When Misty saw that Argon's hand was about to reach her, about to catch her, her mind raced.
She knew that if she was caught, then all was for nothing.
Kelvin's death would be for nothing and all of the hopes he had would've been for nothing.
So, for the first ti, she used her 'Angle's Sacrifice' in a way that she never even thought about.
Unlike normal cases, where she would decide how many years of her lifespan she wanted to burn to upgrade a said thing, this ti she didn't decide it.
This ti she used 'Angle's Sacrifice' like a nitro.
'Ahhhhhhhhhh!'
She scread internally as she burned her lifespan to increase her speed to sothing that she could never have achieved.
Her speed was so fast that even Argon at his full speed looked slow to her.
Her vision blurred and in a second she was out of the cave, but in that second, she realized that she had burned 20 years of her lifespan.
But she didn't relax yet, she kept running as she looked back from ti to ti.
She was ready to use her ability again if needed.
'…he isn't following anymore, right?'
Misty thought inwardly, but just then she heard the bush behind her rustle.
'He's still her!'
She panicked when she heard the bush rustling, and the next second she used her ability again.
Burning away 20 more years of her lifespan.
But she was still fine, for an SS-ranked raider, 40 years lifespan was like 10 years for normal people.
Her looks changed as she looked mature now, but that was all.
She didn't turn into so old woman, she just turned into a lady in her late 20s from being a lady in her early 20s.
However, as she ran and ran, she finally realized a problem.
'I'm out of mana…'
She was feeling a lot of strain on her mind just by keeping herself awake.
But with whatever mana she had left in her body, she tried to heal her ntal strain, and although it llowed down for a while, she knew that it would return soon and with more intensity.
She kept running without looking back until she heard the sound of waves.
'There is a beach here?!'
She exclaid inwardly, but then she recalled the territorial signatures outside of the gate.
'It was a coastal area from the start….'
She realized that now, but the tal strain that she had been preventing for a while finally ca.
But as she navigated herself out of the woods and bushed, she heard a voice.
"We have an uninvited guest…"
It was a masculine voice and she knew who it was without even asking.
'Alex Matthew….'
She didn't even have the power to call out to them.
*Woosh*
She heard a wooshing sound as if sothing or soone moved at a lightning-quick speed, but it wasn't toward her.
When she finally squeezed out of the bushes, she saw the guild master of the Crimson Lotus Guild and the Honorary guild master standing there looking at her cautiously.
It was Alice and Alex who looked at her.
"Aren't you Misty Florence?"
Alice asked with a frown but Alex placed a hand on her shoulder.
"She is out of mana."
Hearing Alex's words, her frown only deepened.
But then saw Misty falling to the ground with her eyes closed.
Alex, however, was faster as he held her before she could fall.
"Better get you to a nice place to rest."
Alex spoke as he lifted her in a princess carry.
"You could've just lifted her with your wind magic…."
Alice muttered with dissatisfaction.
"Oh? Where is this burning sll coming from?"
Alex muttered as he sniffed the air.
"I'm not jealous of her!"
Alice stomped her feet but Alex just chuckled.
"All right, calm down, we can't let her weak body be exposed to mana right now, it might have adverse effects, let her recover so mana first."
Alex explained why he lifted her like that before he walked toward the resting chairs he had made for Alice and Ann.
"I see…"
Alice nodded her head with an understanding expression.
Alex placed Misty on the chair and was about to move away when Misty held his hand.
"Hm? You're still conscious?"
Alex raised a brow in surprise, but Misty just muttered in a low voice.
"Help them…."
She still had her eyes closed and she couldn't move but she used all of her willpower to voice out those words.
"Huh? Help who?
Who are 'them'?"
Alex asked in confusion, but Misty was already unconscious by then.
"She is already out."
Alex muttered as he sighed.
"Do you have any idea of what she was talking about?"
Alice asked as she looked at Misty.
"Sothing must've happened at their end, what else could it be?"
Alex shrugged as he spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.
"What are we going to do?"
Alice asked curiously.
"We have no obligation to help them, and we aren't close enough to rush to save them without knowing what happened, so let's wait for her to wake up."
Alex replied to Alice.
"Ok then, we will wait for her to wake up."
Alice nodded as well before she looked at Misty one more ti.
"She looks like she had grown older in just so hours…."
Alice recalled seeing Misty in the Blue Empire's group, so she could swear that Misty looked a bit younger at that ti.
But she was not the only one who noticed it….
"Well, that is because she is 40 years older than she was so hours ago."
Alex spoke as looked at Misty with his all-seeing eyes activated.
Sa as Alice, Alex had observed the team of the Blue Empire as well, so she noticed the change in Misty as well and used his all-seeing eyes on her.
"What do-"
Alice turned toward Alex in confusion but her words were left stuck in her throat as she saw Alex's eyes.
"Cool…."
She unconsciously muttered.
It was the second ti she had seen Alex use that ability but that looked cool nonetheless.
But then Alex deactivated the ability, causing Alice to finally focus back on the topic.
"What do you an that she is 40 years older?"
"She had used so kind of ability that burns her lifespan to give her power-ups.
She must have used it to run away from whatever it was that made her run away."
Alex explained to Alice and she nodded her head.
Just then, Ann and Noctura also arrived as they had cleared the Aquathrens in the area.
"Misty Florence?"
Ann raised a brow as she saw the face of the uninvited guest, and then she looked at Alex and Alice questioning.
Alice nodded her head before she started explaining to Ann what had happened.
Alex, on the other hand, went to Noctura and started praising her for the good work.
