Chapter 85: Mo En (1/2)

Even though I said that…after giving it some though, I don’t think I can actually beat her even if I tried…errr, just wait till I finish cultivating my godlike techniques, I’ll get you then. For now, I’ll let you off. Be grateful for my benevolence, bird woman!

Having to deal with that flying bast*rd once more, Habona was in a notably foul mood, “Hey you, don’t tell me you’re here to pick another fight?”

Numila peered at me with narrowed eyes, clearly interested as her mouth broke into a smirk: “I’m just here to determine the identity of the soul bard. However, if we are still on opposing sides the next time we meet, I’ll be the first to kill you.”

“…” Now that’s harsh…aren’t you wasting that beautiful face of yours…

“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, you won’t be able to lay finger on her.”

Habona put me back on the ground after which I immediately ran to her back. This bird lady’s gaze was simply too piercing and she even wanted to kill me…should I seek protection from Habona? But that mat of black fur though…I think I’ll just pass on it.

“Hmm, why don’t you just try it then.”

Numila’s body instantly heated up and started radiating scorching heat waves. Just by standing near her made me feel cooked.

“The defeated shouldn’t act so arrogantly!” With a kick of her feet, she shot into air, dispersing the heat as she hurtled right at the flying harpy.

“What did you say!” She shouted defiantly, her body erupting in a blinding flame that blocked her from my view. All I heard was her furious shouting. “I was just careless the last around. This time I’ll show you who is the real loser!”

These two habaneros were just so temperamental…

Previously, Numila ended up losing because of that surprise attack by Habona’s tail; what should’ve been a weak point turned out to be a deadly weapon and caused her sneak attack to backfire.

This time, things were different, the same tactic won’t work on her. Furthermore, she had confirmed that while Habona was stronger than her, her speed was inferior to her own especially since she had the ability to fly. This was a massive advantage against the land-bound Habona, one which she intended to make use of right now as she pelted the werewolf with long range attacks.

First were simple fireballs, next came the fire serpents, fire whips and even a flame shower. As the two fought, the destruction they wrought became even more widespread and heated up. Several passing undead ended up getting caught the crossfire and were instantly reduced to ashes to by stray fireballs, soul flames and all…

“Are you about done? How about coming down for a fair fight!!”

“So it’s unfair just because you can’t hit me? How stupid do you think I am to give up on my advantage of flight? You’re mad if you think I’ll do so just to engage in a melee fight with you.”

“Damn it! Despicable b*tch, DIE!”

“The one who should die is you!”

“Roasted chicken!”

“Mutt!”

By now, Habona had been driven insane by the infuriating fire attacks of the harpy. Not only was she unable to hit her, she even got burned trying to do so. No matter how she tried to attack, Numila was able to evade by a hair’s breath thanks to her wings.

“Errr, Harlow, is your sister going to be…alright?” By now, we were slightly concerned about our safety. After all, she was the strongest in our temporary party. If we were to get swarmed by harpies while she was engaged, the two medusas alone would have difficulty protecting us two baggages.

“Don’t worry, Sis isn’t as frenzied as you think she is. While we can’t turn into humans thanks to our overwhelming rage, this doesn’t mean that we are controlled by our rage. She might look frenzied now, but she will definitely come back to her senses when the situation arises, barring any exceptional circumstances.”

As I was his benefactor, Harlow’s attitude was noticeably respectful. Even his fiancee, Majosha had become significantly friendlier.

“You’re sure about that?”

This was her third attempt at hitting Numila. Despite her frenzied and reckless attacks, Numila’s flight ability was proving too difficult for her to handle. With her impressive agility and command over fire, as long as she didn’t stay stay too close to Habona, Numila’s position was nigh assailable.

“If she really can’t win, we should join in the fight.” She said this while staring intently at the ongoing battle. She coldly threw out a suggestion, “My snake hairs should be able to hit her from this distance.”

“Don’t forget about me, my accuracy rate is pretty high with my snake hairs.” Majosha chimed in, agreeing with her sister’s suggestion.

“…maybe you shouldn’t.” Would she be alright with our interference though? From the looks of it, she must’ve been the prideful type who didn’t want anyone to interfere in her fight.

“No!” Harlow anxiously cut in. “Sis is really particular about a match’s fairness. If you stepped in now, she would be furious.”

“Are you sure she isn’t furious already?” She smirked as she pointed at the female werewolf who had been on the losing end since the beginning. “She seems to be on the verge of losing it.”

“It’s a totally different matter. Right now, she’s still in her normal state. Once she gets angered to the limit…she wouldn’t even able to recognize me…” Harlow shrunk inwards as he said this as if he had remembered a traumatic experience. After a few seconds of silence, he finally broke out of his recollection with a head full of sweat. He hastily persuaded them not to interfere in the fight.

“Fine, she’s your sister.” Manasha waved her tail dismissively and crossed her arms, ready to watch the show from the sidelines.

Majosha, on the other hand was significantly more concerned. She was Harlow’s sister after all. Once Majosha marries into the family, that sister would be her kin as well.
