Chapter 81: Train Ride (3)

"Argh... do you two mind getting off?" YuWon mumbled, trying to pull his arms back.

But when he tried, he heard a familiar sound coming from Gina. He tried moving the other and Lysandra reacted the same.

Only then did YuWon realize the awkward situation they were in. His one hand was stuck deep in Gina's cleavage while the other was up Lysandra's dress.

"Now... is not the place..." Gina mumbled, her face flushed.

"Honestly, savior, you should control yourself." Lysandra cleared her throat before swatting his hand away. "Now is not the time to think with the wrong head!"

YuWon was about to defend himself when he realized they were intentionally teasing him. Those vixens, his sister was missing, and they were focused on teasing him.

"It's not like I did it on purpose," he muttered. "Not that I won't do it again."

YuWon ignored their smiles and giggles and looked at their surrounding. The scene looked familiar, and it didn't take more than a second for YuWon to know where they were.

"We're on the damn train," he sighed.

It was the train the others had boarded during their trial. He wasn't expecting to see it again, but there they were. But before they could say anything more, YuWon's eyes landed on something ahead.

"Yeji!" YuWon exclaimed, running towards her.

Gina and Lysandra dropped all pretense of fun and ran behind him. YuWon kneeled beside Yeji and gently pressed two fingers to her neck, checking for a pulse. Thankfully, it was fine, and she was breathing normally.

YuWon breathed a sigh of relief, but no matter how much he tried, she wasn't waking up.

"What did they do to her?" he snarled. "I swear I'll kill them all once I get my hands on them."

"Savior, let me try something."

With that, Lysandra kneeled beside him and placed a hand over Yeji's forehead before whispering something. Her hand glowed and a moment later Yeji's eyes shot open. She looked at them, confused.

"W-What's happening?"

Before anyone said anything, YuWon flicked her forehead lightly. Gina and Lysandra couldn't help but chuckle at Yeji's reaction.

"Leave the other side to us," Lysandra urged, standing before YuWon.

YuWon jumped ahead, drawing his twin crimson blades. He met them head-on, swinging the blades. On the other side of the carriage, Lysandra had summoned her vines, turning them into sharp needles.

With a flick of her fingers, the vines shot forward like missiles. The vines impaled the attackers with deadly accuracy. One after another, they fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

"They're too weak," Lysandra said. "Their hunger makes sense now."

"Less talking, more killing," Gina mumbled as she ran past her.

She lunged at the nearest attacker, her sharp claws gouging the guy's eyes out. Blood splattered on the floor, but Gina didn't stop and kept swiping away, finishing those who were on the ground.

"These guys are annoying," Gina growled. "What kind of dungeon is this?"

What started as ten enemies soon became dozens. They kept killing them, but more of them kept coming for more. Suddenly, a quest notification popped before YuWon's eyes.

[Mission: Protection.]

[Task: Protect the train till the next stop.]

[Remaining time: 10 minutes.]

[Reward for completion: None.]

[Punishment for failure: Death.]

"You saw that?" YuWon yelled back, ensuring they all knew what they had to do. "Keep it up for ten more minutes."

Just then, another attacker lunged at YuWon, but he sidestepped and severed the man's head before kicking him away.

"This is easy," Gina smirked, wiping blood off her face. "A good way to get rid of pent-up anger."

"Keep at it!" Lysandra chimed in, using her vines to claim another life... if it could even be called that anymore.

Unlike them, Yeji could only think about one thing. The child... he was already dead. She had no doubts about it.
