TCHINGG!
2 blades just clashed. Jack’s blade and the razer of the king mantania.
Jack: AAAAHH!
Jack continues trading blade clashes with the mantania king. But then Artemis starts running away, Or so it seemed but in reality she just was getting the perfect distance for her and her prey. Jack kept trading blows which shows the sheer speed that Jack has in his swordsmanship but the king was faster and slowly was getting some decent cuts in on Jack. But an arrow comes in with speed to hit the king, but the king seemed to block it?
Artemis: shit! How in the hell can such a creature fight and simultaneously block my arrows!?
Jack: continue with the arrows! It might give me an upper hand!
Artemis starts getting a little anxiety because she has to be perfect and not hit Jack with her arrows but they tend to move and switch position pretty fast and often. But nonetheless she has confidence in her ability, and starts assisting Jack with her arrows in such a precise way until…
TCHIK!
Artemis hits a clean hit on the king, which gives Jack an opening that quickly gets closed again by the king. After a little while Jack is getting more damaged until the king comes with a finishing slice.
TCHIK!
The king gets hit with a throwing knife from nonother then Jason. Jason grabs his sai’s and starts charging to assist Jack. Behind Jason comes Olleg also coming in for the rescue and starts to use his heavy hitting blows to damage the king. And after that a perfect shot from Artemis comes and hits the king right on it’s for head, which gives Jack the perfect opportunity to slice one of the arms off from the king. Artemis starts to notice that the king never screamed or made a sound the only thing that made sound was his blades clashing, nor did the queens assist the king. After seeing the other 3 starting to handle the king, she points her bow and arrow towards the queens who are still in a bowing position. After that she fires the arrow, but the queens blocked it while still in their bowing position. She is starting to have a bad feeling about those two meatures. After a while Jack comes in with a beautiful slice beheading the king and killing it.
The 3 boys: (heavy breathing)
Jack: we did it. Sigh…
Jack starts sitting down.
Artemis: it’s not over yet get ready!
Jack looks up at the queens, and sees them getting ready to fight. The left one jumps high up in the air and lands a decent distance behind the group, while the right one at the same time just lets it’s self fall down to land in front of the group. Jack quickly gets up and asks.
Jack: where is Lelib actually?
Olleg: he started collapsing on the ground and had a sudden surge of pain going through him, he said he’ll be fine and that it usually only lasts for about 10 min. But he screamed at us to go help u guys and just let him be there.
Jack: damn it!
Olleg: guys I’m going to charge my attack! Because I haven’t used my kichy at all these couple days I can charge it up in 4min! the plan is for you 3 to survive and somehow lure the 2 queens in my range so I can blast them away with my attack!
The other 3: got it!
Suddenly the queen that jumped started dashing at a even greater speed then the king and launched an attack on Artemis. Artemis quickly reacted and tried to dodge the attack but she couldn’t get away, the queen was too fast. But surprisingly she was aiming point blank on the queen while trying to dodge.
Artemis: you should have never gotten this close to me girl.
She shoots her arrow point blank at the queen which does some damage and slows the attack, while giving her enough time to dodge the attack. After a couple minutes of fighting the queens were too overpowering and the hope was getting smaller. They were al bruised up, and it was only a matter of time before a huge cut would happen and kill one of them first.
Jason: ahh shit! How much time we’ve got left!

Olleg: just 1 min hold on guys!
Artemis was running and grabbing her arrows of the ground to shoot them again, but one of the queens got a good slice on her back. But she pushed through and blocked the other attack with her bow. Jason came with a knife throw right on its face.
Jason: come quick I got an idea!
Jack was reaching his limits and is starting to lose too much blood
Jason: oh yoo-hoo! I got a couple of your eggs!
Jason started throwing his eggs he bought from the food market on to the ground. Even though they weren’t anything like the mantania’s eggs and were too small the 2 queens instantly started dashing towards the eggs to protect them. Jason quickly throws them in the air towards the middle.
Jason: NOW, OLLEG! AIM AT THE EGGS!
Olleg: nice one Jason! (he says with serious and scary tone)
Olleg had his hands together to charge the attack the whole time, and a brown like energy light ball was glowing in between his hands, and was ready to get launched. Olleg throws this ball of energy with full force towards the falling eggs and…
BOOOM!
The ball of energy hit the 2 queens and caused a huge explosion with in the big room. And when the smoke clears u see the 2 queens lifeless bodies on the ground one has half of it’s body missing and the other is so greatly damaged to the point it’s almost unrecognizable.
Jason: I uhh.. c-can’t believe it actually worked? WHAT!?
Artemis began hugging Jason and jack and Olleg were smiling and they all felt relieved but then…
BOOM!
They all are shocked and look at the wall that just broke on a higher platform in the room.
As the smoke clears… they see Lelib! He is looking all confused around him.
Lelib: is this the place? Hmm this place is pretty big I see something in the distance but can’t really tell if…
The rest of the group: LELIB!!
Lelib: wait a minute I recognize those voices! Everyone! Is everything ok!
Lelib starts rushing towards the group and they tell him everything that happened. Lelib was filled with joy and a boost of energy.
Lelib: I’m so proud of you guys! I can already tell u guys have improved, and not only that after this event you all will be even better! I will destroy all the remaining eggs. And we will all rest up some time in the nearby town.
After that Lelib went out and collected all the money from the mission, hooked up a place for everyone to get some medical treatment… with the help of Artemis because yeah, hospitals, hotels etc. are new for Lelib and he still has to kinda figure out how all of that works XD. After that Lelib bought some food and started to cook for them. Jason got out of his hospital bed and went faltering towards Lelib in the kitchen.
Jason: I never knew you could cook XD.
Lelib: haha I mean I lived most of my life alone so I basically had to learn it XD.
Jason: Actually speaking of that I never really learned about you and your past.
Lelib: lets save that for later, when we’ll go further with our journey to astone. We will make a campfire along with it and were all going to tell our backstory too each other to better know everyone.
Jason: (smiles) sounds fun bro.
they stayed a while in this town and got some medical treatment for 3 days. After that they healed and were going to head out of the hospital, although they are not a 100% recovered, They could easily move on and continue their journey.
Lelib: 4, 5, 6… we got 87 coins left
Jack, Artemis, Jason: WHAAAT!?
Jack: the mission gave us 4000 coins plus the money from the cyclops mission!
Lelib: yeah but, the medical bill, the food from previous days, and also the food and drinks for our journey aand the hotel from previous time. it all builds up you know.
Jason: we should take another mission.
Jack: I don’t know if that’s smart we should give our bodies more rest.
Lelib: I’ve had plenty of rest. Let me take a mission on my own.
Olleg: are you sure.
Lelib: yeah come on you know me XD. I’ll just take a pretty high level mission and then return that’s it. These meatures are nothing, at least the ones from D class and lower.
Jack: let’s see what mission is the best to take.
They head towards the bounty house, and try to pick the quickest and best mission possible.
Lelib: are these the himu bounties?
Jack: yes they are.
Lelib: some of them are higher than so many missions. Wow, how dangerous are they?
Jack: some of them are highly dangerous and some of them are just wanted dead so badly by the government. But I don’t really know the details, you can ask Jason about those stuff he was a professional bounty hunter before joining our team.
Lelib: ahh I see… woow! This guy is worth a 100 bronze coins which is basically 10.000coins! lets see… his name is Brocko. He doesn’t look that tough to me though.
Jack: Brocko is no joke, he has over 60 bounty hunter kills under his belt. He’s a pretty merciless killer.
Jason starts walking towards Lelib and Jack.
Jason: did I hear the infamous name Brocko pop up. So have you guys found anything yet.
Jack: negative.
Lelib: yeah we’re still looking.
Artemis: here you go I got a mission for you.
Lelib: what is this?
Artemis shows Lelib the map and explains to him that there are no good missions in this bounty house. And that they should focus on their journey towards Astone because it’s going to be a long one. She says that there will be a lot more bounty houses in the future and they got plenty of food to survive for another 4 days.
Artemis: we are right here. And we used to be closer to the red border which is the meature zone.
Lelib: wait a minute so you want to say all that we have done, yet we’ve moved not even a milimeter on the map!? We are sill in the Solk empire!? We will never reach Astone at this range we need to speed things up! Guys change of plans, we need to tame a fast and moblie meature!
END.
