Chapter 44: Testing the Hair Suit
Chapter 44: Testing the Hair Suit
As Thea stood there, watching the incoming wave of goblins, she happily though back to her hunting trips over the past 9 years. She had hunted a lot of beasts and had been in many situations, and here a herd of goblins rushing her provided her a new situation, she had never experienced before yet.
The first to hit her was the pathetic magic, the goblins at the back had casted. The maximum of what they could cast, was water balls or fireballs the size of a head, Thea didn't react to the weak magic but instead waited the last second before the first goblin was in reach.
As all the humans watched her, the first action they saw Thea make was slap the first goblin in the face. It was a normal slap for Thea, but with her strength, the goblins head was blown away and his body was left standing there, headless.
Thea then giggled and used a finger to push the body back, causing it to fall over.
She then walked forward deciding, to try use her covered tails for attacking. As she walked forward, she did a little 360 degree twirl, showing everyone, she had a lot of enjoyment in the current situation.
As she did her twirl, she had used her tails to strike the goblins in the chest, meaning to blast them backwards but something unexpected happened. As her tails almost hit the goblins, the round tip changed into a sharp point which easily penetrated the goblins, the tails were heading for.
Slightly surprised Thea decided to play around with her tails more, as she was piercing the goblins in different ways, she learned that she could extend her tails by 300% of their original length. When she learned this, she thought it would be funny to try something.
She ran to a certain position and struck out her tails in a straight line. When she did this she was left with two goblin kebabs. Some of the goblins struggled a bit as they weren't cleanly pierced but died quickly anyways. Thea giggled at her artwork she had made.
Over the years she had spent in the forest, she gained a love for taking lives of the prey she hunted, Thea knew she had changed in this aspect and accepted it as she needed it in the end to get stronger and live in this world.
After she had made her goblin kebab, there was a single dagger goblin and 4 mage goblins left. They had stopped attacking her and instead, started to run away. Thea didn't give them that chance though, she sprinted close to them and used her two tails to wrap around the goblins, she let them struggle for a bit before she constricted them strongly.
While Thea was crushing the goblins, loud cracks resounding through the now quiet forest she turned to look at the human group. They were now standing in front of the carriage aiming bows and swords at Thea.
Thea was confused at the hostility before a loud sound of a bone cracking, snapped her out of her confusion. She released the goblins, which had been dead for a while already, and walked over to the humans, while deactivating her [Hair Suit].
When the humans saw the beautiful, young girl under the suit, which had caused all the havoc behind her, they stood there staring at her with their mouth open agape.
"Good afternoon gentlemen." Thea said politely, making a curtsy she had been thought by her mother.
When the men heard her greetings and saw her curtsy they recomposed themselves before looking at each other for a second.
"Good afternoon, little miss. Thank you for saving us." The group leader said to Thea, making a clumsy bow.
This action caught Thea's attention. She thought the group was a band of traveling merchants with some lousy defensive skills, but if they were merchants, they would be more proficient in their behavior as it was important for a merchant to leave a good impression.
Thea looked at the group of men again. On first glance they looked like normal men but if you looked for details, you would see tattoos and scars on some of the men.
"If you don't mind me asking What is your occupation?" Thea asked the man taking the position of their leader.
The man grimaced, hearing the question, before he realized he was talking to a 12 year old child.
"Well you see, little miss, we are a group of traveling merchants." The man said while smiling.
'Do they think I'm dumb?' Thea thought to herself before she realized something, 'I am 12 so in the end I guess they think they can convince me with that lousy lie.'
Fed up Thea decided to inspect the man.
