Chapter 133: Stage 2
The fight much faster than she thought, there Awakeners was still standing among them though but still, the weak ones have been taken care of.
"How about this, we share the badges among each other." One of the them, that's breathing hard said.
The three of them looked at each other, they've come this far not only because of their strength but because they have to use their heads. They know they have to share it especially when they still have to take care of one more person.
They turned to Litha and one of them, the female elven sneered. "You think you're some hot shit? Staying back and trying to act all mysterious and shit. Well, are you going to fight us?"
Litha looked at them with curiosity. "I'm still trying to make up my mind if I should." She said truthfully. Should she actively go after the Title? That wasn't what they discussed with the team, but then again all they promised each other was to give it their best.
After the whole incident Litha was feeling kind of way. It was the first time she has ever been truly closed his death and saw her friend close death. It changed her perspective about a lot of things and one of the reason she was critical was somehow known to her– it boils down to getting power.
And being kidnapped and locked away reminded of places she wanted to shut away. She hates the helplessness. She must be as powerful as she can get. She must reach for as much as she can grap with her hands.
And have a Title is something that'll certainly increase her power and help others in her team too
While she was thinking the three Awakeners were inching closer. "Are you ignoring us right now? You arrogant bitch! How dare you!"
"You're really asking for it, nothing is illegal here and nothing will be used against us later."
Litha opened her eyes and leaned away from the tree. "I've made up my mind. I'll be taking the hopping monsters."
"Ahahaha! You are really funny. You'll be taking the monsters? At least you are bold."
"Maybe she's not mentally okay, someone from the first stage might have knocked her head in or something."
"Then let us just end her and forget about her. We still have a lot to hunt today!"
Litha walked forward and the three surrounded her, they aren't stupid. They know she might be powerful or have a strong Artifact and that's why she's so bold. Even though they just met they signal to each other with their eyes.
As one they jumped her but Litha didn't move from her place, infact she let the two warriors of the three reached her before she reacted. Her palms glowed with blue hot light that rippled and she dodged their first clumsy attack before she slammed their two chest with her hands.
Litha can control her internal organs with her power, but what about others? No, she can't but she didn't try. What she did was send hot mana blasting into their heart. Experience new stories with M-V-L
The surprise didn't show on their face before they fall and she made a shield casually in front of her against the green magic attack from the female elve.
She was inching back from Litha, her eyes twitching while her hands trembled. Litha smiled at her gently and then she made a disc of spinning mana that she flung but instead of going straight at her, the mana disk unfurled and snapped like a angry whip and the female head fell.
Litha shook her head. "They are like C rank Iron monsters. Why were they so arrogant?"
First she went around to loot all the dead Awakeners badges then she turned towards the monsters lair but first she looked into the forest. "Won't you come out now?" She asked mildly.
At first nothing happened but then behind the tree somebody walked out. "You noticed me."
"I noticed you immediately we all arrived here." Litha turned to meet him. He's an elv alright with long ears and white hair that reached all the way to his buttocks. He has a permanent kind of smile and his half opened eyes is dark.
And he is strong. Litha know this but first. "Why do you keep your hair so long? It'll interfere with any fight you get into."
He shrugged, all elegant like. "I've not been in a situation like that before."
Litha nodded. Obviously or he'll have make it short or at the very least tie it. "So what do you want from me? Do you want the hopping rat as well?" Honestly, she's willing to give it away to avoid a real fight so close to the beginning of the second stage.
He smiled. "Why, the hopping rats won't be bad but I want to hunt bigger monsters."
Litha sighed in what resemble relief. "Then you can go, I'll hunt the hopping rat." She started to move forward.
"Wait." The guy shouted. "Since we are brought together at once don't you think that means something?"
Litha turned and blinked. "Well, this is unexpected but I'm not interested in any romantic relationship now. Maybe when I've climbed higher you can...."
His smile was getting dimmer and sharper. "I don't mean that! I mean to fight! I can already tell that you will be a problem for me later who want to join the Title."
"I will be a problem with you later. So?" Her eyes glowed hotly. "Piss off, you smiling bastard. How do you want to hit on girl with an attitude like that?"
He stopped smiling. "You bitch, do you think you are some hot chick because you killed those common Codex bastard?"
Litha nodded in encouraging and fully turned to him. "That's it, the real person behind the smilies. We can now have a real conversation now can't we?"
His eyes widen with joy. "Yes we can after I stand over your dead body."
