Chapter 91: Hello, My Name is Leafa

"Swish, swish, swish," three consecutive flashes of sword light streaked by, and a wild wolf whimpered as it collapsed to the ground.

Busujima Saeko looked at the wild wolf that had turned into fragments and shook her head slightly; in her eyes, these wild wolves were truly too weak. Not only was their strength extremely low, but their attacks were also full of openings. Even if she closed her eyes, she could kill her way in and out of the wolf pack seven times over; it was completely devoid of any challenge.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," with Busujima Saeko providing cover, Alice did not need to worry about the wild wolves attacking her, and the magic in her hands never stopped. Although she sometimes had to pause due to insufficient mana, because her magic attacks were powerful, the number of wild wolves she killed was no less than Busujima Saeko's.

"Sister Saeko, what are you sighing about?" Alice threw an Ice Ball, freezing a wild wolf into ice shards, and asked with some curiosity.

"These monsters are just too weak; they don't even stir a shred of desire to kill in me. Alice, how about we go find some formidable wild monsters?" Busujima Saeko licked her lips.

"But, where would we find formidable wild monsters?" Alice tilted her little head.

"Let's go into the forest; there should be powerful wild monsters there." Busujima Saeko's gaze landed on the forest in the distance.

"Mm, let's go." Alice was also eager to try; after all, since possessing Magic, her strength had skyrocketed, and not a single one of these wild wolves could withstand three of her attacks.

After entering the forest, Busujima Saeko and the other encountered a group of goblins. This group of goblins held tattered wooden clubs, hopping and scurrying about in the woods. Don't let their ugly appearance fool you; they were Level 3 monsters. For ordinary players who were generally only Level 1, they were practically killer-like existences. What was most shocking was that the monster icons, which were originally red, were actually tinged with a hint of grayish-white.

After entering this forest, Busujima Saeko could not help but slightly furrow her brows; these goblins actually gave her a faint sense of threat. Although this was partly due to level suppression, generally, Level 3 wild monsters absolutely could not produce this situation.

"Is it because of that hint of grayish-white on the icon? Could this be the characteristic after being eroded by the power of the Underworld King?" Gazing at the goblins not far away, Busujima Saeko's brows were slightly knit.

"Alice, you lure a goblin over first to test it out." Busujima Saeko gripped the Samurai Sword in her hand and said to Alice behind her.

"Okay, Sister Saeko." Alice nodded, raised her hand, and a Wind Blade shot directly from her hand, carving a large wound onto one of the goblins. When dealing with wild wolves, one Wind Blade could shave off more than half of a wolf's health, but hitting a goblin only shaved off less than one-fifth of its health.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo," the struck goblin looked toward Busujima Saeko and the other, emitting a strange howling sound. The two goblins beside it were startled, and after letting out bursts of strange cries, they both circled toward their direction.

"Looks a bit troublesome, but I like it!" Busujima Saeko looked at the goblins circling in with wooden clubs, the corners of her mouth curling into a bloodthirsty smile, "Alice, protect yourself well!"

"Awoo, awoo, awoo," the goblin hit by the Wind Blade charged the fastest. When it reached Busujima Saeko, the wooden club in its hand was already raised high, smashing toward Busujima Saeko's face. But Busujima Saeko's speed was faster; the Samurai Sword in her hand had already struck its body a step earlier, sending it flying.

Behind Busujima Saeko, Alice waved her hands repeatedly, condensing two Ice Balls and throwing them toward the two goblins in the back. Perhaps because it was their first time seeing this kind of attack, the goblins did not block, letting the Ice Balls hit their bodies. The Ice Balls hit their targets, and a layer of frost appeared on both goblins, their speed slowing down instantly. This was the special effect of the Ice Ball—Deceleration.

After the goblin was knocked back, the Samurai Sword in Busujima Saeko's hand traced sharp trajectories one after another, leaving streaks of wounds on its body. This series of attacks gave the goblin no chance to catch its breath; the health bar above the goblin's head instantly cleared to zero, turning into fragments and scattering.

After its companion was killed, the decelerated goblin actually chose to bypass Busujima Saeko and run toward Alice's direction. Alice pursed her lips, attacking the goblin rushing at her with Wind Blades while constantly retreating.

After eliminating her own opponent, Busujima Saeko turned around swiftly, caught up to the decelerated goblin, and after a series of attacks, beat it into fragments. The other goblin had already reached Alice, its wooden club raised high, but the health bar above its head was already empty, and it could only shatter into fragments all over the ground.

After eliminating the three goblins, Busujima Saeko stuck her sword into the ground, turned her head, and said to a large tree behind her: "Watched a good show over there, aren't you coming out yet?"

No sooner had Busujima Saeko finished speaking than an Ice Arrow appeared in Alice's hand, aimed at the direction of the large tree.

"Um, I have no ill intentions, I just heard someone fighting here, so I came over to take a look." A female voice sounded from behind the large tree, and a short-haired girl holding a Long sword walked out from behind the tree.

"Who are you?" Busujima Saeko looked at the girl, a flash of sharpness in her eyes; judging from this girl's stance and the way she held her sword, this girl should have practiced swordsmanship.

"Um, hello, my name is Leafa, a player who just entered this game." The girl reported her name.

"Leafa?" Busujima Saeko looked the girl up and down; wielding Shura Power, her perception of negative aura was extremely keen, but she did not feel any malice from her.

"Um, can I follow by your side? After all, in this game world, if there are few people, facing wild monsters is very dangerous." Leafa said with some embarrassment.

Alice walked to Busujima Saeko's side and gently tugged on her sleeve.

A trace of doubt flashed in Busujima Saeko's eyes, and she looked at the young girl before her again. The girl looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old; being dragged into this world at such a young age, she probably felt very insecure. It was likely that Alice saw the shadow of her past in her.

"Then let's form a party." Busujima Saeko touched Alice's hair and submitted a party request to Leafa.

"Re, really? Thank you so, so much." Looking at the party request appearing on the virtual panel in front of her, Leafa said excitedly.

After adding Leafa to the party, Busujima Saeko looked toward the goblins in the forest: "Let's go, continue our operation!"

"Mm." Leafa nodded vigorously.

At the same time, in another place, the Long sword in Lingyun's hand swung repeatedly, constantly reducing the health of the cow in front of him. Behind him, Lingqi held a pistol, and whenever there was an opportunity, he would shoot a bullet into the cow's eyes; the two's coordination could be described as exquisite to the extreme.

Because this world had become extremely realistic, every time Lingqi's bullet hit the cow's eye, it could add a Blind status to the cow. In this state, the cow's attack accuracy would be greatly reduced, and Lingyun would take this opportunity to launch a fierce attack.

Under the two's coordination, after just a while, the cow wailed and turned into fragments.

"Finally dropped it; we can have an extra meal tonight." Lingyun looked at the Milk that had appeared in his inventory and nodded with a smile.

At this moment, his Communication Crystal suddenly prompted him that there was a new email. Lingyun opened the email; it was sent by Busujima Saeko, telling him that she had added a girl named Leafa to her party.

"Leafa?" Lingyun pondered for a moment, thinking about this person's background.

After sending an email back to Busujima Saeko, Lingyun looked at Lingqi beside him and said with a smile: "Lingqi, let's go do the next quest."

"Okay!"
