Chapter 1086 Alexandra's Adventures (2)

A teenage girl with rough, unkempt hair rushed towards Alexandra wearing straw sandals. Her feet hurt as she ran and her lungs seemed to be on the verge of collapse with how hard she was gasping. Alexandra had an emotionless look on her face. It was the early years of her adventures and she wasn't as mature. The girl that appeared to be from some poor background, reached Alexandra and kneeled in front of her. She joined her hands and said with tearful eyes, "Miss, no, warrior that defeated all the masters under the skies, I beg you, I beg you, please eradicate the plague in our village. Many have died and are continuing to die."
Alexandra had no emotional change despite hearing that. Whether people died or lived, it did not matter to her.
The girl kept her head bowed and sobbed uncontrollably.
Alexandra looked at the skies of this world and wondered about her next adventure. She was supposed to leave for another world, but there was no compulsion to do so or any time limit. She was there to get new experiences, and after some thinking, decided that she should go with the flow.
"Okay," said Alexandra. The girl's eyes lit up. She wiped her tears and ran towards Alexandra, holding her hand and saying cheerfully, "This way, warrior!"
Alexandra got dragged by a girl who seemed no older than fifteen and was a bit surprised to find out she was letting her do that. Alexandra wasn't a cold killing machine, she had emotions. The only thing was that her emotions were usually suppressed and nothing fazed her if it wasn't related to her husband. The young girl reached her village and gasped once again for being out of breath by walking fast. She left Alexandra's hand and distanced herself a bit to breathe in fresh air. Alexandra noticed a faint burning sensation on her palms and checking it, saw that there was a patch of minute holes on it. These holes were dark and the flesh around her palm was slowly melting. It stinged and caused some discomfort. Alexandra pointed her other hand's nail at her wrist and cut it off without batting an eye. There was a numb sensation around the slashed area, but it soon vanished as a new palm regenerated in no time. Alexandra then turned to look at the strange girl. She got this strange thing from her, and upon closer look, noticed that the girl had bandages all over arms. Even her palms were covered in it, but had a few gaps here and there, where something dark could be seen. "Come here." Alexandra said with an authoritative tone to the girl. "Eh?" Startled, the girl turned around, and then heaved a sigh in relief when she noticed it was the warrior who called her and not someone else. She walked close to Alexandra and asked, "Yes, warrior?"
"Open your bandages." Alexandra ordered her. These bandages were more like a long piece of cloth wrapped around. The girl had to take them off completely. "What?" The girl was baffled. "Take it off." Alexandra took a step closer and said, her crimson eyes shining sharply. The girl gulped in nervousness and said, "W, warrior, if I do that… you might be… disgusted. You will run away after killing me if I do that…"
"Why will I kill you?" Alexandra asked. She wasn't someone who spoke a lot and was bad at communication when not with Lith. "Umm…" The girl fidgeted, but quickly confessed, "It's disgusting to look at. The thing under the bandage. I have the plague too and these are its symptoms. The warrior mustn't bother with this lowly one."
"Take it off." Alexandra commanded, this time sternly. Her aura was menacing and made the girl gulp and do as asked. The girl undid her bandages and slowly, Alexandra could see thousands of tiny holes spread out all over her arms. They were slowly spreading to her body as well, but the rate was slowly. They hadn't reached her shoulders yet. The minute holes everywhere for sure were disgusting and could make anyone's scalp tingle. In fact, watching her own self made the girl's stomach churn. She felt like puking and was trying hard not to pass out.
Her arms bled and sizzled. They were hurting a lot as each second without any covering, the air passing through these would act as sharp needles. As the girl in front was a human, Alexandra could feel her emotions.
To ease her from her pain, she took a step towards her and slashed her nail at her shoulders, cutting off the arms having the plague.
The girl did not feel anything. The nerves were cut so precisely and swiftly that she did not see anything either.
She continued to stare at Alexandra with a pained expression that she previously had and watched her take a small red vial out from out of nowhere.
Alexandra opened the vial, held the girl's jaw, and forced her to drink it. The girl couldn't resist. She had no arms and couldn't feel them either. By the time she realized her arms had vanished, a new pair of them regrew instantly. All she felt was a tingle at her shoulders for a few seconds and that was it. "How did you get the plague?" Alexandra asked the important question. The girl let out a pained sigh. "I do not know, warrior. This plague suddenly appeared and— huh? Huh!? HUUUUUUH!?!!"
The girl was shocked out of her wits as she noticed both her arms were back to proper health. It took her some time to come to terms with her new reality, and when she did, she kowtowed and sobbed uncontrollably once again, thanking Alexandra for her benevolence.
"Get up." Alexandra did not have time for such meaningless gratitude. "Take me to your village."
She wanted to wrap things up and leave this place. "Yes, warrior!" The girl wiped her eyes once again and took Alexandra to the actual village. They were currently at the periphery of it and no one was around. Walking past huts made from mud and haystacks, on the dusty unpaved ground, Alexandra found herself to have stepped into one of the poorest places she had ever seen.
The village had roughly twenty to thirty such houses and all the people were either sitting by the door or playing weird ancient-looking board games together in small groups. Alexandra's arrival caught everyone's attention. All eyes were soon on her. The girl that brought her felt nervous, but took a deep breath and loudly explained to everyone who this warrior was. Before the crowd could erupt into cheerful noises, Alexandra raised her hand and using her spiritual power, made her voice echo hard enough to make their chests feel heavy. "Be quiet and sit down. I'll inspect you on my own and see what's the problem. If you do not cooperate, I'll kill not only you, but everyone here."
…..
"Wait, why would you say that?"
Lith brought Alexandra out of her flashback and asked. Why would she threaten the already dead villagers?
"Why?" Alexandra tilted her head. "It's because I did not want to see their moving mouths. It was… well… really unsightly. They looked like…"
