Chapter 104 - Leaf Deer 1_3

"The kind one, please lend your help to me," the figure said.

After the words were spoken, an uproar emerged.

Almost all the guests at this party were astonished. Their eyes couldn't escape Gaia's figure, made of green light.

And yes, Gaia explained that she is in a critical condition. She also told Vier and the others about how she was in that circumstance.

Gaia was seriously injured while she was taking part in the war of the gods. 

Gaia plans to recuperate by slumbering. However, she didn't expect that Evil Gods' followers will assault her when she was in a helpless state. Thanks to the assault, Gaia becomes a hostage to the Evil Gods' followers.

In the end, the goddess of life, Gaia was used as a source of vitality to revive the Evil Gods.

The mission for Vier and the others can be guessed easily, they must defeat the followers of evil gods, free Gaia, and revive her

And as a Sub Quest, they also had to save Gaia's children.

Vier and Cabal accept Gaia's request.

They know extremely well the crisis faced by Gaia and the consequences that will occur if the Goddess of Life continued to be a hostage to the followers of the Evil Gods.

So, with that, Vier, Cabal, Anna, Lubov, Elizaveta, and Hatori get the Main Quest, The Titans.

"I wish you guys could complete this Quest," I told them with a smile.

Vier seemed to want to say something to me but he couldn't do it because the Lord of Rishtonbell called him.

The Lord was extremely excited when he found out an Adventurer's Party in his city was about to travel to save the world— no, scratch that.

The purpose of the Main Quest, the Titans is to resurrect the Goddess of Life, Gaia. 

Gaia is one of the six Prominent Gods. So... Saving Gaia is the same as saving the world?

...

I don't truly understand this goal of Main Quest. But! I understand that Vier and the other going on a thrilling adventure.

The episode that appeared was prolonged due to Gaia's appearance. Luckily, I was allowed to leave. I'm sleepy and I want my bed badly.

It was so late when I got home.

Ruciel was quite surprised when she saw me who was wearing a dress get off the bird-drawn carriage. She even mis-guesses and thought of me as a noble.

Ruciel's reaction was adorable as she tried to be polite to me. I like it a lot. But more than that, I'm happy to see her face and to be back home. 

Finally! I can sleep.

"Let me go!" Ruciel wailed or ordered.

My answer to that order? Well... I rejected it. I've been at pains to drag Ruciel this bed, forcing her to sleep with me without me having to say command is something hard to do. Therefore, there's no way I'll just let this chance go.

It's a rare opportunity and I don't want to let it end in a blink of an eye.

I slept well even though at first I struggled to close my eyes because Ruciel was so noisy.

...

The morning came and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

I completed my flight class and unfortunately, I didn't get the Skill, Engineer. I don't have a compatibility with that Skill.

So, finally, I had some free time, I decided to hunt down Leaf Deer.

Our Party members are like the previous ones but with the addition of Salsa and Vyorn. This party was ready to shake the Mist Forest Ebua

Cabal and the others?

After preparing for five days, finally, they began their journey to revive Gaia.

I say my goodbye and send them off with a smile.

They're going to make history.

I have a plan, when I have some free time, maybe I'll check their progress in the Main Quest.

But now! Back to the issues about Leaf Deer!

At this moment, my Party and I were exploring the misty forest. Yup! We were inside the Mist Forest Ebua.

We've been exploring this place before. Therefore, we will not be lost as before. And I can say with confidence, we won't be swallowed up by illusions anymore.

Why?

Because each of us uses Magic Equipment, Accessories that have Dark Magic Resistance.

"You know, this is a waste of money, why would you buy such expensive accessories in bulk if you only need them once?"

"Isn't the answer to that question obvious? I bought these accessories because I needed them."

"You're too spend drift, you know that?"

"All this is for our safety," I explained. "If we can avoid danger with money. Why don't we do it?"

"Even so, you must learn to use your money wisely. Staying with you made me realize how bad you are at taking care of your finances."

"That's too much trouble." My ears twitch when I think about my financial planning. I don't want to do that thing Therefore, "What if you do it for me?"

"Don't throw trouble at others!"

With such chitchat, we walked inside the mist forest. Our destination is the deepest part of this forest, a place where Leaf Deer lives.

The Illusions and Decaying Illusion Peshrooms in this forest are no longer a threat to us. But that doesn't mean the threats disappear completely.

Threats are always there and now, one of them shows up to greet us.

My Heat Perception is level three. Therefore, I can detect heat within a radius of sixty meters. And thanks to that, I was able to detect a threat that was in the form of five monsters. 

They approached us quickly.

"Five monsters coming from the north, get ready," I warned my party and I unsheathed the Silver Spear.

"How long will they arrive?" Ruciel asked.

"Less than a minute."

Ruciel nodded. "Salsa, Vyorn, get ready. We can trust the claim of this stupid girl."

Ruciel's words were able to convince our new members. They prepared and drew their weapons. As for the kids, they were already prepared to face the monsters that came.

Not long after, five Leaf Wolf show themselves from within the bushes and behind the trees.

They send their claw and fang to us with strong killing intent.

"I'm going to confront two monsters on the right side. Please take care of the other three monsters." After speaking, I ran up to the Leaf Wolves. 

I used all my capacity when I ran and I was surprised.

I'm so fast!

Triple-digit AGI is incredible. Thanks to it, I was able to get close to those monsters in an instant- or no. 

To be honest, I felt like I was running for quite a while before I got in front of these monsters. However, on the other hand, the monsters moved so slowly as I ran. 

And even they're still moving so slowly now.

So, in my perspective, I'm not getting faster at all but the world is slowing down. However, I'm sure, the others who see me will believe I'm fast.

It's quite confusing and let's forget about it.

There are monsters I have to kill.

I swung my spear to stab the heads of two Leaf Wolf. The monsters couldn't dodge and I didn't get any counterattacks from them. 

They die just like that, in seconds.

They're too slow to do anything.

And I can say, this is the easiest fight that's ever come to me. 

With my fight over, I decided to take a look at Kimi and the others' fight.

Yes... They were still trying to defeat those monsters. Kimi and Alan team up to face a Leaf Wolf. Ruciel faces one monster and Vyorn does the same. Chloe and Salsa who were in the backline were ready to give support.

Minutes passed and the fight was over.

"This is so strange, why are you becoming so strong in such a short period?" Ruciel asked.

"...because my level is up."

"..." Ruciel looked at me without saying anything.

At the same time, I didn't say another answer. 

I'm being honest here, half of it at last.

Our conversation stopped and I could say this is nice. Thanks to it, I was spared from Ruciel's interrogating eyes.

Our journey continued after we retrieved the Magic Stones and the precious parts of the Leaf Wolf.

In the middle of our journey, the monsters came in turn.

They become training targets for me.

I'm trying to get used to the new strengths I've got. The explosion of Stat Points that I got after evolving made my body hard to control, again.

Often I use inflated strength when attacking the monsters and vice versa. 

This was a disaster.

But in the end, after thirty-eight monsters, my efforts paid off. I managed to adjust myself to my new strength.

Not only that, but my level also went up.

< Level up! 1 to 2 >

< Level up! 2 to 3 >

Great! I grow stronger and...

"We finally reached the center of the Mist Forest Ebua."

In front of me was an open space that was also can be called a grassland. This place is so beautiful. Especially when a huge tree stands tall in the middle of this grassland.

The white fog didn't envelop this grassland, they couldn't get close to this place. Because of that, they became the high walls surrounding this place.

And yes, Leaf Deer, the monster I'm looking for is here.

Leaf Deer has horns made of dark green gems. Its body is colored light leaf green with white on the stomach. The monster's tail was large, its size was almost close to an adult's body, and it is dark green.

Leaf Deer is pretty big. It had a height of three meters and a body length approaching five meters. It was getting more intimidating because its body looked quite muscular.

At this moment, the monster was under a huge tree, it was eating the grass growing in there.

But the peace was only a moment.

The monster moved its head to look at us. A moment later, its horns began to glow.

"All of you, get ready!" I shouted.
