The Rise Of Legend [LIGHTNING]
Chapter 22 Member Party 3

During the time of knowing Ellena as her master and sister, Nora almost never saw her angry to let out a high note. Cursing or sarcastic someone else? Sure do. But it was common because Nora believed it was indeed the characteristic of Ellena and also the attractive side of the girl with the male appearance.

So when she saw how Ellena was standing while letting out a roar that broke the atmosphere of the sunrise, plus the impolite call, Nora almost fell backwards. But after that, the boy stared in amazement at Andesz for pushing his master's patience to this point.

Only once was Ellena made that irritated!

This is still an early meeting.

“Bigger! This time I will absolutely—!!” and again the first to react was Luxia who intended to pull her bow and arrow. And again thanks to Kirein and Max, stopping their friend's action.

Ellena felt her head hot and irritated entrenched in her chest. Only this time he was made angry not the other way around. Really am!

“I can talk now? Or is there still something to say rather than interrupt me? If anyone just say it now!” Todong Ellena with a really upset look to the Andesz.

This time Andesz shook his head. The man's face looked dumbfounded like it was the first time in such a spray, besides that the annoyed face of the teenager in front of him also slightly horrified him.

Ellena had muttered ‘sucks’ softly then took a breath first to cool the emotions that had peaked, “You are sure of the payment of 200 gold coins?” ask Ellena at the end. In his heart, the girl cursed because it was interrupted continuously when he just wanted to say it. Damn indeed.

Perhaps because there was still a surprise effect just now, the Andesz response was a stiff nod.

But then Andesz said again when he saw Ellena speechless while looking at him, “Too expensive? Your sister said you've been stuck in Rank C for a long time so I understand you don't have a lot of money. “ Ellena again glared at Nora who immediately threw a scared face away from her. Really a leaky bucket!

“150 gold coin and one request.” Black-haired head Ellena—El spun quickly back on Andesz who asked, “Still too expensive?”

To be honest Ellena even wanted to ask if the nominal was not too low? Rank B adventurer pay per person minimum 100 gold coins, excluding his bonus. The pay for a Party containing Rank B and above could reach 800-1000 gold coins. Even the mission fee for a Rank S Adventurer was at least 1500 gold coins.

Ellena wanted to agree to the offer of 200 Gold coins because Em was being kind to give her 1000 gold coins. Even Ellena thought the Andesz would ask for at least 500 gold coins.

But if it is cheap like this…

“Agree! 150 gold coins and one request.” Ellena welcomed Andesz's hand, accepting with pleasure the deal seen from anywhere in her favor.

Andesz, who was clearly at a loss, wore a satisfied smile. It was very different from the circumstances of his three friends. When Max and Kirein were holding Luxia back, she turned around. Ellena could hardly help but laugh when she saw Max painstakingly holding back Kirein who seemed to be strangling Andesz and Luxia who were back glaring at him.

“So...Mount Talos?” asked Ellena to open her voice.

After breakfast which fortunately did not end any casualties (Ellena or Andesz), Andesz said to leave immediately. Seeing this the first time Ellena traveled without her aunt, Ellena gave the decision to Andesz (That know-how in the daulat as the leader of the Party, yahh not Ellena refused too anyway).

“You've been there, El?” the person asked shook spontaneously. Ellena likes to roam the Outer forest but Delos is not her territory. This was really Ellena's first trip and she was grateful that someone else was guiding her. Beside Ellena, Nora also shook her head to Kirein despite not being asked.

The tallest young man in the group chuckled slightly seeing how compact Ellena-El and Nora were. Plus their pair of plain green eyes. He really is still a kid apparently.

“What I know is that the mountain is always covered in cloudy clouds all year round. Have you been there, Kirein?”

Kirein scratched the back of his head while smiling clumsy which means never, “As you say, Mount Talos is cloudy all year round until the temperature there is wet and cold. Rarely anyone is desperate to climb to the top and most adventurers only go to the foot of the mountain.” It was clear that Kirein was carefully heard by the two youngest people in the group.

From there Nora drew a simple conclusion. “ That means we are conspiring death to Mount Talos?” plain when Nora asked that.

Four adults spontaneously coughed at Nora's perfectly innocent question. Moreover Ellena-El also nodded as if she concluded something similar.

Anxious Luxia mixed up and said, “You're the one who died! That's not what I meant! Because of the cold temperatures there, around Mount Talos in the lives of many High monsters and some Rare Monsters valuable.”

Ellena nodded in understanding despite her lips slightly sneering at Luxia which explained the unpleasant tone of hearing. The male-looking girl had already decided that she would treat her party members well, at least until her mission was over. As much as possible Ellena held back not sneering back Luxia.

“If there is none, the wild animals there I think are enough as a condition of your Exam.” Add the Max that if Ellena count just twice sound.

Then decided their destination to Mount Talos. The two-day trip is on foot because Ellena asks to pass on the fastest route, which seems to be a path in the middle of a dense forest with a canopy of trees that are tight and also quite dangerous because there are many wild animals there.

“Faster I complete this troublesome mission, faster I return to Delos and you guys can also be free.” Ellena said when asked she looked so intent on going through a more difficult path.

“You look busy.”

“Indeed.”

Kirein already said the journey to Mount Talos through the shortcut would not be smooth, therefore Ellena did not hesitate to wear her full-set armor. He ignored the questioning gazes and wanted to know his party members.

This time Ellena made sure Nora kept her mouth shut tightly when she found Kirein docked at Nora who was also wearing armor like hers. Ellena would actually punish Nora if she leaked any further information to Kirein or the others.

Walking for two hours the group finally found the first pebble stone of this trip. The blue wolf pack is 13. Too small to be called a pack so it can be assumed they are herd hunting units while females and wolf cubs are in their nests.

Ellena prepared to take out her daggers as Andesz called her name, “El, staying close to your sister. Let us take care of this.” Without even looking at Ellena for a moment, the four people moved harmoniously against the wolf pack.

“Max, hit them back!” “Luxia snuff out the wolves I didn't reach!” “Kirein! As usual.” Calls for Andesz's call were heard. The man in his early twenties swiftly unsheathed the sword towards the ferocious beast and was about to attack alongside Kirein, if only his steps were not preceded by another figure.

El—Ellena, ignoring Andesz's instructions to keep Nora quiet, ran over to the nearest wolf then at incredible speed kicked hard on her head and severed the head of the beast.

“One.” Then he switched to another target.

For a moment the adults did not move from the dead. They stared in amazement as well as horror of fight—ah! not wrong, precisely the slaughter of a one and a half meter tall wolf pack by a thirteen year old boy. With daggers in both hands, El slices and cuts the flesh of the poor animal with accuracy that is able to make the butcher envious.

9, 10, 11, 12.and lastly SHUT—the last wolf fell with an arrow pierced through his neck, just before that one pounced on El from behind.

“Thank you..although I can handle it myself.” Tuke El lightly to Luxia who shot an arrow.

“Basic boy cocky.” Fortunately Luxia only replied so and turned to check around, keeping watch if there were any remaining herds of wolves.

Ellena did a quick air splitting motion to remove the fresh blood from her dagger then draped the two weapons on the sheath she tied to her pelvis. The girl with a male appearance then approached Andesz who had realized from his shock with Kirein who finished gaping.

“I'll say it now so this doesn't happen again, “ a pair of emerald it stares directly at the dark bead of Andesz, “I'm not weak—at least at the level of a savage beast I can finish it myself. I haven't tried on any monsters but don't protect me if I haven't been battered,” Ellena tightened her jaw when she recalled Andesz who ordered to stay with the weak Nora, “This mission is my chance to be stronger so don't get in my way, Andesz.” Ellena-El accidentally bumped into the small shoulder of the Andesz and passed close to Nora.

Leaving the glued Andesz in a moment, “Did I look like I was blocking him, Ki? I swear I didn't mean it.” His complaint scratched his head clumsily. A little embarrassed and a little annoyed at the boy's omeli when the point is good.

Kirein shrugged small shoulders despite both corners of his lips raised, “How to think a small child is sometimes difficult to guess.”

Kirein's blue eyes then turned to look at Ellena whose resigned face was cleansed of blood brutally by Nora.

“But little El is indeed rather interesting.”
