Chapter 202: CHAPTER 201 - Sonam's Dead.

Ridha had been trying her hardest to reach Alex for a while, only to be obstructed by one thing or another, being unable to reach him.

But when she finally got the chance to meet Alex, a new scenario popped up—the second sub-scenario.

If that was not enough to stop her, things became worse as Alex became the guardian. He was killing anyone who came close to him, making it impossible for her to reach him once again.

Looking at the situation and knowing that Alex wasn't that far away from her, she started to level up, killing as many beasts as she could, setting many zones ablaze, whipping out every living being within them.

Soon, it was revealed that Alex could now move and was on a run, making Ridha anxious.

Would she lose him again? Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

That's what she thought since there was no way she would be able to find him if he were to stay hidden.

Her god could help her point the direction only if the one she was looking for wasn't hiding. If they were hiding, then she couldn't do anything, as it would mean that her patron god was directly interfering with the humans, which wasn't allowed.

In an attempt to find Alex, she jumped into every zone she found, trying to look for Alex, hoping that he was within one of them. She pushed her body hard enough that even her healing didn't hurt her more than what her body normally did.

Her muscles would tremble in pain from the slightest movement from her. She didn't give up, though; she still worked for what she wanted to do, only to find herself falling unconscious.

Yes, she had pushed her body so far that it gave up on even functioning.

But after what seemed like a short nap to her, Ridha woke up, only to find out that a day had passed by and that she had missed out on a lot of things.

It was still surprising how she was still alive after falling unconscious in the open without a friend or beast helping her out, but that was not something she really cared about.

If she was alive, then she should be moving toward Alex again, and she did just that, going to where Alex was as it was the best time to do it now.

He was letting anyone try to enter the area where he used to kill people for even stepping close, so there couldn't be any time better than this.

She had 'some' coins in her possession—the ones she had thought of using to upgrade her stats even more, but now she had better use for them.

But just as she was about to reach that location, she saw a girl running into her; she seemed to be running away from something.

["Do not let her run away!"]

Her patron god's voice echoed in her mind, but she had already made a move even before she heard that. If someone was running away from here, then, of course, it has to be related to Alex, and if it were related to Alex, then she had to be utmost careful of what she does.

*Woosh*

She used her maximum speed to zoom toward the black-haired girl, giving her a karate chop on the back of her neck, causing the girl, Sonam, to fall to the ground with her eyes going blank.

"Akh!"

This was all she could do, as the power difference between Risha and her was huge.

Ridha then turned to look at the direction this woman came from, and she instantly knew where she had to go.

It was then that the rusted scent of blood made its way to her nose, causing her body to tense up and her steps to turn cautious.

Was Alex injured? Such a thought flashed past her mind. The intensity of the blood's scent, however, didn't seem to be something that would come out of an injury, causing her worry to elevate.

But as she moved forward, something clicked in her mind.

The scent of blood and a person trying to run away from the spot—all of this could only mean one thing: Alex was the one responsible for the smell instead of being the one who shed the blood.

This woman was probably someone who was running away from Alex and a partner of the one Alex had killed.

If that were the case, though, then there was a chance that Alex might mistake her for an enemy and kill her even before he got to see her, so she hurriedly voiced out.

"P-Please don't attack. I'm not an enemy!"

But even after doing that, she couldn't help but feel like she could lose her life the moment she tried to do something strange.

Soon, she was standing out of the bush as she dragged Sonam along with her, pulling the girl by the hair as if she were some baggage or something like that, and then she finally saw him face-to-face.

The man who saved her when no one did—her one and only prince, and he was charming to boot.

She had always wanted to fall for someone good-looking, and Alex was the best of the best she had ever seen. With the fact that he saved her life, pulling her out of the most despairing situation, she did fall for him.

Yes, she knew that the chances of having her feelings reciprocated by Alex were not something she could hope for right now—maybe it was possible in the long run, but for now, it wasn't—but she wasn't someone who wanted Alex to love her back.

Ridha just wanted to stay beside Alex. She was fine even if Alex didn't look at her the way she wanted; she was fine even if Alex had someone else in his heart.

She just wanted him to smile at her and not look at her with the same cold eyes as he does the others.

Ridha could see the flicker of recognition in Alex's eyes, making her happier that he hadn't forgotten her but sad at the same time, as the only memory of Alex she had was right next to the worst memory of her life, reminding her of the moments she never wanted to recall.

But just then, her eyes caught sight of the arrow that was pointed at her, and she hurriedly raised her hands in surrender.

"I-I'm not here to fight!"

He exclaimed in a hurry before Alex could misunderstand something.

"I'm Ridha, the girl you saved during the second tutorial!"

She went ahead and introduced herself, but looking at Alex's arrow, which was still aimed at her, she realized something.

"O-Oh, yes. I found this girl running toward me, so I decided to bring her back to you. But since I didn't know what your intentions for her were, I brought her to you."

She spoke as she slowly moved forward, slowly dragging Sonam closer to Alex. The guy's eyes squinted, but he didn't say anything.

"Drop her."

It was only when Ridha reached around 4 or 5 meters away from Alex that he asked her to drop Sonam.

"A-Alright!"

Ridha, who heard his voice, nodded her head and moved away from Alex with her hands up in the air.

*Woosh*

The moment she did that, she saw the arrow knocked on Alex's bow getting released. That was all she could see, as the arrow was too fast for her.

The next thing she knew was that Sonam, whose chest was heaving with a rhythmic pace a while ago, had blood pooling below her as she lay dead on the ground with a gaping hole in her head. Sonam, the only person who had been able to guess the spot where the egg was hidden, was now dead.

*Woosh*

'So that's what the famous death arrow looks like, huh?'

But then she saw the arrow, which was famous for killing people even before they could guess where it was, floating in the air at a slow pace as if telling her that it was keeping an eye on her.

She didn't even spare a glance at Sonam, who was now dead because of her. The world could burn for all she cares.

No one came to save her when her world was about to get destroyed other than Alex, so why would she care about anyone other than Alex?

"Did she say something to you?"

Alex, on the other hand, wasn't done with the questioning.

He could tell the truth and lie apart, so he knew that Ridha wasn't an accomplice of Sonam, but what if Sonam had told Ridha about the egg at the last moment?

As said before, he wouldn't kill her, sure, but if she proved to be dangerous to him, then he would definitely do it. He wouldn't let a dangerous enemy go, even if killing them meant offending some major gods.

"Hm, no. I didn't give her the chance to say anything."

It was only when he heard Ridha's answer that he relaxed. She told the truth.
