Chapter 153

Lane Turner. 

Right now, she was training the participants from her guild. Almost all of the participants were older than her but she didn't show any fear, and she didn't show any respect too. She was stronger than them anyway, even if they combined their powers, Lane would still win. 

Since the higher-ups from her guild forced her to train them, she decided to show these people hell. She won't follow their way, she had her own path. 

"Those greedy bastards thought that they can order me around just because they have money. Hmmp! "

Truth be told, she could resign, she was just lazy to do it. After all, she would have to sign many papers and contracts, then the court too… It was too much of a hassle, Lane disliked waiting. 

"Are you ready?"

She asked her guild member, although she didn't care if they were ready or not. 

The members clenched their weapons and fists. They knew that Lane Turner was a woman who won't hold back. They were afraid that maybe one of their arms or legs would be sliced again. This is not a training, this is a torture, an execution, and they were the people waiting in line. 

"Then let's start this."

The training floor cracked and four trees had risen, the trunks and vines extended and charged at them. They began whipping their asses.

The Hunters defended the attacks but little by little, they were forced to step back and lose. The strength of the vines was so strong, that they would be injured if they were hit. Most of them broke their bones because of being careless. 

Lane yawned watching them, she was bored. These people were weak, they couldn't even defend themselves well.b

These people didn't have the experience, the experience of being close to death. These people consisted of those who awakened their powers in Awakening or by taking a Skill Book. Either way, they were still weak, the Hunters that survived the Punishment as of now were so boring. Compared to the earliest batch, they were chicklings. And this Guild didn't even found any talented man. Even the Rank One of the recent batch died, he didn't even have a chance to eat the Evolution Stones because of being hunted. 

Anyway, Lane didn't care about these people, if they win so what? and if they lose okay? She didn't care about what outcome would happen. 

Her mind was thinking about the past when she faced the two brothers, she remembered that they were part of the family but that thing ended. That family ended years ago. Lane was alone now, her parents were dead, they died when the Redemption's enemies took revenge on their weak families. Miriam's father died because of that reason too, even her brother was still missing.

"Tch!"

Lane became furious and went rampage at the participants.

She reminisced about the past, they had miserable times but they had fun times too. However, when Mikael was cursed, that was the start when everything became fucked up. 

Klein and Niña were the most affected at that time. Klein became a little bit suicidal while Niña found happiness torturing monsters, especially reptiles. 

Still, for Lane, what happened in the past was part of her life. She suffered but she met her family too, she was happy being together with them. Her parents died but she still had them so she didn't feel lonely. 

But that family was slowly crumbling after the incident in Colombia. 

She almost died at that time, even now the memories of that incident were ingrained inside her. The image of a humanoid creature who had horns and pierced her heart. Lane was enraged, she wanted to kill that bastard no matter what. If she met the Shadow Demon again, she would end his life.

Many things changed after that, her family felt that they were the reason why Lane almost died. They blame themselves for being weak because they couldn't protect the youngest of the family. After that, Lane was always left alone if there was a dangerous mission. Lane didn't like it, she wanted to help them, her heart ached when she felt that her existence was being declined. She was a Hunter, her place was on the battlefield, in the Dungeon. Because of the incident in Colombia, things started to change just like the relationship between Miriam and Kyle.

Miriam and Kyle changed after the incident too, Lane starting to feel that Miriam was getting close with Kyle.

At first, she was happy to see them together but one day, she heard her sister crying… Lane blacked out after that, all she remembered was that she destroyed half of the fortress. 

Their relationship completely ended after that and they separated after, Lane still had a grudge. She decided to enter another guild, she wanted to fight and become stronger. She didn't want to be protected, even now she was still not talking to them. 

'Mikael, how will you feel if you know that Kyle threatened your lover to kill the Princess?'

She smirked finding that question entertaining. She wanted to know what expression would Mikael make. She was the one who sent the letter to Mikael when he was in Africa. Lane felt betrayed and she wanted Mikael to feel the same too. 

"Aaarrrggghhhh!"

One of the members lost his arm, he was screaming on the floor crying like a loser. 

Lane kicked her tongue watching these weaklings, she experienced far more gruesome things but these people were crying just by little wounds. 

'How pathetic!'

She thought. 

The trees moved faster, the branches and vines transformed into sharp claws and slashed them. 

This was just a portion of her power, she could kill these people in just a few seconds if she wanted to. 

"Arf!"

The cute puppy cried out when he saw that his master was sad. Lane smiled when she witnessed Choco wagging his tail, she kneeled and pet him. The dog licked her cheek and Lane giggled. 

This lovely scene happened while the surrounding was full of cries of people who were asking for help. 

.........

......

...

A woman with long ears was excited about the tournament, not because of the battle but because of another reason, she wanted to see him. 

Her vision showed in her that this would be their first meeting. She would meet him in the statue on the mountain. Her heart was pounding so much strong that it almost came out of her mouth. 

The Second Princess of Elves was here. Princess Delabelle Zuri y Angsalvor delightedly smiled, excited to meet Mikael, she knew that Mikael had two other women from the start. She didn't care about them, after all, she knew Mikael more than they knew him. 

From the moment Belle awakened her vision, she saw the cute little baby Mikael. She watched him from the moment he was born in this world up until the present, she saw his whole life, her ruby necklace shone. 

(The third heroine is here... You can curse me all you want. You can rate this one-star if you want. You can give a shitty but on-point review if want.)
