Chapter 158 158: The Grand Escape? [Pt1]



"There are so many monsters coming after us. Where are all these monsters coming from?"

Adam had snapped the neck of a lot of monsters with her bare hands. She had no other choice since magic did not work on these monsters mixed with holy beasts.

It was a pain in the neck, but it came down to how much endurance she had to die with these monsters. Why was there no end to the monsters?

"There must be a base nearby where these things are spawning. Their reproduction rate is not this high normally. Should we try to find where their concentration point is?"

Eve asked as he clawed through the chest of another monster nearby. At this rate, the forest floor would become full of the bodies of these unfortunate monsters.

She was concerned about the safety of all the villagers nearby the forest. There were too many settlements that were in the hazard zone just outside of the forest.

"Adam, take care of the monsters fleeing away. Hey, Adam? Where are you going?"

Eve called the crown prince who had his attention turned toward the side. His eyes were wide and he suddenly broke off into a run.

Adam was all but a blur of white at the moment, his hair making it difficult for anyone to pinpoint where exactly he was. Eve was confused by his abrupt dispatch but she quickly realized that it was only Elysia that could make Adam behave this way.

\'Fuck it. Lord Dirac and the other royal knights can take care of the villagers. I need to follow after Adam and find Elysia right now. She must have landed herself in trouble.\'

For what it was worth, Eve did weigh the lives of everyone that would be in danger against Elysia but she could still not convenience herself to leave Elysia be.

\'I guess I must not be as good as a person I believe myself to be. I cannot even let my one special person die for the sake of many others.\'

Having made her decision, Eve decided to follow Adam. She only took care of the few monsters that were in her way and no other ones. She was going to prioritize speed over efficiency.

When she finally caught up to Adam, he was looking at a small house standing in the middle of the forest. It was the only man-made structure in the vicinity and it was odd to see something like that in the middle of the forest.

"Something is wrong with that house. I cannot sense anything inside that place but there is a sweet smell that is irritating my senses and making me want to rampage. This is also the place where Elysia\'s smell disappeared."

Eve looked at the house as well, and even she had a feeling that Elysia was in there. It was this feeling that convinced Eve that it was the right decision to follow after Adam.

Rahan made his words sound sad but he was anything but sad inside. Elysia felt weirded out by the attention of this man.

There was something evil about Rahan that made Elysia stand on the edge. She took a step back as Rahan took on ahead.

"Why are you stepping back from me? I am not that scary, am I?"

Rahan asked but Elysia\'s attention was on her surroundings. The sweet smell she had smelled before was back and it was making Elysia\'s head spin.

She had not realized it before but there was something wrong with that incense smell in the air. It was some kind of stimulating agent that made a person lose their mind.

There might be more to this incense than met the eye but Elysia was in no position to make any claims about it.

"Don\'t think you can run away from me. This door cannot open from the inside unless I will it."

The door was closed behind Elysia\'s back and she tried to open it discreetly. But the door must have been locked with some kind of magic because it did not even bulge under Elysia\'s hand.

She quickly picked up the vase that was lying innocently at the table at the entry and threw it at Rahan. His wide eyes said that he had not expected this sneak attack and he raised his hand to protect his eyes.

Elysia knew that it was her time to shine. She quickly closed the distance between herself and Rahan, punching him in the stomach.

"Fuck you. Just because I cannot touch you–"

Rahan snapped and it made Elysia curious about why that was. No one she knew would do something like this. (At last, she did not think so.)

So just who was the one that asked Rahan not to touch Elysia?

"ELYSIA, ARE YOU IN THERE?"

Adam\'s voice rang through the forest and reached Elysia as well. She could not feel Adam but now she knew that he was on the other side of the door.

Rahan\'s confidence seemed shattered as soon as he realized that someone was outside the door. Just because the door could not be opened from the inside did not mean that it could not be opened from the outside.

"Adam, open the door right now. I cannot open it from the inside."

Elysia replied, keeping her eyes on the man on the floor. Rahan was still a danger to her until he was detained.

For a minute Elysia was sure that Adam had not heard her at all. There was no moment from outside the door and no noise as well.

Elysia was about to speak up again when the door was kicked down and her partners stood in front of her on the other side of the door.

"Don\'t come in. The door will close behind you-"

Elysia did not finish before both Adam and Eve stepped inside the house as well. The door closed behind them with a snap and now they were all trapped inside.

Rahan snickered as soon as he realized that he did not have to do anything to achieve his goal. This was a prime opportunity for him to get the Crown Prince and the Saintess under control.

"It\'s excellent. I could be forbidden to touch Elysia Dirac but the boss never said anything about the Crown Prince and the Saintess. I wonder how long you both will be able to last."

Rahan\'s voice had taken a more sinister tone. Elysia was sure that his eyes did not have that half-crazed look to them a few minutes ago.

"Ugh, another crazy one. How do you keep on finding these people, Elysia?"

Eve sounded tired instead of worried. She seemed used to this by now and she even cracked her knuckles to work the kinks out of them. The motion caused her muscular arms to flex and show mass that no Saintess should have.

Elysia tried hard not to swoon at Eve\'s show but it was hard. She was so in love so it was a wonder how she had not realized this before.

"Anyway, we don\'t need to detain you, just wait long enough for Lord Dirac to find us. Once he realized that all of us have gone missing, it would be only about time before he arrives for us."

Eve sounded confident with her plan but Adam had other plans for their party. He opened his claws and attacked Rahan before he could make any attack.

His claws missed the mark by a few inches but he was not disheartened. It was a clash where one continued to evade and the other continued to attack.

"Let\'s help Adam out. There is not a lot of space in here and Adam may end up hurting himself."

Elysia threw her dagger where Rahan was supposed to be but he was able to evade it as well.

He was one slippery bastard who was managing to give Elysia the slip. But he was beginning to realize that he had a problem now and that he could not possibly win in close-quarters combat.

"Shit looks like I will have to pull my trump card out now. I wanted to stay here and chat with you more, Lady Elysia but I need to preserve my life more."

Elysia realized what Rahan wanted to do just as he reached the door. He opened it and slapped it back shut on Adam\'s face, successfully managing to make his escape.

It left the trio trapped inside the house without a way to follow out.

"Elysia, give me space. I will knock this door down even if it takes all my strength to do so."

Eve sounded determined as she stared the door down. Elysia was almost afraid to be standing in her way so she stepped down.

But even Elysia doubted that Eve would be able to knock the door down with her strength. The magic cast on the door was too strong to the point where Adam had been unable to affect it.

Eve\'s fist made contact with the door as it rattled.
