61 Jinxed (2/2)

'What the hell! She's crazy! No way I was the only one that saw that! I'm having second thoughts on making her into a servant. Hopefully, she is the fanatically loyal type like Abby and not the crazy, controlling, overprotective type.'

'That would be a nightmare,' Moby inwardly shuddered just thinking about it.

Moby just nodded back

While they were running, Moby was happy to notice a flurry of notifications that appeared telling him that his servants killed a beast. He noticed that the amount of XP he gained was lower than when he killed humans of the same power level. Also, every monster gave a different amount of XP even when they fall under the same rank. Moby thought was either that it was due to the intelligence of humans or demons somehow steal a person's soul when they die and that is what the XP gain from killing someone represents.

Moby only gained a total of 1000 XP from all those kills.

'There must be a reason why demons get stronger after killing or defeating someone. This is real life. Not a game.' was Moby's thought process.

According to his theory, this means that monster/magical beast souls are a lot weaker than that of humans resulting in a lower amount of XP gained.

When Moby tried to ask Avilia in order to confirm his theory, she always replied with very vague and sarcastic answers.

Moby felt like she would be lowkey sweating if she had a physical body.

This led to Moby believing his own theory for now. However, he was still not 100% certain.

Suddenly a huge earthquake along with a large rumbling sound came from the sand under them. The sand began to sink everyone inside like it was quicksand. All the sand was being sucked into a huge hole in the middle.

”FUCK!! IT'S THE WORM!! IT'S RIGHT UNDER US!! EVERYONE GET OUT!!!” Natalia frantically screamed.

”Fuck! You really did jinx it!” Jay cursed, using a pillar of earth to boost him away from the sandpit.

”Yay! Fun! Finally!” Travis said, jumping out of the sandpit using his high agility.

”Fuck! I can't get out! I can't die here! I am too young and beautiful to die! This would bring great dishonour to my family! SOMEONE SAVE ME!! Haley screamed a high pitch screech like a steaming kettle.

'Shit! I can easily get out of this. But, if I did, It would raise a lot of questions. I'll just try my best to demon flash out when no one is paying attention. Then I'll…' Moby thought before being expectedly unexpectedly interrupted.

Natalia had blinked towards him, carrying him in one hand. Then, she immediately blinked towards Haley, picking her up with her other hand.

'I should have expected this… No way Natalia would let me die. Also, that blink ability is really something… She can cover many meters of distance in an instant. I'm not sure how it fully works, But, I'm sure I'll find out eventually,' Moby thought.

”Thank you so much team leader Natalia! I am now greatly indebted to you!” Haley said with tear-filled eyes.

”Ya, thanks a lot!” Moby said with an awkward smile, trying his best to pretend like he was scared.

”Your welcome guys! Natalia said with a bright smile, taking them back onto land and away from the worm's quicksand.

”Hey! Why did you save him instead of the enhancer girl! At least she could be useful!” Jay complained.

”Moby has all our equipment! Would you be okay with losing all your belongings to the worm?” Natalia replied in a cold tone.

”Ummm… No I guess not…” Jay said, cursing his big mouth.

Moby looked over at the quicksand area and noticed the crying Neia. Her Body was already over halfway under the sand.

”Please… Someone… Save me…Don't leave me… Please….” Moby heard Neia mutter.

”Hey, Natalia, can't you use your blink ability to save her?” Moby asked.

'Fuck! I can't let her die! She is the only decent person in this team! Her ability is also really good and would definitely be useful in the future!' Moby thought.

”HELP PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU!” Neia screamed in horror, a waterfall of tears falling down her face.

After hearing Niea's horror-filled screams, a small malevolent smirk became visible on Natalia's face.
