Standing still amidst the suspense that engulfed them entirely, the adventurers kept looking around while Jack held onto the arrow that puzzled him entirely. “Listen, guys…” Seth said to his companions, looking at the direction of the valley while the rest of the adventurers turned toward that direction as well, their ears eager to hear what was going on. “Can you hear that? Is no one hearing what I am hearing?” Seth asked after a few seconds, looking at his companions who seemed confused and unable to grasp what he was talking about. “What is that, Seth? What are you talking about?” Vince asked almost immediately, confused just like the rest of the adventurers who gave up their attempts to find out what the Centaur was talking about. “I am surprised you guys didn’t hear that, now it’s gone…” Seth sighed softly, looking at Jack who seemed to be the only one listening to hear what he was talking about. Sierra sucked her teeth, and then she rolled her eyes at Seth who gave her a l

Eventually, the leader of the savage men changed his mind about moving closer to Sierra which was somehow understandable even though no one knew his reasons, and the other adventurers had their eyes on him while they wondered why he stopped. He walked up to a spot where he was certain that the five adventurers were going to see him clearly, and then he cleared his throat twice. “Kneel.” He said calmly, but the five of them were so bewildered that he could speak after they all behaved that they were unable to produce any other sound apart from the hootings he made alongside his men who were ready to attack. “Kneel!” He commanded with a compelling tone, causing them to go on their knees without any hesitation, grunting in so much pain the moment their knees hit the rocky ground. Lucy turned almost immediately to look at Seth who was still not moving as he lay still on the floor, his sword lying waste on the floor glittered under the effects of the sunlight. The leader of the savage

At that time, Sierra expressed the displeasure she felt from the rules that Kael was still mentioning. She felt they were one-sided, but it looked like he was aware, and didn’t care about their opinions even though they grumbled instantly. “Finally…” Kael continued with a low tone, looking at Sierra with a confident smile on his face while he got ready to mention the final rule. “The challenger is allowed to pick multiple weapons, but the opponent is only entitled to just one weapon. I suggest she makes the right choice or be faced with a lesser chance of lasting longer than expected.” Kael walked up to Sierra, and after leaning forward to her right ear, he whispered to her with a smirk on his face. “I can’t wait for him to tear you into pieces. I wonder how long you are going to last before he breaks all your bones and chops off your head.” Kael sniggered with a low tone while he took backward steps away from Sierra who looked at him at once, and attempted to pretend as though his

Kael walked up to the middle of the two persons who were ready to engage themselves in a fight, and when he was certain that it was suitable to begin the fight, he nodded in satisfaction before declaring the fight to begin. “Let the fight begin!” He said with a hand gesture before he took several steps backward, away from the middle of Sierra and Rico who faced each other with so much animosity written all over their faces. “I am going to make you plead for the mercy which you are never going to get,” Rico said while he started to walk in a circle, glaring at Sierra who chuckled almost immediately. “You really are full of yourself. I am going to teach you what it means to be afraid of a woman. You should be ready to fall at my feet.” Sierra retorted almost immediately, looking at Rico who sniggered instantly before he growled angrily at her. “Let's see who is going to be the first to fall!” Rico growled for the umpteenth time while glaring at Sierra who bent down slowly, ready to

Rico waited for Sierra to stand up from the floor for over ten seconds, but she didn’t seem to have been able to get a grip on herself. All he wanted to do at that moment was to finish her off, but he wanted to do it in grand style just to show off to everyone who cared to look at him. “Don’t be a killjoy, elf! Pick up your weapon from the floor and fight me!” Rico’s voice echoed from where he stood, his body fuming under the influence of the impatience and anger that engulfed him entirely. The other savage men witnessing the scene were already assured of Rico’s victory, but all they needed was more show which he was willing to give them. They hoofed and stomped their feet hard on the ground while they fixed their eyes on their champion and his weak opponent. “Get up, Sierra.“ Jack said with a whisper, looking at Sierra whose eyes were almost shut while she tried to push herself up to no avail. “He is going to kill her.” Lucy who had managed to open her eyes to find out what was h
