As Kim stepped through the portal, a strange calm took hold of her. This was a feeling she had never felt before, belonging.


    Fighting against the Federal Alliance and trying to kill Sera was something she never truly agreed with. Each kill went against her principles, but she pushed through since it was for the ''greater good''.


    When she joined the Untied Front, she didn''t feel like she was part of them. Her only purpose was completing her goal of getting revenge.


    But as Bran ordered her, she felt like part of the team, part of something bigger and better. She took this opportunity to look into herself, and she liked the person she was changing into.


    The road was still long and hard, but the healing process had already started, and she would be ever grateful for Bran. He saved her from a path that would''ve held nothing like the current satisfaction she felt.


    So when she stepped through the portal and into the goblin horde, she did it with a wide grin.


    Damien and Cassandra also stepped through behind her. The portal then closed, leaving them stranded.


    The tall white-haired man grew in size, until a giant, white saber-tooth tiger stood in his place. The edges of his fur had small frost particles on it, while his eyes stayed its chilling blue color.


    On her other side, Cassandra broke into glass-like shards and disappeared. Kim felt confused for a moment, and it only got worse after she saw the goblins'' reactions.


    They ran around with terrified faces. It was like some deadly creature was chasing them, but in reality, they were running from nothing.


    Or at least Kim saw nothing, but she was a hundred percent certain that Cassandra had conjured something vile to sow chaos.


    The tiger soon ran off too, leaving a simple order for Kim to follow... "Find the Stellar!"


    With a skeptical look on her face, she surveyed the battlefield. There were explosions going off everywhere, and she saw dead goblins flying away from artillery shells.


    For a moment, she breathed in the familiar smell of death, then she opened her emerald green eyes and summoned her swords. She twirled them once and stared out at the approaching horde.


    The goblins were even smaller than her, and she already imagined the amount of tiny jokes she was going to get from the twins and Astrid. The memory of them, of her friends, brought a smile to her face.


    From here she couldn''t quite see where they fought, but she could hear lightning and the loud screams, which marked their movement.


    The first of the goblins approached. It was only five in shitty metal armor and blunt looking weapons.


    Kim took a step forward, and with each of her sword she beheaded a goblin. They tried to block her fast strike, but they were too slow or her sword simply cut through theirs.


    The last three fell within a second, one with a quick stab to the eye, the seconds by dismemberment and the third by disembowelment.


    She didn''t even look at the corpses and just ran on into the mist of the horde. Each goblin she cut down without a fight. Even the Evolved and Ascended didn''t slow her down.


    With a quick move she jumped over several goblins, and landed on an Ascended, piercing his skull with ease.


    From there, she broke into a sprint and cut the legs out of another two goblins. She dodged a spear aimed at her spine, then swiftly cut off the goblin''s hands.


    Kim didn''t want to use a lot of essence in this fight, since she might need it against the Stellar. So, instead of using her petrification, she used her snake body.


    Much faster than the goblin could''ve expected, she moved towards her. The green scaled snake tail was mesmerizing to look at and by the time the female noticed what happened, it was already too late.


    Kim climbed over the female''s large body and, using her snake body, she restricted the goblin''s movement as best as she could.


    The Transcended goblin screamed and shouted in outrage. Then she looked into Kim''s mesmerizing emerald eyes. Their head were only a few centimeters apart, close enough for her hair snakes to smell the fresh meat.


    A couple moved out of her hair and crawled over the goblin''s green face. She wanted to shout again, but a snaked burrowed right into her neck, while another entered and moved down her throat.


    A few more found places to enter, or made their own. The goblin female did not know what to do, and by the time a snake plucked out her eyes, it was already too late.


    She fell over dead in the next second, sending out a shockwave. Her fat jiggled disgustingly.


    One by one, the snakes returned to Kim''s hair, and she left the enormous corpse without taking a second glance.


    She didn''t turn back from her transformation. She just re-summoned her swords and began making her way through the goblin battle lines, searching for their leader.


    Behind her the fighting grew heavier, and on each of her sides, the two Transcended slaughtered.


    On her left Damien''s frost killed everyone in sight, while on her right Cassandra''s illusions caused the goblins to kill each other, or simply die of brain damage.


    Kim''s movement speed increased a lot after she started using her snake body. Her killing speed increased, too. She used her snake body to move low to the ground, and with her swords, she cut legs and torsos in half with ease.


    When someone tried to attack from behind her, she used her long snake tail as a whip and sent the goblins flying.


    As she moved closer to the army''s edge, the number of Ascended increased, which meant she was closing in on the target.


    Sure enough, she soon found him. The tall goblin, close to two meters tall, sat in a throne made of bones, surrounded by about a dozen Transcended females.


    Each sat close to him, or in his lap. They were many shapes and sizes, but most of them were similarly fat as the last one she killed. They were part of his harem.


    They noticed Kim''s approach and with a shout ordered the Ascended to stop attacking. The army let her through without care and she stopped a good twenty meters away from the harem and the Warlord.


    The goblins stared at Kim''s naked body with hunger and desire, but none of them said or done anything. Instead, they looked towards their owner for approval.


    The tall goblin wasn''t as bad as the rest. He could even be called handsome if you ignored the long nose and few imperfections. His hair was long and pure black, while his eyes were an exotic light green.


    He wore a shining armor, like the knights of old and behind her a long slender blade was stuck in the ground.


    These were all surface level examinations though. Just because the outside looked better, the inside was still rotten.


    He looked Kim over once, his eyes full of desire and lust. He spoke a few words to his harem in the goblin language, which caused all of them to snicker and stare at Kim.


    A few of them stood up and began walking towards her, with terrifying grins...
