Chapter 12- Gaining an Army!

A 12 year old middle Fighter.

Bastian breathed in deeply. His chest heaved up and down uncontrollably.

"Y-you said you were a student!" Said Bastian as he pointed at V. He felt deeply wronged by what he was seeing. It wasn't the fact that she lied about her cultivation, but the fact that she was so overpowered!

Life is so unfair.

Bastian thought to himself, as he realized what he was seeing. It is said that from the age of 10 to the age of 25, is when one experiences their fastest growth in terms of cultivation. This growth peaks at 18 and at 25 it starts to become much slower.

This girl was 6 years away from her peak and 13 years away from slowing down in terms of growth. Yet she was already stronger that more than at least 95% of the people on the continent. How strong would she become later on?

Man what a monster.

Bastian did not realize that she thought the same of him. Not just because of what he had done earlier, but also because it seemed he could tell cultivation levels.

What a true monster.

Both parties thought the same of each other. The girl at least knew the limits of her strength, so she was the more knowledgeable one. She knew that although she was very talented, her abilities paled to Bastian's potential. The issue was, right then, it was not the time for that.

In the hall, the audience were being entertained. Once the entertainment was over, the duo would be sent to their new masters.

Since V had her cultivation back, she could easily free herself and Bastian. She explained that they should focus on escaping. With her cultivation and skills, no one could stop her, or even catch up. Bastian knew she was right and he nodded. She was about to break his shackles when he moved away.

"What are you doing?" said Bastian.

V thought that was the strangest question she had ever heard.

"Do you want to remain a slave? I have to protect you until you get back to your kingdom. My fate is tied to yours, so I have to escape with you." said V in an annoyed tone. If there is one thing she hated, it was explaining the obvious.

"Why should we leave? You saw that we had an 80 gold coin value put on us. In such a small city no one could possibly afford that. Now that your cultivation is back, we are pretty much invincible for hundreds of miles. Why leave when there is easy prey for the taking." Bastian sneered.

V didn't like the sound of what he had in mind. She tried to explain to him that there were many unknowns, for example, if someone had that much money, odds are they have guards which are up to par. There is a chance that they had an army with them as well.

"Oh please. You are an Inkume. We both know that you're pretty much invincible in your own stage. There is no one at the Fighter level who can match you, not to mention your monstrous talent." said Bastian confident with her skills.

"How do you know that they don't have a Teacher or a Scholar?" This is what V was most fearful of. Although she could easily dispatch multiple Fighters and Acolytes with ease, Masters and Scholars were a whole new level,

Especially Scholars, in the lower and middle sub levels warriors had the advantage over mages because mages needed incantations which require time. In that time, they could easily be dispatched by a warrior of similar, or even less cultivation.
