The lasers all retracted back into the wall with the shield around the cultist disappearing right after.
“See? Knew that you coul—”
Hilda placed Shila down, throwing a newly bought javelin at him.
“I'll kill you!”
“Why so hostile?” He dodged while aiming a gun at Hilda.
“I'll kill you! You piece of crap!”
“If this is about the hair, I got something for that?”
Hilda stopped attacking as she glared at him with suspicion.
“Here,” he passed a potion over which Hilda drank.
Shila walked up to Hilda’s side, “You aren't even going to check?” she stared at Hilda with a tinge of annoyance.
“Well, you didn't stop me so I assume that…” Hilda watched as her hair grew back.
“Right, since you tried to attack me and I'm petty, let's move on to your next trial.”
“Huh?”
He shot the gun at the floor beneath her, opening up a portal which sucked Hilda and Shila in before they had a chance to react, sending them flying through.
“...”
Hilda glanced around before sighing, “Not again…” She muttered, finding herself back in the demon god's territory.
“Tsk…” She got up, wiping her knees off, Shila doing the same.
Hilda turned to Shila, “Why are we back?”
“How would I kn—”
“Why are you back?!” A familiar voice shouted from behind as they both turned around.
“Oh, it's you? Right… What was your name? Liah.. no, Lian, Liam?”
“Litah!” She stomped her food angrily.
Shila pulled Hilda down slightly“You've got a knack for this,” She whispered.
“A knack for what?”
“Pissing others off.”
“Hey! Stop ignoring me, you two!” Litah walked her way up to Hilda and Shila as Hilda seemed to start contemplating something important.
“Hmm…” Hilda placed her palm slightly above Litah’s head and moved it to her own body.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
“What are you doing?” Litah asked, tilting her head as Hilda kept moving her hand back and forth.
“Checking the height difference, se?” Hilda moved her palm once again, to her collar level.
“Shortie.”
“...”
“Go die!” She stomped away.
Hilda watched as she stomped away angrily before turning to Shila and pointing while herself, “what did I do wrong?”
“You were simply yourself.”
Shila followed behind Litah with Hilda following her.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
“Following her.”
“But why?”
Shila turned to Hilda and opened up a notification.
Notification.
Help your acquaintance take revenge.
“We only have one acquaintance here and it's her so…” Shila continued to follow her, eventually finding her entering a wooden shack.
“Knock knock, anybody there?” Shila said while knocking the door.
“Go away,” Litah muttered through the door.
“It's rude to turn away visitors,” Hilda said, trying to open the door but finding it protected by a barrier.
“I'll keep pestering you until you open up.” Hilda started to knock nonstop, continuing until she finally opened the door.
“Stop that! I'm trying to sleep here!”
“Can't, the cultist guy is trying to get us to take revenge for you.” Hilda walked past her into her house.
Her eyes followed Hilda, “Why?”
“How would I know? Just tell me who you have a grudge on except for myself.”
Litah pointed in a direction as Hilda and Shila both tried to find out what she was pointing at but found nothing.”
“It's in that general direction, that stupid thing destroyed my old house!”
“Oh, that explains why you're living in a beggars home.” Hilda said without thinking, making her more annoyed.
“Are you here just to mock me?!”
“Calm down… thanks for the info though, I'll avenge your old crappy house!”
Hilda ran out smirking as Shila followed behind, Litah shouting angrily behind.
“You're 18, shouldn't you be more mature?”
“I'm 17 by month.”
“Actually no, you're 18, your birthday is on the 7th of March, it's April currently.”
Hilda turned to Shila before going to the shop.
“Wrong place wrong time,” Shila said, closing the shop before Hilda could buy anything.
“Hey! The legal drinking age is 18!”
“I don't care.”
Hilda continued to run in the direction, remaining silent for the rest of the time.
“Is that it? Shila squinted her eyes, seeing a small slime in the distance.
“That's small…” Hilda muttered, teleporting to it. “How did she fail to kill something like this?”
Hilda raised her sword, preparing to kill it with a single slash as it suddenly started getting bigger.
“Huh?”
In a few seconds, it became bigger than a building.
“Fff—”
Hilda dodged as it attempted to jump onto her, leaving a massive crater in the ground.
“What the hell…”
Hilda sent an attack at it as the attack left a massive dent in its body, a massive dent that was immediately healed.
“Oh, I hate regenerative monsters.”
“What about Jamine?”
“There's always an exception.”
“The way to deal with these pieces of crap is to just deal massive damage at once.” Hilda prepared her sword with massive amounts of mana and sword qi before sending it, splitting the slime in half.
“Easy,” she muttered with a slight bit of irritation.
Shila tugged Hilda's shirt, “Hilda.”
“Yes?” She responded, sheathing her sword back into her soul.
“It has a regeneration nearly equal to Jamine who, if you remember, can duplicate herself without dying.”
“...” Hilda turned around, finding both pieces of slime attaching itself back together.
“You're kidding me.”
Hilda watched as it reattached itself before jumping back into the air.
“Ah…”
She teleported out of the way with Shila as it kept jumping with Hilda dodging each attempt with ease.
“Right, so it's a checkmate, I can't kill it, it can't kill me.”
“Not really…”
“I can kill it?”
“No, it can kill you.”
“How?”
Shila pointed towards it which spat out chunks of itself which began to shape themselves into monsters which ran at her.
“Well, that's easy,” Hilda took her sword out, preparing to attack as they suddenly turned back into a blob, attaching themselves to her feet to stop her from moving as the slime jumped again.
“Oh, I see the problem. This thing has intelligence.”
