The supreme sovereign system

Chapter 244 - Io's Adventures



"Boss"

"What?" Said Io.

"Remind us, what was the plan again?"

"We wait here until the thief show himself"

"Boss, we have been waiting for almost five hours, nobody its gonna come…"

"Be patience, sooner or later, it will appear" Said Io.

"Boss, at the very least, can we drink a little bit of our elixir…" Said one of the cats while taking out a small bottle that reeked of Alcohol.

"Not drinking in a mission"

"Big sis! Tell something to boss too!"

"…" Cat four only looked at them and didn't say anything.

Io looked at her, however, she only looked at her for some seconds before turning her gaze towards the vegetables.

"So, boss, while we are waiting, how about you tell us a little bit about your adventures with lord Alfonso" Said Cat three.

"Yeah, yeah, although it must a little bit boring, however, since we have some time to spend…" Said Cat two.

"Boring? It will be awesome if things were boring, at least like that, I will be able to fulfill my duty, however…" Said Io with a little bit of sadness.

"What do you mean, boss?"

Cat four also looked at her with curiosity.

"Its like this, you remember the first time that my lord went to outside Wasteland Valley? Well…"

Io began her small fairy tail about the adventures of Alfonso since she met him, the other cats's expression changed from time to time, from amusement to incredibility to anxiety and finally… to fear.

"To- to think that lord Alfonso was such a scary guy"

"But- but he doesn't look so scary!"

"My lord is amazing indeed" Said Io.

"However, Io, you said that you though against that woman with the huge defense, how did you beat her?"

"Oh, her?" Said Io.

..........................................…

[Going back to the time where Io was fighting Kirin]

"Little girl, if you have more tricks, then use then right now, if not, you might as well kill yourself, it will be less painful" Said Kirin.

"I do have a little bit more tricks" Said Cat one.

With a swift move, she went further and further into the forest.

"A futile struggle" Said Kirin.

Kirin run behind Io; however, it was pretty obvious that she wouldn't catch up because she was slower.

"Good, I have some minutes before she catches" Though Cat one.

"Little girl, don't make things more difficult, I don't want to see more blood, let me finish you quickly, I promise you won't suffer" Said Kirin.

However, nobody answered.

"It's that how you wanna make things, then, don't blame" Said Kirin.

Kirin's body grow until her size was doubled; she was as tall as a three.

"Little girl, if you don't come out, then I will destroy this forest with you" Said Kirin.

She more steps, however, she notices something that make her stop.

"What the- I can't move…" Though Kirin.

She tried to struggled more, however, every time she tried to move her body, she become slower and slower. She felt that something was pressing on her skin, however, because her skin was so hard, the things that held her body were wrapping her.

"Ugh!" Kirin notice that more and more of the things wrapped her body until finally, she couldn't move.

"Strings… this are strings!" Though Kirin.

Indeed, the things that were trapping her were thin transparent strings.

"These strings were made by master, they won't break up with brute force" Said Cat one.

"You!" Said Kirin.

"However, that's not all the surprises" Cat one took out a small bottle from her back.

"What's that… what is this smell?"

"This is a special product from my hometown, it's basically a catalyzer" Said Cat one.

"A catalyzer? A catalyzer for what?" Asked Kirin.

Cat one didn't reply and took what it seems to be a small ball.

She rubbed the ball on a nearby rock and, before too long…

"Fire!?" Said Kirin.

"Bye-bye" Said Cat one.

She put the fire on the string and a road of fire began to go towards Kirin!

"If the fires catch me…" Though Kirin.

*Swooch!*

 Her body suddenly sulk until it was back to her original size, the strings on the air were set on fire and, some of the skin of Kirin was burned.

"I barely escaped" Said Kirin.

Cat one appeared from behind the trees and looked at her.

"That was a close one little girl, however, at the end, you couldn't kill me" Said Kirin.

"My plan wasn't to kill you with that" Said Cat one.

"What?"

Cat one smiled and looked above, Kirin followed her gaze and saw that the strings had ignited the threes!

A huge ring of fire engulfed the two of them and smoke began to make its ways towards the ring.

"*Caught* Caught*"

Kirin breath the toxic smoke and fell to the ground.

"What is this!?" Said Kirin.

"I need to get out from this circle!" Though Kirin.

She tried to walk, however, she noticed that once string was stopping her from walking.

"Fuck me!" Though Kirin.

She, with a quick swift, cut her leg and, with a lot of effort, went out of the ring of fire. However, she was too tired and the smoke had entered her lungs, making her dizzy.

"What a… *Caught* *Caught* suicidal kid, however, she should have died by the smoke by now" Though Kirin.

"I knew it, your skin it's very hard, however, you still need to breath" A voice came to her ears.

"When I cut you the first time, although my knife didn't do anything, I could still fill the blood on you, and, went you become huge, I could heard your breath, that was enough to know that, despite being 'death', your bodies still do the biological process of a living human, by now, your lungs should be at their limits, and, by your own hand, you are bleeding"

Kirin looked up and saw Cat one looking at her with a small mask covering half of her face.

"I *Caught*, you, you still can't kill me" Said Kirin.

"I don't need to" Said Cat one.

She stomped the ground and a pit appeared, eating Kirin.

"Ahh!" Shouted Kirin.

"With this smoke and, without your force, you will slowly die in this ground hole" Said Cat one.

"GET ME OUT! GET ME OUT!" Shouted Kirin.

"Hunt complete" Murmured Cat one.

Cat one looked back at her for some time, before disappearing in the forest.

The shouts of Kirin echoed in the blazing forest for a while before everything turned into silence.

..........................................…

"Wo, woah, boss! You are amazing!" Said Cat three.

"Master though me well" Said Io.

"You- you think your master could teach us?" Suddenly, Cat four spook for the first time.

"I- I don't know, however, I don't really recommend it…" Said Io with a pale face.

""Why?"" Asked the three of them.

"Well…"

Cat one suddenly remembered the times when her master had 'train' her.

..........................................….

"Hunters must adapt to any situation, not matter your environment, you have to find a way to surpass your limits and use the environment to your favor"

"Master, I understand what are you trying to say, however…"

"WHY I AM BEING BURIED ALIVE IN THE SNOW!?"

"You have 5 minutes before the accumulated snow become too heavy to breath, well good luck" Said Artemis while drinking hot water.

"MASTERRRRRRRRR!"

......................................

 "MASTER, WHY I AM BEING BURN ALIVE!?"

"Io, remember, a good hunter always escaped from unfavorable situations.

"MASTERRRRRRRRRR!"

.......................................…..

"Ma-master, I haven't eaten in four days…"

Artemis with a piece of bread on her mouth, looked at Io with her usual cold face.

"Remember Io, a good hunter is never hungry, even in a dessert" Said Artemis.

"Master, how I am gonna find food if I am trapped in this pit!"

"…Well, as my disciple, I know you can figure something"

"MASTERRRRRRRRRR!"

........................................

While remember everything, Io's face turned pale and she could just say.

"If you are tired of live, sure, I can ask her"
