****(POV)

Just what did I do?!

Because of me both Wolfie and her human went headfirst into the jaws of death itself!

The worst is she might not realize it soon enough to protect themselves. We unicorns are especially sensitive to evil. She might be able to figure out the dangers if she actively activates her divination abilities, but otherwise, this means trouble!

I won't ever forget myself if she ends up dying because of me. After all, we are old comrades. More like I was the one always looking up to her. She used to be one of the core guardians after all.

I was but a puny existence compared to her. I still remember how she congratulated me upon reaching rank 5. She, that unreachable rank 8 lady took notice of my existence. That was the best day of my life.

And now I perhaps caused her very demise. I trust her wisdom and strength, but reincarnating did set her so far behind. This is really bad!

Think calmly. What are my options?

I don't actually have any. The earliest I can open the portal again is in a week. In the meantime, I am a sitting horse here. Or was it sitting duck? Never understood human expressions.

I can't help but walk in circles. I am regretting it. This simple plan of mine quickly turned extremely wrong.

Wait, no. Even if she comes across the evil inside, she might be able to stay alive for a week. She is resourceful after all. I just need to go in as soon as possible. I have felt the evil inside. There is no way I could defeat such a thing no matter what.

But stalling might be possible. Stalling long enough for them to escape. Stalling long enough to save my idol. That is how I will proceed. I will lay down my life to atone for my mistake.

Still, this is frustrating. The wait. The helplessness. The strong desire to help that has is bottled inside of me.

"Where did these guys go?!"

What is that? About 50 people running from the direction my acquaintances came from. Wait my allies seemed to be running away from something. Was it perhaps from these people? It wouldn't make much sense but …

"Find them we need to execute them as fast as possible to get our payment!"

They all head this way.

"U-Unicorn! There is a unicorn there!"

I have been spotted it seems. These weaklings should stay away. For one of the first times in my life, I am in a bad mood.

"Kill her! Loot her horn! Sell it to the highest bidder! We are going to be rich boys!"

Killing me? Wanting to butcher my body? All for some coin?

Unforgivable.

UNFORGIVABLE.

It is all their fault. Their greed caused all of this.

Caused Wolfie to run to her possible death.

Caused Wolfie's human to run to his death too.

Caused some horrible complications.

Caused some evil to potentially be released by disturbing my work.

Caused my very likely upcoming death.

But most importantly caused me to sin.

I failed to protect. I failed to safeguard. I failed as a pure unicorn. They deserve some righteous punishment.

How does one punish sinners like them? One such as I wouldn't know. Unicorns are pure beings. What should I …?

Actually…I might know what to do. Yes, it all seems so clear right now. Everything happens for a reason. It all clicks in my head now. I give a relieved smile. I now know what I must do.

"What the hell is wrong with that creature?! Such a creepy smile!"

I start lowly humming to myself.

"One thing they did wrong. Opposing us their undoing."

I charge toward the nearest opponent and impale it on my horn.

"Against enemies no evildoing."

Blood flows from his perforated chest. His dying expression one of surprise.

"Proceed to crush their bones."

I stomp on another one…hard. I can hear a satisfying cracking sound as he falls to the ground and his head gets crushed.

"What the fuck is wrong with that unicorn?! Quickly surround it and …!"

I start singing even louder.

"Rampage as a cyclone!"

I dash evading most of their attacks. The ones that do hit me causing no damage whatsoever. Stomping, a spine gets snapped in half. Impaling, managed to get 2 of them at once. The more I keep going the more natural it feels.

"Cutting their junk!"

I don't have any weapons, but I do have hooves. And teeth. I bite and I smash.

"ARGGGG This hurts so much! What the hell is wrong with that thing!"

"Save me!!!!"

"Stay away from me evil creature!"

"Would have been wiser to submit. On your weak god, we spit!"

I keep killing and killing. They try to run, but I'm a motherfucking unicorn. I'm fast! Trying to run? I think not. There are still many left. It doesn't matter. Here we go again!

"We are peerlessly strong. One thing they did wrong. Opposing us their undoing Against enemies no evildoing!"

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

For once in my life, I feel alive.

I don't know why but the song I found extremely repulsive before I now understand. Some people just don't deserve to live. That is all. As simple as that.

As I'm having this epiphany I look around. I am standing on a mountain of corpses. For some reason, it doesn't disgust me. Their fate is as it should be.

I guess I just need to wait for the link to this other world to become available again. So what if in there awaits an utter evil?

That song does talk about being proud warriors. That is what I shall become. A proud unicorn. A proud warrior unicorn. Just wait for me, you evil creature! Even if I might be weaker, this unicorn will stomp you until only despair remains!

No matter what I will save Wolfie.

No matter what I will save that human.

No matter how weak he might be, he remains the king of the endless forest kingdom.

As long as he stays alive there will be a future for it. Perhaps a desolate future. Perhaps a glorious one. That will be up to them.

I do trust Wolfie. My resolve is made.

The hardest fight of my life upcoming!

I won't cower away!
