"That's strange, it seems like it's already gone," Echidna said.
"Really? What was it?"
Echidna leaned against a tree and spoke, "It was a strange creature, it was over three meters tall and completely blue with red eyes."
"Why didn't you attack it then? It seemed quite dangerous," Dantalian said, approaching Echidna.
"I can't attack everything I see just because it looks dangerous at first sight. I don't know what would happen if I killed something innocent," Echidna replied, her hand trembling as she showed a sad expression, recalling something from the past. She muttered under her breath, "I'm not like my mother..."
' It seems like she hasn't noticed... For someone who strictly follows the rules, she has quite a loose tongue ' Dantalian thought.
Dantalian leaned against the tree above Echidna's head. "Changing the subject, are you interested in hiring my services?"

As Echidna looked confused at Dantalian, the time limit for the bet was approaching. The three girls continued to ruthlessly kill every monster they encountered. It seemed like the elven kingdom wouldn't need to worry about them for a long time.
"What a curse. Why do they have to be so strong?" Amanda muttered, poking both eyes of a red-furred wolf that had leaped towards her. ' Why am I so weak ' She thought, sinking her fingers deeper into the wolf's eyes, forcing its head to the ground until it was completely crushed.
"This world is unfair," Amanda said, standing up and looking at the remaining wolves in the pack.
"Even if I lose, Miss Fiona will do what both of us want, so fuck this competition," Amanda said, running towards the wolves.
"I'll take out my frustration on you bastards," Amanda's eyes had a feline appearance, and two fangs had grown in her mouth, while her nails started to lengthen.
The wolves that were growling incessantly, drooling, and thinking about eating the flesh of their own kind became paralyzed.
"What? Are you surrendering?" Amanda said, looking at the remaining sixteen wolves, inclining their heads downwards as a sign of complete submission.
'Wolves are extremely arrogant and proud creatures. Even if I kill their entire pack in front of them, they wouldn't surrender. So, what's happening?' Amanda thought, frozen in shock, trying to understand what was going on.
"Wof wof," the only wolf with a red stripe from its nose to its tail was rubbing its face against Amanda's leg.
"Huh? What? You're their leader? How dare you do something so humiliating?" Amanda said, picking up the wolf, lifting it, and looking into its face. "You're the strongest, right? You're the leader? Then why are you bowing your head to me?"
"Wof?" The wolf tilted its head to the side, indicating that it meant no harm.
"Well, damn it, I can't kill you like this..." Amanda made a disgusted expression, trembling as she placed the leader wolf back on the ground. "Ahhh, I can't take it anymore." Amanda began to pet the leader wolf.
"Now that you're no longer my enemy, it's okay to do this."
"You're such a cute little thing... You don't even seem like you were trying to tear a piece out of me just a little while ago." Amanda sighed, looking to the side.
Seeing this, all the wolves were shocked, remembering all the derogatory names they had called her, as well as the demonic face of Amanda as she killed her own kind.
"What are all of you doing there? Come here! It's dangerous to stay there. This forest is full of monsters, right?" The demonic face they had in their minds was replaced by Amanda's angelic and innocent face, which she originally had before becoming Dantalian's servant.
"But what will I do with all of you? We'll be leaving the kingdom in a few days." Amanda began to think of possible solutions.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn this way, Amanda was officially out of the competition, and while she appeared to be a pet shop caregiver, giving each of the wolves a name, Fiona stood in front of a huge green ogre.
The ogre wore half of another ogre's skull as a mask. One of its eyes was completely black, while the other radiated a strong red glow. It measured over two meters and had several red stripes on its arms and legs. It carried a huge war axe. This was one of the weekly bosses, and now it was looking furious at Fiona, saying, "You will pay for disturbing the balance of this cursed forest, human."
"You talk too much for someone who is already dead," Fiona said, as translucent ice blades from four swords passed through the ogre, cutting off its head with the first sword, its two arms with the second and third swords, and its body in half from the waist down with the fourth and final sword.
Fiona smiled and pointed to the left, making all five swords fly in that direction towards a group of seven goblins.
"Fiona, you bitch, stop trying to cheat," Freytan shouted, slicing the five swords into tiny pieces, burying his right leg in the ground, and looking at the goblins who started running in panic. "Die, you pests," Freytan said, throwing the Sakura sword towards the five goblins. A small pink and purple lightning struck the area for less than two seconds, and when the goblins managed to open their eyes, sweating cold, they looked at the sword a few meters away from them, touching their bodies. They realized that they had no wounds and began to mock Freytan.
" What are you laughing at? Being cut would be a reward for you " Freytan snapped his fingers, and from within the goblins' bodies, tiny purple lightning bolts emerged, connecting their bodies to the handle of the Sakura sword.
The desperate goblins tried to remove the strange electrical connection between their bodies, but they didn't have time to do anything as their bodies were already destroyed by the electric explosion.
And with these deaths, the competition came to an end. Seeing all this happen, Echidna spoke without thinking much, moving to the side and bowing to Dantalian. " I'm sorry, but I forgot that I have something important to do for Princess Anna. See you later, Lord Dantalian " she began to run towards the castle.
' Oh my god, come up with a better lie next time, Echidna ' Dantalian thought, smiling.
[It seems things didn't go as planned, huh?]
"Huh? What are you talking about? I didn't plan anything."
[Wait, what?]
