With restless eyes, Siola stared at the quest's screen. 'Need to kill the gods, I see.'
Shifting her eyes to Lilian who is hugging her arm, soundly resting her eyes. Siola decided to poke her forehead.
”Let's go.”
Lilian wiped the water in her eyes and nodded as she yawns.
They rose up and went to an inn to buy provisions. After spending a mountain loads on it, they set out to Mount Tempest without riding a carriage like she was planning to.
Something is happening in her mind, she knows it and yet, she doesn't know what to with it.
It was a long walk on a steep mountain, they encountered many kinds of monsters along the way, but none at which, they cannot handle. Especially since Siola has stepped into another level with her skills.

With the help of Solemn State, as long as she's in this moody and calm minded state, the strength of her abilities would increase tremendously. But... she's in this state not because she wanted to.
*Fuurrrhur-hurh*
She has created 2 Draugr assassins and 3 Draugr archers, they are now available to be summoned at any time due to the seals she got.
They kept walking day and night, taking little to no rest whatsoever. Lilian is holding up all right, but Siola is not. For many times, Lilian tried to convince Siola - in her own way - to rest her body, but she ignored her. Because of that, Siola has fainted numerous times and Lilian had to carry her to a safe place before continuing.
Now facing off against a large monstrous scorpion, the two Draugr assassins speeds up towards it and shove their daggers to the cracks of its body while the three archers firing off their arrows from afar.
*Slash *Slash *Slice
Siola charged up her [Magic Arrow] and blasted it away. Once it's defeated, the mindless draugrs walked towards her. She used her [Store Seal] once more, and the journey continued.
'Mount Tempest, the legend once said that even a slime can reach to the highest seat of power. Many follow the same path in ancient times. Based on the lore, one of the remnants of that legend… lies is there.'
Surrounding herself and Lilian with her summon, they managed to get into the top safely with the undead taking the full beating of the wind. Someone is waiting for them at the top, it is none other than the necromancer from the bounty quest himself. ”Hoo, a kin. Welcome, my daughters. I take it you are here to take my life, no?”
”…” Siola is eyeing him up and down, inspecting him.
”Not in the mood to talk, I see. Very well, let's get to it then.”
He summoned his staff and slammed it to the ground, *Boom*, as the shattering noise quaked the ground, 10 draugr emerged. Two of them are as big as a small house. Siola squinted her eyes, 'A master… [Defy] is also a problem. Lilian too.'
'Guess I need to be a bit more engaging this time.'
Jibon noticed that she's approaching, ”Braves… but foolish.” He rotates his staff rapidly and yelled, ”Pyro Ray!” Burst of flame lasered out of his staff, homing to Siola's direction.
*Bwooooost*
She tosses her summon seal to the back of the necromancer and quickly activates it. Something so obvious, of course, Jibon noticed it right away. He turned around and activates another spell, ”Fire Blast!”
*BOOOM*
He expected the draugr to be destroyed, but what he sees is none other than Siola herself, whose eyes bleeding with blood in sacrifice for the flames he just casted, to be reformed and redirected at him.
*BOOOM*
”Gwahk!” rotating in midair, he uses his exchange seal and switches place with one of the undead. Unfortunately, the one he switched place to is the one that is being pinned down by the two Draugr assassins that Siola prepared.
*Taks *Taks *Slash *Slice
The undead under his command quickly went towards them, *Baks *Bam *Bam, they managed to save him. However…
”Ngh, c-clever. But this is not the end yet.”
”No” mumbling as she walked towards him, she lifted her hand and grasped it at his whereabouts, ”This is the end…” his eyes widened as his vision went closer to Siola's direction. She used her [Telekinesis] spell and pulled him by his clothes.
*Thud*, landing flat on the ground, the man shivers.
With his defeat currently at hand, Siola mumbled one thing for his past action, ”Thanks.”
