivania found a building with the inscription "Clothing Shop Urls" on the building's identification board.

From whatever angle Nivania looked at it, this was an ordinary clothing store. Some of the items sold inside also looked like low-class items, and there was nothing suspicious in the least.

However, Nivania decided to conduct an investigation first. He chooses to trust Ren as it could be that Vinri's disappearance is indeed related to that clothing store.

KRIEET...

The shop door opened, producing a less pleasant sound. The clothing store entered by Nivania seemed to be in a bad condition.

"Um, excuse me?"

Nivania looked left and right, trying to find whoever was the owner of the clothing store. After a while, a woman appeared from the door to the right of the store.

She was wearing a classy outfit and in good condition. Her appearance was full of style and luxury, almost like she was the owner of this clothing store.

"Ah, a customer?"

The woman looked at Nivania from head to toe, and she gave a slightly astonished word.

"This is a small clothing store, why did Miss come to this place?"

Quickly, Nivania acted as if she was interested in a set of clothes hanging in the corner of the room. He walked up to the clothes in a normal manner, almost feeling like an unflattered natural attitude.

"I saw this dress from the outside. Although it looks a little dull, but the design is very interesting and unique."

The woman then smiled brightly without showing a suspicious expression. He introduced to Nivania where the clothes came from, and how they were never bought.

"What is this dress called? I forgot a little, if not wrong Kae-baya? I don't know, obviously I got this outfit from a merchant of the Great Empire."

Nivania nodded, despite her pretense in attitude, for some reason she was now really interested in this outfit.

"How much is this dress?" ask Nvania.

The woman stiffened a little, in her mind there was a desire to raise the price drastically, he said, but on the other hand he did not want the only person interested in this outfit to leave because the price given was far from the normal price.

"If it were for Miss, maybe I would give you the original price, which is three gold coins."

Nivania was shocked to hear the price was quite fantastic. When compared, then the price is equivalent to high-class clothing that is in other famous clothing stores. Are the three gold coins for the dusty clothes a fair price? Nivania was hesitant.

"What, isn't that a little expensive for a dusty outfit?"

The woman had a troubled expression. After all, the initial capital to buy a set of these clothes was two gold coins, but it was a pity if it did not benefit greatly from a wealthy miss.

But in the end, the woman decided to sell it for a small profit. Even a little but it's better than not selling at all.

"Ha-hahaha, Miss does have good eyes. Alright since it is like that then I will sell it for two gold coins and one silver coin, how about?"

Nivania sighed, and voiced her agreement, "Well, please pack this outfit for me."

"Lucky I have money from Ren. Although I tried to resist before, but it was unexpected that it would be useful at a time like this," Nivania thought inwardly.

Nivania then uses the opportunity as well as possible. He tried to look around to find some suspicious things while the woman serving him was packing the clothes he bought.

"There's nothing strange. Is Ren wrong?"

As Nivania muttered, the woman returned with the clothes she had bought.

"Oh, ah .. thank you. Two gold coins and one silver coin, right?"

Nivania handed over a number of agreed coins. He then intended to get out of the clothing store and thought that nothing was suspicious. But something suddenly happened, from the floor stepped on by Nivania and the woman heard a loud knock and continued.

The woman guarding the shop immediately kicked the floor hard enough, and as Nivania glanced back at him, she smiled in a forced manner.

"Could it?" Nivania regained her suspicions.

Nivania walked out as if unsuspecting or whatever. When the woman walked back into the door on the right, she got a chance to sneak in.

The clothes he had bought were hidden in a narrow street. Without lingering, Nivania re-entered the clothing store in a sedentary manner.

He opened the door to the right of the room, ensured safety, and moved in deeper. There was nothing strange during that time, until one day he saw the previous woman descending the stairs that were likely to go to the basement.

As Nivania's suspicions grew, she continued to follow the woman while making sure that her footsteps and whereabouts were unknown. Once at the end of the stairs, Nivania was greeted by a door made of iron and locked.

The door is rusty and worn out, if forced to open it will cause a very noisy sound, and of course the existence of Nivania will be known to them. Therefore, Nivania could only peek a little from the sidelines of the door that had a few small holes.

Nivania peeked a little, and found a pretty horrible scene where the room behind the door turned out to be quite dark and dirty. More than that there are some iron cages that have wheels and can be moved, and the worst thing is that in the cage there are some women who are locked up.

From here on Nivania's feelings grew more and more worried and anxious. He tried to find Vinri's whereabouts but never found him. So focused was he searching that he forgot that an oddity was happening, and by the time he realized it was too late.

The iron door opened abruptly, and several burly adult men had pointed guns at Nivania. From behind the crowd of adult men appeared the woman who had previously served her purchase.

"Oh, oh, oh ... Miss, you're a good woman. But damn it, you've learned our big secret, let us catch you and silence your mouth forever."

The grown men laughed with excitement. They all saw Nivania as a beautiful woman who was powerless to the point of stirring up a very ferocious lustful desire within them.

Since Nivan was not an item to be sold to the neighboring kingdom, they would not hesitate to damage and kill him cruelly.

"Hey Miss Pretty, let us teach you a lesson. It won't be long, and after that you can rest in peace and experience a painless death."

They talk bullying, their confidence is so high, too, it may be due to the motivating factors that feel themselves sad and scary from appearance so that none of them are able to think clearly.

If they could think clearly, then they would still feel alert regardless of how weak one looked. And if they felt alert then it would be difficult for Nivania to carry out a sneak attack.

SHING! JEREBB!

A sparkling rapier quickly pierced through the chest, and pierced the heart of one of their many. Everyone was instantly speechless, and the remaining burly-muscled adult man shouted full of fury.

"You!!!!"

They charged one by one towards Nivania. Some use large axes, some use small swords, some use morning stars, and some use mace. Each of them brandished a weapon, and prepared to smash it at any time.

The space around the place was very narrow and difficult to move freely. Although Rapier weapons prioritize attack patterns in the form of thrust and can be used in a narrow space, but still the number of enemies is more, and does not rule out the possibility they will use their own friends to be used as a shield.

Nivania ran and made it out of the store. A moment after he came out there was an explosion that made the entire clothing store fall apart. After all, some of the adult men seemed to be furious and destroyed whatever was there to pave their way.

"Luckily, this is a densely populated settlement. The slightest mistake would drag an innocent person!" nivania grumbled a little annoyed.

"My fighting ability is mediocre, and now I have to fight nine grown men who look pretty tough at once. Either can defeat them or not, but since they have committed this very serious crime cannot be allowed!"

Nivania darted, unsheathing her sparkling Rapier and lunging towards the angry crowd of enemies. The men surrounded Nivania simultaneously, creating a circular area and closing the escape route.

One of them moved forward, it was a man with a large axe. A fierce battle ensued, Nivania who moved straight and made a straight attack was confronted by a burly man holding an axe.

A few seconds before hitting it, the burly man swung his axe seriously, intending to repel a straight attack from Nivania. However, Nivania turns out to do that to distract, she immediately stops her attack and changes the direction of the attack towards another point that has not been anticipated.

As a result of the hoax attack, the right leg of the muscular man managed to get stabbed and bleed. The man roared furiously, swinging back his axe to slash at Nivania but managed to be avoided with some effort.

Nivania who jumped back then realized something, that one of them had formidable strength. The man who was stabbed in the right leg also had a hard body, if Nivania did not attack fully fear that the attack would not have any effect.

The impaled man became more serious. He who underestimated Nivania now did not have such feelings anymore. His body shone and emitted a dark and evil red light.

"This is? Berserker mode!" nivania shouted in her heart.

In the blink of an eye, the man on his feet shot out at an abnormal speed. The slightly stunned Nivania was repulsed by a powerful and heavy axe attack.

For him who used Rapier it was certainly very difficult to withstand a direct attack from an axe augmented by Berserker power. After all, this fight would become much more difficult when they all attacked together.

"Tch, hopefully no one in particular sees this."

After saying that Nivania's body emitted a golden yellow light. Everything about him improved in terms of strength, speed, sight, and hearing. This gives rise to something that has the same effect as berserker fashion, but has differences in calmer emotions and clearer thinking.

Those who know call it ... The Aura of Light Blessings.

A skill that improves the user's status drastically. Consuming a certain amount of mana every second, and will end when the person runs out of mana or decides to stop using it. Skill with high difficulty, and is part of the rare Job <>.

One of the adult men who possessed the most formidable strength and the most extensive insight was aware of this ability. He widened his eyes in surprise, then shouted to warn his friends.

"Wine! He is a Saint! All of you, advance together!"

Those who heard it were so shocked, but none of them protested. Each of them started attacking together and using their full strength.

A fight of one against nine was inevitable again. But in terms of combat power, Nivania can rival nine adult men who have combat power equivalent to the Knights of Aulzania.

Attack after attack continued, Nivania with her Rapier continued to attack, defend, and dodge with incredible speed. There was no doubt that Nivania could dodge two attacks coming from two different directions simultaneously.

This proves that his reflexes are in an amazing stage. The men were overwhelmed and a little desperate to beat the one woman they had underestimated before, but a shout reverberated from the same man.

"Continue attacking! How great he must have was his mana limit and stamina!"

"Ohhhhh!!"

As the battle progressed, one by one they were flown by Nivania but rose again a moment later. Because the turnaround continued to cause the attack given by the enemy never stopped, and Nivania inevitably had to continue to defend and attack.

"Damn! What does this woman have?! There should be a limit in using the Aura of Light Blessings! Although which one it has is abundant but why does its stamina seem to not decrease?!" protesting the burly adult men who use the morning star.

A man then backed away to observe the situation. And once again, he was the most formidable and insightful man who used the morning star as a weapon.

The man observed the battlefield, utilizing his companions to observe the strange conditions emanating from Nivania. After a while of observing, he finally understood why Nivania seemed to have unlimited stamina.

During the battle, Nivania apparently used wound recovery magic and stamina continuously when her body condition was in a certain situation. The magic did not drain a lot of mana as the mana in his body would only decrease a little when it was used.

Now Nivania still had half of the mana overall, whereas four of the adult men had been pitifully defeated. They were not killed but were severely injured in the deadly attack by Nivania.

"Want!!!"

The man wearing the morning star returned to the battle. He found no way to defeat Nivania quickly, and hoped that it would be Nivania who would run out of stamina and strength first before him.

Thirty minutes had passed, out of the nine people who fought Nivania there was now one man who was the most formidable. They were facing an exhausted-looking face.

Nivania had run out of mana, and her Aura of Light Blessings status had stopped a moment ago.

A triumphant grin emerged from the enemy side as he still had strength left when compared to Nivania. His physique was so powerful that without the help of recovery magic, he was still able to compensate for Nivania's constantly restored stamina.

Still, it was a shameful victory. Nine people against one, and it took eight casualties to defeat that one person, this was certainly not an easy victory.

"Heh .. heh .. you're lucky bald savage. My mana has run out, if there is some left then your head will be out of place."

Nivania still called for words of contempt even though she was in a bad state. Then from a distance several soldiers of the Kingdom of Aulzania appeared to check the commotion. But it is unfortunate that they were immediately uprooted, and killed at the hands of the bald man holding the morning star.

"Hehehe .. who cares about honor, or shameful victory. In the end, the one who survives will win!!!"

The bald man lunged at high speed. Nivania did not have the strength to retaliate against him, she simply stared hostilely while hoping and asking inwardly.

"I wonder, why is the evil man always bald and burly? Maybe if I had the chance I'd ask them. Oh yes, may the Knights of Aulzania act quickly so that those who are confined are immediately saved. I'm sorry, Ren .. for being so strong-witted and leaving you without saying goodbye."

As a last resort rather than giving up without doing anything, Nivania took a defensive stance. The distance was then shortened in a short time, and a morning star slid towards Nivania's head.

But before it hit Nivania's head, something fell from the sky at a speed resembling light. Something landed right between the two of them and then held the morning star full power by using his bare hands.

"On time. At least, I didn't say "Sorry I'm late" because it's boring" Ren said with a bright smile on Nivania.

Nivania widened her eyes, then smiled in relief as she said, "You're still late, stupid."

His body was not able to withstand the burden, and finally he was sitting limp with a very exhausted condition.

Meanwhile, the man who swung the morning star tried to pull back his weapon but did not succeed. He then took the initiative to let go of his weapon and run away knowing that the person he was dealing with was tough and in his best condition.

"Safety comes first!!!" he shouted while jumping on top of the building.

Ren looked at the man's back in astonishment. He then scratched his head that did not itch because he could not resist the confusion because the man fled so easily.

"Basic loser."

One second was the time it took for Ren to chase after the running man and the sectarian stood before him to head off. Then, Ren flicked his finger at the man's head which instantly made the man's head fall apart, while his remaining headless body was blown very far away like a bullet that shot at high speed.

After killing the man easily, there was a drop of blood on Ren's finger which would make Ren fed up and disgusted. A drop of blood from that criminal was more disgusting than horse dung to him.

"Damn, disgusting!"

Ren took out fire magic from his finger, burned the blood that stuck and washed it with water. After being sure there was not a single speck of blood left he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the matter of one had been cleared up, he decided to go back to meet Nivania. Perhaps, Nivania was a more formidable woman than he thought, didn't she?
