156 Sigmas Farewell 2 (1/2)

— One month ago, Windy Desert Plateau

Standing next to the dead carcass of a fifth level Vicious Primal Scorpion, Jodye Trill was educating Dessa in the art of death.

”Mr. Ju…I mean my lord,” Dessa Chimes started to call Jodye Jupiter again but caught herself in time, her cheeks flushing red. ”Is it…scary…to kill someone?”

Dessa was visibly nervous about the upcoming war. She was pretty certain that she had slain someone in the previous battles, but it was never down intentionally. She simply defended herself the way she was taught. She wouldn't even glance at opponents after they fell. Noticing this, Jodye decided to be a bit stricter with her warrior training. He couldn't allow his Right-Hand to be afraid of killing.

”You have to steel your heart, Dess,” Jodye Trill placed his heavy hand on Dessa's delicate shoulder. ”We don't murder because it's cool, we do it from the heart. You should never feel regret if you kill someone with your heart set. What is right, what is wrong? The only thing that decides this is whichever side has the most strength!”

Dessa Chimes thought carefully about Jodye's words before responding with melancholy, ”But…isn't there another way? Other than taking someone's life? What if they can still change their ways?”

”Bwahaha…” Dessa was dumbstruck when Jodye Trill started laughing boisterously at her question. He next words struck her hard, ”If you are stronger than those who offend you or plot against you, what would happen to your anyone who knows you that is not stronger if they are allowed to live?”

”This…” Dessa's gaze darkened. Her uncle had often plotted against the family of enemies he didn't dare to confront directly. How many of her fellow-servants were kidnapped daughters or mothers? What manner of disrespect and violation did they suffer? Dessa knew it very well.

”Would they allow you to live if they were stronger than you? What would happen?” Jodye crossed his arms and asked sternly. His crystal blue eyes penetrated into the depths of her soul as she stared at that serious face.

”I understand,” Dessa's eyes now had a fiery determination that Jodye had never seen before. He suddenly felt rather gratified. It seems they just had a breakthrough in her dao heart.

”It's good that you do. Now let's continue with a sixth level Vicious Primal Scorpion.”

— Black Heart City, Outer District

This was technically the first time Dessa Chimes had ever willingly taken a life. Jodye Trill told her for some people this moment is one of the most difficult to surpass in a warrior's life. Thus, they often visited the desert outside of Winter Winds City, slaying local vicious beasts to gain experience. During that time, Dessa became accustomed to killing animals. In her opinion, these scumbags were lower than even animals. Thus, to her shock, she actually felt relief after killing that man. It didn't bother her a bit.

At this moment, Dessa had a sort of strange and serene feeling. It was as if that man disturbed her inner peace, and she could only grasp it once more by removing his head. She reacted before she even considered her actions. However, even now that she watched his headless body falling slowly from the building she didn't feel any disgust.

In fact, one could even say it pleased and excited her to do so.

”Could it be that I am also a psychotic killer? I really hope I don't become a Voodoo Priest…I don't think I would be able to stand that.” Dessa Chimes hid Autumn Saver immediately after killing the scum ball who dared to profane her and used her pure qi to launch herself into the city square below.

In the center of the square, a first-level fiend appeared from a large sphere of voodoo fiend qi floating above the outstretched hands of a handsome young man. The fiend fell in line with a dozen other fiends who surrounded the young man. This young man didn't wear a robe, his chest was bare and covered in voodoo tattoos. He possessed a wild appeal that made others apprehensive. He had white hair and narrow eyes, but Dessa couldn't help but admit he had quite the angular face and his muscular physique looked like the chiseled statue of a hero.This didn't look like a simple foe.

Their eyes locked, and a lust-filled gave heavily scrutinized her body. Staring at this hunky man who wanted her, Dessa actually felt a little excited. Dessa frowned and swiftly looked away, wondering when she had ever started ogling men like this? The Voodoo Priest sneered and didn't place this woman in his eyes as he focused on his task. The laces could play her to death.

The soft impact of her landing didn't fail to attract the attention of the surrounding True Sinner legion protecting the Fiend Hoard Art controller. Ninety-one enemy mystic artists in the square turned their attention to the beautiful red-haired young lady who landed gracefully in their midst like an angel. Unbeknown to Dessa, they were all somewhat charmed due to her unique aura.

”Enemy detected!”

”Squad B, secure Priest Vincent!”

”Enemy? What enemy? This is clearly a fallen gift from our brothers.”

”What a woman!”

The warriors under the second stage glanced at each other once, and all of them started to enclose the perimeter. They wanted to gain some favor with their superiors by taking initiative.

Indeed, the Voodoo Priests present all nodded in approval of their actions. Meanwhile, Dessa Chimes was disgusted. Do these lower-level villains dare to treat her as prey? Dessa didn't find this to be acceptable. The lecherous light in their eyes as they stared at her widening hips and full bosom made Dessa so angry that her astral points flared to life on their own. However, at the fourth level, her astral qi wouldn't serve as much more than a boost for her essence strength, increasing her active battle power to 76 BP.

Her Lord was Jodye Trill! How dare they disrespect the vassal of her lord and savior? Jodye had already told her that as his Right-Hand any offense shown to her could also be considered as offending Jodye himself.

How could she let her master suffer insult?

Autumn Saver felt helpless when listening to Dessa's thoughts on this matter. Ah, women truly change for the man they admire.

”Excuse me, little lady, but I think you're a bit lost. Come, let this daddy show you the way to safety,” one of the voodoo priests exclaimed. This certainly pissed off Dessa Chimes, who immediately decided to kill this priest first. Looking at the black cloaks designed with a hoodlum stealing goods, Dessa Chimes knew that these were not disciples of White Serpent Cove. Actually, she recognized that they were the mystic artists from another guild that used to visit her uncle.

”Black Mettle Guild…” Dessa Chimes' memory and overall cognitive senses had drastically improved and she was able to vaguely remember the name of this group. The priest she just put on her sure-kill list and a dozen other sinners slowly closed in on her while snickering obscenities. ”Their leader looks strong. He probably is a genius disciple of the Black Mettle Guild. Can we beat him?”
