BXBX NOVEL Chapter 131 - Ugly Monkey
"Attack her. Fuck!" One of them swore and dashed, disappearing from his position.
It was as if he was also fast like Ellena. But it was just for normal people. After seeing Ellena fight so many times, I\'ve been accustomed to speed. I can tell that this guy is slower than Ellena.
And as expected, Ellena kept up with the pursuer, even appearing next to him. He panicked and moved away from her in a hysterical way. However, Ellena just gleamed and executed another form of the technique.
She gracefully danced and slid her legs into a semi-circle. And in the blink of an eye, after sliding her legs, her arm stopped at her side, with the sword in her grasp. It was as if the sword was absent earlier, but in reality, it was moving according to her leg.
The body of the other pursuer was halved. His body detached, beginning with his abdomen, making the upper body and lower body separate.
All of the pursuers gritted their teeth and decided to attack Ellena together.
Seeing their disdain and eagerness, I can\'t help but grin. The excitement filling my body is unexplainable and unexpected. It\'s always there when I see people being killed. Well, not any type of person, the only people I despise.
Oh… how great is this? This feels like medicine to me. Am I being too violent? Well, my parents were not strict since they know I can handle myself. But still, this feels like it was always inside me. The thirst for blood.
Urgh. I\'m not a maniac! Get rid of these kinds of thoughts!
But I can\'t deny it. This is amazing.
A head started to get detached from a neck. It was a blink of a moment when another one appeared next to Ellena. And just as Ellena replied with attacks, they died before noticing it.
The remaining pursuers just pushed themselves forward despite seeing the gruesome scene they were in. Ellena just indiscriminately killed them. What are the chances of escaping? It\'s obvious that they can\'t escape, so they can only try their luck.
Another head. Another half-body. A cut leg. Their body was like a puzzle for me. It was detaching from their bodies.
Well, Ellena didn\'t torture them. She just killed them in an instant. Until the last one, his body was slashed into two from his head until his lower body. He was cut vertically.
This proves that one of my assumptions was wrong. It feels like learning one technique is akin to becoming a semi-master. Although I am not confident, Ellena is. It was as if she was just cutting the flesh of a fish.
Was her sword that strong? I mean, can it handle the pressure of her attacks?
I had already forgotten about the pursuers and only focused on Ellena, who was gasping for air. They weren\'t actually normal pursuers. They have skills.
They can slightly keep up with Ellena, but each of them didn\'t survive more than 10 seconds.
Ellena looked at her sword and touched a blunt part of it which was cracked from the excessive use of it.
See. Her sword\'s quality was declining. She needs to buy a new one.
"Ha! That was amazing, but this sword already needs a rest," she said.
"I guess we should visit a blacksmith for a new sword. This is your oldest sword, right?" I asked.
She nodded.
"You\'re right. Come on. Let\'s go back to the guild before another inconvenient pursuer arrives."
***
And so, we went back to the guild and surrendered the materials. Her quest is now done. Though we usually take a bunch of quests, right now we need a transition since we have things to prepare.
"Can I ask?"
"You just asked."
This receptionist is sarcastic.
She was the one who went with Ellena to change her name, so I think she knows Ellena\'s true identity. I kind of forgot about it, but it\'s not important since she might have forgotten about Ellena\'s face since it was so long ago.
I hope. And even if she can remember Ellena, I am confident that she won\'t cause any trouble to her since she is clear. Well, I can feel her admiration for Ellena, so she won\'t do it. Unless…
Never mind. I don\'t want unnecessary killing. I also feel things like justifying things. That\'s why I slowly taught things to Ellena and didn\'t force her an idea of mine to not care for others. Well, I am not raising a demon, but a savior.
Nevertheless, it\'s not my problem. Ellena can handle it. And even if some of her identity reached the mysterious organization. They couldn\'t dig enough since I am confident that Lushana is trustworthy to hold Ellena\'s past. Also, their defense is strong based on what kind of people I saw with her.
She already had a strong assistant. What more can I expect from her?
Ellena awkwardly scoffed before continuing her words.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Ellena showed the head of the chimeric monkey she slew earlier when she tried the technique.
The receptionist raised her eyebrows. "That is an Ugly Monkey," she said.
Ugly Monkey? That\'s a funny name for a monster. Did they scarcely use words? I think they did.
"What rank is this?" Ellena asked.
"It\'s currently rank A. Where did you get it?"
"I killed it in the Green Maple Forest."
Ah... this is also the unreasonable thing I noticed. They call places by utterly disgusting names. They just don\'t fit! They call it "Green Maple Forest", the forest where we went, but I didn\'t see any maple there!
Just calling names. Really?
The face of the receptionist was raised in surprise.
"As I expected. You are so strong." I heard her mumble.
"Do you mind if the guild pays for it too? I mean, the skin of this monster is an important material. And also, can you please write about everything that happened in the forest? Just the encounter with Ugly Monkey is enough since it is uncommon to see this type of monster in that forest."
Ellena nodded. She sold the materials since they were unneeded. Then, she wrote everything she noticed when she encountered the monster. After it, we finally left the guild and took her lunch.
Just after it, she secretly changed her clothes and went to Selena and Rosellete\'s room where Thalia was currently staying.
What\'s the plan? We still have another 2 days before the match.
