Chapter 177 - The Fox And The Chimaera (2/2)
She then left the sealed area, forever trapping the spawning enemies. Soon, those humanoid soldiers will fill up the sky, and even summoning the giant behemoth from their realm if they were that dumb. Alas, nobody knew what would happen in the future except if they entered the illusionary wonderland themselves.
Although she noticed something moving really fast when she was exiting the place. Guda couldn't care less, especially knowing that her time won't last long.
The fox then glanced at her right hand, slowly crumbling like sand that dispersed to the sky. She had used pretty much 80% of her own spiritual power; this also counts the core energy that holds her own existence intact.
”Well, I guess going to the forest is a bad idea after all… I hope someone will take care of the children…”
She then sat next to a tree, leaning her head as she smiled upon the dancing leaves. Her left hand caressed the Soul Binding Orb. Only time awaits her at the end of the styx river.
Just as when she decided to close her eyes, a bright source of glow and another steaming person appeared in front of her. A warm energy was flowing through. Not wasting any chance, she immediately converted the transferred energy to make up for her spiritual energy loss.
”Nyaha!?”
”I saw everything, don't worry about it.”
It was the black haired chimaera, still in her adventuring apparel. It struck a huge denial to the fox as she would never have thought that out of all people, Elon was the one who came to the rescue on the edge of the straw.
Guda put on a smirk. ”I thought you were still screaming at your home, since when did you have the willpower to stay sane right now?”
Elon casually unbuttoned her chest area, revealing her chest as there was a pain-tolerant talisman attached to the humble mountain. ”Ragoni gave it to me.”
”Heh.” Guda closed her eyes, maintaining her smug grin albeit coated in pain. ”How cruel of you to stand aside. Just how heartless you could be when a whole Citadel was at stake? Also, how come that I couldn't detect you?”
The fox looked calm on the outside, but deep inside, she was angry at Elon for not doing anything.
”I have the capability of becoming one with my surroundings almost undetectable by any method ” Elon hurled a dissatisfied sigh. ”If I moved, it would wear off. As for why I didn't help, I haven't trusted you as much, so let that be forever my fault.”
Guda threw another sigh, avoiding a face to face gaze. ”Well, you patched the hole by saving my life. A normal person would've approached me while laughing before spitting at my face.”
”That is your fault for being unreasonably suspicious.”
Guda then smiled confidently after hearing those words, gesturing her hand into a fox again. ”I heard that the fox is the most trusted animal that has ever existed.”
”See? You're doing it again..” Elon lightly chuckled, finally shedding her usual stern gaze into the carefree one. ”My, my, now what I should do with the most trustworthy fox like you?”
