Increasing Danger....

'Zen, his black flame is stronger than my purgatory skill. I should be envious of him now. But what is this I am feeling right now' - Ash

'I can't take my eyes off him' - Ash

'He is just' - Ash

'He is just so cool' - Ash with love overflowing from her eyes.

'Oh no, I can't show my face to Zen now' - Ash

(Hug!)

Ash hugged him to avoid showing her drooling face to Zen.

"Wha__?" - Zen

'Shit! Things got awkward. Just say anything, Me' - Ash

"Thank you Zen, for coming out unharmed after the fight" - Ash

"Awww, Yoshi! Yoshi" - Zen

Zen patted her head to calm her down.

After that things got calmed down.

As for Itto and Takagi, their teammates did first aid and carried them on their backs.

One from Itto's team approached Zen to talk.

"Zen, we need to camp nearby. Our team captains need to recover. The night is also approaching, so please consider" - Itto's teammate

"Hmm, the expedition captain is Itto, not me. He can decide to rest if we want to. Why are you asking me" - Zen

"He said you are the temporary captain until he recovers. So he asks permission from you" - Itto's teammate

"Fine. Let's camp tonight. Find the right place" - Zen

"Yes captain" - Itto's teammate

After that, they found a nice place.

They built their camp in that place.

In the meantime.

****Nearby camp****

"Shit, I didn't even get a chance to impress Ash" - Fin Alfred

Fin Alfred was heavily injured when he attacked the Orc Champion.

Later he was carried by his family elder Anthony Alfred to a safe distance to get treated.

"Young Master, you can kidnap her if you want. You have me now" - Anthony Alfred (Level: 115)

"You are right elder. I always had this method, hahaha. You are the best, Elder" - Fin

"Thank you, young master" - Anthony

"Do you know where they are right now?" - Fin

"I sensed their presence not so far. We can reach them at midnight" - Anthony

"Elder, I have a request" - Fin

"Tell me, young master" - Anthony

"I want to kill everyone in the Expedition team including Ash's teammates" - Fin

"Hmm, care to tell me why" - Anthony

"They saw me beat to death by that Orc champion. I can't allow anyone to tarnish our family's reputation" - Fin

"(Sob!) (Sob!)" - Anthony

"Why are crying, Elder?" - Fin

"Young master, (Sob!) you have grown into a splendid man. I am so proud of you" - Anthony

"It is to be expected because I am the next heir to the Alfred family" - Fin

"I can kill everyone as per your command, young master. Do you need anything else?" - Anthony

"Hmm, now that I think about it, Death is not enough for that Zen bastard" - Fin

"Elder, I want to cripple a man. You want to cut all of his limbs. You also want to cut his tongue so that he can't tell anyone about this night" - Fin

"Why do you have this much hatred towards that Zen boy" - Anthony

"He was the reason Ash is not accepting my love. He is also younger than me while being stronger than me. He should learn his lesson by living the life of cripple" - Fin

"He is even stronger than you while being younger. You are right, young master. We should teach him a lesson. Death is very easy for him. He should live a life of cripple and should remember not to mess with Aflred family ever again" - Anthony

**** At the Camp of Expedition team****

'Ah shit, I can't hold it in any longer' - Zen

'What are you holding, you bastard' - Candice

'I can't hold my pee any longer' - Zen

'Hahaha, why are you like this? Just go to the bushes and pee. What is wrong with that' - Candice

'After I defeated the Orc Champion everyone is praising me. They are watching me all time. There are even women watching me' - Zen

'So what?' - Candice

'Think about it. It is the first time in my life many women are watching me with admiration. I can't show them my embarrassing side' - Zen

'Hahaha, you little bitch' - Candice

'Don't just laugh, give me a good Idea. You are the ultimate system right?' - Zen

'Hahaha, wait wait. Let me process my processor to give you the best Idea' - Candic

'Good, tell me faster' - Zen

'Process completed' - Candice

'Nice, say' - Zen

'Just' - Candice

'Just?' - Zen

'Just Fuck off' - Candice

'Hahaha' - Candice

'You little, Ah! I can't hold it any longer. Pee is coming out' - Zen

'Hey don't. You will ruin your reputation by peeing in your pants' - Candice

'Then tell me a good idea' - Zen

'Just say you have to scout the surroundings to ensure safety and go, you idiot' - Candice

'Wow, great idea. Just hold it back little me. You can be free in a second' - Zen

"Skill: Warp" - Zen

(Swish!)

Zen arrived infront of Itto.

He had a serious expression.

'Huh? What is with his serious face?' - Itto

"Sit Itto" - Zen

"Yes" - Itto

"I will scout the nearby area for you" - Zen

'Scout? Oh, he wants to go to pee. I understand how you are feeling young man. If you are in the center of attention, even going to pee might be very tough' - Itto

"Thank you for your service, young soldier" - Itto with a salute

"I will return soon, sergeant" - Zen with a salute

Zen rushed towards the forest.

Zen went very far because if there is anyone who spots him peeing then all the efforts may end up disastrous.

At the same time, Fin and Anthony arrived at the camp.

(Bang!)

"Ash...Where are you?" - Fin Alfred

Fin entered the camp with a big explosion.

Anthony was standing right beside him.

Everyone came out of their tent to see what is going on.

"Fin? You have the nerve to come back after messing the frontlines" - Itto

"Oh, captain Itto. Nice to see you. It seems you have succeded in the expedition barely" - Fin

Fin was mocking the body of Itto due to the injury.

"Hey Fin, what business do you have with us?" - Takagi

"Vice-captain Takagi. I am glad to see you alive. Business, you say. Yes I am here for a particular purpose" - Fin

Ash, Lucas, and Lilly arrived to see what is going on.

"Oh you are here, my dear" - Fin pointing at Ash

"I have two purposes" - Fin

"One is to take away Ash with me" - Fin

"Two is to kill you all" - Fin

(Bang!)

As soon as Fin mentioned killing, a member of Itto's team launched the attack.

The smoke rose up.

They saw Anthony defend the attack with ease.

"Shit! He brought someone from his family with him. He is a grand master for sure" - Itto

"Itto, I want to repay Zen by saving his teammates. You should escort Miss Ash out of here" - Takagi

"Huh? What are you saying? I also want to repay Zen" - Itto

"Guess we think the same" - Takgi

"Hehe, Young Miss!" - Itto

"Yes, Sir Itto" - Ash

"Just run into the forest. You will find Zen" - Itto

"Take him with you and get out of this forest." - Itto

"We will stall enough time for you" - Itto

"But sir" - Ash

"Don't even think of helping us. The enemy is a Grandmaster. Even Zen might not be his opponent. So run away" - Itto

"Who will let you go" - Anthony

Anthony dives into the shadow.

He tries to capture Ash.

(Tang!)

Itto blocked him with his sword.

"Do you think you can stop me" - Anthony

Anthony tries to cut Itto with his double dagger.

(Tang!)

Takagi blocks the other dagger.

"We will stop you no matter what" - Takagi

"Let's see" - Anthony

The battle begins.

Itto and Takagi gave their full effort to stop him.

While the fight takes place, Ash, Lucas, and Lilly stood still instead of running.

"Guys, I might be dumb but I think it is not right to run away right now" - Ash

"We also think the same" - Lilly and Lucas

"I want to save those good people" - Ash

While the fight becomes intense Anthony shoved off the two with ease.

"Two old men think they pave the path to the future. What a joke" - Anthony

"Just die" - Anthony

(Swing!)

Anthony swings his dagger with his full power.

(Tang!)

Both Itto and Takagi blocks the Dagger.

(Shatter!)

Their swords broke.

"Die!" - Anthony

Anthony swings his other dagger at Itto.

(Swish!)

Suddenly Ash comes in front.

Ash throws her body at the dagger thinking he will stop the dagger.

'Shit! I swung too hard! I can't stop the dagger now' - Anthony

The dagger was not stopping.

'Oh no, I am one step late. He swung too hard. He can't stop his dagger' - Ash

'Sorry Zen, I think I might die today' - Ash

"Skill: Blood Lust" - Zen

Everyone froze when Zen released his blood lust.

"Oi, what the hell are you trying to do?" - Zen with his eyes overflowing with menace
