Chapter 19: The Cruel World
The Amazon region didn't actually come under any Empire and was situated at the border of the Selero Empire. It also bordered the Mana-less rift and all the people lived in the dense and vast rainforest.
That region was chaotic and dangerous due to the presence of Mana-less rifts. But that also meant that the civilisation surviving there was indeed very strong.
These women were the same and they valued strength above everything. Being protected by others was a sign of weakness that nobody from Amazon liked.
So, Charlotte's words made them see Max's group in a new light and they also gained some respect. It was a good start.
"Good! Only your strength can save yourself," Athena said, clearly pleased with their group as she smiled widely.
She then took out a stone and said, "Use this and as long as we're in range, it will point you in our direction."
"Thanks!"
Max and the others thanked them as they watched them leave. Their group was made up of almost twenty-five women, which seemed a little intimidating.
"Dummy, why are we taking them to the Blood Castle too?" Stelle asked, confused about everything.
"To create chaos, of course," Max smiled. "We need everyone busy so that we can sneak inside the castle. The more groups there are for the Boss, the better for us."
"Oh! I see, that's a good plan," Stelle nodded. "Let's go hunting then."
