Chapter 39: Old Statue

39- Old Statue

Seeing that her apology did not work and anger was still clearly visible on my face, Armelia could not help but continue

I swear it was not intentional, I accidently used 50 % of my strength and thought you could handle it. As you were able to kill the man earlier who was fighting me and your speed is also much faster when compared to me. So, although I accidently hit you and thought it would not do anything to you. But I made a mistake. I am sincerely sorry.

With that Aremlia started sobbing, and the built-up water in her eyes, started flowing.

heh! This little girl started crying. I dont know if it is truly an accident or not. But one thing I know is that, now I am in no position to fight with her. I might be faster than her, but I am not stronger than her. So, if I confront her head-on, then I will only get injured and even my Resistance stat might decrease again, which I dont want to happen.

So, for now I can only tell her

Stop crying and listen to me. From now on you and I will maintain a distance of 5 meters. You are not allowed to get close to me.

Listening my words, Armelia wiped her tears and nodded quickly. Then she asked

Did you forgive me?

Armelia looked at me expectantly, but I sneered at her

Do you seriously think, I will forgive you? I just saved you from a wolf who was going to sneak attack you and I killed it. There was a Pack of wolves and its leader was a White Fang Wolf nearby, and the wolf shriek alerted those guys. And to save yours and my life, I ran carrying you desperately and as the wolves were about to catch up with us, with no other choice I had to jump. You might have been scared but if I did not jump then we would have become dinner for those pack of wolves.

And what did you do? you punched me and I got injured. Is that how badly you want to become dinner for wolves or is that how you say thanks to someone who saved you?

It is already a big deal that I did not fight with you or leave you here. But I just told you to maintain some distance. After we get out of here, you go your own way and I go mine. Thats it, dont expect anything else

I looked for a place, and sat down to relax and decrease my fatigue.

As I ran a lot, my fatigue also increased. Earlier I felt, higher the fatigued I got, more dangerous my situation became. Because, it felt that if I ran for few more minutes, my speed will slow down and I will be extremely tired. And the Agility stat will not help much. So, I realized that I need to increase my Stamina Stat and automatically my Fatigue limit will also increase.

Otherwise, if there is a situation similar to few minutes ago, and if my Stamina stat and Fatigue limit are not enough then I can only wait to get caught by enemies and be killed by them.

So, I added 5 Free stat points to Stamina. And started having some rest. But I was suddenly startled by the sounds

crumble

crumble

crash

I immediately grabbed the flashlight, and looked in the direction from which the sounds came.

I saw Armelia covering her head with her hands and sitting on the ground, it seemed she was scared by the sounds.

Then I looked next to her and saw that the Old mans statue was breaking and crumbling.

When I used flashlight on the Old mans statue, I saw something shine and reflect.

I immediately came near the Old mans statue, and I saw something was visible inside the Old mans chest where some cracks were formed. Littke by little, the Old mans statue was breaking and pieces were falling.

So, I used some force, and the Old mans statue completely broke.

I saw that the thing inside the Old mans statue was a scroll made of gold.
