Zail started laughing which made Ashtria stare at him confusedly. "I didn't expect you're here all of a sudden. Do you still have the strength after receiving too many bruises and severe wounds? That's a princess for ya, or should I say the daughter of the mighty Asherion?" Zail asks while keeps on laughing. Ashtria gritted her teeth looking at him. "How do you know who am I? You piece of sh*t," Ashtria cursed him still pointing her sword at him. Zail slowly approaches her and when he finally gets closer, he softly touches Ashtria's sword and stared at his eyes. "How could I not know you when your father was one of the top fighters that Archainians loved and was just killed because of betrayal? Of course, thanks to that useless little robot that I bought at Technicia City. She was able to get information from Tori," he said keeping on looking into her eyes. "I have fun watching the game," he added which made Ashtria slide her sword to cut his neck but Zail was able to stop it using
Ashtria just glanced at the two men lying on the ground with their heads beheaded. Her vision started to blur after what happened. She can't take it anymore and slowly closed her eyes and almost fell to the ground, luckily, Lucas was on her side to catch her. He carries Ashtria when she notices she's fallen asleep. He might don't know what really happened but he knows for sure that she did her best, he was hoping he could do something big for her and be a man to save people. Ashtria is strong but for some reason, at every first glance, she seems always looks weak. Tori was now running towards them holding a remote and Lucas' sword. She quickly takes Ashtria's swords as well and they quickly contact Sanya and the others. They all felt relief when everything was fine, they found Dorothy and Kaiden and said that Tom, the one who had the ability to be able to read mind escape from the place and he can no longer be found near the area. They've agreed to meet at the wooden house where it
After a day of resting at the cave, Ashtria and Lucas were able to replenish their strength and energy to walk. They quickly head outside to escape from the Xenthral Kingdom. They have been walking for three days and passing through small towns and forests already to avoid attention. Tori gave them advice that they needed to escape to the Kingdom as soon as possible because Maxine will definitely try her best to find them, especially Ashtria, the one who killed her brother. Escaping the Xenthral Kingdom is not an easy thing to do, but luckily, Tori gave them a card which they will use to head outside using the main gate for them to get out as soon as possible. Ashtria also bought a new black and white mask near the town they passes and wear it immediately. The second main gate is only near the town they are now heading to. They bought some food and drinks first before deciding to get going to the second main gate. Sanya notice that the group was so silent, she already knew the rea
They've arrived at the misty forest, and they weren't expecting it to be as large as it is. Fortunately, they haven't come across any monsters. They've been walking through the misty forest for a few minutes now, but they still need to be cautious of their surroundings because they don't know when a monster will attack them. Ashtria let the Owl fly away from them and just used the flute that the King gave them to call the owl. The mist added by the dark surroundings creates an eerie atmosphere in the misty forest. Trees were tall and shaded the sunlight; screaming could be heard, but it wasn't too close to their location.Moments later, the three of them notice something running around, which causes them to pause for a moment and take a look at their surroundings. The area is so quiet that only their horses' footsteps can be heard. They look at each other and nod. They quickly let their horses run as fast as they can while avoiding the trees and branches that were in their way.Ashtri
The people who left after the monster's attack were all amazed at what Lucas and Ashtria did. Sanya at the back was beaming after hearing the people murmuring about how great fighters were her brother and Ashtria. It was as if for her they were like celebrities. "You see that!? That's my brother and my soon to be my sister!" she exclaimed while pointing at them. Both Lucas and Ashtria were shocked by what they heard from Sanya's mouth."What!?" both of them shouted at the same time which made her startled. "What? What I mean is you'll be part of our family, miss! You will be my sister, what the both of you are thinking?" Sanya makes an excuse and just looks away. For now, only ten people are left including the guy with the riffle and the muscular guy. Some of their colleagues were eaten by the big flying monsters and the swine. The guy just stood up and places his riffle again on his shoulder. He walks closer towards the three when they're now deciding on leaving. "The misty fores
"What do you mean?" Sanya asks him curiously. Drico suddenly appeared from the kitchen and was the one who answered the question. "I'll be honest, the people in this village were all came from the Xenthral Kingdom as well and was able to escape from them as they don't want to come back and play games in order to eat and to have money to pay for their expenses or daily necessities. In this,s village they always sacrifice two women every year for the monster at the lake near the village. The people in this village treat that monster as their god because he was the one that made this village able to live in peace. No monsters who were able to enter the village because of his presence. The villagers were thankful to him because he is their protector," Drico explained to them then continue to speak. "The village was called the mirrorlake village, the origin of its name came from the mirror lake near the village where the god lives. Every year, he will always get out of the lake to find s
The chief's eyes widen as he hears what the man has said to him. He quickly approaches him and violently grabs Almido's shoulder, bringing his face even closer to his. "Who said it!? Who is that person? Who are they!" the chief yells, his eyes fired in rage.Almido was now shaking in fear when the chief yelled at him. It was unusual to see him like this, as he always had a calm appearance and was a chief who always smiled and put his people's safety first before himself. "They are those three newcomers to this village! I-I heard that woman who wear a black cloak and a white and black mask to cover her face from us! She and her friends are planning on killing god! They are with Valdo and Drico, chief!" Almido responds, his eyes staring at the chief.Elder Lolita was just staring at Almido who keeps on explaining his side. Her eyes began to stare at him intently and started to walk closer to the chief and tap his shoulder which made him turn his gaze at her and started to calm down when
They now all decided to go back to Drico's house when the announcement finally finish. Ashtria moves her gaze at her back when she still senses the chief's eyes staring at her. She didn't bother it anymore and continued to walk alongside her friends.They are now inside Drico's house and Sanya immediately goes to the kitchen to continue eating their food. "We're doomed! The chief and the elders already found out what are we going to do!? We're so doomed!" Valdo exclaimed and was giving a worried expression to them."You're so dramatic, it was just a warning. As if they can take us all and beat us immediately. If that was happening now, why don't we tease them even more by going to the lake and investigate it? The sooner the better," Sanya said while eating her leftover soup at the table."Dramatic!? I am not dramatic! I am worried about what will gonna happen next, aren't you worried to get die!?" Valdo shouts and covered his mouth when he realized he was shouting. Drico then immediat
