Chapter 328: Who's the Manager
The Golden Forest. Ruka, who had defeated Gigantua, was slowly approaching Gigantua.
The red orb was blinking, like a signal indicating that I was dying or that my battery was dead.
Ruka was slowly approaching, her face brimming with joy.
"Ah, how wonderful! This is a powerful enemy, defeated by Lord Ruka. How easy it was!
Why are you so weak? I thought I wasn't that strong. So weak, so weak. You've disappointed Lord Ruka!
So weak, so weak. Now, maidservant, come clean up the mess!
I'll use this as food for my soon-to-be-born partner," Ruka said, glaring at the round orb.
Gigantua's orbs were blinking, trying to get away from this place, to get away from Ruka.
Ruka approached, trying to play with the object in front of her.
Ruka raised her left hand to block the attack. Phew! Boom!
The attack was coming from the rock that was Gigantua's original form.
The incoming form was powerful, like spikes shooting out from its abdomen.
Ruka nodded in satisfaction, looking at the lightning that had formed as a protective shield.
Sharp spikes pierced through the lightning. Boom!
Just a little more than a slash to Ruka's face. But because Ruka blocked it in time, there was no wound that would have been in her face.
"What? Still have strength? Something like distance control? Interesting, interesting!
So, that side's attack splits apart and changes form at will.
Amazing! This ability is perfect, but that's all it can do. Now, if it's over, it's time to feed my beloved child."
Ruka squeaked out a round ball, resembling a dinosaur egg, a mixture of red, yellow, and blue. A pattern of one eye was drawn.
Dangerous energy was released, increasing the danger level.
Ruka held it in her right hand and rubbed the egg against her face.
"Oh, oh, are you hungry? Come on, your delicious meal is ready. Try it. I hope it suits you." Ruka opened her left hand and aimed at the orb.
"Come, my partner's food." The lightning energy in front of Ruka transformed into the shape of a human hand.
Five hands spread out and reached out to grab Gigantua's orb. Whoosh! Boom!
Gigantua was captured and flew towards Ruka with a faint lightning hand. Whoosh!
Ruka nodded in satisfaction, touching Gigantua's orb. "Now, eat, my dear child."
The red light from the egg in Ruka's hand began to draw Gigantua's blood, mixing it with its outer shell.
One Direction In another location, the Seraph, who had been flying slowly through the air, quickly abandoned Ruka.
The Seraph could only try to fly away bit by bit. Phew! [I don't want to be near that child anymore.
I have to get away quickly, or else the chaos will definitely escalate.]
Seraph, sensing Ruka's danger, decided to hastily distance himself.
The Seraph didn't fly long, and in the direction he was flying, he happened to run into Ruka's maid, who was also running towards Seraph. Phew!
Seraph stopped at a rapid pace and flew down to the ground.
Seraph's face was calm, staring at Ruka's maidservant, whom she had met before.
[This person, if I remember correctly, had been with the child named Ruka before. He was the one who had followed the child, so she quickly separated.
It's possible he was following me because Ruka had ordered him to come after me.]
Ruka's maidservant looked at Seraph with fear. "How did you find me? I think I saw you escape long ago, huh?"
Ruka's maidservant had a sad expression, a mixture of fear and anger, trying to smile.
She wondered how the boy had gotten in front of her.
Since he had come before me,
The maidservant, who shared the same thought as Seraph, fled from Ruka, trying to avoid her involvement.
Thoughts colliding, Seraph hurriedly thought.
[This boy had a chance to follow me, under orders from the young girl.
Then, to avoid suspicion, why? To escape from those people, you need an excuse to distance yourself without causing conflict.]
Seraph prepared an excuse to distance himself from his savior.
Seraph bowed his head, his body covered in sweat, the effort from which he had no energy left to move.
"Thank you, both of you, for saving my life. So, I have a reason to rush to do something urgently?"
Seraph said, looking at the golden floor beneath his feet, his vigilance rising.
[Let me go. I have no more strength to fight.]
The maid nodded, a friendly smile on her face. "Is that so?" [It doesn't seem to be related to Ruka.]
The maid looked over Seraph's body. There were minor wounds and stains from his hardships.
"What's the emergency?" the maid asked, unsure of what to do next.
Seraph looked up. "I was thinking of joining my teammates.
My teammates Encountering a powerful enemy has forced us to part ways, so I apologize for my haste. Now, let's run away."[This is the plan to escape without leaving any suspicious events. Just this, and our chances of escaping these guys are already high.]
The maid nodded, her expression filled with joy. [Great, this kid's doing well. If I say it like that,
I'll have an excuse to follow that kid to help an injured teammate.
This way, I won't be suspicious of Ruka's whereabouts. I'll follow that kid when I see an opportunity.
When I can get away from that guy, I'll excuse myself.]
The maid planned to follow Seraph to help his friend.
Maid Ruka covered her mouth with her hand, pretending to let it fall.
Pity flashed through her eyes. "How pitiful, how pitiful.
How exhausting it must be for you, who have gone through so much hardship."
Seeing you're trying so hard, I'll volunteer to accompany you.
To help your friend in need, two is better than one.
You can trust me. You must be tired, so I'll help you run.
The maid offered to help, calling herself a "self," as an excuse to tell Ruka that she had followed Seraph to help him.
It's not like you think Ruka is.
Seraph shook his head in denial, shocked that someone he'd just met would volunteer to help.
"It's fine. You two have helped me enough. I don't want to bother you any more." Seraph gently declined, asking for just their kindness.
[Let me go. Getting involved with strangers will only lead to endless strange things.]
The maid shook her head, refusing with determination. Her good intentions were evident in her simple, yet genuine eyes.
"It's fine. I want to help you." So don't be so polite."
[This kid, I offered to help him, but he refused.]
The maid smiled and told her not to be so polite. I want to help as much as I can.
