Chapter 120 - DEBT OF A LIFETIME (1/2)

IN THE SKY

A FEW HOURS LATER

The wind breezes by the golden chariot.

Sometimes aerial monster would try to attack the chariot traversing through the clouds, but each time they will be shot down by a streak of fire.

Inside that golden chariot there are four people. Two of them in perfect health, one is injured, while another is lying on a stretcher.

'You know are you sure we should leave her alive?' Sofia asked again looking at Sasha lying on the stretcher inside the chariot.

Sometimes Sasha will open her eyes but when she is tired she would closes her eyes. This is the side effect of the Potion she drank. The backlash is terrifying and painful.

Sina then chuckles.

'I thought Azief had already made his decision. I follow our leader'

'Still, it sounds like a stupid decision.' Sofia said as she glares looking at Azief back.

'You also agreed.' Sina said as she is pouting

'Because of you…but I still found it hard that she saves your life. Why won't you tell us how? Maybe that will affect my feelings.'

'I will tell you later' Sina once again deflect that question

Right now, Azief, Sina, Sofia and Sasha are inside a golden chariot flying through the white clouds.

Azief was at the front looking in front, scanning for threats and killing monsters when necessary.

Sometimes his eyes shoot fireballs towards flying creatures and they were burned into crisp.

Sometimes a saber appears and vortex of winds strikes down the monsters. Other time Azief uses his Death Fist and turning the monsters into dust.

With Azief strength, there is rarely a monster on air that could hold him down for long. If there is, Azief would already sense the monsters and steer on other directions.

The chariots travels through the clouds in a relaxingly pace.

The reason is because the energy is from Energy Crystals that Sina had. The chariot had a slot that could use external energy and doesn't have to always use the owner energy.

But Azief is still puzzled how on earth that Sina would have possession of the chariot instead of Sasha?

This is a Bloodbound Artifact. Unless given willingly this chariot will always belongs to Sasha unless she is dead.

If Azief went flying alone he could have arrived in the village in about an hour ago.

But the reason he stayed is because of Sina condition and because he is still wary of Sasha.

Even though Sasha is now just a weakling, Azief will learn not underestimate her again.

There is also the fact that the story of Sash saving Sina life is still vague and Sina doesn't seem like she is in a mood to share.

Sofia was beside Sina applying herbs and ointments on her wounds. Sina was sitting beside Sasha stretcher.

'How're you feeling Sofia?' ask as she is applying an ointment on Sina knee.

There is a scratch wound on her knees.

Even though Lee Sangmin did heal her injuries but the poison of the beast Sina and Sasha fought is not that easily erased or cured.

After a few hours without healers, the injury will resurface.

This is the problem with the source of her injuries and not in any part the fault of Lee Sangmin healers.

Smiling Sina replies.

'Been a hell of a lot worse. If I can return to my Alchemy lab, I can fix myself up with some really nice stuff.'

Azief turn his face back to check up on Sina condition from time to time and he smiles proudly.

'You did good. You did real good' Azief voice reached Sina ears. Sina smiles and ask

'It's nothing. Though next time I should wear that armour that you give me every day. It seems our life will not be as peaceful as I thought. And here I thought after Azief turns to Seed Forming we will have no enemy. Instead he manages to find one. Haii' Sina then laugh

And hearing this Sofia couldn't help but chuckles a bit.

'Blame our resident troublemaker here' Sofia said as she glances at Azief and Azief coughs embarrassedly as he look in front again

'Anyway, thank you Sina.' Hearing this Sina was puzzled

'Thank you for what?' she ask

Azief turn his head and look at Sina in front of his eyes, battered, beaten….but alive. And that fills him with gratitude.

'Thanks...for being alive.' Sina hearing this was shocked and touched in her heart. Sofia also smiles a bit.

'You know, sometimes you act like a softie, Azief. I'm not familiar with this new you.'

Azief chuckles.

'Get used to it'

Sofia on the other hand still looks at the unconscious figure of Sasha and clicked her tongue.

'Azief, you really would spare her? She nearly took the life of our Sina. I say we off her.'

'Sofia!' Sina shouted shooting a glare to Sofia.

'What? She did try to kill you.'

'She kidnaps me. There is a difference.'

'Oh yeah.' Sofia replied sarcastically.

'Oh, yeah, that's the dream. Being kidnapped. Sure, we just let her off. Kidnapping is better. It is loads better. You do know that she kidnapped you intending to sell you to the World Government right? After our last fiasco with the World government, are you sure that bastard Hirate won't just fry your mind with his creepy mind powers?'

Sina sighed

'I know. She told me.'

'Then, what's the problem? What is the matter with you? Are you suffering from Stockholm syndrome or something?'

Sina look at the lying Sasha, gasping for air, trembling in her muscles and cold sweats on her forehead and she said.

'What we experienced in that forest….is not something you can imagine.'

Azief look at Sina his gaze burns like asking her the question he wanted to ask but Sina said

'In the Forest Region, there is a secret. A dark secret. A dangerous secret. I will not tell you here. Too dangerous.'

Azief just look at Sina for a while and nodded and then he turn his direction back to the front.

'Azief?' Sofia turned to Azief as she becomes more exasperated with Sina behavior.

'Sina want me to spare her. I'll spare her.'

'Is that it? Just because she said to spare her you'll spare her. I didn't know you were an obedient little boy. Hmph' Sofia humphed in dissatisfaction

'That's not all.' And Azief look at Sasha deeply and there is still anger in his eyes but he contains it.

'Every time I look at her face, I will remember. Every time I become cocky or overconfident, I will look at her face, and I'll remember. I'll remember what happens when I underestimate my enemy. If only for that reason, I'll spare her.'

'Anyway, now that we are talking Sofia tell me about the Seven Fairy.' Sofia was corking the vials of the blue ointment and she replied saying

'You should ask Loki about it. He's the one who stole the documents from the World Government threat list.'

'I can't really ask him right now could I?'

'Who told you to punish him?'

'I was angry.'

Sina who did not understand anything ask Sofia

'Azief angry at Loki? What did he do now?' Sofia eyes brightened and then she started spilling everything to Sina

After finishing telling the story, Sina look at Azief and ask
