Chapter 73: It's Nothing

Davis saw Ellia send a youth flying, with her fists.

'Oh, looks like that youth is a bit okay as he is not aiming for Ellia's life. Guess I could spare him...'

Just when Davis thought like that, suddenly he noticed a scrawny youth get behind Ellia as he lifted a dagger and slashed at her.

Davis almost immediately launched himself at him if it weren't for the stupid mistake the scrawny youth made when he arrived behind Ellia.

'That idiot! I thank the heavens that he isn't an assassin!" Davis's heart, felt at ease when he looked at that scrawny youth speak before slashed at her.

He was at least sure that Ellia would've been able to dodge that with her skills as he had sparred with her before.

Then he saw Ellia dodge that slash as she hurriedly retreated when suddenly an internal fight broke out in the enemy team.

'What the hell!?'

Davis almost couldn't almost hold his laughter but his impression of those two youths who shielded Ellia turned good.

Suddenly he could see Ellia laugh weirdly as she moved to the scrawny youth in a second.

Davis's eyes went wide as he saw her stab that scrawny youth's heart with her finger while she had a calm and indifferent expression on her face.

He gulped as he thought that was scary. He never saw this expression before.

'Had she killed a person before?' He thought as he shook his head.

He then saw those five youth who were ready to kill her, surround her in a bid to end her.

Davis narrowed his eyes as he thought of making his move. He thought that Ellia will panic as she had no battle experience before, but the sight before him made him stay his hand.

He saw Ellia cast the Second Layer Technique of the Extinction Lightning Judgement with a calm face as she fried her opponents to crisp without any reaction.

Davis's heart almost leapt out of his chest as he couldn't believe this scene. He thought that she turned into a person that he doesn't know of.

'Since when did she start killing people like cutting cabbages?' He had this thought and hurriedly moved to spare those two youths who had supported her.

He then saw Ellia sparing those two youths which then made him heave a sigh of relief.

He thought as he ruefully smiled. 'Haha, guess I jumped to conclusions. It was my fault, I brainwashed her too much about survival that she didn't even blink to kill her opponent.'

Davis then saw her call out to him as she collected the tokens one by one.

Just when he was going to reveal himself, he saw her suddenly collapsing while he quickly moved to support her.

'Fuck! As I thought! Which human could possibly not be exhausted and pained mentally when they kill another living being for the first time.' He thought as he felt guilt in his heart but quickly assured himself that it was a necessary process for her to stay alive even if anything happens to him later on.

After all, he couldn't be there for her every single time when something bad happens.

....

A day passed while the participants either killed or robbed to get their hands on the tokens.

At a place, where there was a multitude of flora and a vibrant grassland filled with countless trees, two silhouettes could be seen as one was sleeping on the other one, who was sitting.

These two silhouettes were Davis and Ellia.

'What is this? Why is she still not waking up?' Davis thought as he looked at her worriedly.

It had been a day and still, there was no sign of Ellia waking up.

Just when he thought of scouting his surroundings, he saw her eyelids gently tremble.

Ellia opened her eyes as she looked at Davis who was looking at her intently. She then realised that she was given a lap pillow by Davis while she blushed visibly.

"Good Morning, Ellia. Although it is night, hehe," said Davis as he greeted her in a warm tone.

Ellia quickly stood up while she involuntarily remembered about the event that took place earlier as she started to breathe heavily.

"Calm down, Ellia. What you did was correct, there's no need to be hard on yourself! It was for survival and there was no helping it!" Davis couldn't help but comfort her, seeing this sight. He originally thought that he shouldn't pry on this topic as it might remind her of something unpleasant but since she remembered, then he had no choice but to comfort her.

Ellia who heard that was visibly comforted but she shook her head as if that wasn't the case.

"Hmm?" Davis couldn't get what she was trying to say.

She then shook her head again and looked at him sadly as she bit her lips.

"It's nothing, I was just too scared..."

Davis replied, "Anyone will be scared after their first experience of killing. No need to worry over that."

'In this world, we will probably get used to it.' He thought to himself ruefully but didn't say it to her as he thought that she should understand this herself.

Ellia nodded as she stayed silent.

A few moments passed awkwardly before Davis suddenly remembered something he had to say to Ellia.

"Ellia, just when the first day ended, that solemn voice made its entry again. It said that we will be able to see our ranks in our tokens, as well as the number of points we hold."

While saying that, he took out his token as he inserted his energy into it.

[Fifth Island

Name: ---

Position: 9,046,970

Points: 50]

"Oh, it also said that we could insert our names or alias into it." Davis then added.

"Ellia, check your token now."

Ellia nodded while she took out her token as she inserted her energy into it.

[Fifth Island

Name: ---

Position: 11,446,330

Points: 1]

"It says that I have only one point?" Ellia muttered in confusion.

"Of course, you haven't still absorbed their tokens, have you?"

"Uh, yes..." Ellia uttered as she gave the tokens she collected to Davis.

"Hey! Increase your points! Didn't you defeat them!?" Davis refused it as she was the one who defeated them.

"Okay!" She muttered as she absorbed those eight tokens. The eight tokens then disintegrated as if they didn't exist in the first place.

Out of the eight tokens, two tokens were green, one token was blue, while the other tokens were white.

[Fifth Island

Name: ---

Position: 8,636,767

Points: 76]
