Chapter 42 "Kill Them!"

When Yuki walked away to a safe distance so that she would not disturb Yumie she went to find a good place to watch secretly and watch Yumie train so that she can still guide her a bit.

Yumie then took a few deep breaths and looked at the giant Ice Pillar and readied herself to attack it with all her might.

She already had a plan in her mind. First, she will practice her powers a bit so that she knows how much power she can extort without using too much of her stamina. Since her attacks are quite fast and strong it uses more of her stamina than others since her race is special.

'Ok, Yumie don't think too much. You need to practice first so you can know how much strength to use to pass this test.' Yumie has already given up to have a perfect score on this test since she already knows that it will be impossible now but only time will tell when she will be able to punch a hole or even destroy the whole Ice Pillar with a single attack.

Yumie then dashed towards the Ice Pillar and used her tail with minimal speed first. But Yumie was still insanely fast for a No Rank Beast which proves how much she gained in her training under the guidance of Yuki. She then smashed her tail to stab a hole in the Ice Pillar.

BANG!!

A mini explosion happened when Yumie's tail collided with the Ice Pillar. Sadly Yumie's attack didn't do much and it only managed to create a small-sized hall that is about the size of a baby's fist. When Yumie finally saw her attack that didn't even manage to create a half-meter hole she gulped and laughed bitterly 'Hahaha I knew it this isn't going to be easy.' Yumie said then she backed away to use 75% of her powers since she only used 50% previously.

Yumie who was about to attack heard someone laughing and subconsciously looked where the laughter was coming from. She saw Yuki who was now on the ground rolling around while holding her stomach and laughing while looking at Yumie.

She then gritted her teeth and shouted at Yuki, Yumie didn't even try to be polite and said "Don't laugh at me, Yuki! SHUT UP!"

But Yuki didn't stop her laughter only got louder and when she finally stopped she looked at Yumie with teary eyes because of laughing nonstop and said "I'm sorry but it's just so funny seeing your face when you saw the damage that you did HAHAHA!" Yuki then laughed again when she remembered Yumie's dumbfounded look.

Now Yumie just ignored Yuki and gritted her teeth and dashed again towards the Ice Pillar and attacked it again. But this time it was different, she used her claws this time to attack it.

BANG!!

The explosion was bigger and louder than before and once Yumie looked at the damage that she caused her eyes went wide open and looked at Yuki while pointing her claws at her.

"You CHEATER! You used a lot of blood and a huge amount of mana to create this Ice Pillar!" Yumie said and looked at Yuki with an annoyed face.

"HAHAHA! This is why this is the final test! When you can do this without reaching the Savage Beast Early tier I'll add a greater reward for you. But if you don't then you will only get the normal reward, I advise you to do this before you reach Savage Beast because the reward is a ton better."

"And don't even try to ask me what that reward is since I will not tell you unless you complete this quest. But I'll give you a hint that it will help you boost your combat powers this test has a time limit and it's only 1 week. In that time I will not help you train, you will need to DO IT YOURSELF!" Yuki especially emphasized the last part since she also wanted Yumie to be independent.

Yumie cannot help but swallow her words when she was about to complain to Yuki when she was given a time limit to do this. But Yumie is smart so she naturally knows what Yuki is planning for her so she just accepted it without arguing or making a deal with Yuki to lengthen the time.

"Yes, Yuki I'll do it alone." Yumie said with a grin and continued, "I'll show you how I'll destroy this Ice Pillar." She said with her head held high with high confidence. But secretly she was nervous and she scolded herself why did she tell Yuki that she will destroy the whole Ice Pillar?

"I see. But don't be too confident with yourself, you never know you might fail." Yuki reminded Yumie and walked back to her cave.

Yuki didn't look back and continued walking towards the cave. Yumie only answered with a hum but Yuki was already far away to hear.

She was about to attack when Yuki suddenly shouted into her mind, "RUN!"

It shocked Yumie but it was too late to dodge since she was hit by an attack by an unknown person.

Yumie flew towards Yuki. Yuki then caught Yumie and tried to see if she was injured or not.

When Yuki was about to go back she suddenly felt power coming from the bushes but she only thought that it was coming from Yumie so she didn't care. But what she did not expect was that the attack came from humans.

"HUMANS!" Yuki shouted to Yumie.

Yumie suddenly shivered since she sometimes hears about humans from the lizard tribe. They said that humans were greedy and evil, they will do anything for them to become strong or famous.

So naturally, Yumie got scared and looked at Yuki with teary eyes. But Yuki just shook her head and said, "Looks like you will have a side test Yumie." She said then added, "fight them Yumie so that your fears in them will lessen and you will know that they are evil so you don't have to feel guilty."

Sadly Yumie was too scared. She didn't even look at Yuki when she heard her. Yumie doesn't want to kill them because she was afraid of other blood staining her hands other than monsters or mindless beasts. These are humans and different so she will feel guilty about killing them even if its the right choice

Yuki looked at the shivering pink lizard. She naturally knows what Yumie is thinking since they are connected so she calmed her down and said.

"Don't worry I won't ever think that you are evil because you kill them. I'll still love you like my cute little sister." Yuki said and continued cutting Yumie who was about to speak.

"NOW... KILL THEM!"
