Her sharp red eyes glared at the men in front of her. She had sharpened herself through many experiences in battle, despite her youthful appearance, she was older than she looked like due to the blood flowing through her veins. She quickly analyzed the situation, dropping the sack of monster corpses in the floor to get ready for battle. She had no staff or wands despite being adept at magic. She only had her fists and legs to fight… oh, and a strong bite.
She analyzed the seven men in front of her, they were not here when she came to the dungeon three hours ago. They had most likely stealthily chased her around and have been patiently waiting for her to walk outside the dungeon to take her down. She didn't knew them, but they spoke about a "boss". She immediately figured it might be one of the many thugs living in the red-light district that wants her dead. After all she was the only person getting in the way of them getting rid of that small orphanage sheltering mostly demon children.
This town only had protection for the nobles, commoners and those below could never count on any soldiers or guards for any type of help, everyone was on their own in here. And no matter how much she could scream, nobody would come to save her… but she had taken down several monsters alone. What was so different from these monsters and this scum?
Well, the monsters were stronger.
"If you don't want me to break your necks move aside, I am pissed today."
"Hoh, she's a bold bitch!"
"We are going to break you good…"
"We'll you our whore, you won't even talk back like that ever again!"
The girl had heard such words countless times through her life already. Thugs loved to threaten young girls about doing terrible things to them, even more terrible than just killing them. She emotionlessly glared at them and raised an eyebrow.
"From where do you come from? Who's your boss?" She wondered, slowly walking straight towards them.
"Oh, she's coming to us?"
"She's really confident in her own strength…"
"But no matter how much I look she's just a tiny girl."
"Yeah…"
"Our boss? Well, you will see him later when we make you into an obedient bitch."
As they stubbornly continued talking nonsense, the girl began to lose her patience.
"How strong do you think you are, big man?" She asked, looking at the man in front of her, the one that was talking the most about making her "a bitch".
"Enough to beat a shitty brat like you senselessly! You're already all out of mana, aren't you? Without magic you aren't nothing but a doll!" Laughed the man, stretching his arms and attempting to grab her. However, she moved faster and directly towards him. Her leg moved upward, hitting straight in the middle between both of his legs. A cracking sound, as if nuts were being shattered resonated through the small alley surrounding the dungeon entrance.
Crack!
"GRYYYAAAAAH!"
The man began to scream oud loud, as the girl jumped at a fast speed, twisting her body, and kicking him in the face strongly, his face was quickly disfigured horrendously, as he fists hit his face several times over, breaking his nose and leaving his eyes bloodied and swollen.
"Uuuaagggh…!"
BAAM!
He fell into the floor, unconscious… and barely alive.
The girl shook off the blood from her hands, as she looked back at the other six men.
"Who's next? I don't have all the night for you losers."
"Y-You damn brat!!!"
The six men left ran straight towards her. Some of them were able to use magic as well, mostly low-tier magic that enhanced their physical strength, covered their skin in a layer of stone, or let them unleash fireballs. They were not the average thugs but had some magic power to them.
But nothing she couldn't beat senseless without her sheer physical strength… and a tail.
She evaded three fireballs coming her way by kneeling in the floor, just before two men with swords rushed to her side, about to stab her. Her eyes glowed bright red in that moment, as her tail emerged out of her torso, as it was wrapped around of it. it was a long, black-colored whip-like tail, with a sharp blade-like end.
SLASH! SLASH!
She intercepted both swords and then swept the two men with the blade-like growth from the tip of her tail, slashing their torsos and making them bleed intensively, dropping in the floor.
"Uuaggh!"
"Aaggh!"
"I forgot to tell you, my tail has venom on it." She said with a smile, her sharp teeth were shown, making the little and inconspicuous girl look even more menacing, it was a terrifying contrast with her beauty.
"Stone Bullet!!!" One of the men that had been preparing an incantation for a few seconds unleashed a barrage of dozens of stone bullets from a magic circle he conjured, each stone could easily crumble when hitting a wall, but he fired them at such a speed that they could still leave a painful wound in someone's body if they were to hit them.
"Don't throw dirt at me, I am already nasty enough after the dungeon…" She sighed, as she moved her tail incredibly swiftly, intercepting each stone bullet and slicing it in half, all while her hands intercepted the other stones without problems, her reflexes and strength were top notch.
"W-Wha…?!" The mage muttered in shock, as the girl pounced towards him, ignoring the other guys trying to attack her. She moved her tail swiftly and pierced the man's neck with it.
"G-Gah…!"
"Good night."
With a loud thud, the man fell into the floor, struggling to breathe as the venom seeping from her tail began to quickly paralyze his nerves, a direct infusion through the neck was lethal, and she knew how to use her strengths better.
"A-A human with a tail?!"
"She's clearly not a human, you idiot!"
"So it was true… the rumors of the blue haired witch being a half-demon… they were true! Y-You damn kid…!"
"Sigh… Now that you know my secret, I can't possibly leave you alive." She sighed.
