Chapter 591 Raydon and Serestia (part-1)

Two of those teenagers who faced bad luck were Raydon and Serestia. In fact, they might have the worst of luck, if seen through the lens of the secret guardians.

Both of them ended up together in the monster zone where rank-5 undead beasts roam. Adding on top of that, it is an open field of barren land with nowhere to hide.

"F**k that bastard" "Eek…"

Raydon and Serestia were quite surprised as they realized their situation. 

Usually, the soul realm of Azzy\'s undead beasts cannot be sensed due to the fact that they were merely skeletons. But, the bosses of the monster zones were quite special.

They retained their core due to the Reaper\'s special technique of merging their spirit core that was behind after their death with their skeleton in Azzy\'s mindscape.

It\'s just like with Hydra, the skeleton snow wolf, and the rank-8 skeleton spider. Retaining the core will let the others sense their realm. 

Since neither of them was willing to look for an escape, both of them summoned their Arcana to face whatever coming at them.

Until that moment the undead beasts acted as if they didn\'t see them. But, the moment Arcana spirits were out, the rank-4 and rank-5 beasts rushed at them. Combined, they were about 30 in number. 

"Take the altitude and attack from above. I will take care here." Raydon quickly formulated a battle strategy. 

However, he doesn\'t have a great relationship with Serestia and the latter has no intentions of teaming up with him, much less acting as a support.

Ignoring his instructions, she rushed forward. 

"Damn it," Raydon was slightly frustrated a little bit, but he followed her instead of taking care of the beasts around him.

Soon, the undead beasts came as near as 10 feet away. Raydon tightly gripped his dagger to attack.

It was at that moment the girl raised her left hand with her palm facing them. "Fu*k off…" She roared.

A gust of wind escaped her palm and struck all of them at the same time, blasting them away. The eight rank-4 beasts were destroyed in one move and rank-5 beasts had some of their limbs missing.

Raydon stared at her back in a daze. He couldn\'t help but remember the scene of their battle in Arcana festival, once again. 

Her injury is what etched in his mind so far, and now, after witnessing the blast of wind, he realized something important. "So, this is why she was absent from the school. She wasn\'t simply recuperating. She was training her attribute."

Serestia then turned around with a look of seriousness, bringing him back to reality, "Don\'t think I\'m the same as before. I don\'t fear competing with you anymore, Geller."

Raydon stayed silent. If it were said by others, his reaction would have been different, but he had this feeling of guilt for several weeks, ever since the Arcana festival was concluded.

During the battle against the Dragon Academy\'s duo, he didn\'t help her even when she asked for it. As a result, her soul orb was damaged and she was absent from the academy for three weeks.

Everyone thought that her mom might have found a way to heal her. Because of her background, even Raydon thought the same.

It was only now did he realized that this girl had gained from misfortune. However, that feeling of guilt still didn\'t disappear as she was looking at him with such hatred.

He decided to make it up to her somehow. Now that they ended up together, he had the perfect opportunity.

However, Serestia appears to have no interest in getting any kind of help from Raydon.

Ignoring his presence for most of the time, she continued to attack the beasts as if she were alone in the monster zone.

Raydon also killed a couple of undead beasts, but let her kill most of them. 

By the time, they cleaned up the field, Serestia already scored 75 points. Raydon only had 15 points with three kills of rank-5 monsters.

The only thing that\'s remaining on the battlefield is the boss. The giant tortoise that was looking like it was sleeping. The Shimmerwood Tortoise hasn\'t moved an inch no matter how much chaos the girl is causing on its turf.

Seeing that the boss wasn\'t moving, Serestia sat on a rock and concentrated on recovering her soul energy. She wants to be at her peak when facing a boss like that.

Shimmerwood tortoise is something well known to her. Even though it is in an undead state, she is still recognized by its four eyes.

The monster is a rank-6 of gold grade. It is an earth-type beast that has a high defense. Unless you have attacks with an armor penetration effect or you have far higher strength, it is difficult to beat this boss.

However, luckily for them, the boss is an undead with nothing but a skeleton. Even if it tries to hide in its shell, they can still attack it through the gaps, although from the front. Its huge size and slow speed are another advantage for Raydon and Serestia.

Serestia was meditating, Raydon was staring at her and he was lost in his thoughts.

This silence went on for 15 minutes, but Serestia couldn\'t bear it anymore and shouted in frustration as she broke out of her meditation. "What is it?" She asked as she turned toward him.

Raydon shook his head, "Nothing."

"Then, why do you keep staring at me?" Serestia looked quite annoyed. She further added, "Go and kill the monster if you want to. Or just leave the zone. No need to stick with me."

Raydon replied, "I was just wondering. Whether it is luck or not, you are talented enough to release the attribute energy. You must have great potential. Why did your mother arrange your marriage with him? It\'s not like he is intelligent, wealthy, or has high potential. Not to mention, you are neither born in some 7th Epoch nor the ruling royal family."

"Hmm? Why do you have a sudden interest in my personal life?" Serestia continued to speak in a rude manner, not intending to forgive him.

However, Raydon showed patience, unlike his usual self, replying to her that he was merely passing the time and she wouldn\'t need to bother herself to answer him.

Upon staring at him for a few seconds in silence, Serestia let out a deep sigh and looked at the false sky, "Nearly four decades ago, during my grandpa\'s second term as the President, the police arrested Bill\'s grandparents in a money laundering case. It hurt the company\'s reputation badly and it went bankrupt. Not being able to pay money to the investors, they committed suicide.

However, a few years ago, it was discovered during an investigation of another case that they were innocent and were framed by their in-laws. A Life for life; that\'s what Bill\'s parents asked my mom when she went to their house to apologize and propose compensation. Since she cannot just give away her life, she promised them to marry me to their son and make them our in-laws."

Raydon blinked his eyes twice and asked, "Then, what would you do if Bill was in a secret relationship with someone else?"

"Hmm?"
