Two days later.
Passing through broken buildings where many roots were creeping through the streets and walls, Ark and his two comrades looked quite serious. Plus the fog was so thick, such a place was perfect for being used by the mutated beasts hiding.
Especially insects and reptiles.
Not just where the Ark is now, but the entire city of mist is perfect for living with mutated animals such as insects, reptiles, and amphibians. Mammals seem to be harder to find here.
“Truly boring~”
Aisha let out a long sigh with a lazy expression on her face. Looking towards Ark and Angelica, the woman asked.
“Do we always have to live life like this, Ark? I mean, travel around, explore the world, and keep moving aimlessly like a ghost.”
Hearing the question, Ark answered without looking.
“Continue traveling to search for resources and things that can be used to thrive is a sure thing. But that doesn't mean we don't have a place to go back.
Although difficult, but all must be passed for a satisfactory result. Yes, at least ... we have a place that deserves to be referred to as ‘home’.”
Ark's reply made the two women look at each other. Although they did not know what the main headquarters was like. Yet they really wanted to see it because it was a place that Ark considered important.
“I really can't wait to go home~”
Aisha said with a smile on her face.
“Ya.” Angelica nodded. “I am also curious. Want to go to the main headquarters as soon as possible.”
Continuing to walk forward, Ark slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
“Then you must be more patient because many things still need to be resolved in this city.”
“Ya, Chairman!” answer them both in unison.
Continuing to walk rather quickly, Ark and his two comrades were almost at their destination.
The place they were heading to was the border between the territory of the Golden Maple Group and the Imperial Phoenix. Not just the border. More precisely, they went to where the two groups had once had a meeting.
Before they reached the location, Ark suddenly raised his right hand. He gestured for his two comrades to stop. The young man then watched around.
A few moments later, he said.
“It seems to be your lucky day, Aisha.”
“Oh?” Aisha raised her eyebrows.
“Miracle root you want ushered to doorstep.”
Hearing Ark's explanation, Aisha's eyes immediately sparkled. Yesterday, he invited Ark and Angelica to find a suitable root miracle. However, not only did it meet less than five level 2 creatures, but there was absolutely no root miracle suitable for him nor Angelica.
Now, unexpectedly, the miracle root with the unique ability he wanted was actually on the doorstep (coming to him without being searched).
“Where are you referring to, Ark?”
Hearing that question, Ark shrugged his shoulders. Glancing at Aisha, the young man said.
“You have to find it yourself. To be sure, the creature was within less than 200 meters. Although I can finish it easily, but it is better that you use this opportunity to train your abilities against monsters.
By the way, you also fought Angelica. Fighting can accelerate the development of your abilities.”
Angelica nodded seriously as she replied, “Understood.”
Meanwhile, Aisha pursed her lips with a dissatisfied expression. It seems unhappy that it is not helped, but instead is told to train new members.
Looking towards Ark who could not be messed with, Aisha rolled her eyes before saying.
“Take out your sword and hold it tight, Little girl. Watch around well and don't be too nervous.” Aisha took out two short swords while glancing at Angelica. “We go now.”
“Good!”
Angelica nodded, then followed Aisha away looking for their ‘partner workout’.
Ark himself was looking for a place to sit back. Sitting on one of the giant roots, the young man took off his mask and took out a cigarette.
Lighting a cigarette and sucking on it, the young man looked towards Aisha and Angelica left with a relaxed expression. Even so, he also remained vigilant to ensure that his two comrades did not have an accident. After all, there was no 100% certainty of winning in fighting monsters.
Too many factors can affect the outcome.
“Basic cursed creature! How dare you ruin the hairstyle I've been taking good care of!”
Hearing a scream followed by some rude speech, Ark exhaled smoke from his mouth while shaking lightly. It was truly unexpected that the woman's mouth was still as loud as before.
Relaxing his neck muscles, Ark then stood up. Black wings emerged from his back then flapped rapidly. The young man then flew to where Aisha and Angelica were.
Arriving there, Ark sees the scene where Aisha and Angelica fight a creature the size of a Harley motor. Not too big, but not considered small
The creature has a chameleon-like appearance. The difference is, the body of the creature is thin and has four long legs. His head looked extremely large with three horns. It looks weird, even kind of disgusting.
Swooshes!
Unlike the normal chameleon that runs not so fast, the creature moves very fast. He can climb walls and jump so far.
Not only that, the creature can also do camouflage very well.
‘Not only able to do camouflage, but also lower his body temperature. Creatures in this city seem to be interesting indeed.’
Swooshes!
The long tongue darted rapidly towards Aisha.
A slash!
Angelica who was guarding the back directly cut off the tongue. With sufficient strength and good equipment, mutated chameleon tongues are cut so easily.
At that moment, Aisha immediately turned around and ran towards where the creature was. Without waiting for long, he threw one of his swords.
The mutated Chameleon directly avoided the sword throw. However, Aisha's voice suddenly sounded not far from where she had jumped.
“Because of you!”
Having just landed and having not had time to jump again, the mutated chameleon saw a sword approaching. It grew right in front of his eyes.
Jem!
Aisha directly pierced the creature's eyes viciously.not stopping there, she took out two other knives then stabbed the rest of the eyes and slashed the bottom of her neck.
The woman bravely leaped onto the creature's back, holding its horn from behind as it continued to ruthlessly stab its neck.
Moments later, the chameleon that had originally jumped here and there to escape finally stopped moving. Completely out of breath and lost his life.
Successfully killing the creature, Aisha looks up at Ark. Sign ‘peace’ with his left hand while smiling cheerfully.
Looking towards the woman who was so excited, Ark and Kinma looked at each other before shaking their heads simultaneously.
***
About five hours later, Aisha came out of a building with a satisfied smile on her face.
“What capabilities do you get?”
Hearing Ark's question, Aisha raised her chin proudly.
“Strength, agility, and flexibility are bonuses. The main ability I get is camouflage and wall climbing like lizards or geckos.”
“Although should chameleon?”
Angelica tilted her head. They seem confused and less understanding.
“Who cares about that? That's obviously my ability.”
After saying that, Aisha turned her gaze towards Ark.
“Omong-by the way, my body is getting fitter and very very flexible.” The woman blinked her eyes. “You tried it Ark?”
Ignoring Aisha teasing him, Ark got up and said.
“If it is finished, then we will continue the journey. I had a chance to see the people from the Imperial Phoenix. We should have been able to get a hint from them.”
Seeing Ark leaving immediately and Angelica following him, Aisha sneered dissatisfiedly. While walking, the woman started to grumble.
“Cih! You really aren't engrossed, Ark~”
