064 RESCUED BY SURFING WOMEN

The serpent bore down on them, its massive jaws opening wide, when suddenly, a volley of shimmering magical spears rained from above. The spears pierced the creature's scales, sinking deep and forcing it to recoil in pain.

The serpent thrashed, its screeches echoing across the stormy waters, as more spears struck its thick hide. From the chaos, a group of women on sleek, enchanted boards appeared, gliding effortlessly over the waves. Their movements were fluid and precise, each spear they launched finding its mark with deadly accuracy.

"Are those... surfing warrior women?" Leo exclaimed, blinking in disbelief.

Letcha's face turned an alarming shade of pale. "Oh no... not them again!" he groaned, clutching the plank tighter.

Leo glanced at him, confused. "Who are these fucking women? And why are you whining? They're saving our asses!"

Letcha grimaced, eyes darting nervously between the approaching women and the thrashing serpent. "They're the ones who cursed me!"

Leo threw up his hands. "Of course they are. Seems like everyone around here wants your fucking meat!"

The women closed in on the snake.

With graceful, practiced leaps, they landed on the snake's back, gripping the spears still lodged in its scaly flesh. Chanting in unison, they cast a series of enchantments. The air shimmered with soft blue light, and the serpent's furious thrashing slowed. Its eyes grew heavy, its movements sluggish, until it finally collapsed into the water, lulled into a deep, enchanted slumber.

With practiced efficiency, the women towed the massive creature back to shore.

As Leo and Letcha struggled to stay afloat, two of the women turned their attention to the pair.

"We found these two drifting by the river," one of them said, her voice cold and clipped.

"Not this fucking turtle rat again!" Another woman pushed forward, her eyes narrowing as she recognized Letcha. "What are you doing back here, you filthy rat? We told you to stay the fuck away, forever!"

Letcha raised his hands defensively, sputtering, "Princess Bara, I swear, I didn't want to come back! The snake chased me all the way here!"

Princess Bara's gaze shifted to Leo, who was still trying to catch his breath. "And who's this good looking one?"

"Uh, hi," Leo said, giving a half-hearted wave. "Name's Lilleo Gullee..."

Princess Bara's eyes narrowed, unimpressed. "Cover them."

Before they could react, the women surrounded Leo and Letcha, wrapping them tightly in thick, enchanted folds. Struggling against the bindings, they were quickly tied to sturdy poles.

"What the fuck are these ropes?!" Leo shouted, thrashing against the restraints.

The enchanted bindings bit into his wrists and ankles, refusing to yield no matter how hard he struggled. These ropes weren't just ordinary restraints—they were magical.

Leo could see the raw power radiating from these women through their box markers. They were far stronger than Kasshyek's men. They weren't just formidable fighters—they were master sorceresses, each at least at the early tier of Cakra Svad.

Together, they were an unstoppable force.

With their synchronized spells, they could bring down creatures far above their own magical tier, using group magic that amplified their individual strengths into a devastating, collective power.

Leo could see now why Letcha feared them more than the snake.

"Bring them back for the ritual," Princess Bara said with a sly smile.

The women lifted the poles effortlessly, carrying both the bound men and the slumbering snake deeper into the forest beyond the river's edge.

Leo and Letcha dangled upside down, bound tightly to poles, as the women carried them toward the roar of a waterfall. The magical ropes restraining them completely, making escape impossible.

"What the hell did you do to piss these fucking women off?" Leo hissed, wriggling against the unyielding bonds.

"Nothing!" Letcha protested. "They wanted me to move some giant rocks, and they promised me... well... their naked bodies as payment! But they're liars, unlike my Friend Forever," he added with a resentful scowl.

Leo shot him a skeptical look. "So, you got yourself cursed by the women?"

"Yes, and no," Letcha admitted. "Handling the rocks cursed me, but those women tricked me into moving them without compensation."

Leo groaned, trying to make sense of it all. "And where exactly are they taking us?"

Letcha hesitated, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Uh... maybe for a ritual game."

"What kind of ritual?" Leo asked, his unease growing.

"The Ritual of Truth," Letcha muttered.

As they were carried closer, a group of tall, muscular women stood bathing beneath the cascading waterfall, their powerful, toned bodies glistening in the mist. The moment they spotted Letcha, one of them called out with a mocking grin.

"Back again, you perverted rat? Didn't get enough punishment last time after peeking at us while we were bathing?"

Leo turned to Letcha, incredulous. "Wait, so you're a peeper too? That's why they cursed you?!"

"No, no!" Letcha sputtered. "It wasn't them—it was the stones that cursed me! Not the women. They promised to let me watch them bathe for moving the rocks for them."

The truth was becoming all too clear. Letcha was caught peeking on the women.

Without warning, the women moved with lightning speed, splashing out of the waterfall without bothering to cover themselves. In an instant, they were upon the bound duo.

One of them, a fierce warrior with piercing eyes, grabbed Leo, trapping him in a vice-like grip. Another yanked Letcha by his tail, lifting him like a misbehaving child.

"What's all the commotion?" A commanding voice cut through the chaos as Princess Bara emerged from a nearby tent, her gaze cold and assessing.

"We're just playing with our catch," one of the women replied with a wicked smile.

"Why did you come back here, you disgusting little rat?" Princess Bara demanded, glaring at Letcha. "Here to spy on us again?"

"It wasn't my idea!" Letcha protested, pointing a trembling finger at Leo. "He made me bring him here!"

Leo's jaw dropped at the sudden betrayal. "Seriously, Letcha?"

But Letcha wasn't wrong. Leo indeed asked him to be his guide in this strange land.

"So, you're here to spy on us too?" Princess Bara asked, turning her fierce gaze on Leo.
