Chapter 1085 - 1088: Frustration
Using speech that she would normally not use, Navi was really tired.
She used to act as the young miss where manners were important.
But after living outside, Navi had long thrown those things to the back of her mind. Because she knew very well that it was no longer important.
Her life was both difficult and comfortable.
After all, a powerful magician no longer needed to eat and drink like ordinary people.
Sleeping could also be replaced with meditation at any moment.
She could also easily keep herself clean using the magic spell that allowed her to live outside without any worries.
The main problem of their living style is the fact that the magic beasts kept on chasing after them.
They could never truly be free.
It was frustrating.
"Navi, you..." Nalan looked at his cousin and gritted his teeth. "You should rest... I'll hold onto this."
Swish!
Mana and aura intertwined as Nalan looked at the magic beasts that poured out of the passage.
His body was hurting as the battle with the rank 10 magic beast was also beyond his capability. But he had to protect Navi because he knew that he was not capable of killing these magic beasts.
Navi was silent.
She sat on the ground while Nalan maintained the barrier.
"You say... why are we given this chance in the first place?" Navi asked.
Nalan didn't answer.
And it didn't seem that Navi actually wanted him to answer either.
She seemed to be absorbed in her own thoughts and just wanted to talk with someone for her last moment.
When she used that forbidden technique, Navi was only thinking of ending the battle as soon as possible. The price was her own life span and since she had already advanced to rank 9, her life span had long increased.
But...
To think that even after using such a move she still couldn't deal with a rank 10 magic beast...
Navi felt that her life was pathetic.
She claimed that she wanted to become strong, but her life has been turned into a mess. And now, she was being controlled in this place.
Whoever controlled their lives in the first place should have known that they were all people who were desperate to live.
"Why are people struggling to live?" Navi asked.
"Only by living could it be possible to see the future," Nalan said in the same calm and indifferent tone, holding off the magic beasts that wanted to reach them.
He was also tired, especially after the absolute shield was broken by the rank 10 magic beast in the battle before.
That was basically his best skill.
One that should have been able to block all kinds of attack, no matter what it is and whoever thrown it to him.
But reality gave him a rude awakening slap.
It was obvious that once the strength of the attack reached a certain limit, it was absolutely possible to destroy his shield and broke it apart.
Because of that, he and Navi were injured.
And Navi ended up having to use that forbidden skill that exchanged her lifespan with a strong attack power.
Yet...
That's not enough.
How come that rank 10 magic beast could be so powerful, Nalan didn't understand and the two of them truly felt that they were about to meet their end not long ago.
'Did I make the wrong decision to become a guardian warrior in the first place?' Nalan thought to himself.
He didn't understand whether he made the wrong decision or not.
What he knew is that his skills were not good enough as he had almost lose both his and Navi's life not long ago.
It was frustrating.
And Nalan was trying to calm down.
They were fighting against the magic beasts so hard but instead being able to kill it, Ami had to take away their fruits of labor and escaped on her own...
Just thinking about that woman made Nalan angry.
Who does she think she is?
Coming out to take advantage of them.
As they had expected, Ami is really shameless.
Not that they were not the same kind of people as Nalan knew that he would do the same thing should he be given the chance, but it wouldn't stop him to be disgusted by this kind of people.
In short, he disliked them.
"But is there any hope for us?" Navi asked slowly.
Nalan didn't answer.
From the beginning, neither Nalan nor Navi were optimistic about the Green Planet's prospect, especially after they knew the records of things that had happened in Afirer Kingdom back then.
The two of them never actually talked it out.
But they knew that the Green Planet should be heading towards its destruction sooner or later through the grand magic beasts' tide.
That's why they wanted to stay as far away as possible.
And when there's a chance, they would figure out a way to protect themselves, far away from the others.
Unfortunately, the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.
They ended up having to fight against the magic beasts at the frontline and couldn't retreat even if they wanted to.
Is it frustrating?
Yes, definitely.
And the two of them have been holding on for a long time.
But seeing that not only they were being forced by others to stay in this place, they were also being taken advantaged of...
Navi is pissed.
Yet at the same time, she was also desperate.
"Do you think it's possible for me to live if I choose to follow Ami into the passage?" Navi asked in a slow voice.
Follow Ami into the passage?
Nalan froze and silently looked at the passage before looking at Navi with the look of caring for the 'mental retarded' people.
"Haha... even if I want to, I don't want to go there," Navi muttered in a low voice.
Dying in the hands of these magic beasts without being able to fight back in the slightest bit... it was definitely not something that Navi would ever want in her life.
