Chapter 104: Diana’s Growth
"Explosion!!"
Under Melinda"s stupefied gaze, she could only watch helplessly as the fireball shot toward her at extremely high speeds!
"Matriarch!!!"
"Leader!!"
"Sister!!!"
Watching Melinda being engulfed in a ball of flames, helpless shots rang out throughout the jungle as they saw her being burned alive
All of a sudden, the once proud Amazon"s suddenly felt extremely weak
"Hahah! That"s more like it!"
"Now are you willing to answer my questions?"
Laughing maniacally, Alvin felt a strange emotion well up from inside him as he felt their despair
Was it joy? Or was it some sort of s.a.d.i.s.tic awakening?
To be honest, Alvin himself wasn"t sure what was going on however he liked this feeling
"Teacher Alvin, I think we should hurry up and transport them back to the school"
"The explosion just now might accidentally attract a lot of beasts!"
Noticing the strange look in Alvin"s eyes, Lilith suddenly spoke up interrupting him again.
Just now, she felt a strong sense of glow hovering over Alvin, obviously, something wasn"t right
Coupled with his strange behaviour from earlier, Lilith was more determined to Alvin back to Elric as soon as possible
Thankfully, Alvin didn"t think too much on Lilith"s actions, rather he seriously pondered what she just said
*The chances of the noise attracting beasts do seem high, and given the state of the Amazons, it doesn"t seem like they"ll put up much of a resistance*
Thinking deeply, Alvin compared the pros and cons as the deduced his next set of actions
*Clap!*
"That"s it! Let"s go back to school!"
Clapping his hands, Alvin quickly decided on the next course of action, obviously what Lilith said made sense, and after realising the fireball earlier, his need for arson had greatly reduced
Seeing this, Lilith on the side breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Alvin decide to return, he seemed he hadn"t completely lost it
However, in order to prevent him from changing his mind soon, Lilith decided to hurry him up as much as possible
"Alright Teacher Alvin, since you"ve agreed let"s start going!"
Tugging a bit of his sleeve, Lilith didn"t give him any chance to refuse.
......…
At this time, while Alvin and Lilith were discussing, Diana was in a complete state of despair
"Impossible!"
"How could my sister die so easily!"
Looking at the still-burning flames, Diana couldn"t accept such a result.
Unexpectedly, her wrong command had put the whole tribe in jeopardy and cost her sister her life
Feeling the results of her actions, Diana"s eyes turned listless as she suddenly felt lost.
"Lord Diana, please get a hold of yourself!"
"If you behave like this, how do you expect the rest of the tribesmen to behave!"
Seeing her lord like this, although also sad Eleanore could help but scold Diana after seeing her like this
Unfortunately, Diana who was lost in self-blame didn"t even glance at her but continued murmuring on how everything was her fault
*Sigh… perhaps I was too harsh*
Looking at Diana whose confidence had completely disappeared, Eleanore knew that if there was to be any iota of a chance for their escape, only through Diana could it happen. freewebnov(e)l.com
So taking a deep breath, Eleanore pushed her sadness to the back of her mind and focused on Diana
"Lord Diana!" Eleanore shouted
"Didn"t you always want to take charge of the village?"
"Didn"t you always want to lead us to our former glory?"
"Didn"t you always want to prove your sister wrong?"
"Didn"t you always want to show everyone how much of a great leader you are?"
"Now here"s your chance, as long as you can successfully save everyone here, no one would dare look down on you!
"Think of it, this is your only chance to prove everyone wrong!"
Saying this, Eleanore stopped speaking for she felt that if this wasn"t enough to wake Diana up, then there was no hope for any of them
Take one last look at Diana, Eleanore closed her eyes as she waited for the course of fate to take action
However, while Eleanore was closing her eyes, she didn"t know that her words just now had set off stormy waves in Diana"s heart
Unknown to her, as she said each sentence, her words seemed to hit Diana"s heart where it hurt making her unable to speak back
In fact, the reason why those words stung so much was that Diana knew that what she said was true.
There was a time when Diana dreamed of leading the tribe to new heights completely surpa.s.sing her ancestors.
She dreamed of showing her sister that she could protect everyone just by herself, and with her around there was never going to be anything to fear
Unfortunately rather than achieving all this, the opposite happened.
Due to her orders, they were captured and her sister who she wanted to protect was dead
Thinking of this, Diana couldn"t help but shed a tear in despair
*No that"s enough Diana! What do you think Melinda would think of you if she saw you this way?*
*Could it be that you Diana would go out as a coward?*
Thinking of this, Diana wiped her tears as she clenched her fists with unwillingness.
Looking at the figures of Lilith and Alvinher her front discussing about transporting them to someplace called Hogwarts like some goods, Lilith suddenly felt angry
"d.a.m.n! Even if it isn"t for me, but for my sister and everyone else, I"ll make sure the two of you pay!"
Saying this, Diana"s eyes suddenly became determined
As an Amazon, although they became weak at night, there weren"t completely powerless
Every matriarch upon coming of age would learn a certain technique allowing them to burn their lives in exchange for power.
And Diana as the current Matriarchs sister and next in line In case of an accident also learnt this move
Now seeing that she had no choice, Diana was ready to burn her life if only to give everyone a chance to escape
Determining her choice, Diana stuck out her right thumb ready to bite down
However just before she could do it, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ear
"Haha wait a minute little sister, don"t you think you"re going a bit too far?"
