914 Chapter 886

The wolf leader was sent flying backward while its mouth fell open, and it vomited blood. It crashed on a giant boulder, and the destructive vibrations from the wolf's body transferred to the boulder.

BOOM;

The boulder instantly exploded into dust while the wolf's body followed, exploding into a gory mist.

Sakuya's eyes widened as she was beyond surprised by this outcome. She went silent for a moment before laughing.

''Fufufu! I'm a genius.'' She was elated to have created a new skill. She decided to name this skill dimensional punch temporarily. She combined the Wind and Space elements to create this skill; she teleported wind using the space element into the wolf's body. This sounds pretty simple, but in reality it was really hard to execute; she used her ingenuity to do it.

Sakuya's real goal for creating this skill was not just a punch; she wished for some defensive skill using the space elements. Just imagine if you could transfer your enemy attack to another dimension just as they are about to touch you? Maybe you could transfer them back to them? Would it be cool, right? Yes, it will. And this is what she was trying to create. She had a lot of ideas and would make sure to create the deadliest skill she could create using her brain just by imagining this.

''!"

A chill crawled up her spine as she realized how awesome this skill would be if she were to succeed.

The corners of Sakuya's lips couldn't help but tilt upward.

''Let's get started.'' She mumbled before heading deeper into the forest, searching for more guinea pigs.

Unbeknownst to her, she had just gained a new skill, and it was not even level one; it went past the first level to level 3. [Dimensional Art Level 3]

??????

Demon's continent, inside the abyss forest, also known as the Desolate forest or the Black land. It is thousands of kilometers long forest acting as a natural frontier between the demon's continent and the human continent.

The Desolate Forest was shrouded by darkness. The light from the stars was almost non-existent at this late in the night.

In the forest, the night was far more dangerous than the day.

Dangerous monsters lurked in every corner, looking for prey. Their super-enhanced vision didn't hinder them in the slightest as they proceeded on their hunt. However, a few hours ago, those monsters who sat on top of the food chain were getting slaughtered like cattle, and the one responsible for this was a single human female.

''H-human.... just...why..?" The two-headed mutated ogre mumbled with difficulty as the white-haired girl punched a large hole inside its chest.

The white-haired girl did not answer; she turned heel and departed, not giving the last overlord of this region a level 140 monster. The two-headed mutated ogre could only sigh before its body fell to the ground, and it breathed its last breath, and its eyes were filled with unwillingness. She was damn too strong and a real slaughter queen.

The white-haired girl was none other than Alice; after helping Lilith in her revenge, she left to train and increased her strength. She is her master's weapon, and a good weapon must be sharp and useful; this is only possible when she is strong.

Slowly but surely, she started learning to think by herself and became more and more like a human. She could now feel different emotions, anger, joy, and fear. She didn't wish to be discarded; this started when she reported to her master that she had successfully finished the assigned mission; however, what Alex said made her brain stop working. He said, 'do what you want from now on.'

At first, she felt troubled, but soon this turned into anxiety, then fear. She was someone who had always followed someone else order; to her, following orders was her raison d'être; she was created to carry orders, this was her only way of living, and even after switching owners, this didn't change. Everything she had done before Alex said that was to follow someone's orders.

So, one could imagine her confusion when she was told to do whatever she wanted from now on? What could she do on her own? Nothing she thought, Alice tried to appeal to her master, but unfortunately, he did not allow her to do so. He immediately cut off the communication, and since then, he has been unreachable. Scared Alice, who was thinking she would be discarded, sought Sera, but she didn't help her as she wished even after she told her of her fears. The only thing Sera said was.

''There is a saying: The wise let fear school them yet never fool them, for then they are ever free to learn, to make better choices, to become heroes. You should learn.''

She left after saying those words. Alice meditated on this quote and thought back about everything that happened and finally understood that knowing her master; he must have a goal in mind; it was probably why he did that. There was no way Alex would discard such a valuable piece he would be using forever.

For the first time, Alice used her brain and concluded that her master wished for her to learn, to be able to decide on her own. To learn, desire, and feel emotions because she was more than a tool to him.

From that point onward, Alice learned to make a choice, to decide of her own volition, and her first wish was to increase her strength to be a valuable tool for her master. It was not perfect, but she's learning, which is precisely Alex's intention from the beginning.

It had been almost one day since she started fighting monsters to increase her level. The number of monsters she killed in twenty hours has reached a staggering amount of thousand. She slaughtered monsters as if it was not hard, and there was something she learned besides leveling up, which is she enjoyed this.

Unconsciously the corners of Alice's mouth lifted into a smile, but this smile soon vanished when she felt her presence.
