Chapter 233

233 Battle Goddess

Somewhere, far away from their field of vision and perception range, Randy silently observed the group.

At this moment, his gaze was focused on the young woman dressed in green battle clothes that highlighted her attractive body figure.

The young woman with the green clothes had silky blonde hair tied neatly behind her back, and her pretty and exuberant green eyes shone like a pair of spotless emerald stones.

Her figure, appearance, and looks were all stunning. One could even say that she was a peerless beauty, as she even carried this elegant and noble air around her that draws in anyone who stares at her.

Moreover, she carried herself as a mature and responsible person who genuinely cares about her comrades based on Randy’s observation. Because, even though she looked just as tired as everyone else on her team, she still decided to stay behind to fend off the swarm of about 2-300 magical beasts that were madly charging toward them.

Randy felt a tinge of admiration towards her, but that was all. He still planned to observe them for a bit.

Considering that they are all Dungeon Hunters, he would only help them when they really needed his help. Otherwise, it would only look like he was stealing their prey.

As he pondered, the green-clothed young woman spoke up again with a loud but stern voice.

“Just listen to me and leave! We don’t have much time left! I am the strongest member of our team, and also the Leader! I am greatly confident in being able to stall these magical beasts! On the other hand, if we all stay here, we can only wait for our eventual death! Do you understand?!”

.....

“...”

‘That’s right. Big Sis Sylvana is the strongest, so she should be fine fighting a few magical beasts with her matchless combat skills. However, the number of magical beasts this time is just too much. Even she might not survive it with her injuries from the previous battle.’ The other team members thought to themselves with reluctance in their gazes.

However, to Randy’s surprise, there was one person, who was relatively calm despite their dire situation. They weren’t as nervous as the other two members who had grim expressions on their faces.

This person was a black-haired girl who wielded two pairs of black daggers that exuded deadly dark mana. Her eyes were cold, and her face was expressionless as she stared at their leader who was giving out her orders, seemingly contemplating something.

“Liena, you should take the others away with you as you’re the strongest besides me.” The green-clothed young woman turned and said to the black-haired girl.

“...” The black-haired girl did not immediately reply, as she still seemed to be contemplating her decision.

A few moments later, she helplessly sighed and hesitantly spoke in reply: “Okay, Big Sis Sylvana.”

Their leader finally smiled with a pleased expression when she heard her response.

She was worried that she would disagree with her decision, and they would all end up dying a meaningless death here by accompanying her. After all, they were all young maidens, and a young man, who hadn’t lived for long, unlike her, who was much older than them and experienced more things in her life. Therefore, she did not mind losing her life here if the others could survive this ordeal.

Afterward, she quickly urged them once again: “Alright, you should get going! The magical beasts are almost here! If you stay here any longer, you’ll only get in my way!”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Thus, two out of the three members turned to leave, leaving only one person behind.

“...I’m sorry, Big Sis. We’ll definitely bring back reinforcement from the Society right away. Please don’t die before then.” A young girl with a staff in her grasp weakly said to her in assurance.

“Haha... Don’t worry, Hanalta. I won’t die so easily, so carry on with the others. Don’t dawdle behind the others or you might be left behind by them. And all my effort would go to waste.” The green-clothed young woman laughed and said to her.

“O-okay. Please be safe, Big Sis.” The young girl named Hanalta reluctantly turned around and followed the others.

The green-clothed young woman watched the figures of her team members disappear before she finally loosen her stern expression and let out a depressed sigh.

‘I guess this would be my end. I only have one regret... I wish I could’ve stayed with the others some more... At least, until they had grown up...’

After this thought, she pulled out from her back, a luxurious and stylish bow with intricate engravings on its body. She then took out three arrows from her quiver and knocked them on the bow. Her intentions were very resolute.

Afterward, she took a deep breath, and then she pulled and aimed at the closest magical beast that approached her location.

After she pulled the string along with the arrows and secured her target, she let out a breath as she released the three arrows effortlessly, which whistled through the air shortly after.

Piu!

With this sound as a prelude to carnage, the three arrows struck a bull-faced magical beast in the head, killing it instantly.

The green-clothed young woman skillfully put the bow and arrows away and proceeded to draw out a blue steel dagger from her waist and immediately charged forward while brandishing it.

Making use of her high dexterity and agility, she moved exquisitely and precisely as she pounced on one magical beast after another instantly killing them with one blow each.

Whenever one of her weapons becomes useless or difficult to take out of a magical beast after an attack, she would instantly switch to a new type of weapon and then proceed back to her killing spree.

Furthermore, each time she took out a different weapon, her battle style changes drastically, as if she was some kind of goddess of battle who had mastery over all weapons.

Moreover, most of these magical beasts were C-Rank and she was a B-Rank Dungeon Hunter, so there was no way she would lose to these kinds of magical beasts.

Not to mention that with her experience of having fought these magical beasts numerous times, she naturally knew of their weakness and how to quickly and efficiently deal with them.

Therefore, the hunting of these magical beasts could not be considered actual combat, but rather, it was more like carnage- A carnage of magical beasts.

Despite that, her movement was beginning to slow down as she fought about 20 magical beasts within mere 3 minutes.

This made sense, as no matter how powerful or skillful she was, she was only one person, and sooner or later, she would run out of stamina. Not to mention that she was already exhausted from having fought other magical beasts before this.

...

Meanwhile, Randy silently observed her in the distance with a solemn expression.

‘She’s not bad. To be able to fight in such a way in that state. I suppose she’s used to battle. If she wasn’t already exhausted, I assume she could’ve easily taken care of these magical beasts by herself.’ Randy inwardly commented in admiration.
