Chapter 73
Davis saw Ellia send a youth flying, with her fists .
'Oh, looks like that youth is a bit okay as he is not aiming for Ellia's life . Guess I could spare him . . . '
Just when Davis thought like that, suddenly he noticed a scrawny youth get behind Ellia as he lifted a dagger and slashed at her .
Davis almost immediately launched himself at him if it weren't for the stupid mistake the scrawny youth made when he arrived behind Ellia .
'That idiot! I thank the heavens that he isn't an assassin!
" Davis's heart, felt at ease when he looked at that scrawny youth speak before slashed at her .
He was at least sure that Ellia would've been able to dodge that with her skills as he had sparred with her before .
Then he saw Ellia dodge that slash as she hurriedly retreated when suddenly an internal fight broke out in the enemy team .
'What the hell!?'
Davis almost couldn't almost hold his laughter but his impression of those two youths who shielded Ellia turned good .
Suddenly he could see Ellia laugh weirdly as she moved to the scrawny youth in a second .
Davis's eyes went wide as he saw her stab that scrawny youth's heart with her finger while she had a calm and indifferent expression on her face .
He gulped as he thought that was scary . He never saw this expression before .
'Had she killed a person before?' He thought as he shook his head .
He then saw those five youth who were ready to kill her, surround her in a bid to end her .
Davis narrowed his eyes as he thought of making his move . He thought that Ellia will panic as she had no battle experience before, but the sight before him made him stay his hand .
He saw Ellia cast the Second Layer Technique of the Extinction Lightning Judgement with a calm face as she fried her opponents to crisp without any reaction .
Davis's heart almost leapt out of his chest as he couldn't believe this scene . He thought that she turned into a person that he doesn't know of .
'Since when did she start killing people like cutting cabbages?' He had this thought and hurriedly moved to spare those two youths who had supported her .
He then saw Ellia sparing those two youths which then made him heave a sigh of relief .
He thought as he ruefully smiled . 'Haha, guess I jumped to conclusions . It was my fault, I brainwashed her too much about survival that she didn't even blink to kill her opponent . '
Davis then saw her call out to him as she collected the tokens one by one .
Just when he was going to reveal himself, he saw her suddenly collapsing while he quickly moved to support her .
'Fuck! As I thought! Which human could possibly not be exhausted and pained mentally when they kill another living being for the first time . ' He thought as he felt guilt in his heart but quickly assured himself that it was a necessary process for her to stay alive even if anything happens to him later on .
After all, he couldn't be there for her every single time when something bad happens .
. . . .
A day passed while the participants either killed or robbed to get their hands on the tokens .
At a place, where there was a multitude of flora and a vibrant grassland filled with countless trees, two silhouettes could be seen as one was sleeping on the other one, who was sitting .
These two silhouettes were Davis and Ellia .
'What is this? Why is she still not waking up?' Davis thought as he looked at her worriedly .
It had been a day and still, there was no sign of Ellia waking up .
Just when he thought of scouting his surroundings, he saw her eyelids gently tremble .
Ellia opened her eyes as she looked at Davis who was looking at her intently . She then realised that she was given a lap pillow by Davis while she blushed visibly .
"Good Morning, Ellia . Although it is night, hehe,
" said Davis as he greeted her in a warm tone .
Ellia quickly stood up while she involuntarily remembered about the event that took place earlier as she started to breathe heavily .
"Calm down, Ellia . What you did was correct, there's no need to be hard on yourself! It was for survival and there was no helping it!
" Davis couldn't help but comfort her, seeing this sight . He originally thought that he shouldn't pry on this topic as it might remind her of something unpleasant but since she remembered, then he had no choice but to comfort her .
Ellia who heard that was visibly comforted but she shook her head as if that wasn't the case .
"Hmm?
" Davis couldn't get what she was trying to say .
She then shook her head again and looked at him sadly as she bit her lips .
"It's nothing, I was just too scared . . .
"
Davis replied,
"Anyone will be scared after their first experience of killing . No need to worry over that .
"
'In this world, we will probably get used to it . ' He thought to himself ruefully but didn't say it to her as he thought that she should understand this herself .
Ellia nodded as she stayed silent .
A few moments passed awkwardly before Davis suddenly remembered something he had to say to Ellia .
"Ellia, just when the first day ended, that solemn voice made its entry again . It said that we will be able to see our ranks in our tokens, as well as the number of points we hold .
"
While saying that, he took out his token as he inserted his energy into it .
Fifth Island
Name: ---
Position: 9,046,970
Points: 50
"Oh, it also said that we could insert our names or alias into it .
" Davis then added .
"Ellia, check your token now .
"
Ellia nodded while she took out her token as she inserted her energy into it .
Fifth Island
Name: ---
Position: 11,446,330
Points: 1
"It says that I have only one point?
" Ellia muttered in confusion .
"Of course, you haven't still absorbed their tokens, have you?
"
"Uh, yes . . .
" Ellia uttered as she gave the tokens she collected to Davis .
"Hey! Increase your points! Didn't you defeat them!?
" Davis refused it as she was the one who defeated them .
"Okay!
" She muttered as she absorbed those eight tokens . The eight tokens then disintegrated as if they didn't exist in the first place .
Out of the eight tokens, two tokens were green, one token was blue, while the other tokens were white .
Fifth Island
Name: ---
Position: 8,636,767
