Chapter 251

"I'm actually thinking of letting you stay in the Redemption, Redemption is indeed the safest place for you to stay. But just like the Elven Kingdom, the Redemption has a sly leader too. In fact, I'm not sure who's the more devil. A wolf who wears sheep clothes and acting innocent or a lion who head-on kills his enemies."

Andromeda didn't know what she meant but she still nodded. She understood that she was not safe if she stayed in the Elven Kingdom and Redemption.

"Then where should I stay?"

"If my calculations are right, you have to use a week or two to acquire your second Skill by using the Evolution Stone. After that, the enemies will stop hunting you since it's already futile. If that man doesn't accept Miriam's call, I will take you to her and let you absorbed the Evolution Stone in her mansion. Nothing can escape her eyes so it's the best place for you. Miriam can easily see through any killing intent."

Andromeda nodded again. She was surprised that she would meet another founding member. She just recently met Kyle and Christian, and she could say one thing. Monsters. They were monsters in human skin.

Kyle, Christian, and even Niña were releasing unfathomable power. She was just a simple Hunter but now she was becoming related to them because of this incident. Still, in all of them, there's one person that she was eager to meet.

'But Niña will be angry if I asked her about Mikael…'

Was she a coward? No, Andromeda was doing the best way to meet Mikael. As long as she was alive, she will see him.

Niña had this tendency to go crazy whenever it was related to Mikael so Andromeda decided to keep quiet about her plan of betrayal.

Yeah, Mikael's girls are all sly and calculative. Even Furrneka has a calculated side of her. Let's say that Mikael is a chick magnet of sly(crazy) women.

"Hm? Are you going to say something?"

"N- No, nothing."

Niña raised her brow because she felt like Andromeda was thinking about something. Andromeda refuted her as she waved her hands in denial. She couldn't say that "I might see your boyfriend and seduce him."

Niña narrowed her eyes but decided to let it slide.

"Good… By the way, do you have a family? Like parents and siblings? We don't want them to be anxious, you know. You disappeared for six months, I bet they are worried about you."

She asked, probing Andromeda to speak all honesty. In truth, Niña knew everything about Andromeda. Before she even helped Andromeda, she already read files related to her. She knew that Andromeda was alone as her family was all dead because of a monster wave, just like what happened to Mikael's parents. Niña knew that Mikael and Andromeda have a connection but she wasn't sure what it is, she believed that there was something except for being classmates in Elementary. That's why she asked this question trying to probe if she could deduce their relationship.

'Mikael didn't talk about his ex-girlfriends… Let's see if Andromeda is one of them.'

She was thinking ahead.

"I don't have a family."

Andromeda smiled grimly as she shook her head. She couldn't help recalling the past where she ran endlessly just to escape a horde of Ants. Her shoulder was bleeding but she pushed her body to the limit. She was desperate to live. She even forgot about her family and just continued running. When everything was over, she realized that she was the only one who survived. All of her family, even her brother, died.

Andromeda bit her lower lip as she recalled that moment. It was painful.

"… I'm sorry for asking."

Niña said despite knowing it. She was definitely the Goddess of Death. She didn't hesitate to roast Andromeda.

"No, it's fine.

As for Andromeda, she was too naive and weaker. She didn't have enough experience of being sly. Although that would slowly change.

" I… I actually have someone to call… She's a friend that I met in the Punishment."

"Oh, do you want to call her? I have a phone."

"Yes please."

Andromeda didn't know Adalyn's phone number but she had a way to contact her. Internet was the best invention of humanity… except for anime, nothing beats anime, fight me. Especially Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Andromeda started searching Adalyn's through the search engine. However, her typing was disturbed by a sudden movement of the hovercar.

"Someone's following us. It's a tamed monster, a Golden Scale Drake."

Niña said as she steered, there was a Drake behind them and it was flying fast. Drake was one of the fastest monsters that could be tamed. It was a subspecies of Dragon and few types of Drake had Dragon Sense, an ability that Niña hated the most. The Golden Scale Drake has that kind of ability.

"Tch, they did their research huh."

Niña clicked her tongue and accelerated. The hovercar flew faster that even Andromeda clutched to metal handlers just to regain her foothold.

The Drake behind them started opened its mouth, it gathered mana in its throat. The Drake was going to attack using Dragon Breath. The monster spewed fire towards the hovercar.

A massive fireball traveled across trying to destroy the flying ship. Niña saw the incoming attack and decided to activate a barrier. Christian was sophisticated, he won't ride a car without any protection. That's why Niña chose to ask him for a car.

The barrier blocked the fireball and the red flame disintegrated into smoke. The hovercar was not damaged but Niña understood that it won't take a while for the ship to fall. The barrier won't keep up with continuous bombardment. Especially if Hunters were part of the problem.

"So they are moving."

Niña sensed the Hunters who were riding on the Drake moved. They started casting their Skills.

One of them was Titania, the woman that has a Skill called [Sonic Scream]

The woman held her breath and screamed the shit out of her lungs and the barrier protecting the hovercar started breaking.

"She's back. I guess she wants to die."

Niña said. Her eyes were gleaming with a deadly ambiance.
