Chapter 53 (1/2)
“Mikoto, Hinagiku your objective is to kill the hounds, I will cook me up some small fries, then we go deal with the sc.u.mbag majora!”
Wu Yan went over the details of their plan before slowly drawing out Nietono no Shana.
“Don’t worry, I will look after Hinagiku!”
Quickly picking up the meaning be hind his gaze Mikoto tried to a.s.sure the guy with a nod.
“Hey…”
Listening to Mikoto, Hinagiku stood akimbo a bit upset at their treatment of her.
“I’m not a kid, do I need to be taken care of?”
A bit powerless at her display he responded.
“I say Kaichou-sama, this is all for your own good, with your low level right now, it would have to wait until you’re a bit higher, then you can do whatever you want, but right now please be obedient and cooperate with Mikoto.”
“I know I know, it’s not like I don’t understand.”
Still a bit bitter she took light steps to Mikoto’s side.
“At least leave one for me to deal with, I also want to help out!”
Wu Yan and Mikoto exchanged look before nodding.
“Okay, Hinagiku can have one, take it as a chance to improve your real battle experience!”
If it’s against only one Hinagiku should be able to do it. It is a battle between tiers but tier 2 and tier 3 is not that from each other yet, and the hound wouldn’t be able to rival humans in terms of cunning and wits, thus the battle should be easier on her.
Spending 100’000 Item points to buy a Resplendent Breath, he pa.s.sed it over to her while reminding her sternly.
“If you’re ever in danger, drink it straight away, don’t risk it!”
“No need, I…”
“Listen!”
Shoving the potion into her hands he stared directly into her yellowish green pupils.
“To me, you’re more important then that lousy bottle of potion, screw 100’000 Item points even if it were to be multiplied by 100 or 1000 times it’s still worth less than a drop of your blood!”
Amazed by his seriousness she blushed and received the potion and then grasping it tightly in her palm.
Mikoto who stood on the side was also surprised by the pa.s.sionate statement. She’s only 14 years old, never has she heard a line so cheesy and cringe worthy, she feels embarra.s.sed and at the same time a bit of admiration for the guy. In her eyes, there were some warmness and displeasure mixed together.
“Woof woof!”
Suddenly a hound is barking at their direction giving the trio still hiding in the dark a jump, along with the bark more barking sounds came.
Right now a pack of hounds are heading their direction while barking and leaving a trail of drool along the way, it’s sloppy to say the least.
“Who’s there!”
Seeing that their hounds sudden acted up the mercenaries took up arms.
Tie Li also flinched at this, regaining his senses he smashed the bottle in his hand on the ground and ran to Lirin’s side picking her up under his arms as he warily looked at the trees where the trio is hiding.
Confronted with the approaching abominations, he almost cussed, without waiting for him to make a move, Mikoto made an electric net and dragged the hounds to the side.
Can she not be happy at this turn of events? The trio already distributed their job, Wu Yan shanks the fools, she and Hinagiku deals with the dogs. But the problem was that the dogs were mixed in with the mercenaries, and this change happened just as she was having a minor headache over how to filter out the dogs from the people.
Luckily she doesn’t need to take any further actions as the dogs moved on their own towards them, she only needs to capture all of them with an electric net and slaughter them at the side.
Hinagiku swung her hand to the side to materialize a crystal long sword before das.h.i.+ng off to the side. She picked a random dog and started a battle with it.
“Who are you people!”
Still shouting the mercenaries made their way towards Mikoto and Hinagiku, from the looks of it they don’t have any intention of finding out, it’s kill on sight.
Once Tie Li saw Hinagiku and Mikoto who are fighting with the dogs his eyes shone before turning vulgar. His eyes wandered about like he’s contemplating how to capture them alive.
Seeing that his eyes is moving about on their bodies, Wu Yan who is well versed in cliche tropes knew what the p.r.i.c.k is thinking about. He smirked before shooting out from behind a tree at the mercenaries who are approaching Mikoto and Hinagiku.
In his mind this group of people is already dead!
The jolly running mercenaries didn’t get a chance to get near the two girls before a silver flash appeared in the center of their formation. Like a dancing firefly the flash appeared and disappeared, the dance however is not as harmless as a firefly’s those flashes is the cold glimmer of silver blade.
“Urgh..”
A mercenary stopped his advance drawing the puzzled gazes of his colleagues, before they could ask him what’s wrong the mercenary grumbled and his weapon fell with a ‘tingtang’ on the floor.
