Chapter 178: 1000 Points (IV)

"What are those shadows?" 

Daphne Camellia shouted when she saw the shadows holding down the magical beasts for them to fire their magic spell.

"Fireball" Zen shouted and burned the magical beast into crisp. At the same time, his orb was getting close to 1000 points.

"Those shadows are my summons," Zen said slowly when Daphne Camellia continued to annoy him for an answer.

"Bullshit, summons are usually only one creature with a maximum of three but you have like a whole army of shadows." Daphne Camellia retorted.

Meanwhile, Evie held a solemn expression as she glanced at Zen briefly. 

'Hymn of Death… as expected of you to be able to learn this spell instantly. After all, you were the creator of this spell, to begin with until that incident occurred.' Evie heaved a soft sigh as she smiled bitterly.

"Daphne, that's the Hymn of Death with numerous possibilities so no need to be doubtful anymore." Evie lectured Daphne Camellia to stop making a scene.

Being lectured by Evie, Daphne Camellia could only grit her teeth as she made a pouting expression.

Zen chuckled softly and looked at Krista Dragoon. "How many points do you currently have?"

"About 700 something." Krista Dragoon replied and showed him her orb.

"Then it's about time we meet them," Zen smirked.

"Meet who?" Daphne Camellia raised her eyebrow slightly as she asked Zen. She didn't know who else they're going to meet, especially when Zen doesn't have any other companion besides everyone here.

"This is why I always tease you." Zen smiled and patted her head, almost like an adult spoiling a little girl.

Before Daphne Camellia could punch him, Zen explained, "Our orb currently has so many points, meaning the enemies can now see our location. Now, what do you think would happen when they see so many points gathered in one spot?"

Daphne Camellia paled when she realized the implication of having so many points in their orb. She has been focusing on getting points to escape but forgot about Stuart mentioning that your location would be revealed to everyone else once it reached a certain amount of points.

"What do we do now?" Daphne Camellia asked with nervousness. 

Although she was always confident in her ability, fighting hundreds of mages at once was an impossible task for her because she does not have enough mana to endure a long battle.

"Sigh, just why did you regard me as a rival when you never used your brain to think for a second." Morgan Pelora suddenly said with a tinge of disappointment on her.

Daphne Camellia's face became red from embarrassment when even Morgan Pelora started judging her.

"Pfft-" Leila Dragoon also couldn't help herself any longer as she started laughing at Daphne Camellia. She may be the youngest in this group but at least her calm-collected mindset was superior to Daphne Camellia.

"Hmph, don't you dare laugh at me just because you're a princess." Daphne Camellia pointed her finger at Leila Dragoon and threatened her slightly.

Leila Dragoon stuck her tongue out and made a silly face to respond. "I'm a princess but at least I use my brain well unlike you, who only tremble in fear of enemies."

Krista Dragoon didn't want the argument to escalate so she hurriedly grabbed Leila Dragoon from behind. 

"Enough Leila, we don't have time to argue when the enemy is about to arrive. Don't forget, we're all women here and beautiful on top of that. Those enemies would not simply let us go after stealing our points." Krista Dragoon said with a serious expression and Leila Dragoon lowered her head slightly.

"Yes, Leila was wrong." Leila Dragoon said in a low tone.

Meanwhile, Zen cleared his throat softly to remind the women that he was here as well. He was a man and the spiritual leader of this group because of his overwhelming army that can go scouting and detain enemies at the same time.

"You can keep your mouth shut as you are just a lazy bum with some extraordinary luck to learn the Hymn of Death." Daphne Camellia scoffed at him, causing Zen to twitch his mouth slightly.

'L-Lazy bum....' Zen was rendered speechless by the adjectives being labeled at him. He was a hard-working man that got up to this point by skills and not just some luck

RUMBLE!

"Seems like the enemies arrived faster than we expected." Evie retrieved a cup of tea to drink as she smiled in amusement.

Obviously, she could prevent the enemies from even taking a step closer to their group but Evie is curious about something.

'Just how powerful did you get after staying in that labyrinth.' Evie laughed inwardly as she prepared to spectate Zen's ability.

"Don't worry about the enemies since I have already scattered my shadows around. They are lurking in the darkness and once the enemies decide to show up, then we would know who's the prey and who's the predator." Zen licked his lip maliciously as he doesn't mind killing all of them if they didn't just want to steal the points.

The rest of the women nodded their heads as they grouped together with their backs touching each other so they could defend from all sides.

However, Evie remained in her position as she retrieved a chair to sit down, almost like this fight has nothing to do with her.

"What are you doing Madam Evie? Hurry up and group with us so you won't be in danger." Daphne Camellia exclaimed when she saw Evie is out in the open without any barrier.

She may be a little bit spoiled or even annoying but she wouldn't just allow her companion to die in front of her.

"Hehe, I know you are kind-hearted on the inside but I have confidence in Zen that he wouldn't allow any enemies to get close to me. Right Zen?" Evie laughed heartily as she glanced at Zen.

Zen shook his head slightly and chuckled. "You're not wrong because I will decimate them all before they can even get close to you."
