First Fight

The mighty black magic power has enveloped the small house now occupied by Jonathan, Black Rose, and Nerissa.

Although the black magic was invisible to their eyes, its existence created a feeling that made the three feel extremely sad, even depressed.

Jonathan and Black Rose looked at each other blankly as if his soul was choked.

Meanwhile, Nerissa, who had been very calm, began to sob sadly, and her tears flooded her cheeks. Silently crying.

"No. They're coming." Black Rose whispered in an unusual voice as if frightened.

Jonathan didn't know what the woman meant. All he knows... 'they' mentioned by Black Rose must be dangerous.

Seeing Black Rose's condition still weak and Nerissa looking at him with teary eyes, Jonathan also gained a sudden courage.

Although it was only yesterday that he met the two of them, the sense of wanting to protect them seemed to have been cultivated in his heart long ago.

"Stay here. I'll be back." Jonathan said and then got up to leave the room. Black Rose tightened her embrace on Nerissa.

Her eyes closed while her lips began to move. "Holy Queenie, Queen of The Fairies, allow me to use the secret protection magic. Show me the way."

Black Rose whispered in a low voice.

Jonathan looked at the woman.

A thin black mist billowed from her two hands, hugging Nerissa tightly.

But the black mist was too thin. And in just three seconds... The mist disappeared.

Despite not knowing what was happening, Jonathan was convinced that Black Rose had failed to perform protection magic.

A tear could be seen dripping from the corner of her eyes.

"Stay here and don't make a sound, ok?" ordered Jonathan, firmly convinced that now was the right time for him to use his new powers.

Those feelings of sadness and depression were still there.

That feeling made Jonathan feel a dilemma of constantly changing feelings as if unstable.

He ran out using the house's back door and into a slight shade where he stored items that might be used as weapons.

Jonathan found his golf bag and pulled out one of his golf clubs.

Before he managed to find another more promising object, a voice could be heard calling out to him from the backyard.

"Where is the baby?" A woman's voice sounded hissing like a snake.

Jonathan immediately ran out to see who had come.

Three women now stand in the backyard of his home, very close to his mother's grave.

All three wore beautiful evening dresses and were slightly exposed on the chest and waist.

Although the temperature outside reached two degrees Celsius that day, they didn't look like they were shivering.

The three of them were barefoot, making their beautiful long legs seem to be trying to blend into the ground in the backyard.

And despite not having any clues, Jonathan seemed convinced these three were fairies.

But it was different from Black Rose.

"What do you want? Why did you come here?" asked Jonathan, clutching the golf club.

"We came for the baby." said the woman standing in the middle. She walked over to Jonathan slowly.

"Baby? What do you mean by a baby?" asked Jonathan, trying to stop the time.

The woman seemed to take a deep breath of the surrounding air and then smiled.

Her eyes looked hideous, very far from the definition of beautiful.

Thin blackish veins ran from the ends of her eyes, radiating down the cheeks and ending up in her neck like dead plant roots.

"I can smell the scent. You hide her." The woman hissed while pointing at Jonathan using her index finger.

The nails were very long and pointed, black in color.

"Leuka..." Jonathan called in his mind.

[Yes.]

"How much essence do I need for power analyzer skill?"

[Power Analyzer Skill costs 100 Blood Essence]

The three women in front of Jonathan tilted their heads together as if starting to be suspicious. Jonathan stood where he was doing nothing but looking at them with a sharp look.

They didn't know that Jonathan was in deep thought. Meanwhile, Jonathan had to put it to good use with only 100 Blood Essences left in his bank.

One use of skills means one target.

While in front of him stood three different enemies, and their strengths must be different too.

Jonathan had to choose.

"Give the baby, Morting!" urged the same woman. Jonathan began to realize that from earlier, only one person spoke.

The woman stood in the middle as if to show clearly that she was the leader.

Now Jonathan knew who to choose.

"That woman." He said in his mind.

[Target Locked]

[Power Analyzer Skill used]

[100 Blood Essence consumed]

A thin red mist billowed out of Jonathan's body. However, only he could see it was coming.

Very quickly, the mist moved to envelop the woman Jonathan had chosen.

[Target Power Revealed]

[Name: Unknown]

[Bloodline: Dark Fairy]

[Level: 25 – Tier C]

[Physical Power: 10]

[Magical Power: 25]

[Mythical Power: None]

[Battle Experience: 35]

[Active Skills: Blackthorn Trap]

[Passive Skills: None]

[Power Progression: 55%]

[Note: Blackthorn Trap was a ranged-attack skill. The optimum distance was five meters. Distance lesser than the optimum reduced the damage by 50%]

For the first time, Jonathan knew the information he could get from using the Power Analyzer Skill.

And although the information was less than he expected, at least he knew how his opponent would attack.

"I have to shorten the distance," he whispered to himself.

Ding!

[3 blood essence sources have been found nearby]

"I know. I know." Jonathan said as if he had planned to use the three creatures before him as a food source.

"Give the baby, or I'll finish you off right now, Morting!" hissed the woman, grinning, showing off her extremely pointed and sharp teeth.

Thick saliva dripped from the cracks of his teeth. Unlike the Black Rose, who looked charming, the three fairies' appearance was terrible.

And it made it easier for Jonathan to try out his new powers without being guilty of attacking beautiful creatures.

Dap! Dap! Dap!

Jonathan dashed forward. His movements were swift. Even he was surprised by his impressive speed.

Ding!

[Physical Power Up Triggered: Running]

[Run for 10 km to obtain 10 Physical Power Points]

[Running Progress: 0/10 km]

"What?"

Jonathan was distracted by the notification that popped up, so he didn't realize that the fingers of the woman in front of him had spread like plant roots and shot toward his shoulders.

Slash!

Within a second, it seemed like a gust of wind was warning him... and it made Jonathan reflexively jump to the side and manage to avoid the tip of the black plant root.

Making him only receive a scratch from a thorn growing on its surface.

The scratch was so deep and managed to tear his jumper arm.

Jonathan grimaced.

It was like accidentally cutting off his finger while working in the kitchen. However, he was used to it.

"You prefer the painful way, Morting? Well granted." explained the woman retracting her hand again. Jonathan prepared his golf club.

"Get away from my house, disgusting creature." Jonathan's threat succeeded in making the woman angry.

"Rin, Ran, finish him off!" the woman shouted, giving orders to the other two women.

The two shot quickly toward Jonathan.

Even faster than the blink of an eye.

But once again, that same feeling arose. Jonathan knew which way to jump to dodge as if a gust of wind was whispering to him.

But this time, he didn't just dodge. His two hands violently swung the golf club towards the strong gust of air coming from the front direction. And... Pow! Pow!

The thick sweet aroma made Jonathan land firmly on his feet after successfully hitting the two women strongly.

He made the two decide to retreat while holding his bleeding head.

The blood seemed to arouse thirst in Jonathan's body. Before the attack came again, he darted towards one of the women nearby and grabbed her hand.

With a heart that suddenly beat very fast and canines that extended perfectly, Jonathan was eyeing a part that looked soft but tantalizing. The woman's left chest. Very close to her heart.

[150 drops of poor-quality blood obtained]

[Extracting the blood essence]

[50 drops of blood essence obtained]

Crash!

It happened again.

The woman in Jonathan's arms burned to ashes that vanished in seconds.

"Impossible!" The woman who gave the order to attack screamed in disbelief.
