Hours later…

After Amon and the girls had used all the blood fruits and medicinal herbs in the medicinal bath, their power grew a little more.

Now they were dressed and ready to leave the cave. Outside, it had just stopped raining.

“It stopped raining the moment we were going out. What luck~” Ariel reached out and didn’t feel drops of water fall on her hand.

The girls smiled. It was good that the rain had stopped; there was little time left for the time they could stay in the secret kingdom. It was nice that they were able to have enjoyed it to the fullest, especially now that their strength had increased a lot. This would be a good place to test their strength.

“Ariel, your hair is a mess.” Barbara looked at the other girl and laughed.

“Tsk, it always looks like this on a rainy day.” Ariel gave an irritated reply as she smoothed her hair.

“Wait,” Julia said as she approached Ariel, “Let me help you. I have a comb.”

Julia then took out a small hand comb and used it to adjust Ariel’s hair as she stood in front of her.

“Want to tie it in a ponytail?” She asked as she brushed Ariel’s hair.

“That would probably be for the best,” Ariel nodded, as the weather was still kind of damp. If she didn’t love the look, it wouldn’t take long for her hair to be a mess again.

Amon, who was on the side, looked at Ariel, then at Maisa and Julia. The latter two had beautiful blue hair and were beautifully groomed. Then he looked at Barbara. She also had her red hair neatly arranged. Although it was a little wavy, he found her attractive with hair like that.

“Amon?” Barbara felt his gaze on her and looked at him. “Do you like what you see?”

“Yes,” Amon said sincerely.

Barbara already knew he was being sincere, but she couldn’t help but be surprised and laughed a little awkwardly, but it soon turned into a self-proud laugh.

Amon looked at Maisa, who looked somewhat jealous. Even without understanding these things very well, he said, “I like looking at you, too.”

“Thanks.” Maisa’s pale eyes gleamed with brilliance and her delicate, pretty face immediately became excited.

Ariel laughed at how they were interacting. She was grateful when Maisa had finished combing and tying her hair. Her long silver hair tied in a ponytail made her look softer and with the charm of a teenager showing off her neck. Her appearance now was quite refreshing, like a painting of a beautiful young woman with silver hair and huge breasts to envy. 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.

“We can continue now,” Ariel said.

Amon looked at her and after a couple of seconds he nodded, “Yes.”

When they started to walk, the two twins were on Amon’s right side while Barbara and Ariel were on the left side. It was a picturesque sight. Too bad no one was there to witness it.

In a short time, they had already gone deeper into the forest. Because of the girls’ newfound discovery, they were unable to constrain their aura to perfection and the weaker beasts fled. Because of this, they took a long time until they finally found a beast.

Beast was the wrong way to address the creatures here. They were a form of skeleton monster that appeared to be a large gorilla before being turned into a skeleton.

Ariel looked at one of the monster’s information.

“I will go.” Barbara went ahead of the rest of them.

“Are you going to set fire to the bones?” Ariel laughed as she said this.

At the thought of seeing a skeleton on fire and running, she couldn’t help but laugh at the bizarre scene.

“If he’s not immune to fire, yes,” Barbara agreed.

Because it was a skeleton, she could also see that the skeleton monster’s core was in its chest, glowing a neon red color. Barbara ran towards the skeleton. The skeleton reacted violently and began to move. Its skeletal joints had received an incredible amount of stimulation from friction, and when the force of violent movement was added to the mix, the bones began to emit an ominous sound.

Barbara’s footsteps stomping on the ground were surrounded by blue flames. Before the skeleton monster realized it, she was already ahead of it.

*Whoosh!*

Her hand, surrounded by blue flames, hit the skeleton’s head and burst with flames. All of the skeleton’s skull caught fire and went up in blue flames.

*CRACK!*

Cracks appeared on the skeletal monster’s skeletal face and it took a couple steps back while its bones were on fire.

Now it looked like a full-size skeleton torch.

“Hahahaha! Oh, I… This is hilarious~!” Ariel was laughing maniacally as she held her stomach.

Julia and Maisa joined her and laughed at the sight of the skeleton monster that was entirely on fire, roaring furiously, God knows what sound it was capable of.

Barbara, who didn’t intentionally do this, smiled a little while scratching her head, but soon she went back to attacking the skeleton monster.

With her body surrounded by blue flames, her entire body was her fist. She advanced like a flamethrower, leaving a trail of fire wherever she went. Furthermore, in that instant, her body moved at an alarming speed!

*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*

In a few seconds, the girls and Amon saw Barbara exchange several blows against the skeleton monster. She was hit, but not injured; the blue flames were like armor, protecting her from the skeleton monster’s attacks.

“Ahhh!” Roaring furiously, the skeleton monster continued to attack. It didn’t seem to have anything going for it but very high strength. It was hard to know how it had gotten a genetic unlock, but then again, it was a monster; it didn’t necessarily have to do what the humans did.

In just a few exchanges of blows, the skeleton monster was covered in marks of kicks and punches, and it was also completely surrounded by flames.

Cracks appeared all over the skeleton monster’s body. Its reaction speed and time had greatly decreased. It was clear that this skeleton monster was already at death’s door with serious injuries.

“This is the end!” Barbara declared as she punched the skeleton monster’s chest region.

Her hand went through the crack, completely cracking the chest, creating an opening. Quickly, she placed her hand inside the skeleton monster’s chest and pulled out the skeleton monster’s core.
