One week just passed.
At the temporary headquarters training ground of Sword of Sufferings, Ark was doing daily training with Angelica.
“Less ... still less.”
Seeing Angelica slashing at him as fast and as powerful as she could, Ark continued to dodge attacks with ease. Although the woman exerted all her abilities, the result was still the same.
He couldn't touch Ark's clothes in the slightest!
Bruaks!
Ark kicked Angelica lightly. The woman immediately crashed and rolled on the street.
Seeing the figure instantly rise up and re-attack without changing expression, Ark quietly nodded.
“Indeed, compared to first joining, your ability has improved by leaps and bounds. However ..”
Ark grabbed Angelica's wrist and pulled her. The young man's feet immediately swept over. By the time the woman lost her balance, she directly slammed him onto the floor.
“To survive in this crazy world. That's it still less.”
Sensing the violent impact from the impact, Angelica spurted out a mouthful of blood. Aware of no longer being able to stand up, he simply lay there on his back while staring at the sky covered in gray fog with a blank expression.
In this time, the Sword of Sufferings had gathered what was required. They have made many tools and potions. Not only that, they had also gathered detailed information about the middle circle.
Ark deliberately delayed their trip. Not just to train Angelica, but there are other things that make it serious.
On the way to find information, Huginn and Muninn are injured!
Although it wasn't big news like an enemy ambush or an accident to a core member of the Sowrd of Sufferings, Ark didn't take it for granted. It was impossible for Huginn and Muninn to be injured by the attacks of ordinary creatures. So to be sure, the opponent is dangerous.
Moreover, Ark did not expect such a creature to be in the outer circle at all. Therefore, he made a decision ...
Eliminate the creature to eliminate unnecessary risks!
Finally Ark waited for his two pets to recover. Just today, Huginn and Muninn had made a full recovery. So, in addition to searching for the miracle root for Angelica, she plans to go hunting.
“Pack your things. We'll go today.”
Ark glanced at Angelica who had just been able to stand up with a flat expression.
“You just finished breaking through the first boundary, finally becoming a level 1 fighter. So you need to get used to it as soon as possible. In addition, it is time you get a gift.”
“Gift?” ask Angelica.
“Follow me, and you will understand.”
“Good, Mr.”
Despite still feeling the pain all over her body, Angelica still walked along to where Ark was going.
***
In the afternoon.
‘Finding a level 1 special zombie is really not easy. Not to mention, matching zombies.’
After searching for so long and finding it, Ark let out a long sigh. Quietly complaining inwardly due to dissatisfaction.
The young man looked at the green zombie with a body full of muscles with a cold face. Both the creature's hands and feet were cut clean. Even if it had the power of regeneration, it would take some time to fully recuperate.
Ark then turned his gaze to Angelica.
“Kill it.”
“Ya, Sir!”
Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Angelica instantly advanced and slashed the neck of the level 1 special zombie. After a while, the creature was finally wiped out.
“Take the heart.”
Hearing Ark's words, Angelica unhesitatingly dug up the creature's heart. After taking the heart, he immediately gave it to his master.
Ark received the heart without the slightest hint of disgust. He split it with a knife then took out the miracle root.
“This is the thing you want.”
“Is that what I need? Can you really get from low-level zombies?”
Hearing that, Ark could only shake lightly. He knew that such a thing was unacceptable for a while. So finally the young man explained the short way it was used. Tell Angelica to absorb before losing its effect.
“Good, Mr.”
Though somewhat confused, Angelica still does what Ark wants. He went in search of an enclosed space suitable for use as a place of evolution.
A few hours passed by, Angelica finally walked out of the room.
Ark looked towards Angelica. Despite being quite amazed by her transformation from a caterpillar to a butterfly, she still held back from having seen it many times in her previous life.
Clean white skin, beautiful face, black hair, and eyes like amber. Plus the figure that looks amazing after eating, exercise, and enough rest ... Angelica is a woman that many people crave.
“A-Is there something wrong with my face, sir? Did I fail to absorb it?”
Since there was no mirror, Angelica only knew that her body had changed after absorbing the root miracle. Not only has it become stronger, but the flesh has regenerated. The thing is, he has absolutely no idea what he looks like.
“Follow me.”
Not explaining many things, Ark immediately invited Angelica to go to that place.
Arriving by the pool with a puddle of clear water, the young man told Angelica to use it to reflect.
“A-Is this me?”
Seeing the shadow reflected in the pond, Angelica immediately fell to her knees. Holding her recovered face, the woman immediately cried. I really did not expect her beauty to return.
Angelica turned to Ark. He immediately rushed to hug the young man. Ready to give everything to the master who ‘pick up’ and save him.
“Aduh!”
Angelica held onto her forehead with a shocked and depressed expression. He felt grateful that Ark had not only healed himself to obtain his body. However, the woman was also disappointed that she felt her appearance might be less attractive in Ark's eyes.
Given the figure of Roxanne who is no less beautiful than her, Angelica immediately understood.
Just then, Ark's voice came back to his ears.
“Stop acting like a monkey in season. You have got what you want most. Now ... do you believe in it completely?”
Hearing that question, Angelica immediately knelt down in front of the Ark.
“Thank you. Thank you for helping and realizing my dream, Mr.”
Ark nodded lightly. The young man seemed to be satisfied when he saw the obsession in Angelica's eyes. Although somewhat annoying, but he was still happy to be convinced that the woman had laid the foundation of loyalty.
There is little chance of betrayal!
“Then we will continue the journey.”
Saying that, Ark then left with Angelica. With the guidance of Huginn and Muninn, the two of them rushed towards where the two birds were attacked.
***
Almost midnight, Ark and Angelica finally arrive at the location.
Until there, they were immediately greeted with various oddities. Not just mossy buildings, there seemed to be many giant plant roots everywhere.
The giant roots themselves were filled with moss. The road section is lined with soil full of lush grass. There are also several water pools with various plants on the surface.
From its appearance, this place was similar to a swamp that had never been touched by humans!
Sensing something wrong, Ark immediately drew his sword as he said.
“Return to a safe place. You will only die if you stay here.”
After saying that, he closed his eyes while feeling the situation around with psychic energy. The innate ability to move objects without touching them (telekinesis).
After a while, the young man opened his eyes.
‘Truly good hiding skills.’
