The Ring Of Chaos

Chapter : 13 – New Member

Hearing the introduction made by Asahi, without being prevented again the dozen people became daunted with their accomplices shivering violently. There was even someone among them whose pants were already wet with an unpleasant smell.

"Why...why is Dragon Republic here?" said one of the dozens of people.

"I just happened to pass by."

Moments later, no more conversations took place between the two parties. They felt a strong sense of intimidation pressure from the figure of Tanaka Asahi. Let alone the conversation, just breathe they are already in trouble.

Begin to cross the sneaky idea in the old man's head. He then unsheathed the sword and directly aimed it at Sakura's neck. Seeing this, the man who was about to kill Sasaki did the same.

"Go..don't disturb us or.This girl is a victim. Hehe... Surely you came for some reason, is this girl your lover? Too bad, from today on she should be my wife" the man said confidently.

Sakura who was being harassed and sword-pierced like that did not pay any attention to her words at all. From earlier his gaze was focused on Asahi who was still standing without that sound.

"My love? It has nothing to do with you, right? Even if he was my lover, do you think you could kill him by sword-pointing like that? Just so you know, with my speed, even if you're at that point I'm still able to save him."

"Eh.." Unknowingly the pair of tear-soaked cheeks were blushing. It is so red that it is difficult to distinguish whether the cheeks are flushed because of crying or because of Asahi's speech just now.

"Well, but there will be people who save him." continued Asahi indifferently.

His words surprised the dozens of people, not least the hostage taker Sakura. He wanted to snap again but suddenly there was another clash coming from above.

"Huh?" their reflexes all looked up.

"Keep away from heraaa!!" this dance echoed throughout the forest. A second later, from up there slid down a man with a sword in hand who immediately slashed towards Sakura's hostage-taker.

"Ohhhh!!" the man jumped back to avoid the sword of the man who was none other than Kento.

"Hey you, don't move or–aaahhh!!"

"Dead.." muttered the beautiful black-coated girl. His little sword broke through the back of the hostage taker Sasaki. It was Charlotte who ambushed from behind.

"Ahhh–Ahhhh!!"

Twice there was a consecutive sound in the afterbirths splashing fresh blood everywhere. Two other people were killed with severe injuries when Amaya and Ken slashed him.

"You're looking for trouble with us shit!"

"Trang–Trang!"

After saying so, Kento's sword moved swiftly to cut through Sakura's chains of shackles. Charlotte releases Sasaki immediately.

"Miss, are you okay?" kento asked with an anxious look. His heart became flowery as this girl before him looked with cheeks together and eyes wide open. In his heart, he assumed this girl was starting to become interested in him.

This incident cannot be separated from Asahi's vision. It was the girl who kept looking at him, and it was Kento who misinterpreted the girl's true gaze aimed at him. Made him sigh heavily while shaking his head.

"It's trouble. Obviously trouble!" Asahi shook her head a few times while revealing a bitter expression.

While on Kento's own side, in his heart he was very grateful to Asahi who he considered easier his role as a "hero" for the lady.

"Thank you Asahi! You're the best friend!"

Other people thoughts feelings. If Kento was pleased to think his actions had worked, then Sakura was amazed to see the person he looked up to.

"Tanaka Asahi...isn't it the third player in the ranking of the strongest players in the entire world?"

"No matter Dragon Republic or whatever, whoever dares to take my prey, must die!!"

Accompanied by this shout, the robed old man along with a dozen of his men immediately charged towards the five men. But either way, it's the same as suicide. Asahi who was able to defeat several Evil Bear in a single hit was probably capable of being harmed by those people. Soon they were all gone.

"Sister, are you okay!?" Sasaki was only aware of her brother's condition and he immediately approached. But what he found was, his brother's pair of eyes were wide-eyed looking to one side. When Sasaki directed her gaze towards the look in her brother's eyes, her face immediately turned strange.

"Oh.he managed to melt the iceberg." said Sasaki inwardly as he looked at Asahi.

"Sister?" Sasaki called again.

"Who..!" as if awakening from a dream, Sakura was a little surprised to hear her sister's voice. To dispel any strange thoughts that might come to the man's mind, he hurriedly said.

"What's wrong?"

"are you okay?"

"Haha, take it easy Sasaki, don't I look good?"

While the brothers were having a conversation, Asahi approached Kento.

"I'm sure you didn't see the woman's face? She's her brother, and that's her sister." Kento replied. "If her sister wants to, her sister will come!" continued.

"What are you waiting for then? Hurry up and get him to join!" Asahi is urged and embraced by Kento.

Kento, whose heart was blossoming because he thought Sakura had been "interested" in him, immediately approached and said kindly with a big smile.

"Sorry miss, after seeing the courage of the lady and sister, we became more and more amazed and interested. Our previous offer is still valid, are the ladies and gentlemen willing to join our alliance?"

"Yes, I want to. And my brother has to come with me!" reply Sakura as fast as lightning.

"What's? Brother, you rejected him!"

"Sasaki, trust your sister!"

Hearing Sakura's kind response, Kento's face beamed. If you don't remember there are a lot of people there, maybe he's been jumping around in excitement. He immediately took out a metal slab engraved with a dragon, this was the identity of the Dragon Republic.

Each alliance, is decorated with a metal slab bearing the alliance logo. The metal would later be owned by all members of the alliance, and the metal would also serve to incorporate others into the alliance. Just like Kento does today.

He pointed the metal plate towards Sakura and Sasaki. Then the flat object was luminous and on the part of the dragon's eyes, a bright red light came out. The slab uses its magic to identify the shape of the face, body shape, skin color, hair color and so on of the prospective member.

After a while, the light on the metal dimmed and finally disappeared.

"Well, you guys are officially members of Dragon Republic. My name is Hikaru Kento, the leader of the alliance. What's your name?" kento asked after reinserting the metal into his spatial ring.

"Sakuras. This is my twin brother Sasaki."

"Price?"

"We don't have any."

Kento nodded in understanding. Then he told his friends to introduce themselves.

"I'm Charlotte" she said, raising her index and middle fingers of her right hand.

"Seina Amaya."

"Ken Seina."

"Tanaka Asahi's. Welcome to our alliance, Sakura, Sasaki." The last Asahi introduced himself while giving a speech.

"Thank you everyone" said Sakura as she lowered her body followed by her sister.

"Oh, by the way, what exactly is the medicinal plant you're looking for here? As you recall, there are no medicinal herbs in the area." asked Ken a little confused to the two brothers.

Sakura sighed violently and took out her quest scroll, then showed the paper to the others.

"Blue Leaf Grass, an ordinary medicinal plant that he said grows around here. But I can't believe we've been deceived."

Asahi observed the shape of the plant carefully, then looked at the payment if the quest was successfully carried out.

"It makes no sense, where is the Blue Leaf Grass here? If not wrong, there is a Blue Root Grass. And the shape is completely different from this. Blue Root Grass has blue roots so that from the outside it looks like ordinary grass. And what is this reward? Blue Root Grass is not that easy to find!"

Hearing Asahi's remark, Kento and the other veteran players nodded in affirmation. Then Amaya said.

"But I remember the Blue Root Grass growing around here. I used to work on C-level quests to collect various plants. One of them is the Blue Root Grass I found near this ravine."

"But, the quest giver is dead. Even if I manage to finish this, then what if the quest giver just dies?" Sakura said desperately.

"This is still useful, just sell the drug to us, we will buy it. This plant is quite rare and we often use it to make various potions" Asahi said suddenly.

"What, what do you mean?" Kento answered quickly.

"Have you forgotten the first person to join this alliance? Even longer than me or Ken? That Nara could definitely make something out of this, and I thought maybe she'd be a little happy to hear there's a new member?"

Kento was slightly startled and smiled wryly, "Ah, really too, we have an expert alchemist like him. Why can I forget? Hehe...."

Their conversation continued to flow without anyone noticing Amaya's departure. This girl left suddenly to look for the existence of the Blue Root Grass. Until a few minutes later...

"Hey, you all, come here! Found it!!"

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
