Chapter 617 - 562: King of Jade (2/2)

As she said that, Losha retracted her hand and stretched her hand to the player, who accepted it, not withholding any hard feelings. They never planned to fight to the death and, in some ways, their character was a bit similar, though Maxine was on the crazier side.

”But tell me! What was that mo-”

Maxine suddenly stopped talking and looked to the side, precisely at the edge of the carriage. A person appeared out of nowhere and was staring at them but she couldn't feel any hostility.

”Huh? Isn't she that White Specter? Luna… no no, Lucy, right right!”

Maxine sized up the incoming Lucy, not very interested in a fight but still keeping her guards up.

The silver-haired woman stopped before the player and Losha, then slightly bowed her head to the latter.

”Teacher.”

In response, Losha waved her hand dismissively while saying: ”I'm not your teacher anymore so stop doing that.”

”…” Lucy raised her head and stared back at the red-haired blacksmith, who acted nonchalantly.

Maxine used a skill similar to Appraisal to check Lucy's info and when she read the displayed information, her opinion of the specter changed.

”You're really something, huh.”

She nodded her head as she inspected her from head to toe before backing off and leaving the area. Her behavior was strange and inexplicable but since Lucy didn't come for the player, she didn't comment and quietly watched the green-haired woman leave while whistling.

”It's rare to see you alone.”

Losha looked around before asking: ”Where is that detestable husband of yours?”

”I don't know.”

Lucy shook her head while answering truthfully. They got separated on the previous floor and the train is just too big to search every nook and cranny.

*Contestants, the train will reach the destination in 15 minutes. Please hold tight.”

Right after the tower spoke, the whole train started violently shaking, making many of the contestants lose balance. Unless you've got a special skill, flying is not possible using only energy, moreover, there were some large wraiths that would attack you if you leave the train's protection range.

When the trembling started, the screeching wraiths appeared from the shrouded sides and attacked everything that moved.

Lucy took out her revolver and fired at the wraiths, which were momentarily stopped by the bullets but weren't extinguished. Losha unsheathed Grail, the White divine sword, and stabbed the nearest wraith. A blinding light burst from the blade's tip, it caused the monster to wildly cry before disappearing into nothingness.

”Spiritual monsters can be killed using lig-”

Before she could finish, Losha saw a blue cloud that appeared above the carriage. The cloud appeared from a blue bullet, this was but the beginning as countless lightning bolts descended upon all the attacking wraiths, slowly killing them, their bodies were emitting steam as they tried to flee but the zapping blue lightning was merciless, sparing none.
