Chapter 101: Remia’s royal mood

Ghoul was the problem that had to be eliminated.

Besides, the shelter’s entrance had been closed. Since no one knew how to leave that place safely, killing the Ghoul was probably the key.

[Remia has used her Ultimate Skill.]

In an instant, a sharp wind came out from Remia’s curves. Since she wore her official clothes to look good before the Deathwill Sisters and Olivia, Remia had a strapless dress; her long legs were hidden.

No more!

As the Ultimate Skill took the form, Remia revealed a lot of her beauty. In fact, her looks became enchanted in that peculiar form.

Her unique ears elongated as if she was an elf. Her whole aura around her became much different, as if she shed her ordinariness, finally revealing her royal bloodline.

Remia looked decisive, sharp as her long ears, and confident in her abilities! No one would think of her as a naive or kind-hearted lady. Instead, they would consider deeming her haughty.

From around her, green orbs had been scattered vastly, and then they popped. From these orbs, nature started to take form. Countless leaves swayed around as if in a tornado, trees rose to the ceiling, and branches spread like spiderwebs.

Remia’s Ultimate Skill breathed life into her nature, though.

BANG!

“I can only make one guardian, but that should suffice,” Remia spoke in a different tone, sounding pretty authoritative.

From behind her, a union of a few trees moved forward. It was the guardian, and his slow steps shook the whole shelter.

He woke up the Ghoul, of course.

Alex smiled widely, “It’s good to have you by my side, Remia.”

Remia reciprocated his feelings, a genuine sweetness mixing with her current mood, “I still can’t do enough damage. My new poison skills are new, and the big boy behind me is not called guardian for no reason.”

Alex liked that arrogant side, “That’s why I am here. I will be your sword!”

In the meantime, the Ghoul awakened.

On his five faces, all eyes opened. However, he possessed no eyeballs. Instead, he had his eye sockets filled with blue energy. It was not mana.

That energy let out a chilling light, slowing down dancing leaves around his form.

ROAR!

All faces wailed in tandem. The Ghoul’s all hands flailed. He also took a step forward, shaking all rust off his body. At last, he moved his second leg, becoming ready to fight all living beings in his vicinity.

As his main head rose, The Ghoul noticed the guardian looking down. His green eyes were a perfect contrast to the Ghoul, as those orbs brimmed with life.

They were warm, but only for Remia’s beloved and her little friends!

Below the guardian’s feet, the other face noticed Alex’s shrinking the distance with them! He was moving with his sword just an inch before the ground. Alex’s sword rose once enough space shrunk between him and the Ghoul; he then decisively slashed through the rotten flesh.

[-340 HP!]

“Another tough opponent. It will take some time!” Alex shouted before kicking the ground.

From above him, the guardian’s hands descended onto the Ghoul. Those two hands grasped the Ghoul tightly, not letting him chase after Alex.

Remia channeled her new poison skills: Strongus’ Poison Veins. Her guardian’s mana flow turned poisonous. From his hands, the corrosive poison started oozing out. It didn’t do much to the Ghoul, but it applied an effect akin to bleeding, which would work overtime.

One by one, the Ghoul would lose some of his health points.

Alex analyzed the Ghoul’s movements, “He’s powerful.”

The guardian’s branch hands had been cracking from the start. Alex could see a few cracks already opening widely.

If it was Alex wrestling in such close contact, the Ghoul would rip his whole body apart.

That was how much strength The Ghoul had.

“He has no mana, so he should only rely on physical strength. It would explain this bizarre appearance,” Alex looked at arms in a few weird places.

Those arms would help the Ghoul catch his enemies and never let them go. Those faces also raised his awareness, making his instincts five times sharper. Only two legs remained the same from that humanoid appearance.

And the reason he had those two legs was surely so that he could move and position well around his enemies.

Alex didn’t exclude the possibility of a ghoul with more legs, though. But such an existence would no longer follow a humanoid way of fighting but close to insect or beast styles.

While the guardian kept the Ghoul in one place, Remia also used her standard techniques to assist him. She used roots to further imprison her enemy, then branches and leaves whipped the existence from the gaps in her guardian’s grasp.

Alex also used those gaps, thrusting his sword into the enemy’s flesh.

It was a tough flesh that resulted in Alex doing slight damage. But as he knew about his own swordsmanship skill and what kind of a feat it had done before, Alex didn’t want to waste any opportunity to polish it further.

‘There will be nothing that my swordsmanship won’t be able to cut through. Every sword in my hand will reach the peak and go beyond!’ Alex’s ambition rose, and his killing intent was getting thicker.

It resulted in him coming closer to Elias Deathwill’s Swordsmanship. He became faster and stronger, following his guts to slash from all possible angles.

At the same time, Alex had been unconsciously using his own swordsmanship.

“Alex! The guardian’s hands will soon crumble!” Remia warned Alex from afar.

Her forest conveyed her words, so there was no way Alex wouldn’t know about her guardian’s state. He also could see more and more cracks on those rough hands. Those cracks soon would burst out, and he knew it, even without her warning.

He thanked loudly, “Got it!”

And then, Alex prepared for the final.

At last, the guardian’s hands shattered. He revealed the Ghoul to the world. The Ghoul looked more abysmal in his current state, his body corroded and wounded by Remia and Alex’s sword.

Her poison went through all possible gaps. She used the Ghoul’s faces to invade his system, poisoning his insides through eyes, mouths, ears, and noses.

Therefore, the poison flowed from top to bottom. Some of The Ghoul’s rotten flesh became softer, flowing down like blood.

Alex’s sword also opened wounds, further enhancing Remia’s poison skills.

He also did considerable damage through his will to increase his swordsmanship. No one really could count how many slashes Alex had done just now.

“Go back to hell,” Alex shouted, not allowing the Ghoul to make even a step forward toward him.

He jumped with his sword lifted high. The chilling blue light rose from his eyes, similar to the Ghoul’s orbs, yet much different. His sword let out a coldness, too, alerting The Ghoul.

[You have reached enough prerequisites to cut through The Ghoul(Common) flesh.]

[Alexander Deathwill’s Swordsmanship proficiency has been increased.]

BANG!

Alex’s Ice Breath hit The Ghoul’s main head. He instantly went through his skull as if cutting through jelly. His enemy’s body was no longer tough enough to stop him.

Nothing could stop Alex’s fall.

Therefore, his sword continued going down following his descent.

At last, Alex drew such a wide slash that he halved the Ghoul into two parts!

BOOM! BOOM!

“And never come back,” Alex finished his sentence in a pretty cool way.

From behind him, Remia’s eyes sparkled. It didn’t matter whether she was in her Ultimate Skill form or not. Alex would always make her heart flutter.

The little dullahan and her friends were the same; their eyes were twinkling, no longer feeling any fear!

[You have killed The Ghoul.]

[You have leveled up…]

[You have leveled…]

Both Alex and Remia leveled up. It was a source of happiness to both of them, but that lasted just a second.

After all, other than EXP, The Ghoul didn’t drop anything. He didn’t even drop an item!

“He was a scrooge ghoul,” Alex jested while panting roughly.

Others slowly moved to approach him.

Alex still couldn’t catch a break, though.

“You continue to entertain me, kid,” A voice belonging to an old man rang out in Alex’s head.

No one else could hear him.

Alex tensed and looked around. His movement soon froze, as if the foreign existence wielded the Absolute Zero.

“As a reward, I will leave you with a warning,” the old man laughed peculiarly, “For the next week, do not even try to leave this world. You will lose something precious if you do.

If you sleep, you will absolutely lose them. But if you don’t, maybe you will entertain me more and prevent the disaster,” the old voice left with such warning.

Alex’s heart grew chaotic.
