CHAPTER NINETY-TWO Left with no choice, Borius joined the others at once, after he had struggled with the attempt to conBorius himself that he didn’t need to get something to eat even when he knew deep inside himself that he was entirely hungry. He sighted a huge fish moving slowly inside the river, and he quickly stabbed it with his spear and lifted it gently from the water. “Well, that was very quick,” Lucy said excitedly, surprised at the fact that Borius was the first to catch a fish even though he seemed to be entirely against them stopping to get something to eat. “I didn’t know you were hungry, brother.” Sierra turned to look at her brother with a smirk on her face, while she held onto the arrow she attached to her bow. Her brother didn’t bother to look at her, knowing that she was a bit frustrated after attempting to shoot the fish he caught twice to no avail. The effects of her pursuit made the fish swim slowly which made her brother catch it really quickly with just a

CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR The path ahead of them was deserted, but they had each other, and that was all that mattered. Wielding their weapons and ready to fight off any form of attack, the six adventurers walked through the path with moderate and steady steps, eager to get to their destination as soon as possible. “We need to hurry, guys! We have to get to the seven mountains before sunset. We do not know what lies ahead of us.” Jarden said, inviting them to increase the speed of their steps while they walked along the path. They didn’t realize it, but they had been rejuvenated after eating the fish from the river, and the speed of their steps increased while they marched energetically through the path. Now long after, Seth began to whistle a particular rhythm in a straight pattern while he maintained a bright smile on his face. It was obvious that he was basking in the euphoria of the thoughts that lingered in his mind, probably from the memories he shared with his beloved whom he cou

CHAPTER NINETY-SIX Standing still amidst the suspense that engulfed them, the adventurers kept looking around while Patrick held onto the arrow that puzzled him entirely. “Listen, guys…” Seth said to his companions, looking in the direction of the valley while the rest of the adventurers turned toward that direction as well, their ears eager to hear what was going on. “Can you hear that? Is no one hearing what I am hearing?” Seth asked after a few seconds, looking at his companions who seemed confused and unable to grasp what he was talking about. “What is that, Seth? What are you talking about?” Borius asked almost immediately, confused just like the rest of the adventurers who gave up their attempts to find out what the Centaur was talking about. “I am surprised you guys didn’t hear that, now it’s gone…” Seth sighed softly, looking at Patrick who seemed to be the only one listening to hear what he was talking about. Sierra sucked her teeth, and then she rolled her eyes at Se

CHAPTER NINETY-EIGHT Eventually, the leader of the savage men changed his mind about moving closer to Sierra which was somehow understandable even though no one knew his reasons, and the other adventurers had their eyes on him while they wondered why he stopped. He walked up to a spot where he was certain that the five adventurers were going to see him clearly, and then he cleared his throat twice. “Kneel.” He said calmly, but the five of them were so bewildered that he could speak after they all behaved that they were unable to produce any other sound apart from the hootings he made alongside his men who were ready to attack. “Kneel!” He commanded with a compelling tone, causing them to go on their knees without any hesitation, grunting in so much pain the moment their knees hit the rocky ground. Lucy turned almost immediately to look at Seth who was still not moving as he lay still on the floor, his sword lying waste on the floor glittered under the effects of the sunlight. Th

CHAPTER HUNDRED At that time, Sierra expressed the displeasure she felt from the rules that Kael was still mentioning. She felt they were one-sided, but it looked like he was aware, and didn’t care about their opinions even though they grumbled instantly. “Finally…” Kael continued with a low tone, looking at Sierra with a confident smile on his face while he got ready to mention the final rule. “The challenger is allowed to pick multiple weapons, but the opponent is only entitled to just one weapon. I suggest she makes the right choice or be faced with a lesser chance of lasting longer than expected.” Kael walked up to Sierra, and after leaning forward to her right ear, he whispered to her with a smirk on his face. “I can’t wait for him to tear you into pieces. I wonder how long you are going to last before he breaks all your bones and chops off your head.” Kael sniggered with a low tone while he took backward steps away from Sierra who looked at him at once, and attempted to pret
