Chapter 669: Athena's Quest Part 5
Pov Lilian:
I keep watching my niece through the window, I'm glad she's alive and well, but I wish she had told me about her plans, I would have supported her with all my might.
"I know you're there, you can show up." (Melissa)
I enter the room like a breeze through the window and make myself visible by canceling my ability as I'm sitting in front of her.
"How do you know when I'm around?" (I)
"I don't know, I repeat that phrase whenever I'm alone, sometimes it works." (Melissa)
"I'm surprised something like this works." (I)
"We both know who taught me that when I was just a kid." (Melissa)
I look at her, and we both smile at each other.
"Why didn't you tell me about your plan?" (I)
"Because he was wary of the Empire's best spy, so he had to keep you away." (Melissa)
"How are you? I heard you were weakened." (I)
"I'm fine, I'm the one who created these rumors to make them let their guard down." (Melissa)
"I just didn't expect them to attack so immediately." (Melissa)
"He even created rumors about attacking another city as a distraction." (Melissa)
"What are you going to do now?" (I)
"I'm going to attack him, but he's wrong if he thinks I'm going to do that inside the city, I would never put my people in danger." (Melissa)
"You know I can't help this time." (I)
They act faster than expected, they keep going in the same direction, but this time they're going at twice or even triple their previous speed, it seems they've lost interest in being cautious now that they've been discovered.
As they ran, they were attacked by even more people, this time it was the troops of that Empire attacking the enemies.
"(She is not among them.)" (I)
Just like she said, she's keeping herself hidden for a time when she's needed.
Even having achieved the first attack and being in greater numbers, soon the Empire troops are at a disadvantage, fighting in a forest is not an easy thing, in addition, the enemy troops have already started their transformations becoming true Kimeras, they have complete mastery of their bodies showing that they have done an arduous training and thanks to that they move through this Forest as if it were their home using this terrain in their favor.
Soon the surroundings are ravaged by area-of-effect spells that destroy the forest giving a suitable terrain for both sides to fight, this takes away one of the worst disadvantages for the Empire troops.
The fight continues, but this time they are more equal in power, then I see someone with a hood appear and shout something, then half of these Kimeras take a few steps back away from their enemies even at the risk of receiving some hits, which happens injuring many and killing less than 10 of them directly.
So these enemies pay the purple crystal I heard about and hit the chest, even from this distance I realize that these crystals contain some kind of curse.
"She should have shown up by now." (I)
"She won't show up...look at the city." (Darius)
I look at the city which is not far away, something colossal was in the middle of the city hidden by the smoke caused by the fire in the city, there seems to be someone flying around that thing fighting this giant.
"What is that,?" (I)
"I don't know, but should we get involved?" (Darius)
"Yes, you guys deal with that monster, I'll stay to continue the mission alongside Angela and Michael." (I)
"Master Zenos won't like us to help in this war." (Darius)
"It doesn't matter, I won't let another city be destroyed while I'm just watching from afar..." (I)
"I found him, I'm sure he's the person who shouted the orders now, the man in the hood." (Angela)
I look at the man who just appeared and is hiding his face, if he is our target then he will be killed now.
"Now, it's my turn." (I)
