Chapter 407 - 406: No Time to Rest
Going back to before the battle between Solwyn and Ephraim started.
In the dimensional room, Reena and Amber were safe from the panther-like voidling. It had tried to claw its way back inside, but all it caused were ripples across the dimensional surface.
"Ha! Take that, you lousy animal!" Reena gloated, even doing a little celebration dance, which would have likely enraged the voidling if it could see or hear her.
Amber took this moment to sit down on the floor and rest. Though the fight had been short lived, she’d used a lot of mana just to keep the creature restrained. Normally she would’ve used potions to maintain her energy, but that wasn’t viable here.
"Haha! Hope I never see you again!" Reena waved off the voidling as it gave up and drifted away, rejoining a pack of others not far in the distance. With her job done, she walked over to Amber and plopped down beside her.
Reena let out a long exhale and turned to her with a smile. "Nice job! You did amazing holding it back."
Amber gave a simple nod. "Good plan. And kick."
"Heh, it was nothing. Maybe I should’ve become a martial artist." Reena joked, flexing her arms. Unfortunately for her, while her strength stat was high, her body didn’t reflect it. Her clearly untrained muscles barely showed. While raising her strength attribute did increase her power, it didn’t change her appearance much. And thanks to her extremely high vitality, building visible muscle would require a far more strenuous exercise regime than a normal person’s which she couldn’t be bothered to do.
As she kept trying to flex what little muscle she had, Reena looked at Amber and suddenly realized, ’Wait! Why am I being so chummy with a human?!’
Because of everything that had happened, she had almost forgotten who she was with.
Immediately, she scooted a few feet away from Amber, a cautious look in her eyes.
