Aria's ability
Chapter 27

(An: The chapter update is late because I got sleepy and oversleep for six hours)

Aria is calmly staring at the spirit beast horde, but we can see a lack of appreciation in her eyes.
''They're not strong enough,'' Aria muttered while pointing her spear toward the spirit beasts.
''Master said to kill all of you,'' She added.
''Hmm,'' Aria humming as she dashes through the horde while swaying her spear a few times.
[Ding!]
[Aria have killed a purple-eyed leopard]
[Aria have killed a golden-horned rhino]
[Aria have killed a fire ape]
[Aria have killed a poisonous bee]
[Aria have killed a wind tiger]
[Aria has killed...]
''Okay, that's a lot...'' Lin Feng muttered while staring at Aria, annihilating the spirit beast horde with her spear.
"She's strong," he added with a nod.
(But, it seems I underestimate her battle prowess) Lin Feng thought as Aria kicking a bear head and launching it to another spirit beast.
[Aria has killed an iron-clad bear]
*Crack!*
Aria stomped her leg into the ground as energy start gathering on her entire left arm and spear.
''Burst!'' Aria said while striking out her spear into a group of yellow snakes.
Her attack landed perfectly on the group and creating a small blast!
*Boom!*
[Aria have killed yellow snake]
[Aria have killed yellow snake]
[Aria has killed...]
''W-What!''
''Is this the strength of cold-maid goddess!''
''She is more powerful than the rumor said!''
''What do you mean, of course, it's only a rumor,''
''You seeing the real one here!''
''Cold-maid goddess,'' the group leader muttered while looking at Aria, who is decapitating the body of a black scaled turtle with just a swing of her spear.
In these three weeks, there are rumors about a beautiful maid wearing a veil and a child wearing a wolf skull mask, which brings out a wonder to the soul masters in the spirit hunting forest.
The rumors said that the maid keeps bringing her master to train inside the spirit hunting forest, and someone had been followed them only to be greeted by a sharp spear on his neck.
The guards don't even dare to attack this maid as she is too powerful, and by her sheer pressure, she can make them kneeling on the ground.
No one knows who they are, and from where they come as they're wearing wolf skull masks and veils!
''There is a rumor about the cold maid goddess being a spirit king, but no one ever sees her spirit rings or even activating her martial soul,'' the group leader's eyes widened.
(Martial soul, huh) Lin Feng thought as he heard the words from the group leader.
''Is it possible, Grey?''
[Affirmative!]
[It is possible, Host]
[But, she can't awaken her martial soul like a typical people in this world as she is your summons and a homunculus]
[After your bonds with your summons reach 100%, they will able to awakening their power as in Aria case, her martial soul and unique ability]
''Hmm, Aria's bond is already ninety percent...'' Lin Feng muttered as he heard Grey's explanation.
[Aria's bond: 95%]
''Um, isn't her bond with me increasing too fast?'' Lin Feng is feeling a little skeptical.
''What about Kro's bond?''
[Kro's bond: 85%]
''Eighty-five percent from seventy-seven percent,'' Lin Feng muttered.
''Kro's bond is increasing in fast speed, but Aria's a little abnormal,''
[Yes, Host]
[Usually after ninety percent, a bond will be hard to increase]
[As ninety percent is indicating the summons willing to sacrifice themself for their master without any hesitation with their own will]
''Aria...'' Lin Feng muttered while looking at his battle maid with a happy and complicated feeling.
[You have received one rare summoning scroll pieces(1/50)]
[You have received one epic summoning scroll pieces(10/100)
''Um, okay,'' Lin Feng dazed for a second as he doesn't expect to get summoning scroll pieces in this kind of situation.
*Bam!*
Aria's leg kicked another spirit beast, which ape spirit beast, and instantly killing it as she destroyed its neck.
*Crack!*
[Aria has killed a red ape]
Yellow and purple spirit rings floating around the battlefield as Aria standing on top of spirit beast corpses with a spear on her hand like a goddess of war.
''Beautiful...'' muttered one of the spirit beast hunting team's members with a dumbfounded expression.
''Cold goddess...''
''She's so beautiful, even though we can't see her face.''
Aria's calmly staring at the remaining spirit beast, and they're scared by her gaze and running away from her.
''Aria!'' Lin Feng said with a wry smile, ''Stop, you don't need to chase them.''
[Ding]
[You have finished the quest]
[Calculating reward...]
[Rewarding nine common summoning scrolls and the record of spirit beast(pieces)]
''Hmm, not bad...'' Lin Feng muttered while jumping out from tree branches and landed in front of the group.
''So, what we do have here...'' He added as he is eyeing every member of the spirit beast hunting team.
''Wolf-masked young master, Thank you,'' the group leader bowed.
''Err, okay...'' Lin Feng responded.
''Why are you getting chased by spirit beast horde,'' Lin Feng asked with a smile on his face.
''This...'' the leader muttered with a little unsure want tell regarding it or not.
But, after being saved by Aria, he could only shake his head and opened his mouth.
''Actually...''
''We meet a powerful seven thousand years spirit beast near the core area of the spirit beast hunting forest.''
''It was a mysterious turtle with a greenish shell and could control water around its body.''
''We actually never want to get closed to this spirit beast as we are too weak.''
''But, we found this in its nest!'' the leader said while taking a white lotus with purple veins on its stem.
[Ding]
[Name: Cleansing white lotus]
[Type: Medicinal herb]
[Grade: Rare(low)]
[Description: a rare medicinal herb with the ability to cleansing one body from impurities and increase own spirit energy]
(Huh, a rare medicinal herb?) Lin Feng thought while tilting his head, and a light bulb appears over his head.
''This medicinal herb...'' Lin Feng muttered with a frown.
''Do you know this herb's name or effect?'' He asked while trying to get more information about cleansing white lotus, even though he already knows its effect.
''No,'' the leader shaking his head.
''We dare take it because one of our team members can sense powerful medicinal and spirit energy on it.''
''So we could sell it at a high price,''
''Oh, you want to sell it!" Lin Feng said with a fake surprised tone!
''Even though you don't know this herb effect?"
''Hmm?''
''What if you sell it to me?'' Lin Feng proposed.
''Are you sure?'' the leader frowned, ''we really don't know this herb effect!''
''Mm, I'm sure...''
''How much?'' Lin Feng stated as he is ready to take gold coins from his inventory while stuffing his hand into his pocket.
''Err...'' the leader is a little hesitant, but remembering that they need money.
He then said, ''three hundred gold coins!''
He is already thinking about the danger they've been through for getting this lotus and after remembering that they need money. He steeled himself.
''three hundred gold coins?''
''Isn't that price a little high for unknown herb?'' Lin Feng frowned with a fake angry tone.
''one hundred coins!''
''two hundred coins!'' the leader said while shaking his head.
''Hmm, one hundred and twenty!'' Lin Feng said.
(I actually can rob the lotus with Aria or Kro's help, but I don't really want to make hassle for myself as the wolf-masked young master is enough!) Lin Feng thought with a wry smile.
Lin Feng also doesn't want to kill them as Aria's already saving and massacring spirit beast for them.
''Master...'' Aria approach Lin Feng as she glared at the leader!
''one hundred and seventy-five!'' the leader said while feeling invisible pressure from Aria's eyes.
''one hundred and forty!'' Lin Feng counter with lower prices!
''one hundred and fifty!'' the leader shouted!
''Deal!'' Lin Feng said while taking a bag from his inventory, which he opened from his pocket.
''Here!'' He added while throwing a bag full of golden coins.
(Kuh, if cold maid goddess not here, I can make the price higher) the leader thought while sighing, but he got 150 gold coins, which more expensive than the original price they set for this lotus.
''My lotus?'' Lin Feng said while opening his palm.
''Ah, here,'' the leader replied while giving Lin Feng the cleansing white lotus.
''Hmm, good.''
''Okay then, goodbye!'' the leader said while giving a few gestures to his members.
''Wait...'' Aria said while approaching the spirit beast hunting team.
''If someone knows what happened here and giving Master a problem!''
''I will chase and kill all of you first, even though I need to go to hell!'' Aria said while giving them a cold glare.
''And no one will be able to found your body!'' She added as the final words, which gave them goosebump.
''We understand!'' the leader said while nodding his head, and his members also do the same!
''Mm, good!'' Aria nodded.
The spirit hunting beast team walked away from the spirit hunting forest as their body shivering from the coldness of Aria's warning.
