I was woken by Rhea four hours later for the watch, I washed my face with cold water to wake myself from the half-awake state.
There are still a few hours till dawn, I decided to study the skill to pass the time.
Blazing strikes is really amazing skill, first I thought it would just like throwing concentrated fire arrows through certain method but I was wrong.
This skill much more than that, as I kept studying it, I have come to know the true value of this skill.
If I am able to successfully mastered this skill to the end, my mana manipulation will reach a completely different level.
The swirling fireballs which are still taking me second to contract will be made by with the thought. With absolute mastery over this skill, I will be able to deliver thousands of blazing arrows every moment which will be comparable to High-level Knight level skill.
hours passed by as I got immersed in studying the skill, I didn't even notice when the sky is brightening, I only come out my immersion when I felt movement beside me.
It is Rhea who had woken up, nodding toward me, she left to freshen up. I closed the folder seeing studies enough.
Ashlyn still hasn't woken up, this glutton really ate a lot last night, she asked for the second plate after she finished her first and now she will wake up late because she overate.
I quickly freshen up seeing, there is only an hour before the time of leaving. When I went outside the camp, I found that chubby Andrew is already cooking the food and Rhea is talking to Neil, asking him about monsters they encountered in the valley.
"Good Morning!" said chubby Andrew, I reciprocate his greeting and sit beside him to watch him cook.
Andrew is a really good cook, his food comparable to which I get in my apartment, he had all types of cooking instruments, condiments, and spices for cooking.
When I asked him yesterday how did he learn such good cooking, he said he had taken classes, I got a quite surprised hearing that. Adventurers rarely learned anything other than combat-related classes.
Tasting his cooking, I also decided to take weekly cooking classes after I got out of this realm. Soon Andrew finished cooking and started to make plates.
Seeing Ashlyn still hasn't come out the tent, "Excuse me, ill bring Ashlyn." I said and walk back into my camp to wake up Ashley.
"Ashlyn wake up!" I said while shaking her awake, "Chew chew!" Ashlyn chirped annoyedly, asking why do I waking up her so early.
I stilled suddenly! isn't her emotion way too clear, ever since she leveled up to specialist grade, her intelligence increased by far compare to normal specialist grade monsters?
Normally any specialist grade bonded monsters intelligence could be compared two years child and it increased as time passed or it leveled up but Ashlyn intelligence is currently compared to the three years child and only Corporal grade bonded monsters have the intelligence of a three-year-old child.
I sigh! It is not the time to think about such a heavy subject, I hit her head lightly and said, "It's already early morning, don't you want to eat?"
"Chew!" just as I said food, she became active again forgetting she was still in half sleep moment ago.
"Let's go!" I picked her in my hands and get out of the camp.
The plates were already served and they were waiting for us come, I even water coming Rhea's stone panda.
I took the seat and place Ashlyn beside me and about to eat the food, "Chew chew chew!" Ashlyn chirp loudly cautioning me to not the eat the food, I've never felt Ashlyn emotions so serious.
"Rhea, don't eat!" I said loudly, Rhea's hand stopped as she was about to take the bite, not only she, her monster also stopped, she must have stopped her monster from taking the bite.
"Is there something wrong with it?" she asked, I nodded while her right hand reached near her right pocket without anyone noticing.
"What's the meaning of this!" Andrew said angrily, "You tell us? what did you add in the food?" I asked back, I completely trust Ashlyn judgment especially when it comes to food.
She was even able to smell the Miracle Fruit compare to that whatever that in the fruit not worth mentioning.
"Do you think we me did something with the food?" Said Neil accusingly, I am definitely sure something is wrong with the food and there is no one but these two who could do something to food.
We stayed silent to Neil question and just stared at them a quietly demanding answer.
"We have nothing but hospitable ever since we met you, we invited you to our camp and even shared our food with yesterday and now you are accusing us of poisoning food? just because your monster didn't like it!" said Andrew vehemently.
"Forget it, Andrew! this may just be a big understanding, some ingredient in the dish that must have ticked the monster." Neil said a sad expression could be seen on both of their faces.
''Our friends didn't seem to believe us, might as well eat the food to assure them." He said and both of them started to eat food in front of them.
Looking at them eating, I even doubted Ashlyn sense for the moment but soon squashed it, I asked Ashlyn many times telepathically.
If she had made a mistake regarding food but she is quite adamant about how she is right and something is definitely wrong with the food.
"Look, we are eating and nothing happens to us?" said Neil while eating.
Rhea looked at me, asking me the next course of action, I am quite relieved seeing she is still trusted me.
"Ask deedee to catch the small monster and have her taste food?" I asked.
"You got to be kidding me, you still didn't believe us even after we ate in front of you?" Andrew said anger seeing deedee walking in the trees.
''Neil, Andrew I know it won't feel good to you but I trust Ashlyn immensely and there may be some problem in the ingredient which had a problem, it's better be cautious."
''And if she is wrong I will profusely apologize to you and compensate you," I said.
They didn't say anything and we sat in uncomfortable silence.
Suddenly all changed Neil, Andrew, and their monster suddenly, thank god; we were already ready.
'Bam!' rang out as defended Andrews attack with my shield, I had already worn my shield bracelet when Ashlyn told when something wrong with the food and now they suddenly attacked, I quickly activated my shield at moment notice.
While rhea dodge neal and his monsters attack with the help of her knight grade shoes.
''Hehe! Andrew these two quite smart looks like we have to do this old way, you should now summon your monster, there no use hiding it now!" Said Neil while laughing weirdly.
"You right Neal, it's no use hiding it now," he said and summoned his monster.
Our eyes went wide when we saw the monster and everything fell back in place because Andrew monster is
TRI COLOURED POISON TOAD!
Please Vote seriously, Our novel has fallen 7 ranks in a day.
A.
Tri-Colored Poison frog, this explained it all. No wonder! They were able to minx the food without noticing anyone because of its poison is odorless and colorless and could kill those with the same level as it within ten minutes.
They must have mixed poison Tri colored poison frog in the food and had eaten antidote before, so it couldn't affect them.
Such clever planning, if not being for Ashlyn sensing something, we would have laid on the floor dying.
"Hehehe, you caught us! but no worries, we kill you and take all of your things and might as well have some fun with you if you were in one piece," said Andrew, his words were especially directed at Rhea.
"Enough talking Andrew! Quickly finish them off, we only have ten days to reach the scind forest." Neal snapped and both of them attacked us at unison.
"Clank!" as Andrew and my swords clashed, I felt a heavy shock in my arms, I got quite startled
''Clank!" I felt heavy shock traveling through my arms as Andrew and my swords clashed, I barely able to keep myself from taking a step back.
Fortunately I started to circulate the supreme combat exercise as soon as Ashlyn said something is wrong with the food, still, I felt the heavy shock in my hand even after circulating 24th move of the exercise.
I think that was just casual strike from Andrew just to test my power and I was right.
"Clank!" "thud!" I have to take to step back to neutralize the blow. "Hehe!" Andrew laugh and his attacks became even faster.
"Sizzle!" I heard the burning sound, Tricolored poison frog didn't have any offensive except for spitting poison and now that frog is busy with Ashlyn.
The frog would have easily dealt with a monster of the same level but it can do anything to Ashlyn despite Ashlyn being one level lower than it. No matter how much it tried to attack Ashlyn, she is easily dodging it with a flap of her wings.
Ashlyn has been constantly attacking it with mini fireballs, not giving it any chance to attack me, hell! it is quite busy trying to survive from the Ashlyn's fireballs.
''Swish!" I dodged Andrew offense and attacked him but he avoided that quite easily.
''You made a big mistake sending your monster!" Said Neil to rhea gloatingly as he and his monsters attacking constantly while she focused on dodging both of their attacks.
''did I?" Rhea asked back and one could be seen stone panda deedee is coming toward them.
I got pleasantly surprised seeing Deedee coming toward the battlefield, looks like Rhea really didn't send her monster, just asked it to hide in the trees.
Neil got quite startled seeing this bit soon got his emotion under control and started to fight earnestly.
"Where are you looking, do you finding me an easy opponent?" said Andrew and swung her sword toward me.
My heart skipped seeing his sword coming toward me, it was many times faster than his earlier moves, I didn't think much and activated my knight grade.
"Bam!" Andrew's sword clashed with my shield, I was quite surprised because except for slight tremor, I didn't quite feel anything.
Seeing I am totally fine without any scratch, Andrew faces contorted, which looked extremely ideas which had put a smile on face.
he became extremely angry seeing that and started to attack me in frenzy.
"Bam bam bam!" his attacks are so fast that I am having little difficulty moving my shield to counter his attacks.
If I haven't had this shield, I would have got fatally injured by now.
"Looks like your shield is quite special, it will suit very well in my hand," he said with his smile on his and his left-hand move toward extra sword hilt which is hanging by his waist.
My heart started to beat faster, if he is dual saw ord wielder as I am guessing right now then I am in big trouble because it would be very hard to counter both his swords with my sword.
Soon he activated his second sword and attack me with it, one sword is coming towards my waist. I can not dodge the attack of this speed, my only option is to defend it with my sword and shield.
"Bam! Clank!" "crack!" ''Thud thud thud…." I didn't feel anything when I countered his first sword with my shield but when his second sword clashes against my shield, I felt like someone hit my hand with a huge hammer.
The bone of the shoulder splintered a little with me taking back more than ten steps back, even blood has come into my mouth but I drink down forcefully.
I have been circulating 24th move supreme combat exercise ever since the fight started and trying to circulate way past it but every time I do I come across the block as if giant thick still wall blocking me and if I have to circulate past it and create the second seal, I will have to crush that giant steel wall.
I didn't even get a moment of rest before I saw Andrew coming towards me with both of his swords.
This time I barely dodge his first sword while countering others with my shield but I was lucky only one and when he launched another attack I have no chance of dodge and had countered with my shield and sword.
''Puh!" I vomit mouthful blood as I got internal injuries through shock and had to take several steps back to diffuse the force.
Andrew keeps attacking while I kept attacking giant obstacle to creating the second seal, that's my only chance or I will die sooner or later.
Keep resisting while trying to complete the circulation of the second set of exercise.
Bones of both my hands broke as I had to exchange my sword and shield in my hand but that was temporary and within four, five moves my other hand's bones also broke.
''Where do you think, your opponent is me!" I hear Neil saying from distance, Rhea must have tried to come to my rescue but stopped by Niel.
I kept taking a beating from Andrew to the point, all bones of my arms and legs were broken and I am having hard keep active my weapons despite that I still trying to break past 24th move as that my only chance.
I stood up from the ground as I just took another hit from Andrew and rolled away a few steps.
"I have to commend you are quite tenacious if I were at your place, I definitely would have asked for a swift death," said Andrew while coming toward me slowly.
I know he is toying with me but still every time he hit me, I stand up and meet his blows head on.
I will not give up, as long as there is a chance! No matter how much he toyed with me, I'll fight him to the end.
"Let's see how much you can last!" Andrew said with his ugly mouth and swung his both swords toward me.
"Ahhh!" without backing down, I screamed loudly and met both of swords with my sword and shield.
Sigh! from today onwards, I will not ask any of you for your vote, seeing how our novels rank is faring.
