Chapter 456 Did You Want To Become Anna’s Friend?

As the Holy Knights venture deeper into the forest, they stumble into something that should not be inside this dangerous forest. They find a petite girl with pale white skin and platinum hair.

Despite the strangeness of the girl, the Holy Knights didn't find the girl odd and only became more mesmerized each second they glanced at her. They feel like looking at their sacred maiden. In their eyes, the girl in front of them is too otherworldly to be described with words.

It is as if the knights witnessed a goddess descend upon them and were entirely enraptured by the girl's appearance.

The platinum-haired girl looked curiously at the incoming party while holding her black umbrella. Despite wearing weird gothic-style clothes, it doesn't reduce her charm and even enhances her gracefulness.

"Ehem… L-Little girl, Did you get lo.." said the holy knight leader as he tried to approach the girl.

*Sprrut* Before the holy knight leader finished his sentence, his whole body exploded and the girl suddenly appeared behind the leader. None of the blood touched her or even the umbrella in her hand.

A sixth-grade holy knight died just like that. This situation woke the other holy knights from the girl's charm and readied their weapons. However, each knight that tried to hold their weapon exploded into pieces leaving nothing but equipment, gruesome pieces of meat, and blood.

The remaining holy knights are shocked at this scene and fear the petite girl in front of them. The only reason they can survive is their slow reaction to wielding their weapon.

From dozens of holy knights, only a few holy knights managed to survive. For the first time in their lives, the surviving holy knights fear death after working as Holy knights for years.

They couldn't stop trembling and rooted at their spot. One of them even hyperventilates and gets a panic attack.

"Arghh!! Monste.. *Spruut*" The panicked holy knight exploded into pieces before he could finish his sentence.

Despite all the meat and blood smell permeated in the air, no other ferocious beast/monsters came to their location. It is like they subconsciously avoid the petite silver haired-girl. However, the remaining holy knights are too preoccupied to notice these things.

Currently, they feel like a guillotine blade on their neck. One wrong move and they will be gone. Still, the girl only looked at the holy knights with confused expressions and stayed silent.

Couldn't hold the deadly silent atmosphere, the last three holy knights decided to run away as fast as they could. They know they couldn't handle the monstrous girl before them and could only run for their life.

*Sprrutt* As soon as they moved their bodies, two holy knights exploded into pieces, leaving one last holy knight covered in blood. The last holy knight fell to the ground while trembling in fear.

He looks at the girl's enchanting deep green eyes and feels like his entire life memories flash in seconds. The girl nodded as if to understand something and wanted to finish the poor holy knight. During this moment, she heard a voice from the sky.

"Woooo… Anna is flying to the sky!!" yelled Anna from the sky.

*BAM* By sheer coincidence, she landed directly on the top of the poor holy knight and killed him from her landing force. The force is so great that it could create a crater and even destroy the holy knight's equipment.

Still, the silver-haired girl wasn't affected by this. There is not even dirt on her body despite the close distance from Anna's landing location.

After landing on the ground, "Yahooo.. Perfect landing!! Thank you!! Thank you!!" said Anna while bowing her head to the surroundings.

It is as if she just did a spectacular act and received cheers from the audience. During Anna's weird antic, she finally notices a silver-haired girl near her from Onyx. She finds Onyx is ready to have a life-death battle with the unknown girl in front of it.

"Ehh.. Is she dangerous?!" asked Anna innocently while talking to Onyx.

*Hishh* Onyx is hissing in a low voice while glaring at the gothic-styled girl in front of them. Then, Anna looks at the girl with a similar body size as her. Both of them keep looking at each other in silence.

The pitch-black eyes meet with the deep green eyes. After a moment, Anna blinks her eyes a few times.

"Did you want to become Anna's friend?" asked Anna directly.

The girl was surprised at the unexpected question and tilted her head.

"Friend?" asked the silver-haired girl back.

"Yup. If you become Anna's friend, we will play a lot. Anna will also share some of Anna's food but just a little bit!! No more than 1% that is as far as I can go." said Anna while suddenly talking about food.

Seeing Anna's antics, the silver-haired girl finds it funny and giggles in a low voice.

"So, did you want to become friends?" asked Anna again.

"Friend." replied the silver-haired girl with one word and nod.

"Yeyy… Anna finally has a friend. Wohooo… Anna needs to tell Angus and Big sis about this." said Anna before suddenly running in a certain direction.

Anna didn't notice that she had left her new friend behind without saying anything. Moreover, she didn't notice that the green-eyed girl could follow her despite her ridiculous running speed.

When the two girls run around, every monster/beast avoids them and even hides in fear. Even the mindless low-grade monsters escape or play dead as the two girls pass by. During this time, Angus and the others finally manage to kill all the attracted monsters and beasts.

Without wasting any more time, they go in Anna's direction while also searching for their missing member. The longer they left Anna alone, the more trouble she could create. Still, searching for someone inside this thick mist forest filled with many cunning creatures is not easy.

They had already lost count of how many hidden creatures they killed before they were able to launch a sneak attack. Not to mention searching for people. They couldn't even search for a way back. Angus and the others are completely lost inside this misty forest.

Now, all they can do is keep moving forwards. After another hour of walking, they find the mist thinner and a town with a strong wall and gate. The guards near the entrance seem to notice their presence and approach them.

"Ohh… It's rare for a group to travel during this thick mist. Anyway, welcome to the Craghost Town." welcomed the guard.

Angus and the others could feel the guards in front of them were not ordinary and had the power of at least a fifth-grade combatant. If it is just one guard, it is not a problem since in the Heart kingdom, they also employ at least one fifth-grade combatant on their borders.

However, they find every single guard nearby also in fifth grade. Although their number is not a lot, it is enough to pulverize any small kingdom completely. Yet, this kind of force is used just as a guard entrance.

Seeing this, Angus and Jayna couldn't help but remember Porros inside the Endless Battlefield. Porros city is a ridiculous city they have visited and known. No one has ever employed a sixth-grade combatant as a mere guard entrance.

Moreover, Porros has dozens of seventh-grade combatants, which is impossible to achieve. Compared to Porros, Craghost Town may look far behind. However, in Firuman's standard, it certainly belongs to one of the strongest city guards among other kingdoms.

The only kingdom that can use fifth-grade combatant as a mere guard entrance is only superior races like demons and elves. Even some demon race kingdoms couldn't just waste such manpower for a mere guard entrance.

The group is relieved when they finally arrive in town, except for Angus and Jayna. The couple looks at each other before deciding to go back to the forest direction.

"Where do you think you are going?" asked Aunt Extalia.

"We want to search for Anna." said Angus coldly.

At this moment, Angus' tone is entirely different from his usual calm and playful one. His voice feels so cold and distant. Ever since they separated from Anna, Angus has been getting restless each time passes by.

Inside this forest, he couldn't use [Mana Echolocation], which left him unable to detect the surroundings. Without knowing what is going to come, he feels out of control.

As a control freak, this place is already keeping Angus on his nerves. With the disappearance of Anna, he feels like things are getting worse and more frustrating.

Seeing Angus' aggressive behavior surprised Aunt Extalia, especially since it was the first time she found Angus reacted this way.

Ignoring the surprised Aunt Extalia, Angus and Jayna walk past her. Still, Aunt Extalia couldn't just let the couple walk into the forest again. It is already a miracle they can reach Craghost Town. Who knows if they can get to this place for the second time in this thick mist forest?

"Angus, calm down. Let's just enter the town first." said Aunt Extalia, grabbing his shoulder.

Just as Aunt Extalia grabs Angus' shoulder to stop him, "Remove your hand or I may not be able to hold back anymore!" said Angus coldly.

Then, Angus and Jayna immediately take out their weapon to fight against their aunt. Seeing that they are genuinely adamant in search for Anna, Aunt Extalia could only release a frustrated sigh.
