“We arrived”

After 20 minutes of walking into the forest, we arrived at the Amazon village

The first thing I notice is the stench of blood in the air

“Shit!”

“Somebody h…e…l..p”

“Mom! Hang in there, mom!”

A lot of screaming could be heard.

I remember this scene. it was familiar

Too familiar.

When we enter Alexia run to help the people in the village by applying her healing.

“Where is Liko?” I ask one of the amazon girls, that were helping some people.

“You…? You are the one from before…”

“Where is Liko, tell me!”

“Liko…. She is resting over there; she was one the most injured…”

I run and arrive at a house made of wood when I open the door 3 women were desperately attending someone one who was lying on the bed.

“Hurry! Use core-water to stop the inner bleeding!”

“Young Lady, please hang in there!”

The 4 girls were crying while converting the water cores in water essence to heal her.

“What is her condition!”

“Who… who are you!? If you want to harm our young Lady, you will first go to step over our dead bodies!” said the woman Amazon while the other 3 grab their spears

“Its…..It's…..Ok…… He is a friend.:” Said a weak voice

“Liko”

“Law……. Why....why are you here……?”

“I was hunting and by coincidence run into the three people who do this”

“You……. you actually saw them………. My little…..*cough*……..My little brother.. is he alright?!”

Said Loki while trying to move her body but then she makes a painful expression

“Young Lady! Don move so recklessly otherwise your injuries while only get worse!”

“I indeed saw them, they were talking about a thunder source….. what is that?”

“You! Even if you are the friend of our young lady there are things that you shouldn’t as-“

“The thunder source ……. It’s our more sacred place………………When our ancestor founded this place it was actually to protect the thunder source.

Basically, it’s a place where the thunder of the goddess, Lottus, it's purer……. too pure…… Our people think that it’s the purer thunder in the world….. however, the goddess Lottus told our ancestor that if she used the thunder source or tell someone about it……. I will be the end of our people… so our ancestor hides the localization.

Those people…. Want to acquire the thunder source…. They somehow knew that my mother would be at the inside zone of the forest hunting cores for our people……”

“I see……. If they can do this… the three of them must be at least at the teacher magus level… so they kidnap your little brother in hope that you tell them the localization…”

“That’s right… I let my people die…… and my birthplace place be destroyed…. even if I die I can't make up  for my sins.”  said Liko with tear in her eyes

“Young Lady! That’s not true! Any of us blame you for this, If there is anyone we have to blame are those fucking bastards! Even if I became a ghost I will not rest in peace until I see them dead!”

“That’s right young lady! we just need to wait until the Empress come back, then we will move our army to fight them to death!”

“That’s right young Lady!”

“If we wait until my mother come back….. Lin will be……” said Liko while clenching her fist

I, who was seeing all of these, suddenly came with an idea

“Liko……. Do you want to get revenge?”

“Of...of course”

“Then…. I will be……. I will be your avenger”

“huh?”

“I will kill those bastards and then bring their heads for you”

“Wha- what are you saying! They are three teacher magus!  You……..you aren’t even at the apex of the apprentice level!”

“That’s right, the me right now could not put a fight to them, much less kill them…. But what would happen if I suddenly reach the apex of the Apprentice level?”

“What are you…….! Wait are you saying!”

“That’s right, give me the localization of the thunder source and in three days… I will bring you the head of those three bastards”

“You! Trying to take advantage while we are on the floor! Can you more shameless! Young Lady, don’t listen to this bastard, let’s wait until the Empress come back!”

“That’s right young lady!”

While the Amazon girls were complaining, Liko just stays silent and look directly into my eyes.

“Alright”

“What!?? Young lady!”

“You can put all the blame on me when my mother comes back…..law, I can’t explain it, but I think that, even without the thunder source…. You will go and fight them.

That’s why I will tell you where the thunder source is but will tell you under two conditions and you have to swear under the name of your Goddess”

Swear under the name of the goddess, huh?

When someone breaks the promise they did under the name of the goddess, they will lose all the blessings of the goddess and, instead, they will be hated by the essence of that element making impossible to ever learn again.

“Sure”

“The first condition: You will never reveal the localization of the thunder source to anyone”

“I swear, by the name of my goddess, Lottus, that I will never reveal the localization of the thunder source!”

Suddenly, an electric chain appears in my index but disappear in an instant.

“The second condition: You will kill those bastards!”

“I swear, by the name of my goddess, Lottus, that I will kill those bastards”

“Ok….. I will tell you the localization of the thunder source……… It's actually right here……… under us!”
