Chapter 19: Survival Game
Soon, Nia and Karina went out of the Misty Swamp. There was no other demonic creature being met along the way, this really made Karina very puzzled.
Karina had repeatedly asked about the origin of the ident.i.ty of Nia, but Nia just prevaricated it by telling that he was a young descendant of a declining family, while Lusa and Elise were a.s.sumed to be the guards of the family, and he was forced to come out from the home for training and experience. He still didn"t want others to know his ident.i.ty.
At first, Karina didn"t believe it, but later she found that Nia really knew nothing about martial technique nor magic, furthermore, he often asked her for advice, thus, she slowly eliminated a bit of her malicious suspicion.
However, regarding the saying about Lusa and the other girl are bodyguards, Karina would never going to believe that even she is beaten to death.
In general, Lusa and Nia are inseparable. Their relationship was too much ambiguous. Even if Karina break her head, she can"t remind of any family with such powerful bodyguard. The skill that shown by Lusa about condensing martial energy into a pike is not something any ordinary people can do. Not to mention there were two martial pikes of it.
On this day, as usual, Nia went to the bearded man to ask for the technique to release martial energy during his resting time and then went to Karina to ask about the control principle of the magic element. It would be a waste if these ready-made instructors are not being used.
Karina was facing toward a small tree, and she was hands-on teaching Nia on how to throw the small fireball out.
Suddenly, the sound of gold and iron clashing together with mourning voice came from behind. A small team mainly composing by people in white armor, fighting while moving backward and quickly coming toward their direction. That was the first rescue team sent by the Kingdom of Rodan.
They encountered strong obstacles in the Misty Swamp. Originally, the combat progress was pushing forward and smooth, but up until the center of the swamp, suddenly a burly man led a team of various demonic beasts to attack them from left and right. Their original team formation was smashed apart, many people were scattered away.
Without any choice, Akyol, the Legion Head had to order the reunion of survivor and retreated. But one did not expect these demonic beasts to become fiercer and fiercer. It"s not long after they get rid of an attack wave, another wave came forth.
At this time, there were only a dozen people left in the team and several wounded. Among them is the Legion head, Akyol, the deputy officer, Claire, and the head of the Iron Sword Mercenary Group, Brian, are all among them.
When Karina saw this situation, she went over for the rescue at first. The people who were resting also got up and followed. While the two girls, Elise and Lusa did not act without the command of Nia.
"This Kesett really spoiling my good deed. Simply drive them away will be enough, what for chasing them further?" Nia frowned and muttered to himself.
Actually, It is Nia"s misunderstanding about Kesett. Since Kesett"s strength had risen and he had been re-appointed as the guardian. He was somewhat eager to show off in front of his new master, fearing that there will be any amiss, so, he kept chasing them.
Normally, if one does not invade deep into the inner circle of the forest, Kesett will not care about it, let alone leading the team.
Kesett was leading his little followers to chase these humans with joy. Suddenly he saw Nia and Lusa were behind those group of human, his heart was shocked and felt something bad.
Nia quickly gave him a gesture to indicate him be silence and quickly leave. Kesett looked at Nia"s gesture which was pointing here and there, and he seemed to understand the meaning of Nia. So, Kesett secretly responded with a gesture mean of "I understand, rest a.s.sured, boss", Kesett thought that Nia wanted to be the hero to save the beauty!
"Human, this is the demonic beast forest, it is not the place you should come!" Kesett yelled at Akyol.
When Akyol is about to answer, he heard someone was shouting at him. "Uncle Akyol! Is it my father who sent you to save me?" Akyol looked for the direction of the voice, and the two peerless beauties were trotting and staggering toward him.
Akyol found out that it was the little princess and the granddaughter of the head of Magic Guild, what was the name...?
When Claire on the side saw the roaring waves of two girls, a brain of red blood erupted from his nostrils, overwhelming the comrades beside him.
"His Royal Princess! It is very good to know you are fine. His Majesty worried very much about your safety!" Akyol was overjoyed.
Without waiting for them to continue, Kesett, who was left aside caught on fire. If not Nia was looking over here fiercely like the tiger, he must have taught these Ignorance humans a lesson.
"Cough cough~ Have you all finished? I don"t have time to spend with you to talk about leisure home." Kesett said.
"Presumably you must be the powerful guardian of the beast domain! We are the Royal guard Legion of the Rodan Kingdom, representing the will of King Rodan! Please forgive our presumptuous entry. We will leave now!" Akyol quickly replied.
Kesett pretended to ponder by holding his chin, and said after a while, "Okay, but you have already violated my master, you need to play a game with me, I will let you go if you win!"
Akyol looked at Brian, who is now the combat power second only to Akyol in the team. Because Akyol was unheard of such game, so he used his eyes to ask Brian for his opinion. Brian nodded to mean that being with hope is better than no hope, let alone it is difficult to reject in this situation.
"May I know what game the Guardian master wants to play?"
"My rules are very simple. The beast domain only looks at the strength. I have a younger generation here. As long as you can defeat him, I will let you all go." Then Kesett pointed to a Goblin next to him, while still not forgetting to give Nia an eye signal "How? Boss?"
At this time, Nia is seen with black lines on the face!
Kesett obviously did not find anything wrong, but instead proudly said, "So, let"s get started!"
If not Nia didn"t want to reveal his ident.i.ty, he really wanted to go beat him up.
After Kesett finished speaking, a Goblin next to him stepped forward and stood in a relatively s.p.a.cious place.
