Chapter 361 Meeting Her
"That's what you deserve to anger me, foolish Beasts. I have had enough of your interference; do you seriously believe I am scared of you?" The lightning became stronger, and corpses started floating, This was how the battle had started, but these beasts were vengeful and dumb; they didn't retreat no matter how many she eliminated.
As time passed, she got bored. It was no fun fighting against uncountable opponents as a Mage standing in the middle of an unknown place. Who knew when a strong predator might appear and attack her?
It was as if she had predicted things correctly. A three-meter beast appeared. It had awakened due to the noise, It looked at the corpses, and its mouth watered but when his eyes fell on Kajal and the Beasts that were making noise. It became enraged, opened its mouth, and released a ferocious cry.
The beasts, as if scared of the presence, retreated. The only one that remained there was Kajal. She was about to retreat when a whirlpool appeared around her and started sucking her in. She felt like she could not escape, no matter how hard she tried. She was about to use a strong spell and show this creature who was the Boss.
She had just started chanting when she felt a strange, elongated tongue attacking her, She cast a barrier but it broke apart as soon as this tongue covered in green fluid touched it. She was about to use her 'Zone' to escape this situation when a gust of wind passed by; the tongues in front of her was sliced into many pieces.
She heard a loud cry and felt like the area near her was becoming windy, and she noticed her Balack Ring shining purple. The enraged beast was about to attack when the uncountable black chains appeared around him and pierced all over his body, His beating heart stopped the next moment, but the strange part was that no sound came as if nothing had happened.
The three-meter-long corpse was the only proof that something like that had happened. Next, she felt like the wind had started blowing faster. Her long hair danced next, and she felt a strange, cold hand on her shoulder. As she turned, her eyes fell on the boy beside her.
Looking at his handsome face in confusion, she felt like she was moving. Next, she found herself hovering in the air, she looked below and her eyes fell on a Giant two-meter sword. Then she felt air hitting her face and found herself flying in the air. The strange part was that she was only a little above the swamp.
The ferocious creatures that attacked her every time she moved were now ignoring her as if she never existed. At first, she thought it was a coincidence, but soon she found out that her guess was correct. The swamp that she hated some time ago didn't look that bad.
She was thinking about what to say when she heard Rishi's voice. "Come on, thank me; I am waiting." When she heard his voice and heard him asking her to thank him, she wanted to jump. She can't be together with this shameless guy.
"Thank you for what? I would have handled that situation myself. It's you who should apologize for stealing my prey," she said, looking at his back.
He was a little taller than her. He looked back and said, "Seriously, don't tell me I came so far for nothing."
She was about to reply to him when she noticed that thousands of strange fish were following them; they had come very close to them. "Move faster; we have discovered a group of Draconic Phiranas. Even our bones would not be left if we got into their hands."
Unlike her, Rishi was very calm. It was as if it were no big deal. "No need to worry; they are allies. Wait, let me show you my favorite one."
"Nimo come here," said Rishi, 'Splash' a strange black colored fish with her eyes oozing violet color appeared; it flaped its wings and started approaching them. Rishi caught it in his hand and rubbed his forehead. See, isn't it cute?" he said as he threw it into Kajal's hand.
At first, Kajal was scared, but when she saw how friendly and cute it was, she got used to it. Rishi said in a deeper voice, "Mam had said to group up and explore the Realm together, so you will need to stay with me till we leave." A smile appeared on his face, facing forward.
Kajal didn't say anything; she had to agree with his suggestion, but she felt he had different plans. After appearing in an area far from where the battle had taken place, Rishi looked around and used his Shadow Sense to ensure it was safe. He then slowly went close to the water's surface.
"Start the work. Bring back any precious Ore you find." The fishes dived back in unison and dispersed in water; Rishi sat on his sword took out some tasty fruits and started eating them. This place was not bad; it looked good. He saw Kajal staring at him.
"Don't stare like that, you can have some too" he said as he shared some fruits with her; at first she wanted to reject but when she smelled their fragnance and saw Rishi enjoying them. She decided to give them a try. Delicious," she said as she tasted them.
After eating some more and enjoying the view, She suddenly noticed the fish coming back. They brought pieces of precious ore with them; Rishi nodded and carefully stored them. He even threw some away that were in a little worse condition, calling them trash.
Kajal didn't know what to say when she watched him being picky. She had followed him for some time and saw how he explored. This lazy bum just sat around enjoying fruits and ordering the fishes around; even then his Gathering speed was way faster than hers.
He had collected more resources in an hour than she had spent the whole time here. She felt like this was cheating. How could he be so carefree in the Secret Realm filled with dangers? When she saw him it looked like he had come to a picnic.
For the first time, she was jealous of him. Rishi looked at her, staring at him, and said, "Don't worry, we are together; I will give a share to you. Instead of it why don't you use your soft hands and give me a good massage? I have gotten tired after working the whole d,,"
He had not even finished when he got zapped by many bolts of lightning; he faked laugh and said "I was kidding, no need to get serious."
