"Sshh… don't scream so much or your shout will attract the entire neighbourhood," Joanna said as she placed her index finger on her moist lips.
She stared down at the guy now on his knees nursing his broken leg. "I am sure you wouldn't want them to know who beat you up or am I wrong?" There was no form of sympathy in her voice as she spoke.
"Shut the hell up…,"
"If you are looking for someone to shut you up then I am willing to be that person," Joanna cut him short rudely.
She charged forward towards where the guy who just spoke stood.
The guy that was already waiting for this moment advanced towards her also.
He raised his hand to land a punch on Joanna's face but she swiftly moved to the right.
Even though the guy didn't hit her, the passing of his punch was enough for Joanna to know that it was a jaw-breaking punch.
It would have severely damaged any part of her face it landed on if she didn't dodge.
As Joanna battled the three guards, Laura and Adhara watched everything from their hiding place.
They thought they were well-hidden not knowing the alert Joanna had already sensed their presence from the minute they reached the porch.
"She was nothing but a weakling, the world's most useless being; our punching bag. I had imagined this lasting for as long as she lives so how come she can fight well now?" Laura complained seeing just how well Joanna can fight.
She was so dissatisfied with the current outcome and her expression showed it.
"What if she can fight?" Adhara asked with spite.
"Almost everyone in the Kingdom is a good fighter so what makes the fact that she can exchange a few blows special?"
Adhara stared at the girl handling the skilled security guards like they were amateurs while she was the professional.
"Even though she can fight, she is nothing but a useless being without a wolf. She is not a human, a werewolf or a vampire," Adhara said with pride.
"You are right about that mum," Laura's face lit up like she had just recalled something.
"She isn't a human, werewolf or a vampire so that means she is a nobody. Now that I think about it I am beginning to wonder whether Dad is her father like her slutty mother had claimed," Laura said with her shoulders held high.
Hearing them slander her mother made Joanna clasp her fists.
[I am sure if it was the old Joanna who heard this she would have run to the wall and cried her heart out but sorry stepmother, I am not that weak-hearted girl in the past who shed tears at every grievance]
Joanna was distracted and didn't see Adhara give a signal to one of the guards.
The moment the guard received the signal, he shoved his right hand into his black suit and started approaching where Joanna stood.
[Today I will show you what you or any of the other werewolves in the world can ever do. I will show you a tiny bit of what I am capable of to serve as an eye-opener]
Joanna smirked devilishly pretending not to see the guard approaching her.
<An enemy weapon detected>
<Initiating battle mode>
<You have received a new quest>
<Mission: Defeat your opponents>
<Reward: 25 Exp>
The notification box that just appeared made Joanna smile.
[Are these fools even considered opponents? Although the Ancient Forest Of No Return was like another hell on Earth, one thing I love about this place is the opponents there. Fighting them is a thousand times more exciting than fighting these proud fools]
Joanna let her thoughts wander. Even though she was in the middle of a fight, she acted like she was in the middle of a conversation with a group of friends.
She fretted not even in the face of three opponents.
"Let's see who will dare to question me after I end your life today," Adhara muttered underneath her breath.
Her lips curled into an evil grin seeing that the guard was just an arm's reach from Joanna.
The security guard Adhara secretly gave instructions to, took out the dagger underneath his suit when he reached where Joanna stood.
<Shield activated>
The notification came on and a blue holographic barrier surrounded Joanna thereby preventing the guy from thrusting the dagger into Joanna's back.
Joanna, whose back was facing the guy, turned around. She glared at the guy still trying to stab her even though his attempts had failed.
"Do you know what I always do to enemies who sneak up on me?" questioned Joanna, her face deprived of any emotion.
"I normally killed them and not just killed them but…," Joanna said as she raised her left palm in the air.
Her left palm glowed green, taking everyone witnessing this by surprise.
"I always kill them slowly… and do you want to know how I normally do it?" Joanna smirked seeing the guards' bewildered look.
Although it is said that magic existed among them in the past none of the generations alive witnessed it. But they'll read it from history books.
If there really existed vampires or werewolves among them who witnessed the time of magic then it would be very few of them since almost all the elders lost their lives in the greatest battle that occurred years ago.
So she wasn't surprised to see their astonishment because even she had this same look the first day she witnessed what she is capable of.
Not long after, the once tiny glow grew into a sizable green ball.
Joanna sneaked a peep at where Laura and her mother were standing. Just then an evil idea popped into her head.
"Like this," Joanna said, instantly throwing the green ball towards the porch on the first floor.
"What is that?" Laura blurted out. In an instant, she and Adhara disappeared from the porch.
BOOM!
The ball exploded like a bomb as it hits the iron bar of the porch. The explosion shook the entire building.
