Chapter 86: Im free... (1/2)
Thud! A dull, heavy sound resounded when the part of the wall fell on the ground.
Apparent cold smoke and pulverized pieces of the crushed ice wafted in the air like dust, when the broken part of the wall crashed on it.
It blew the rigid smoke and embracedYman's skin as he stood close to it. The chilling cold caused a biting sensation on him. However, he wasn't bother by it.
The place turned quiet and onlythe heavy breathing were conspicuous at the moment — as it was the sole noise left presently.Both of them were gasping for breath; none of them were in good shape.
...
Step, step--
From the back, unhurried footsteps were coming closer to him. His neck twisted a bit to his left to glance to his companion.
To his surprise, both of them were wearing stunned faces.
”Is the matter?” He asked with a frown, wondering what kind of ploy was this.
They did not answer, probably tired.
However, both of them lifted their fingers and pointed on his back.
As he could not see what they were pointing, he turned his head to the right.
And there, he saw the still biting Evil Rat on his shoulder.
Yman's brow twitched.
”Get off, buddy!” He yelled, then he grabbed the head of it, and crushed it with his hand.
Within his grip, the rat's misery only lasted for several seconds, when he crushed themonster's head.
”Merciless as ever, huh. Truly a Rat Slayer,” Mercenary Ultima said jokingly.
”Y-Yman, you should kill it properly,” Almina said.
”Hmph, no matter how he did it, the conclusion is still the same,” Maena said to contradict Almina's words. 'As if that guy knows how to pity others, he was even no qualms in hurting his comrades, what's more, a monster...' she thought.
Almina glanced at her, and their eyes met, then electric sparks were shot to each other.
Yman forced a tired smile and said, ”I agree to blonde. No matter how you did it, in the end, you were still going to kill it.”
Almina was enveloped by dark aura for some reason.
She never expected that this guy would choose to agree with this girl.
But his next words put a smile on her face, ”But I think Miss Almina's way of killing them suit her better. Very elegant,” he had to soothe the atmosphere because he ironically felt a dangerous ambiance from Almina. He didn't know if his words made her mad.
The dangerous ambiance recently suddenly castaway.With a flush red face, she pushed some strands of hair behind her ears while asking, ”Really?”
”Mhm!” He nodded.
Almina broke into a broad smile which stunned the three of them. Then she opened her mouth andsaid bashfully, ”B-By the way, Y-Yman, cut the M-Miss when you speak of my name,”
”Ah, sorry, I forgot, ahaha,” he drily laughed while scratching the back of his head.
She sighed.
”Always forgotten,” Alminamumbled with teary eyes.
”Pardon.” But Yman did not seem to hear it.
”N-Nothing.”
Ahem! They heard the blonde cleared her throat. Then said,”Oh right, I don't want to be called blonde by you, call me Maena from now on. Be glad!”
Maena said in her usual aloft demeanor.
He wondered if she's trying to be friendly or what.
He smiled and nodded at her then said, ”I'm glad.”
”Of course, you should be.”
”Hehehe, seemed like Miss Cold Woman here started to melt away,” Almina grimly said.
Yman gaped while looking at Almina, surrounded by an eerie aura once again.
Is this her passive skill? -- his thought.
”You!” Maena shouted at her.
Yet the two of them started their bickering.
He wanted to ask if they felt no tired as of yet.
A moment later, they decided to enter the room but before that, ”Wait! Miss Almina, Miss Maena! What about me, can I also called you without honorifics?” Mercenary Ultima, suddenly asked as he was pointing himself.
He believed that he was more than capable compared to Rat Slayer. With this in his thought, he had high expectations that these beauties would not mind if he called them without honorifics too.
”Eh?”
The three paused for a moment and said,
”Who this guy?” Maena asked indifferently.
”A wanderer?” Almina added.
”Tis, here I thought all of them escaped already,” Maena gnashed her teeth.
”Looks like one of them remained,” Almina replied.
”Oh, by the way, how many you killed?” Maena remembered their competition.
”150 mobs and one Wanderer. How about you?” Almina replied.
”Tsk, the same score again, did you cheat?” Maena clicked her tongue and bit her lip.
”Hell, no!” Almina yelled at her.
”Then shall we kill this one here to settle the score?”
Mercenary Ultima instantly froze at Maena's words.
”Kuku,” Almina chuckled then summoned her twin blades with no further words.
”RAT SLAYER HELP!!”
Yman chuckled at the Junior's pitiful yelped and giggled at the two girls. They were totally in sync at bullying the Junior trainee.
Suddenly, he felt an itchy feeling down his throat and throbbing pain on his backs.
Hmm, looks like, the poison exacerbates, and the wounds are bleeding -- his thought.
He took a potion from his storage and drank it to counter the poison. Then he used his healing spell to heal the wounds from the bite.
