New World
Cleo's carelessness

The Winged Lion could easily trace the smell left behind by Alan and Flyin. Soon Cleo who was riding the Winged Lion was able to catch up with Alan and Flyin who were still walking down the connecting road between the two kingdoms.

The figure of two black-robed people began to see him from a distance. But Cleo was a little confused, looking at the two black-robed figures complete with their head coverings. The absence of any luggage from the two figures certainly made Cleo ask questions in her heart. But at least.. The two figures were supposed to be carrying several bags containing Mana Stones, given the amount of Mana Stones they had snatched would not fit to be stored inside the system storage bag.

Cleo did not think long, she immediately spurred the Winged Lion to fly past Alan and Flyin. Stopping the footsteps of the two figures who he believed were the Polar Guild's Mana Stone usurpers.

"Stop you guys!" Cleo and the Winged Lion landed right in front of Alan and Flyin. His loud voice indicates he is not in a condition that is playing.

"What's wrong?" Alan was not surprised at the appearance of the Winged Lion and Cleo arriving. He had known earlier that Cleo and the Winged Lion were following him from behind. He just wanted to know what Cleo meant and purpose to follow her.

"Sir..." Flyin was already preparing to attack Cleo, he could read Cleo's mind if the figure of the woman riding the flying lion was malicious to Alan.

"Wait for Flyin..." Alan held onto Flyin's shoulder, preventing Flyin from directly attacking the female player before him. Alan certainly did not want to be rash, he should be able to get information from the female Ranger player before him.

"Give back the Mana Stone you snatched!" Cleo who was impatient. He was still trying to remain patient, although the two black-robed figures before him looked as if they were ignoring him.

"Where's Stone?"

"I'm sorry but we didn't take it..." Alan answered casually. He did not feel that he was robbing Mana Stone, he was just taking the Mana Stone that was splattered on the road.

"Don't lie to me!" Cleo pulled the crossbow from her back. Prepare to shoot an arrow at Alan.

"Hem... A good weapon..." Alan muttered after seeing the crossbow that Cleo was wearing. He did not expect that for more than a year he was in the Abyss World, the development of weapons in New World had grown rapidly.

Five arrows shot towards Alan quickly in one crossbow shot belonging to Cleo. However the five arrows Cleo released never reached Alan's body. The five arrows stopped and floated a meter before Alan.

"Shield guard? No. gabe... It's not a shield." Cleo spurred her Winged Lion to retreat a few steps back. He needed to keep his distance from Alan after seeing his five arrows stopping in midair.

"Why are women always quick to conclude things with a single look?" Alan laughed softly, looking at Cleo's astonished face as her five arrows stopped and floated in the air.

"Willi..." Cleo stomped her feet towards the Winged Lion's body, signaling the partner to launch a combination attack.

"Uarghs..." The Winged Lion's roar was so loud it sounded. Make a shock wave of sound that scares the ear. Winged Lion immediately flew towards Alan, preparing to pounce on Alan who was his target.

"Ah... You guys made a fatal mistake..." Alan only sighed softly while covering his ears. He had refrained from moving too much. Preventing Chiro from waking up from sleeping soundly on her shoulders.

Chiro who had fallen asleep soundly opened his eyes because of the roar of the Winged Lion. From Chiro's facial expression, Alan could tell that Chiro was very unhappy that her sleep time had been disturbed. Chiro looked around, figuring out what had actually disrupted her sleep time.

"It wasn't me..." Alan knows that Chiro accused Alan of doing so. Alan immediately signs Chiro with his head, telling Chiro who the real culprit is.

Chiro also stared intently at the Winged Lion that was flying towards him. Dislike was clearly emanated from within Chiro's eyes.

Wuing...

It was like his brain was being stung by such powerful electricity. The Winged Lion instantly stopped its flight and directly landed on the ground. His four legs trembled violently, after he saw the sharp eyes of Chiro.

"What's Willi?" Cleo almost bounced forward, as the Winged Lion stopped its flight by arriving. If only he had not clung tightly to the saddle on the Winged Lion's back, he would have already toppled forward.

"Good... Kaik... Gina..." The Eram Winged Lion. He turned his eyes away so as not to see the eyes of Chiro.

"What's Willi?" Cleo was getting confused. See Willi's changed attitude 180°. Just this time he saw Willi acting so cowardly in front of the enemy. Though... In the presence of a God-class monster, Willi never once trembled.

"It looks like your partner is pretty smart." Alan chuckled softly from behind his black hood. Seeing the Winged Lion's attitude that was so frightened after getting a sharp glare from Chiro.

"What did you do to Willi?" Cleo grew furious with Alan. He really has been made emotional by the work of Alan.

"I? Your pet is a coward." Alan increasingly wanted to laugh, seeing Cleo's attitude that blamed him for the Winged Lion's change in attitude.

"You..." Cleo bit her own teeth. "Come Willi..." Cleo stomped her feet once more. Invite Willi to continue the pending fight.

But the Winged Lion was like losing its fighting spirit. He is self-conscious if he will not be able to win against the monster on Alan's shoulders. Although the monster was only the size of an owl, it had a class far above the Winged Lion. A Dragon class, a class that is said to be the strongest of all monster classes.

"You..." Cleo had no other choice. His Winged Lion could have lost his fighting spirit. But he is also a fighter. Cleo could still fight even without the help of the Winged Lion.

"Feel this!" Cleo leaped off the top of the Winged Lion's back. His crossbow continued to issue arrows that headed towards Alan. But as already. Each of his arrows only stopped a meter around Alan's body. None of his arrows wanted to advance any closer.

"What exactly is that?" Cleo was still in disbelief, her every attack was always halted around Alan's body. He had thought that the black-robed figure was using a skill to deflect his crossbow attack. But the skill certainly has a cooldown, and this... There is no cooldown at all.

"I still can't believe you can stop this!"

"Fatality Strike!"

Cleo let out her strongest attack. The arrows that had numbered five were now only one, but one arrow was enveloped in a thick green aura.

"Hem. good..." Alan smiled slightly, looking at the arrow covered in green aura that was pointing at him. Alan made no attempt to fend off or evade. Her Shadow Zone was far more than enough to just hold Cleo's Fatality Strike.

"It... This... Impossible..." Cleo's lower jaw almost fell to the floor. Seeing Fatality Strike who was his strongest attack came to a stop in front of Alan. Never once had he seen a player who could stop Fatality Strike without doing anything.

"No... It must be an illusion..." Cleo was still trying to convince herself. If the black-robed figure before him possessed an ability to create illusions.

"You think this is an illusion?" Alan gave a small smile hearing what Cleo said.

"You may only be able to realize this is an illusion or not after seeing this..." Alan let out an aura of darkness from within his body. Setting the Shadow Zone so that no gravity would pull on his body, making Alan's body float through the air.

Chiro who had been perched on Alan's shoulder also flew to move to Flyin's shoulder. So as to show the figure of the dragon that he hid from earlier.

"That's..." Cleo could not say what. Seeing the figure of a small Dragon who was perched like an owl. He did not expect at all, if Alan's pet was a Dragon. Even though the dragon is still small, it still is... The dragon is a monster that is so feared. No wonder the Winged Lion was so frightened after getting a sharp glare from Alan's pet.

But Cleo's fear of Alan's pet was not comparable to Cleo's fear of being enveloped in a black aura and floating in the air. Although Cleo knew if there were some players who could manage where they could fly, but the figure of Alan in front of her was much different. He knows very well... If the aura of darkness emitted by Alan was not mana, but more like the aura of death that was ready to take his life.

"Wine... I gotta get out of here..." Cleo was self-conscious that she would not be able to win against Alan. Even his Commander was not necessarily able to defeat the black-robed figure before him.

"Willi!"

Cleo immediately jumped on Willi's back, prompting Willi to leave the fight. Willi who had wanted to leave immediately flapped his wings. If not for his loyalty to Cleo, perhaps Willi had left Cleo earlier.

"Want to run?" Alan gave a small smile seeing the Winged Lion that the Ranger was riding flying away.

"Just be free..."

Alan disappeared from existence, and suddenly appeared before Cleo. Alan's dagger was ready to slash Cleo's neck.

"Ka..." Cleo could not finish the word she said. Alan's dagger had already slashed his neck. Separating the head from its body.

"Uarghs..." The Winged Lion roared, knowing his master had been killed. Yet the roar of Winged Lion's grief did not last long. Alan stuck his dagger into the Winged Lion's head. The Winged Lion had to fall from its flight.

Bruck...

Bruck...

The bodies of Cleo and the Winged Lion fell hard on the ground. Making the blood coming out of their bodies splatter on the ground.

"You're overreacting, sir..." Flyin judged what Alan was doing too much. Alan should be able to defeat the woman without having to use Shadow Zone.

"I know Flyin... But there's another meaning to what I'm doing."

"I understand Mr..." Flyin who can read Alan's mind certainly understands what Alan meant.

"Yes... We'll just wait for the woman to report to her boss." Alan cleansed The Forgotten Dagger from the blood of Cleo and the Winged Lion. Keep it back on the dagger sheath beside his left thigh.

"You are brilliant sir..." Flyin praised the move Alan took. In this way there will be no party who dares to harass Alan and Flyin during the trip.
