BXBX NOVEL Chapter 260 Back To The Village
"Oh, I see-"
"And me and Planta only meet some days ago but we already have a long history together. She saved my Kingdom from the corrupted forms of my former friends, which… was very sad. She\'s a brave and heroic woman that fears no evil. She recently evolved into a Hamadryad and is enhancing the forest\'s life and richness with her very existence…"
"Ah, so it is like that-"
"And as I said Planta and I are very connected with one another. I owe her so much I would do anything for her. I am now traveling with her to-"
"Okay! Okay! That\'s enough introductions, Titania!" I cried.
Lily was getting so confused her eyes were spiraling around comically.
"S-So what happened?" She wondered.
"Ah, well, she\'s a friend we made recently… A-Anyways… Achlys?" I asked as Rita was looking at Lily while crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes.
She was giving off a very intimidating presence, a black aura surged from her body, her eyes were even shining red!
"H-Hello?" Asked Lily.
"Let me tell you that I am Planta\'s bestie." Said Achlys.
"E-Eh? I see…" Lily said.
"I am not going to lose…" Achlys said.
"L-Lose what?" Asked Lily.
Rita was staring at Lily as if she were new competition or something, but I quickly calmed her down.
"Sorry, she\'s like that… Oi stop being so stupid!" I smacked her head, as she suddenly looked at me with puppy eyes.
"Are you planning to replace me with this cute friend now? I\'m sorry for being such a pervert sometimes! I was born like that! Uwaaaahh!" Rita suddenly grabbed me with her arms and began to cry…
"Sigh…"
At the end, I managed to calm her down and tell her I wasn\'t planning to replace her as my IRL best friend. She calmed down eventually but still remained slightly wary of Lily, I never thought she could get jealous of Lily when she\'s such a love.
"And these are our pets and summons!" I said, showing Lily the last members, a bunch of creatures. All my Summons and Pets evolved recently so they looked slightly… intimidating.
"Uwaah, they\'re so big and terrifying!" She said.
"Ahahah… I guess." I sighed. "I swear they were cute before! Well, they still are!"
"Yours are but Achly\'s summons are looking at me weirdly…" Lily said, as Rita\'s Arachne and Nightmare were glaring down at Lily evilly. They were a giant black horse of nightmares and the other an enormous and terrifying black spider, of course they were scary. Maybe they share a bit of their master\'s emotions.
"Anyways! Now that we are all together we should probably go back to the village before doing anything else." I said. "We cannot just stay here while Lily\'s still kind of low level…"
"I am Level 17, is that low?" Lily wondered.
"Certainly not but- Wait what?! 17?!" I asked in surprise.
"Y-Yeah…" Lily said. "It\'s low right?"
"Not as much, I guess. But still, if monsters here are level thirty and beyond, you can\'t level up from their EXP…" Titan said.
"Hm, I got this one Potion as a leftover from the rewards of the quest…" Nieve said, taking out a 50k EXP Potion. "Is this useful? I was saving it for emergencies. Even if I consumed it I wouldn\'t had leveled up back then so I ended saving it."
"Woah, that would certainly be useful!" I said. "I can buy it from you, Nieve… How about… 500k Gold?"
"500k?!" Nieve asked in surprise. "I-I don\'t think you should give me money, it is an act of kindness between friends, she can have it for free!" Said Nieve gently, as she handed the potion to Lily.
"Wow, thanks a lot…" Lily sighed. "Ugh, I didn\'t knew this game would make you so hungry though…"
"Ah, how low is your satiation?!" I wondered.
"24…." Sighed Lily.
"We need to make her some food asap." Said Titan.
"Yep."
Like that, Lily used her [Return Home] Racial Ability within her Racial Skill to return to the center of the Brownie and Gnome Village instantly with all of us included, this Village was named Earthen by the way.
The chief, the grumpy old gnome was surprised when we suddenly teleported into his village out of nowhere, with the guard he sent with us included.
FLAAASH!
"EHEEEE?!"
The old chief ended falling into the ground in shock as he saw us materialize out of thin air. I felt slightly bad that we surprised him this much though.
"We are back!" I said.
"Eh? You are back?!" He asked. "How did you teleported to the village?"
"I used the ability I have?" Wondered Lily.
"Players seem to be able to teleport to a designated "home" area." Said Titania.
"Yeah, I can teleport back to the Ents Forest." Said Titan.
"And I near the Tree of Beginnings." I said.
"And I… I think near some where in the forest… I dunno." Achlys said.
"Well… It seems you brought back your friend, that\'s good- Wait a second, you could had teleported back all this time and you didn\'t?" The old gnome asked.
"If I did, the monsters would had gone through the wall there with ease. The man controlling them seemed confident they could had been able to easily break it. They were Level 32 Drakon Monsters…" Said Lily.
"Ah…" The gnome chief felt slightly taken aback. "S-So you used your reviving ability to… protect us all this time while we were leisurely recovering from what happened as if we were completely free from those monsters?"
"Yep, she did." I said.
"…"
The chief slowly fell to his knees, lowering his head to Lily.
"Thank you very much for saving the village from destruction!" He said, thanking Lily for her help.
Lily felt slightly embarrassed.
"O-Oh, it is nothing… I did my best to protect the place of the people that welcomed me so nicely. I would do it again." Said Lily
