Chapter 107 City Lord - Aira

After Yuk went to sleep, Katsumi went on her way toward Shadow Forest.

"Who are you?" Yumie went on guard immediately when she saw Katsumi, even though she knows that she is also a Beast she didn't let her guard down even by one bit.

But instead of answering her question, Katsumi went on ahead and asked Yumie.

"Are you Yumie?"

"How do you know my name?" Yumie went stiff when she heard Katsumi calling her by her name.

'It can't be, I haven't given my name to anyone except for these guys.' Yumie thought as she looked back behind her.

But she quickly calmed down and took a deep breath before facing Katsumi head-on.

"Yes I am, why do you look for me?"

"That's good…. Big Sister!" Katsumi yelled and pounced on Yumie giving her a tight hug. Katsumi does not control her strength, she makes Yumie unable to breathe.

"Let me go, I can't breathe!" Yumie tried to get out of Katsumi's embrace but due to her unbelievable strength and having a much higher rank she cannot escape.

"Oops sorry!" Katsumi let go and bowed her head slightly to apologize.

"It's fine but what do you mean little sister?" Yumie asked with a few deep breaths.

"That's what Mama said, you're my Big Sister."

"Mama?" Yuki asked, but then something clicked in her mind.

"It.. it can't be Y... Yuki rig... right?" Yumie stuttered.

Katsumi finds it cute how Yumie stuttered but still answer mischievously by wrapping her arms around Yumie's body and blowing in her ears before answering.

"Of course, she is the one."

Katsumi's personality is like Yuki's when she was a child, playful and mischievous but at the same time mature.

"Then are you that egg that Mom kept for a long time?" Yumie asked and got out of her hug.

"Yes, that was me." Katsumi said and continued, "If you want we can talk a bit more because Mama is also sleeping in her room because she is tired. What do you say?"

"Gladly," Yumie answered instantly.

"It's settled then, how about your "friends" here," Katsumi asked in a sarcastic tone because she and Yuki have a deep connection. Katsumi was influenced by it and also came to hate Humans.

"They're not my friends," Yumie said.

"Let's go now, I still want to talk to you more," Yumie said.

"I'll be going now." Yumie turns around and waves at them slightly before running into the deeper parts of the Forest.

"See ya," Katsumi added before following Yumie.

All of them were dumbfounded at the scene that they just saw, but none of them talked throughout the entire time when they were walking back to the Adventurers Guild.

Meanwhile, on the City Wall, Alan pulls out a device that can track someone and picked up Yuki's fur that has fallen off when Katsumi pounced on her.

"This is interesting, it's showing that a Fox was the one who is responsible for this," Alan muttered, before taking out a talisman and calling some reinforcements, and also contacting the City Lord on what they should do to Yuki.

Alan then followed the tracker until it lead him to the Sunshine Inn. He then threw out many talismans in the air that covered the entire Inn and before activating it he called the owner and asked for permission to do this.

Of course, since Alan is the second highest ranking official in the City, the owner didn't dare to stop him and simply asked if Alan would compensate for the damages that he would do to which Alan agreed.

He then finally activated the Talisman without Yuki knowing, it was a seal that will not let anyone out inside it but people outside can freely go inside. Because he can see how dangerous might Yuki be he makes sure to use the best Talisman for this.

Moments later a group 8 of Cultivators arrived and asked Alan about it.

"Is this where it's hiding?" One of them asked.

"Oh yes, we just need for the City Lord to come.

Then a frightening pressure suddenly came upon them and a blonde woman in a white dress descended in front of them. When all of them saw the woman they kneeled and said in unison.

"We humbly greet the City Lord!"

"You can rise, now tell me about this crime that you said to me earlier."

"Yes, there was a huge explosion that shook the entire City and I have located the person who is in charge of that," Alan said respectfully.

"Hmmm, I see why you called me here. Looks like this person is pretty strong." The City Lord said.

She just used her Spiritual Sense to see what the damage is and from the residue of Mana in there she can feel that Yuki is strong.

"I'm going to watch for now, if you guys need my help call me." She said before backing away and sitting on a bench leisurely.

Her name is Aria or the others call her Saintess Aria of City Lord, she is in Overseer (Early) Cultivation which is one whole Rank higher than the Essence Lord, this information is in the Second Part of the Manual that Yuki still hasn't read.

The reason also why Ayame divided the Manual is she thought that it would be fun and there is little chance for her to meet one of these powerhouses, but she is proven wrong.

"Oh right remember, there must be no casualties or else all of you will be punished," Aira said as she released a little amount of pressure on them.

"Understood, City Lord!"

All of them then began to release the terrifying pressure of an Essence Lord (Middle) Tier into the building.

Once Yuki felt someone's bloodlust toward her, she immediately woke up and put on guard, and quietly walked outside, but she had just taken the first step she was bombarded with attacks.

Boom!!

Luckily for her, she made it in time and made an Ice Wall as hard as she could and it held up all of the attacks.

When Yuki saw that their attacks were finished, she now released her bloodlust and the building started to freeze at a very fast speed, the surroundings getting colder by the second.

"Now tell me what you want and maybe I'll let you off with your whole body still intact," Yuki asked in a demonic tone, just like back when she killed Fred.
