When Stheno is lying on the bend, she suddenly feels her body become hot.
-Urgh. (Stheno)
She wakes up and slithers out of the tent. Stheno chooses a place far from the tent and settles down.
-Something has happened to Jormungandr. My back is hot. (Stheno)
There is no way that Jormungandr messes up with the blessing of Lamia''s army with no further notice.
-There is only one possible outcome. It''s the worst outcome I can imagine. (Stheno)
Stheno grits her teeth and speaks out.
-Jormungandr was defeated. (Stheno)
When Stheno finished saying that, a batwing suddenly grew from her left shoulder.
-The one who defeated Jormungandr probably wants to control us using the Jormungandr blessing. (Stheno)
Stheno reaches out to batwing on her back and breaks it.
-Arghhhh! It''s really hurt. (Stheno)
Unlike the other Lamia, Stheno is the only one who has the partial blessing of Jormungandr. Therefore, the blessing can''t fully control her like others.
-What''s wrong? (Beleth)
When Stheno is groaning in pain, Beleth appears from behind her.
-You... (Stheno)
-I''m sorry. Can you leave me alone for now? (Stheno)
Beleth doesn''t care about it and calls out loud.
-Stolas! I need your help. (Beleth)
Stheno''s face turned dark because she thought Beleth wanted to get rid of her. Beleth reassures her with a calm voice.
-Don''t worry. I won''t hurt you, Stheno. (Beleth)
-Is that so? (Stheno)
Stolas appears next to Beleth and talks to her.
-What''s wrong, Beleth? (Stolas)
-Can you heal that girl, Stolas? (Beleth)
Stolas goes to Stheno''s place and checks the wound on her left shoulder.
-I don''t know. (Stolas)
-What''s the problem? (Beleth)
-I can heal her external wound, but there is something wrong with the mana flow inside her body. (Stolas)
Beleth stares at Stheno and asks her.
-Do you know what is happening to you, Stheno? (Beleth)
Stheno nods and tells Beleth about her problem.
-A blessing. (Stolas)
-That sounds really troublesome. (Beleth)
Beleth makes a troubled face and asks Stheno.
-What will happen if you lose your current blessing, Stheno? (Beleth)
Stheno answers with a painful face since her left shoulder aches again.
-I will lose some of my power and nothing much. Why do you ask? (Stheno)
-Hm, Will the goddess become angry if you lose you lose your blessing? (Beleth)
Stheno shakes her head and answers.
-I don''t think she will be angry since we have known each other for a long time. Arghh! (Stheno)
On the left shoulder of Stheno, something looks like a batwing grows again.
-Let me relieve your pain. (Stolas)
A vine comes out of the ground and stabs at Stheno''s shoulder.
-Beleth, may you cut off the batwing? (Stolas)
-I will do it right away. (Beleth)
Beleth puts out her sword and wields it to cut off the batwing on Stheno''s left shoulder.
-Thanks a lot. (Stheno)
Beleth looks at Stheno and tells her.
-I''m going to cut off the blessing between you and your goddess. (Beleth)
-Eh, but how? (Stheno)
Beleth doesn''t reply to Stheno and starts chanting.
-Show me what normal eyes can''t see. (Beleth)
Many glass fragments appear out of nowhere and float around Beleth. The glasses fragment spreads out and forms into a dome around Beleth and others.
-Dome of truth. (Beleth)
Stheno opens her eyes wide because it''s the first time she sees a skill like this.
-Woah! (Stheno)
Beleth looks at the reflection of Stheno on the glass dome. She finds white light is coming from her body.
-The white light is not pure white. Some parts of it gradually change into a black light. (Beleth)
-I think that is the problem, Beleth. (Stolas)
-Let me cut it real quick. (Beleth)
Beleth wields the sword and cuts off the light reflection on the glass dome.
-Ahhh! (Stheno)
With the cut of Beleth, Stheno falls to the ground like a lifeless doll.
-Is she alright, Stolas? (Beleth)
Stolas checks up on Stheno and replies to Beleth.
-There is nothing wrong with her mana flow now. She will wake up after taking a good rest. (Stolas)
-It''s relieved to hear that. (Beleth)
-Let''s take her back to the tent, Beleth. (Stolas)
-Okay. (Beleth)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Lamia girl raises her body from the bed and looks around. She reaches out to her left shoulder and finds out there is no pain anymore.
-Those two girls are incredible. (Stheno)
-Stheno! (Mia)
-You have wakened up. (Amy)
Stheno looks in the voice direction and finds out two little girls. The two rushes to Stheno and hug her tight.
-I''m sorry for making you two worried. (Stheno)
Stheno pats the head of the twins.
-They seem to like you a lot, Stheno. (Beleth)
-Oh, Beleth. (Stheno)
The twins turn to Beleth and say.
-Because Stheno is warm and kind. (Mia)
-It''s not like we like Stheno more than sister Farah. But the warm feeling that Stheno gives off is like... (Amy)
The twins speak out at the same time.
-Like a mother. (Amy & Mia)
Stheno smiled when she heard the statement of the twins.
-You two are so adorable~ (Stheno)
-Ehehe! (Amy & Mia)
-What are you going to do now, Stheno? Are you going back to help your army? (Beleth)
-Stheno is going back? (Mia)
-Eh? (Amy)
-I have to go back! Unlike me, other Lamias have the full blessing of Jormungandr. I don''t want to stay here and see them turn into the puppet of my enemy. (Stheno)
-... (Beleth)
Beleth looks at the twins and looks at the Stheno.
-I don''t think I can help you since I need to protect these two. And I also need to find my master, too. (Beleth)
Stheno replies to Beleth with a regretful face.
-I understand. (Stheno)
-But... (Beleth)
-But? (Stheno)
-I think I will help you this time. (Beleth)
-Eh? (Stheno)
-Because my instinct tells me that my cute master will appear at where trouble happens. (Beleth)
