My Adventure Diary of Reincarnating as a Bad Woman

The shadow of the quiet forest remained unmoved and approached Noita silently.

She fixed a sound transmission spell somewhere else to serve as her mouthpiece.

"The battle hasn't even begun yet, so how do you know who will win? Furthermore, you're shrouded in mystery. Your identity, origins, and purpose remain unknown. In your own words, if you surrender, I can guarantee you'll receive normal treatment in the camp. If you resist, I'll break your arms and legs before interrogating you."

The shadow of Jinglin came silently behind Noita. Facing the girl's defenseless back, she swung her hand decisively and hit Noita on the back of the neck.

However, a flame suddenly exploded in front of her, and the flames splashed everywhere, affecting Jinglin Ying's vision. Noita turned around and swung her sword with premeditated intention. The flaming sword gathered the remaining flying fire and slashed towards Jinglin Ying's face.

Her psychic powers allow her to detect nearby hostile units.

The flames crackled, and the heat wave caused Jing Lin Zhi Ying's hair to curl up. The aura of the armor prevented the heat wave from harming Jing Lin Zhi Ying inside.

Between life and death, a smooth force field shield appeared out of thin air, blocking the man and the knife.

However, Noita's sword-swinging speed was astonishingly fast, and the force field shield was on the verge of breaking under the continuous slashing, which only bought the Shadow of Quiet Forest a chance to catch his breath.

This is enough.

The Shadow of Quiet Forest had completed his sword move, seamlessly meeting the Flame Blade when the force field shield shattered.

The frosty air instantly suppressed the momentum of the raging fire. A silver light suddenly appeared from the void and pierced Noita's throat as fast as lightning. The flames exploded and turned into a fire curtain that blocked Jinglin Ying's vision.

By the time the silver light pierced through the fire curtain, Noita had already retreated five steps away.

Because of the attack, the Shadow of Quiet Forest's invisibility spell failed again, and Noita was able to see the Shadow of Quiet Forest's complete appearance.

He was wearing light armor, holding a sharp sword that shone with silver light, his face was hidden by a visor, and his temperament was like the eternal ice on the snowy field.

But she said a lot just now, which was inconsistent with her temperament.

"Miss Halfling, you are quite skilled with the sword. Where did you learn it?"

The Shadow of the Quiet Forest leaned forward to greet her and praised Noita's swordsmanship, but her sharp words made Noita furious.

"Halfling?"

"Isn't it true that only halflings can produce swordsmen of your size?"

Noita lost approximately one-third of her mass during the flesh-shaping ritual, which meant that if she wanted to retain her combat power while also having a complete human appearance, she had to sacrifice her size.

So she really looks like a halfling now, only a little over 1.2 meters tall, which is considered tall among halflings.

"Oh, if you wanted to provoke me, you succeeded." Noita swung her hand, and the flaming knife transformed into a long whip, hooking the distant silver sword towards her. She grasped the sword and spoke word by word, "I have changed my mind. Even if you surrender, I will break your hands and feet."

Without waiting for the Shadow of Quiet Forest to react, Noita rushed straight forward.

[Psychic power gains "anger" enhancement, increasing damage.]

Emotions can affect the intensity of psionic powers.

The sharp sound of swords clashing suddenly rang out, and the piercing vibration echoed in the room.

In an instant, the swords collided dozens of times. Noita suppressed Jinglin's shadow with a fierce attack like a storm. The sword shadows were flickering and the cold light flashed. Jinglin's shadow tried his best to parry Noita's sword and resist her swift and tricky sword moves.

Flames floated on the silver sword, and the red flames derived from the red spring water burned wildly. The spell fire fueled by psychic energy and magic collided with the freezing air of the frost blade to offset each other.

They fought and clashed at such a fast frequency that it was almost impossible to breathe. The trembling of steel formed a dense thin line. The fast-paced and high-frequency battles squeezed the mental and physical strength of both sides, leaving people no time to think about other things.

The raging fire and the icy air reacted violently, exploding into clouds of cold mist and scalding steam that obscured vision.

But neither side was affected. They were completely focused on each other and devoted to the battle.

Noita felt she was in better shape than ever before. This was the most exhilarating moment since she'd awakened from Gaia. Filled with anger and joy, she increased her strength, making her sword moves even faster, denser, and more lethal.

The fierce battle stirred up the debris in the room, tore it into pieces, and the annoying dust flew with the breath and the sword wind.

"hateful."

If you continue like this, you will lose.

Shadow of the Quiet Forest gradually couldn't withstand the attack. Realizing the possibility of losing, she clenched her fists suddenly, and the steam and fog quickly condensed into an ice shield that temporarily hindered Noita's movements.

She stepped back, staring in horror at the figure in the fog.

What on earth is this?

In the fierce battle where she had no time to take care of other things, Jinglin Zhiying tried her best to squeeze out her potential, which made her swordsmanship improve rapidly, but her opponent's swordsmanship was always improved faster than hers, and she had the upper hand.

She knew about the Flesh Shaping Ritual and how any unused materials would be converted into temporary strength to enhance the recipient.

However, the flesh-shaping ritual cannot pass on combat experience, and these sword moves are undoubtedly something the enemy already knows.

What's even more annoying is that due to the height difference, it is very difficult for her to guard against Noita's sword moves, and she may suffer unspeakable injuries if she is not careful.

The Shadow of the Quiet Forest questioned again, "Who are you? Someone in Serkar who can master the Legion Sword Skills to this level cannot be unknown. You are not from Serkar!"

"Indeed not, and thank you for your guidance."

【Basic Swordsmanship lv10】

[Learned Legion Swordsmanship, current Swordsmanship level 3.]

Noita walked out of the ice fog. The flame on the surface of the silver sword had gone out, and the silver plating became tattered due to the constant alternation of hot and cold.

But the sword's center of gravity did not change, and she wielded it quite smoothly.

Unlike the improvement of Shadow of Quiet Forest, Noita's improvement in battle is just reconstruction. In the game, she has rich combat experience and has honed her wrestling skills to an unprecedented level. Today's battle is just for her to relive the happy times in the past.

Ever since she became the Psionic Throne, she has been able to crush her enemies with just her psychic powers, and she hasn't engaged in close combat for a long time.

This sword fight helped her adapt to her body and regain the feeling of fighting. Not only did she upgrade her basic swordsmanship to the maximum, she also practiced the legion swordsmanship again.

Level 3 is the highest level that can be achieved by practicing extraordinary swordsmanship using only sword moves. Further improvement requires the use of magic power.

She raised her head and asked with a calm and innocent look, "Continue?"

"continue!"

The Shadow of the Quiet Forest gritted his teeth and raised his sword, locking his gaze on Noita. Magic power surged, frost covered the ground, and the frost blade was filled with a terrifying and deadly aura.

Realizing that Noita was not an easy enemy to defeat, she started to fight seriously.

Noita recognized the move she was preparing.

——Falling Snow Sword.

A very advanced sword technique, the sword's momentum is like the dense and continuous winter snow, which can destroy all things and frost the earth.

However, this is a skill that can only be fully mastered by high-level professionals. Noita doesn't think that the Shadow of Quiet Forest can learn it all. Perhaps the power will get out of control before completing the last move, and both parties will be finished.

Noita swung his sword and made the same starting posture as Jinglin Shadow. Jinglin Shadow's pupils constricted and he looked at Noita in surprise and suspicion.

They stepped forward at the same time and drew their swords. Their sword moves were dense and continuous. Noita was like the reflection of the shadow of the quiet forest. She accurately predicted her moves and blocked them with the sword moves of the Piaoxue Sword.

Every time a sword attack was blocked, Jinglin Zhiying's heart sank a little. It might be a coincidence once, but the fact that it was blocked every time undoubtedly proved that Noita understood the Piaoxue Sword better than she did.

Who is she! ?

"Your sword is messed up."

Laughter and severe pain appeared together. Noita seized the opportunity when the Shadow of Quiet Forest was distracted, swung the frost blade, and pierced her abdomen with a sword.

However, the wound instantly froze, locking the Alchemy Sword. The Shadow of the Quiet Forest swung the sword to counterattack. Noita let go of the sword, stomped the ground lightly and said, "Earth."

A depression that could accommodate Jinglin Shadow's feet suddenly appeared under her feet. She stepped on empty air and lost her balance, but the Frost Blade continued to move forward.

"wind."

The air below Jinglin Zhiying's hand suddenly condensed, hitting her wrist and slowing down her sword swing.

The eyes of the Shadow of Jinglin condensed, and an invisible spell was cast instantly. Noita suddenly became unable to speak. Neither the vibration of his vocal cords nor the collision of his armor could make a sound.

Silence, the magical skill possessed by the Shadows of the Quiet Forest, can ban all sounds in the area.

Most spellcasters require a verbal component to cast spells, and banning sound means that spellcasters cannot cast spells.

The frozen waves spread from the Frost Blade, and a smug smile appeared under the visor of the Shadow of the Quiet Forest.

The outcome is decided.

But the air walls kept hitting Jinglin Zhiying's hands, knees and waist, affecting her movements and balance and hindering her movements.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Noita blocked the sword-holding arm of Jinglin Shadow. She smashed her elbow, breaking the light armor. Silently, Jinglin Shadow's arm was broken.

The release of psychic skills is only affected by the heart and emotions, language is just an auxiliary word!

A red flame shot out and wrapped around the Frost Blade, temporarily offsetting the freezing fluctuations. The collision between cold and heat caused an explosion, blowing the Frost Blade away. It penetrated the wall and froze everything around it.

Noita hit Jinglin Ying with his elbow again, this time hitting him directly in the chest, smashing the light armor into pieces and causing the steel to pierce into the flesh. The elbow was so powerful that it broke Jinglin Ying's sternum, causing his heart to stop and causing him to faint briefly.

The outcome has been decided.

Noita exhaled softly, she won.

[Defeat the Shadow of the Quiet Forest and gain 4400 experience points.]

[Learned Piaoxue Sword Technique, current Sword Technique Level 3.]

Chapter 6 concludes

Noita lightly kicked the Shadow of Quiet Forest in the waist, and after confirming that the Shadow of Quiet Forest was unable to fight back, she took out several bottles of alchemical potions from her portable waist bag.

The Shadows of the Quiet Forest are the elite troops and confidants of the Council of Elders. In order to reduce accidents during missions, the city of Serkar has equipped each of them with precious alchemical potions in case of emergency.

Most of the Shadows of Quiet Forest have a Mark of Vengeance attached to them, which will be triggered when they die, marking the living unit that killed them or indirectly killed them. Their comrades can sense the marked units in various ways and judge the situation.

After a quick identification, Noita found the healing potion and gave it to Shadow of Quiet Forest to prevent her from really dying.

The healing potion quickly raised Jinglin Zhiying's health. She woke up quickly, but found that her hands and feet were tied tightly with belts and she could not move.

Noita took away all the valuables from the Shadow of Quiet Forest, leaving only her decent armor and lining untouched.

Seeing Noita polishing the frost blade, the Shadow of the Quiet Forest's eyes flickered as he pleaded softly, "The Snowfall Sword is a high-level skill of Serkar. Instructors only teach it to their compatriots. Regardless of which side you belong to now, please do not use it against the Serkar people."

Shadow of the Quiet Forest felt that Noita was a Serkar who had joined foreign forces, and she did not want to see the Piaoxue Sword used on her compatriots.

It was also because Noita did not kill her that she had the misunderstanding that she could negotiate.

But Noita learned this swordsmanship in the game. Once your reputation reaches friendly, you can learn this swordsmanship from the skill instructor. Its effect in the game is to add frost damage to attacks, increase attack speed and dodge rate, and after reaching level 8, you can unlock the "Wither" special effect. The damage is good and very cool, so many people learn it.

Noita is no exception. Who doesn’t like gorgeous special effects?

But now she can't use sword moves, because the additional damage requires magic to take effect, and the game does not provide a magic operation path, which makes Noita confused about this aspect.

However, she was able to suppress the Shadow of Jinglin and defeat him with just her moves.

The Shadow of Quiet Forest's guess was far from Noita's true identity, and Noita felt that this misunderstanding was good.

"That's not up to me. It's up to you." Noita sheathed her sword and stood before the Shadow of the Quiet Forest. She spoke in a tone of instruction, "You're not suited to the Shadow of the Quiet Forest. Winter demands silence, but you talk too much. The path of combat requires decisiveness and a cold heart, yet you constantly avoid my weak spots. Is it my actions against the Bloodlust Cult that confuse you? Or is it my actions in rescuing the guards that make you believe I'm not a villain? You must understand that a temporary appearance could be a disguise and a deception."

"But I am not a good person. You will pay the price for your misjudgment."

Noita stared at her with a smile, and Jinglin Shadow saw pity and compassion in her pupils which were filled with faint red clouds in the night.

What is she going to do?

Jinglin Zhiying had a bad feeling in his heart. They were chatting happily, why did they suddenly start fighting?

Noita raised his sword and swung it down, and the Shadow of Quiet Forest immediately lost consciousness.

She wasn't dead, she was just knocked unconscious.

Noita hummed a cheerful song, frightened the Shadow of the Quiet Forest, and then set off with her waist bag and sword.

Time to find the tunnel leading outside.

Noita took some time to find the correct route as he walked around the complex tunnels.

On the way, she met the guards of the Wind Raven Guard. They were a small team of three advancing in the tunnel, chasing the scattered cultists. Inoita's physical fitness with the buff was able to easily avoid the guards. She found a secret path that had not been discovered yet and followed it to leave the Layered Rock Cave.

At the end of the tunnel was soft mud with a heavy moisture. Noita pushed the mud aside and water poured into the tunnel, covering Noita's white ankles.

Outside was a large pond. Noita pulled a bottle of "Water Breathing" potion from Quiet Forest Shadow's waist bag and drank it, rushing out of the tunnel in one breath. The potion gave her enough endurance to survive without risking discovery and surfacing to breathe. She swam close to the bottom of the pond, following an underground waterway at the bottom.

The underground waterway was dark, making it difficult to detect the passage of time. Noita had to judge how long she had been swimming by the duration of the blood feast.

When there was only half an hour left in the Blood Feast, Noita finally saw a little light. It was a clear spring, reflecting a joyful light.

She swam out of the spring and saw the bright sunshine.

The forest birds chirped, the green leaves covered the sky, and the tits looked curiously at the human who crawled out of the spring, circled and landed on her shoulders, pecking at her short, shiny black hair.

After three hours of underwater diving, you finally reach the mountains east of Serkar City. Within the vast forest, all creatures are free. Your freedom and destiny are in your hands. No prophecy can point to you. The waterway washes away your presence, and the shadow of the quiet forest can no longer track you. You are safe.
