The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 35: Let's Not Mess With Miss Serah

The raid began; we cleared floor 1, 2, 3....and we just cleared floor 29.

When we entered the 1st floor, Elena gave me 35 healing potions and told me to be careful while Lily kept telling me to hold back.

When the raid started, there were 492 players, and now there are only 40 left. I don't think that the battle was hard; I mean, Elena didn't let me fight.

I can't see the other player's score, but I can see my party member's score. My score is zero; yes, I was the last. Miss Serah's score is also zero. There are seven members in our party, Elena, me, Ricky, Rikka, Miss Serah and those two girls.

I am in the last place, Miss Serah is 6th, Ricky is 5th, Rikka is 4th, Robna...or is she Biana? Whatever one of the two girls is 3rd, Elena is 2nd, and the other girl is 1st.

Those two girls are so strong! Why did they join our party? Why did Elena ask Miss Serah to join our party? There are many questions in my mind, but I want to know why all the players are agitated to move forward.

We entered the 30th floor, which means it is one of the boss's beds, but I don't see the monster anywhere in the room, so why are all these players, including my party members, so cautious?

There are three caves in the room, is the monster inside? Do we have to go inside? As I was thinking about that, a pair of red eyes glowed from the cave. I looked at the other two shelters, which had the same scenario. I can't see the monster, but I can say that they are coming at full speed.

"Be careful, Adas, this monster is very annoying!" Elena said.

The monster has a lion's body and a scorpion's tail.

"A manticore?" two; it's

I have read about them in books. They are considered mythical creatures. They are speedy, and their claws can break the mountains in one hit. There are 3 of them now?!

No wonder everyone was acting like that. There are only 40 players, and even if someone tries to attack one of the centers, the other two will surely kill the player. If any player goes to kill them by themselves, they will surely die, it's suicide. Only a fool will try to approach--

What the hell is she doing?

Miss Serah walked to the center of the room. One of the manticores dashed at her at full speed. The manticore is about 5 meters away from her, but she is still standing stolidly, without having even her sword in her hand. Her sword is still in the sheath at her waist.

When the manticore was about one meter away from her, she took out her sword from the sheath with her two fingers and swung it vertically upwards by using her thumb and put the sword back in the sheath. This all happened in two seconds, and the manticore was cleaved in half.

The other two manticores were just behind the first one, and when they saw Miss Serah, they changed their way and dashed at us or rather...me. Miss Serah swayed backward and cleaved the manticore with the horizontal swing while the third manticore tried to attack her from behind. Without looking back, she killed the last one by stabbing it in the neck.

How is she so calm after all that? She is not fazed at all. Her sword is so thin that it can't be seen if it was held vertically. That day I decided, 'Let's not mess with Miss Serah.'

"Are you okay, Das Ryle?" she asked.

"Yes, thanks, Miss Serah."

"Call me, Xerah."

"Huh?"

"My name is Xerah in the game."

Who cares about that? But let's not mess with...

"Okay."

"She's the 6th top player of this game," Ricky said.

"You mean she is on the 6th place in the list of the strongest players in this game?"

"Yeah."

Now I understand why Elena was acting like that, I checked the scores and Miss Serah is now on the first place meanwhile I am still on the last.

[Floor 30 is cleared, Please Proceed Through The Door To Enter Floor 31]

[Proceed Through The Portal If Any Player Wants To Retreat]

"Alright."

"Wait, where are you going Adas?" Elena asked.

"Portal."

"Why?"

"You don't let me fight."

"You will get hurt if you fight."

"I am not doing anything anyway, so it's better if I retreat."

"I want to reach floor 34 this time, and if you are with me, I will be fine."

'I will be fine as long as you are with me' she had said this many times.

I will grant your every wish.
