Chapter 46: Chapter 4 Volume 4

Fastly, Lady Megumi ran toward that monster...

*Swoosh!*

When their distances became closer, they started clashing with each other unavoidably...

*Tang!* *Shrring!* *Shrrk!*

They fought like a beast. It could be seen by their abnormal attacks, especially her attacks. Their weapons swung fastly, deadly, and ferociously. Each of their movements almost couldn't see by normal eyes...

*Shrring!* *Tang!* *Shrring!* *Tang!*

Lady Megumi checked the creature's status while parrying its attacks amidst her fight...

[Subject Name: Giant Scythe-Gottesanbeterin.

Level: A+

Condition: Health.

Estimated: Approximately one year, seven months, twelve days.

Description: It has seized 5 meters, and its height is 5 meters. Weight ± 140 kilograms. That creature currently experienced high-level stress due to several attacks it received. Beware of it, especially its front legs.]

After seeing the creature's status, Lady Megumi commented,

"Just step aside from my sight!" Lady Megumi continuously parried and attacked the monster without mercy. Along with that, she began increasing her attacks. In response to her attacks, the creature escalated its own attacks without a doubt.

*Shrring!* *Tang!* *Shrring!*

On the different side, Adolph, who saw their fight and the creature's status, was almost speechless. She even couldn't move for an inch. Although she couldn't move, her eyes reflexively could slightly see their movements, thanks to her experiences as an assassin. Seeing that fighting scene, she just reacted,

"That's a... crazy fight!" Adolph remained her expression. "But their fight levels are above me... Is any chance I could fight like that??" Adolph gripped her right hand hard reflexively. "This is ridiculous, seeing my level right now and the reality in my face. I... couldn't accept it! I wanted—," Adolph was silent for a moment—"I wanted to be on par with Nagao!" Adolph said in a lowly-frustration tone.

Back to their fight side, although she was human, Lady Megumi could counterattack that monster. Even she could attack the creature several times with her scythe...

*Shhrock!* *Slash!* *Slash!*

After several attacks received by the monster, the monster hissed hard because of the pain it received...

*HISS!* *KIKKK!*

Hearing the monster hissing, she immediately took several steps back away. Then Lady Megumi started chanting several words...

"O melody...,"

Lady Megumi twisted her handle scythe several times, starting to take a position...

"I gasp you through verse...,"

"Through the strings of fate...,"

Along with that, her weapon began to change again. The blade of her scythe grew bigger as if similar to a giant boomerang. Same as the distinctive front leg of that monster...

"Through the junction of believe...,"

"As I vow through hope...," Lady Megumi's hand muscles saw clearly. "Oizys Boomerang!" She hurled her weapon hard toward that monster.

*Swoosh!*

Her boomerang flew toward that monster. Unmercifully, her weapon slashed the monster's neck...

*Slash!*

Its head flew away from the body creature. The monster's blood came out profusely. Starting with that condition, that creature began to fall to the ground. Fell hard...

*Bam!*

Simultaneously, there were several notifications before Adolph and Lady Megumi...

[Side mission: kill the Giant Scythe-Gottesanbeterin.] (1/1)

[Megumi has gained +400 exp and +300 stat points.] (1/1)

[Megumi has collected some exp points to level up your level.] (12/100)

Among the several notifications, there was one that caught Adolph's interest...

[This is the review of the statistics circle graph for the fight. View more.] (1/1)

Suddenly, Adolph clicked that notification...

*Click*

[This is the review of the statistics circle graph for the fight.

Moreover, the skill status until the weapon doesn't relate to how much an individual performs, even if they possess high skill or weapon.]

After that, Lady Megumi walked to the monster's carcass and, immediately, she thrusted its heart. Although she did that several times, her face remained the same. Only...

A cold expression displayed by her...

*Shrrock!* *Shrrock!* *Shrrock!*

As if satisfied with what she did, she began to speak,

"Let us go. Find that forest honey." She walked away without turning her head or seeing Adolph and the little girl.

They, Adolph and the little girl, with their thoughts and obviously shocked expressions, walked behind her.

Much time had left, and finally, they arrived at one of the big trees. The forest honey location is in the deepest of it. Even they must receive challenging terrain to overcome to get at this point.

Simultaneously with that condition, the little girl raised up her right and pointed at the biggest tree. Realizing the clue had been given, Lady Megumi immediately turned her weapon back into a boomerang again. She paused for a moment as if observing the honey. And, soon, she threw her weapon toward the branch with forest honey...

*Swoosh* *Tak!*

Her boomerang hits a branch that has forest honey on the tree. And, automatically, it falls to the ground...

*Thud*

Even though the honeycomb is destroyed, this condition doesn't damage the honey content. However, due to Lady Megumi's action just now, it made several bees rush toward them. However, swiftly, Adolph made smoke to chase away several bees. Simultaneously with this act, Adolph immediately picked up the fallen honeycomb.

While trying to get the honey into the container it had been brought in, Adolph noticed one of the honeycomb pieces...

[Subject Name: Gold Forest honey.

Condition: Good and healthy.

Estimated: Four months.

Specifications: This honey has many properties and ingredients that are good for humans.]

"This is the first time I have taken the forest honey. Moreover, several people said that forest honey is sweet, isn't it?" Adolph glanced at that honey again. "However, this honey is too much. Is it okay to take it too much?? No, I just needed to take some, and I put the rest on one of the trees."

After the forest honey has been obtained, Adolph returns carrying some pieces of forest honey. Not only that, Adolph gave some of it to the little girl and put another quarter of the forest honey on one of the trees that weren't too tall. Aware of Adolph's actions, Lady Megumi reacted,

"What are you doing?! You, with easily, put the honey that I worked so hard to get at that tree without my permission?!! Are you stupid?!"

"We only needed several of them. Besides, why should we take too much? Moreover, the notification board doesn't mention the criteria for how much to take!" Adolph replied to Lady Megumi.

"It couldn't be like that! What if we took less than what we needed?! We'd already come here in exhausting conditions. Just take everything!" Lady Megumi denied Adolph's replies. "Now take it back or—!" Lady Megumi was suddenly startled to see something in front of her.

"?!" Adolph was also taken aback instantly same as Lady Megumi did.

At the same momentum, in front of them, a gigantic insect appeared from above. With colorful body colors and wings like dragon wings, the insect monster flapped its wings as if trying to descend from the sky. Toward their location...

*Plak* *Plak* *Plak*

Adolph and Lady Megumi were still shocked by the monster's presence in front of them. But, reflexively, they both assumed a wary stance. As for Adolph immediately identifying that creature...

[Subject Name: Alexander Dragonwing Morpho Butterfly.

Level: S+

Condition: Health.

Estimated: Approximately two years, two months, ten days.

Description: It has seized ± 5 meters long, and It has a wingspan each of it is 7 meters. Weight ± 150 kilograms. That creature currently experienced high-level stress due to hunger urges. Plus, that butterfly has venomous poison. Beware of it.]

"You've got to be kidding?!" Adolph reacted with shock. "We must fight against this shit?!"

"Shut up! Right now, If we've got to fight this," Lady Megumi started to transform her weapon. "I would buy much time for this fight. You, you must carry back that forest honey to Nagao!"

"Are you trying to become the midday hero at this time?! Just like Nagao, who had fought the Goliath?!" Adolph reacted with shock. "No in my face again, you bitch snakey-woman?!"

"I'm trying to be nice in here, you rat-asshole! Ugh!" Lady Megumi was irritated at Adolph. "Goddamnit! What an annoying attitude of Nagao you have right now! The attitude of imposing will that I HATE from him!"

"Mock me, but don't mock him!" Adolph rebuked her.

"Or what?!" Lady Megumi counterattacked her reply. "Wanna fight with me, huh, you rat-ass?!"

"Bringing on, bitch!" Adolph immediately grabbed her neck and shook it several times.

"Oh, y-you m-motherfucker... Ugh!" Lady Megumi pulled Adolph's hair in return for Adolph's previous response.

They both fight each other. Hitting each other, slapping, and even pulling their hair is their way of fighting. It happened until something happened...

"I couldn't believe you guys even didn't care about the monster in front of you!" A sound responded to their quarrel- fight.

"?!" Adolph and Lady Megumi started to search for that voice. They were shocked when they got the source of it.

Standing before them, the little girl spoke with different intonation. She then transformed into a fairy. A young woman fairy with red clothes and black hair. Eventually, she talked again,

"My name is Sophia Sith, Daughter of Janet and Tam-Lin, who has fairy blood, hereby point at you!" she spoke authoritatively while pointing at Adolph. "Adolphus Grey, to answer questions of mine. Your answers would determine the fate of both of you!"
