Chapter 98 - Pandemonium (3) (1/2)

When Aya saw the two crawlers falling to the ground, she sighed in relief in his mind.

Likewise, when one of the crawlers stood up again, she tensed up.

Aya had not much information about Aleen's skill, but she knew that he couldn't use it freely; otherwise, he would use it more often.

So, though it was very powerful, he probably couldn't use it again for the time being.

Of course, Aya doubted it would be a problem for Aleen. He probably could face the creature while waiting to use his skill again and kill it… Maybe, he could even kill the creature without using his skill.

But while Aleen could take care of himself, Aya knew that he could not help them while he was fighting.

So, they had to face the last level-two for themselves.

Aya had experience fighting a level-two. When she was facing the huge zombie, she could feel how much stronger it was compared with normal zombies. To be honest, even when she had the help of Lily and the two bodyguards, she wasn't sure of being able to kill it.

If it wasn't because Aleen appeared just in time, perhaps some of them would have died.

And now, they had to face another creature like that, and Aleen could not help them.

Aya knew that this fight would be dangerous.

But though she was afraid, she was not cowering.

Growing without parents as an orphan, and then living in the streets, taught her to be strong. She never trusted someone to help her, and always used her own capabilities to resolve her troubles.

This time, it was the same.

Even if she didn't know what her skill was, she was a level-two too.

And if Aleen could face a level-two without help, how could she fear another level-two when she had the help of Lily and the two bodyguards?

So, when the creature jumped towards her, she didn't cower.

She never learned to use a spear, but she knew how to swing a stick. So, she put all her strength on her arms, and swung the stick down in the direction of the creature.

However, it avoided the attack easily. The creature moved at great speed and twisted its body while extending a claw to tear Aya apart.

Aya instinctively ducked down, evading the claw. However, it gave the crawler enough time to close the remaining distance between them and open its mouth to attack her.

Aya was unable to avoid it; the attack was too fast and unpredictable. She could only stare while the rotten mouth of the creature advanced towards her neck.

Fortunately, Lily moved at that moment.

She extended her two front paws and pounced against the crawler's face. The creature detected the attack, and unwillingly, avoided it jumping towards a wall, giving Aya enough time to recover her stance.

But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the crawler jumped towards them again.

This time, it attacked one of the bodyguards.
