Chapter 57: Put a Weakened Enemy in Front of me, I'll Kill it!

(*Celia’s POV*)

They said that it wasn’t far away, it that seemed to be correct. Not even an hour after leaving the capital, the carriage stopped once more. Picked up by Selen like a child, we exited the carriage.

Selen said something to the maids at the front of the carriage, and then we walked away. Well, they walked. I was being carried like a pretty, pretty princess. Wait! Why didn’t those maids protect me from Grace? Betrayers!!!

Anyway, we… I mean, they walked for an hour before we came across an interesting sight. There was a cave, and two Goblins were guarding the entrance to it. They were wearing some makeshift armor, but they didn’t look too difficult to deal with.

A gruesome sight awaited me, as Selen used magic to cut off the limbs of the two Goblins, and then float them right in front of me. Without batting an eye, I unsheathed my new and amazingly awesome dagger, and cut both of their throats.

This dagger had wind assist magic on it as well, which made it super easy to kill the Goblins. Checking the amount of Exp they give versus how much I gained, I got the full amount. Ah, so the System doesn’t accept assists? The Exp goes to whoever gets the end in the end, huh?

*Hours Later.*

Like that, Selen and Clarisa weakened every Goblin we came across, and then let me finish them off. All in all, I killed a few hundred of the damn things. At the end of the cave were some captive women, who we saved. What’s my status at now? Ah, it wasn’t that impressive, so I just spent all my SIP’s. Now my Status looks like this.

From this little endeavor, I got twenty levels up. Which isn’t bad. The problem is that I am still deaf, and my vision is weak. Ah, if you’re wondering how I saw that cave, it was because Selen used magic to enhance my vision. Unfortunately, the magic only lasts for a few seconds. So it isn’t a fix for my vision at all.

Selen: “Only twenty levels? We need to kill some more difficult monsters.” She said with a thinking pose.

Celia: “Oh! I can hear you! But just barely! Yeah, I need to kill something that gives far more Experience per kill.” I reply.

It’s not like I was unable to speak. It was just that when you cannot hear, speaking is too hard to do. Screaming in pain didn’t require me to be able to hear myself, after all.

Clarisa: “Ah! So this actually worked! Amazing!” She exclaimed.

Celia: “Very. Thanks for helping me out, you two.” I say with a smile.

Selen: “No need to thank us, Celia. I am just glad that you can hear once again. As limited as it is at the moment.” She said with a smile while rubbing my head.

Celia: “My vision didn’t get any better, though…” I say with a sigh.

Clarisa: “I am sure that it will get better soon.” She said with a confident tone.

There were only five captive women, so there was enough room on the carriage to take them back to the city. Selen needed to turn in the quest, as well as pick up a new one. The day was still pretty early, after all. And it seems that Selen and Clarisa wanted nothing more than to have me return to full health.

*Days Later.*

My vision has somewhat returned to normal, but not fully. At the very least, I can see fifteen feet ahead of me now. And the darkness is gone as well. Past that point, things are just blurry. And my hearing is way better too! Ah, here is my current Status!

Huh? Why did we stop at level sixty? Simple. Past that point, I couldn’t level up at all. Even my current EXP was bugged, just showing zero needed. Like when I am ready to evolve. But why the fuck did it get stuck?…

Clarisa: “If it won’t increase, then there is no reason for us to continue finding things for you to kill, Celia.” She said with a sigh.

Celia: “I know… It must be because my soul is damaged. How the hell does one even repair a soul?” I ask with a thinking pose.

Selen: “…There is a way.” She reluctantly said.

Celia: “There is?” I reply.

Selen: “Well… No. That will be a last resort. Between Clarisa, me and Victoria, we will surely find a far better way to heal you, Celia.” She vowed.

Celia: “Okay. Are we heading back to Victoria’s now?” I ask.

Clarisa: “Yes. You’ve earned a good rest. Now that you’re more able to be on your own, I am sure that you can relax more easily.” She answered.

Celia: “You two should rest as well. I am very grateful for you twos help.” I say with a smile.

Clarisa: “…”

Selen: “…”

Celia: “What?” I say with a head tilt.

Selen: “Your smile is intoxicating, Celia. Did you seduce your wives with it?” She asked.

Celia: “I don’t think so? I am pretty sure that I seduced them by accident, just because I pampered and care for them greatly. I have four daughters, you know. I more than know how to please a woman. Both sexually and nonsexually.” I reply.

Clarisa: “Four daughters!? Aren’t you a lesbian?” She asked with a shocked tone and expression.

Celia: “All four are adopted by me! If a man ever put their hands on me, well, that would be his last day of living.” I reply with a laugh.

Selen: “…”

Clarisa: “You’re very fun to be around, Celia. We didn’t talk much, but I didn’t realize how I’ve missed your cheekiness.” She said with a giggle.

Celia: “Am I really that cheeky?” I say with a head tilt.

Clarisa: “…”

We had gone a far distance away from the city, so it took us the rest of the day to get back to Victoria’s estate. By the time we got there, it was already pitch black outside. Unlike in most dimensions, this world gets unholily dark at night. Like, the moon is barely reflecting the sun at all…

I said goodnight to Clarisa and Selen, and then I went back to my room. It feels nice to be able to be on my own after so long. Jumping onto my bed, I didn’t even bother to take a bath. Though, Selen did use healing and cleaning magic on us, so it’s not like I am going to get the bed dirty. With a sigh, I soon fell asleep.
