The monsters’ attack patterns against their set positions were simple.
Claw missiles, snowstorms. Hail, charge, swipe. All were attacks that could be dodged or blocked. Luella stepped back, receiving her allies’ protection while assessing the situation, ready to quickly use the return spell in case of emergency.
“Does it hurt a lot?”
When Luella asked Kite, who had been knocked down by the monster’s charge, he got up and shook his head.
“The pain reduction potion might be why it doesn’t hurt.”
“If the level difference with the opponent is large, that potion won’t have any effect. If the attacks don’t hurt, it means we can defeat that monster.”
Buoyed by Luella’s words, attacks poured onto the monster again.
As Kite let out a booming kiai, his sword and shield began to shine. Seeing his mana drain rapidly in the status window, it seemed like he was planning to quickly end it using all his special moves.
When the monster let out an ear-splitting screech and charged again, Kite slammed his shield into the ground, creating a temporary barrier before swinging his sword.
Kraaack.
The sword tore the monster’s hide, and a dark fluid spurted out.
“Got it. Now, attack!”
Upon Kite’s command, everyone joined the offensive.
Lapellian’s fire talisman, the defensive summoned creature Hazen called, Mitchell’s rapid-fire arrow attacks.
It was clearly different from yesterday. The attacks landed quickly, and they could see the monster’s health bar depleting, albeit slowly.
“Stand on the right! It throws its missiles from the left side, so let’s attack from here and move to the left.”
Major progress. It was impressive.
Just the day before, everyone had been attacking haphazardly. Now, they were considering effective strategies and acting upon them.
“I’ll attack from the back. The damage seems to be higher?”
Mitchell turned back, put away his bow, and drew his twin swords.
“Attacking with swords?”
“The hide is too thick, it feels like the arrows don’t penetrate deeply. It might be better to quickly target vital points.”
“I don’t think I need a defensive summon either. I’ll switch to an attack summon. This bastard falls to just one good hit. We hardly even look at it.”
They began to unleash attacks, each finding their own methods.
Tien, who was standing beside Luella, was supporting the others with the few ranged attacks he had.
“Not much left. 3%. Use all special moves.”
The moment Kite’s command dropped, magic flashed everywhere. They were pulling out all the stops, probably because they had been conserving mana.
Kraaaaaa.
The monster let out a final roar and fell to the ground with a heavy thud. Though its health showed 0% on the screen, they were cautious and didn’t approach for a while.
Ding.
A familiar notification sound. Everyone started moving their fingers in mid-air, as if they all heard it.
Somehow, Luella felt proud at their now-unfazed expressions.
“Quest complete. Look, isn’t the experience incredible?”
“Ah, Luella and Tien leveled up. Huh? Me too.”
“Me too.”
“Kite and Lapellian also leveled up.”
Level-up lights burst forth everywhere.
“But why is Luella’s so flashy?”
Hazen squinted, as if blinded.
“It does seem unusually flashy compared to ours, doesn’t it?”
“Yeah.”
At everyone’s gaze, Luella tilted her head.
“Is it that different?”
She could feel that her body was glowing, but without a mirror, she couldn’t tell how different it was from others.
“Is it because I’m a healer?”
“Or did you level up a lot all at once?”
“Well, there must be a reason. More importantly, did you check your bags? We got multiple reward items.”
Everyone started fiddling with their fingers again to check.
“Wow, it’s armor?”
Kite spoke as they checked their bags and excitedly discussed the rewards.
“Let’s head back. After defeating the monsters, there’s always an attack from the Curan assault team. There might be one this time as well, so let’s hurry.”
Kite was right. It seemed like today was running late, and they had to leave quickly as they didn’t know when the assault team might appear again.
As people approached, Luella calculated the distance to the carriage and activated the return function.
Hall of the Pheros mansion.
The carriages they had ridden today were lined up next to the Rando carriage, which they had once ridiculed as a piece of art.
As everyone burst into a soft laugh, Raphael grumbled as if he was displeased.
“Unbelievable. You brought the carriages inside again. You’re not planning on keeping them here, are you?”
Facing Raphael’s complaint, Luella could only smile awkwardly. Even she thought it was excessive to have two carriages inside the mansion.
“I didn’t think this through. I should have set the return point in front of the entrance.”
Noticing Luella’s uncomfortable expression, Kite walked up to Raphael and scowled.
“It’s not like she did it on purpose. Being able to return easily is something to be thankful for, so say nothing.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
