Chapter 6

Still sitting on her bed, Aurora gathered her spirit for the difficult task that she had to do for her revenge. She gave herself a small pep talk, went to the room of Alea, the bully. Aurora nervously knocked on the door.

Who is there? Aurora could hear her cursed voice through the door. She had goosebumps all over her body. Alea and the rest never abused Aurora physically. In those four years, Alea, Jaartheal, and Zarul just used her like a dog. She had to be the shield in narrow passages, then right after, she had to patrol almost all night. The next day she had started all over again.

It was physically and mentally challenging to go through all that.

"It's me. Aurora, I am back!''

After hearing that, Alea opened the door and invited her inside.

You took your sweet time to come back, Aurori. Did you find the treasure? I was getting bored staying in this village all the time.''

''Yes, Alea, I found the gold coins, ancient gold coins! Mountains of it! The treasury was full of old magic weapons, ores, etc.''She said that with so much enthusiasm that you would think that she was still swimming in the gold pieces.''

''Ohh, Really?''

''I will call the others, you wait here. '

Aurora was hoping that her bluff worked.: I may have overplayed; I usually never show a smile around them. She didn't look suspicious tho. Ten minutes later, Jaartheal and Zarul enter the room first, followed by Alea.

''Aurora, I just heard from Alea that you found the treasure in the old castle. Did you bring proof of this? Said Zarul with a voice

She took out the gold pieces and gave it to him. You could see the sparkles in Zarul's eyes.

''Those are Celestial Riyal coins; they are worth millions!

You only took this small bag! Tell me they are more coins.'' you could see the greed in his eyes.

Jaartheal and Alea looked at each other with a strange face. They never saw Zarul with this kind of expression. He is usually alone and doesn't speak that much, just like a lone wolf.

Aurora saw the greed in Zarul's eyes; she knew that she got his attention and that he would go to the palace at every cost.

Alea was still suspicious, but she had now little choice than to go there since she thought that Zarul was the tank of the second-highest in level after Aurora. Zarul was actually a level 55 beast knight. He was more powerful than Aurora. Aurora also didn't know Zarul was always training in his spare time; that is why you could never see him with the others.

With a feral howl, Zarul said;

''We need to go there with this much money I can finally achieve my goals.''

Alea wanting to keep face as the leader of the party, and she replied:

''Yes, of course, but we are going tomorrow. We need to make a plan. It is still one of the most dangerous places for rank e. ''

Zarul was clearly disappointed. He just asked that they called him when they were ready.

Alea was relieved that the wolfman listened, turned to Jaartheal, and said to him."

'' Come, we need to prepare everything for tomorrow. If we don't want to die.''

Jaartheal just followed her, wondering if it was the correct choice to go there.

Aurora, satisfied that her plan more or less worked, decided to go back to her old room to escape further questions.

Meanwhile, Claudius went to see the bar owner Nita and asked her to not reveal anything from yesterday. The young man directly entered the forest and used the spell to find life to look for the less dangerous way for the adventurer party. Claudius was bored and decided to sing an old song in his native language. But with all the singing, he attracted magical creatures, a group of Evil bats attacked him when he was in sight. Not batting an eye, Claudius just cast a fireball to kill them all and continued his way to the castle while marking the trees.

Back on his throne, He decided to check his status since he received a few notifications.

''It looks like it is easier to use basic elemental magic with the help of the world system.

You just need to let the world guide you. You could easily get addicted to this sensation of quickly getting stronger. Mmm, if I try to use magic without the system, what would it do.''

After saying those words, Claudius started using essence magic to create a life from the plants and monsters leftovers that he collected on the way back.

He began to recite an incantation: the plants and carcasses started to melt in gold light.

From a small blob of gold light, a humanlike form started to emerge from it. Not long after, a little essence spirit was kneeling in front of him.

''Master, what are your orders?' the small spirit had a cute voice.

''I need you to clean this place. It is really filthy here.'' without saying anything else, Claudius falls asleep on his throne in the same position that Aurora found him.

''If that is your wish.'' The small creature directly started cleaning and repairing the rooms of the castle while Claudius was sleeping.

The next day Aurora woke up in her room from the sound of someone clopping on it.

''Who is this? '' While she said this, she prepared herself to defend herself.

Girl, it's me, Zarul.open the door! I need to speak to you.''

Aurora found it strange that Zarul came to see her in the trio. He was the only one who was decent to her. He usually only spoke with Jaartheal and was quite distant from Alea, but he never talked to her.

She decides to open the door; otherwise, it would be suspicious. She quickly put her armor on and walked to the door. After she opened it, Zarul rushed inside with a knife and promptly put it on her throat, pushing her back to her room. Surprised by the sudden attack of her teammate, she lost grip on her dagger.

"Aurora, you may think that we are idiot, but I can recognize a liar when I smell one.''

You want to trick us, right otherwise, you would never be, so enthusiast telling her this treasure.''

Aurora didn't know what to say her plan was discovered and her life was in his hands, she decided to close her eyes and wait for her imminent death. But after a few moments, nothing happened, surprised that she was not in the afterlife, she slowly opened her eyes. She Saw Zarul with a feral smile looking at her.'' But I don't really care. If you swear that you will not kill me with your strong trump card. I suppose. That you have one if you were so confident of eliminating us in the castle.''

Aurora was utterly shaken by the revelation that Zarul knew almost everything.

Let's assume that I do have that plan'.

''Cut the crap, young lady!''

''This trump card of your removed the contract on your soul..''

She didn't know what to say anymore.''

Look, I am allowing you to survive, and what I hope to become wealthy too. The treasure is also real, right.

Zarul was completely serious at this moment; you could feel the icy killing intent.

She quickly replied: " I don't know, but he had a bag full of those coins, and I can ask for it."

Content with the answer, he just nodded and said,

'' I will stay quiet. I hope that I can trust your words.''

After saying that, he exited the room.
