Chapter 41: Steal
Eli casually walks into the forest while fighting sounds can be heard around the forest, but he just gathers some dry branches.
'I need more branches.....'
*****
Rose, Adria, and Lilith sat on the table while sipping tea as they looked at Mia and Zera's fighting and Eli's branch-collecting process in a holographic display.
"Hmm..." Rose was fidgeting.
"What is it, Rose?" Adria asked but she did know what is going to ask.
"Well...who is she?" Rose was curious about Lilith because, from the very beginning Lilith hasn't spoken anything, she acts very elegant and familiar with Adria.
"She...is my friend" Adira said as shot a glance at Lilith but Lilith just stared only at Eli while thinking, 'Maybe I should try summoning a beast like her but I can't call something this weak, sigh...being overpowered sometimes is not good...'.
"I see" Rose nodded and introduced herself, "Hello, My name is Rose Dawn".
"..." Lilith still didn't care anything.
"...sigh, she cannot speak" Adria had tried expression, 'What am I going to do with her?'.
"Oh, I am sorry" Rose misunderstood.
Still, Lilith didn't look at Rose and Rose just shrugged off then turned to look at Mia.
'What happened to her?' Adria thought as she saw Lilith's obsessive expression.
"They have already killed each 10: 1 and 2 Star Rank monsters" Rose said as she looked at Mia who was performing very well.
"Hmm" Adria nodded and then looked at Eli who was still collecting the branch, "What is he doing?".
Hearing that, Rose finally looked at Eli's weird behavior, 'he just placed the branches everywhere on the land'.
"Oh, he is finally moving" Adria almost guessed what he was up to.
*****
"I guess, Your big brother backed off" Zera said while pulling out the long black katana sword in the monster's chest.
"Don't talk like that about my big brother" Mia said with a little anger while taking the Monster's soul crystal.
"Ha....Come on Mia, we already finished 1-3 Star Rank monsters and he still didn't show up"
"...."
Veins popped on Zera's head.
"So, you guys finished hunting 1-5 Star monsters?" Eli asked carefreely.
Zera's lip twitched and about to say something but,
"No, we only hunted up 3-Star monsters" Mia interrupted them with a big smile but Eli just nodded and turned to walk away.
Seeing this Mia turned gloomy as she bit her lips, "Big Brother.." she called him sadly.
Noticing this, Zera sighed and patted her back, 'I did hear the details. Even if he lost his memories that doesn't mean he can mean to his sister or....to anyone'.
"Hunt faster girls"
Zera was really annoyed as they started hunting again.
*****
"I did expect him to use this but this....is really strong" Adria muttered with....smugness?
"You think so Adria, I think it may work against monsters but..." Rose doubted.
"Yes, It won't work against the transcendental people but even so...his control over the earth element is really great" Adria was impressed as she thought about his plan.
'He first collected the branches, he then used his technique to add fire and sand inside them.
Then added explosive minerals at the back of every branch and put them under the ground then moved them along with him.
When the monster appeared he used his feet to control the branch and it shot from the ground and then hit the monster, due to little pain the monster didn't care much but here comes the main point, the melted sand finally exploded, and it burst inside of the Monster'.
Hearing this, Lilith turned to look at Adria with a smugness as if, 'See, that is my husband'.
Adria's eyes twitched and said, "We will see after this" and inwardly, 'They lowered their guard because he didn't show up until now'.
Lilith just nodded her head and turned to look at her Darling.
Seeing their conversation, Rose could only understand that they using some kind of Mental message between them.
*****
"Finally, we will be hunting 5-9 Star monsters from now on" Zera said to Mia while walking deep inside the forest.
"He will show up hereafter, so we have to be on guard" Zera said seriously.
"Hmm" Mia nodded.
