"F*cking hell! Why are there so many of them here!" Carlos exclaimed, he was the one the previously belittled Yuki.
"This is abnormal!" The beautiful Elf Sylvie said.
"Sylvie's right, why are there so many here at the same time," Eren said. Out of all the people here, he was the most composed one except Yuki.
"Where the hell is that damn beast gone!" Carlos screamed.
"Why the f*ck are you even looking for her? She is probably already dead." Sora answered while slashing through the waves of the venomous tarantula.
"Sora's right, don't care about her anymore!" The three dwarves shouted.
"No, we should go save her. If not for her we would already be swallowed by this tarantula!" Anna said to all of them, hoping to get their sympathy for Yumie.
Just as she was hoping that everyone would help, she was immediately shut up by Carlos.
"Why should we help her, she is just a nuisance to us!"
"Carlos is right. You are already used to this kind of phenomenon Anna, so there is no need to be shocked. A person dying in an Adventure is normal, it only means that they are weak." Sylvie added. To which all the others nodded in agreement.
"But…" Anna felt like crying because of their attitude, even her trusted best friend went to the side of their teammates even though they were the ones clearly in the wrong.
But little did they know that Yumie was hiding in a dark corner and was secretly listening to them. She then sighed in relief after hearing everything that they have been saying about her.
"Looks like my mother is right, in the face of danger they don't care about their teammates. They just care about themselves." Yumie muttered. At this moment Yumie then remembered Yuki's words to her.
"Well, this is probably the best advice that I can give you. Be strong, just that. Strong enough so that you can trample anyone that stood in your way. Remember even if you manage to have a strong teammate, you are still by yourself if you don't trust each other. If you still don't understand then I'll put it into much simpler words."
"In this world where power determines everything. Nobody can keep you safe other than yourself." Yumie repeated Yuki's words with a heavy feeling.
"And if you are thinking that "I have my family with me" then you are still wrong because greed will always change people." Those were the words that Yuki gave her just 1 month ago.
Yumie then decided to let all of them die except for Anna and this time she wants to be the one to kill them because it will serve as an experience. Other than Su Xia, she has never killed any other Race than a Human.
Also, she wants to see her limitations today as well, but of course, she will not use Engulfing Flames as she didn't feel threatened by all of them fighting her. Because she is already experienced enough to fight 5 Demonic Early Beasts in the Early stage at the same time.
Even though it is not that much of a huge feat, it is already good enough for Yumie. All of them are pretty strong if Yumie must say but, they are still nothing compared to 5 Gold Skinned Bears that she had fought, it was twice the strength of an Iron Bea and much more deadly with their heavy claw attacks.
But due to its massive size, its attack was slow, so naturally, Yumie got the upper hand with them.
"This time it's going to be different, I will need to kill a being that has a brain that is working.
Yuki then starts to release her Mana slowly and gathers it into many Fireballs before shooting it at the Tarantula.
Boom!!
Screech!!
The tarantula screamed in agony when it exploded and lit almost half of them.
"Who is that, show yourself!" Carlos shouted, as his eyes darted around trying to find the source of the attacker.
"Don't worry it's me." Yumie wrote in the air but still refused to come out.
All of them felt rather strange because the writing felt familiar to them but they had already forgotten.
"Who are you, and why are you helping us?" Sora this time was the one that asked.
"Ahh, you've already forgotten how cruel of you guys." Yumie chuckled and continued.
"Well, I guess it doesn't matter since we have the same goal here," Yumie said before appearing in front of them.
"Now we need to kill all of them." Yumie pointed to a dark spot in a Cave.
And just seconds later, there is another wave of Tarantula coming to them.
"F*ck why are there more!?" Gorou, who was quiet, finally exploded.
"This is your fault if you had not used your Fireball then they would have not come to us!" Carlos yelled at Yumie.
But Yumie remained indifferent and only looked at them coldly.
"If I had not done that then you guys were already long dead," Yumie said before vanishing into the darkness and fighting the Tarantula by herself without using her Mana.
"Hey! come back here!" Sora yelled too.
"See we shouldn't have gotten that Beast into our team, she is a traitor that leaves her teammates to die," Sora cursed Yumie and began to complain at Eren who was their current leader.
"What a bunch of hypocrites," Anna muttered while holding tightly her staff.
"You cannot change the past, so just go with it and stop complaining already." Eren glared at Sora.
Eren then released his cultivation and crushed the Tarantula under his pressure. After that, he punched the air and a strong gust of wind followed that shredded the Tarantula to pieces.
In that attack, he had killed all of the Tarantula that was left on Yumie's attack.
"This guy is pretty strong, I must be wary of him later," Yumie said as she remembered Eren.
"Eren's right plus these guys are weak, they are just big in numbers," Sylvie said as she created a Magic Circle under the Tarantula
"Shattering Thunder"
And soon an electric sound came before it exploded turning the Tarantula into crisp.
Bang!!
"She's also strong, looks like I have underestimated them." Yumie thought.
