The Lone Dragon

Fatty was drooling all over at the mere sight of Eluraa. Smacking his lips, he approached her slowly and stealthily. He couldn't take his eyes off of her, even for a second. His fingers were itching and his eyes were bloodshot.

But before he could get far, the frost panther sprawled lazily next to Eluraa, noticed the new presence and snorted loudly. Though the panther was tamed, contract bound and friendly, it was extremely loyal and could still bring about a strong aura when needed.

Watching the panther stretch and extend its claws, fatty stopped dead in his tracks. F.u.c.k f.u.c.k f.u.c.k.. Immediately getting frightened, he turned tail and ran back to his home as fast as he could.

He was extremely angry and arrogantly ordered his men to keep track of Eluraa.

Her parents might be simple and poor, but that didn't mean he could easily take advantage of their daughter. After all, there was his father, the village chief, governing with extremely strict rules.

Used to their master's sleazy behaviour, fatty's bodyguards spied on her day and night, and reported back to him for the next couple of months.

After a time consuming and thorough research, he had completely grasped Eluraa's schedule. What a simpleton ! There wasn't much she did. She didn't even take her low grade water affinity seriously. This girl was completely naive and unambitious !

Every month, she regularly visited the village riverfront with her father and cultivated there for the whole day. This was his best chance !

Cultivators were at their weakest when they are meditating. They were completely oblivious to everything else and focussed only on sensing and strengthening their bond with the elementals.

Slapping his t.h.i.g.hs, Fatty resolutely decided that this was the best opportunity he was going to get, to drug and kidnap Eluraa.

But still..... There was a big problem !!!! That f.u.c.k.i.n.g frost panther !

Unfortunately for Eluraa, that didn't stop him for long. How can a measly low grade panther stand in the way of this determined fatso pervert !! He finally came up with a plan to deal with that last obstacle as well.

Soon, it was time for fatty to take action.

Eluraa and her father went to the village boundary as usual and Eluraa started her morning rituals. For some weird reason, she was particularly feeling anxious and ominous that morning.

Not letting her mind wander, she shook the feeling off, calmed her mind, patted the loving panther and started focusing on the ethereal connection she felt. Though her talent seemed to be ordinary, she didn't worry much about it and simply enjoyed the joy of cultivating.

She never cared about those things. She didn't really want to achieve anything heaven defying or ground breaking. All she wanted to do was live her life harmoniously with nature and enjoy the simple things.

In fact, she had been in an ecstatic mood for the last couple of days. She and her father had planned a small hunting trip for the upcoming week and this would be her very first trip after obtaining the hunter license.

Even if they don't end up successfully taming any new beasts, at the least she might get to interact with some of them.

With all these pleasant thoughts playfully distracting her, she had a smile on her lips, and cultivated silently. Ignorant of the hell that day would become, she cheerfully continued enjoying the sensation of the elemental connection.

Time trickled by and soon fatty and his men slowly encircled her and the panther. Her father was at a distance, so they completely ignored him.

Fatty first ordered two of his men to distract the panther and draw it away from Eluraa.

This task was given to Reshan, the family's oldest bodyguard. He was a strong and skilled hunter, boasting a few successful contracted magical creatures, including the mountain lion.

Sighing, Reshan skilfully drew the panther away, leaving Eluraa unguarded.

In truth, Reshan was extremely embarrassed to carry out this mission. But he knew his young master and he was indebted to his family, so he had no other choice. Poor girl.. He sighed.

Gleefully, Fatty slowly approached the enchanting beauty, already salivating and dreaming about ravishing her to his heart's content.

Eluraa suddenly sensed danger and snapped open her eyes. She couldn't get her heart to calm down that morning and hadn't fully entered the meditative state. So she was able to sense the disturbance near her.

With her stunning crescent eyes, she stared at fatty and his men in confusion.

Without wasting anymore time, Fatty immediately ordered his men to capture her and hold her down. Eluraa was stunned for a second, but then quickly realized what was happening.

The perverted fatty and his legend was well known throughout the village. She was already very wary of this guy and had heard rumours about the few missing women from the village.

She panicked and started running and calling out for the frost panther and her dad.

But alas..

Before long, two sturdy men blocked her path and she saw the corpse of her beloved panther.

Eluraa was shocked to her very core. Her mind was reeling and the gravity of the situation fully dawned on her.

She almost lost her consciousness and with her last bits of strength, she threw a hail mary and tried to cast a freezing spell.

A freezing spell is a low grade water affinity spell, which freezes the targets in front of the caster momentarily. This might just get her enough time to call her father for some help.

As a water elemental cultivator, she had previously tried numerous times to summon her spiritual connection and cast this spell, but had never once succeeded before.

But in this very grave situation, it looked like she finally had a chance and was able to bring out her full potential and cast the freezing spell with all her mana core strength.
