Chapter 206: Chapter 206
While the armoured woman and the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney were coming back into the bunker, back in the fourth underground floor of the bunker hidden inside Coast Forest, the battle between Eru and the red-haired woman was still underway. In fact, the battle became even more ferocious after Eru
“Argh!” Eru was spinning in the air, flying into a wall after being kicked by the red-haired woman. However, the red-haired woman did not fare too well, either. She was also thrown back quite far, crashing into a wall with blood all over her body. The red-haired woman burrowed herself out of the wall, “Amazing, amazing”, the red-haired woman had a sinister grin on her face, “This is why I wanted to live. This is why I came back to life. A battle like this, satisfy both my body and soul!” she declared loudly. Eru moved his shoulders, getting himself out from the wall, “What the fuck are you saying, you battle-loving pervert!?” Eru shook his head.
The red-haired woman scoffed, “You say that but what is with your smile? Your expression betrayed your words.” Unknowingly, Eru also had a small grin on his face. Eru touched his face, feeling the smile on his face; Eru let out a small sigh, “Alright, I’ll admit it, I do enjoy a good battle. But life is more than just a good battle,” Eru rebuked. “Then we agree”, the red-haired woman gathered her strength, “Before we return to our mundane life, let us enjoy this battle of ours!” the red-haired woman shot herself towards Eru with frightening speed.
Eru held his black sword, bracing himself for the confrontation with the red-haired woman with a mix of complicated expressions on his face. The red-haired woman began by striking the raven-haired youth in front of her. Her aura-empowered fist was strong enough that Eru’s raven-coloured protective membrane was ineffective. Eru had to use her black sword to parry the red-haired woman’s attacks. However, how can a sword move faster than fists? The red-haired woman’s attacks managed to slip past through Eru’s guard. But, how could Eru let the red-haired woman hit him just like that?
So, Eru had to be a little bit creative in fending off and counterattacking the red-haired woman. Whenever the red-haired woman overextended her attacks, that’s where Eru began to counterattack. Not only that, but Eru also sometimes threw his own black sword towards the armoured woman whenever he got some distance from her. And using Buddy’s unique ability to summon it back to Eru’s hand, he managed to catch the red-haired woman off guard multiple times.
As the battle between Eru and the red-haired woman raged on, suddenly, Eru felt weak all of a sudden and the raven-coloured protective membrane around him faded. Because of that, Eru began to slowly fall from the sky with an unwilling expression on his face. Eru sighed before looking up towards the sky, “Why now!” Eru yelled his frustration out loud. Before Eru managed to hit the ground, however, Long flew in and caught him right in the air. “Are you okay, brother Eru?” Long asked while glaring right at the red-haired woman.
Long gently put Eru down on the floor, “Be careful. She is super strong”, Eru warned before Long chugged a bottle of green potion into Eru’s mouth. “Rest for a while, brother Eru. I’ll handle this one”, Long stretched his body. “Hmm?” the red-haired woman looked at Long with wonder, “Where’s Meng Huo?” she inquired. “I took care of him”, Long replied with a short answer. “Interesting”, the red-haired woman cracked her knuckles, “I hope you entertain me as much as your friend did earlier.” Long scoffed, “Don’t worry. By the time I’m done with you, you will wish to die earlier from brother Eru’s hand.” The red-haired woman’s lips slowly curled up into a smile, “Let us see about that.”

The armoured woman, the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney were able to go through the first underground level of the hidden bunker. “Finally, we’re out. Ah!” Sydney gasped as a bright light engulfed her. The blue-haired female soldier stood agape, “How is this possible?” she furrowed her eyebrows, watching the scene in front of her; the blue-haired female soldier was left in disbelief. “Unbelievable”, the armoured woman exclaimed while shaking her head, “A large forest underneath the ground. Really unbelievable.” Then, the armoured woman scrutinized her surroundings, “Huh?” she looked at a huge corpse of a monstrous plant in the distance, “What is that?” she furrowed her eyebrows.
“Maybe we should take a look”, Sydney suggested. After that, the armoured woman and the blue-haired female soldier followed Sydney’s suggestion, and the trio proceeded towards the corpse of the large plant-like monstrous creature. Along the way, the armoured woman, the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney came across a sign of a hastily-built camp made of wood. “A campfire?” the blue-haired female soldier furrowed her eyebrows. “Maybe Teacher Eru and Long rest up here earlier”, Sydney chimed in. The armoured woman crouched down, examining the campfire before looking around, observing her surroundings. “Sydney is right”, the armoured woman said, “This campsite was used by Eru and that young man named Long earlier.” The blue-haired female soldier approached the armoured woman, “How do you know, big sis Syndra?” she asked.
The armoured woman picked up the remains of beef jerky on the ground, “Look at this.” The blue-haired female soldier scrutinized the remains of beef jerky in the armoured woman’s hand, “A ration?” The armoured woman nodded, “That’s right. And judging by the campfire, they were here one day ago”, the armoured woman said. “If that’s the case, we need to hurry up”, Sydney suggested. The armoured woman nodded in agreement, “I agree. We need to hasten our pace. After all, we don’t know what might happen to those two. Who knows if they need our help or not.”
As the armoured woman, the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney traversed the forest, they eventually reached the corpse of the giant plant-like monstrous creature. “A sign of battle and explosion. I’m guessing that young man named Long did this to the roots?” the armoured woman pondered. “Hey, big sis!” the blue-haired female soldier waved her hand. “What is it?” the armoured woman looked over. “There is a big hole over here”, the blue-haired female soldier said while pointing at the hole beneath the corpse of the giant plant-like monstrous creature. “Is that the way down from here?” Sydney frowned.
“I think not”, the armoured woman shook her head, “There’s got to be another way to go down. There’s no way a sane person would use this hole to go down.” The armoured woman and her party of three left the hole after that, traversing the forest looking for the stairs to go down.

While the armoured woman, the blue-haired female soldier and Sydney were combing the forest above at the third underground floor, looking for the exit, the battle between Long and the red-haired woman was underway. Long nimbly flew around in the sky, attacking the red-haired woman with a mix of long-range and close-range attacks. “You fight rather annoyingly”, the red-haired woman clicked her tongue with annoyance. “Thank you for your praise”, Long smirked before sending out another multiple fireball towards the red-haired woman while flapping his red-coloured wings, flying backwards to keep creating distance from the red-haired woman.
“Stop running away!” the red-haired woman parried all of Long’s fireballs with her bare hands as she chased after Long by stepping in the air. “Who’s running away” Long twirled his red staff, “Fire Blast!” he shouted. After that, a cone made of flames slightly hindered the red-haired woman’s vision. Long made use of that small timing window to get close towards the red-haired woman. Then, Long coated his red staff with his fire mana, brandishing it at the red-haired woman. Long sent the red-haired woman flying back to the ground with his red staff before he followed up by slightly folding his red-coloured wings, chasing towards the falling red-haired woman.
Long was about to thrust the red-haired woman with the tip of his staff, but the red-haired woman stopped it with the sole of her feet. “Nice try”, the red-haired woman let out a small smirk. Then, the red-haired woman kicked Long into the air, flipping herself to an upright position before leaping high. The red-haired woman grabbed Long by his throat before slamming him into a nearby wall. After that, the red-haired woman clenched her fists before punching Long, burying him into the wall.
After pummeling Long for a while, the red-haired woman grabbed Long by his throat once again. Then, the red-haired woman threw Long back towards the ground. The red-haired woman looked down at Long, “You’re weaker than your friend” the red-haired woman scoffed, “Much, much weaker than him.” Then, the red-haired woman dived down from the air, kneeing Long right at his stomach. After that, the red-haired woman picked up Long by his foot, dangling him upside down, “Then, how are you able to defeat my dear experiment, huh?” she glared right at Long’s eyes.
