True King's Ecstasy

17 Into the Forest

Two days went after Lyra's awakening and now she has been practising controlling mana and spells with the guidance of Mother.

Like always I started my day by drinking heavenly milk and some sugar time with my mother. It was another peaceful day that's what I thought but suddenly our door opened and Aunt Asumi entered in a panic and held our Mother's hand.

"Nia, Akiyo is missing I don't know where he went, Aiko is also scared that something happened to him," She said in a panic.

"Asumi, calm down and explain what happened," Mother said while giving her a jar of water which she jugged down.

"Akiyo and 2 other children were playing but when I went to ask him to come home he wasn't there, I think he went to the forest, Nia help me to find him," Asumi said on the verge of crying.

"Ok if you say he went to the forest let's search there, I and Lyra will form one team and Delvi and Veli will form another team, Asumi will go with her husband," Mother said with a serious expression.

Then she turned toward the Delviny and Said,

"Delvi, don't go too far since this is your brother's first time going into the forest,"

I wanted to complain but in situations like this Mother is like a seasoned warrior so I decided to not make it any harder for them.

We came to the exit of the village and got into the teams. Other missing children's parents also wanted to come with us but they were just normal villagers so Aunt Asumi said them to stay in the village and search whether they are hiding somewhere inside the village.

"We will search for them until lunchtime, if we were unable to find them in the outer layer of the forest we will go deep inside after getting back together," Mother said while looking at each other simultaneously.

Before she leave with Lyra she came toward me and Delviny and embraced us then she left with Lyra into the forest.

We also went into the outer layer of the forest. Even though my mother and both my sister think I haven't been to the forest I have sneaked here a couple of times to search for more edible plants and magical herbs.

(Outer layer of forest - Only Low-rank Monsters are there)

I had a small dagger and my sister had a sword which is quite old. We searched for any sign of fight or sound but the forest was silent. We defeated some low-rank monsters like Slimes and horned rabbits and further deep into the forest.

After searching for a few minutes we found a goblin cave which had 3 or 4 goblins.

"Sister Delvi, Let's wait and see whether these monsters captured Akiyo and others otherwise we don't need to provoke an unwanted fight," I said trying to look inside the cave.

"Yeah, that's the best option now,"

*CRACK

Just as we finished talking we heard someone stepping on a dry branch. We turned around to see who it was but it was too late. It was another goblin it shouted to warn others about the two intruders.

I quickly used my dagger and precisely slit its neck I didn't stop there I warned sister Delvi and she also took her sword and got ready to fight.

We were not at a disadvantage, Sister Delvi was C rank while these goblins were also C ranks but just as you expected from a low-rank monster they have no intelligence. Even though I'm u awakened, I still had good flexibility and strength compared to the ordinary 5 years old.

I precisely slit another goblin's neck while Sister Delvi already defeated two goblins.

(*Apprisal)

I said to check her status just as I expected from a training demon. Her status was also not that bad,

Name: Delviny Bersa

Sex: Female

Age: 10

Race: Human

Overall Rank: C

Blessings: -

Elements: Fire and Wind

Magic skills: Boost(C), Fireball(D), Wind arrow(D)

Martial art skills: Swordsmanship (B), Dagger arts (C), Fist fighting arts (D)

We were at last down to 1 Goblin and Delvi wanted to finish it using a spell then she chanted,

(*Fireba.....)

Before she finished her chanting suddenly the cave started to shake and a big goblin came out, I got cold sweat from what I saw. I grabbed Delvi's hand and got ready to run but it suddenly threw a stone aiming at us. We dodged it but Delvi's leg got injured.

"Fuck, Sister we can't fight this thing it is a hobgoblin, an A rank monster we will die if we were to fight this," I said panicking.

"How do you know Veli that it's an A-rank monster," Delvi asked looking at me.

"Now is not the time sister we need to do something or we will die here," I said.

"Veli, leave me here and ask the help from mother," she said.

"You can't hold it, Sister didn't I tell you won't survive even one hit from It, Don't think I will leave you here and go back," I said while looking at her with sadness.

Shit! Shit! I can't die here, I got a loving family and fulfilling life after 24 years of suffering alone. I got a loving mother in this life and two sisters who love me more than anything.

I can't die here this pathetically even if I were to die I will protect Delvi.

"Luna, can't we do something about this," I asked while hiding behind a rock.

[Master there are two options]

[Sacrifice your unique skill so that you can awaken your magic core. This is the less risky option but I'm not sure whether the master will be able to defeat this monster]

[Start a forced evolution this is a highly risky and painful move, I'm not sure whether the master will be able to endure this pain for the whole day but you will be able to defeat this monster]

[Master, Choose your option]
