Chapter 72: 71. Awakened

In the never-ending darkness, Lilith sat before Letza with her head resting on top of her palms. 

Her eyes radiated a savage light as Letza knelt before her, apologizing for the joke she played on Lilith. 

The Goddess, who created this Universe and the life within it, was pleading mercy. Oh, Letza was being treated poorly. Lilith could hardly give a fuck if she was the Goddess, and the fire under her eyes couldn't be washed away... other than the Goddess' tears that threatened to gush out.

On the verge of crying, Letza looked at Lilith as she sniffled. The shameless one attacked with puppy eyes, "I was wrong."

"...Are you being serious right now?"

"No one can see us here, so I am... now, please forgive me."
Lilith sighed, "That's enough; you're a Goddess, can't you some more backbone? I only yelled at you, and you're already acting like this?"
Letza nodded her head. And as if nothing happened, her face beamed as she smiled.

"You still remember that I am a Goddess, and yet you still treat me like this?" 

"What? Want me to prostrate myself to you, Letza?"

"Please don't; I don't want you doing that. Being treated as an equal is much more comforting. The Seraphs are good children, but their zeal is too overbearing. In fact, if the Seraphs could see us here, they'll be going around hunting you down to the Edges of the Universe."

"They're that Ruthless?"

"Like a kid that had its candy stolen."

"Seems like a pleasant bunch." 

Lilith joked, and Letza didn't really rebuke her. 

"Fine, fine, I won't. Now, back to the topic, you were asking about your body, correct?" Letza asked, and Lilith nodded her head, "Well, look here, you're not dead, just resting. When you pushed your body to defend against the humans' weapons, your fatigue reached 567%; if you were a human or a daemon, or just someone who has a normal fleshy body, you would have died. Thankfully, Alpha was there to save your ass by stabilizing your body, and with your Nature and Light element working, you are currently in a healing process. Don't worry, you won't die. You'll wake up anytime soon."

"Is that so? Then that's good; if that's, why don't you hack the system and drag one of the wine barrels in this place. Let's have a drink." With her mind being freed from being worried over whether she is dead or not, Lilith already urged Letza to do something she wasn't even sure possible.

Well, one can forgive her because the one before her is a Goddess; she's supposed to be capable of doing anything, so why not ask anything?

But, Letza shook her head. A white light appeared underneath Lilith's feet, and her body began to shine, "What's happening?"

"You're already healed; I just visited you before you wake up." Letza watched as Lilith rose up from the ground, and with a smile, she said, "Oh yeah, you must be bummed out about losing the Forest of Beast, right? I can't replace that place, but I'll instead replace it with some minor information. You would want to look at your minimap when you wake you're surrounded. Your followers draw them in, the stronger daemons are inside the Village, and the others are outside for a pinch attack. As an added bonus, so you won't have to torture anyone, the one who attacked you was Stronghold 3! I hope this is enough to replace the Forest of Beast."

"What if I say it is not?"

"I'll offer you my condolence." Letza joked, "...the daemons who died in the Fores of Beast got reincarnated without a problem."

"I didn't ask."

"Just saying."

Letza's voice echoed in Lilith's ears, and as she awoke, she felt her body to be oddly refreshed in the physical world. Almost instinctively, she did what Letza told her to do and checked the minimap.

Her drowsy mind was immediately cleared as she chortled, "You have got to be kidding me."

Qurenara, the second name every daemon begets. It was the name that only the direct followers of the Priestess can possess. 

There are two original followers, the Golden Light Sylva and the Master of Death Dhampy. But the third arose after the night the moon responded to the rebirth of her heroic figure, she who willingly laid down her life to keep the peace of the Village, Sylva's sister, the Martyr Luna.

In the scarlet forest where every able-bodied combatant mobilized, there is one form of communication that they can trust, Luna's [Lunar Mind].

She can't use it during the day, but at night that's when Luna's brightness shines. The Lunar Mind is a skill she was granted as she evolved into the Moon Queen.

She controls the flow of information during the night when the Village was primarily active, keeping the flow of information going,

It costs her a lot of stamina, mental energy, and mana, but she has the reserves to do it for everyone. Currently, she's LVL 75. The highest level of the three followers, but still the weakest in terms of combat power.

Having no talent for fighting, this was the best role for Luna. 

In some branch on a tree line surrounding a clearing, there was a Meat Dungeon Core. There, Luna was observing the situation while talking.

~Sylva? Where are you? Big Sis Dhampy had been angered; she's moving in to take care of the boss here.~

~We're already moving, but it seems like something weird is happening.~

~Something weird?~

~Yes, we managed to get our hands on an HNP (Hunter Network Phone), and we received a report. Humans are about to raid the Village.~

Luna, who was atop a tree, had her expression stiffen. She turned her attention to the clearing where Dhampy was fighting a daemon resembling a dog and began to think.

Dhampy moved around an open area; around her were the injured daemons of the Village she came here to save. She alone faced the LVL 65 Blazing Wolf with a single sword in hand.

'I can't disturb her right now. Or else everyone will lose their lives.' Luna's eyes gravitated to the young Werewolves watching from the side.

Dhampy looked at the two-meter-tall crystal behind the beast. Her eyes glowed a pristine color of black; it was an intense glare. 

Awooo!

The dog howled and breathed out fire, or at least it tried to. Dhampy simply moved in, taking a step forward and appearing before the beast. Her sharpened sword moved from down below and stabbed it from its vulnerable chin.

Stabbed! The grotesque sound of flesh being pierce sounded out. The Blazing Wolf wishes to get away, but ten figures descended from the skies as soon as it tried to do anything.

Ten ax kicks came down from above, targeting the wolf's back!

Boom!

"Kawooo!" The wolf's back turned to a disfigured letter C as ten young werewolves proceeded to tear its body limb from limb.

'The earlier defeated Young Werewolves found their second wind. This should boost their trust in Big Sis as well as their confidence.' Luna thought to herself.

Dhampy cleaned her sword with a single swing of her sword. Dhampy looked at the werewolves and smiled as she said, "Your coordination and power are increasing; your assistance also arrived timely despite me not saying anything. Just some more time and you'll be able to join the other groups. "

"It is nothing, Master. All we achieve is because of your tutelage and guidance."

"Is that so, then harvest the Meat Core; we have yet to create a pleasant meat factory. This is our first time harvesting one."

"We understand."

The werewolves didn't say anything too much. Heading to the Meat Dungeon's Core that is out in the open, the werewolves harvested the Core. This Meat Core produces Wolf Meat, and though Werewolves do not eat Wolves, they do not condone the Village from doing so.
Luna descended from where she was perched in and rushed to Dhampy's side.

"What is it?" Dhampy casually asked.

"Humans are gathering. I believe they managed to track us again. What are we going to do?"

"I~."

"Come to me!"

Dhampy was just about to say something but paused for she heard something, a voice calling to her. And it was not just Dhampy who acted like this because Luna also heard it, and somewhere in the forest was Sylva.

All three smiled as they all thought, "She's awake."

They all hurried back to the village screaming, "She's Awake!"

Somewhere in the Forest, Lilith opened her dwelling. She looked at the moon and then at the minimap where dozens of red dots surrounded her and sighed, "Well, I wish I can massacre them quickly."
