Magus: Rise of the Darkness Empress

As the remaining men were just small fries, Elise going all out to kill them was a waste. It was equivalent of using a catapult to kill a fly.

So instead of doing that, Elise came up with a better idea. She wanted to imitate her beloved mistress and vent a little bit of her frustration on these unknown attackers.

As she had already captured the two official knights, there was no need for her to keep the remaining weaker attackers to be alive. They would definitely not have any important information that the official knights were not aware of. So she was planning to kill all of them.

But simply killing them was not good enough. Instead, she wanted to experiment some new moves on them. Just like how her mistress always did.

As for the moves that she was planning to practice, they were not weapon skills. Weiss had given weaponless hand and feet combat extreme importance. So all the knights under her needed to learn some kind of bare handed martial arts technique.

Even Elise was not free from this rule. So even though she had never learned any kind of weaponless martial art all her life, in the last three years, she had gotten quite good at it.

So, there were various moves that she wanted to check out. Some of them were just prototypes that Weiss had just came up with using her incredible brain but had not fine tuned them. Elise wanted to use those moves and try to see if she could somehow fine tuned or improved them or not.

Weiss was always happy when her subordinates were able to improve upon her own work. She was not a jealous or petty person. So Elise wanted to use this method to earn some praise from her beloved mistress.

...

In one of the back entrance of the mansion, two knight apprentices were locked in a life or death combat. Both of them were high level knight apprentices and they practiced knight’s secret art of similar quality. So they were actually almost equally matched.

So it did not look like this battle was going to finishing any time soon as both of the combatants had a similar level of power and skills. But then suddenly someone interfered in this duel.

A goddess like beautiful lady suddenly came in between them and attacked the intruder. She was bare handed but still she managed to slap the sword of the enemy away and then landed a direct palm strike on the chest of the attacker.

With how insanely fast this beautiful lady knight was, there was no way for the person being attacked to dodge or even resist this move. So the open palm of the sexy lady made contact with the chest of the young man and he immediately turned into blood mist.

...

As her first experiment target, Elise choose a young looking high level knight apprentice. It looked like he had practiced some kind of knight’s secret art that boosted vitality. So he was definitely a perfect test subject for her.

As for the move that she was going to practice, it was called ”Destruction Palm”. It sounded very powerful and terrifying, which was actually the truth.

This was a move that Weiss had already fine tuned but it had turned out to become extremely complex.

So, with that in mind, Weiss had ended up making a less complex and less powerful version of this move and she had actually not fine tuned it yet as it was a low priority task.

That was why, Elise wanted to try and see if she was capable of fine tuning it or not. So she was expecting this vitality boosted knight apprentice to survive at least three or four moves from her as she as going to hold back as much as she could.

But the result was completely different from what she was expecting. Even though this version was suppose to be simple and weaker, it was still way too strong. Even with Elise holding back as much as she could, the target of this move still turned into blood mist, so Elise lost the opportunity to do more experiments.

...

In one part of the Garden of this large mansion, a group of four guards were facing off against five intruders. All the people involved in the fight were more less as strong as each other, and that was why with the numbers advantage, the intruders were pushing back and were gaining advantage.

The guards were really praying for some reinforcement to come and assist them. Without that, they would soon be wiped out.

And as if the gods had heard their prayers, a reinforcement really came. And it was also an extremely beautiful and sexy lady that the men had never seen before.

She quickly arrived before one of the five intruders and chopped toward him with her hand. The intruder tried to use the sharp side of his blade to block this attack and damage the hand the lady at the same time but to the astonishment of all the people present, the bare hands of the lady managed to cut through the sword and also the head of the man.

This move was called ”Blade Hand”. It was something that Weiss had created just for fun because it was something that only a grand knight was able to use with Ancient Force.

But it was actually not a powerful move for a grand knight. They had access to much more dangerous offensive methods. So, this move truly was something like a toy.

...

After decapitating the first man, Elise immediately attacked the second man and launched a kick toward him. That man was using a spear and tried to block the kick. But it was useless and he was blown away.

Then he collided with the wall and was almost got buried in it. And with how much he was bleeding from his broken body, it was clear that he was already dead.

This kicking move was called ”Wind Rising Kick” and Elise really really liked it.

The very next moment, she give a spin to her body and used her elbow to smash the head of two other men. This move was called ”Tornedo Strike” and it was a super cool move in Elise’s eyes.

Finally for the last man, she used the Destruction Palm again. She needed to use all these moves multiple times if she wanted to modify, improve and fine tuned them.

Just like that, all five of the intruders were killed in less than a blink of an eyes.
