Yumi awoke from her slumber, rising up from her bed. The gothic lolita rose from the covers, allowing them to fall from her body revealing the naked white skin beneath. The gothic lolita had slumbered naked on satin silk sheets, enjoying the feel on her soft youthful skin. The old woman in her new youthful body, not quite new as she had been in it for a number of weeks now, slid off the bed letting her feet touch the floor. The lolita was staying in a reasonable inn in the town of Oak. She had originally been staying in the red light district but later moved up market to a decent neighbourhood. She had grown weary of listening to the drunken brawls at the previous inn she had been staying at. So she moved uptown, sure the rent was higher per night but the gothic lolita cared not for the pricing as long as she was comfortable and did not have to put up with nuisances any longer.

Yumi moved to the bathroom just off the bedroom, she was shower first then head out for the day. Yumi had plans, she needed to improve herself. While the worshipper of Malum had a decent arsenal of offensive spells, two D ranks, two B ranks and an A rank spell she was short on supplementary, buffs and defensive spells. Yumi only possessed a single supplementary spell of D rank and two buffs to enhance her strength but they were only D as well. As for defensive spells she had none she was would be working on that. Her idea was to make a new self buff strength spell to further boost her physical strength, by stacking it with her two current buff spells she could almost double her current strength. She was also planning to make a defensive spell and a new supplementary spell, one that dealt with detection. If she knew when her enemies were approaching or where they were hidden it would give her an advantage over them.

In order to try out her new spell ideas, Yumi had posted a request on the request boards around town. She had made the quest under an alias, Yuni, in order to hire a number of mercenaries to attack her, Yumi. Of course on the quest she called herself, the target, Yu. The quest was for them to try and ambush her, take her down however they wished. Yumi of course, could deal with simple mercenaries so she was no worried. She wasn't going to be paying them either since they would fail in trying to defeat her. Yumi chuckled as she entered the shower letting the hot water run down her body. She soaked her hair letting it sink into her locks as she began shampooing it, making sure to keep her hair silky, shiny and clean. The gothic lolita turned the taps turning the water off and stepped on out.

The gothic lolita grabbed a towel and began to dry herself. Yumi slid the towel over her body getting rid of any water before wrapping it around her body, chest to her knees. Being that she was short and the towel was big it completely covered her. The old woman in her new form grabbed another towel and wrapped her hair up in it before walking to the bathroom counter top. She grabbed a hair dryer and unwrapped her hair. She turned the magical hair dryer on and began to dry her long black locks.

Once her hair was dry she left the bathroom returning to the bedroom. She opened the closet and removed one of her gothic lolita dresses, followed by socks, ribbons and tie. Her boots were already by her bed so she returned to begin changing herself underwear was in the bedside draw. Once she was fully dressed the lolita began leaving her room. Her familiar was already waiting in the kitchen for her. Duskull floated about eating an apple.'

Yumi wouldn't been needing him today so she had told him last night to remain behind to look after the room. Yumi grabbed an apple off the kitchen countertop and took a bite before leaving out the front door shutting it behind her. Yumi's destination was a hill just outside of town. In her request she made she had stated 'Yu' could be found early in the morning atop the hill praying. The hill was surrounded by forest making it the perfect ambush spot.

Yumi departed from the Golden Goose Inn where she had been staying, apple in hand. The gothic lolita took a bite of the juicy fruit and made her way through the streets of Oak. She walked on leisurely as if she had not a care in the world, to be truthful she did not have many. She only cared about power and her Dark Lord Malum. She prayed when she awoke to him, after she ate, in the date and before she went to bed. She prayed whenever she had the chance. Even now as she walked she was prayer, mumbling scripture beneath her breath, "Praise the taker of souls, for he will grant eternal power upon those who seek fortune beneath his symbol. He will thrust damnation upon all those who dare to plunder him of his kingdom of war. Souls taken shall drown for eternity in a river of blood of the fallen." Chanted the gothic lolita in a soft hush tone, with each step a small flow of mana funnelled through her body. Her soul resonated with her dark master, the one who had granted her new life and rebirthed her as a demon of war to bring about eternal damnation for all those who stood in the path of Malum.

Yumi came to a halt at the gates of Oak bringing her hands together for one more silent prayer, "Righteous vengeance shall strike like a swift hammer down upon the Lighted Ones who sought the demise of the Evil One. Thy followers of the Chaotic Being shall enact a bloody crusade dooming the light to a blanket of darkness." Yumi finished as she parted her hands resuming her walk towards the hill. With her prayers said she would wait patiently for the ambush to occur and offer the souls of those foolish enough to take her quest to her beloved God Malum.

Yumi arrived at the top of the hill surrounded by trees and began to wait. She placed herself on her knees in a seiza position, placing her hands atop each knee and started praying silent once more. As she sat in what was only a four-meter radius area she began to focus her magic to a new spell she had been tinkering with, a detection spell. As she was in her meditative prayer state, yumi reached into her magical core and began to bring her magic to the surface. Her muscles twisted in a flex motion as she began to release it slowly out around her. Mana flowed out of her body in waves that moved through the air, onyx black the colour of her hair. Magic flowed out to consume a five meter three area around her. Yumi's brow creased as she continued the flow of mana keeping it up. Mana reflected off trees and animals, signals were reflected back to Yumi giving away the position of each creature as she created a sonar-like system with her own magic, with this she would be able to detect any living beings within a five meter three area around her.

The wave of magic continued to release until it picked up human beings entering the area six in total. The mana reflected back to her alerting her to their presence hiding in the bushes and trees. One directly five meters in front of her hiding in a tree, to his right two meters was another hiding in a bush. To her back two more hiding together one above in a tree the other in a push. Another to her south-west hiding behind a rock. To her east and fifty centimetres north another hiding in a bush. Each was five meters from her position. They didn't know what she was doing with her magic and did not care, they just knew they would be paid.

They seemed to underestimate her as the one in front in a tree decided to attack her by himself, believing her could take the little girl on his own. The moment he dashed towards her Yumi's eyes sprung open and a demonic pressure only he would feel was unleashed upon him. He was much weaker then she and the full force of her demonic pressure combined with a thick killer intent yumi was releasing made him come to a complete halt two meters from her tiny body. The mercenary with brown hair and average build froze and fell to his knees, body sweating and trembling as he looked on with fear.

Yumi slowly began to stand her crimson hues gazing down upon the human scum. The lolita allowed a sweet yet sadistic smirk to grace her features as she stepped towards him, caressing his right cheek with her right hand, "Did you wish to do me harm?" Spoke the lolita in a soft seductive tone as she leant down towards him, allowing him to inhale her scent. Yumi smiled deviously as she flexed her muscles and flicked a wrist. Not only was she trying out a new buff spell but she was stacking her others atop of it. Magic flared around her like flames flowing through her body increasing her strength by nearly seventy percent.

With her strength almost double what it normally was, Yumi grabbed the sides of the mercenaries frightened face with both hands. She was gentle and tender with her touch before she twisted snapping the mercenaries neck with a violent jerk. A loud snap was heard as she broke the spinal pieces in his neck cutting his brain off from the rest of his body, shutting all his organs down within second. Yumi released her hold and kicked the body backwards where it landed on the ground with a small thud, lying their motionless.

Yumi gave a wicked smile as mana flared around her, she began to address the others, "You can come out I know you're there." Barked out the lolita, directing her words to the remaining mercenaries, but they did not budge still thinking they could catch her by surprise.

Yumi gave a soft yawn as she waited for the remaining five to attack her. As she stood there she looked down at the corps spotting a simple sword at the man's waist. Yumi coiled her hands around it after bending down and began drawing the blade. In her bent over state the two mercenaries behind her rushed forward in an attempt to catch her and kill her. Yumi merely smirked and kicked off the ground disappearing in a black blur appearing behind the two mercenaries. They were much slower than her. Once she was behind she gripped the sword and swiped it through the air with her enhanced physical strength, the sword adding to it. Yumi could feel that her strength was double what it was and with a single swing bisected the first of the mercenaries at the waist sending the top half to the ground. The second (third) merc turned around but Yumi lunged thrusting the sword forward, allowing the tip of the blade to pierce up into his forehead and out the top of his head. Yumi tore the blade out and twirled it before flicking her right wrist, flicking the blood off. Yumi planted the sword into the ground.

Yumi continued releasing her mana through the air, as she did the remaining three mercenaries leapt out from their hiding spot forming a triangle around her, one in front of her and two behind. The three mercenaries drew their weapons gripping them tightly before they lunged towards Yumi intending to impale her on their swords. It was time to utilise the third spell idea she had thought up over the last few nights. Yumi shut her eyes and began to reach into her magical core. When she shut her eyes it made the mercenaries think she had given up and was just waiting for death, but she wasn't. Yumi funnelled mana throughout her body, allowing it to flow through all her veins and muscles.

Yumi extended her right arm before she began stretching her fingers out giving a flex of her fingers. Her fingers stretched out into the air as mana swirled out from her body expanding outwards in the shape of a black magical dome. The dome surrounded Yumi's entire body as it extended outwards. As it extended the swords of her foes struck the dome barrier but simply bounced off of it.

Yumi smirked as she began deactivating her new spell allowing it to fall around her. She gripped the blade and tore it from the ground and charged in crossing the distance with the man directly in front of her. She planted her right foot onto his with enough force to cause damage. As he yelled she thrust the sword up into his mouth and out the back of his head. SHe swung the blade slicing a piece of his head clean off letting it fall to the ground as blood sprayed up into the air. A hazy look formed in Yumi's eyes as she released a soft sultry moan from her lips which turned purple. She could feel her body heating up as she brought her left hand up to her heart.

Yumi licked her lips in a seductive manner as she turned to face the remaining two mercenaries. She held the sword and raced forward to kill them. She threw the sword to the man to her right sending it sailing forth catching him off guard as he was not expecting her to do that. The sword lodged into his throat dropping him. Yumi charged the remaining mercenary who turned attempting to run, but Yumi was fasting closing in on him. Her right fist struck the center of his back and a loud cracking was heard as she broke his back with a single blow. As he wailed in pain her right foot struck the back of his right knee forcing the bone out of her knee snapping it. The mercenary cried out loudly as he collapsed to the ground unable to move.

Yumi raised her left foot before bringing it down with brutal force atop his head. The brain shattered beneath her foot. She twisted her foot squishing the brain matter beneath her black gothic boots. Yumi stepped back licking her lips as she felt a desire growing within her. Yumi gulped she needed to go home and relieve the desire inside of her. As a worshipper of Malum when she fought the spirit of her lord flowed through her creating a burning desire to death and destruction, but as a female worshipper her body grew excited with death, it was like an aphrodisiac to them. Her entire body was hot and all she could think about was a release, wanting to experience that euphoric feeling of divine pleasure that came from a battle release.

Yumi rushed home leaving the hill, having left the bodies behind not caring for the deceased. She moved into the golden goose inn, her cheeks a bright red as her breath was hot and heavy. She worked into her room shutting the door, ignoring venom and entered the bedroom to relieve the tension from her being.
