Chapter 12: Side-character
"You are just level 30, yet your strength far exceeds that. Even if you are classified as a boss, you shouldn't be strong enough to make Stella use her Ultimate Skill. What happened to you, and who are you?" Sara pointed her spear at the hungry demon.
Wolfen Demon widely smiled, revealing his sharp teeth, "I am the descendant of the true owner of this land. You pests who invaded us will soon become our food. You will pay for your ignorance."
Although he looked like a wild beast, Wolfen Demon's intelligence was high. He knew that he stood no chance against Stella and Sara.
If it were just one winged woman, he would maybe manage to kill her and make her sacrifice. But since Stella's Ultimate Skill had already healed her up to full HP, he still had doubts about it.
But now that Sara came, he knew he would die soon.
If that was the case, Wolfen Demon decided to gather as much intel as possible. He wanted to see more of Stella's Ultimate Skill, and he also wanted to bring out Sara's Ultimate Skill!
He would gladly die for that much information.
Therefore, Wolfen Demon's stance didn't change. He stood with confidence and spoke in the same annoying tone.
He also took the first step forward and pounced at Sara!
His sharp claws soon cleft Sara. Fortunately, she quickly took a few steps back and replied with a fast thrust.
At the same time, holy mana fell onto her like a waterfall.
"Tsk," Sara clicked her tongue and bit her lips.
Although holy mana was a great source of power against holy demons, Sara was half-dullahan. That race couldn't tolerate holiness, and they used different energies to strengthen and heal themselves.
However, Sara's human side helped her mitigate the painful effects. That human side also accepted Stella's blessings, increasing Sara's stats tenfold!
"I will support you. Kill him. Fast." Stella's lazy voice rang out from the top.
She descended behind Sara then poured her whole mana onto her. In her Ultimate Skill form, Stella's skills would ensure that Sara's HP never fell below 50%.
Swathed by the holiness, Sara shouted, "Heal him too, you sloth!"
"Sure…" Stella closed her eyes.
In her case, healing Wolfen Demon would inflict tons of damage. That was how she could deal with those demons alone, even though her class was [Healer].
BOOM!
[-474 HP!]
Sara's thrust left considerable damage behind. And as she took her spear back, she immediately added a few more cuts and slashes.
She was much stronger than ever before since her sister was forced to reveal her peak form. Her dark armor shone in two colors, and she looked like someone who couldn't decide between holy and dark mana.
But while it looked like that, her two energies blended well. It was perhaps a sisterly bond she had developed in a plight!
"Ahhh!" Wolfen Demon roared loudly.
He didn't expect the healer's buffs to be this strong. Each of Sara's attacks felt heavy and strong, to say nothing of how easily they penetrated through his skin.
Not only did Stella's blessing increase Sara's damage penetration, but Sara also had her skill which helped her deal with tough opponents.
Those two blended and inflicted tons of damage!
He barely could fend off against her spear. And when he found a gap and saw that perfect timing to strike back, Stella's healing fell on him.
That holy energy stopped him, even if it was for just one second. But in that one second, Sara already covered her gap and increased her defenses.
"AHHHH!" Wolfen Demon grew frustrated.
Sara smirked, "You haven't answered my first question. What happened to you? No one of you has ever displayed this much strength."
As she had said before, a level thirty hungry demon should never force one of them to reveal their Ultimate Skills. And if it weren't for Stella's peak form, Sara wouldn't be speaking with him in such a haughty way.
Wolfen Demon didn't reply. Instead, more dark red miasma left his body. That was his raw mana, and he seemed to go for his ultimate skill.
Naturally, both Sara and Stella wouldn't let him use it.
Before his technique coalesced, Stella used one of her skills and marked him. A holy cross appeared on the demon's chest.
Sara's spear was already in the move, even before that holy technique had appeared.
As if expecting it, her spear pointed at the cross. The moment her spear went through Wolfen Demon's chest, the holy energy burst out from within, splitting his body and turning it into the fountain.
He burst out like a balloon, his bones, flesh, and blood splattering around.
Alex stood behind Stella, like a mob, "Damn… Is that how it feels to be a side character?"
He was nothing but amazed.
He heard many stories about Sara's fast and decisive spearmanship from Celia. Still, he thought of these as stories fabricated through respect and love toward her mother.
He knew there should be a grain of truth to these, but oh how wrong he was!
Alex also saw the blessing effects.
For a moment, he was stupified with how many effects Stella had come up with! Even if it was due to her Ultimate Skill form, the amount of these was heaven-defying.
Right now, he understood.
He understood how lucky he was to become associated with them.
These two were legendary NPCs; one of the best partners players could get in the game!
"Who?" Stella heard Alex, so she turned around and looked at him.
Hearing how she lazily spoke and cut off some words, Alex smiled and scratched his head, ready to introduce himself.
But as their eyes met, the system messages flashed.
[You have met your husband, Alexander Deathwill.]
[You have met your wife, Stella Deathwill.]
"Husband?" Stella asked with narrowed eyes.
Alex nodded, "Well, that's how it is. Your father chose me as his successor."
Stella nodded, and a hint of happiness crept onto her face, "So you will take care of me. Carry me…. Home."
"…" Alex blinked his eyes.
Before he noticed, Stella saddled him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her little nose in his hair.
Her eyes closed, she prepared herself to sleep.
"Did she just teleport?" Alex whispered, "Hey! Hold tighter!"
He quickly found out that Stella was too lazy to hold onto him. He properly held her legs and leaned forward just to make sure she wouldn't fall off.
Sara came with quivering lips and an awkward smile, "She must be too tired after using her Ultimate Skill. Forgive her, okay? I will reward you back home."
Alex shook his head, "I did nothing, so I will carry her back home. She is pretty light, you know?"
"Thanks." Sara smiled widely.
Alex found out that she was rather too happy.
And as he turned his eyes to the left, he noticed her level went up two times!
"Oh. Congratulations," Alex was also happy.
He knew how hard it was for them to level up.
Sara grinned, "Two levels in one battle! This feels so rewarding!"
Sara would've hugged him tightly if it weren't for armor or perhaps Stella on Alex's back. She was that happy and relieved.
But as she looked over her sister, Sara's happiness subsided…
"Stella should have received the same amount of EXP… How come she didn't level up?" Sara carefully examined her sister.
But as she held no means to look into Stella's system, she could only wait for her to wake up.
Alex also peeked at Stella's status.
[Stella Deathwill Lv. 27 HP: ??? MP: ???]
"Maybe she is close to leveling up," he reassured Sara before returning back home.
On their way, Sara showed the loot.
One of the items was quite interesting, so much that Sara couldn't hide her happiness.
