Testing

The mysterious woman turned to Perseus and asked quietly

"Are you really a fisherman?"

Perseus let out a laugh and shook his head

The mysterious woman asked again looking at the group of young boys prancing around their caught fish in celebration.

"Are you a caretaker then?"

"no!.... well actually, maybe... kinda?... okay yeah I am one"

Perseus answered finally accepting his job as he looked at the group of kids behind him.

"But I'm a bit more than that"

The mysterious woman looked down at the wooden port

"oh really?"

Perseus opened his mouth. But then a loud voice from the very back of the port could be heard.

"THERE SHE FRICKING IS,"

Perus turned to see an ever so familiar black-cloaked person standing at the end of the port.

You could just barely make out the faint outline of a guy standing there with a gleaming sword in one of his hands. The ocean breeze slowly lifted up the black cloak.

An annoyed expression covered Jason's face as he walked forward.

"Aw screw this, nobodies watching us anyways" He muttered to himself quietly as he gripped the edge of his cloak and ripped it off.

A handsome black-haired face emerged from behind the cloak. The amour on Jason's body glistening in the sunlight. His brown eyes seemed to stare into the soul of the mysterious woman as he started to walk towards them at an increasingly faster pace.

The sword he held at his side gleamed in a deadly light as Jason walked closer and closer.

The ripper enforcers hurried to intercept Jason as he approached the mysterious woman who was simply watching Jason approach her in shock.

The ripper enforcers formed a line in frount of Jason, pulling out knives and other blunt weapons.

Jason gave them a quick glance. About 30 or so of them. He gripped his sword even harder and let out a soft breath.

The ripper gang members attacked first, they ran towards him with their weapons raised up as they charged towards him with yells.

Jason stepped back and swung his sword in two quick successive slashes. An X-shaped white energy blade flew out of his sword launching into the crowd of gang members.

Jason sprinted into the confused crowd of gang members. He let out a huge slash that easily cut down the first few in the frount.

The ripper gang members seemed to be a bit more experienced than what Jason had thought. The moment Jason breached the crowd, they all seemed to surround him and swarm him.

From the corner of his eye, Jason spotted somebody raising up a club. With a quick movement in his right arm, he lifted his sword to block the club.

He briefly let go of the sword and gripped his right fist tight as he punched another gang member in the face as he attempted to hit Jason in the head.

Jason reached out with his left hand catching the sword as it slowly fell and let out a quick slash that created a cresant in the crowd.

He flipped his sword around on his left hand, holding it like a dagger, and threw another slash at the gang members around him. Once the slash reached Jason's right waist, he quickly transferred the sword to his right hand which Jason used to continue the slash.

Jason finished the slash and drew his sword back for a thrust. Some of the ripper enforcers saw it as an opportunity and struck down at Jason with their clubs.

Jason quickly dropped preparing his thrust and whirled around with a roundhouse kick. He caught the clubs on the right side making them colid into each other and even hitting another gang member at the very end while the attacks on the right brushed against Jason's back as he twisted his entire torso for the kick.

With his other foot that was firmly planted on the ground, Jason put energy into it and pushed himself off the ground.

Jason flew up a few dozen feet into the air. He looked at the group of ripper enforcers underneath with a small grin.

What a good place to test his new skill.

Jason put his sword on his waist gripping it tightly with his right hand while his left made sure it was secure.

As Jason's mana depleted at an insane rate, a huge wind started to generate at Jason's sword. Green swirls surrounded his sword as a condensed ball of wind started to gather at his sword.

Jason gritted his teeth as the pressure of the wind started to swirl around. The ball of wind started to rotate, each time letting out blasts of wind that could slice apart rocks.

The rose-red energy that was ever-present around Jason's sword started to mix into the ball of wind generating at Jason's sword.

And finally, with a yell, Jason like he was unsheathing a sword pulled out his sword from the position at his waist.

The ground got closer and closer and the group of ripper enforcers underneath him let out yells for his blood as he slowly fell down.

The ball of wind followed rotating like a literal cyclone. It flew towards the ground.

Jason smiled as he watched it soar towards the ground

It was his new skill

(whirlwind)

The green ball of energy collided with the port in a loud crash almost smashing clean through it. Bits of wood and debris flying around as the whirlwind tore forward towards the group of ripper enforcers.

It moved like the wind, the debris itself cutting into the ripper enforcers before the whirlwind even touched them.

Finally when it did, the blasts of wind it gave off cut clean through anyone it came near blasting the rest off many many meters into the sky.

.....

Jason lightly landed on the wooden port as his skill absolutely destroyed the ripper enforcers. He quickly wiped off a bit of debris that had accumulated on his shoulder and continued to walk through the port. This time with the drop items of all of the ripper gang members on either side of him as blue flakes rose to the sky.

His raven black hair shone as he walked forward. His brown eyes though usually warm looked strict and cold. The warm sun was behind him and the bustling city port, but for some reason, the mysterious woman felt like it was the darkest period of time.

The mysterious woman could only tremble in both fear and awe as Jason walked towards her with a dangerous expression on his face. His sword gleamed in a silver light each footstep sounding like the step of a true warrior.

Jason stopped just a few feet away from her. She couldn't help but think about what would happen to her. Jason pointed his sword towards her. With an annoyed face, he said

"so you're the last one huh?"

The mysterious woman had no idea what was going on. And then she felt the cold prick of a dagger on her neck as a pair of arms wrapped around her.

The last person of the ripper enforcers that had guarded the mysterious woman stood behind her with a dagger at her neck as he said trembling in fear.

"getaway!" he shouted, "you want her to remain alive right?"

Jason couldn't help but let out a small grin, it would seem that the enforcers misunderstood his intentions when he shouted out he was looking for her. He didn't care if she died, in fact, it would help his mission. Jason watched the last ripper enforcer with cold eyes.

The ripper enforcer was terrified. He was just supposed to make sure this woman wasn't doing any funny business, after all, lady Jezebel had given them direct orders to do so, but now this boy... no this monster was tearing through them like paper. Perhaps that person was trying to free this woman from her prison.

A young voice from behind the last ripper enforcer said quietly

"forgot about me huh?"

And everything went black.

Perseus stood above the fallen ripper enforcer holding Arondight as watched the last ripper enforcer turn into flakes.

His blue eyes shining like gems as he held the gleaming golden-white sword in his hand.

He looked up at the mysterious woman and let out a smile as he let out a light chuckle

"perhaps I'm a bit more than a caretaker"
