Chapter 61: A Different Rasputin (2)
Silence, a strange breath of silence surrounded Rasputin and Ulysses. Cherie and Helen slept soundly in the Soundproofing Barrier. In this cave, there were only the heartbeats of Ulysses and Rasputin and the thunder from outside.
"Rasputin, since you are so afraid of storms, why don't you use a Soundproofing Barrier to block the sound of the storm? It is not difficult for you to use two Soundproofing Barriers at the same time, right?" Or Ulysses broke the inexplicable silence surrounding the two.
"That… that's because I don't want to lose. I don't want to live in the shadow of fear of the storm all my life, I want to overcome it! So even though I am terribly scared, I will never hide inside the Soundproofing Barrier to escape the sound of the storm. I believe that as long as I face the storm every time, instead of cowardly avoiding it, one day I will no longer be afraid of it." Rasputin said in a trembling and very determined tone.
"So that's the reason. You are really amazing, Rasputin. Facing the fear bravely instead of avoiding it. I don't think I can do it." Ulysses really admired Rasputin.
"It sounds like you are scared of something, but you are a seventh-level master, what can you possibly be scared of?" Rasputin's tone was full of curiosity.
"Uh, please don't laugh at me if I tell you. I... I am most afraid of Aunt Lana next door to my old house. Even until now, I am still scared whenever I think of her name." Ulysses hesitated. This name seemed like a nightmare to him.
"Who is she? Is she strong? Even a seventh-level master like you is afraid of her. Is she an eighth-level super powerful master?" Rasputin asked curiously.
"No, Aunt Lana doesn't know anything about martial arts or magic. Her daughter Laxia is much better than her. I remember Laxia was an excellent fourth-level swordsman when she was twelve years old." Ulysses was somewhat embarrassed when he said this.
"Then why are you afraid of her? The power you have is far above her." Rasputin was puzzled. Before she knew it, she had been attracted by Ulysses' words, temporarily forgot about the storm outside, and the trembling of her body slowly stopped.
