The Legacy System

The moment she heard those whooshing sounds she felt like she was hearing her death sounds, as different moments of her life until now started appearing in front of her eyes.

This time she was done for sure, as the one who brought her here, and the only one that could save her wasn\'t by her side anymore.

She had no other choice but to face her fate alone, there was nothing she could do about it. She possessed neither the strength nor the way to be able to escape this situation.

The truth was that her level 30 strength, dexterity, agility, and speed weren\'t bad, but the problem was that at the moment she was in her primary state.

Not only was her head muddled, but she didn\'t even understand where she was standing and which side she should escape.

It was quite the situation, but her surviving instinct easily took charge of her body, as she instinctively made a step to her left.

Even though she used every dreg of strength and potential inside her, she still didn\'t manage to completely escape the danger.

3 big iron needles managed to graze her hand, and her leg, while one entered through her left hand, and one through her left foot.

"Aaahhhh~!"

Even if she didn\'t want to, as her body was still acting on instinct it had to find a way to release the stress, and pain coming from the wounds, so she couldn\'t help but scream.

There was even a danger of tears coming from the side of her eyes, as she didn\'t know how to exactly feel and act at this moment.

Normally such a wound wouldn\'t be much of a problem for her, as she had been through worse, but at that moment she didn\'t understand why she felt like she was extremely pitiful and injured.

It wasn\'t about her injured hand and injured foot, but an injury that she was unable to see, and the frustration and stress accompanying that injury.

But before she could even think more about the situation a few small lights started appearing suddenly inside the tunnel, and she could hear footsteps coming towards her.

If it were the footsteps of a single person, she might have thought that it was just Eric running towards her, thinking that something might have happened to her.

But the sound and noise of those steps weren\'t coming from one person only, it was more than one. As a matter of fact, that was just an extremely light generalization.

The truth was that Ren Jia could distinguish at least more than 10 different step noises coming towards her, meaning that there were more than 10 people coming towards her.

She didn\'t know what was going on, and she didn\'t even understand where she was at that moment.

The only one who had an idea about this place was Eric, but he seemed to have fully disappeared at that moment, making her feel even more hopeless about her current situation.

She had no idea whether those guys coming towards her had good or bad intentions, and she wasn\'t in the position to run away from them either.

Those two 20 centimeters long, and 2 cm in diameter iron needles were still stuck through her left hand and left foot.

The pain coming from them wasn\'t small either, as she needed a lot of mental strength, and inner strength to resist that damn pain already.

It was really difficult for her to even take a step from where she was standing and looking at the speed of those steps coming towards her, she had no way of escaping them.

She could only stay there, wait, and hope that those guys running towards her were coming in good faith, that was all she could do at that moment.

In no time she was able to see many lights converging in the dark and running towards her while becoming stronger, and brighter with each step.

The more they approached the more she was able to \'see\' in that darkness, and when they were less than 20 meters in front of her, she finally managed to catch a glimpse of what was coming towards her.

Samurai! They were true Samurai! Dressed in their typical outfits, and their typical katanas\' they were running towards her, like a small army, or a small team in the army.

Their leader was in front of the team and clearly seemed to possess more strength, and fighting prowess, making him look even more dangerous.

What made the whole situation even weirder, and complex for her besides the fact that these guys seemed to emit killing intent, and were running with killing intent, was that they were all made of stone.

None of them was human, they were all puppets made of stone or some other stone-like material that she had never seen before.

Yet they were able to run towards her just like normal human experts, emitting killing intent, and clearly wishing to chop her into small pieces.

This was the first time she was witnessing something like this, she had never imagined that such ridiculous or impossible things existed on Earth.

Even though she was practicing Martial Arts and had quite the achievement in her own Martial Arts, possessing great strength, and features, she still didn\'t imagine that magic or something alike truly existed.

Besides magic, or something similar what would make these stone statues able to run like human Samurai, and exert that killing intent, and those moves.

Furthermore, each of those stone Samurai\'s looked like it was at least 3 times stronger than her, making her feel quite weird inside.

If earlier when she activated that trap, and those stone needles rushed towards her she still had a chance to escape by sacrificing her left hand, and left foot, right now she knew she was dead.

Ignoring her current injured condition, even if she was in perfect health, and perfect state, she still felt that she was a goner at that moment.

As she was thinking like that, the stone Samurai\'s had already reached in front of her, as the leader in front of them unsheathed his katana without asking or saying anything and attacked her.

His movements were extremely fluid and didn\'t look like he was a stone Samurai at all, in fact, he looked like he was a strong powerhouse, aiming for a seckill.

At that moment the only thought recurring on Ren Jia\'s head was Eric\'s last words, and she couldn\'t help but think, would he save her if she acknowledged him as her Master?

Her death was in front of her eyes, and she had lost almost every other hope but that, so she had nothing to lose. So, she decided to try it out,

"Master, please save me!"

The moment she said that she closed her eyes and decided to wait for death. Now that she had said those last words, she had nothing more to think about, as she could only wait for death to take her.

\'Swish, Clang!\'

Right as she was thinking that death was on her doorstep, she felt something swish by her side, and then a metal clanging sound, like two weapons clashing against one another.

As soon as she heard those two sounds, her eyelids trembled, and she opened them to see what was happening in front of her.

Before her eyes could adjust to the sudden change and look at what was happening in front of her, a strong arm wrapped around over her belly, and under her melons, and pulled her towards a direction.

It took her a while to understand what was going on with her, but she eventually did. She was being carried away by Eric, as he was running towards the direction that they came here from.

It seemed like Eric had no intention of fighting with those guys, as he was putting every dreg of his energy into escaping.

Her melons were bouncing on his arm, but she didn\'t feel as repelled as before at this moment. After all, he was saving her life.

Even though this was the third time he was saving her life, this time she was fully convinced that without him she would be dead.

It is truly difficult to understand how sometimes people get instantaneous enlightenment, and they change completely.

That was what happened with Ren Jia at that moment, Eric had given her a new life just as she had finally given up and resigned from it.

Even in the most perilous and deadly situation, he had still managed to rip her from the claws of her death and give her back her life and hope.

It was precisely at that moment that she fully gave in to him, and she decided to wholeheartedly accept him as her Master.

Every human being has a switch, a hidden mechanism that once you find and are able to trigger, then you will be able to gain its full loyalty, in body, mind, and soul.

For Takeshiba Aika it was the first man that was able to dominate her and press her down, while for Ren Jia it was a man who was able to rip her from the claws of death and give her a second life.

Eric clearly had no idea what was going through Ren Jia\'s mind at that moment, as he didn\'t have time to look at her.

It was taking him everything he had, everything he possessed to run and escape those stone Samurai\'s that were following him step by step.

It was his good luck that his appearance was sudden, and he was able to block their leader\'s attack swiftly, grab Ren Jia as fast as he could, and then run with everything he had.

If he was alone perhaps, he wouldn\'t be in such a miserable state, being only five feet ahead, but he wouldn\'t throw Ren Jia either.

At that moment…
