Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter III Chapter 79

One house leads into a narrow alley and that's where the little shop is. The owner is just an old deemon but somehow Alice, Echidna and Fee are surrounded by a group of deemons who intend to kill them.

Alice felt a heavy and weak breath from behind the cashier table. He knew that it was the owner of the shop that had served him.

Alice glanced around him. He breathed as if feeling guilty. If he doesn't serve them, he'll be the one who gets hurt. But the weight of his heart if to damage the property of the store owner. Other than those two things, Alice did not want to show her strength.

"Feed... Can you do something to them?" Alice asked with Fee.

"What do you want me to do?"

"I don't want to do a fight in this little tavern. I want you to keep them quiet."

Fee bent both his eyebrows and thought for a moment. "Hm...If it's like that, I think I have a way."

"good. Please Fee."

Without anyone noticing his movements, Fee got down from the chair and disappeared in the shadows. No one knows what he will do. Alice herself could not see his presence even though she sensed that Fee's life energy was still nearby.

[Shadow Trap - Shadow Bind ]

The black shadows of the deemons and the two animal races slowly moved up, creeping from their feet up like a tree root and tightly wrapped around them, unable to move.

"A! What's this?!" The servant-dressed Deemon realized that they were entangled by something. He went on a rampage by moving his legs but he could not release the black shadow wrapped around him. The other deemons did the same, but unfortunately, they could not escape the black shadow either.

Fee reappeared from under the table and climbed back up to his seat as if nothing had happened. "I've done my job. The rest depends on you." He said pointing at the face of a haughty smile.

Alice glanced at Fee and thanked him. "In this way, it will be easy to overcome them." Then Alice moved fast enough and began to paralyze them one by one by pressing the nerve points that were behind their necks.

Seeing that happen quickly. The gray-haired woman clapped her hands festively. His face gave a bright smile and then he shook Alice's hand again and swung. "Great! It's great! Miss Alicia is just like Ophelia said."

Alice smiled awkwardly. Her active attitude reminds her of someone named Amy but there is something a little different about the woman before her. "He is not much different from Echidna either." Benak Alice's.

The woman suddenly looked at the door. "Hmm~ What a pity. Looks like I have to go. I look forward to our next meeting~ See you Miss Alicia~" She then left like a cold wind that blows fast.

Alice massaged her temple, she glanced at Echidna."If I can I don't want to see him too often." Her voice is tired. Echidna put on a questioning expression at the sight of her mother whom she had just seen. He had no idea that Alice had just compared the two of them.

I don't know what Ophelia told him to make the woman's expectations soar to the sky against him.

Next day. Alice again trained Echidna in the dungeon.

"Your hands are too stiff and watch your steps!" Alice's instructions from the rock where she sits while watching Echidna fight against some small monsters. "Your steps are too wide. Too many gaps. Your breath and attacks are out of tune. Have you forgotten what I taught you all along?" Shouts again.

Although her mother, Alice, is a loving and gentle figure to her. But his attitude changed as he trained himself with something he called martial arts. Not under cold snow or heavy rain. Alice did not show any sense of kasian at all to Echidna. Alice was strict and strict with her little daughter.

"If I had known, I probably wouldn't have asked you to train me. Uuhh~" Whine regrets.

As the two were practicing seriously, Alice suddenly felt the presence of someone quite far away from her. He glanced at the man. All this time, he had never relaxed his guard especially when he was still on the Arkham continent. Alice only opened up her vain attitude as she was with the people she considered.

Alice put her eyes on Echidna but on the other hand, she placed her observations on the person watching her from afar.

Alice kept waiting, maybe she was the same hunter as him. Half an hour, an hour, even when they moved, the person kept following him. Alice became convinced that the person was really just following her and watching her movements.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Sir. I'm sure that kid is the figure we've been looking for all this time."

"......What's your next plan? Can you take it out of that woman's hand?"

The figure of the man who was behind the shadow was discussing with someone using which crystal stone served as a transmission.

"I didn't feel any magic energy and which one was big from that woman. But, my instinct is to say that he's dangerous." He continued to look at Alice and her daughter.

"Have you investigated it?"

"Yes, Sir. He was a famous hunter by the nickname of the Ice Queen in the city of Ilium. It hadn't been a year yet but he had already reached the gold-level hunter. In fact many of his achievements were comparable to the platinum-level hunting group."

"Go back. I'll give you the next order once we figure out how strong that woman is."

"Good, Sir." The hunter closed his conversation by nodding.

"After a long time, finally...Our race will again show its glory once again to the world." He muttered while tightly grasping the crystal stone in his hand. The figure of the man slowly moved backwards, but as he stepped once back, suddenly the coldness made the feathers sitting on his back stand up instantly. His eyes widened and soon he turned his body.

"When was he behind me?" His mind began to tremble. He did not feel the presence of the woman. A few moments ago, he saw the presence of the woman sitting on a rock.

The man astonishedly looked back at Alice's previous seat, unfortunately there was no one there, other than the boy and the pile of monster corpses. He really didn't see her move.

The man swallowed his saliva. His body just stiffened. Fear enveloped him. "Why? Why are my legs numb?! Move around! I am the strongest race! There's no way I'm afraid of this weak female deemon!" His mind continued to babble indistinctly to dispel his fear.

Alice just remained silent and stood looking at him with a cold gaze like a dagger that had just been plucked from a chunk of ice. "Which fool is after his daughter?"

"Say! I don't want to make small talk. I'll forgive you if you say everything." The flat but cold voice was like the sound of a sword being pulled out of its sheath.

The man knew he could not run anymore. The abyss of hell was already before his eyes.
