Chapter 132: First Direct Battle?
Alicia's tears started to leak just from the idea of not doing those things with her little brother as he had promised her. She felt betrayed; however, she also knew she was the reason for this to happen. She wanted to accept the punishment, but she didn't think she could do it.
'No, I can't live without his even for a single day; this is the worst thing that could ever happen to me.'
Aiden had known for a few days that his big sis was addicted to being with him in that way, but seeing how she started to cry tears just because he told her he wouldn't be sleeping with her today made him realize she was even more addicted than he had thought.
'I don't know if I should feel good about this or bad.'
He also enjoyed spending those nights together with his big sis. Seeing how intense her reaction was, he decided to forgive her and not punish her. He spoke in a calm voice, finding it amusing how she started tearing up just because of this.
"Big sis, I can see you really are sorry, so I can forgive you this time. There is no punishment for you."
Alicia, understanding the meaning of his words, quickly wiped her tears and tightly clutched his hands with hers, whispering as she realized her earlier mistake.
"So that means we are going to do it today too, Aiden?"
"Yes," Aiden replied, seeing how serious she was asking.
The expression on her beautiful face became one of comfort and relief as she finally confirmed this. But then she heard her little brother as he handed her a black pouch.
"There are red cores inside the pouch. By absorbing them, you can increase either Strength, Stamina, or Agility, just like I told you. There were two other kinds, but those were finished after I used them, so use these to increase your strength."
Alicia happily took the pouch from him, excited to use them from the first time she had seen her brother using them.
Feeling the things inside the pouch with her hands, Alicia could tell there were so many of them inside, at least 30 or even more according to her. She asked him as she wanted him to get stronger first.
"Aiden, are you not going to use these? Are all of these for me to use? I think you should use them first; I can take the ones after this."
Aiden, hearing her words, patted her head and said to her in a calm voice.
"Don't worry about me; all my stats are already two digits, so I am much stronger than you."
Alicia, hearing his words, felt surprised as her status screen showed that the stats wouldn't increase after reaching 10, and she didn't know what to do afterward. However, it still surprised her how her brother's stats were maxed out.
Now, knowing her brother didn't need these, she started absorbing the stones just like he said and feeling herself becoming stronger and stronger with each stone surprised her with how magical this feeling of getting stronger was.
After some time, her stats maxed out at 10 for all three of them. She realized why her brother said he was much stronger, as she now felt like she could do anything. With excitement, she asked him: Latest updates from m _vlempyr.
"Aiden, are we going to fight the zombies with the sword next time? I really want to test my strength on them."
Aiden replied to her with the same excitement. "Yeah, I am going to fight them head-on, and you can also fight them, but be careful and only take one at a time."
Aiden knew his sister was stronger than she looked as she had also trained with him, and after reaching the limit, he could say she could handle one or two zombies easily.
He also wanted to get used to fighting monsters as soon as possible, and using the ten ladies for protection with modern weapons while they fought with swords was a perfect scenario for them to learn.
Without waiting any longer, he called out to Ava, who arrived in front of him, and he said with a better expression on his face than before.
"Make the preparations; we are going to hunt the zombies once again."
"Yes, leader!" She was about to go, but Aiden stopped her as he remembered something.
"You take these remaining red cores to use for yourself." Saying this, he explained to her how to use them, as he didn't have any use for red cores for the time being. He decided to max all their stats after his big sis, so they could hunt more efficiently.
Now his big sis doesn't need the red cores so decided to give them to Ava.
For Ava, these red cores changed many things, as she was naturally weaker than everyone else. While she may not be a fighting genius, she was still good with knives. However, due to her being physically weaker than even some girls in her squad, she was always at her lowest in terms of fighting.
She didn't reject his reward and took the stones with a serious expression on her face.
"Thank you, leader. I will do even better than before."
Aiden could see how serious she was; it seemed these six stones meant more to her than he could imagine, as he remembered her pitiful stats. He now understood why she was so worked up.
"Okay, now go make the preparations. This time, you guys only cover us; my sister and I are going to fight using swords."
Ava was about to refuse, saying sorry. However, before she could say anything, she heard his commanding, resolute voice.
"I know what I am doing, so you should make the preparations. I'm not a fool to fight them without having confidence."
Seeing how confident her leader was, Ava decided to follow his order and gave him a nod in response. However, she decided that even if it looked like the leader was at a little disadvantage, they would intervene.
'I have to be on high alert.'
Preparations were made, and everyone took their positions. Aiden and Alicia could be seen at the forefront in their black metallic armor, holding black swords made of carbon nanotubes, with fierce expressions on their faces, ready to fight.
The aura around both of them had changed as they took their stances, and now the large metallic gate started to open once again slowly as the sound of zombies' roars came continuously.
Argh Grrgh
The distance between them and the gate was only five meters, and now Aiden was waiting for the zombies to come inside. The thought of protecting his sister if the need arose crossed his mind, as he knew he was many times stronger than her after breaking the limit of stats. More importantly, he was also excited to use lightning magic like his big sis.
He knew his mana was five times more potent than hers, and even the quantity was greater, so he knew he could cast many spells without a problem.
'I can't wait to fight them.'
