245 Attacked 1 (2/2)

”A forest ranger? No, there shouldn’t be any forest rangers in this area. Who are you?” Ulun asked with a solemn look, as he knew that the move performed by the opponent was something he, a Soldier-level could only hope to do.

The woman laughed and didn’t answer his question. She had her eyes on Garen the whole time.

”A rich playboy who doesn’t go and enjoy his life, and instead decides to dig up some weeds in this deserted area? Acacia, what are you up to?”

”Who are you!” Garen retreated and hid behind Ulun. ”How do you know my name?” He was trying his best to act frightened while paying attention to the woman in front of him.

The opponent was filled with energy spirit, which made him slightly anxious. It was an opponent that was currently stronger than him.

”My name is Diaz. Consider yourself unlucky because I am currently in a very bad mood!” Diaz started smiling coldly as she raised her right hand.

Suddenly, a soft sonic boom rang out.

Pew!!

Ulun forcefully pushed Garen away and shielded him. He grunted and swung both of his swords towards the woman only to be easily evaded by her.

”Run!!” Ulun shouted as he swung his swords at incredible speed at Diaz without any concern for his injury.

Garen stumbled about as he ran away. As he ran for a few steps, he saw a blue figure at the corner of his sight.

”It’s the blue scaled snake! Of course!” He felt a chill in his body. The opponent was definitely related to Aquarius.

Shortly after, he heard Ulun shouted from behind him, and was completely silent after that.

”Can you even escape?” A woman’s voice came from behind and a soft sonic boom was heard as well.

Garen pretended to sprain his ankle and tumbled on the ground as he avoided the black needle. He tumbled down the slope and landed onto a grass field.

He heard the sound of the footsteps approaching as he saw Diaz’s figure in front of him. She pulled out her long sword and pointed it at Garen.

”You’re so weak.” She looked at him arrogantly.

She looked at him as if he was a joke when she saw the herbs that was in Garen’s hand.

Slam!

She stomped onto the basket of herbs with all her might and as a result, the herbs were completely ruined, leaving no useful ingredients behind.

”Is this the garbage you’ve been looking for all over the place? It’s very unfortunate that they’re completely useless now~~”

”What the f*ck!”

Garen’s eyes were filled with rage. These herbs were collected with his sweat and time, and now they were completely ruined by her stomp.

As he looked out from the corner of his vision again, and still the blue-scaled snake was there. He was very sure that a Luminarist was controlling the situation in the dark.

”You dare to kill me!!? I am the only successor to the Trejons Household! You may want to consider the consequence before killing me! My whole household will never let you go!!!” Garen acted as if he was omnipotent. However, he was only strong on the appearance in the eyes of the blue-scaled snake and Diaz.

”Never let me go? Hehe, I’m so scared…” Diaz started to laugh loudly, so much so that she started to tearing up. ”I didn’t know garbage like you even knew how to threaten others.”

Whoosh.

At this moment, Garen showcased a little of his battle skills. He got up, ran and jumped to the other side of the steep slope without giving Diaz a chance to react.

”You’re dead!” Diaz quickly followed up and chased Garen down at full speed as she jumped to the other side of the steep slope as well.

The human-like eyes on the blue-scaled snake looked slightly disappointed.

”Is that what he is only capable of? This is the little strength that he was hiding?” It hesitated for a moment and eventually turned around and left the area. ”I’ve wasted my effort to arrange a General-level to be here.”

Splash!

A sound of a heavy object falling into the water came from the steep slope.

*********

The end of the slope was actually a deep green colored pond.

Diaz flew down, tracking Garen’s rolling. She ended up at the cliff edge of the slope and looked down at the pond down below.

”There’s no one here!? Where did he run off to? Did he fall down?” She was mortified as she looked down at the water ripple in the pond.

”If I die, someone will avenge me. What about you?” Suddenly a gentle male voice came from behind her.

Diaz felt a shiver from her head to toe and out of reflex, she struck back with her sword and shot out three black needles at the same time.

Pew pew pew!!
