I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Chapter 58 Why Are Bandits Bad

?Shaman was resting on Elysia's back as it was rather boring riding on the back of Betty.

"Gosh I wish we had phones in this world, it would make things less boring." Shaman began to think back on her world and came to realize how much of a reliance we have on technology for entertainment.

"What is that?" Elysia knew it was something from the world Shaman came from but had no idea what it could be.

Shaman began to explain what a phone was since she forgot that she was not in her world anymore.

"Wow! That sounds so cool to have such a small thing that is able to do so many things at once, is there anything else?" Elysia began to ask questions about where Shaman came from as it was really interesting to hear all of this technology that was created without magic.

Shaman continued to explain things of her world and even went on about how many stories are written that are just like this place and it is actually a fantasy many people have to be in Shaman's shoes.

"I really can't wait to go to your world if possible. It sounds like such a great place." Elysia was getting excited as it sounded like a very peaceful and wonderful world.

"Trust me you don't, even though we have all this cool technology we are also destroying the earth and there are many corrupt people. If anything I would prefer it if we stay here but I'm still not entirely sure." Shaman did not like thinking about whether she would stay or return home as she enjoyed both but every time she started to think about it she felt like crying.

"Well I guess we can decide when we get there." Elysia felt a little bad for bringing it up as she felt Shaman's hold tighten and could tell it was something she was not ready to talk about.

They continued to ride for a few minutes in silence since it got a little awkward. However the awkwardness did not last long since a mount with a carriage behind it took up the trail and was blocking the path.

Elysia had a feeling it was bandits so She tried her best and redirected Betty around the carriage ignoring them.

They had gone back on track avoiding the carriage and mount and when Shaman turned around she saw a bunch of men staring at them in disbelief and angry faces.

"HAHAHA, they actually were bandits, how stupid are they." Shaman let out a laugh as their setup was predictable and so easy to avoid.

"Well usually people hop out to see what is happening but clearly that did not work out this time hehe~" Elysia was amused by the bandits attempts but due to their lack of organization what they thought was going to be an easy steal turned into an utter failure.

"But damn we don't get the stereotypical scenario where we get surrounded and get saved by our prince charming." Shaman kind of wanted to get caught in the trap as it would have been some exercise since they have been riding for a couple hours now.

"But I thought I was your princess charming." Elysia looked back at Shaman with an innocent look.

"HAHA, I think we are beyond that stage now, we are more like queens than princesses." Shaman shot Elysia a playful smile but was interrupted as shouting could be heard behind them.

They look back and see that the bandits from before are chasing them in their carriage.

"Looks like we get to have some fun after all." Shaman got excited as the boring trip was becoming fun.

"Let's see, how should we toy with them, we could use magic and put down some obstacles and see how they handle it." Shaman began to think of ways to toy with the bandits and make their lives as hard as possible.

"I mean I think the real question is why are they bandits, it is not hard to earn money." Elysia proposed a very valid question.

"I don't know, maybe they were rejected by society or they are mad they did not get the girl they wanted." Shaman now became curious why bandits existed in the first place since from her experience it is not hard to make a living.

"I guess they just wanna be bad because it is what they enjoy?" Elysia and Shaman continued a deep and in depth discussion about the bandits as they slowly caught up to them.

"I guess we should deal with them now." Shaman looked back and glared at them causing some of the bandits to shiver.

Shaman used her water element and placed blockades in front of the mount's legs causing it to slow down and some of the bandits to fly forward due to the sudden stop.

"HAHAHA." Shaman broke out laughing as it was amusing to see the bandits fly through the air even Rea joined in the laughing. Wolfy tried to join but due to his lack of skills and unable to really do anything, he sat there watching the show.

Elysia was too busy trying to get Betty to speed up so they could lose them as it would be a nuisance if they kept following them.

The Bandits kept going, leaving behind the fallen as they could see they were speeding up and could not afford to slow down.

This time Shaman used her fire and shot it at the wheels of the carriage but due to it being more obvious the bandits tried to maneuver around the fireballs that were being sent by Shaman.

Some of the bandits were petrified as one of them was using magic and regretted chasing after them however the leader who had scars all over them did not give up and couldn't care less about the magic.

Shaman continued to throw fireballs at the carriage, eventually hitting one of the wheels. This made it look like wheels of fire which was amusing to watch as the bandits on the carriage began to freak out since they had no way to put out the fire.

The fire slowly spread to the carriage causing the rest of the bandits to jump off. The bandit leader however did not give up and jumped on the mount cutting off the connection to the carriage making it just him and the mount.

"Someone is persistent." Shaman was enjoying herself and was now thinking of a way to stop this stubborn bandit.

'Although I want all the base elements first, maybe I should see if I can change the temperature of the water and get the ice element.' Shaman began to wonder how she would go about getting the variants of the elements and since a slot opened up for another element she was curious to experiment despite wanting the earth element before exploring the other options.

'Screw it, why not, there was no need to wait plus I just need to get to tier 5 so I can unlock another slot.' Shaman really wanted to get the ice element so she discarded the idea of getting earth and started to play around trying to manifest the ice element.

Shaman summoned a water ball in her hand and shaped it into a spear for a base of the ice. After she manifested the shape of a spear she began to try to cool water to freezing. Due to her knowledge from her old world and having a fundamental understanding of how cooling and heating worked she was able to easily imagine the process of cooling water and slowly the water in her hand began to freeze over.

Elysia felt the coldness and did not appreciate the cold and turned around to say something however before she was about to speak she was shocked at what Shaman was doing.

The water spear Shaman manifested was slowly freezing however it was sapping her Mana like crazy due how unrestrained she was using it.

Eventually the spear was created and system notifications went off.

[Ice tier 1 has been learnt]

[Ice spear lvl 1]

[Cost 50Mp (cost may vary due to how big or small the spear is manifested at)]

[a frozen spear that can be thrown and is great at piercing enemies]

Shaman grabbed a hold of the spear and to her surprise it was not cold and rather comfortable.

"Now let's see how strong this spear is." Shaman had a grin on her face and as she looked over to the bandit, she could see the terror on his face as he saw death was fast approaching.

Shaman got ready to throw the spear and used [Sword gale] to enhance the throwing power. Shaman threw the spear and at incredible speed, the [ice spear] cleaved a hole right through it without a problem.

The mount crashed into the ground and so did the bandit leader, however instead of continuing the chase he looked up in horror as he was surprised he was still even alive.
