A Journey That Changed The World.-Chapter 888: Do You Think Ella Will Scold Us

[Nala & Halime's POV]

"Come on, Hali, I see the Eastern Gate," Nala exclaimed while they trekked through the forest before reaching the grassland that led to the city.

While covering her head with a scarf, leaving her yellow snake eyes on show, she spoke in a breathless voice as they ran through the forest: "I know, Nala. Slow down; you're walking too fast."

The lioness turned to her with glowing blue eyes, "Sorry. I'm excited to go wild in a city, especially the Novgorodians who have attacked us many times. It feels good getting some revenge."

Halime nodded as they left the forest behind and saw rolling grasslands covered in fields that were being tended to by the farmers. The duo walked toward the road and saw a group of adventurers passing by.

Three men and two women that looked to be a few years older than them. Nala looked at Halime. "They will invite us to join them. Should we use them as cover to get into the city?"

"No. They will assume something, and I don't want to be near another man," the snake girl answered as they stepped on the road.

While walking, a voice was heard from behind them: "Hello, ladies. Do you happen to be adventurers? If so, would you like to join our party?"

The duo stopped walking, and Nala replied, "Yes, we are, but we're not interested in joining; we are only here to meet our sisters in the city."

That's when the man smiled as the others in his party joined. He stepped forward and introduced himself, "I'm Ronan, the blonde is Gavin, and the short man is Heldric."

Nala and Halime didn't reply until a redheaded woman stepped forward and said, "Sorry about them girls. They are brutish but kind at heart. I'm Sierra, and this is my best friend, Lucy."

"I'm Lara, and this is Sasha," Nala replied with fake names.

Sierra smiled, "Would you like to join us on the road to the city? Many monsters lurk in the forest and attack travelers."

The two girls internally laughed at the woman as Nala nodded, "Sounds good."

Following that, they started speaking with the two women while the men started glancing back, which annoyed the two girls. While walking, Lucy turned to Halime and asked, "Why are you covering your face?"

"Because that's what I choose to do," the snake girl answered.

"I bet you're a runaway slave or criminal," the brunette woman accused. "If you've got nothing to hide, show your face."

Halime sighed while Nala giggled, "I told you people will think it's strange. You're not in Nagendra anymore."'

After that, she removed the scarf and freed her short black hair. When Halime did this, the adventure party was shocked as Lucy spoke, "No wonder you hide your face; you're gorgeous just like Lara."

Nala beamed, but Halime huffed before putting the scarf back on. The group went silent before reaching the line into the east gate. While standing there, Ronan and Gavin approached them with lewd smiles.

Ronan, a mountain of a man, spoke to the lioness with a confident smirk, "Would you girls like to come for a drink when we get into the city? I know a good tavern we could have a good time in?"

When Nala heard this, her tail straightened as she pushed Ronan away from her before rejecting the man, "No. We will not be joining you and your weird harem, where the men share their women, which is disgusting. We are loyal to our husband, so scrub any thoughts of us out of your mind, or I will do it for you."

The other two men's disguises slipped, and the lust in their eyes appeared. Nala knew what was about to be happy, but that's when Sierra stepped forward with anger in her eyes, "Don't you dare speak to our men like that bitch."

The lioness giggled before speaking as excitement built up, "Do you think Ella will scold us if we kick things off early, Hali?"

"I'm certain she will complain, but I hate the way these humans are staring at us," Halime said while removing her scarf once again and letting out a scream that sent the five adventurers to their knees.

Nala and Halime retreated as the surrounding crowd watched with growing tension. Without hesitation, Halime cast Poison Bomb, which exploded amid the group. Lucy managed to block most of it, but Gavin was not as fortunate.

The poison melted him into sludge, causing Sierra to scream in pain and heartbreak as some of the toxic substances hit her. When this happened, Nala transformed into her Primal form and attacked the remaining adventurers.

Halime noticed Novgorodian soldiers rushing in their direction. So, she cast a dozen Poison Bombs and sent the projectiles slicing through the air until toxic explosions alerted the whole city to their presence.

She then transformed into her Black Mamba form and crushed a nearby group of soldiers before firing a stream of poison onto the city gate. The poison burned every enemy it touched and even melted the stone.

While she did this, Nala rushed into and scaled the wall and swiped the cannons straight off the wall, which sent them crashing into the city. That's when Halime crashed into the gate and brought it down before lashing out with her giant tail and crushing a group of cavalrymen.

As the two girls fought their way into the city, someone dodged one of Nala's attacks before punching the lioness. She was sent smashing through many buildings, causing Halime to look in the newcomer's direction.

Three men wearing white church robes floated in the air, and their aura crashed into her body, causing her and Nala to return to their humanoid forms. However, it vanished when a lone woman appeared above them.

She had long grey hair and glowing red eyes that shone with power. While watching the new scene, Nala rushed over to Halime, and the woman appeared in front of them smiling: "He does have good taste. I am Catherine Volkovitch. Continue with your mission, and I'll make it look like you escape by using magic, but you must run now."'

The two girls nodded before darting toward a nearby alleyway that led to the square where Ella and Sofia were just as an explosion rang out, causing a dust cloud to conceal their escape. freewёbnoνel.com

While running, they slipped on their disguise rings and vanished into the crowd just as soldiers appeared from where they had come. Nala and Halime quickly adopted the guise of panicked tourists.

Soon, they reached the city square and spotted the two girls sitting there. Nala grabbed Halime's arm and hurried over to them. As they approached, they dropped their disguises, revealing their normal forms, which startled the half-elf and druid girl.

"Nala! Halime, what happened?" Ella asked while checking on the two.

The lioness explained everything while Sofia gave them some desserts, which Halime happily

accepted.

[Aisha & Fianna's POV]

Fianna had been tending to Archer since the girls had been busy defending the kingdom against the Swarm invasion. One morning, when they received a message that Ella and the others were about to get the last ingredient, something happened.

She had been washing his body until a white light radiated from his body, blinding her, but then a cacoon covered him and sucked Fianna into it, leaving a small hole that led to his body for the potion he needed.

When Aisha discovered the two encased in a white crystal-like substance, she ordered the

White Dragons to move it outside. As they did this, Meera questioned, "Why are you moving the king and Fianna? Why is she even in there?"

"I assume it's because he likes her," Aisha revealed. "Miss Fianna adores the king; she's been tending to him like a worried wife."

They walked down the palace's corridors until reaching the garden where the sun shone above. Aisha continued, "He will transform if this is what I think it is."

Meera glanced at her, expecting her to elaborate, but Aisha kept walking. Finally, the tiger woman asked, "What is it?"

"He's finally become a Demi-God thanks to all the killing the girls have been doing," Aisha

revealed.

"Wouldn't he need to kill millions, if not billions, of monsters to reach that rank?" Meera asked. "I remember him mentioning that during one of our meetings."

Aisha nodded, held up a bracelet, and faced the white-haired woman. She moved her kaftan to the side, revealing a glowing dragon tattoo. "Goddess Tiamat tweaked the White Dragon tattoo so that the experience we earn goes straight to Archer through this," she explained. As she finished speaking, the knights dropped the cocoon in the garden's center and began locking down the area. Aisha continued, "Mary, Brooke, and the others have been fighting non-stop for days. The Titans have killed so many sea monsters that Lucrezia believes the Underrealm will be empty for years."

"Yeah, that makes sense; those women are crazy," Meera said with a shiver. "All I see is them flying between here and wherever the monsters appear."

"They are fighting hard. Did you know Nefertiti, Hemera, and Hecate held back a Swarm that

managed to breach the seawall? If it weren't for them, the nearby settlements would have been destroyed," Aisha informed the tiger woman.
