25 Temporary Separation (1/2)

[Later]

Solo, Luka, and Alice were leaving from San Ilia after resting for some hours, Luka completely recovered from Solo's presence, now they were travelling towards Safina, a desert region at west.

Luka: Let's go!

Solo: ...Guys…

Luka and Alice were curious about what he wanted to say so they listened.

Solo: I think I will go a bit alone for a while.

Luka: Why this sudden change? You don't want to travel with us anymore?

Solo: No, I want to know the place a bit for myself, maybe I find something interesting , we will meet some time later at Sabasa Castle.

Alice: Nn, I know how you are feeling, then we will meet there…

Luka: Bye Solo.

Then Solo disappeared with a sonido, leaving Luka and Alice travelling alone.

[some minutes later]

Solo appeared in a green plain, away from San Ilia, and it was near the desert.

Solo: I missed this silence… Time to visit places!

Then Solo started to walk while looking around, but some seconds later he was ambushed from a sort of minotaur girl who was wielding a giant axe.

Minotaur: Oh? A traveler, and unbaptized too… I'll milk you dry with my strength!

Then the Minotaur raised her menacingly, and brought it down, Solo didn't even blinked, and the axe was destroyed from Solo's skin, he didn't even used Hierro.

The minotaur and Solo were motionless for some moments until the minotaur started sweating bullets.

Minotaur: ...Can you not kill me?...

Solo: Nope.

Then Solo swung his arm forward, and the minotaur was instantly split in two, and died just like that.

Solo just whistled and walked away while looking forward.

[later]

Solo just left from a forest, and stopped there, he turned his head to a certain direction and found a red spot in a bush nearby.

Solo: *Sigh* Get out… Your hiding skills sucks…

?: W-What?! How did you find me?!

Solo: I told you, your hiding skills sucks, and I can sense around a dozen of kilometers away from me with Pesquisa.

?: *Sigh*

Then from the bush, Granberia appeared.

Solo: So, why were you following me since a quarter of hour ago?

Granberia: So you found me since the start… Well, I wanted to ask you… If you could train me!

Solo: Let me comprehend what you just said… You want me to train you… So you can defeat me faster?

Granberia: ...No, I talked to Tamamo about this, and I know what you are capable of, I know that I will always be out of your league, so at least I want to be stronger than what I am currently.

Between the 4 Heavenly Knights, I am the weakest, just a bit weaker than Alma Elma, Tamamo is one of the 6 Ancestors, and Erubetie has really strong attacks… So I wish I could really be on par with them…
