Chapter 67: Battle Style
Alex's party headed into the forest fearlessly.
A few monsters from the forest, mainly black wolves, had attacked them a few times. Those kinds of monsters were nothing in the party's eyes.
Not only did Alex and the ladies know about those wolves and their patterns, but they also had two times more levels. Their strength just topped those cursed monsters.
BANG!
The sound of collision echoed through the forest.
Alex and the black wolf clashed with each other. Since the level gap turned that battle into bullying, Alex focused on something different.
His battle style with Stella on his back.
She could stick close to him like that due to their profound connection. Alex still couldn't understand the principle behind it. Still, the fact that the skill came out of that connection meant that she trusted him more than everyone else in the Deathwill Castle.
Perhaps, the naked body contact did more than it should have? After they saw each other thoroughly naked and honest talk, their trust skyrocketed.
Alex also decided that he would be blunter with Stella and see her more.
Moreover, there was a saying that the mixed hot springs brought people together, but that was the eastern saying that Alex couldn't really confirm.
Nonetheless, Stella wouldn't give up on that skill. She sounded so comfortable, and Alex also couldn't complain as he literally had one of the strongest healers on his back, to say nothing of Stella's body constantly reminding him of how soft girls were.
Thus, Alex could only adapt, and he delightfully worked toward it!
'In this party, I must watch out for my every move. I can't only pay more attention to the attacks from behind. If I thrust in, I also expose a little of Stella's defenseless body. I must be faster and decisive,' Alex thought.
That was what Alex inferred.
He couldn't test it against the black wolves as he topped them with his raw stats. After killing his only enemy, Alex drew more black wolves to himself. He paid more attention to his surroundings with so many of them and simply dodged them all.
His sword left minor wounds during all his dodges.
"Stella. You haven't suffered any wounds, right?" Alex asked after killing the group.
Stella replied within his hair, "No."
"Good. We can use this for a little training," Alex grinned; his mood was pretty good.
But as he turned his eyes to the side, he saw the dullahan momma and the sexy cat looking at them with squinted eyes.
Of course, Alex took his time, but these two simply dominated their enemies. In other words, they didn't waste time!
Wasn't that Alex's principle, though?
He awkwardly smiled, "Well… I thought it was a good idea."
Stella didn't reply. She didn't even rear her head to look at her sisters.
Schnee clicked her tongue, "It is a good idea, but now?" The way she looked at Alex and Stella was much different from Sara's.
The dullahan momma had a warm look on her face as she stared at her sister and Alex. She faintly smiled, then appeased Schnee's impatience.
Sara parted her lips, "You both look adorable-"
Schnee chimed in, "They do. And I can tell you want to switch places with Stella. Hey, Stella! Your sweet spot-"
Sara wanted to comment on that. Naturally, it was also hard to stop Schnee from talking once she started babbling. However, at this very moment, the two sisters stopped moving; their eyes went toward Stella's face.
Yes, the lazy girl lifted her head and looked down on her sisters with her usual expression. But in those golden eyes, Stella hid a genuine threat!
"No steal. Alex's back. Mine," Stella whispered.
Sara awkwardly laughed, "I wouldn't be able to saddle his back. I don't have your unique skill, Stella. Besides, look at my armor."
Stella hid her face in Alex's hair after those words.
Sara let out a sigh, then glared at Schnee, who had turned her head around, whistling as if nothing had happened.
That was when Sara came out with her proposition.
"We don't know where this guy hides. Since I also have a minimap, we can split into two parties and search for him. How about it?" Sara proposed.
Although Sara would like to see more of Alex and be on his team to deepen the bond with him, their circumstances didn't allow for such a duo party.
And Stella rarely showed anger, so it wouldn't be wise to irritate her for a second time this fast.
Sara added, "Schnee and I will go this way. You two can continue your slow march while practicing a new battle style on the black wolves. Since we have no means to use chat like players, we can only rely on what we have.
That's why we will communicate through minimap. If you find Wolfen Demon, just stop and wait for us. And if you need help, separate in the opposite direction. I will keep an eye on the minimap. Stella! I hope you listen, and you will let out your wings if need be!"
Stella replied, "Ok."
Sara nodded, pleased, "Then, we will be going. Good luck!"
"You totally sounded like your daughter now. Oh, since you can see him on the minimap…" Schnee spoke with a little tease, then ran away from the dullahan momma.
Sara ran after her.
Alex laughed aloud at those two sisters, then looked up, "Hold tight. From this moment onward, I won't stop until we see Wolfen Demon!"
"…"
A fun training began.
Sara and Schnee moved faster than before.
Two ladies fought against many black wolves on their way around the forest.
Wolfen Demon always appeared in the areas with black wolves around. Alas, the sisters hadn't found him yet…
Schnee complained, "That's why it is better to wait for them to come out. I don't care for what reason they come out. It's so easier this way!"
The moment those words rang out, Wolfen Demon appeared from the shadows.
He stood behind Schnee, his form eclipsing her pretty humanoid form, "Be honored then. I will save you some effort."
His claw went down in the blink of an eye!
"Schnee!" Sara cried out as she saw her sister was not moving at all.
Even worse, the madman was already in his Ultimate Skill form!
The dullahan momma's heart jumped.
