Chapter 14 - West Forest

[West Forest]

[Calypso]

We are now in the West Forest where the monsters lair. Good thing that the monsters I chose to subjugate are not that far from each other. I can save energy from walking although it does not matter since I can use teleportation magic that I just acquired.

"Who will warm up first?" I ask them to look at my members to see which one of them wants to take the monster first.

"Should we go to the cave for the Hell Golem?" Scythe suggested.

"The Rank-C monster, Hell Golem. Can you both handle that alone?" I look at Karyan and Prish.

"Yeah, I think so. Prish can handle the support. I'll take charge of the attack." Karyan stated. I nodded and said "Let me have a look at what you've got." I sat down on one of the rocks. Scythe, Jingo and Gunther followed me and sat down beside me.

"You'll leave them to handle the Hell Golem? Are you out of your mind?" A male voice echoed. I look where it came from.

Ohhhh... I forgot that they accompany us here.

"Ohhhhh, what are you doing here?" I blurted out all of a sudden, the look on their face was hilarious to be honest.

"Pfft. Sis, you really forgot them? HAHAHA!" Scythe, forcing not to laugh as loud as possible. "Pfff... - Pffffttt. HAHAHAHA. Oh, Sis Calypso. I don't know if this is the kind of humor you'll drop today." Jingo and Gunther said and laughed.

"Hey! Did you really forget us? How mean, Calypso." Viscount Andovine said acting like he was really hurt. "Com'on, how mean." Viscount Tarravia added and patted Viscount Andovine.

Tim and Sebastian just walk towards our side and stand beside me.

"Want to bet how long it will take for them to kill the Hell Golem?" Suddenly, Scythe suggested betting. "The closest one will be the winner. Within 2 hours, I'll bet 1 Nol Gold." She said and looked at us.

"Ha! You better not cry on us if you lose. By 1 and a half hours, for 1 Nol Gold." Gunther bet.

"Geez guys, you better not clung onto me later on okay? I'll bet 1 Nol Gold; they can finish within 1 hour" Jingo looks at us with a smug face.

"Within 30 minutes, they are done." And set a timer using an artifact.

"Sis, you better not make a move and help them okay? We know you too well. You'll make an unnoticeable killing move." Scythe warns me, knowing that I can help a hand for the two. "Yeah, you better not help them out.!" Jingo and Gunther protested as well.

"Ay-yah! You little disciples dares to rebel on me now?" I said while looking sternly at them. "W-we just want you to be fair." They reason out.

I look at Karyan and Prish who are fighting the Hell Golem. The faster you defeat it, the better. Prish keeps healing Karyan whenever she is hit by the Hell Golem. Karyan accelerated her movements and ran towards the monster head, where the gem stone is located. She knows where the weak point of the monster is.

"I think I win now, you better hand over to me your money my little cubs." I smirk as I gesture my hand for them to give the money to me.

"It's not over yet." They told me, whining like a kid. "Nuh-uh~ you better not go back on your words. It's already finish." I pointed in the direction where Karyan was dismantling the Hell Golem. They looked at the direction and different facial expressions were seen.

"I told you, no?" with a victorious tone of voice. "That's not fair sis!" They pretested. "Give me the money, you can try to bet on the next monster." I told them.

"Can you work for the remaining monster sis? We're not really in the mood." They beg with and plead. "I can, in return you will train hard starting tomorrow." I told them and they nodded.

"Ha! It will be fair enough to make a bet since sis will be the one to kill the monsters." They tried to whisper but we could still hear them.

"Sis, I am done, I did dismantle the Hell Golem. Here are the materials, let's partake this after we subjugate the monsters." She handed me the materials.

I look at the four men, "Let's get to the next place, shall we?" Then walk out of the cave.

"Wait for us sis. It's been a long time since we saw you fight a monster." Scythe runs towards me and cling onto my arms.

"Yeah, Dang! Scythe, I remember it. How long can monsters stand her hit? Pfft. HAHA!" Jingo asks Scythe and laughs.

"Haha! Yeah right, I wonder too. Pffft...." Scythe replied.

"What are you talking about?" Gunther asks them. Karyan and Prish look at us, the four men also are curious as to what these two are talking about.

"Ah, right. You did not have a chance to see how Sis fought before right? Brace yourself and prepare yourself to move on to the next place." Jingo said and laughed. "HAHAHA! Yeah, you better keep up with the phase though." Scythe said while laughing.

"Why are you two laughing? Is she not strong enough to kill the monsters?" The four men said. I hurriedly look at them.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Sis, look they thought you're a weak damsel in distress. Geez! I can't stop laughing." Scythe can't compose herself and is teary-eyed because of laughing. "HAHAHA! You bet Scythe, ohhh poor soul." Jingo said while faking like he's wiping his tears.

"You sure can handle all the remaining monsters that you got on the quest?" Tarravia asks me. I just nodded as an answer.

As we were walking towards a field, I scanned the area using my mana.

"Oh! Gotcha, you're mine now!" I softly said and moved the 45 degrees angle to the left side.

"Wait! Where are you going?" The four men shouted at me.

"Shhhh, do not delay her work." Scythe reprimands them to make some noise. "She's too sensitive when fighting monsters. So we better keep quiet." Jingo added.

Ah, trying to run away ha? You bet I can run away from me.

I release my sword and run towards the bush where the King Mantis camouflage.

"Heh~ planning to escape death? You jest." I quickly swung my sword and added some mana to increase the damage. It only took 1 hit. How boring. Tch.

I walk back, dragging the King Mantis body to where the group stands. I was in the middle of the field when suddenly there's a huge shadow coming from behind me. As I look back and release a taunting mana, it was the Black-Eyed Ogre, how lucky. I don't need to look for this creature. I Immediately kill it in one hit. The blood was spilled on my clothes. Tch, it will cost another Nol to purchase another pair of clothes.

The blood of the Ogre is hard to remove. Although I can experiment to remove the stain and smell.

I sense a large amount of monsters coming towards me. HAHA!

"HAHA! This is great, is this my lucky day?" I said and they looked puzzled.

A group of Hyenas are coming. The one on the top is my target. Come to me, my little kitty.

I Used lighting magic to reduce the numbers and swiftly move to kill each one of them. One by one as fast as I reached the King of Hyenas, I immediately killed it using my dagger. It did not take that long to finish them, although it consumed my time, I was outnumbered to begin with.

This is really the best! more monster materials, more money!

Raising my hand to call them to help me dismantle the monster so it can be put on my dimensional storage artifact.

"Scythe! Jingo! " calling their name and they immediately went to where I stood.

"Yes you called us." Scythe said. The other members are here as well, they follow Scythe and Jingo to come here.

"Let's dismantle this, then afterwards, let's continue with the job." I told them then started dismantling the monsters.

The four men who accompanied us are in the corner watching us. Like observing their prey.

I collected all the materials and put it in my dimensional bag.

"Are you all good? What to start the bidding now before we go to look for the Chaos Gorgon?" I ask them while grinning. Scythe and Jingo catch up to what I am saying.

"Heh! I almost forgot about the bet." Jingo said and scratched his nape.

"I'll start, 5 Nol Golds within 30 minutes" Scythe hurriedly stated. Look at this mischievous girl.

"Then 5 Nol Golds within 25 minutes" Jingo said and grinned at Scythe.

"Let me join the game as well, 5 Nol Golds within 35 minutes." Gunther joined them.

"Karyan and Prish, you're not going to make some bet?" Scythe as them.

"We will join 5 Nol Golds for us,within 20 minutes" Karyan said to them.

"You guys would be so lively if the topic was about gambling and money, no?" I told them.

"Come on boss! This is what we usually do when taking a quest." Scythe and Jingo said.
