Chapter 41 The Glinx Has Intelligence?
Hina and three of her black owl made their way to the village of Tamron after taking the Shinoku plant from Selvin.
The journey wasn't especially long, but it was tiring nonetheless, they crossed the middle of a forest before finally seeing the path that led to Tamron.
Hina was asleep in the wagon while her valkyries sat down in front to watch out for any danger that might be lurking in the woods.
"I'm so tired, I might die." Rina, one of the top fighters on the team, uttered as she rested her head on the wagon.
Her outfit fitted her perfectly, and her silky blonde hair only added to the charm around her body.
"Calm down Rina, we are almost there," Horina said, she had dark short hair and wore short pants with a crop top leaving her stomach exposed.
"Look, I can even see the town square from here!" Alisha, the cutest and youngest
one on the team yelled as she rode the horse.
She had long pink hair and wore a long dress with a black tight underneath it.
"We'll be there in no time, hopefully, we get to mess up some assholes along the way!" Horina said with an exciting grin on her lips.
Hina was still asleep at the back of the cart when she suddenly opened her eyes, "Something is coming." She uttered.
She stood to her feet and grabbed her sword before moving to the rider side of the wagon, "Stop the horse…now!" She yelled.
Alisha immediately panicked as she pulled the rope to stop the horse, "Uh-n, M-Miss Hina, why did you yell stop?" She asked as she turned to Hina with dots of tears in her eyes.
"They are coming." Hina uttered before walking out of the wagon and pulling her sword from its sheath.
"Wait, you can mean.." Rina muttered before looking around like she was searching for something.
"The Glinx, they are moving here, we can't outrun them… we are going to take them head-on," Hina uttered with a defensive stance following her deadly stare.
Horina jumped down from the wagon with a smile on her face, "Well it's about time, I was getting sad thinking I won't punch something today," She uttered.
A dark wild tattoo began to show up all around her body before spreading to her hand and face.
"Get ready Dodi, I'm about to wreck something." Horina smiled, as she spoke to her demon.
The rest got down from the wagon, while Rina pulled out her spear with breeze circling her position, Alisha had a small teddy bear that she was hugging as she moved closer to the team.
Hina had her eyes locked in front of her, but then out of nowhere, they all heard a loud growl behind them.
'They were behind?' Hina muttered to herself, she took a sharp turn and leaped toward the Glinx.
With her hand held firmly on her sword, she sliced the Glinx in midair, leaving its remains falling to the ground.
Hina landed on the wagon and slashed her sword to the side for the blood to splash away.
"I think that should be it, there are no more Glinx to worry about," Hina said as she pulled her sword back in her seath.
"Miss Hina look out!" Rina yelled.
Hina looked to see the terrified expression on their faces, she couldn't quite figure out why until she saw the huge shadow covering her.
She immediately looked to the back to see a Glinx falling to her position with its mouth open.
'Damn it, how did I let my guard down!' Hina yelled with her hand resting on her sword, 'I won't make it in time.. damn it!'.
Alisha, in a state of fear, tightened her grip on the doll she was holding and multiple demonic-looking tentacles came rushing out of the doll's mouth.
Hina could already feel the slimy drool of the Glinx dropping on her skin, none of the valkyries were fast enough to get to her.
The tentacles grabbed the Glinx at the last second, just before it was about to snap its teeth and eat Hina.
Once the tentacles had grabbed hold of the Glinx, it began to pull the Glinx into its mouth before it devoured it whole.
Alisha squeaked in fear, "I told you not to eat them anymore Poseidon!" She muttered.
The bear turned its head and looked at her with a laugh, "You're so cute Alisha, how else was I supposed to kill it?" It continued to laugh.
Hina was still on the wagon with a terrified look on her face, Rina noticed and walked toward her.
"Miss Hina, are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah Miss Hina, it's rare to see a Glinx get the jump on you, was something on your mind?" Horina said with her hand resting on her waist.
"Uhm…. Guys… Posiden said there are more coming this way." Alisha muttered.
"More? You mean Glinx?" Rina asked.
"She's right, it was my mistake, it is obvious they are targeting something , their movement is too precise for it to be random." Hina voiced.
She jumped down from the wagon and walked to the front as she drew her sword back out.
"Targeting, what could they be targeting?" Horina asked.
Hina's silence suddenly made them realize what it could be, they all turned to look at the Shinoku plant that was still in the wagon
"The plant," Rina mumbled.
"Exactly, which can only mean one thing, they want to stop us from getting the plant to the village, a pretty smart move," Hina said.
"Those bastards are intelligent now? Geeez!" Horina uttered as she slammed her foot on the ground.
"We'll worry about that later, for now, make sure your cursed weapons are ready, this is going to be a long fight." Hina uttered with her sword glowing.
Rina stretched out her spear while Horina brought out two fighting gloves and wore them on her hand.
They could hear the rumbling of multiple Glinx marching toward them at full speed from all directions.
"Be ready, it's going to be in a flash of seconds, do not let your guard down!" Hina yelled.
Almost instantly three Glinx whooshed out of the forest with a growl and their mouth ready to snap at the girls.
