Shadow Slave
Chapter 1708
Rain had taken off her winter coat, her light armor, and even her military jacket, leaving only the henley and the wool vest on. No amount of armor was going to protect her from the Awakened Demon, so she wanted her movements to be as agile and unobstructed as possible. It seemed a little poetic, as if she was proclaiming that there would be no retreat, only victory… or death.
It was also a bit funny. Awakened warriors were often shown preparing mentally for battle while donning their armor, but she was doing the same while taking it off. Such was the pitiful life of a mundane hunter.
The preparations had long been complete, the traps were laid. All Rain had to do was venture into the depths of the forest and face the demon.
Taking a deep breath, she went through a series of stretching exercises. She had always been nimble, but after years of training under the sinister shadow, her flexible body was like that of a snake… no, a gymnast. A very graceful, limber gymnast! That was a much better mental image.
Still, she had to be careful when going all out. Her mundane flesh was lagging behind her skill and training, so it was easy to damage.
«What are you, a ballerina?»
Rain glared at her teacher silently.
«Didn't you once tell me that you're the best dancer in the world… two worlds, even? So who's the ballerina?»
He coughed.
«Well, uh… if your teacher said it, then it's true! There was this one time I danced with a princess at a ball, and immediately after, she dragged me into a private room. No, wait… or was it me who dragged her into a private room? In any case, the two of us ended up in a private room!»
Her teacher smiled wistfully.
«And let me tell you, what happened in that room… ah, it was nothing short of life-changing…»
Rain stared at him for a moment, then pretended to be sick.
«Old pervert…»
He was offended.
No, wait, who are you calling a
