Fenrir's Journey : I Shall Devour The Heavens!

Like a midnight blue phantom, Fenrir dashed across the skies of Heavenly Moon City with the Flame Jade Sect as her goal. Though the City was much larger than the one from her previous world, it only took a few short minutes for Fenrir to reach her destination, standing high above the massive compound with her scarlet eyes reflecting the image of various people below. Because of the differences in her energy, nobody had even reacted to her arrival at first, giving her a short period of time to think about the actions she would take.Fenrir was afraid she was getting too used to the idea of slaughtering people, something she knew her Master would often try to avoid. This time, she decided to reign in her anger and try to keep her mind calm, crippling anyone who stood in her way unless they seemed like monstrous people. She knew that, if a severe enough blow was dealt to their overall strength, other groups would step in to finish the job or, as was likely to be the case, the crippled members would flee. Fenrir wondered if, by living without their Cultivation, the people that had once considered themselves above everyone would become more humble...After a few minutes, a group of people had come out from the interior of the Manor and jumped up to the sky to meet her. Leading the group of five, there was an elderly man with white hair and a long beard, both extending to his waist. Fenrir could sense he was even stronger than the woman she had fought at the Fen clan and wondered if he was their leader. When he gave a polite salute and asked, "Please, Young Miss, tell this Old Huo Yan Er what he could do for you. What brings you to our Flame Jade Sect today...?"Snorting, Fenrir wasn't willing to play games with the old man who smelled like he had been spending the last few years bathing in medicinal herbs. With a cold expression on her face, she turned her gaze over each of the five men, stating, "First, one of your members tried to drug and kidnap me in the middle of the night, even though I had never done anything to earn the ire of your Sect. Then, after I killed the fool for his attempt, another one of your members deigned to believe he could teach me a lesson while trying to steal what was mine. I gave them the option to back down and, as they had refused to listen to reason, I am here to make good on my promise..."Forming a long and thin blade with her index finger, Fenrir focused her eyes on the elderly man in front and continued, "Since he had come to me seeking a reckoning, I am here at the Flame Jade Sect to seek one for myself. I have already destroyed the Fen Clan for harboring ill intentions towards me...now, you have the option of choosing if you will follow in their footsteps..." Towards the end of her words, Fenrir had moved forward with [Shundo] in an instant, cutting off the arm of one of the men who had tried to draw his sword. All five of them, including the man who just lost his arm, widened their eyes in shock as they saw her almost instantly move back into her initial position, the entire action taking less than .04 seconds to perform...(Fenrir's Commentary: 'Maybe I shouldn't be killing them so easily...perhaps it will be better for them to suffer, just as they had forced others to suffer...')

Having been unable to even follow the movements of the young girl in front of them, Huo Yan Er knew he would be inviting a tragedy unto his Sect if he antagonized her. They had already heard the reports of someone wiping out the Fen Clan and, as it was likely related to the person who killed his nephew, Huo Yan Er had allowed his brother to go investigate. The fact that she was here, while none of their members had returned, meant that his younger brother was likely dead. However, though he would have normally sought vengeance, Huo Yan Er knew what kind of person his nephew was and it wasn't worth sacrificing their Sect trying to avenge the father-son pair of fools...Lowering his head in a subservient manner, Huo Yan Er deferentially stated, "Forgive us, Senior, but it was never our intention to seek trouble with you. Though you have the right to redress the offenses that were brought upon you, please do not direct your anger towards the innocent. If it would please you, allow us to compensate you for your troubles...I believe we would both benefit from a mutual friendship..." With their Second Elder bowing, the other four men also bowed, even the one who was desperately using his energy to keep blood from squirting freely from his arm.Fenrir snorted but didn't take any action to bring harm to the men, realizing they had already given up the fight before it even began. She didn't want to be the type to bully the weak and, unless they offended her, Fenrir didn't want to kill people arbitrarily. Instead, she pointed to the jade rings on each of their fingers and said, "I will take those rings as compensation. Since I would have taken them from your corpses anyways, it shouldn't cause you any significant loss to part with them willingly..."Huo Yan Er felt like he was going to choke on his own blood when he heard the young woman's words. The majority of his personal wealth and collection was contained within his interspatial ring, much like most cultivators. However, knowing there was truth in the woman's words, Huo Yan Er begrudgingly took off his ring and tossed it over, prompting the other four men to follow suit. When one of his friends was going to help the one-armed man remove his ring, Fenrir furrowed her brows slightly and said, "You have already paid the price...keep your ring..."This small mercy that she had given them came as a surprise to all five of the men, including Huo Yan Er. He realized that the girl before him wasn't actually a ruthless and domineering expert, but someone that their Clan had likely wronged unjustly. Now, instead of feeling grief towards the loss of his brother and nephew, Huo Yan Er was cursing them for offending someone they likely would have been able to befriend. Having such a young expert on their side would have been able to elevate their entire Sect to a higher status. Now, however, he had to part with more than a century's worth of accumulated wealth to pay off the debts of a dead man...(Fenrir's Commentary: 'Hmph...it seems there are some smart people in this world...')

After taking in a deep breath and thinking for a few seconds, Fenrir opened her glowing scarlet eyes, unnerving the people before her in the process. Repeating back the same words, albeit modifying them for her use, Fenrir icily stated, "You have three minutes to leave this place. This is your last warning. If you do not listen, I will cut off all of your hands and feet and make you watch as I hunt down your Clan..." Though part of Fenrir's mind was telling her not to take such extreme action, she was very quickly growing tired of dealing with people like this. She didn't understand how a world could produce so many despicable people, as it seemed like every male Cultivator was her 'enemy' at this point...As if they had just heard the most ridiculous and entertaining joke in the world, nearly half the group began laughing. Those that had looked directly into Fenrir's eyes had hesitated for a short moment but, after hearing their companions laugh, they quickly joined in. Even Huo Yan San released a light chuckle before unsheathing his sword and saying, "It looks like this Old San will have to educate you in place of your Master. Know this, girl, there are always mountains beyond mountains and heavens higher than Heaven. You have become very strong for someone so young but, with that arrogance of yours, you are nothing more than a frog in a well..."Fenrir felt like something inside of her brain 'snapped' as she heard the man's words, making it impossible for her to even form thoughts. She had never, in two different worlds, encountered someone as foolish as the person in front of her. However, it wasn't his ignorance that had 'broken' her, but the fact that he believed he was in a position to lecture her. In her entire life, the only people whose words had any weight were her Master's, and her Master's Master, Eva. Having learned from them, Fenrir simply couldn't believe someone had the audacity to try and 'educate' her, especially when he couldn't even qualify as a frog...he was more like an amoeba...Disregarding her previous words, Fenrir turned into a midnight blue blur before 'vanishing' from the sight of all thirty-one men, including the one who had referred to himself as 'Old San'. This unbelievable speed made the latter try to form a trail of flames with his sword but, long before he was able to swing his hand in an arc, all the muscles in his body had stopped communicating with his brain. Then, before he could even open his eyes wide in shock, Huo Yan San felt an unbelievably fierce cold begin to spread through his body. It seemed to have taken less time than a thought for it to completely encase his entire being, freezing him solid as he began careening towards the earth below, thirty human-shaped snowflakes trailing behind him...Fenrir watched with cold eyes as they all smashed into ground below, shattering into small pieces that would take hours to thaw. For a short moment, Fenrir watched as life slowly faded from their eyes and, similar to what her Master always did, she gave them a small moment of silence before looking away. Then, without sparing them another glance, Fenrir followed their scent in reverse, tracing it back to the Flame Jade Sect, the second bunch of fools who had triggered her hatred in a single day. If they were anything like the group of fools, Fenrir would slaughter them, just like the members of the Fen Clan who had harbored intentions about her body...(Fenrir's Commentary: 'Single-celled organism...brainless...stupid...!')
