Rebirth Of The Heroine

Chapter Forty-Two: The end of Zazu

While Mia was fighting against Zazu, she didn't notice that people are all gathered to watch was going between them. It was later that she saw them all gathered at the palace gate, while the slaves that have chosen to follow her and those that have refused were also watching. Although, many of them couldn't see the slaves that were turned invisible by Mia, there were only four people who could see them, Mia and the three demonic creatures.

"What do you want from me?" Mia asked Zazu.

"You!! I want you. I don't know what you did to my Dad but he gave me and my thirty six brothers and sisters a quest to hunt you down and to bring you to him. All for the position of the next kingship role, which I want." Zazu answered.

"hmmph!" Mia scoffed, "How did you find me?"

"Easy, I got you all monitored by the dark orb mirror. And you know something, only I have access to that orb, even my father can't control it. That's how I got to find you, Ahahah!" Zazu said and as he laughed, the force of the lightning kept on getting stronger.

"Thanks for the information." Mia said as she made her way towards Zazu and placed her hands on his body. As soon as she placed her hands on Zazu's body, she activated her new skill called Mana drain skill and immediately, she felt the flow of energy going inside her body, repairing the broken bones and wounds she suffered from the hit of Zazu's Axe.

Before Zazu could do anything, all his energy had already been drained off by Mia and he felt himself aging as he turned into a skeleton. Mia was surprised that the Mana drain skill could do this much. The first time she used it on people, the guards guarding the secret room, it had only drain a little of their energy and left them a bit conscious. But, Mia was wondering whether the skill drains Mana on its own or it works with her mind.

It is a little bit obvious, when she activated her Mana drain on the guards, she didn't have the mind of killing them but on Zazu's case, Mia want him gone, like dead without a trace. Someone like him could easily kill her at any time, with all sort of tracking items and magical powers he possess.

She had plan to drain Zazu's energy using her Mana drain skill and later, she could test out how the Mana kill works by activating it on Zazu, but the Mana drain had already granted her wish as it drained all the energy and life force of Zazu, thereby turning him into a skeleton.

So, In conclusion of her theory, Mia noted that the Mana drain works with what she wishes for. Either for it to drain the life force of the individual to death, or to drain the person a little so he could regain his consciousness back. She just have to think and control what the skill would act on.

But, there was something else that the Mana drain skill had done. After the skill had drained Zazu's Mana, the system gave out a notification that it had drained some points of Mana, but it showed another notification.

Mia didn't have time to check out the new skills because the creatures are planning to escape from the area. As soon as the two other demonic creatures saw that their master had been killed, they decided to escape as they shape shifted into tree demons and a pair of green tree wings sprouted out of their backs. Their bodies are all green while their hands are curvy with sharp claws at the finger side. The swords that they had with them had fallen to the ground while they were shape shifting, so they didn't have any weapons with them. It could also be said that these creatures doesn't use weapons, their sharp claws are what they use to fight and s***h against their opponents.

The people were frightened as they saw the two men transforming into some fearful creatures.

Mia, upon seeing that they are trying to escape, chased after them in hopes of killing them. But, she was only able to catch one out of the two creatures. The other had fly high into the sky and Mia didn't want to shape shift into a dragon in the presence of everyone.

The one she was able to capture was slain by Mia with the creature's very own sword.

After the fight between the two forces ended, the sky became clearer as the dark cloud got cleared out and the sun was shining brightly in the sky.

The people that were outside started banging at the gate of the palace and when the guards saw that they can't control the noise and ramblings of the people, they finally opened the gate for them to enter.

As soon as the people entered through the gate, they all went towards Mia as they bowed to her, saying;

"Long live the Conqueror!!"

"Long live the Conqueror!!" They all shouted.

Mia was surprised on how they had knew that she is the conqueror, she want to ask someone close to her but it will seem absurd to be asking such questions from them. But then, she saw someone she could ask... Ajay. He was still struggling to set himself free from the chains that the guards had used to bind him.

"Can't you guys just let me go!" Ajay shouted and the guard that was beside him, excited upon seeing the conqueror, stared at Ajay wickedly.

"What??" Ajay asked, and he continue speaking, "I'm your master here, how dare you tie me up with chains and stare at me like I'm a slave or criminal to you."

"Point of correction mister, you are not my boss and will never be my boss, AGAIN!" The guard said.

"Are you shouting at me. Even if I'm not your boss anymore, which I am, you don't have the authority to bind and chain me." Ajay said and the guard just ignored him as he saw that the conqueror is approaching their direction.

Mia went towards Ajay that was being binded by the chains and she casted her ice freeze skill to break the chains. Finally, Ajay is free and before the guards could do anything, Mia had already drew him to a side for a discussion.
