Chapter 537: A need to fight (1/2)

With the arrival of the new dawn, the camp's residents woke up one by one along with the first rays of the bright sun.

Although yesterday's troubles did weigh the mood in the camp considerably lower than what should be normal, the atmosphere was still far from being depressive. The Silver Howls were after all experienced seniors, learned and wisened by the years of their past. Though they suffered some losses, luckily no lasting damages were made thanks to no small amount to the mysterious little girl of the adventurers in their co-joined group.

Whilst the residents of the various tents came out, some with a disheveled, groggy face, whilst others already brimming and ready for action, Captain Don made his way towards the largest tent of them all and stepped into their group's scholar's, Derick's domain.

As he stepped inside, Don's eyes were met with the delicate, slender back of the little black-haired girl, who was already deep in her own work, checking up on the three sleepyheads who have just come to their senses a short while ago.

She and Derick were checking the ladies, making sure they were indeed back to full health.

”Come on, girl… You should know me by now! I'm fine! Let me go, I want to go out and have my second round against that monster!” Though even Aina and Eina weren't known for their patience, the blonde amazon, Naybeah were the hardest to keep lying. Her blood was burning with passion, she couldn't stand yesterday's defeat.

To her, it was a disgrace, she wanted to prove to herself that she wasn't weak… that she wouldn't hinder her mate's path to the obvious glory in the future. Losing to that weird creature in such a disgraceful manner, was a dark stain to her ego. She needed to at least fight it to a draw otherwise she wouldn't be able to look into Aiden's eyes when they reunite.

”Sister, please keep still just a bit longer. Let us check you, and make sure you are really fine!” With her usual gentle smile plastered across her face, Galina pushed the girl down, surprising even Naybeah as a warm current of energy forced her back down, despite the girl not using any physical might.

As she woke up this morning, Galina was surprised herself as she noticed the newfound powers she gained overnight. Like before, new knowledge appeared abruptly in her mind, allowing her to familiarize herself with her newly gained powers at her own leisure.

Though she was still slightly confused about the what's and why's behind the situation, she could feel the increase in her strength. She felt the abundant flow of her [Soul Power], that it felt like her pool suddenly doubled overnight.

Yet, what was even more surprising was the newfound knowledge and deepened understanding of her Light and Nature affinities.

The new skill, according to the knowledge that appeared in her mind, was a sort of beam, an ability she could use to either provide a rapid boost to the target's health and restore him or her back to a fighting state during a crisis, or use it to obliterate foes closely related to the Darkness.

It was a powerful ability, though she wasn't sure if the sudden surge of concentrated energy wouldn't cause any damage to those caught in it unexpectedly. Before trying, Galina decided to talk to her Young Master about it whenever she could reach out to him in the near future.

”What is going on?” A deep holler, Captain Don's surprised exclamation suddenly resounded inside the tent. The old man stepped over and stood behind the leaned-over girl as she attended the overly-eager amazon.

”How are you feeling?” He asked with a concerned, worried-looking expression looking at the amazon.

”Argh! Fine! I am fine, yet I am forced to stay in bed!” She complained as she tried to struggle and break free, yet finding it strangely unable to do so.

”Don't make me repeat myself!” Galina chided, pushing the amazon back down. ”Be a good girl and stay still for a bit longer. Once we clear all of you, you and the others will be free to go, I promise!”

”Grrrr!! Fine! You promised!” Naybeah pouted, giving up and throwing herself back on the bed. A look of confusion flashed across her face, unable to comprehend how could a little girl like Galina keep her constrained so easily. She was sure that she was stronger than her, yet she felt powerless against that invisible warm energy of hers.
