Crimson Overlord

Chapter 133

In the Lost forest, Nemesis’s woke up after a good night. She looked beside her, and as she expected, Orpheus was gone. She signed and immediately got up from the bed and strolled outside. The sun was shining in the sky, seemingly to announce the start of a beautiful day.

”It’s time to get to work.” Nemesis mumbled before unsealing her strength.

BOOM!

A powerful aura burst out from her body, startling the nearby beasts and scaring the birds away.

”Mhm! I think Level 3 will do.” She mumbled before using one of her special skills. This skill quickly covered fifty kilometers, and inside Nemesis’s mind, small dots appeared in her mind, there were divided into two categories, one was blue while the other was red. The red was for the monsters, and those Nemesis deemed as enemies, while the green ones were not her enemy. Among the green dots, there was one particularly shining than others.

”Found you! Ten kilometers away from here. She is in a special place, and she seems to be alone. That made things perfect for me.” Nemesis mumbled before canceling her skill. She called this ability Mapping; she combined her spirit perception with her senses to create a three-dimensional map of her surrounding inside her mind.

Using this Mapping, she could locate Luna Morningstarr’s location, and as if Fate was favoring Nemesis, the latter happened to be alone ten kilometers north from her current position. Nemesis concealed her level before heading toward Luna’s location. She was smiling; this was going to be fun.

°°°°°°

In another, at a place that was 3 km away from a waterfall. This place revolved around trees, sounds of birds chirping rang out, and the fragrance of fragrant flowers drifted around the air. This place was a pretty good secluded paradise, but the precondition was that if there weren’t any people here. There was someone here; she had just fought against a strong origin beast and successfully killed it.

Luna was exhausted; she was dragging her exhausted body toward the waterfall to take a bath when suddenly, she froze.

”!”

The little princess from the fallen clan felt goosebumps rising all over her body. There was a strong origin beast behind her, probably a middle-rank Tier 3 Origin beast (A/N: Comparable to Level 4 Origin main). For the peak Level 5 Luna, such a beast was too much to handle; her legs almost gave up.

Just as she was about to let herself fall into despair, someone shouted at her.

”Watch out.”

Then the origin beast roared.

Roarrrr!

With an earsplitting roar, the next thing Luna knew was the body of a woman clashing against her body, and together with this person, they were sent flying.

BOOM! Crack!

The two collided against many trees before stopping.

”Cough! Cough! Are you alright?” Luna asked as soon she could stand up; she was trying to check the other party’s body when she froze because she discovered who had saved her.

”Senior Nemesis ?” Luna asked, shocked; it was the black-haired beauty who saved. For some unknown reason, she felt this person was above her; something deep within her whispered to her that she must be disrespectful toward this woman. She was superior to her, almost as if her bloodline was superior to her; she had to obey her, which was strange considering that Nemesis was not a demon from what she could tell; her family name was Ares. So, what was going on?

Nemesis glanced at Luna, lost in thoughts, and her lips curved upward before returning to normal. The seed had been planted; she must continue with the game.

”Cough! Cough! I’m glad you are fine, classmate Luna.” Nemesis pretended to have coughed blood.

”Ah! Forgive Senior Nemesis. Let’s me help you.” Luna was brought out of her stupor; feeling guilty, she immediately offered her help. She helped Nemesis to stand up.

”Thank you. Can I call you Luna?” Nemesis, who was now standing on her feet, asked. Luna became flustered and hurriedly responded.

”Of course, Senior Nemesis.”

”That’s good, but I will feel uncomfortable if you keep calling senior; just Nemesis is enough.” Nemesis suggested while secretly scaring away the beast she had previously directed this way.

Unaware of what happened, Luna seemed troubled; she couldn’t bring herself to call Nemesis by her name; her soul seemed not to allow this.

”That? That is..”

Seeing how troubled Luna was, Nemesis sighed while inwardly chuckling.

”You seemed troubled because I’m older than you. Okay, you can call me Big sister if you want.”

Luna’s face brightened, and she immediately called Nemesis big sister.

”Thank you, big sister, for saving me. The beast seemed to have left. Left go, you should rest.” Luna said while dragging Nemesis with her; she didn’t found weird how easily she accepted to call Nemesis her big sister. She couldn’t be blamed; after all, she felt happy for an unknown reason, and she just wanted to feel this happiness for a little bit longer.

••••••

A few hours later, Nemesis, who pretended to be sleeping, woke up with a yawn.

”Big sister, you woke up? How are you feeling?” Luna, who had been watching over her, asked.

‘How diligent can you be? Or is my bloodline that strong?’ Nemesis wondered while looking at Luna, who seemed she could jump and check her body at any moment if she said she wasn’t feeling well.

‘Well, either way, this is great.’ Nemesis mumbled before rubbing Luna’s hair.

”Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Luna was ecstatic when she heard this. She was about to suggest they should camp here tonight when suddenly Nemesis took her into her arms before vanishing from inside the tent and reappearing a few meters away.

*Boom!*

A huge fireball crashed against their tent, instantly burning it to ash, only smoldering ashes remaining on the ground.

Luna turned pale; as for Nemesis only, she chuckled; thanks to her stronger spirit perception, she sensed the threat in advance, thus managing to avoid the fate of being cooked alive.

Nemesis looked at the culprit of the current situation; it was a giant origin beast, covered in brown scales, it reached twelve meters long, and for its height, it was five meters high. This origin beast is called Earth Lizard.

The Earth Lizard opened its mouth and spit fire, dozens of medium size fireballs toward them.

Luna, despite the fear threatening to overwhelm her spirit, still acted; she created a barrier and blocked the advancing fireballs.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Luna’s barriers managed to last until the last fireball before breaking down.

She immediately attacked with wind bullets; those bullets shot through the air like knives, crashing against its scales, slightly injuring it; wind started to invade its body.

The Earth Lizard roared before charging towards Luna, clearly furious; it wanted to crush her, but how could Nemesis allow that.

She pushed her behind her before moving; she advanced and slashed at the Earth Lizard’s right eye, one of its weak points; she slashed using a sword covered in flame. However, the attack was blocked by its claw.

*Clang!*

Nemesis almost dropped the sword due to the shock that passed through her sword to her hands. Because she sealed her strength, she couldn’t go all out against this peak Tier 3 beast.

Suddenly, Nemesis sensed a threat coming from her back; she immediately rolled to the ground, managing to avoid being whacked by the Earth Lizard’s tail.

On the other side, Luna kept attacking, but she was hardly dealing any damage to the beast.

Seeing none of her attacks dealing any damage, Luna beat her lips before combining the Dark attribute and the Wind attribute to create a dark green spear.

”Pierce my enemy, Judgment spear!”

Immediately, the dark green spear tore through the air like a comet towards the Earth Lizard.

Having sensed the incoming threat, the Earth Lizard opened its mouth and spat a big fireball towards the incoming dark green spear.

*Kaboom!!!*

When the two attacks collided, a big explosion occurred, sending shockwaves in all directions. The trees in the vicinity were blown away.

As for Luna, she had already escaped towards the sky, quietly floating twenty meters in the air, and behind her back was pair of bat-like wings.

The Earth Lizard was also blown two meters back, and Nemesis was already behind the beast, using her sword to pierce its left eye.

The Earth Lizard roared in pain and started trashing in all directions wanting to throw her off, but she refused to let go of the sword.

Nemesis continued to push the flame sword deep inside its left eye. She wanted to pierce its brain from here. Just a little more, and she would kill the Earth Lizard.

Without warning, Nemesis let go of her sword and retreated.

Whoosh!!

She dodged the Earth Lizard tail by air breath; if she were late by a millisecond, she would have been blown away and, worst case, break a few bones. That was a close call.

Although she didn’t manage to kill it as she was planning instantly.

It was not going to change his final fate, Death.

Nemesis smiled before muttering.

“Explode”

Instantly the sword inside its left eye exploded. The Earth lizard’s head exploded into a gory mess.

‘Fufufu! It is going according to the plan.’ Nemesis mumbled while looking at Luna, who seemed mesmerized by the fight.

Hiding the huge grin on her face, Nemesis retrieved the Earth Lizard crystal core; it was red in color, showing that the Earth Lizard was a fire attribute origin beast.
